I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 256 Shangguan Linghu in Peril!

Xie Xing walked out of the hall, his face filled with hostility. He hadn't expected that he would fall into a trap before he could even torture Jiang He to death.

He did not acknowledge that Jiang He had the ability to kill him.

Xie Xing's elimination was a fact, and his gaze towards Zhibo was filled with hatred and anger.

It's all Jiang He's fault!

This prevented him from competing for first place and also cost him the opportunity to be selected as the God Child.

Xie Xing's expression was very unpleasant. Seeing this, almost all the cultivators from Lingqing Academy avoided Xie Xing. They showed some fear of this senior on the surface, but they had already started talking about it in private.

Xie Xing had long been a prominent figure in Ling Qing because of his affair with Shangguan Ningxue and Zhong Hengshan.

The elimination of Ling Qing and the other cultivators was not as dramatic as Xie Xing's elimination.

"How could Xie Xing be eliminated? He's been following Shangguan Ningxue all along. Shangguan Ningxue is a Nascent Soul cultivator; surely she can protect Xie Xing."

"You'll see for yourself if you watch the live stream. What protection? Xie Xing was really too impulsive. I can see it was a scheme. Didn't he see it? He still got eliminated by Jiang He. He's utterly humiliated."

"Eliminated by Jiang He? How is that possible? Isn't Jiang He the top scorer with the most inflated grades in all the states?"

……

When the news of Xie Xing's elimination came, Shangguan Ningxue was furious. Everything was fine just now, how could these cultivators from Wanjue Academy be so ungrateful!

She pursued Shangguan Linghu, her expression far from calm:

"You eliminated Xie Xing! In exchange, I want all of you dead!"

Shangguan Ningxue caught up with Shangguan Linghu in three steps. Seeing that Shangguan Linghu was weaker than her, her anger subsided somewhat.

"Shangguan Linghu, with your level, you'll only be able to stay at Wanjue Academy for the rest of your life."

Shangguan Ningxue smiled and swiftly slashed Shangguan Linghu's cheek with her sword. Shangguan Linghu ignored the small wound on her face.

She had been hiding her strength, but now that Shangguan Linghu was forced to fight Shangguan Ningxue, she realized that there was indeed a gap between the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages.

Shangguan Ningxue's sword skills were not yet at a high level.

With the added advantage of her Nascent Soul cultivation, she was always able to strike first than Shangguan Linghu.

Shangguan Linghu was somewhat overwhelmed by Shangguan Ningxue's pressure. She took a few breaths, and even her breathing became heavy.

Shangguan Linghu's gaze swept over Shangguan Ningxue, who casually wiped the blood from her face:

"Shangguan Ningxue, let's not even talk about how many resources the Shangguan family has given you. You still haven't defeated me. I think it would be better to feed these resources to the dogs than to give them to you."

"It's been years, and you're still as sharp-tongued as ever! Well then, let me show you the real difference between us!"

In the Shangguan family, cultivators throughout the generations have inherited the fire spirit root. Those with better talent have a single fire spirit root, which is of course a top-grade single spirit root, while those with less talent have a dual spirit root.

Both Shangguan Linghu and Shangguan Ningxue have a single fire-type spiritual root.

Shangguan Ningxue wielded her sword, and sparks gradually condensed on the blade, followed by embers.

The fire intensified and eventually transformed into a fluid, resembling a liquid like magma.

Shangguan Ningxue charged from Shangguan Linghu in the Great Dynasty, and with each swing of her sword, lava would flow from the blade.

Shangguan Linghu dodged in time and was not injured by Shangguan Ningxue, but when the crimson liquid flowed onto the ground, it burned a hole in the withered leaves as soon as it came into contact with them.

Looking at Xu Ye, the cultivator assisting Shangguan Ningxue, Shangguan Linghu knew she couldn't defeat the two of them, so she decided to continue her escape.

Xu Ye noticed Shangguan Linghu's movements, and with his hands tightly closed, a water shield appeared around Shangguan Linghu.

Huge water shields rose up, blocking Shangguan Linghu's progress and also sealing off her range of movement.

Shangguan Linghu's gaze faltered slightly; the moment her sword touched the water shield, it was bounced back.

The limited situation made Shangguan Linghu realize that she had to break through or she would be eliminated by the two of them.

The Wanjue Academy cultivators outside the screen looked at Shangguan Linghu with anger in their voices:

"Ling Qing and two others beat up Senior Sister Shangguan, and they still called us despicable, even though they themselves are shameless. It makes me so angry."

"Shangguan Ningxue is a Nascent Soul cultivator, I feel that senior sister may be eliminated."

"Sigh, actually, Senior Sister Shangguan is really hardworking. I can run into her almost every time I go to the Trial Tower. She is also one of the few in our academy who has passed the fourth level in the Sword Arena. It's just that her cultivation level has not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage."

"Lingqing Academy and Mingyue Academy target us in every year's Academy Competition. This year, thanks to Jiang He, the number of our academy's participants in the competition increased. I thought we could at least get third place, but I didn't expect... sigh."

Shangguan Linghu had already suffered many injuries, and she no longer thought about leaving. Even if she was eliminated, she would at least drag someone down with her!

Shangguan Linghu pointed her sword at Xu Ye.

After eliminating Xie Xing, Jiang He rushed to Shangguan Linghu's location. She knew that Shangguan Linghu couldn't hold out for long against two opponents, and the others were also on their way.

According to their calculations, they had plenty of time to eliminate Xie Xing before attacking Shangguan Ningxue.

On the way, Jiang He encountered Zhong Hengshan, who had entered the forest to search for someone.

Zhong Hengshan is a typical physical cultivator. His strong muscles, combined with his 2.3-meter height, make him look like a small mountain.

When Zhong Hengshan and Huang Xi arrived with the people from Wanjue Academy, Jiang He was secretly alarmed.

Zhong Hengshan paid no attention to Jiang He and the others' plans. He slammed his fist into the ground, and instantly several cracks appeared around Zhong Hengshan.

Alongside the cracks are protruding soil peaks.

The earthen peak was formed by Zhong Hengshan using earth elemental energy. When he punched it, the ground shook, and everyone was trying to dodge it, making it difficult for them to stand steadily.

Without a word, Zhong Hengshan launched an attack. It was the first time Huang Xi had seen Zhong Hengshan's Nascent Soul level strength, and he found it rather strange. However, since Zhong Hengshan had already made his move, Huang Xi naturally took out his staff and launched an attack on Jiang He and the others.

Jiang He had no intention of confronting Zhong Hengshan, but Zhong Hengshan's side had a large number of people, completely blocking the road.

Jiang He knew that if they delayed any longer, Shangguan Linghu's life would be in danger. She looked at Li Ling and Bai Zhizhou:

"Li Ling, help me!"

Under Zhong Hengshan's attack, Li Ling could only jump up a tree. Upon hearing Jiang He's words, she immediately understood what Jiang He meant.

Li Ling held the hammer, half-hugging the tree.

Knowing that Jiang He was about to leave, Bai Zhizhou immediately set up an array by cutting his wrist.

Formations using spiritual blood as a catalyst are easier to form than those using cinnabar.

Zhong Hengshan didn't expect Jiang He to have an array master on his side, but he didn't take Bai Zhizhou seriously at all.

He waited for Bai Zhizhou to arrive before launching an attack with his fist.

Bai Zhizhou's formation took shape quickly; his index and middle fingers were brought together and pointed upwards.

"Sleepy!"

In an instant, a formation with a white halo appeared, and Zhong Hengshan was blocked, unable to move an inch.

Seeing that her opportunity had come, Jiang He gathered spiritual energy in her hands and leaped into the air.

Jiang He stepped onto the muddy steps beneath her feet and finally stood on Li Ling's hammer.

With a flick of his wrist, Li Ling lifted the hammer and sent Jiang He, who was standing on it, flying out.

Jiang He escaped Zhong Hengshan's encirclement, but stumbled and was scratched by a tree branch when she landed.

Jiang He didn't let her eyes wander for a second; she headed towards her destination, her figure gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

Bai Zhizhou's magic array not only briefly trapped Zhong Hengshan for a second, but also trapped the other cultivators from Lingqing Academy.

After seeing Jiang He off, Li Ling quickly approached a cultivator named Ling Qing.

Then came a hammer blow, and his brains splattered everywhere.

Zhong Liyu, Long Aotian, and the others all understood that this was time that Bai Zhizhou had bought for them. Long Aotian's sword was very fast. By the time Zhong Hengshan could move, he had already taken the head of another Lingqing Academy cultivator.

Zhong Hengshan looked at his dead companions. He didn't care about Jiang He's escape. Instead, he was concerned about Bai Zhizhou, whom he had always ignored.

Zhong Hengshan subconsciously felt that this was somewhat tricky.

The halo dissipated, and the effect of the formation disappeared.

Bai Zhizhou cast a group formation on the Nascent Soul cultivator and several Golden Core cultivators, only to find that his spiritual energy was completely exhausted.

Li Ling stood in front of Bai Zhizhou, still holding the hammer:

"Let me see if your hand-to-hand combat skills are better than my hammer!"

Li Ling's hammer struck Zhong Hengshan's muscle precisely. Zhong Hengshan looked at Li Ling with a cold smile and did not dodge.

The moment the massive hammer collided with the flesh, it did not damage the hard muscles; instead, Li Ling's arm holding the hammer went slightly numb.
