121: Chapter 121 Strong Reinforcements Arrive
At the same time, at the entrance of Qinglan University.
Lin Muer was covered in blood, her face as pale as paper, barely managing to hold on until here by relying on a Blood Burst Pill she had swallowed.
The guard at the gate saw her condition and immediately stepped forward to support her: “Student, are you okay?”
“I am Lin Muer... looking for Teacher Zhao Wu...” Lin Muer grabbed the guard's arm, her voice weak but urgent, while handing over an engraved token.
“Black Wind Ridge... Zhang Wen and the captain are in danger, please ask Teacher Zhao Wu to go save them...” As soon as she finished speaking, she fainted from exhaustion.
The guard took the token, and upon hearing the names “Black Wind Ridge” and “Zhang Wen,” his expression changed drastically.
He knew this name. Without time to think, he immediately dialed the principal's phone and sent an urgent message to Zhao Wu.
Inside the principal's office, the call was just answered when the guard's urgent voice came through.
“Principal! It's bad! A student named Lin Muer fainted at the gate, saying Zhang Wen is in life-threatening danger at Black Wind Ridge, begging Teacher Zhao Wu to go rescue them!”
“What?”
The principal stood up abruptly, sweeping documents off the desk. A terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire office, as if the air had frozen.
He didn't care about maintaining his elegant image as principal, grabbed his gear, took a step, and his figure vanished from the office, leaving only an afterimage.
The pressure of the Origin Tracing Realm spread out, causing teachers and students along the way to stop, their expressions filled with shock.
On the other side, Zhao Wu had just walked out of the teaching building when he saw the message on his phone, his expression instantly becoming grave.
He was just about to move when a voice came from behind: “Zhao Wu, where are you in such a hurry to go?”
Zhao Wu turned back, saw it was Lin Mo, and hurriedly said: “My uncle and someone named Zhang Wen are in danger at Black Wind Ridge, I have to go save him!”
Lin Mo had originally just spoken out of politeness, but upon hearing “Zhang Wen” and “danger,” the gentleness on his face instantly faded, his expression turning terrifyingly gloomy.
He didn't say anything more, flashed, and actually rushed out a step ahead of Zhao Wu, his speed so fast that only an afterimage remained.
Zhao Wu was stunned on the spot, then gave a wry smile—he had forgotten that Zhang Wen was Lin Mo's disciple.
Zhao Wu didn't delay any longer, channeling his Penetration Realm spiritual power, following closely behind Lin Mo, speeding towards Black Wind Ridge.
On the battlefield of Black Wind Ridge, Zhang Wen, relying on the boost from Thunder Gaba, was trading blows with Ye Chen.
But Thunder Gaba ultimately had a time limit; he could feel the spiritual power in his body consuming rapidly, and his arms were beginning to feel numb.
Ye Chen clearly noticed this too, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.
“It's just a short burst, I want to see how much longer you can hold on!”
Ye Chen again activated his Domain power, the golden energy field locking Zhang Wen firmly, the golden light on his sword intensifying, preparing to end the battle with his strongest move.
Zhang Wen gritted his teeth, just about to take out his last healing pill, when he heard a terrifying pressure coming from afar.
That pressure far exceeded Ye Chen's Domain Realm, making even him feel a palpitation.
“This is...”
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically, he turned his head abruptly to look into the distance, his eyes full of terror.
Zhang Wen also looked in the direction of Ye Chen's gaze, only to see a figure stepping through the air, moving at an astonishing speed.
Faint spiritual power fluctuations swirled around, and wherever it passed, space seemed to distort slightly.
Following closely behind were two slightly slower figures, none other than Lin Mo and Zhao Wu.
“Principal!”
Zhang Wen felt a joy in his heart, his hanging heart finally dropping.
Ye Chen looked at the principal stepping through the air, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
That was the pressure of the Origin Tracing Realm! He never expected that Zhang Wen could disturb a powerhouse of the Origin Tracing Realm.
Ye Chen didn't hesitate anymore, turned around to run, but would the principal give him a chance?
“Want to leave?”
The principal snorted coldly, tapped his finger lightly, and an invisible streak of spiritual power shot out instantly, hitting Ye Chen's back directly.
Ye Chen screamed, spat out blood, and fell heavily to the ground; his Domain power instantly collapsed, and his sword flew out of his hand.
The principal landed, walked to Zhang Wen's side, looking at his wounds, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
He then turned to Ye Chen, his expression icy: “People from the Zhenxi Army, daring to touch my people on the territory of my Qinglan University, you have some nerve.”
Ye Chen lay on the ground, unable to move, looking at the principal's cold eyes, his heart filled with fear.
“Sen... Senior, spare me, I am a subordinate of the Grand Commander of the Zhenxi Army. If you kill me, the Zhenxi Army will not let this rest!”
“Zhenxi Army?”
The principal sneered, raised his hand again, “Even if your Grand Commander came, he couldn't save you today!”
Just then, Lin Mo and Zhao Wu also arrived at the battlefield. Lin Mo walked quickly to Zhang Wen's side, checking his injuries.
His tone was urgent: “Zhang Wen, how are you? Are you hurt in any vital areas?”
Zhao Wu walked to Ye Chen's side, kicked him, and snorted: “Daring to make a move on Zhang Wen, you're done for.”
Zhang Wen shook his head and laughed: “I'm fine, thanks to the principal and you all arriving in time.”
The principal glanced at Lin Mo and Zhao Wu, then looked at Ye Chen, slowly saying.
“This brat, I'll leave him to you to handle, don't dirty my hands.”
Ye Chen lay on the ground, feeling the principal's mountain-like Origin Tracing Realm pressure, knowing he had no possibility of escape.
A flash of madness crossed his eyes, no longer concealing that deeply hidden secret, and a low roar issued from his throat.
An icy and evil aura suddenly permeated his whole body; this aura was exactly the same as the Cloaked Figure from the Soul Devouring Hall that Zhang Wen had once encountered!
“Soul Devouring Hall!”
Zhang Wen, Lin Mo, and Zhao Wu exclaimed almost in unison, their expressions instantly turning grave.
Zhang Wen gripped his sky-splitting startling thunder spear even tighter; the dangerous scenes of his previous encounter with the remnants of the Soul Devouring Hall flooded his mind.
The pressure brought by this aura was even more horrifying than Ye Chen's previous Domain Realm pressure.
The next second, the black Qi around Ye Chen surged wildly, directly forcing a Fusion of the soul fiend hidden within his body!
Dark black energy waves shot into the sky, his previously damaged Meridians seemingly forcibly repaired by the soul fiend.
His aura surged to a level far exceeding before, his scarlet eyes staring fixedly at the principal in the distance, yet he had no intention of confronting him directly.
He knew very well that even with the Fusion of the soul fiend, he was absolutely no match for the Origin Tracing Realm.
“Want to run?”
The principal's eyes turned cold; he had long seen through Ye Chen's intentions.
Ye Chen kicked the ground fiercely, his figure fleeing towards the depths of Black Wind Ridge like an arrow leaving the bow.
His speed was several times faster than before, and the trees along the way were cut in half by the soul fiend energy waves around him, leaving a pitch-black trail.
If only the Penetration Realm Zhao Wu and the Domain Realm Lin Mo had come today, perhaps he really could have escaped temporarily.
But standing in front of him right now was an Origin Tracing Realm powerhouse who spanned three major Realms.
The principal stood still, just slowly raised his right hand and made a grasping motion in the direction Ye Chen was fleeing.
“Boom!”
The invisible spiritual power instantly condensed into a giant energy palm, enveloping Ye Chen's figure like a net.
Ye Chen felt his whole body stiffen, as if locked tightly by iron pliers, making even breathing difficult.
The power that surged after the Fusion of the soul fiend had no room for resistance under this absolute pressure.
The next second, the energy palm contracted violently, accompanied by a deafening roar, and Ye Chen's body exploded directly in the black Qi. Along with the soul fiend, he was completely annihilated, leaving not even a scrap of remains.
Only a dissipating black Qi remained in place, along with the lingering bloody and cold aura in the air.
Zhang Wen and the others watched, dumbfounded, and only after a long while did they come to their senses, sighing.
“As expected of the Principal! This strength is just too strong!”
Zhao Wu even gulped; he was currently stuck at the Peak of the Penetration Realm, and originally thought the gap between him and the Domain Realm Lin Mo was already large enough.
But seeing the principal's effortless strike, he truly understood the terror of the Origin Tracing Realm.
That was a gap like heaven and earth, which could not be bridged by numbers.
