The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 342: Chapter 342 I Don’t Believe You Chapter 342: Chapter 342 I Don’t Believe You Within the space, an aura of destruction radiated in all directions.

This aura was overwhelmingly powerful and could not be resisted.

The many Upper and Lower Elders of the Divine Wind Academy frantically fled the range enveloped by the destructive aura before halting and turning their gaze back to the terrifying woman in the white dress.

“Crack!”

Following a strange sound of fracturing.

Everything within that space, whether it was trees, rocks, or anything else, turned to dust in this instant.

Even the light within that space lost its color at that moment.

It took a full breath’s time for the destructive aura to gradually dissipate.

The light within the space returned to normal.

However, the grass and stones within this area were not so lucky.

A radius of several hundred meters had become bare and desolate.

Only the beautiful woman in the white dress stood proudly above.

Who on earth was she?

From where did this person come?

Everyone held their breath, not daring to let out a sound.

Too terrifying!

Not to mention the numerous Inner Court Students of the Divine Wind Academy, even the Elders and others probably found the strength displayed by Fang Ruoyu beyond imagination.

Fang Ruoyu’s move hadn’t caused any harm to the many Martial Artists of the Divine Wind Academy.

However, the members of the Divine Wind Academy were no fools; they clearly understood Fang Ruoyu’s strength — if she had really wanted to kill them, they wouldn’t possibly have had time to escape.

Their successful escape only indicated that Fang Ruoyu did not yet intend to take their lives.

The very people who had just been prepared to make a move on Fang Ruoyu didn’t dare to approach her again.

Fang Ruoyu had spared them once, but that didn’t mean she would do so a second time.

They felt as if they had survived a great calamity.

Unless their brains were flooded with water, how could they possibly rush up again seeking death?

“I want to see Shang Qu!” Fang Ruoyu’s ice-cold voice echoed around, reaching everyone’s ears.

“This, Your Excellency!”

An ancient voice came from afar.

Then, everyone saw a gray figure appearing in the sky.

The Dean of the Divine Wind Academy!

This rapidly approaching gray figure was none other than the Dean of the Divine Wind Academy, Guan Yue.

Guan Yue flew closer and landed in front of Fang Ruoyu.

His aged face was filled with reverence.

“Your Excellency, please be patient.

Shang Qu will arrive soon.

However, I wonder if I may ask, what business do you have with Shang Qu?

Could it be that Shang Qu has offended Your Excellency somewhere?” With a hunched body, Guan Yue asked humbly.

“When Shang Qu arrives, you will naturally know why I seek him,” Fang Ruoyu said indifferently, glancing at Guan Yue.

In her eyes, Guan Yue and everyone else were all the same.

“Very well,” Guan Yue replied with a single word, no longer inquiring.

…

“Shang Qu, come with me at once!” An Academy Elder from the Divine Wind Academy arrived at Shang Qu’s mountain peak, his face ashen as he spoke to Shang Qu.

At this time, Shang Qu still didn’t know what had happened.

Not long ago, due to Jing Yan’s doing, he was stripped of his position as the Outer Court Director of the Divine Wind Academy.

He harbored intense resentment toward Jing Yan.

During the assessment of the Three Major Academies, Jing Yan had agreed to a decisive battle in three months, and the time was almost due.

Every day, he thought about defeating Jing Yan in the life-and-death confrontation.

He believed that it was Jing Yan winning the Golden Order that led to his removal from the position of the Outer Court Director.

“What’s happened?” Shang Qu anxiously questioned the Elder.

“Don’t ask now, just come with me at once,” urged the Elder.

“Yes!” Shang Qu did not dare to linger.

Moments later, Shang Qu followed the Elder to where Fang Ruoyu was.

Shang Qu was stunned!

He saw the Chief Master of the Divine Wind Academy, Guan Yue!

He saw the many Divine Wind Academy Elders gathered around!

He saw the woman in white standing beside Guan Yue and the terrain that had been leveled by a terrifying force.

What had happened?

Thoughts surged in Shang Qu’s mind.

“Dean, Shang Qu has arrived!” the Elder who brought Shang Qu bowed and said to Guan Yue.

“Hm,” Guan Yue nodded, his gaze shifting to Shang Qu.

“Do you recognize this great person, Shang Qu?” Guan Yue asked Shang Qu.

Shang Qu turned his somewhat dull gaze back to Fang Ruoyu.

He shook his head in confusion; he did not recognize Fang Ruoyu, having never seen her before.

And from the Dean’s tone, it seemed this woman had come looking for him.

“Shang Qu!” Before Guan Yue could speak further, Fang Ruoyu herself spoke.

Her icy gaze fell on Shang Qu.

“You have an imminent duel with Jing Yan, do you not?” Fang Ruoyu inquired.

“Eh?” Shang Qu was taken aback.

He truly had not made the connection immediately.

“Yes, it was Jing Yan who challenged me, and I merely accepted!” Shang Qu regained his composure and chose his words carefully.

Guan Yue also looked perplexedly at Fang Ruoyu; it seemed that Fang Ruoyu’s brash intrusion into the Divine Wind Academy was all for the sake of this duel between the young Martial Artist named Jing Yan and Shang Qu.

Jing Yan, Guan Yue was aware as well.

Jing Yan was the only talent in the past thirty years to seize the Golden Order by passing through the Heaven Array.

It was only natural for Guan Yue to know Jing Yan.

“You will forfeit this duel,” Fang Ruoyu stated to Shang Qu in an unmistakable tone.

“Ah?” Shang Qu’s mouth fell open.

“This great person tells you to forfeit the duel with Jing Yan, so you shall forfeit.

Afterwards, you will concede defeat voluntarily,” Guan Yue said to Shang Qu, his voice somewhat harsh.

“Oh!

I understand now,” Shang Qu dared not say anything more.

Although he hadn’t witnessed Fang Ruoyu’s action earlier, he was not foolish; he had a rough understanding of what had just happened.

“Hm,” Fang Ruoyu nodded lightly.

“That will be all, then.

I shall take my leave,” Fang Ruoyu said, then turned and stepped away to depart.

Guan Yue and the others were somewhat in a predicament between laughter and tears.

Just moments ago, Fang Ruoyu was close to tearing down their Divine Wind Academy’s main mountain range, but now it seemed she would casually settle a matter and walk away?

Nevertheless, Guan Yue and the others exhaled in relief.

Fang Ruoyu’s strength was much too formidable; even the combined forces of the entire Divine Wind Academy could not resist her.

Although the Divine Wind Academy had their Guardian Array, once it was activated, it would make it very difficult to resolve any conflict between them.

Moreover, Guan Yue did not think that the Guardian Array would be able to stop Fang Ruoyu.

“No, I do not trust you; it would be better if you were dead,” Fang Ruoyu, who was about to depart, suddenly halted.

She turned back, looking towards Shang Qu, and with a shake of her head, she spoke in a flat tone.

Immediately, she stretched out her slender finger and flicked it lightly in the air towards the stunned Shang Qu.
