122: Chapter 122 Jiangzhou Martial Arts University

"Martial... Martial Emperor?"

The black-robed man looked at Han Ming, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, with a face full of horror.

How... how is this possible?

Didn't they say he was only an 8-Star Martial Ancestor?

How could he be a Martial Emperor?

And how old is he?

A 19-year-old Martial Emperor is simply unheard of.

"Boom!"

Before he could recover from his shock, a loud bang erupted. His body was instantly blasted into a bloody mist. A burst of flames shot into the sky, and that mist of blood was instantly burned clean, leaving not even a speck of ash behind.

"Young Master, don't you want to ask who he is or why he came to intercept you?" Ji Lingyue appeared before Han Ming in a flash, asking with confusion.

"No need, they were just two little rats from the Blood Demon Alliance," Han Ming said indifferently.

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Ye Yunfeng has broken through to Six-star Martial Ancestor, Qi and blood value + 1 million. Synchronized feedback to host: Qi and blood value + 1 million!]

[Ding, detected that host's disciple Nangong Li has broken through to 7-Star Martial Ancestor, Qi and blood value + 1 million points. Synchronized feedback to host: Qi and blood value + 1 million!]

Just as Han Ming and Ji Lingyue were preparing to continue their journey, two System notification sounds rang in his mind.

At the same time, two streams of Qi and blood energy appeared out of thin air within his body, transforming into a strand of pure True Essence that flowed into his Dantian.

However, for his current strength, it was like a drop of water in a large lake; it couldn't stir up any waves.

"Let's go!"

Han Ming took Ji Lingyue and continued flying towards Modu.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized base city not far from where Han Ming was, a middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Wang Shisan and the other have died so quickly? Interesting."

He then continued to close his eyes and Cultivate, as if nothing had happened.

Han Ming and his companion flew all the way, collecting quite a few exotic beasts into his Cave Heaven World.

His Cave Heaven World was two thousand li in radius, enough to support tens of thousands of exotic beasts.

During this time, they also saw many teams out hunting exotic beasts.

When they saw Han Ming and his companion flying overhead, they all wore expressions of envy. Those capable of flight were at least Martial King experts.

After flying for another two hours, a sudden violent energy fluctuation erupted ahead, accompanied by several roars and screams.

Han Ming scanned with his Divine Sense, his brows slightly raised.

Ten li ahead, five men in black were surrounding and killing three young people—two men and one woman.

The two men were at the Martial General level, while the woman was only a 9-Star Martial Ancestor.

They were already in dire straits, covered in wounds.

Of the five men in black, two were 9-Star Martial Ancestors and three were Martial Generals. Their strength was significantly higher than the three young people, and each of them exuded a cold, tyrannical aura, with various characteristics of exotic beasts showing on their bodies. Clearly, they were people from the Blood Demon Alliance.

"Hurry, they can't hold on much longer. As long as we refine them, our strength will definitely increase significantly."

"Otherwise, if their reinforcements arrive, we'll be in trouble."

The leader, a man in black with a face full of scales and flicking a snake-like tongue, shouted to the others, his attacks becoming even more ferocious.

"Kill..."

The others, upon hearing this, hurriedly surrounded and attacked the young people.

The three young people stood back-to-back in a circle, covered in wounds, their clothes stained red with blood.

The leading young man's left arm hung limp, clearly broken. Another boy had a gash torn open on his chest, revealing white bone.

The only short-haired girl had her right leg pierced and couldn't stand steadily, relying entirely on her companions to barely stay upright.

Their eyes were filled with despair.

"Damn it, why hasn't the school's rescue arrived yet?"

The leading boy cursed while desperately trying to defend himself.

"Hmph, Blood Demon Alliance animals again, seeking death!"

Just as those few were in despair, a cold snort rang out.

At the same time, a powerful aura directly blasted those five human-or-ghost Blood Demons away.

"You... who are you people?"

The leading Blood Demon spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at the suddenly appeared Han Ming and Ji Lingyue in shock.

"Phew..."

Seeing someone suddenly appear to save them, those young people let out a sigh of relief and collapsed, wearing expressions of having survived a disaster.

"The people who will kill you."

Han Ming couldn't be bothered to waste words with them. With a wave of his hand, several strands of Sword Qi shot out, directly piercing their heads.

The Sword Intent wreaked havoc in their minds, and they were dead beyond a doubt.

Seeing Han Ming casually wipe out five Blood Demons, the young people wore expressions of shock.

Han Ming looked younger than them, didn't he? And he could casually kill several Martial Generals?

Then just how strong was he? Peak Martial General, or Martial Marquis? As for Martial King, they didn't even dare to think about it.

"I am Fang Yuheng, a student of Jiangzhou Martial Arts University. These two are my classmates, Huang Dashan and Guan Xinxin. Many thanks to Senior for saving our lives."

The leading young man struggled to stand up and cupped his hands to thank Han Ming. He triggered his wounds, grimacing in pain.

The other two also struggled to stand and bowed to Han Ming. Then they began to take out Medicinal Pills to heal from their storage items.

"Oh? You are students of Jiangzhou Martial Arts University?"

Han Ming asked with some surprise upon hearing this.

He suddenly remembered that Su Wanning, whom the original owner had fawned over for years, seemed to have been admitted to Jiangzhou Martial Arts University.

"Yes, we are indeed students of Jiangzhou Martial Arts University. May I ask for Senior's name? We will definitely repay this life-saving grace in the future."

After taking the healing medicine, Fang Yuheng's complexion was much rosier.

"My name is Han Ming. There's no need for repayment; it was just a casual act for me."

After Han Ming finished speaking, he didn't wait for them to react and took Ji Lingyue soaring into the sky.

Just as he said, saving them was just a casual act!

"Wha... what? Martial... Martial King expert?"

Fang Yuheng and the others watched the two rapidly receding backs, their mouths agape in shock.

They had originally thought he was a Martial Marquis expert—which was already overestimating him—but they hadn't expected him to be a Martial King expert.

Such a young Martial King; even their Jiangzhou Martial Arts University didn't have one.

One had to know that Jiangzhou Martial Arts University was considered a top institution in the Great Xia Alliance; although it couldn't compare to Modu Martial Arts University or the one in the capital, it was at least ranked in the top ten.

Fang Yuheng and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled not only with shock but also a trace of bitterness.

They considered themselves geniuses, but compared to the person before them, they were nothing.

"This place is not suitable for staying long, let's go!"

After a long while, Fang Yuheng finally came back to his senses and said indifferently.

"Wait, those Blood Demons' Storage Rings are still there."

Guan Xinxin stopped the two and started to search the bodies of the men in black.

Fang Yuheng and Huang Dashan looked at each other and walked over as well.

Before long, they found five Storage Rings on the men in black.

"Heh, there's quite a lot of stuff here. Since Senior Han Ming didn't care for it, it's our gain."

Huang Dashan checked the rings with his Divine Thought, feeling very happy.

The resources inside were worth more than what they had gained in the past six months.

If Han Ming had heard his words, he definitely would have cried out in injustice.

How did he not care for them? He had clearly just forgotten about the step of looting the bodies after killing them.

He hadn't looted the two Martial King experts they killed earlier either; who knows if he would be so angry he'd vomit blood if he remembered.

"That must be Jiangzhou Base City, right!"

Han Ming and Ji Lingyue flew for a dozen minutes before seeing a huge city lying before them.

The city walls were hundreds of meters high, cast entirely from dark blue alloy, their surfaces engraved with dense defensive spirit patterns, emitting a cold luster under the sunlight.

The scale of Jiangzhou Base City was far inferior to Modu, but it was more than ten times larger than Jiangbei.

The city walls wound for dozens of li, firmly protecting the entire city. Inside the city, high-rise buildings stood in great numbers, flying cars shuttled back and forth—a scene of prosperity.

"Is... is this what a large human base city looks like?"

Ji Lingyue looked at this scene before her, her eyes wide. She was shocked beyond measure.

She had always lived in the Fox Clan settlement in the dense forest; where had she ever seen such a spectacular human base city?

"Yes, this is what a large human base city looks like. Let's go down and take a look."

Han Ming nodded, and as he spoke, he had already brought Ji Lingyue down to the ground.

They were less than five li from the city gate, and quite a few people had already passed by. Seeing Han Ming and his companion descend from the sky, they all looked over with curiosity.

Especially Ji Lingyue, such a beautiful woman, attracted even more gazes, and many men had greedy looks in their eyes.

If it weren't for seeing the two descend from the sky, some people might have already been unable to resist making a move. Killing and robbing for treasure or snatching people outside the base city were common occurrences. Whoever had the harder fist had the final say; the Alliance wouldn't care, and couldn't manage it anyway.

"Yo! What a beautiful babe. Brat, get lost, I've taken a fancy to this woman."

Suddenly, a harsh voice came from behind, arrogant and domineering, carrying undisguised greed.
