"Brat, prepare to die!" "Give me your life!" The two men, one on each side, clenched their right hands into fists and unleashed all their energy, launching a frenzied attack on Lu Tianyu.

A cold smile lingered on the corner of Lu Tianyu's mouth. As the two men approached within three meters of him, he immediately let his right hand drop, bending it into an axe shape. Without hesitation, he fiercely slashed horizontally at their legs.

"Whoosh!" A faint giant axe shadow suddenly shot out, instantly tearing through the air and slicing through the thighs of the two men at the knee level. In the end, the giant axe shadow formed a perfect circle in the air, completing its mission, and gradually dissipated into wisps of yellow gas, vanishing into the air.

"Thud!" The two men continued to surge forward, but because the giant axe shadow was too fast, they didn't realize they had lost their legs. In the next moment, their upper bodies suddenly lunged forward, unable to maintain balance, and they both fell heavily to the ground. Behind them, their legs still stood, but after a gentle breeze swept by, the four severed legs immediately followed their owners, landing with a series of thuds.

Peerless among equals.

With just one decisive move, Lu Tianyu had severed the legs of two equally powerful opponents. This scene immediately made the white-robed man, who was screaming in agony, open his eyes wide in shock, unable to believe what he saw. For a moment, he forgot to scream due to the overwhelming shock.

Earlier, the white-robed man had not seen clearly how Lu Tianyu had cut off three of his limbs. Now, as a spectator, he finally saw everything clearly, and fear and regret immediately flooded his heart like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming him.

It was all his fault, blinded by greed and lured by the Wang family's generous reward, he had agreed to help in the ambush to kill Lu Tianyu. Now, he had met this fate, and it was entirely his own doing, with no one else to blame.

"Swish, swish!" At this moment, Lu Tianyu moved his body twice, immediately releasing several strands of battle qi to seal the major acupoints of the two men who had lost their legs, to prevent them from being unable to endure the soul torment and dying from a burst heart.

"Ah, ah!" After their acupoints were sealed, the two men felt a heart-wrenching pain surge from their knees, even their souls trembling as if enduring the suffering of reincarnation.

"Brat, if you have the guts, kill me! Kill me, damn it!" The yellow-robed youth, unable to bear the torment, immediately began to scream wildly.

Lu Tianyu just stood quietly to the side, coldly staring at the three men on the ground.

Time quietly passed, and every minute, every second, the three men had to endure endless soul torment. The more resolute their will, the harder it was for them to die, and the more intense their pain.

The white-robed man was like this. As a genius in his family, he had participated in countless trials and endured much hardship, making his will exceptionally strong. He could not die easily.

As the soul torment continued, the three men's fear of Lu Tianyu grew deeper. In their eyes, Lu Tianyu was no longer a person but a demon from hell. Whenever they heard his name in the future, they would break out in a cold sweat, and at night, they would wake up from nightmares in terror.

At the same time, their sense of regret grew stronger. It was all their fault, blinded by greed, leading to their current fate.

"Sir... Sir, please, kill me... I can't take it anymore!" As the pain intensified, the yellow-robed youth finally could not bear it and weakly begged Lu Tianyu.

"Grandpa... Grandpa, can I call you grandpa? Please, grandpa, kill me... kill me..." Seeing that Lu Tianyu remained unmoved, the yellow-robed youth immediately despaired and screamed loudly. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly tilted his head and died from the pain, his body instantly turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing.

Ordinary people, if their will is not strong enough, will be scared to death when they see something extremely terrifying. Similarly, such people will find it hard to endure great pain and will die from the pain.

The yellow-robed youth was such a person. As a genius from a medium-sized family, he had never experienced much hardship and grew up smoothly, unable to bear such pain, leading to his death from the torment.

"Swish!" As the yellow-robed youth's soul died, a faint yellow mist immediately drifted out from the scroll of life and death floating above Li Xiao's forehead, swiftly entering the yellow-robed youth's forehead, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Ah!" The yellow-robed youth could not help but open his mouth and spew out a mouthful of blood, his body trembling violently, almost falling to the ground.

At the same time, the energy aura emanating from the yellow-robed youth suddenly weakened significantly, and his cultivation instantly dropped from the middle stage of a Battle Master to the early stage.

The yellow-robed youth barely stabilized his body, opened his eyes, and looked around. He realized that he was the first to have his soul die and be expelled from the realm of life and death. Feeling ashamed, he struggled to get up from the ground and slowly walked towards the entrance of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

Dying in the realm of life and death meant failing the third test. He had no face to stay here any longer.

At the same time, the yellow-robed youth was still filled with intense fear. He dared not face Lu Tianyu alone again, which was one of the main reasons he chose to leave immediately.

"Swish, swish!" As time passed, more and more souls died in the realm of life and death, turning into wisps of smoke and being expelled, entering their respective physical bodies.

Their reactions were similar to the yellow-robed youth's. All of them trembled violently, and their cultivation instantly dropped by one level.

Among these dead souls, some were killed by powerful beasts in the realm of life and death, while others were killed by other disciples participating in the competition.

With less than a quarter of an hour left, out of the fifty disciples participating in the third test, only twenty remained, their eyes still tightly closed, showing no reaction. Of course, except for Lu Tianyu, whose physical body was still in the realm of life and death.

The white-robed disciple, who was leading the group, was extremely tense, staring intently at the realm of life and death above Li Xiao's head, fearing that a corpse would suddenly fly out, indicating that Lu Tianyu inside had been harmed.

The white-robed disciple had gone to find Zhan Longxing, but unfortunately, Zhan Longxing was drunk and snoring, unconscious. Therefore, the white-robed disciple had no choice but to return and anxiously watch the situation, silently praying that nothing would happen to Lu Tianyu inside.

Lu Tianyu was still standing in the internal space of the realm of life and death, on a clearing in the forest. At his feet, only the white-robed youth remained, weakly moaning in pain. The other two had already died from the torment, turning into gas and disappearing.

"Brat, prepare to die!" At this moment, an infinitely fierce voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Hearing this, Lu Tianyu immediately clenched his right fist and, without hesitation, swung it back, fiercely striking behind him.

"Bang, bang!" With two loud thuds, Lu Tianyu and Wang Aotian, who had attacked from behind, both flew out like scarecrows and fell heavily to the ground.

Without hesitation, both of them sprang up from the ground, turned their heads, and glared at each other.

"Brat, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so prepared!" Wang Aotian's face showed a hint of concealed shock as he said with hatred.

In fact, Wang Aotian had secretly come to this place earlier but had hidden his aura and stayed behind the giant tree behind Lu Tianyu, planning to take advantage of Lu Tianyu's lack of vigilance to launch a surprise attack and kill him. However, he had not expected that as soon as he rushed out, Lu Tianyu immediately reacted, indicating that he was well-prepared.

"I have been waiting for a long time." Lu Tianyu replied calmly.

"Useless thing." Wang Aotian coldly glanced at the white-robed youth lying on the ground, moaning in pain. Although he was extremely shocked, he tried to maintain his composure and coldly scolded, to hide his inner fear.

"Brat, today, either you die or I die. Prepare to die!" Roaring, Wang Aotian decided to take the initiative, charging at Lu Tianyu like an arrow released from a bow.

"Come on!" Seeing this, Lu Tianyu could not help but smile coldly. He moved his body, advancing instead of retreating, and charged forward. This time, he did not plan to use his decisive move but hoped to use the powerful battle qi in his body to counter this formidable enemy.

"Rumble!" The two figures instantly intertwined, and from the outside, it was impossible to distinguish who was who. Only two yellow afterimages could be seen, rising and falling on the clearing, continuously launching powerful yellow battle qi fists at each other.

Lu Tianyu's body was already covered with countless shallow fist marks, and streams of blood gradually stained his robe.

But Wang Aotian was even worse off. His yellow robe was torn in many places, and his entire body was covered with various sizes of wounds. However, as a soul, he did not bleed. If he had been in his physical form, he would have been covered in blood, a sight too gruesome to bear.

Wang Aotian grew more and more alarmed as the battle continued. Although Lu Tianyu was only a middle-stage Battle Master, one level lower than him, the battle qi in his body seemed endless, like a surging river, while Wang Aotian's dantian was gradually becoming empty.

"Bang, bang, bang..." After about three minutes, the battle qi in Wang Aotian's dantian was completely depleted, and he was left defenseless, being punched to the ground by Lu Tianyu.

Lu Tianyu, not letting up, continued to rain punches on Wang Aotian's body.
