Chapter 610: The Grand Melee (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)

Kuang Tianqing watched the battlefield coldly, watching the Corpse Demon army crash against the outer walls of the fortress like a tsunami, only to burst into massive sprays of blood under the enemy's suppression.

She knew that if left unchecked, it would not be long before the enemy completely annihilated the Corpse Demon army.

However, Kuang Tianqing had never expected to breach the fortress with this move alone; for her, it was merely a prelude to cover the main force and sow chaos.

Kuang Tianqing turned to look at another student beside her, Mu Qiansi from the Hehuan University.

"It's your turn."

...

Through the Heaven-Scouring Flying Sword, Wen Wuya watched the Corpse Demons endlessly burrowing out from the deep underground, commanding the flying sword to join the battle and continuously clearing out patches of open ground within the Corpse Demon army.

"There are too many."

But even with Wen Wuya's swift killing speed, she couldn't help but sigh at this moment: "I'm afraid they didn't just use the technology of the Youming University, but also combined it with the breeding techniques of the Hehuan University to create so many Corpse Demons."

At that very next moment, however, Wen Wuya saw explosions and intense fluctuations of magical power erupting from within the fortress.

She immediately asked in the Four Universities group chat: "What happened? Did they break in?"

Someone replied: "It's the Love Threads! Someone has been controlled by the Love Threads!"

"They're looking for people everywhere to engage in dual cultivation!"

...

Beneath the cloudy mist in the sky, watching the chaos unfolding inside the fortress, Kuang Tianqing smiled faintly.

In fact, over the past three days, the number of people she could have captured was far more than just those few; however, rather than simply taking prisoners, she chose to join forces with Mu Qiansi to inject Love Threads into the enemy during combat.

These Love Threads originated from the military-grade technique, "The Great Ode to the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth," which could secretly leave a backdoor in a person's sea of consciousness without them noticing, temporarily stripping away an opponent's sanity when needed and igniting the most primal desires in their heart.

"It seems this tactic has been quite successful."

"They lack strong experts in the path of dual cultivation, so no one can detect the Love Threads injected by the Great Ode to the Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth."

With a flash of judgment regarding the situation crossing her mind, Kuang Tianqing said coldly, "It's time for us to make our entrance."

"Everyone, fight with your lives on the line."

"After we win this battle, we will hold a Dual Cultivation Assembly; anyone in the Four Universities Alliance can come and engage in dual cultivation with whomever they please, and I will participate as well..."

At the next moment, Kuang Tianqing led a host of experts from the Four Heavenly Demon Universities, launching a concerted assault on the fortress.

And Kuang Tianqing, the foremost among the four universities, took the lead, piercing forward like an incomparably sharp drill, the very first to crash into the outer armor of the prison.

Di Lianzhong, the top student of the White Bone University, opened his mouth and exhaled, sending a surge of five-colored mist gushing out, which in the blink of an eye corroded the prison's outer armor.

Kuang Tianqing pressed forward without a moment's pause, the three behind her following closely as if they were her personal guards, shielding her from any attacks from the rear or flanks.

Boom!

Accompanied by a violent burst of qi and blood, after severely wounding a student with a single strike, Kuang Tianqing's speed did not diminish in the slightest; she continued to shatter several defense towers and over a dozen layers of armor before her, charging wildly through the prison like a giant dragon.

"Zhang Yu..." A ferocious smile touched the corners of Kuang Tianqing's mouth: "Let me see where you're hiding."

...

Countless surveillance images surfaced in Zhang Yu's ocular bones, revealing that the entire interior and exterior of the prison had descended into utter chaos.

Especially in the path of Kuang Tianqing and her three companions, there was not a single enemy who could withstand a single exchange, as they swept back and forth as if entering an undefended land.

However, Zhang Yu could also see that experts like Dao Qiankun were already closing in on them from different directions...

At the next moment, Zhang Yu's ocular bones twitched slightly as the surveillance footage began to blur, flickering on and off as if the signal would sever at any second.

At the same time, Zhang Yu could feel the Spirit Realm on the verge of boiling over, with at least over fifty forces vying for informational control over the Spirit Realm and the formation.

Various Spirit Realm techniques were deployed, churning the Spirit Realm inside and outside the fortress into a cauldron of boiling water.

Zhang Yu, however, had long anticipated this: "In a melee like this, no one can gain absolute dominance in the Spirit Realm, not even me with the formation's enhancement."

Precisely because of this, Zhang Yu hadn't bothered to invest much effort into enhancing the formation's communication bonuses, instead dedicating his energy, time, and resources to other aspects.

Just then, he felt the earth tremble as two earth-shaking fluctuations of magical power collided.

"It's Kuang Tianqing and Dao Qiankun... they've made their move."

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened: "Then my hunt must begin as well."

...

Amidst a deafening roar, Kuang Tianqing's figure abruptly flew backward, while the other three top experts engaged other students at a nearby location.

Watching Dao Qiankun close in, Kuang Tianqing chuckled lightly: "Brother Dao, are you really that eager to enjoy some pleasure with me?"

Dao Qiankun said coldly, "Stop pretending."

"The intelligence on your Heavenly Demon Illusory Body Technique was leaked in advance; your illusions won't affect me."

Kuang Tianqing merely gave a soft laugh, her figure flashing as she engaged Dao Qiankun in a mobile battle within the prison.

At the same time, a Heavenly Demon Banner rose behind her, stirring up a tempest in the Spirit Realm wherever it passed, tearing apart all sorts of special effects and projections into fragments.

And through this Heavenly Demon Banner connecting to the Spirit Realm, Kuang Tianqing's consciousness constantly linked with her many teammates, rapidly mastering the internal terrain of the entire prison.

She thought to herself, "Without absolute Spirit Realm technology to take the lead, what's the use of building such a massive cage? It only makes it more convenient for Dao Qiankun and me to fight on the move."

After another fierce clash, Dao Qiankun shouted, "Kuang Tianqing, how long are you going to keep running?"

Kuang Tianqing chuckled lightly, "Dao Qiankun, you are not my prey this time." Dao Qiankun said coldly, "You're going to release prisoners and capture people right in front of my eyes?"

Kuang Tianqing: "Is that not allowed?"

Dao Qiankun snorted coldly: "Then you're underestimating me far too much, and overestimating yourself far too much."

As he spoke, Dao Qiankun transformed into a bolt of thunder, piercing directly through the sky and through Kuang Tianqing's position.

Kuang Tianqing's figure exploded with a boom, dissolving into hundreds of blood shadows that scattered and fled in all directions.

At the same time, her laughter echoed continuously from all directions.

"Truly formidable thunder magic."

"Pity it can't harm me."

"If you want to stop me, catch me first."

Dao Qiankun said nothing, merely transforming into thunder, instantly evaporating over two hundred blood shadows before tracking the remaining ones.

And as the two sides fought and retreated, the experts from the Heavenly Sword, Youming, Xianbing, White Bone... and other universities took turns making their moves, some trying to intercept Kuang Tianqing, some trying to support her, and some trying to stop others from supporting or intercepting, until the entire battlefield was churned into a chaotic mess.

But right in the midst of this chaotic battlefield, Kuang Tianqing grew increasingly in her element.

"Yan Xiang, block the way ahead."

Yan Xiang, the top student of Youming University, looked at the location marked by Kuang Tianqing, his brows slightly furrowed as he thought, "Hmph, you want me to block this move from Zangshen Prison? In that case, I'll have to use the backup body."

"Just how much of our hidden cards does this Kuang Tianqing know?"

"Forget it, this live broadcast must have quite a few viewers, so let's show it off."

Just as the fierce battle on this side ended, Di Lianzhong of the White Bone University on the other side also received Kuang Tianqing's instructions.

"Healing?"

Watching Kuang Tianqing detonate his five fingers with the Disintegration Method of the Netherworld University to force Dao Qiankun back before shooting toward him like lightning, the top student of White Bone University thought to himself, "Tch, I'm still busy fighting Yan Qianji."

"To heal her under these circumstances, is this guy making me use that move?"

"Then let's just broadcast it."

The next moment, accompanied by the projection of a hospital advertisement, all of Kuang Tianqing's physical wounds were healed in the blink of an eye through a method of hyper-accelerated regeneration.

And the more Dao Qiankun pursued, the more he realized how adept Kuang Tianqing was at fishing in troubled waters, and how skilled he was at skirmishing amidst such a chaotic battlefield.

All the chaos seemed to have transformed into crashing waves, propelling his opponent ever forward.

"Compared to the head-on battles of the past two days, this guy is far more suited to this kind of grand melee."

"However, the place you're looking for is a dead end."

"A wrong target seals your defeat."

Watching Kuang Tianqing step into the deepest part of the prison, arriving at the location where six prisoners were held, Dao Qiankun shattered the only exit with a single palm strike and slowly walked toward him.

"Kuang Tianqing, this is the battlefield I have prepared for you..."

A confined space, no exits, walls reinforced multiple times, impossible to escape in a short time... in Dao Qiankun's eyes, this was the perfect arena for his duel with Kuang Tianqing.

Here, he could launch a full-coverage, inescapable area attack across the entire battlefield, leaving Kuang Tianqing with no choice but to fight him head-on.

As for the prisoners held here, they were naturally all fake dummies, bait used to lure the opponent.

But the Kuang Tianqing before him merely gave a light chuckle, looking at Dao Qiankun and saying, "Dao Qiankun."

"You've miscalculated by at least two steps."

"Did you think I only fight alone?"

"But let me tell you something that will drive you to despair: compared to some one-on-one ring duel... I am far more adept at melee combat."

After a brief exchange, Dao Qiankun watched Kuang Tianqing dissipate like a phantom. His gaze hardened as he thought to himself, "What's going on? I haven't inhaled any external spiritual energy, so when exactly did I fall for the Heavenly Demon Phantom Technique?"

"This guy... he's calculated everyone, turning the entire battlefield into his stage."

While continuously launching attacks to blast open the exit again, Dao Qiankun sent a message to the four-school group chat about Kuang Tianqing's disappearance.

"We must find him quickly."

"Where on earth did he go?"

...

Before the gates of the true dungeon where the prisoners were held.

As he walked, Kuang Tianqing raised an eyebrow in curiosity, "Oh? You're not going to run?"

Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "I waited so long for this chance, why would I run?"

"A chance..." Kuang Tianqing smiled faintly and said, "Immortal dregs, perhaps to you, the upcoming battle is the most important thing today. In your eyes, I am your everything, your all."

"But to me, you are merely one of the countless opponents I have defeated today."

"Just a fleeting moment on this battlefield."
