"Control" flashed and disappeared, imprinting itself upon Yao Liang's body.

The next moment.

Yao Liang stopped struggling and stood still like a puppet, moving only his mouth as if speaking, but Duge could hear nothing due to the mute effect.

"Junior Brother, what should we do?" Li Anjiang asked.

"Damn it, at this point, of course, we must prioritize saving lives."

With a thought, Duge's spiritual power already enveloped his flying sword, bringing forth a white light that slashed toward Dan Cong's courtyard.

At the Golden Core Realm, one could remotely control a flying sword to kill, and with the heightened sensitivity to spiritual energy possessed by those in the Divinity Transformation Realm, controlling the flying sword over long distances to kill was as natural as a fish in water, even more flexible than wielding a sword in hand.

Earlier, Yao Liang had personally gone to kill due to his concern over the Supervisory Academy in the Capital City.

But now that Dan Cong had displayed exceptional skills, what did Duge care?

If you have a sniper rifle, why bother going over there with a machete to hack at you?

He was curious to see just how powerful the words written by Dan Cong could be.

In an instant.

Duge's flying sword struck Dan Cong's courtyard wall like a cannonball.

Then the Longsword danced.

In a blink, the wall was demolished to rubble, exposing everything in the courtyard to Duge's vision.

Bathed in moonlight, he clearly saw that the courtyard was covered in various sized prohibition characters. Yao Liang had merely stepped on one by accident.

After demolishing the wall.

The flying sword circled and headed for Dan Cong's rooftop.

If Dan Cong's skills worked through characters, then both he and his characters would be buried in the rubble.

Duge no longer cared about the Supervisory Academy, and with a resigned sigh, Li Anjiang followed suit, controlling his flying sword to strike as well, having engaged in battle, they needed to secure a swift victory.

The two flying swords twisted and turned above and below.

The brick and stone buildings, like chunks of tofu, were sliced to pieces...

But when the flying swords hit Dan Cong's study, a "Sturdy" character flashed and disappeared, repelling the flying swords as if they had struck an iron wall, igniting a string of sparks without even chipping a stone.

At that moment.

Dan Cong also looked in the direction of Duge and Li Anjiang, furrowing his brows slightly but making no move.

Clearly, with his ability, he couldn't throw the characters that far.

After a moment's hesitation, he returned to his room, picked up a piece of paper from his desk with the character "Dragon" written on it, and flung it out the window.

Then.

A black dragon burst out from the paper, roaring as it charged straight at Duge and Li Anjiang.

"Dragon."

Li Anjiang's expression changed, and he quickly recalled his flying sword to face the black dragon.

Clang!

The flying sword struck the black dragon's neck, making a sharp sound, but it was deflected to the side, unable to penetrate the black dragon's defenses.

Seeing this, a smirk crossed Dan Cong's lips as he spoke to Yao Liang in the courtyard. Yao Liang turned, wielded his flying sword, and slashed at Duge, assisting the black dragon from the side.

That's badass!

One "Control" character had turned a Divinity Transformation Realm expert into a puppet; writing a "Dragon" character could summon a real dragon...

This guy truly needed no Immortal Sect for his cultivation.

With a bit of luck, he could take control of someone in the Mahayana Stage and instantly ascend to the heavens.

This skill would actually be hindered in a sect.

Duge recalled his flying sword, blocked Yao Liang's flying sword, and shook his head as he faced the descending black dragon, reaching out to meet it directly.

He was least afraid of close combat.

His palm touched the dragon's head for only a moment.

The next moment.

The formerly imposing black dragon had turned into mere ink stains, scattering toward the ground.

Dan Cong's smile stiffened on his face.

Li Anjiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the ink stains in his palm, Duge shook his head; it was just ink, so there should be no problem.

"Sect Head Senior Brother, cover me," Duge called out and then propelled his spiritual power like a black lightning bolt toward Dan Cong's courtyard.

Seeing Duge charging over, Dan Cong became visibly flustered, hastily sticking various characters "Swift," "Strength," "Shield" and so on to himself while also directing Yao Liang to intercept Duge.

But Duge saw through his skills, flying close to the ground with his palm continuously slapping and grabbing, the characters inscribed on the ground were peeled off one by one, turning into clusters of ink stains, losing their function.

Yao Liang's realm was originally lower than Duge's, and his speed was not as fast as Duge's either.

Duge approached him, touched him close, and then grabbed the "control" character imprinted on his body, allowing him to regain consciousness.

Seeing this scene.

Dan Cong was utterly desperate. He looked at Duge and made one final struggle, "Who are you? Don't be impulsive, I'm ranked seventh. If you kill me, you will take my place. Think carefully about this."

Duge paid no attention to him but rather put his hand on the wall of his study. Dan Cong must have inscribed the "solid" character within it, invisible from the outside.

But Duge didn't care, if Plucking Feathers in Passing couldn't pluck the characters, couldn't he still dismantle the house?

Dan Cong's solidity could block flying swords, but not Plucking Feathers in Passing. Bricks and stones were extracted by Duge, one by one, and soon lay scattered on the ground.

Seeing this scene.

Dan Cong became even more panicked: "Brother, we can cooperate. Your ability restrains mine; I can be your subordinate..."

Each warrior on the Alien Battlefield would not miss any chance to stay alive.

Swish!

The flying sword came whistling from outside the courtyard, slashing towards Dan Cong's neck.

Ding.

A crisp sound rang out as the "shield" character flashed, and the flying sword was once again deflected to the side.

Duge multitasked, focusing on dismantling the house with one hand and remotely controlling the flying sword with the other, destroying everything in the room, including the characters he had prepared in advance.

Before those characters were activated, they seemed like mere words on a blank page, easily torn apart by the flying sword.

Seeing this, Dan Cong's face became even whiter as he roared, "It's only been two months! Must you completely annihilate me? I'm a newly appointed scholar. By making such a scene to kill me, can you escape the hunt of the Supervisory Academy?"

As soon as Duge began dismantling the house with the flying sword, cultivators from the Supervisory Academy had already arrived. To attempt an assassination of a newly appointed scholar under their watch was equivalent to riding on their heads and slapping their faces.

He had intended to step forward and stop Duge.

But then, he saw the black dragon released by Dan Cong.

In that instant, the cultivator from the Supervisory Academy was dumbfounded.

Then, without hesitation, he turned and went for reinforcements. Dan Cong's spell also exceeded his understanding of battles among cultivators---and with two from the Divinity Transformation Realm, he was not a match.

Dan Cong had just mentioned the Supervisory Academy.

Suddenly, multiple flying swords shot from the sky toward Duge, who was still dismantling the house, and a booming voice like thunder rolled in from afar, "Which sect's cultivator dares to cause trouble in the Capital City?"

Hearing this voice, Dan Cong was overjoyed and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Newly appointed scholar Dan Cong, I have recently grasped the Literary Heart Divine Skill and am willing to offer this skill to the Supervisory Academy. Please save my life from this vicious assailant."

"Junior brother, it's a Void Refinement Realm master, we better leave!" Li Anjiang's anxious voice transmitted.

"Leave? No one can leave!"

Before the words fell.

A figure had already appeared above Dan Cong's courtyard, hanging in the air like a Demon God. The spiritual energy in the air seemed to be locked down, no longer flowing.

Over ten flying swords shuttled continuously through the air, cutting towards Duge and his companions from all angles, blocking all their escape routes.

Li Anjiang and Yao Liang had originally controlled their flying swords with ease.

But after the appearance of the Void Refinement Realm, their flying swords acted as if delayed, jerky and unresponsive. Out of necessity, they had to hold their flying swords in their own hands, helping Duge to fend off the attack from the Void Refinement Realm supervisory envoy.

With spiritual power locked down, they could only rely on their own stored spiritual power to fight, and inevitably, they suffered from lapses in defense. In no time, several wounds had been cut into their bodies.

And the flying swords of the Void Refinement Realm were of better quality than those of Li Anjiang and the others.

Amidst the clinking and clanking sounds.

The flying swords of Li and Yao soon notched up, and it wouldn't be long before they were likely to be broken.

Li Anjiang and the others were green with regret.

Indeed, it was a person of turbulent times! Before he even grew up, he had caused such a huge calamity for the Medical Immortal Sect. How could they cope when he grew up?

The thought of there being eight more like him drove Li Anjiang to despair. Why is the rise of the medical path so difficult!

With attributes strengthened, Duge's movements were swift, and for a while, the flying swords of the Void Refinement Realm couldn't hurt him. He focused on dismantling the house, and turning his head, he saw that the flying swords of Li Anjiang and Yao Liang were about to break.

Duge tossed two bricks back to them: "Senior brother, use these."

He had been dismantling the house all the while, yet no ink had been drawn out. The removed bricks were still fortified by the "solidity" character, possessing indestructible properties, which were even better than the effect of the flying swords.

As expected.

After switching to bricks, Li and Yao temporarily could fend off the attacks of the Void Refinement Realm flying swords.

Seeing this, the eyes of the Void Refinement Realm supervisory envoy grew even more eager. Dan Cong's divine skills were too powerful, the Supervisory Academy must save him. With him, the Supervisory Academy would no longer have to look at the faces of the major sects.
