36: Chapter 36 Who is the Mysterious Powerful One?

Just as Chu Xiu and Zhang Daxian returned to the temporary camp, the Gold-tier battle on the outskirts of Qingshan Town also came to an end.

"Damn it, I accept this loss today, and I, Chen Mo, will remember today's grudge!"

"Golden War Lion, retreat quickly!"

After one of the Gold-tier avian beasts of the Heavenly Demon Society was killed in battle, the Gold-tier Beastmaster's face turned pale, clearly suffering the backlash of his beast dying.

Watching the two major Gold-tier avian beasts in the sky slaughtering toward him, he didn't dare to continue fighting and hurriedly called out to the Golden Lion not far away to break away from the battle and flee.

"Given today's situation, do you think I'll let you escape?!"

Hearing Chen Mo tell the Golden Lion to escape, Director Mu Jingfeng shouted coldly. His beast, the Earth-Splitting Violent Bear, let out an angry roar, thrust its hands into the ground, and pried upward.

Suddenly, the earth beside the Golden War Lion cracked sharply, and two huge earth walls instantly rose from the ground, trapping the Golden War Lion in the middle like closing floodgates.

Principal Han Xianming, standing nearby with a cold gaze fixed on Chen Mo, urged his beast to spit out a crescent-shaped golden blade of light several meters long toward the Golden Lion.

His beast was identical to Chen Mo's Golden War Lion, except that his beast was not a real Golden War Lion, but was mirrored by his special-type beast, 'Replication Card', possessing the same strength and skills as the Golden War Lion.

Restricted in movement by the two earth walls, Chen Mo's Golden War Lion forcefully endured this attack, and a gruesome wound over three feet long was slashed across its front shoulder, with blood flowing freely.

At the same time, the flying beasts of the two men in the night sky were also flying over at high speed.

Once these two flying beasts joined the ground battle, they would resolve Chen Mo without a shred of suspense.

"I can't drag this out any longer, otherwise I'm bound to die!"

Sensing the increasingly critical situation, Chen Mo no longer hesitated, a fierce look flashing through his eyes.

He flickered his figure, directly rushing to the side of his beast, the Golden War Lion, and took out a bottle of scarlet potion from his bosom, pouring it into the Golden War Lion's mouth.

When this bottle of scarlet potion was poured into the Golden War Lion's mouth, a ferocious aura instantly erupted from its body.

"Roar!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Golden War Lion's body suddenly swelled by thirty percent, and its eyes turned red.

Beneath its golden fur, its skin cracked open, and blood overflowed, forming a layer of blood-red mist on the surface of its body.

"Boom!!!"

At the same time, the two earth walls of the Earth-Splitting Violent Bear were also shattered by the Golden War Lion.

"Let's go!"

After the Golden War Lion broke free from the restraints, Chen Mo leaped up, landed on the back of the Golden War Lion, and gave a low shout.

Under his command, the Golden War Lion didn't hesitate at all, turning around and sprinting toward the distant wilderness.

With the help of Chen Mo's mysterious liquid, the Golden War Lion's strength skyrocketed, and its speed also received a massive boost.

In just the blink of an eye, it turned into a bloody ray of light and disappeared from the sight of Principal Han Xianming and Director Mu Jingfeng.

"I miscalculated. I didn't expect this fellow to still have a blood-frenzied forbidden drug on him. We still let him escape."

Watching the figure disappear into the dark night, Principal Han Xianming frowned and said with a hint of regret.

"The effect of this blood-frenzied forbidden drug cannot last long, and once the medicinal effect passes, the Golden War Lion that used it will fall into a period of weakness. This is the best opportunity to finish off the opponent!"

"Old Han, you go back to the Qingshan Town temporary camp first, I'll go chase that fellow!"

Director Mu Jingfeng glanced at the direction where Chen Mo and the Golden War Lion had fled, said a word to Principal Han Xianming, and then put the Earth-Splitting Violent Bear back into his Beast Taming Space. With a single jump on the spot, he landed right on the back of the second Gold-tier beast that had just flown over, the Wind-Riding Golden Eagle.

The man and beast quickly chased in the direction where Chen Mo and the Golden War Lion had fled ahead.

Seeing this, Principal Han Xianming also waved his hand. The Golden War Lion in front of him, which was identical to Chen Mo's beast, turned into a ball of golden light. When the golden light dissipated, a card with golden patterns returned to his side and was put away by him into his Beast Taming Space.

After Principal Han Xianming took the 'Replication Card' back into his Beast Taming Space, the Cyan-scaled Eagle also arrived by his side, carrying him toward the temporary camp in the center of Qingshan Town.

...

"Principal!"

Just as Principal Han Xianming returned to the temporary camp, Yang Cheng and a group of Silver Grade teachers guarding the camp immediately stepped forward to greet him.

After Principal Han Xianming nodded to acknowledge Yang Cheng and the others, he glanced at the situation outside the temporary camp, his gaze falling upon seven or eight corpses piled together, and spoke:

"Those fiends from the Heavenly Demon Society didn't cause us any losses tonight, did they?"

Hearing this, Yang Cheng immediately replied: "Reporting to Principal, with experts from the City Defense Army and the Qingyi Bureau secretly accompanying us this time, we suffered no casualties."

"After investigation, all twenty powerhouses of the Heavenly Demon Society that we lured into Qingshan Town this time have been completely executed, but..."

Seeing the hesitant expression on Yang Cheng's face, Principal Han Xianming raised an eyebrow and hurriedly said: "But what? Speak quickly, don't stammer."

Hearing this, Yang Cheng dared not hesitate and immediately said: "Among these 20 people, only 19 were killed by the powerhouses of our three parties. However, one of the Silver Grade members of the Heavenly Demon Society was not killed by us."

Yang Cheng's words caused even Principal Han Xianming to reveal a look of surprise, exclaiming: "There's such a thing? Have you confirmed this situation with the people from the City Defense Army and the Qingyi Bureau? They really didn't kill him?"

"I didn't dare to be careless about such an important matter, and I've already confirmed it. That decapitated Silver Grade powerhouse of the Heavenly Demon Society was indeed not killed by anyone among our three parties."

Regarding this, Yang Cheng nodded.

Then he revealed a worried expression and said: "Principal, it now appears that there is an unknown powerhouse hiding in Qingshan Town. Should we end this practical combat training?"

A powerhouse capable of slaying a Silver Grade fiend must be at least a Silver Grade Beastmaster, and being able to evade their detection, this mysterious powerhouse's strength is undoubtedly extraordinary.

Such an unidentified powerhouse is definitely a ticking time bomb for them. Once the other party attacks their students, no student can survive the other party's attack.

Compared to Yang Cheng's worry, Principal Han Xianming was much calmer.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "No need. Since the other party slaughtered the fiends of the Heavenly Demon Society, presumably they are not an enemy. Perhaps the other party entered Qingshan Town to protect a certain student."

"Like this, go investigate which students passed by the place where the slaughtered powerhouse of the Heavenly Demon Society was located."

Hearing this, Yang Cheng nodded, quickly turned around and left, entering the central tent of the temporary camp.

Soon, he reached a conclusion based on tonight's surveillance footage.

Although many of the surveillance cameras they installed in Qingshan Town were destroyed by the powerhouses of the Heavenly Demon Society, they still saw the footage of Chu Xiu and Zhang Daxian riding their beasts heading toward the temporary camp from the direction of the street where the decapitated Heavenly Demon Society powerhouse was located.

"It actually turned out to be those two fellows, Chu Xiu and Zhang Daxian. Viewed this way, the mysterious person who killed the Heavenly Demon Society powerhouse should be an expert arranged by the Zhang family to secretly protect Zhang Daxian."

"The Zhang family really places great importance on Zhang Daxian, this single seedling. They actually couldn't even rest assured about our No. 1 High School's practical combat training, and specially sent someone to secretly protect Zhang Daxian."

"Fortunately, the Zhang family was cautious, otherwise Zhang Daxian and Chu Xiu would have been in danger tonight."

After watching the surveillance footage, Yang Cheng's face revealed a look of realization as he reached his conclusion, while also secretly feeling fortunate in his heart.

If not for the secret protection of that mysterious powerhouse arranged by the Zhang family, Zhang Daxian would definitely have been unable to survive under the hands of a Silver Grade powerhouse.

Once Zhang Daxian died during the practical combat training, the school would also find it difficult to give an account to the Zhang family.
