101: Could it be that I am the villain?

Bang!

When the thunder and flames annihilated each other.

Several people rushed rapidly in the direction from which the thunder had flown.

A Martial Artist's control over a released Martial Skill is not very strong.

The ambusher must be in the direction from which the thunder came.

However, they ended up rushing into empty air.

Taking advantage of the moment the group was lured away, Li Canglan came charging over, holding his fangtian halberd in reverse.

Chen Jie's expression changed slightly; he couldn't figure out where exactly Li Canglan had attacked from.

But now was not the time to ponder this.

Chen Jie barely managed to support his body to stand, using every ounce of his strength to stall for time, waiting for the others to return.

Zhu Yufang also unleashed her ability, condensing flames into a fierce tiger that pounced violently toward Li Canglan.

Fine beads of cold sweat seeped from her forehead.

Clearly, this ability consumed a great deal of her energy.

Li Canglan snorted coldly and began to brandish his fangtian halberd, creating a defense so tight that not even water could seep through.

His halberd technique was grand and expansive, filled with a sense of oppression.

If not for the obstruction of the flame tiger, the injured Chen Jie would have already died under his halberd.

After a few breaths, he took the attack of the flame tiger head-on.

With one strike of his halberd, he knocked away Chen Jie's weapon, and immediately followed up by piercing the tip of the halberd into Chen Jie's chest.

Puchi!

Chen Jie's eyes slowly dimmed.

Blood spilled from the corners of Chen Jie's mouth, his eyes filled with endless regret.

Had he known it would come to this, he would rather have given up the mission.

He would not have wanted to accompany Zhu Yufang and offend a ruthless person like Li Canglan.

"Brother Jie!"

Those students who had chased out had by this time realized they had been lured away, and rushed back immediately.

But just as they returned, they witnessed this scene that made their eyes split with rage.

The flame tiger seized the opportunity, its massive beast claw striking Li Canglan's back.

He let out a muffled grunt as his whole body flew forward.

In the instant he rushed past Chen Jie's corpse, he flicked the tip of his halberd.

Chen Jie's corpse was flung out, blocking the people who were rushing back.

Li Canglan got up, grimacing in pain.

The flame tiger's attack power was truly impressive.

Taking this palm strike, if not for his superior Physique, it would have been truly unbearable.

Of course, the most fatal part was the raging flames that acted like bone-sticking fire, continuously burning at the wound.

While causing damage, it also affected Li Canglan's movements.

"Roar!"

The flame tiger roared angrily and charged toward Li Canglan again.

It wanted to press the advantage and defeat him.

Li Canglan's gaze narrowed, his palms pushing outward.

The condensed wind vortex transformed into a sweeping gale.

Swish!

It blew, making the flames on the flame tiger's body burn even more intensely.

Following closely behind were six bolts of thunder!

Full-power Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders!

Bang!

The exploding thunder blasted a huge hole in the flame tiger's body.

However, this flame tiger was not a living thing after all.

Even if damaged, it did not affect its ability to fight.

Li Canglan held his fangtian halberd and slashed down with full force using Thunderbolt Slash.

The fangtian halberd slashed out a purple-blue blade of light.

Swish!

This strike cut the flame tiger into two, starting from between its brows.

The flame tiger, dead!

"Pfft!"

Suffering from the backlash, Zhu Yufang spat out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly turning pale.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Her face was filled with an expression of disbelief.

This flame tiger was not just a simple ability.

It was her life-bound ability!

Once it died, it would require consuming a massive amount of energy to condense it again.

And it would also trigger a backlash on herself.

Relying on the flame tiger, Zhu Yufang had been invincible in battles against Two-Star Martial Artists.

She had never lost a single battle!

In fact, the vast majority were crushing victories.

But today, she had actually lost?

And lost so thoroughly.

"Zhuzhu, run quickly."

The other few people gritted their teeth, raised their weapons, and charged up.

Zhu Yufang was an Ability User and also one of the pillars of humanity's future!

They could die, but Zhu Yufang cannot die!

Zhu Yufang took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it directly.

After taking a deep look at them, she fled frantically.

One day, she would definitely avenge them!

Li Canglan smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose.

"You guys are acting like I'm the villain?"

It was clearly these people who stole his monster, and even wanted to take the loot.

Not only that, even after the falling out, it was Zhu Yufang who attacked first.

Yet, this group of guys all acted so righteous.

And he ended up becoming the villain?

Where is the logic in that?

The group had already charged to his front.

Li Canglan brandished his fangtian halberd, the shaft of the halberd striking the person holding the staff.

That person's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly held his staff horizontally in front to block.

Bang!

That person only felt a violent shock in his arms, unable to hold onto his battle staff.

The battle staff smashed back against his chest, sending him flying directly.

The sound of bones breaking rang out from his chest, which caved in significantly.

He spat out mouthfuls of blood and collapsed on the ground, looking like he had more breath going out than coming in.

The other two people's expressions changed drastically.

Even with his Martial Skill unleashed, his companion couldn't even withstand one strike of the opponent's halberd!

While their thoughts were in disarray, the tip of Li Canglan's halberd flicked away the other person's weapon.

Then, his palm erupted with brilliant thunder, blasting toward the other person.

He himself performed an Iron Mountain Lean.

That person's pupils bulged, and he went flying backward while spitting blood.

The last person remaining, who had been so righteous before.

But when it truly came to this moment, the emotion of fear flooded his brain.

He took out a bead and threw it at Li Canglan.

Boom!

The bead exploded the moment it hit the ground.

It blasted a giant crater with a diameter of over ten meters into the ground.

The splashed-up dirt obscured Li Canglan's vision.

"People from higher learning institutions sure have many things."

After the dirt settled, Li Canglan quickly gave chase.

This student's proficiency in movement-type Martial Skills was extremely low.

He simply couldn't compare to Li Canglan, who had a wind element talent and highly proficient Stepping Wind Steps.

Not long after, Li Canglan easily caught up to him.

That person's expression was terrified, and he erupted with all his strength to slash with his blade.

Li Canglan flicked his fangtian halberd, easily deflecting the opponent's weapon.

Then he thrust forward!

Chh!

In the opponent's unwilling gaze, the halberd blade pierced his heart.

Li Canglan pulled out the fangtian halberd, and the person's body slowly went limp.

Li Canglan stepped forward and searched him briefly.

He tossed everything that could be used into his spatial ring.

Immediately after, he changed direction and chased in the direction Zhu Yufang had fled.

Zhu Yufang relied on her transcendent status as an Ability User and the fact that she was always surrounded by people fawning over her.

She simply hadn't learned any movement-type Martial Skills.

Plus, an Ability User's physical fitness was inherently slightly inferior to a Martial Artist's.

With Zhu Yufang also being injured, her speed was extremely slow.

Before she could run back to the encampment, a whistling wind sounded from behind her.

Hearing those rapid footsteps, Zhu Yufang's brow twitched.

"Damn it, can't this group of trash Martial Artists even manage to stall for time?"

Whoosh!

A violent sound of wind breaking came, and Zhu Yufang was instantly terrified.

She turned around and fired off a Fireball Technique.

Bang!

The fangtian halberd instantly pierced through the fireball and stabbed into Zhu Yufang's calf.

Pinning her to the ground!
