Chapter 610 Horizontal and Vertical Shield

Upon hearing Ye Ru's provocation, Li Hesheng nodded, a gloomy look appearing on his face. Then, he stomped his foot, and a dense aura of talent began to spread outwards.

This talent is very special; it is entirely blue and gives people a cold and gloomy feeling.

Ye Ru's gaze turned serious as he stared intently at Li Hesheng, sensing the anger emanating from the latter.

This anger was actually transformed into his own talent.

"I'll let you know that today, I will personally end your reign as the top scholar!"

His words were filled with anger. Li Hesheng narrowed his eyes and gradually conjured a long sword in his hand. Then, he moved and hurled it at Ye Ru.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ru's pupils shrank. It seemed that the previous battle had not brought out the full strength of the opponent, but now, perhaps, this was the opponent's full strength!

"Then let's give it a try."

Then, a mocking smile appeared on Ye Ru's lips. The next moment, he also stomped his foot, and the Emperor-Slaying Blade appeared in his hand. Then he thrust it fiercely in a certain direction.

Ding! when!

The tips of the two longswords clashed precisely at the same time, and a storm of talent energy immediately spread outwards, causing many scholars to retreat dozens of steps, their faces filled with extreme horror.

Now they realized that they had misunderstood Ye Ru.

Many people looked ashamed.

"Humph."

The Left Prime Minister sneered, then waved his sleeve, watching the two fighting without changing his expression, before picking up his wine cup and drinking.

In his view, no matter how strong the opponent was, they could not break through his mastery of the art of strategy.

This art of strategic maneuvering, learned from the School of Diplomacy, allows one to use their talent to create a shield of vertical and horizontal lines around them for defense.

Once the talent entered the protective shield, it was directly absorbed by it, without any sign of the talent dissipating.

This scene caused Wen Xiang to frown slightly, his face showing some solemnity. It seemed that over the years, the other party had not relaxed his comprehension of the Holy Path, and his understanding of the School of Diplomacy had reached such a pinnacle.

This is absolutely horrifying.

Then Wen Xiang and Wu Xiang exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of caution in each other's eyes.

In the arena, Ye Ru and Li Hesheng each unleashed their full power, and dazzling bursts of talent resounded in the sky, sweeping across the surroundings and broadening the horizons of the scholars present.

"In your current state, you are no match for me at all. You should just admit defeat."

Li Hesheng's sword was like a poisonous dragon, stabbing towards various parts of Ye Ru. Along its path, the sound of air exploding echoed everywhere.

"Heh, with your meager talent, you think you can rise to the top and become a phoenix? That's just wishful thinking."

With a mocking smile, Ye Ru stomped his foot hard and retreated rapidly. Then, he waved his hand, and a force of wind and thunder appeared in his hand.

This force of wind and thunder carried a fierce power, and was finally hurled away by Ye Ru.

boom!

The power of wind and thunder caused Li Hesheng's pupils to shrink instantly, his longsword in his hand to pause, and he began to chant incantations.

As he read the poem aloud, the longsword suddenly released countless dazzling sword energies, which swept outwards and then transformed into a giant longsword, the tip of which pierced the power of wind and thunder.

However, the expected energy explosion did not occur. Instead, the two collided and began to devour each other from the point of contact, causing many people to gasp in surprise.

The power required for this mutually devouring phenomenon is enough to create an energy black hole.

"These two forces are simply too domineering."

"Indeed, he truly deserves to be called the number one scholar in the land. It seems that Li Hesheng is also going to be defeated."

"I really misunderstood Chief Ye before. It turns out that his target was not Li Hesheng, but the mastermind behind Li Hesheng."

"Yes, I wronged Chief Ye earlier. I must punish myself with three cups of wine later. If Chief Ye doesn't forgive me, I will... I will..."

"Haha, what are you going to do, kneel there forever?"

Many people were discussing it, their faces showing deep regret.

To everyone's astonishment, the two forces began to devour each other deeply. However, although Li Hesheng's sword energy was very powerful, it was only able to withstand the wind and thunder power for a moment before being devoured by it with unstoppable force. Finally, the wind and thunder power slammed into Li Hesheng's body, and his face turned pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his face became extremely ugly.

That wasn't enough. After defeating Li Hesheng, Ye Ru not only didn't stop, but instead launched another attack at the latter.

As Li Hesheng watched Ye Ru's figure grow larger and larger in his pupils, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He opened his palm, and a circular shield appeared in front of him.

This circular shield is exactly the same as the Horizontal and Vertical Shield used by the Left Prime Minister.

"This guy is actually a member of the School of Diplomacy. No wonder the Left Prime Minister was able to find him so easily."

Looking at the crisscrossing shield, Wen Xiang felt a sense of relief. He then took a deep breath and said.

"I never expected that the School of Diplomacy would have such a genius. They probably kept it hidden before because they wanted to learn from Ye Ru today."

Chen Tianjian sneered. Although he had succeeded in challenging Chen Tianjian, he was now facing defeat. Wasn't this a case of shooting himself in the foot?

Ye Ru's Emperor-Slaying Blade touched the Shield of Vertical and Horizontal Lines. The powerful recoil caused his wings to flap, and he finally took off into the air. Now he understood that the other party was indeed related to the Left Prime Minister. In fact, the Left Prime Minister had personally planned to make him lose his reputation today.

Unfortunately, although the opponent was powerful, he was not someone to be trifled with. At least, the opponent did not have the ability to defeat him.

"You have really angered me."

Li Hesheng was enveloped in the Shield of Diplomacy, his face carrying a chilling expression. As a member of the School of Diplomacy, he never expected to suffer such a humiliating disgrace here.

The next moment, he stomped his foot, and the blue aura around him intensified, completely enveloping him like a tortoise shell.

At the same time, his strength was gradually increasing, and in the end, his talent was much stronger than that of an ordinary scholar.

"This is!"

Seeing this, countless people widened their eyes. Wasn't this guy just promoted to the rank of Juren? How could he be so powerful?

"Could it be that this guy was already qualified to take the imperial examination, but deliberately didn't take it because of this day, in order to accumulate his strength? No way."

Chen Tianjian looked at Wen Xiang, his lips moved slightly, and he spoke slowly.

"That is indeed possible. If that's the case, Ye Ru's battle might be a bit difficult."

Wen Xiang licked his lips and guessed.

"That guy is despicable."

Chen Tianjian clenched his fist, then looked at the Left Prime Minister and murmured.

They are now almost certain that this was all orchestrated by the Left Prime Minister.

The Left Prime Minister remained expressionless, as if victory was assured. He knew that the situation would be exposed, but it was too late. Apart from the Civil and Military Prime Ministers who knew that the other side was using the tactics of the School of Diplomacy, the other scholars were probably completely unaware.

Talent swept through the air, and Li Hesheng's hair turned blue. His fingernails grew rapidly, like those of a wild wolf, until they finally crawled to the ground. His eyes were like those of a wild beast, as if he wanted to devour someone.

"This guy……"

Seeing this, Ye Ru swallowed hard, his face becoming extremely solemn. It seemed the other party was about to fight him to the death.

"Ye Ru, I don't know how you'll deal with my beast form. This was specially prepared for you."

Li Hesheng's voice was hoarse, cold, and resonant.

"Really? You're not the only one with this form..."

Hearing the other party's arrogant laughter, Ye Ru's lips curled into a mocking smile. Scales began to climb up his skin, eventually covering him completely. At the same time, a slightly chilling voice, accompanied by a powerful dragon force, resounded throughout the world, causing the Left Prime Minister's hand, which was holding a teacup, to suddenly stop. Finally, with a crack, the teacup shattered completely.

"I have it too!"
