Chapter 242: I'll Make You Never Return

A furious roar from Vice Headmaster Li Yanji echoed from high above: "Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare? Hah, we'll make sure you never leave here alive!"The giant ape transformed by Vice Headmaster Hong Shan also unleashed an earth-shaking roar, his fists pounding so hard that space itself trembled.

Vice Headmaster Yun Chen's voice remained steady yet carried across the entire area: "Steady your minds, don't let the demonic sounds affect you!"

Su Zhan's heart sank even further. With the academy facing such a powerful enemy, the future variables had grown even more unpredictable.

Wang Mingyuan tightened his grip on him and snapped sharply: "Don't get distracted! Hurry! That level of battle is beyond our ability to intervene!"

High above.

The intensity of the combat far surpassed the battles below.

The three vice headmasters coordinated with seamless precision.

Vice Headmaster Yun Chen held the rear position steadily, the phantom image of the Starry Ancient Tree showering endless starlight radiance.

This brilliance greatly purified the mist surrounding the Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare.

It also had controlling effects.

Spiritual energy transformed into silken threads, continuously entangling the enemy.

Simultaneously, the starlight fell like sweet dew, continuously providing Li Yanji and Hong Shan with massive spiritual energy support and injury recovery.

This allowed them to unleash their full power without any concerns about reserves.

Vice Headmaster Li Yanji focused on offensive killing.

The Nine Suns Sky-Burning Sword operated at full capacity.

Nine golden flame great swords sometimes separated and sometimes combined, weaving into blazing sword nets that scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, slashing toward the Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare from various tricky angles.

Where the sword rays passed, space itself warped and distorted from the burning heat, the ultimate yang and rigid flame power having extremely strong restraining effects against the mist, forcing the demon nightmare to divert significant energy to concentrate mist for defense.

Vice Headmaster Hong Shan engaged in the most dangerous close-quarters combat with the Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare.

Their blows made space ripple with distortions.

He stubbornly entangled the demon nightmare, bearing the most direct pressure, creating the optimal output environment for Li Yanji's sword formation.

Those dark golden hairs possessed extremely powerful defensive capabilities.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare couldn't break through them immediately.

Starlight restraints, golden flames scorching the heavens, violent bombardment!

The attacks from the three Ocean Realm experts came like a storm, completely submerging the Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare's figure.

But the Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare dared to fight one against three, naturally possessing extraordinary strength that was truly terrifying.

Facing the coordinated siege of three Ocean Realm experts.

He actually still didn't fall behind!

The mist around him seemed to move as he commanded.

Sometimes transforming into heavy shields.

Sometimes becoming countless tentacles.

Other times dispersing into barriers.

The Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare emitted soul-piercing shrieks.

Forcing the three vice headmasters to divert attention to stabilize their mental states.

Occasionally, it manifested their innermost fear illusions that they least wanted to face, which, while unable to cause physical damage, greatly disrupted their combat rhythm.

Sometimes several giant demon claws would extend out.

"Boom! Crash! Tear!"

Four figures moved at speeds difficult for the naked eye to follow, wildly crisscrossing.

Colliding, separating, then colliding again.

The scattered energy aftermath shredded the buildings below into ruins.

Su Zhan kept moving quickly with Wang Mingyuan while frequently looking up at the high-altitude battle.

Seeing that the Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare remained composed under the three vice headmasters' attacks, occasionally even launching counterattacks.

He couldn't help but ask worriedly in a low voice:

"Teacher Wang, that Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare... he's holding his own against three opponents, can the three vice headmasters... manage?"

Wang Mingyuan's expression was grave: "The three vice headmasters' strength is at the early Ocean Realm, roughly first to third stage level, while that Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare across from them...

It's said that five years ago, his strength had already reached Calamity-level fifth stage!

At their level, the gap between each minor stage is like an unbridgeable chasm, strength improvement is extremely difficult, and the power enhancement it brings is enormous.

Therefore, it's extremely difficult for the three headmasters to capture him, or even just repel him."

Hearing this, Su Zhan nodded silently.

He didn't want the academy to lose.

This was his academy, with teachers who instructed him, friends who cared about him, and countless future pillars of Daxia.

If the academy were defeated, it would be an unimaginable disaster and massacre.

Emotionally and morally, he absolutely didn't want to see that happen.

But on the other hand.

Only when the academy fell into complete chaos, with everyone's attention captured by the highest-level battles and survival crises, and supervision reduced to its minimum...

Would he have that slim chance to escape amid the confusion.

If the three vice headmasters quickly defeated the Thousand-Faced Demon Nightmare and stabilized the situation, then order would soon be restored.

At that time, he would still be captured by Qin Bai.

Facing interrogation more terrifying than death.

Hoping the academy could hold on, yet hoping the chaos would continue...

Su Zhan felt conflicted inside.

Seeing the Central Underground Shelter entrance ahead that resembled an underground fortress gate already within sight.

They could already see more teachers there organizing students for orderly entry.

Wang Mingyuan and the other two couldn't help but breathe slight sighs of relief.

They were about to rush across the final stretch of open square.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Three black-robed figures emitting powerful Special-risk level fluctuations suddenly appeared from three different directions, precisely blocking the path between them and the shelter entrance.

These three Aberrants had clearly come prepared, cutting off their escape routes completely, with cold killing intent locking onto them without concealment.

"Hmph!"

Qin Bai snorted coldly, the Eternal Night Aurora Whip instantly encircling his body.

"Three Special-risks... trouble."

Wang Mingyuan's face darkened, immediately pulling Su Zhan sharply behind him, vast white spiritual energy surging out, instantly setting up layered spiritual defense barriers around them.

"Scared of what! Let's fuck them up!"

Kong Wu roared furiously, beneath his bronze skin his blood and energy surged, muscles expanding again as he stepped forward like a human-shaped ferocious beast.

Fearlessly confronting the Special-risk Aberrant directly ahead.

Combat erupted instantly.

Three against three.

Qin Bai's Eternal Night Aurora Whip lashed toward the enemy on the left.

Kong Wu charged roaring directly at the enemy straight ahead, fists the size of sand pots carrying mountain-crushing and rock-splitting power smashing down fiercely, choosing the most direct head-on fighting style.

Wang Mingyuan coordinated from the center, white spiritual energy sometimes transforming into shields to help Kong Wu block blades attacking from the side.

Sometimes becoming chains to entangle and disrupt the enemy circling on the right.

Simultaneously having to divide attention to maintain the spiritual energy barrier protecting Su Zhan.

But his Tide Realm cultivation was clearly somewhat insufficient for the task.

The pressure was immense.

The three Special-risk Aberrants' Mist Energy interwove, forming a strange domain.

Su Zhan was protected at the very center of the combat circle.

Already thinking about how to escape at this moment.
