“Shit, I’m going to die!”
Li Fenghua wanted to block the attack. However, before she could move her right hand, the sharp strong wind already gushed toward her, blowing up her black hair.
Ding!
Sun Mo struck down the feathered arrow that had shot down. At the same time, he pushed Li Fenghua away.
“Enemy attack!”
Lu Qiushi shouted then ran toward Sun Mo, wanting to face the enemy together with him.
“Go take care of your students!”
Sun Mo instructed.
“How can I do that?”
Lu Qiushi refused.
Sun Mo’s party was only of two, and it’d be easy for them to escape. They didn’t need to stay at the frontline. The reason they were doing this was for the sake of the students.
This was really the flair of a great teacher!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Lu Qiushi +100. Friendly (700/1,000).
“Teacher Sun, than... thank you!”
Looking at that arrow, Li Fenghua felt a strong lingering fear. If Sun Mo hadn’t made a move in time, she’d have been pierced by the arrow.
“Teacher Sun? I’m sorry, it’s a misunderstanding!”
A middle-aged man walked over quickly, looking reproachful. “You aren’t hurt, are you? Liu Min, hurry up and come over to apologize!”
“Hmph!”
A young man turned his head away, pretending that he hadn’t heard anything.
“Liu Min!”
The middle-aged man reproached.
“There’s no need to apologize.”
Sun Mo placed his sword back into its sheath, his gaze sweeping out toward the school emblem on these people’s chest.
They were from Fengshan Academy.
“Teacher Sun really has a great reputation.”
Lu Qiushi sighed.
“Turns out that I was the one implicated!”
Li Fenghua was struck by a realization.
That Liu Min’s plan should have been to raise his reputation through challenging Sun Mo. It was just that she had happened to be by his side and was thus implicated.
“Teacher Sun, may I ask how the two of you are distributing the plants here?”
The middle-aged man smiled and asked.
“We came first. Of course, we should get more.”
Li Fenghua argued.
“Isn’t it just a one-step difference? How great could the difference be?”
Liu Min pouted. “Why don’t we just have a fight?”
“Let’s rely on our respective judgments. Let the herb belong to whoever digs it.”
Lu Qiushi was softhearted and didn’t wish to fight. Moreover, this group had a lot of people, about 30. If they were to get into a fight, Lu Qiushi’s side would be at a disadvantage.
“That’s good too.”
The middle-aged man cupped his fists together and then looked toward Sun Mo, his tone sounding humble. “Teacher Sun, please pardon my intrusion, but I’d like to seek some guidance from you!”
“Liu Min, you guys go and dig the herbs. Be careful.”
Liu Min’s group headed into the herb garden, while Lu Qiushi’s group was curious about what the middle-aged man wanted to seek guidance about. They wanted to listen too.
After all, Sun Mo’s reputation was very great, and it’d be very beneficial to them to be able to watch and listen to his teachings.
“How about we make it another day?”
Sun Mo refused. He had no time to chatter away with this guy.
“Teacher Sun, I’ve admired you for very long!”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and took a deep bow with both hands cupped together.
Sun Mo felt a little embarrassed and was about to agree when Retaliation Storm was suddenly activated. This caused a great warning to rise in his heart.
“Enemy attack?”
Sun Mo was stunned for a moment and directly elevated his six senses to their maximum limits as he paid attention to the surroundings. However, what he didn’t expect was that the enemies were right by his side.
The teachers and students from Liu Min’s group were heading for the herb garden. But when they passed by Lu Qiushi’s group, they suddenly launched sneak attacks.
Blade light and sword shadows flashed. It was a bloody massacre!
The Virtuous Academy’s teachers and students hadn’t encountered such crafty opponents before and were instantly slashed down, blood spurting out.
Bang!
Lu Qiushi, who was receiving Liu Min’s sword attack, bared his teeth in anger, bellowing, “What are you guys doing?”
At this moment, Lu Qiushi felt a mixture of shock and rage, wanting to kill all of these people.
All of their students had died from a single attack. They weren’t even given a chance to let out an agonizing cry.
“What are we doing? Of course, we’re killing!”
Liu Min sneered and attacked fiercely.
“Shameless!” Lu Qiushi cursed, “If you have the capability, then duel us openly!”
“Teacher Sun, this matter is none of your concern. Please do not interfere!”
The middle-aged man continued to speak in a respectful tone, but Sun Mo wasn’t going to fall for it again.
“Are you thinking of dealing with Virtuous Academy’s teachers and students first before coming to attack me jointly?”
As Sun Mo said this, his Evil Vanquisher was already flicked out, pointing toward the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man saw that their plan was exposed, he couldn’t be bothered to hide his killing intent anymore. He swung his fist toward Sun Mo.
Great Stele Punch!
“Sun Mo, let’s retreat first. They should be from the Dark Dawn.”
Murong Mingyue felt worried.
Although the Saint Gate didn’t forbid killings during competitions, they wouldn’t allow such underhanded sneak attacks. Therefore, although these people were wearing school uniforms, there was definitely a problem with their identities.
“Dark Dawn?”
Only then did Lu Qiushi understand.
“You’re such a fool. We’ve killed so many of your people. Even if I’m the emperor, shouldn’t you be killing me to seek revenge?”
Liu Min sneered.
“Die!”
Lu Qiushi let out an enraged bellow, filled with embarrassment and fury.
“Teacher Lu, he is agitating you.”
Sun Mo quickly reminded him, but in the time used to say these things, three more great teachers fell.
“Qiushi, we can’t beat them. Let’s run first.”
Li Fenghua was trembling, her voice filled with horror. If it wasn’t because Sun Mo had taken on the middle-aged man, their side would have been wiped out.
“No, I must kill them all.”
Lu Qiushi was fighting with his life on the line.
The students he led had all died. Hence, he wanted to die in battle, to put an end to everything.
“Teacher Lu, one only has the right to seek revenge if they remain alive. Otherwise, if you were to die now, you’d only let the people close to you be in pain and your foes be happy!”
Sun Mo let out an explosive bellow.
Buzz!
Priceless Advice erupted!
When the light spots scattered over his body, Lu Qiushi immediately calmed down.
“Thinking of running?” The middle-aged man mocked, “That’s not possible.”
“Murong, let’s go!”
Sun Mo urged. This middle-aged man was very strong. He was definitely at the Longevity Realm.
“All of you can die here!”
Liu Min smiled evilly. However, at this moment, a wave of green long arrows shot over.
Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!
The dark great teachers were fine, but their students were all shot to their deaths.
“Who are you?”
The middle-aged man let out an explosive bellow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A tremor appeared on the ground as if an ancient huge beast had passed by. The tremors caused even dust to be shaking. Thereafter, a big bunch of aboriginals appeared.
Out of which, 12 of them were seated on top of ancient huge trees.
“What are these things?”
Liu Min frowned because these big trees could actually move.
“Kill your way out!”
The middle-aged man instructed.
Their plan had failed. Now, their goal was to escape alive.
The aboriginals started attacking, sending arrows down like rain.
The Dark Dawn charged out amidst the arrow rain. There was no denying that these guys were really strong.
However, Liu Min charged up to an ancient tree and pounced toward the aboriginal on it, wanting to snatch this ancient tree ride.
The aboriginal who was sitting on that ancient tree let out a cold laugh and then knocked the tree branch with a long blade that was polished from a beast bone.
The ancient tree’s branches and leaves immediately shook.
Swoosh!
Countless pine needles that were like cow’s hair immediately shot out like ballista shots, all of them gushing toward Liu Min.
Ah!
Liu Min let out an agonizing cry and with a plop, fell to the ground and wriggled in agony. Right now, he looked like a porcupine.
The ancient tree moved, stepping on top of Liu Min.
Splatter!
A pool of flesh and blood immediately splattered, and Liu Min died without a complete body.
This was the power of the elites from the Greenhaze Tribe. Their mission was to hunt down and kill all invaders who had entered their holy ground. Right now, with their horrifying individual strength in addition to their advantage in numbers, this battle became a one-sided crushing.
“Qiushi, save me!”
Before Li Fenghua could finish her words, a few javelins pierced through her body, pinning her to the ground.
“Ahh!”
Lu Qiushi wanted to charge his way through, but every time he got close to the ancient trees, he’d get sprayed by the ‘pine needles’ which were covered with intense anesthetic.
Even ancient huge beasts would be put into anesthesia by them, let alone humans.
“Teacher Sun, let’s break out from here. I’ll be the vanguard.”
Murong Mingyue’s expression was determined. Even if she had to put her life on the line, she was going to send Sun Mo out.
“Hold on, let me do it!”
Sun Mo had planned on activating Great Invincibility and charged out directly, but an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Land Proof didn’t seem to be restricted to only animals. It should be the case in which all land species could be considered in the range of this divine language of spiritual control.
(To hell with it! It wouldn’t hurt to give it a try!)
Sun Mo immediately focused his attention and cast out a Land Proof.
Swoosh!
Golden light hit five ancient trees in the west.
Hua!
As a result, the huge trees that were advancing with a pressurizing force suddenly paused. All of their leaves shook like green tidal waves.
Thereafter, two trees’ branches lashed backward and hit the aboriginals who were sitting on the tree fork.
“Why are they not moving anymore?”
An aboriginal looked stunned. Not everyone had the right to sit on an ancient battle tree. It required a long period of training to be able to control them.
Now they were in the midst of a battle, but the huge trees weren’t listening to them. This made the aboriginal very anxious. One of them was trying to resolve the problem when the tree branch lashed out.
Bang! Bang!
That aboriginal was lashed so fiercely that he turned bloody red. Bright red blood splattered, and the controlled ancient battle trees pounced toward their left and right.
An opening was created.
“Hurry up and go!” Sun Mo urged.
“Stop them!”
The aboriginal leader let out an explosive bellow, and javelins were thrown out. However, Sun Mo blocked all of them. He then charged into the lush herb garden together with Murong Mingyue, disappearing out of sight.
“Kill this one first!”
The leader stared at the middle-aged man.
As long as the two of them were still within the holy ground, they’d definitely die. However, they mustn’t let another wave of enemies escape.
Therefore, the middle-aged man’s group had it really bad.
In the end, they were annihilated.
...
“To think that there are walking trees here. The Darkness Continent is really too incredible.”
Murong Mingyue exclaimed.
“There are so many people here. Even if we set up a teleportation gate, we won’t be able to get a lot of herbs.”
Sun Mo’s head was aching.
One must be at the Longevity Realm to be able to protect themselves here.
The two of them had no idea where An Xinhui was and could only move around aimlessly. Thankfully, they had a map and wouldn’t get lost. About half an hour later, they heard some fighting sounds.
By the time they arrived at the scene, Sun Mo saw a few famous schools’ groups chasing after over ten aboriginals, wanting to kill them.
“Teacher Sun?”
Someone recognized Sun Mo and immediately shouted excitedly, “Stop them!”
Sun Mo behaved as if he hadn’t heard anything and dodged.
Don’t be kidding. Right now, these aboriginals were like trapped beasts fighting a battle. Those who blocked their paths would end up dead.
“Teacher Sun, what do you mean by this?”
“What the hell?”
“Coward!”
Watching as the aboriginals fled, someone lashed out. Some of them even glared at Sun Mo, feeling displeased.
“Why don’t we follow them? If Headmaster An were to hear a commotion, she might come over.”
Murong Mingyue proposed.
“En!”
Sun Mo had the same thought.
However, the people in front weren’t pleased by this.. After all, Sun Mo was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.
