The end of the war flag trembled and emitted a buzzing sound that was particularly clear and loud in the noisy battlefield.
"You …"
Quasi-Saint Lan Mi's eyes widened as he gripped the pole of the war flag with trembling hands. His hands were covered in blood and his face was twisted as he tried to pull the war flag out.
However, no matter how hard he tried and how much power he exerted as a Quasi-Saint, the war flag remained stuck in his chest like a sea-stabilizing needle.
His mighty Quasi-Saint strength was completely useless. He was like a tiny floating insect trying to shake the Mountain of the Ancient Gods.
Everyone stared in shock at Quasi-Saint Lan Mi, who was nailed to the wall of the tall building. A Quasi-Saint was actually nailed to the wall like this.
Quasi-Saint Lan Mi had just been wantonly slaughtering people in the city. Several Venerables of the Warspear Academy had died at his hands and the Great Sovereign of the Fire Sect had been severely injured by a single palm strike.
However, the insolent Quasi-Saint Lan Mi was now nailed to the wall, unable to move. He was in an extremely miserable state.
Quasi-Saint Lan Mi clutched the war flag with both hands as his eyes widened in anger. Gurgling sounds came from his mouth and his eyes were filled with terror, as if he had encountered the most terrifying thing in his life.
"No … no …"
"Save … save me …"
Quasi-Saint Lan Mi's eyes were filled with panic. He was horrified to find that his life force was rapidly draining away. A terrifying murderous aura drilled into his body, constantly cutting off his life force and wildly invading his body.
Even with his Quasi-Saint cultivation and physique, he had no way of resisting this strange murderous aura. He could only watch as his life force was constantly being cut away.
Despair. He had never felt so helpless and hopeless before.
In a daze, he felt as if he was not a Quasi-Saint who ruled over the world, but an ordinary citizen of Battle Spear City. He only felt deep despair and helplessness, unable to do anything at all.
"Ah!
I can't accept this … "
Quasi-Saint Lan Mi howled at the sky, his hair disheveled. An unreconciled will broke out of his body and shot straight into the Nine Heavens.
He was a dignified Quasi-Sage, an existence second only to a Saint. How difficult was it for him to reach this step? How many difficulties did he have to go through to finally reach the Quasi-Sage stage? He had sacrificed too much.
He originally thought that he was already the ruler of the world, and from then on, he would be free and unfettered in the world, doing as he pleased. He no longer had to worry about anything, and he could do whatever he wanted. Even if he acted recklessly, no one would dare to stop him.
However, reality was cruel. A Demi-Saint was nailed to the wall and died in humiliation.
However, no matter how unwilling and humiliated Quasi-Sage Lan Mi was, Sanguine Warflag didn't care at all. Instead, Sanguine Warflag released an endless amount of killing intent to sever Quasi-Sage Lan Mi's vitality.
Sage-to-be Lan Mi tried his best to widen his eyes and stare at the Sacred Mountain from which Blood-red Warflag had flown out, as if he wanted to see who had nailed him to the wall.
However, he only saw a hazy and graceful figure walk out from the sea of clouds, and he didn't even have the time to see her appearance clearly before she was completely dead and devoid of vitality.
The entire Battle Spear City was extremely quiet. Everyone looked at the quasi-saint who was nailed to the wall, and an indescribable feeling of horror shrouded their hearts.
A Demi-Saint of a generation had died just like that!
He had died so easily, and he didn't even know how he died.
Since the beginning of the Dark War, Quasi-Sage Lan Mi was the only Demi-Saint to die.
No matter how intense the battle was, no Demi-Saint had fallen.
This was because Demi-Saints were already half a step into the Divine Path, and were no longer Venerables. It was extremely difficult to kill a Demi-Saint.
Other things aside, a Demi-Saint's physique was already half a Demi-Saint.
A Demi-Saint's physique contained the power of the laws of heaven and earth, and was no longer an ordinary living creature of flesh and blood. Even if it was damaged, it would be able to recover in an instant. Even if it was severed, it would be able to regrow its limbs, and even a severed head could be reattached. Its vitality was incomparably strong.
Therefore, it was easy to kill a Great Sage, but difficult to kill a Demi-Saint. Even if a Demi-Saint's heart was dug out, he might not die.
Only by destroying all the vitality in a Demi-Saint's body could one completely kill a Demi-Saint.
In the sky, the four Great Sages were slightly surprised and looked in the direction of the Central Sacred Mountain.
In the Cloud Mountain County, all the Demi-Saint forces in Xiling Country were extremely shocked and looked at the Central Sacred Mountain with fear.
There was actually a peerless existence in the Warspear Academy who could kill a Demi-Saint with one strike.
Who was it!?
A legendary Great Sage!?
Only a Great Sage would have such terrifying power!
All the Demi-Saint forces in Xiling Country kept quiet out of fear. Even the royal family and Di Shi's family members were agitated.
If there was a peerless existence in the Warspear Academy who could kill a Demi-Saint with one strike, wouldn't that mean that it would be easy to kill the Demi-Saints in their families?
It was simply too terrifying when they thought about it.
Moreover, with such a terrifying existence in the Warspear Academy, it was very likely that they would be able to survive the current dark turmoil.
When that time came, how would they answer to the Warspear Academy?
Everyone looked at the Central Sacred Mountain. Everyone wanted to know who the peerless existence who could kill a Demi-Saint with one strike was.
...
A hazy and beautiful figure slowly walked out from the clouds of the Sacred Mountain. Her body exuded an incomparably vast aura. She seemed to be the center of the entire world. Wherever she was, the essence qi of heaven and earth would automatically gather towards her. Streams of essence qi of heaven and earth circled around her like tornadoes.
"Principal!"
"Principal!"
...
Exclamations sounded in the city one after another. The founding elders and elders of the Warspear Academy all had tears in their eyes. Their eyes were red and their emotions were somewhat out of control.
No one expected that the person who could kill a Demi-Saint with one strike would be the young principal of the Warspear Academy, the most beautiful woman in Battle Spear City.
Most of the soldiers of the Warspear Academy knelt on one knee and placed their right hand over their heart. They saluted Gu Qingyan with the most sacred and solemn military salute.
They didn't care even in the midst of war because that was their belief.
In the hearts of all the members and soldiers of the Warspear Academy, the principal was their highest spiritual leader.
The cultivators and residents of Battle Spear City all looked at the peerless figure in the sky with excitement in their eyes.
The principal of the Warspear Academy wasn't just a title. It was also a symbol.
It represented the highest spiritual power in the entire Battle Spear City!
She was the lord in the hearts of everyone in Battle Spear City, the true master who ruled over the land of Battle Spear City.
Any principal of the Warspear Academy would have to hold a sacred and solemn coronation ceremony when they took office, just like the emperor of a country.
Gu Qingyan's appearance was like a shot of adrenaline. Everyone instantly became much more excited.
