Chapter 1197

Jin Lei’s explosion was very sudden. Nobody expected it—He was still bitterly begging for mercy the previous moment, but the next second, the tides were suddenly turned as he went straight for Chu Liuyue!

He did so in a very harsh manner as well!

The moment Jin Lei rushed over, Chu Liuyue realized what he wanted to do. Her leg moved, and she quickly dodged him.

It was most likely because Rong Xiu had set up a barrier around her, so even though she was situated within the God Realm, she didn’t feel any impact and could move as freely as she wanted. This gave her a chance to avoid Jin Lei.

But at this point, Jin Lei was maniacal—the fate of dying made him break down. When everyone turned around and pushed all the responsibility to him, he knew that he was dead!

This matter had been spread far and wide.

Ling Xiao Academy needed an explanation, and the participating clans had to push the responsibility away. Even for the Golden Wings Sect, the sect leader wouldn’t be willing to go against Ling Xiao academy and the other clans like the Sky-Cloud Empire just because of him—who didn’t bring anything back!

Jin Lei just had to think to realize that he would definitely be the sacrificial lamb!

The outcome had been set, and he had no other way. So in his maniacal state, he could only think of one way to protect himself—hold a Ling Xiao Academy student hostage!

Whoever that student was and what identity they had didn’t matter. The most important thing was that it was impossible for Ling Xiao Academy to publicly give up on their student in front of so many people!

They will definitely give in! These thoughts immediately popped up in Jin Lei’s mind. Thus, he took action without hesitation.

Even if forcefully escaping Rong Xiu’s God Realm would cause him to be covered in wounds, he couldn’t even save himself at this moment. Therefore, why would he think about anything else?

“Black-boned leopard!” As he rapidly got close to Chu Liuyue, he hollered and summoned his own fiend!

To be more accurate, it was a legendary fiend!

A short but stout black figure immediately appeared on command! It was a totally black leopard with only dark-green eyes that looked like ghoul fire, causing one to feel coldness from the bottom of their heart.

It was even faster than Jin Lei! In the blink of an eye, it had already rushed behind Chu Liuyue!

The human and fiend prepared to attack Chu Liuyue!

Chu Liuyue’s gaze turned cold. “Tuan Zi!”

Hula!

The sound of wings flapping could be heard.

A bright-red, red-tailed phoenix appeared in front of everyone. It spread its wings, and the fire burned strongly!

Everywhere it passed, everything was about to be burned!

Seeing Tuan Zi, the black-boned leopard had a moment of hesitation and panic flash across its eyes.

Within the God Residence Realm, there were quite a few legendary fiends. But even if they were both legendary fiends, they had differences in status. Among the many legendary fiends, the two ancient legendary fiend groups—great phoenix dragon and red-gold heavenly phoenix—were in the lead.

Those ranked after were the legendary fiends that had the same bloodline power as them. Accordingly, their status would be higher if their bloodline power was stronger.

Even though the black-boned leopard was also a legendary fiend, it was still weak in comparison to Tuan Zi, who had an ancient legendary fiend’s bloodline power.

Fear and respect for the two major ancient legendary fiend groups were deeply buried in the black-boned leopard’s bones, causing it to be petrified and want to concede.

With this moment of hesitation, Tuan Zi had already struck first!

Rumble!

A ball of red fire flew out, going straight to the black-boned leopard!

The black-boned leopard hurriedly avoided it, but a part of its tail was still burned.

Tuan Zi directly leaned downward and rushed over! Its claws directly went for the black-boned leopard’s eyes!

The two legendary fiends quickly battled!

Jin Lei’s gaze had a moment of confusion. He didn’t expect that this teen—who looked rather childish—could make an agreement with such a legendary fiend!

Perhaps this Chu Yue isn’t so easy to deal with! But at this point, Jin Lei had no other options. Hence, he didn’t stop in his tracks and rushed toward Chu Liuyue!

At the same time, he used all his strength to fight Rong Xiu’s terrifying suppression as he forcefully raised his ax!

Then, he chopped down harshly!

...

Ka!

A small crack appeared on the golden barrier!

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. While she quickly retreated, she kept circulating her bodily force.

Bang!

The barrier cracked!

At this moment, the two of them were very close to each other!

Jin Lei raised his ax and chopped down again!

The empty air shook as the strong force crazily surged over!

Rong Xiu’s gaze turned sharp, and the murderous intent burned in his eyes!

But at this moment, a strong light suddenly exploded in Chu Liuyue’s hand. A golden ball of light rushed to the sky!

“It’s the royal Yuan instrument!” Someone within the crowd gasped!

Chu Liuyue’s heart shook. Royal Yuan instrument?! So they wanted to snatch this?!

Following this, Chu Liuyue saw that the ball of light left behind a faint golden glow wherever it passed.

Rong Xiu’s golden God Realm silently disappeared.

After seeing this, Chu Liuyue’s heart tightened, and she suddenly realized that something was amiss. The suppression of the royal Yuan instrument is stronger than Rong Xiu’s God Realm?

She looked up.

The ball of light gradually became gentler. From here, one could vaguely see that something seemed to be inside and moved with the golden light.

The interior became increasingly clear. The more important thing was that the suppression rose crazily!

The moment Jin Lei’s ax chopped down, the sharp aura was affected by the ball of light and disappeared silently.

Chu Liuyue sucked in her breath. This thing...

“That’s not a royal Yuan instrument!” Elder Shu Feng suddenly said in shock. “That’s a supreme Yuan instrument!”

...

Once he said this, everyone was shocked!

Everyone—including the elders of Ling Xiao Academy—undoubtedly believed that the treasure at Ancient Feather Abyss would be a royal Yuan instrument. According to the history books of the academy, that Armory Refinement Master was a royal Armory Refinement Master back then.

Nobody expected that the last item he left behind was a rumored supreme Yuan instrument!

No wonder—no wonder he fell not long after he made it. It was clearly because this item exhausted all his strength and energy!

...

In the deadly silence, Jin Lei was the first to react!

On the brink of death, he unleashed all his potential! Without thinking, he directly rushed forward!

Currently, the person closest to the supreme Yuan instrument is that kid and then me! As long as I can overtake the ignorant fool and take the supreme Yuan instrument, the situation can be saved! When Jin Lei thought of this, his gaze turned maniacal as he used all his strength to rush forward!

The moment Jin Lei took action, Chu Liuyue moved as well! Rong Xiu handed the item to me, not for me to lose it! If it really lands in someone else’s hands, I can’t bear the responsibility!

However, she quickly realized a problem—under the supreme Yuan instrument’s terrifying strength, she couldn’t instantly teleport!

In this manner, she would be slower than Jin Lei.

In no time, Jin Lei had already rushed forward! The two of them were inches apart!

Jin Lei directly flung his ax and chopped toward Chu Liuyue! “You want to fight with me? Dream on!”
