119: Chapter 119 I prefer the title "Great Demon" to "Grandmaster"!
Jiang You chuckled, not bothering to expose his tsundere roommate's concern, and turned his head to look at Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian.
Gou Fugui pushed up his glasses; although he tried his best to maintain the composure of a profiteer, his hand holding the abacus trembled slightly, betraying him:
"Ahem, Brother Jiang, it's good that you're back."
"Um... just now everyone thought you were dead, and we were preparing to crowdfund a coffin for you."
"Since you didn't die, I'll just keep this crowdfunding money... for safekeeping for you!"
Xiang Batian rushed up directly and gave Jiang You a bear hug, almost crushing Jiang You's ribs:
"Brother Jiang! I knew you were hard to kill!"
"Although your muscles are flabby, your bones are truly hard!"
"Did that Faceless Man do anything to you? Did he slice you up for research?"
Jiang You was squeezed until he rolled his eyes and struggled to pat Xiang Batian's back:
"Let... let go... I'm going to break..."
"Also... what Faceless Man? Was that the guy who threw me into the river!"
...
However, before they could catch up.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The heavy footsteps made the earth tremble again.
Opposite them, Plum Blossom Three was not in a hurry to launch an attack.
He stood on a towering rock, the green scales in his hand emitting an eerie glow.
Under his command, the two previously scattered beast tides began to slowly converge.
A pitch-black mass, covering the mountains and plains, endless to the eye.
The sky was obscured by Demonic Eagles, and the ground was filled with Demonic Wolves and giant beasts.
Those pairs of scarlet eyes flickered in the mist, and the violent aura they emitted gathered into a tangible pressure, like a great mountain, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts.
Suffocation.
Despair.
This was already an absolute crushing in terms of numbers.
Plum Blossom Three looked down from above at the pitiful Magic City Martial Arts University camp surrounded in the middle, a cruel smile like a cat playing with a mouse on his face:
"Teacher Shen Qing, and all other teachers."
"Are you still going to continue your desperate resistance?"
Plum Blossom Three spread his arms, showing off the army of beasts behind him that blotted out the sky:
"Look at this lineup!"
"This is all the fierce beasts in the entire Mist Swamp!"
"I know you are strong, but what about the students behind you?"
"If a real fight breaks out, you might be able to run, but these thousands of tender students... hehe, I'm afraid not a single one will survive, right?"
His voice became cold and seductive:
"Surrender!"
"Our goal is not to kill; we just want to leave here safely!"
"As long as you capture yourselves, obediently act as our hostages, I swear in the name of the Wusheng Divine Sect that I will never take your lives!"
"Otherwise..."
Plum Blossom Three suddenly waved his palm downward, and the herd of beasts behind him let out a uniform roar:
"Once the war starts, it will be a river of blood! When the students die, can you bear the responsibility?"
This was an open conspiracy. It was also the most vicious psychological warfare.
In the Class A defense line, many students had already begun to break down and cry, unable to even hold their weapons steady.
Even the few teachers leading the team were looking at each other, their eyes revealing hesitation.
Fight? How to fight? This is a certain death trap!
Teacher Shen Qing stood at the very front, her red trench coat flapping in the wind.
She did not answer Plum Blossom Three, only gripping the long sword in her hand tightly, her knuckles turning white from excessive force.
Her gaze was locked onto the beast tide opposite, but her heart was icy cold.
She knew very well. Surrender is impossible.
Handing over the lives of thousands of students to these terrorists would be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
But not surrendering... with the current strength, they couldn't block this general attack at all.
"Hoo..." Teacher Shen Qing exhaled a breath of turbid air, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes.
"It seems, I can only use that."
Her left hand slowly reached toward the spatial ring she had been wearing on her hand.
There, lay a golden token quietly — [Principal's Order].
This was the final trump card Principal Pang Ban had given her.
Teacher Shen Qing's fingers hooked sharply, and a golden, gleaming token instantly appeared in her palm.
A vast aura belonging to a Tier 5 Grandmaster faintly seeped out from the token!
Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five saw the token, and their expressions changed drastically:
"Not good! It's a Grandmaster's Order!"
"Quick, stop her!!"
However, Teacher Shen Qing's movements were extremely fast; her fingers had already exerted force, about to crush the token!
Just at this critical moment.
"Hiss—"
A cold, slippery voice, like a poisonous snake crawling against her eardrum, sounded extremely abruptly in Teacher Shen Qing's ear:
"Finally... waited for you to take this thing out."
Teacher Shen Qing's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle points!
There was actually an enemy near her? When did they get close?
She didn't have time to think; her instinctive combat intuition made her subconsciously slash backward with her sword, while her other hand wanted to crush the Principal's Order in her hand.
However, it was all too late.
A large hand covered in fine, dark-green scales, with fingernails as sharp as knives, seemed to reach out from the void, nonchalantly passing through Teacher Shen Qing's sword defense.
"Snap!"
That hand accurately clamped onto Teacher Shen Qing's wrist holding the token.
Immediately after, a terrifying, suffocating force came!
"Crack!"
Teacher Shen Qing only felt a sharp pain in her wrist, half her body instantly paralyzed, and the Principal's Order in her hand slipped out and fell into that scaled hand.
"What!"
Teacher Shen Qing was shocked, enduring the sharp pain, and used both hands to hold the sword in defense, attempting to snatch back the token.
However. That black shadow just sneered.
"Get lost."
A simple word. The black shadow turned around, nonchalantly raised a foot, and delivered an unadorned side kick.
"Bang!!!"
This kick was so fast that not even an afterimage could be seen!
Teacher Shen Qing's long sword had just been raised when it was kicked bent by a terrifying force like a mountain collapsing!
Immediately after, that force passed through the sword body and slammed heavily onto Teacher Shen Qing's body.
"Pfft—!!!"
Teacher Shen Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, her whole body like a cannonball hit by heavy artillery, instantly flying backward!
She broke three large trees in succession and finally smashed heavily onto a boulder, shattering the boulder into pieces!
"Teacher Shen!!!"
The whole audience gasped. Everyone was stunned by this scene.
That invincible female devil in their hearts, that Peak Fourth-Order Teacher Shen Qing... was actually defeated in one move?
The dust settled. That mysterious black shadow slowly revealed its form from the void.
Dressed in a black robe, with a sinister face and vertical pupils.
He played with the golden Principal's Order he had just snatched in his hand, a mocking sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Tier... Tier 5..."
Teacher Shen Qing, lying in the ruins, struggled to lift her head, looking at the black-robed man, her eyes full of shock:
"You are a Tier 5 Grandmaster!"
The black-robed man smiled slightly, his vertical pupils scanning the audience, and a terrifying pressure belonging to a Tier 5 Great Demon descended like the sky collapsing!
Thump! Thump! Countless students couldn't withstand this pressure and knelt directly to the ground.
"Grandmaster? Hmph..."
"That is your human title... I prefer you to call me 'Great Demon'!"
Poison Python spread his arms, as if embracing this upcoming slaughter feast:
"Let me introduce myself. This seat is the Bone-Eroding Venomous Python."
"The true... king here."
