Outside, the fighting continued.
Inside the cafeteria.
Su Yu and Chen Hao could only hear the clash of swords, the cries of pain, and the screams of the students… but they didn’t dare to peek out.
Were they gaining the upper hand or falling behind?
Even Su Yu, who firmly believed that the teachers would win, didn’t know what the situation was.
“Ayu…”
In the corner, Chen Hao gripped his knife tightly, his face pale and flushed. He wanted to ask Su Yu if they should go out.
Su Yu ignored him, his left ear twitching slightly. He was listening to the sounds.
His Origin Opening Stage 4 strength hadn’t improved much, but his hearing had become much more acute.
“Lies!”
Su Yu put his index finger to his lips, signaling Chen Hao to be quiet.
A moment later, heavy footsteps came from outside, without any attempt at concealment.
“Come out quickly, the academy is arranging for you to evacuate and gather at the south gate!”
A voice with a hint of urgency came, and a moment later, a man in his thirties entered the cafeteria with a knife, calling out, “Are there any students here? Hurry, we can’t hold on much longer, the Ten Thousand Clan Sect is too strong, evacuate the academy!”
Urgent voices accompanied the sound of footsteps.
Chen Hao moved slightly, looking anxiously at Su Yu. The teacher had come to find them, should they go?
Su Yu also squinted and looked towards the door, seeing the figure. He didn’t recognize him, but with over two hundred instructors in the academy, he couldn’t possibly know them all.
Had an instructor come to find them?
“Is anyone here? The front line can’t hold, we must evacuate immediately, hurry!”
The man was very anxious. The cafeteria was large, at least several thousand square meters, and searching the entire place would take at least a minute, which was too much time.
In the corner.
Chen Hao, hearing the teacher’s urgent tone and that the front line couldn’t hold, couldn’t help but feel anxious. Without waiting for Su Yu, he hurriedly poked his head out and said, “Teacher, what’s happening outside?”
The man’s eyes swept over, a hint of undisguised joy in them.
Students were indeed students, too naive.
Even though the academy constantly taught them survival rules, it wasn’t enough.
Just before, he had used these words to lure out two hidden students in the combat practice room. In just ten seconds, he had lured out two people from an entire floor with multiple rooms.
If he had to find them himself, it would take at least two minutes.
Without experiencing setbacks or the battlefield, these children would believe a few deceptive words.
“It’s very bad outside, come on, follow me, there’s no time left if you don’t…”
The man spoke as he quickly moved towards Chen Hao.
Three now!
The man couldn’t hide the joy on his face. Of the 300 elites, 200 were holding off the instructors, city guards, security teams, and Wind Catching Hall.
Even though they were outnumbered, they still had the advantage because many of those people were in the early to mid-Thousand Pound Realm.
The rest were either attacking classrooms or searching for scattered students within the academy.
Attacking classrooms was met with desperate defense from the instructors.
Scattered students, although few and difficult to find, had no protection and were easier to kill.
Even if they killed all the thousands of students, each person wouldn’t even kill ten.
And he had already gotten three!
In the next few minutes, he might get even more.
“Come over quickly, leave the academy…”
The man moved quickly, speaking as he rushed towards Chen Hao.
In their eyes, students were just a single strike. The key was that scattered students were hard to find. Once found, it was a great merit!
Chen Hao stood up, wanting to go out, and subconsciously glanced at Su Yu.
And Su Yu was also looking at this “instructor.”
When the man started speaking, Su Yu had also taken him for an instructor, but… soon Su Yu noticed something was wrong.
It wasn’t that he was experienced, but he had been chased too many times in his dreams. The man’s urgent tone was just like the roars of the fierce beasts that wanted to kill him.
It was as if he was shouting, “Come on, let me kill you, I can’t wait.”
Although the words didn’t mean that, the sense of urgency, the feeling of wanting to kill you immediately, was the same, the same tone!
At that moment, Su Yu couldn’t help but take a closer look.
The next moment, sweat appeared on Su Yu’s forehead.
Fake!
Although the instructors’ uniforms weren’t necessarily uniform, they all wore badges no matter what they wore. This guy didn’t!
Did he lose it?
Was it knocked off because the fighting was too intense?
“No…”
Su Yu saw it, he saw the slight lift of the blade, the starting stance of drawing a sword. He was going to strike!
“Damn it, that idiot Haozi!”
Cursing inwardly, Su Yu didn’t have time to think and regretted being so careless. He lacked experience. He and Chen Hao were just students from a middle-tier academy and had never experienced such a situation.
They thought the enemies would openly attack, that they would be fierce and menacing, but they never expected that the enemies would also try to trick them, the weak.
“Teacher!”
With a soft cry, Su Yu hurriedly jumped down, his heart pounding.
The man’s hand paused, and he rejoiced inwardly!
Another one!
Four now!
The hand holding the knife was now covered in sweat, nervous, scared, uneasy…
However, he held on. He had been killed too many times in his dreams. Even though he was scared, it was only because it was his first real-life experience. He adapted faster than others.
“Teacher, are we really going to lose outside? Then we have more than ten students here. Can I call them to come with us?”
Su Yu hurriedly said, turning his head to look deeper into the cafeteria, “Otherwise, they won’t be able to leave either.”
More than ten?
The man was about to explode with joy!
More than ten!
He was going to make a fortune!
He could kill dozens of students today!
Maybe even a Ten Thousand Stone Realm expert wouldn’t have as much merit as him this time. He had hit the jackpot.
The man wanted to laugh, to roar with laughter. A dozen or so Origin Opening cultivators were just delivering food; he could kill one with a single strike, and they wouldn’t even be able to run away.
Originally, he had wanted a quick victory, but now the man quickly changed his mind and hurriedly said, “Quick, shout it out together, we’re leaving immediately.”
Su Yu’s heart was still pounding fiercely. Without saying much, he turned to face the man.
At this moment, with just one strike from the man, Su Yu would be finished.
Su Yu turned around, directly swallowed the essence blood, turned his back to the man, and walked towards the depths of the cafeteria, saying with some uneasiness, “Teacher, can you take more people with you? I know there are many other students hiding in other places, I don’t know if you can find them…”
“There are more?”
The man was overjoyed; there were even more!
At this moment, the man hurriedly followed Su Yu. As for Chen Hao… he was too lazy to care about a single person and could deal with him at any time.
He didn’t notice that Chen Hao’s face turned pale instantly, and sweat permeated his skin, covering his face.
Having known Su Yu for so many years, how could he not understand his best friend at all?
Where did the dozen or so students come from, where did the others come from…
This was… a lie!
A member of the Ten Thousand Races Sect!
He almost killed Su Yu!
“I’m so stupid, so foolish, I… I’m sorry, Ah Yu, I’m sorry…”
Chen Hao’s legs were weak, and his whole body was powerless. But at this moment, he remembered what Su Yu had said earlier and hurriedly shouted, “Teacher, I… I’m scared, I can’t walk anymore, can you help me…”
He was really scared, really unable to walk anymore, his legs were trembling.
The man turned his head, looking impatient.
If it wasn’t to find the remaining people smoothly, he would have killed this guy with a single strike. He was worried that killing this guy now would scare the hiding people, causing them to run away, and even if he caught up, he wouldn’t be able to catch them all.
“I’ll carry you!”
Despite his impatience, the man turned around and reached out to grab Chen Hao, preparing to carry him away.
“Haozi, you’re such a waste, you just know how to trouble the teacher…”
Behind him, Su Yu said, clutching the knife, his hands full of sweat, making the handle slippery.
As he spoke, Su Yu moved closer to the man. When the man reached out to grab Chen Hao, a fierce look flashed in Su Yu’s eyes, this was the moment!
“Haozi, walk yourself, don’t trouble the teacher…”
“Buzz!”
The sound of a long knife slicing through the air was heard. The man subconsciously turned his head, a thought flashing through his mind, had he been discovered?
Even if he had, it didn’t matter, he was just an Origin Opening cultivator…
Origin Opening… that’s all?
Origin Opening!
No, no!
The man wanted to dodge, but suddenly felt his limbs wouldn’t obey him anymore. He didn’t feel anything on his neck at first, but a moment later, an intense pain came!
“This knife isn’t accurate, that’s not how you chop heads…”
The man inexplicably had such a thought. It was too painful; chopping heads should be fast, accurate, and ruthless. This guy didn’t chop accurately enough; his head didn’t fall off instantly, it was so painful!
Bang!
The head landed!
The man’s body was still standing, still maintaining the posture of turning his head, but his head was gone.
The long knife was still in his hand, and the other hand was still reaching forward. His dozen or so students… were gone!
Silence.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Bang!
The corpse fell to the ground!
“Huff…”
The sound of bellows-like breathing came. Su Yu’s mouth was dry, and his mind was blank.
Chen Hao’s face was splattered with a lot of blood and his mind was also blank.
He killed him!
Ah Yu killed that guy with one strike!
“Ah… Ah Yu…”
Chen Hao’s limbs wouldn’t obey him. He instantly collapsed to the ground, crawling towards Su Yu on his hands and feet, not caring about embarrassing himself. He was really close to wetting his pants just now.
“Ah Yu… Ah Yu… you… I… he’s dead, he’s dead…”
“Dead!”
Su Yu looked at the corpse in front of him, at the blood on the ground. His throat was hoarse and dry, “Calm down! Calm down, this is the enemy, a beast of the Ten Thousand Races Sect. It’s not like you haven’t seen executions before!”
“Go… change places… hide… otherwise they might send more people…”
At this time, Su Yu didn’t care about dealing with the corpse; he had to run.
That one strike had made his whole body sore and weak, not physically, but mentally.
“Yes, let’s go, hurry up…”
Chen Hao said, about to continue crawling away, suddenly gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and turned to reach out towards the man’s corpse.
With his eyes closed, he dared not think, dared not look.
But he remembered that he could go to the War Academy!
He groped, groping randomly, feeling many sticky things on his hands. He didn’t dare to think about it. The next moment, he felt a small cloth bag, without thinking, without looking, he hurriedly stuffed it into his pocket, turned around, half-dragging Su Yu’s leg, and followed him on his hands and feet.
Su Yu was less nervous and afraid because of what he did, and couldn’t help but curse in a low voice, “You’re still thinking about this at this time, don’t you want your life!”
“Can… go to the War Academy… Ah Yu… you killed him, you’re so awesome…”
Su Yu didn’t bother to say anything else, dragging Chen Hao and quickly leaving the cafeteria.
He didn’t dare to go far, afraid of encountering enemies again, and hid in a dark corner of a wall outside the cafeteria.
“Thump thump thump…”
His heart was still beating violently, but Su Yu gradually calmed down. Soon, he exhaled, “That’s all there is to it!”
“I’m used to being killed myself, what else isn’t I used to!”
He chuckled self-deprecatingly. I’ve been killed so many times in my dreams, I’m used to it, aren’t I?
I can even die myself, what am I afraid of when killing enemies?
Boom!
Outside, the fighting continued.
It seemed like a long time, but in reality, from the time the man entered the door to the time he was killed and they left, it probably took less than a minute.
“Guangzi!”
“Mm.”
“Did you wet your pants?”
“No… no, don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t!”Chen Hao’s face flushed red, “No!”
However, Chen Hao still hurriedly glanced at his crotch and breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he felt like he had lost consciousness and didn’t know if he had wet his pants.
“A-Yu… you’re amazing!”
“Enough nonsense!”
Su Yu looked up and glanced around, hearing the teachers’ angry shouts and seeing people searching in the distance.
“They’re losing ground!”
If that weren’t the case, the teachers wouldn’t have allowed these Myriad Races Sect people to search the students within the academy.
There were definitely scattered students, and some might already be dead.
Su Yu looked at the knife in his hand, quickly wiping the blood off with the nearby grass and trees. He regained his composure and gritted his teeth, saying, “Haozi, are you afraid of death?”
“Afraid… not afraid!”
“Go, go see if there’s anyone around. If you see someone, tell them there are a few students hiding here waiting for rescue, go ask for help!”
“Huh?”
Su Yu gritted his teeth and said, “The teachers can’t handle it all, if others are found, they’re dead! Lure one or two over, I’ll kill them, and fewer students will die!”
“A-Yu!”
Chen Hao cried out softly, quickly remembering how Su Yu had killed that guy with one slash, it didn’t seem that scary!
“Okay, I’ll go. A-Yu, you… you can really still kill them?”
“Yes!”
“Okay, kill another one. The last one was yours, the next one… can you lend me the next one, I… I also want to go to the War Academy.”
“Deal!”
Chen Hao seemed to have forgotten his fear, grinning foolishly. He was going to the War Academy.
His legs weren’t weak anymore. The next moment, Chen Hao bent over and walked forward, peeking out from the corner of the wall, looking around. Soon, he found many Myriad Races Sect members searching for students within the academy.
The closest one was less than a hundred meters away.
Chen Hao was still a little scared, enduring his fear, he trembled, “Teacher… are you a teacher?”
Not far away, the person’s ears twitched slightly, and instantly turned to look at Chen Hao.
“Are you a teacher? We… we’re scared, teacher, can you take us away?”
“Teacher?”
The Myriad Races Sect member’s eyes flickered slightly. These students thought they were teachers?
Well, both sides were human, there wasn’t much special difference, how could a group of students recognize the distinction.
Experienced people could naturally see the difference at a glance, but what did these students who had never experienced any setbacks know?
“Teacher, there are a few more of us here, can you take us away? Just now… just now someone was chasing us…”
“There are a few more?”
The person not far away was moved, seeing Chen Hao’s terrified and pale face, it wasn’t acting, he was really scared, he could tell.
The next moment, the man rushed over quickly.
As for ambushes… he didn’t think about it.
If the academy instructors had time to ambush people, and the energy to ambush people, they would have gone to the front lines to fight already.
Now the academy was in battle everywhere, and even protecting the gathered students was a struggle, where would they find the time and manpower to ambush them.
Chen Hao scrambled, hurriedly diving behind the wall.
The man’s ears twitched, even if he wasn’t afraid of ambushes, he still instinctively took a little caution. Having completed Kaiyuan, his ears and eyes were sharp. Unless someone was much stronger than him, he could hear some movements.
“There’s another student inside!”
He heard a weak panting, a nervous panting, heavy breathing, not what one would expect from the Qianjun Realm.
“He said several, are there others hiding elsewhere?”
The man thought to himself, glancing at the other searching guys in the distance, taking more caution. This was his credit, he couldn’t let those guys discover it.
The next moment, the man entered behind the wall, sure enough, there was another student here.
Also pale.
“The teacher is here? Zhou Tao and the others are still waiting for us, teacher, what happened, have the Myriad Races Sect beasts attacked?”
Su Yu quickly said a few words, with a look of joy, as if in fear, throwing the knife in his hand, and running towards the man.
“Teacher, I’ll take you to find them…”
He even threw the knife away!
The man instantly lost his vigilance. Kaiyuan Realm people with knives were a threat, but unarmed… even if they attacked, it would be difficult to kill a Qianjun.
They really thought of him as their teacher!
Foolish little ones!
“Where are they?”
The man’s tone contained a hint of joy, like the previous person, feeling that credit was being delivered to his door, barely concealing his joy.
“Just follow me, teacher…”
Su Yu reached out to grab the man, as if to grab his arm and take him with him.
The man frowned slightly, wanting to avoid it, but resisting the urge to kill him, he gave up evading, let him hold on for a while…
Puchi!
Just as he was thinking, that hand was extremely fast, as if instantly turning into sharp claws, tearing through his flesh with one grab, piercing his heart, the other hand grabbing the hand holding the knife, with a crack, his arm broke!
The man wanted to roar, but the next moment, his throat was torn!
“Hiss…”
Large mouthfuls of blood spurted from his mouth, the man fell to the ground, looking up at Su Yu, still confused.
Qianjun, and still a high-level Qianjun!
How was that possible!
This was Nanyuan, how could there be a Qianjun Realm student, impossible.
Su Yu quickly searched the body, pulling the already unafraid Chen Hao, and quickly fled.
This idiot, he really thought he could kill anyone, and wasn’t running, what was he so excited about!
In the instant of escaping, Su Yu suddenly saw a golden light, looking up.
At that moment, Su Yu was a little stunned.
In mid-air, a familiar figure soared into the sky, covered in golden light.
“Instructor Liu…”
Chen Hao also saw it, equally dazed.
In mid-air, Liu Wenyan was shining with golden light, the surrounding Yuan Qi swarming towards him, converging on him.
Liu Wenyan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried far: “Ascension is not my wish, but I hope the Myriad Races are at peace…”
So awesome!
So fake!
At this moment, two thoughts flashed through Su Yu’s mind. Elder Niu is indeed powerful, but also very fake. Instructor Liu clearly desires will manifestation and entry into the Soaring realm, yet he says soaring is not his wish. He’s lying!
