134: Chapter 134 Great! It's Principal Pang! We're saved!

Beside him, Lu Xingye was deathly pale, his hand gripping the dagger trembling violently, his knuckles white from the excessive force.

He had always prided himself as a genius, believing that no one among his peers could surpass him; he would even dare to draw his blade against Teacher Shen Qing.

But at this moment, watching that figure who resembled a god or demon, he felt for the first time what it truly meant to have a "gap" in strength.

"Is this... what a true powerhouse is?"

Lu Xingye muttered to himself, a bitter taste lingering on his lips.

"Clang!"

The dagger in his hand slipped halfway, but the moment it was about to hit the ground, he gripped it tightly once more!

He gripped it tighter than ever before!

Even though the sharp blade cut into his palm and blood flowed through his fingers, he didn't even notice.

The confusion and despair in his eyes were, at this moment, burned away by a raging fire called "ambition."

"No..."

Lu Xingye took a deep breath, staring fixedly at the black-clad back standing at the edge of the deep pit, his eyes becoming unprecedentedly intense and crazed:

"So, there really is someone in this world who can be this strong."

"Since someone can do it, then why can't I, Lu Xingye, do it too!"

He slowly raised the dagger in his hand, pointing it from afar at that invincible figure. Although his arm was still trembling, it was a tremor born of extreme excitement:

"Very good."

"Faceless Man, right?"

"You have successfully caught my attention."

"From today on, you are the goal I will pursue for the rest of my life, Lu Xingye!"

"One day, I will use my blade to take that strike of yours! And even... sever it!"

The person most on the verge of a breakdown was none other than Plum Blossom Three, who was sprawled in the mud not far away.

He was reduced to a puddle of mush, looking at his great backer who had been beaten until his head was smashed open and lay at the bottom of the pit like a dead dog; his mental state had completely shattered.

"Is this the thigh we were supposed to hug? Is this the trump card we were going to use to threaten Magic City Martial Arts University?"

"How is he as brittle as paper in front of this masked man?"

Plum Blossom Three's teeth chattered. Watching that god-like man in black, only one thought remained in his mind:

It's over!

This time, he had truly kicked a titanium alloy steel plate.

This is just too bullying!

What kind of school sends a monster of this level to act as a nanny for special training?

This makes absolutely no sense!

Just as everyone was so intimidated that they didn't dare to breathe, with their hearts even skipping a beat.

At the edge of the deep pit.

Faceless Man slowly retracted the zixiao thunder bamboo and tucked it behind his waist.

He did not look at the shocked, worshipful, or fearful gazes around him, nor did he pay any attention to the giant dead snake on the ground.

He simply lowered his head slightly and glanced at his right hand, which had just accomplished the feat of "slaughtering a demon."

[Right Hand (Extremely dissatisfied, even a little aggrieved)]:

"Tsk, it fell just like that?"

"This snake skin isn't very sturdy either; I haven't even finished warming up yet."

"Boring, really boring."

Faceless Man shook his head helplessly, seemingly finding the experience of this battle extremely poor.

"Sigh..."

A sigh drifted away with the wind.

Just as everyone was confused, not knowing why this mysterious powerhouse in front of them was sighing in regret.

In the sky, three streaks of light fell like meteors, carrying terrifying sonic booms as they smashed heavily into the entrance of the valley.

As the dust settled, three imposing figures were revealed.

Leading them was Principal Pang Ban. Although his black suit was slightly disheveled, the fury of a Tier 5 Grandmaster burned as if it were tangible, making the surrounding air feel scorched.

Behind him, the Lightning-element Grandmaster, Commander Qiu Wanhe, and the Sword Dao Grandmaster, Grandmaster Li Kuanglan, stood on his left and right, radiating murderous intent.

"Damn, what a pretentious entrance!"

"Look! It's the Principal!"

"Wooo... The Principal is finally here!"

"We're finally safe now!"

"Great! It's Principal Pang, we're saved!"

The students, who had originally been immersed in the recent battle, immediately felt as if they had seen their own family upon seeing the Principal, and many sat down on the ground and wailed.

This was the joy of surviving a desperate situation, and the peace of mind of finding their backbone.

Principal Pang Ban did not pay attention to the students' cheers.

His old eyes, sharp as a hawk's, scanned the entire scene immediately.

Everywhere he looked was a mess.

The ground was cracked, trees had toppled, and traces of battle were everywhere.

And in the mud not far away lay a corpse that was no longer recognizable as human, its head smashed like a rotten watermelon; it was a miserable death.

"Hmm?"

Principal Pang Ban frowned, a trace of doubt rising in his heart.

"Didn't that Mo Wu from Class F say... that there was a Tier 5 Great Demon, the Bone-Eroding Venomous Python, guarding this place?"

"Why can't I feel the aura of the Great Demon?"

"And it seems like there was a battle here just now..."

Just as Principal Pang Ban was puzzled and preparing to grab a teacher to ask about the situation.

His gaze suddenly locked onto that black-clad figure standing at the edge of the deep pit, with his back turned to him.

That black trench coat he had seen countless times on the surveillance monitors.

That strange mask that made him grind his teeth in hatred.

"Face! less! Man!"

These three words were squeezed out from between Principal Pang Ban's teeth.

New grudges and old hatreds instantly surged to his heart.

"Good! Very good!"

Principal Pang Ban laughed in extreme anger, his suit flapping without a breeze, and a terrifying aura instantly locked onto Faceless Man.

"You didn't take the road to heaven, but instead barged into the gate of hell!"

"I thought you would hide your head and show your tail for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant as to follow us here!"

Principal Pang Ban took a step forward, the ground cracking, and pointed his finger directly at Faceless Man:

"Stop pretending!"

"I have already investigated your background clearly!"

"You are the mastermind that the Wusheng Divine Sect has planted in our school! You are the leader of that criminal group!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was in an uproar.

The students looked confused.

Teacher Shen Qing opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but was suppressed by Principal Pang Ban's aura and couldn't speak for a moment.

Principal Pang Ban didn't give anyone a chance to interrupt. He connected the confessions of the three stubborn prisoners in the interrogation room with the conspiracy of the Tier 5 Great Demon and the Wusheng Divine Sect colluding to cause trouble this time.

The logical chain closed instantly!

"Hmph! You really have some tricks up your sleeve!"

Principal Pang Ban sneered:

"Your Wusheng Divine Sect really has some skill to be hiding an expert like you, whom even I cannot see through!"

"However, you won't be able to escape today!"

Saying this, Principal Pang Ban scanned the surroundings vigilantly and shouted sternly:

"Stop hiding!"

"Where is that Tier 5 rascally snake that was working with you?"

"Tell him to come out and die!"

"I want to see if the two of you combined can withstand the joint suppression of us three Grandmasters!"

...

Principal Pang's impassioned and righteous "declaration of war" echoed in the empty valley.

However.

What responded to him was an eerie silence.

And... countless strange gazes.

Teacher Shen Qing clutched her chest, her expression like she was looking at a patient with dementia.

Lu Xingye and Xiang Batian looked at each other, both seeing the question in the other's eyes: "Will the Principal also be instantly killed by Faceless Man?"

And the one most on the verge of a breakdown was none other than Plum Blossom Three, who was sprawled in the mud.

Listening to Principal Pang Ban's words, he was completely stunned.

Plum Blossom Three: "???"

He was frantically drawing question marks in his heart:

"This... this god of slaughter... is a member of our organization?"

"That's impossible, right?"

"That doesn't make sense, right?"

"That shouldn't be, right?"

"I, Plum Blossom Three, have been in the organization for over twenty years and am considered a mid-to-high-level cadre; how have I never heard of such a fierce person in the organization?"

But...

Plum Blossom Three thought about it again, feeling that a big shot like Principal Pang shouldn't be spouting nonsense.

"Could it be..."

Plum Blossom Three's pupils shrank violently, recalling a secret that only circulated in the legends of the organization:

"Could he be one of the three legendary big shots... at the very top of the Wusheng Divine Sect?"

"J? Q? K?"

"Or perhaps..."
