9: Chapter 9 The End of the Bloodbath
"Oh no! She's going to risk it all!"
Liu Tai realized the blood race before him was performing a blood-burning secret technique, and he was greatly alarmed.
He immediately flew forward, gathering all his True Qi into his two fingers. Suddenly, a brilliant cyan light erupted, trailing a stream of light behind him.
"Go."
The Silver-haired Girl slowly raised her slender, pale palm and suddenly pressed it downward.
The wave constructed from the Flying Sword swept down like a swarm of locusts passing through, and it looked as if it would completely swallow Liu Tai's thin figure!
"Qingyuan Wall!"
Liu Tai pressed his two fingers together, and a massive, dark green barrier appeared out of thin air a few meters in front of him, colliding violently with the surging blood-colored wave.
Instantly, the latter was like a lake surface into which countless pebbles had been thrown; ripples spread out continuously, while Liu Tai's legs trembled, and cracks spread from the ground beneath his feet.
Given his speed, he could have completely avoided this attack.
However, if he dodged, Chen Moxuan behind him, as well as Ma Jingyuan and the other two who were still healing, would be torn to shreds by the wave of Flying Swords.
The students in the audience behind them would not be spared, resulting in massive casualties.
Helpless, he had to block every single Flying Sword, forced into a brute-force collision with the Silver-haired Girl.
Yet, in terms of brute force, how could a member of the Human Race be a match for the blood race? After performing the blood-burning secret technique, the Silver-haired Girl's total blood energy was more than double Liu Tai's total True Qi!
"All students, disperse immediately!"
The roar, with Qi sunk into his Dantian, echoed throughout the arena, and veins bulged on Liu Tai's face.
"Run!"
"Don't step on my foot!"
Hearing Liu Tai's shout, the students in the audience, who were still dazed, finally reacted and stood up, intending to flee.
The situation changed in a very short time.
It wasn't until they felt the terrifying power within the Flying Swords that most people realized things were bad.
With so many Flying Swords, if Liu Tai, who was in the front, didn't hold them off, everyone in this area would die!
People began to surge forward in a scramble; panic spread rapidly like a virus, and fear and a desire for survival shone in everyone's eyes.
In that instant, the audience seats, which had been relatively orderly, suddenly turned into a chaotic ocean.
Watching the large group of students in front of the wave of Flying Swords who hadn't evacuated yet, Flying Swords were continuously generated from the Void Realm, crashing into the dark green barrier one after another.
The light of the cyan barrier gradually dimmed, and Liu Tai was pushed backward by the blood wave, about to be unable to hold on.
If this continued, the students behind who hadn't evacuated would surely suffer countless casualties.
But if he continued to force himself and exhausted all his True Qi, he would be severely injured once the barrier shattered, perhaps even losing his life at the hands of the blood race.
Everyone fears death, even Liu Tai, who had lived for over sixty years.
"I've blocked them for long enough, haven't I..."
He had already done enough; even if these students survived, how many could reach the Tiangang Realm?
If he fell now, no one in the arena would be able to confront the blood race before them, and the Human Race would lose a Tiangang Realm Great Master.
If he avoided the brunt of the attack now, he could quickly recover his True Qi in a short time with his secret technique.
A trace of hesitation appeared in Liu Tai's heart, and he gradually reduced his True Qi output, wanting to save enough energy to withdraw the barrier and dodge.
Suddenly, Liu Tai felt three streams of True Qi from the outside world surge in from behind, helping him restore his True Qi.
Without needing to look back, he knew from the aura that it was Ma Jingyuan and the other two.
Not waiting for their injuries to stabilize, they barely gathered their Qi and reached out to press against Liu Tai's back, injecting their True Qi.
"What are you doing? Do you want to die?!" Liu Tai shouted to stop them.
The time he had held on was enough for the three of them to evacuate, but now that they had come to transfer True Qi to him, if he couldn't hold on, they would inevitably be swept into the sword wave.
He might still be able to protect himself, but these three would surely die!
"The students haven't all left yet; every bit of time we can buy counts!" The teacher from Jiangshui Martial Arts School looked determined.
"My daughter will be five next year; she is truly adorable." Teacher Xu said something obscure, gritting his teeth to increase his True Qi output.
"I picked up my life on the battlefield back then; it's time to use it." Ma Jingyuan's eyes flickered, as if recalling bits and pieces of the past.
"Good... good, today this old bone of mine will give it all!"
Liu Tai was overcome with shame for his previous thoughts and said no more. His True Qi surged all over his body, and the barrier, which was originally tottering and nearly transparent, stabilized once again.
At this moment, he had bound his life to the three of them, outputting True Qi to the point of near-exhaustion. If he couldn't hold on, he would have no defensive means and would be torn to shreds by the Flying Swords in an instant.
"Tsk."
The situation of being unable to break through after a long attack made the Silver-haired Girl quite irritated.
She seemed to have underestimated how troublesome the "humans" before her were; even by sparing no cost to her Origin to perform the secret technique, she couldn't take them down quickly.
If she dragged it out any longer, she might attract that most troublesome Human Race unit, and then she would have no chance to personally kill the hateful humans who had caused all of this.
Hmm? Where is that "human"?
She had previously been fully focused on performing the Blood Curse Technique, and only until now did she notice that Chen Moxuan, who had been behind Liu Tai, was nowhere to be found.
"Are you looking for me?"
A familiar and hateful voice came from behind the girl.
"When did you..."
The girl turned around abruptly, her voice cutting off.
The Thunder Shock Punch, which had reached Perfection, was unleashed again, striking the girl's chest.
"The core, it's in this position, right."
With the help of the True Qi Liu Tai had previously injected into his body, his qi and blood and spirit had partially recovered.
[All-Things Calculation] began to run again, having analyzed the spot where the energy fluctuated most when the girl performed the Blood Curse Technique.
Back when he first awakened his Special Ability in his original world, Chen Moxuan had taken the time to analyze and study all the books he was interested in that he could find online.
Among them was a book on psychology that recorded a technique to guide a person's line of sight and eliminate one's own sense of presence.
Compared to Liu Tai, Ma Jingyuan, and the others, his aura was truly too weak. Coupled with this technique, it ultimately allowed Chen Moxuan to arrive behind the girl without anyone noticing.
This punch didn't contain much qi and blood; even if all the girl's blood energy was used on the Flying Sword attack, it wouldn't pose a threat to her.
However, the Perfection-level Thunder Shock Punch contained a special vibration force.
This vibration force invaded the Silver-haired Girl's body, reaching her blood energy core, causing her to lose control of the Blood Curse Technique for a moment.
This instant was enough to turn the tide of the battle.
"Chance!"
The Flying Swords in the Void Realm were no longer generated and replenished in time, and the wave of Flying Swords, like a flood without a source, lost its subsequent impact.
Sensing the offensive suddenly weaken, Liu Tai unleashed all his power, pushing the energy barrier violently forward.
Liu Tai transformed into a dark green rainbow, instantly swallowing the blood-colored torrent, and tapped one finger on the girl's back.
"Pfft."
A mouthful of essence blood sprayed from the girl's mouth, splashing all over the chest of Chen Moxuan, who was standing in front of her.
The girl's aura instantly withered, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
The person she wished to tear to pieces was right in front of her, yet she couldn't kill him with her own hands immediately.
With her current injuries, she had no chance to make a move in front of Liu Tai again.
"I must perform the Blood Evasion Technique and leave!"
The girl's body suddenly began to twist and flow, instantly turning into a pool of blood, crashing a large hole in the ceiling at an astonishing speed, and flying outward.
"Want to run?"
Liu Tai stepped on the air repeatedly, treading on the ripples condensed at the soles of his feet, and immediately chased after her through the large hole.
"Chen Moxuan!"
Not far away, Ma Jingyuan shouted as he ran over.
The Thunder Shock Punch he had just performed had drained Chen Moxuan's remaining qi and blood strength, and his forced spirit had long since exceeded its limit.
Chen Moxuan finally saw black before his eyes, and his body tilted forward.
"Finally, I can rest for a while..."
Two days later, in a hospital ward somewhere in Dongchang City.
"That blood race kept fleeing for a day and a night, but in the end, she was still surrounded and wiped out by Great Master Liu Tai and the Tianyuan Army in the northern suburbs of the city."
"Worried that the blood race still had hidden means, the Tianyuan Army spent another day investigating, and only left after confirming that there were no more blood energy fluctuations."
Chen Moxuan listened quietly as a boy as sturdy as a black ox, who was in front of him, recounted the story with great excitement.
Even now, hearing that the Devil Head had been wiped out, there was still a sense of unreality in his heart.
He had been in a coma for two days and had only just woken up not long ago.
Just like when he woke up in the hospital after the car accident in the Superpower World, the first person he saw was his classmate and good buddy, Peng Jie.
Only, it was a thickened and strengthened version.
"The doctor said you just had excessive consumption, and after waking up, you can be discharged if there are no problems."
"Teacher Ma wants you to go to his office after you wake up; he seems all mysterious, but I overheard him talking to someone from the military."
"It is said that the military mentioned this time that you made a great contribution by helping to catch the alien race undercover agent, and they are going to give you a grade a blood qi essence as a reward."
"A grade a blood qi essence?" Chen Moxuan's eyes lit up.
