20: The whole city!

Chu Yuan stood up abruptly and smashed his fist against the nearby wall.

The wall plaster peeled away, and streaks of blood-red patterns came into his view.

"Teacher, are the patterns of the Energy Gathering Array supposed to look like this?"

"Of course not! This is..." Panic appeared in Huang Bo's eyes; he realized that something had gone terribly wrong.

"Quick! Get out! Do not stay in the classroom!"

However, apart from him, who still barely had the ability to move, the rest of the students had already been unable to hold on and were sitting on the floor.

Huang Bo tried to lift his foot, only to find that it was as if his feet had taken root and were stuck into the ground.

The dense blood-red patterns were pulling at him...

Chu Yuan smashed his fist toward those blood-red patterns again, and it was as if blood splattered up as he smashed them to pieces.

But before he could even heave a sigh of relief, the blood-red patterns were restored to their original state by energy from an unknown source.

The strength of this thing wasn't outrageously high, but the repair speed was simply too fast!

Chu Yuan didn't intend to waste time struggling with it; he flashed to the front of the classroom door and kicked the door to pieces.

Immediately after, he condensed his spiritual energy and severed the blood-red patterns beneath Huang Bo's feet!

"Teacher, get out first!"

Huang Bo originally wanted to speak up and ask him to save the students first, but seeing that Chu Yuan had rushed toward Yang Yi without waiting for him to speak, he shut his mouth.

As soon as he stepped out of the classroom and steadied himself, a figure was thrown over.

Huang Bo caught it and discovered it was Yang Yi.

Before he had time to speak, another figure was tossed over.

He casually dropped Yang Yi onto the ground and went to catch the next one...

Chu Yuan's actions were extremely swift; in just one minute, he had tossed all the classmates out of the classroom, piling them densely in the corridor.

Afterward, he ran out himself.

The consumption wasn't great; those blood-red patterns seemed somewhat vulnerable before his spiritual energy.

If the backup plan Yan Xuan had arranged was merely this, then his plans for today would fall through!

"Chu Yuan! Do you still have strength?"

"Yes."

"Go and help the other classes." Huang Bo's tone was not a command, but a plea.

This Energy Gathering Array had been tampered with and turned into something unknown; by the time the blood-red patterns were discovered, it was already too late.

Although he didn't know why Chu Yuan wasn't affected, now wasn't the time to ask about that.

"Alright." Chu Yuan agreed immediately, kicked open the classroom of Class 1 next door, and saw a pile of students collapsed on the floor...

In fact, it wasn't just Chu Yuan who knew; Huang Bo knew too.

Relying on Chu Yuan alone, it was impossible to save everyone.

According to the absorption speed of the blood-red patterns, students who had not yet entered the Qi and Blood Realm would be sucked into dried corpses in just five minutes!

There simply wasn't enough time!

There were thousands of students at the First High School, and there were a full twelve senior year classes that had the Energy Gathering Array installed!

Even if Chu Yuan cleared one classroom per minute, he would need at least twelve minutes!

And this amount of time was enough for the students who hadn't entered the Qi and Blood Realm to die twice over, with time to spare...

...

Qi Da suddenly turned his head to look to one side.

Huang Bo's body leaned out from the outer wall of the corridor and shouted: "Principal! There is a problem with the Energy Gathering Array, but Chu Yuan saved us all! He has a way to break this thing!"

He didn't know if this information would be helpful to Qi Da, but at the very least, he had to tell him!

Qi Da's eyes brightened; Chu Yuan actually had this ability?

Looking back at Yan Xuan, who was also somewhat stunned, Qi Da roared, "Yan Xuan!"

His body suddenly turned into an afterimage, descending from the sky, and he slashed down with a leg.

Violent gale winds howled, like a sharp axe splitting a mountain!

Yan Xuan raised his arms to block it, but with a booming sound, his body was smashed deep into the earth!

Leaving only a huge crater in place...

However...

Under Qi Da's peripheral vision, he saw Huang Bo in the distance suddenly collapse, as if he had died of a sudden heart attack!

"..."

Qi Da reacted quickly and immediately understood the key point.

It was likely that Chu Yuan had not broken the Blood Sucking Array.

The marks that the Blood Sucking Array had already placed on Huang Bo and the others had not been cleared!

But this couldn't be blamed on Huang Bo; after all, he was only in the Inner Breath Realm, his experience was still lacking, and he had never even seen a Blood Sucking Array before.

"Haha, Teacher Huang is truly humorous..." Yan Xuan crawled out of the crater again and sneered.

"Principal, you are indeed valiant; that kick of yours just now killed at least ten of your own good students... Tsk tsk."

He made no defense, but Qi Da only had a gloomy expression and dared not attack again.

These rebels were troublesome precisely because of this!

Their overt combat power was definitely no match for the Zhenwu Bureau, yet they could always come up with disgusting methods!

In fact, Yan Xuan was also a bit confused; all the Energy Gathering Arrays in the senior year classrooms had long been modified by him. Logically speaking, after activation, no one should have been able to escape, right?

After all, that place could be considered a 'Formation eye'.

The lethality was naturally even greater!

But listening to Huang Bo's meaning, that Chu Yuan could actually get rid of the influence of the Blood Sucking Array, and even save people?

Just at this moment, the sky seemed to turn red all of a sudden.

Qi Da looked up subconsciously and saw five blood-red beams of light shooting into the sky from within Chenyang City! They radiated an eerie and ominous aura!

Yan Xuan also looked up, the expression on his face becoming fanatical!

"Principal! I am waiting for them to activate the Formation... What are you waiting for?"

Accompanied by a sneer, with Yan Xuan's body as the center, a blood-red beam of light also shot into the sky!

Qi Da's eyelids trembled, and he felt his hands and feet go cold.

"A secondary Formation..."

He finally realized that he had underestimated the ambition of Yan Xuan and the people behind him!

He originally thought that the other party just wanted to cause destruction at the First High School, but now Qi Da realized;

Their goal was actually a blood sacrifice... of the entire Chenyang City!

"You are crazy... Even if Chenyang City falls! You will definitely die!"

"You will face the pursuit of Seventh Realm or even Eighth Realm powerhouses!"

"Heh~ What's the use? Even if a Ninth Realm powerhouse comes personally... won't the people of Chenyang City still be dead?" Yan Xuan didn't care about Qi Da's threat at all.

The great Formation had been completely activated; next, he only needed to honestly serve as the Formation eye.

Qi Da dared not attack him, because if he attacked him, the damage would be borne by the teachers and students of the First High School inside the Blood Sucking Array!

But if Qi Da didn't take action against him, the people within the range covered by the Blood Sucking Array would still be unable to escape death!

And communication in Chenyang City had been cut off the moment they took action! The authorities had no way to receive the news immediately, so naturally, no powerhouses would come to support!

By the time the authorities discovered the abnormality in Chenyang City... this place would likely have already turned into a dead city!

"Principal, kowtow to me;

For every one you kowtow, I will release one person, how about that?" Yan Xuan said mockingly: "If you kowtow fast enough... maybe you can save several hundred people?"
