136: Chapter 136 Don't worry, I won't kill him!
As soon as this gunpowder-laden declaration was made, the atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited.
Immediately after, Commander Qiu Wanhe on the left was not to be outdone.
As the supreme commander of this S-Rank Dungeon military base, having someone sneak in right under his nose to cause trouble was a serious dereliction of duty, and even more so, a blatant slap in the face!
"Sizzle, sizzle—" Two purple lightning dragons surged crazily along his arms, emitting bursts of crackling sounds.
Commander Qiu Wanhe's expression was stern, like an iron-faced judge:
"Grandmaster Li Kuanglan is right!"
"No matter what your identity is, and no matter how strong your power may be."
"You have illegally trespassed into an S-Rank military restricted zone, are suspected of damaging public facilities, and have attacked teachers and students..."
Commander Qiu Wanhe waved his hand, and a net of lightning formed in the air:
"I am now officially arresting you for the crimes of [Endangering Great Xia National Security] and [Illegal Trespassing]!"
"Surrender now! Otherwise, I will execute you on the spot!"
With both Tier 5 Grandmasters unleashing their power simultaneously, the terrifying pressure made it difficult for the students present to even breathe.
Principal Pang Ban looked at these two "reliable" teammates, and his initial thoughts of backing down instantly vanished.
"That's right!"
"What am I afraid of?"
"This is three against one!"
"Grandmaster Li Kuanglan is a sword cultivator focused on offense, Old Qiu is a strong crowd-controller with the power of thunder, plus myself, an all-rounded martial arts Grandmaster..."
"The advantage is with me!"
Principal Pang Ban's spine straightened instantly, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
He clasped his hands behind his back again, regaining his dignity as a principal, and sneered at the Faceless Man:
"Hmph, Faceless Man!"
"Earlier, I was giving you a chance, hoping you would confess for leniency."
"Since you remain obstinate and refuse to repent, don't blame us for ganging up on you!"
"We will settle the score today for your previous petty thievery at the school, and for using my turtle shell as a washbasin!"
...
Facing the encirclement of three Tier 5 Grandmasters, and faced with this monstrous killing intent and judgment, the Faceless Man standing at the edge of the deep pit did not even change his posture.
Underneath the mask, there was dead silence.
But inside his body, it had turned into a joyful roast session.
[Internal Chat Group (Extremely Active)]
[Right Hand (Rubbing hands excitedly)]: "Oh my? I thought we were done after killing one snake, but I didn't expect there to be overtime service? That guy with the big sword looks like a tough guy; I wonder if he can withstand one of my punches?"
[Kidneys (Drooling)]: "Don't just look at the one with the sword! Look at the one on the left! The one playing with electricity! Wow! That is pure, natural, pollution-free thunder power! The previous senior student's electricity was too weak, not satisfying enough. This uncle looks like he has plenty of battery! Can we catch him and use him to charge me up?"
[Legs (Twitching)]: "Stop talking nonsense! These three old guys are too noisy, yapping away for half a day without making a move. Should we just go up and kick each of them once, or wait for them to set up their formation and take them all out at once?"
[Brain (Calm)]: "No rush. Let them get into their positions first. After all, they are Tier 5 Grandmasters, so we should give them some face. When they think they've got it in the bag... then we'll rub all three of them into the ground."
In reality, facing the clamoring of Principal Pang Ban and the others, the Faceless Man still did not speak.
He merely slowly lifted his head, and through the eyeholes of his mask, swept his gaze across these three confident Grandmasters.
Then, he extended one finger and, with extreme contempt... beckoned.
The gesture was incredibly perfunctory, as if he were summoning three puppies.
"Come."
One word, concise and clear.
The damage was not high, but the insult was extremely high.
"You're courting death!!!" Grandmaster Li Kuanglan was the first to explode.
As a sword cultivator, when had he ever received such contempt?
Just as Grandmaster Li Kuanglan was preparing to strike, a female voice, filled with anxiety and weakness, abruptly cut into this gunpowder-laden standoff.
"Stop!!" Teacher Shen Qing, supported by Su Nuonuo, stumbled over to the three Grandmasters.
"Principal! Two seniors! Everyone, don't make a move yet!" Teacher Shen Qing disregarded the blood at the corner of her mouth and shouted hurriedly:
"There must be some misunderstanding here! Although the Faceless Man's identity is unknown, if he hadn't stepped in to kill the Tier 5 Great Demon just now, we would have been completely wiped out! He saved the entire school's teachers and students!"
The surrounding instructors and students who had just escaped death also nodded in agreement one after another:
"That's right, Principal! That strike from this hero just now was simply divine! Although he stole my snacks, he did indeed save our lives!"
Hearing this, Grandmaster Li Kuanglan and Commander Qiu Wanhe, who were just about to make a move, paused, and looked at Principal Pang Ban in the middle with somewhat conflicted expressions.
Principal Pang frowned slightly, and the anger in his eyes calmed down a little. He stroked his chin and fell into deep thought:
"So that's how it is... It seems that although this kid joined a cult, his conscience has not yet been extinguished, and at the critical moment, he still stood on the side of justice. That being said, I was indeed a bit impulsive earlier."
Seeing this, Teacher Shen Qing was delighted. She just wanted to strike while the iron was hot and report the Faceless Man's terrifying feat of "tearing through the void and instantly killing a Tier 5" just now, so that the principal would retreat in the face of difficulties.
However, after pondering for three seconds, Principal Pang Ban suddenly looked solemn and said righteously:
"But! One thing is one thing! Although he has merit, the facts that he stole school property, trespassed into a restricted area, and is a high-ranking member of the Wusheng Divine Sect are iron-clad facts! Merits and demerits cannot cancel each other out!"
"If I let a dangerous individual go just because he saved people, how will I manage the school in the future? How can I answer to the victims whose property was stolen?"
Principal Pang Ban patted Teacher Shen Qing's shoulder and comforted her in the tone of a benevolent elder:
"Teacher Shen Qing, rest assured. Since this kid still has some sense of justice, I will not deal a fatal blow to him. In a moment, I will use a little bit of force to capture him, take him back, and conduct some ideological education, striving to help him turn over a new leaf!"
Teacher Shen Qing was anxious: "That's not it, Principal! Please listen to me, his strength..."
"Enough! No need to say more! I know what I'm doing!" Principal Pang Ban waved his hand confidently, directly interrupting what Teacher Shen Qing hadn't finished saying.
He straightened his somewhat disheveled suit, took a step forward, walked in front of Grandmaster Li Kuanglan and Commander Qiu Wanhe, and with his back to them, said with great flair:
"Two brothers, this is, after all, the internal business of my Magic City Martial Arts University. Moreover, the other party just saved people; your attacks would carry too much killing intent, and you might accidentally injure someone. This is my home field, so I will take the lead! You two can just stand guard for me to prevent him from escaping!"
Grandmaster Li Kuanglan and Commander Qiu Wanhe exchanged glances and nodded: "Since Brother Pang says so, then we will follow your lead."
Principal Pang Ban turned around, facing the Faceless Man who was still standing motionless in place. In his eyes, a complex flow of data, like that of a precision instrument, suddenly lit up.
Supernatural Ability, Deconstruction of All Things!
This was the true trump card that allowed Principal Pang Ban to sit firmly in the position of principal! His eyes could see through the structure and weaknesses of all things in the world, and even the trajectory of blood and spiritual energy flow!
In battle, he could predict every muscle contraction of his opponent and gain insight into the opponent's moves in advance, which could be called "Absolute Prediction"!
"Kid, don't blame me for bullying the young with my seniority. In front of these eyes of mine, you have no secrets!"
Principal Pang Ban sneered in his heart, his eyes locked tightly onto the Faceless Man, and he began to analyze frantically.
However, the next second, Principal Pang Ban froze.
In his vision, the man in black opposite him was like a slab of Vibranium steel with no cracks whatsoever!
No weaknesses could be retrieved, there were no loopholes in his spiritual energy, and his physical body could be called perfect!
"Hiss..." Principal Pang Ban gasped, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
