115: Chapter 115 The Beast Tide Gets Out of Control Again
On the left flank of the battlefield, Gou Fugui, Xiang Batian, Lu Xingye, and Su Nuonuo formed a diamond formation with extreme tacit understanding.
Facing the group of Third-Order Iron-Armored Rhinos and Demonized Lizards charging from the front, Gou Fugui, who stood at the very center, did not show the slightest panic.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, pulled a stack of still-burning Great Xia currency from his bosom, and a glint typical of a profiteer flashed in his eyes:
"I bid three thousand!"
Gou Fugui suddenly threw the burning banknotes in his hand toward the herd of beasts in the air and shouted loudly:
"I'm buying out the sense of balance of all you demonic beasts!"
"Hum!"
An invisible wave instantly enveloped the herd of stampeding demonic beasts.
The Iron-Armored Rhino herd, which had been charging in formation with aggressive momentum, suddenly began to stumble as if they had drunk fake liquor.
The ones on the left crashed into the ones on the right, the ones in the back trampled the ones in front, and one lizard, having lost its sense of balance, even slid along the ground with its belly facing up, spinning around like a headless fly.
"Now! Do it!" Gou Fugui roared.
"Copy that!"
Su Nuonuo, who had been ready and waiting, giggled and pulled an exaggeratedly styled Gatling machine gun out of her teddy bear's mouth.
"Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!"
Tongues of fire spat out as a barrage of blue spiritual energy bullets poured out like a rainstorm.
Those demonic beasts that had lost their balance and were huddled together had no way to dodge; they were instantly blasted until their skin was torn and flesh mangled, emitting continuous screams.
Immediately following, a black afterimage killed its way out from the flank.
Lu Xingye held an alloy dagger; although he didn't speak, his eyes were incomparably sharp.
Taking advantage of the chaos among the demonic beasts, his movement was like lightning, specifically targeting those lizards that had been blasted onto their backs.
Blade light flashed repeatedly, and every strike precisely pierced the throat or Heart of a demonic beast.
Blood sprayed like a fountain, quickly pooling into a small puddle on the muddy ground.
Meanwhile, Xiang Batian, who stood at the very front of the diamond formation, pushed forward like a bulldozer.
His muscles gleamed with a metallic luster, and he completely ignored the biting of the smaller demonic beasts, grabbing the horn of an Iron-Armored Rhino that was still dazed and confused.
"Get... out of the way!"
Xiang Batian let out an angry roar, exerted strength through both arms, and actually lifted the thousand-jin heavy rhino high above his head, then fiercely smashed it toward the herd behind him like throwing a bowling ball!
"Boom!"
The demonic beasts hit by the rhino's massive body instantly had their bones broken and tendons snapped, flying backward while screaming, forcibly smashing a huge gap in the dense herd.
The surrounding demonic beasts were intimidated by this terrifying power, and their charging momentum stalled.
The beast tide that had originally struck terror into people's Hearts was actually being harvested in swathes before them like cutting grass!
...
Compared to the flashy display from Class F, Teacher Shen Qing in the center of the battlefield interpreted what true combat power suppression meant.
"Swish!"
A ten-meter-long blood-colored blade glow swept out horizontally.
Teacher Shen Qing held a long blade, her body wreathed in blood energy, and she appeared like an Asura descended upon the world.
Wherever she passed, whether it was a Second-Order or Third-Order demonic beast, they were sliced into two by the terrifying blade energy before they could even let out a scream!
Peak Fourth-Order strength was an invincible existence in the face of these low-order beast tides!
"Splat!"
Teacher Shen Qing slashed open a Fourth-Order early-stage Yama Spider that attempted to ambush her, and the blood splattered onto her red windbreaker, making her look even more bewitching and dangerous.
"Roar..."
The originally frenzied herd, under the slaughter of this killing god, Teacher Shen Qing, actually began to feel fear, and their offensive slowed down significantly.
The students from other classes nearby saw this scene, and their originally desperate mood was instantly ignited.
"Too strong! Teacher Shen is too strong!"
"We can win! As long as Teacher Shen is here, these demonic beasts won't be able to break in at all!"
"Everyone hold on! Victory is right before our eyes!"
Cheers rose one after another, and everyone thought that this sudden crisis was about to be resolved.
However.
Just at the moment when Teacher Shen Qing had just killed a giant beast, with her old strength spent and new strength not yet generated.
An unexpected change occurred!
From the rear flank, a seemingly ordinary, even somewhat lame, Second-Order Rotten Bone Wolf, mixed in with the herd, silently pounced toward Teacher Shen Qing's back.
Teacher Shen Qing wouldn't even glance at such a low-order demonic beast under normal circumstances, able to slice it in two with a casual strike of her blade.
But at the very instant this Rotten Bone Wolf leaped.
The originally rotting flesh on its back suddenly squirmed eerily, and a distorted human face actually emerged!
That human face directed an extremely eerie smile at Teacher Shen Qing's back.
"Hmm?"
The intuition of a powerhouse made the hairs on the back of Teacher Shen Qing's neck stand up.
She turned her head abruptly.
She happened to see that smiling face growing on the wolf's back.
That physiological discomfort and mental shock caused Teacher Shen Qing to be slightly stunned for a moment.
"Now!"
In the void, an extremely faint low shout rang out.
Under the cover of the Rotten Bone Wolf's figure, the air that was originally empty suddenly distorted.
Three poison darts, pitch-black as ink with tips flickering with a ghostly blue light, shot toward Teacher Shen Qing's three major vital points—the center of her brow, her throat, and her Heart—at an extremely tricky angle in a " product" shape formation!
The distance was too close!
The speed was too fast!
The person who made the move was an expert extremely skilled in concealment and assassination!
"Despicable!"
Teacher Shen Qing's pupils constricted sharply.
In this critical moment, she displayed terrifying combat proficiency.
"Blood Rainbow, activate!"
"Boom!"
A wave of blood-colored energy, several times more violent than before, instantly erupted from her body!
The long blade in her hand seemed to have gained life, transforming into a blood-colored barrier, forcibly placed horizontally in front of her at an impossible angle.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Three crisp sounds.
The three lethal poison darts were precisely knocked away by the blade body, sparks splashing everywhere!
But it wasn't over yet!
Utilizing the counter-shock force from the parry, Teacher Shen Qing's figure did not retreat but advanced instead, and the long blade in her hand turned along with the momentum, slashing fiercely toward the void from where the poison darts had been shot with the force of a thunderbolt!
"Get out here!"
"Rip—"
The void was torn apart.
A semi-transparent figure tumbled out of the air in a sorry state; it was none other than Plum Blossom Three of the Wusheng Divine Sect!
Although he blocked this strike, he was shaken to the point where the web between his thumb and index finger went numb, and he retreated several steps, his eyes filled with shock:
"Such fast reflexes! As expected of the female devil of Magic City Martial Arts University!"
Teacher Shen Qing sneered, pointing her long blade at the ground, murderous aura surging:
"Peak Fourth-Order?"
"A guy who hides his head and shows his tail, and you dare to ambush me?"
Plum Blossom Three steadied his figure, producing two poison-coated daggers in his hands, and a sinister smile appeared on his face:
"Hehe, Teacher Shen has good skills."
"However, who told you... that there was only me?"
Before the words had faded.
"Splat!"
That Second-Order Rotten Bone Wolf that had just attracted Teacher Shen Qing's attention suddenly shook its whole body, and immediately after, an illusory figure violently broke free from within the wolf's body!
That figure's speed was astonishingly fast, almost turning into an afterimage, and with a flash of cold light in its hand, a short blade flickering with ghostly green toxic light stabbed directly at Teacher Shen Qing's back Heart!
Diamond Five!
He had used the [Biological Possession] ability to hide inside this wolf the whole time, just for this moment of a finishing blow!
"Die!"
Diamond Five let out a strange cry, and the poison-coated short blade cut through the air, carrying a foul scent of death, now less than half a foot away from Teacher Shen Qing's back Heart!
Pincer attack from front and back!
An ambush by two Peak Fourth-Order experts!
"You're courting death!"
Teacher Shen Qing did not look back, but held her blade with one hand, still locking onto Plum Blossom Three, while simultaneously striking backward with her left elbow, and the blood-colored energy wave around her body transformed into a tangible blood-colored giant tiger, biting toward Diamond Five behind her!
"Boom!"
Three powerful forces collided in the center of the battlefield, and the energy wave overturned all the low-order demonic beasts nearby.
The smoke and dust dissipated.
Teacher Shen Qing stood alone with her blade, proudly standing on the spot; although her hair was slightly messy, her momentum had not diminished in the slightest.
And in front and behind her, Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five formed a pincer formation, locking her firmly in the middle.
"Two Peak Fourth-Order?"
Teacher Shen Qing narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the two, and finally landing on Diamond Five's severed hand that was still wrapped in bandages, a mocking curve hooking the corner of her mouth:
"One invisible man who hides his head and shows his tail, and one dwarf with a severed hand."
"Just based on you two pieces of trash, you want to kill me?"
Diamond Five was poked in his sore spot and was immediately so angry he shrieked:
"You stinking woman! You're still talking tough when death is at your doorstep!"
"Third Brother! Don't waste your breath on her! Let's go together! Exhaust her to death!"
Plum Blossom Three also had a gloomy expression:
"Do it!"
Instantly, the three of them were locked in battle once again!
Teacher Shen Qing fought two opponents alone; although she had the slight upper hand, because she had to guard against their endless underhanded tricks and strange Supernatural Abilities, she was unable to secure victory for the moment.
And having lost the suppression of Teacher Shen Qing, the strongest combatant, the surrounding beast tide...
Had spiraled out of control again!
