Lin Han looked at Xu Nian not far away with a mocking smile, his gaze carrying a playful coldness.

    Coming across Xu Nian at the same place was a bit of a surprise for him, but it was more of a delight.

    Previously, when Xu Nian was at the entrance of Jade Cave Heaven, he had provoked Lin Han. Now was the perfect opportunity to take revenge.

    "Are you leaving on your own, or do I need to make a move?" Lin Han said, looking at Xu Nian with a cold smile, his gaze lofty and filled with scorn.

    The spectators at the scene heard this and also showed expressions of surprise.

    It seemed just as they had guessed, Lin Han was planning to directly eliminate Xu Nian.

    For a moment, everyone''s look towards Xu Nian turned to one of sympathy and pity. Although Xu Nian had previously defeated Qin Yuanshan of the Nine-star War Sect, many people could tell that Xu Nian had borrowed some external power.

    Such power usually wouldn''t last long, and was likely a one-off; if it were about true strength, Xu Nian, who ranked tenth on the Azure Dragon List, still had quite a gap compared to Lin Han, who was second on the list.

    "So you''re certain you can defeat me?" Xu Nian responded coldly.

    Although he knew he was likely not a match for Lin Han, Lin Han''s arrogant attitude still infuriated him.

    Xu Nian had never been one to back down. Since Lin Han intended to confront him head-on, he would let Lin Han know that even if Lin Han tried to bite him to death, he would break all his teeth.

    "Looks like you don''t plan to leave on your own? That''s fine by me; it spares me the feeling of being unfulfilled. You dared to insult me before entering Jade Cave Heaven, now I''ll let you know that I, Lin Han, am not someone you can afford to provoke."

    As Lin Han said the last word, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

    His figure burst forth in a flash, swinging his fist towards Xu Nian in an attempt to crush him.

    The Fist Wind was swift and fierce like a tiger, with terrifying Gang Qi aimed directly at Xu Nian''s chest.

    He had always been a person who was ruthless and decisive. Since he was dealing with Xu Nian, he would absolutely not give Xu Nian any chance to breathe. Declarations of victory could wait until he had Xu Nian underfoot.

    Xu Nian was also surprised, not expecting Lin Han to strike so decisively.

    Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately channeled the Divine Demon Gang Qi within him. Nether Dragon Qi and Blood Dragon Qi were both activated, one infused within the Gang Qi and the other condensing into a Dragon Scale Fist, boldly meeting Lin Han''s punch.

    "Boom!"

    The final three swords were: Wind Song, Wind Roar, Wind Shaking Heaven.

    After the modifications by the Yetian Divine Emperor, each sword contained infinite profundity and could exert tremendous power.

    In battles against different foes, different techniques could also have unexpected effects.

    "Clang!"

    Lin Han''s fist and Xu Nian''s Xuan Iron Sword clashed fiercely, emitting an extreme tremor.

    This time, Lin Han was actually forced back ten steps by that strike, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

    He had used seventy percent of his strength in that punch but hadn''t expected not only to fail to defeat Xu Nian but to be pushed back even more.

    The audience in the arena was also dumbstruck, as Xu Nian blocked Lin Han''s attack once again.

    Of course, it wasn''t easy for Xu Nian either; the terrible recoil from the sword made the corner of his mouth bleed.

    But at this moment, he couldn''t care about that and quickly fled towards the distance, propelled by the rebound.

    Nonsense, if he didn''t escape now, he was really waiting to be eliminated by Lin Han.

    Being embarrassed was one thing, but if he lost not only the qualification to participate in the Academy''s grand competition but also the opportunity to contend for the Golden Crow Fruit, Xu Nian wouldn''t have been that foolish.

    Among all the stratagems, fleeing was the best tactic.

    However, he, Xu Nian, noted this grudge today, and next time they met, he would definitely seek his revenge tenfold or a hundredfold.

    But how could Lin Han possibly let Xu Nian escape so easily? If he did, how could he still have the face to mix in the Academy?

    "Thinking of escaping? In your dreams!" Lin Han roared, and his figure burst forth crazily, each step he took leaving deep pits in the ground.

    This Jade Cave Heaven was not a flat plain; it was no different from the Demon Beast Forest, overgrown with weeds and full of rugged rocks.

    Thus Xu Nian and Lin Han began to chase each other through this primal forest, one after the other.

    On the elevated platform in the outside plaza, the Academy Elders and Leng Yanran and others watched the scene, all frowning deeply.

    Because at this moment, the direction Xu Nian was escaping toward was the most dangerous place in Jade Cave Heaven: Life-breaking Cliff!
