Chapter 214

Shi Ao was a very simple person.

He and Shujihira had been friends since they were young. He admired and trusted this companion of his. Since he was young, he had learned to do whatever Xiu Zhiping did. Later, when Shujihira entered Amaterasu College, he also entered Amaterasu College. Shujihira became Yunchong's student, and he also worked hard to become Yunchong's student.

But on the path of cultivation, he could not completely copy Shujihira. Shujihira's talent was outstanding. He was the first to connect the most difficult Essence Soul, and the ability he mastered was the rare Level Four Arcana, "Bone Terror." And he finally mastered the Level Three Arcana, "Wings of Sonorous Sound." This was also outstanding among the students, but Shi Ao deeply regretted that he could not completely keep up with his good friend's footsteps.

He felt regretful, but he didn't feel indignant or worried. The two were still best friends. Apart from cultivation, they still maintained a lot of synchronization on other things.

With such a friend, Shi Ao felt very worry-free. He was used to not thinking too much about things, and only needed to see how Shujihira did it. So he had never thought about how he would feel if he was about to die one day.

Right now, he did not need to think about this problem, because he was experiencing it himself.

He and Shujihira did not separate, and escaped together. In the end, the two commanders of the Academy Commission blocked them on the street.

In terms of cultivation level, they were at an absolute disadvantage, but with Shujihira's plan and their skillful cooperation, they finally defeated one of them. But for this, they also paid a very painful price. Shi Ao fell to the ground with serious injuries, and had no strength to get up. Half of his face was submerged in the water, and the other half was washed by the rain. He watched as Shujihira, who was also injured, struggled with the Fourth Commander of the Academy Commission, Venus, who they had dealt with before, but he could do nothing.

He did not even have the strength to lift his head, and his consciousness was blurring in the rain.

Was this the end?

A problem that he had never thought of was placed in front of him.

He was about to reach this point, but Shujihira. He should not be! He was more talented than him, and he had always been able to handle everything well. He should have gone further than him, but now. Had he also reached the point where he could not go on?

Xiu Zhiping's situation was getting more and more difficult, and Qi Xing was also in a state of bloodlust. The two commanders worked together, but one of them was killed by two students with a single Essence Soul Connection. Right now, even if he killed these two people, he wouldn't feel any sense of victory. What he wanted to do was … It was just to take revenge, to vent.

"Die!!" Qi Xing roared as he threw a punch that Xiu Zhiping couldn't dodge. Xiu Zhiping spat out a mouthful of blood like an arrow as he was sent flying backwards. He fell to the ground and rolled right next to Shi Ao.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth like an arrow. Shujihira flew out and fell on the rain, rolling to Shi Ao's side.

Xiu Zhiping sensed his own condition and looked at Shi Ao. He didn't have any expectations in his heart. Shujihira sensed his own state, and looked at Shi Ao. He did not have any expectations in his heart. Two practitioners with a double Essence Soul Connection, and an opponent who knew their strength and abilities. They could kill one of them and persevere until now. Xiu Zhiping wasn't Shi Ao. He had already mentally prepared himself for this kind of result, or even worse than that.

"Sigh …" He sighed softly. No matter what, they were not willing to die. Now that things had come to this, although there was no resentment, there would still be some regret.

"Sigh … …" He sighed slightly. No matter what, they were not willing to die. Now that things had come to this, although there was no resentment, there would still be a little regret. What he wanted to do was to send these two to their deaths.

The new and old grudges were finally going to be settled in this one strike. Venus, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He slowly walked forward. He wanted Shujihira and Shi Ao to feel the despair and fear before death. He had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a soft sound. Although it was in the pouring rain, it did not escape the ears of the xiuzhe. Venus, who had suffered at Shujihira's hands more than once, was unusually alert. He immediately dodged to the side, his eyes sweeping across the ground like lightning.

There was not much change to the ground. It was just one more thing, but the look in Qi Xing's eyes immediately changed.

He recognized this thing. It was the waist tag of their commander. Unlike his normal supervisor's waist tag, their commander's waist tag was made of metal. There were eight commanders, eight different shapes. So with just one glance, Venus could tell that this was the waist tag of their fourth commander, Matsuoka.

The waist tag was the symbol of their status, and also the proof that they could exercise their power. If it was not for an urgent reason, they would never hand it to someone else, let alone casually throw it on the ground.

Matsuoka was killed?

Matsuoka, who had mastered the "Vanish" ability, which ordinary xiuzhe couldn't see through, was killed?

It shouldn't be!

He didn't chase after Lu Ping, who had seen through him time and time again. Wasn't his target Morin? Although they both had the Double Break, he didn't have the Soul of Strength. His superpower, "Wind Flow", was also restrained by "Vanish". How could such a foolproof arrangement be killed?

Venus couldn't figure it out, but he did not indulge in this speculation. Of course, the waist tag couldn't have flown here by itself. Someone must have thrown it here. Where was the person?

Venus wanted to look for him, but he immediately heard a rolling sound. A round waist tag rolled over from the street in the rain. With a thud, it fell into the rain.

The second wave. Lin Chao's waist tag?

Even if it was hit by Siffin's "Broken Mark" ability, it would still be able to hit the target. It was just that the damage might not be very stable, so he specially sent "Invisible Blade" Senhai to cooperate with him. Two practitioners with the Double Break to deal with a brat with the Single Soul of Strength. This was already a safe and extravagant arrangement after considering the uniqueness of the opponent's superpower, "Broken Mark". But now, Lin Chao's waist tag had actually rolled over silently. Where was Senhai's?

Just as he thought of this, another waist tag broke through the curtain of rain and flew in front of Venus. The shape was exactly what he had thought of. It was the waist tag of the sixth commander, Senhai.

Just like that, the waist tags of the three commanders appeared in front of Venus. He looked in the direction of the waist tags. In the rain, four figures were approaching him.

Not two? Or four?

Matsuoka, Lin Chao, and Senhai. Only Morin and Siffin had taken care of the three of them. But now, four people had appeared. Besides Lu Ping and Su Tang, could there be another two? But their opponent was their chief inspector, Zong Zhenghao! He was a powerful practitioner with three connected souls, and he had only taken care of these two out of caution. There was no way he would underestimate his enemies. And now, these two had appeared here as well? Their chief inspector, Zong Zhenghao …

Splash!

Another splash appeared on the ground. This time, the splash was bigger than any of the previous times when the three tokens had appeared. It was obvious that this token was heavier than the previous ones.

There were only three waist tags in the Zhiling district that were of a higher quality than a commander's waist tag. The chairman's were the other two chief inspectors, Yoo Yang-wen and Zong Zhenghao. These two chief inspector waist tags had the same shape and texture, but the patterns were reversed. Qi Xing immediately saw the reverse pattern on the medallion that had caused a splash and was quickly covered by the rain. It was the medallion of one of the chief inspectors of the Zhiling district, Zong Zhenghao.

Venus's expression was no longer one of shock.

Fear and despair — these were the emotions he had hoped Xiu Zhiping and Shi Ao could experience more of, and now they were written all over his face.

Even their chief inspector, Zong Zhenghao, had been killed in a rainstorm like this, an environment where the power of Zong Zhenghao's supernatural ability would increase explosively. But Zong Zhenghao had still been killed.

Was he able to deal with an opponent like this?

No, definitely not. And he didn't just have to deal with an opponent like this. He also had to deal with the commander who'd killed Matsuoka, Lin Chao, and Senhai, all of whom were as strong as he was, and possibly even stronger than he was.

This wasn't a fight, this was clearly sending him to his death.

Venus didn't want to die. His fear grew even stronger when he saw that his comrades and his superior had been killed. He didn't want to stay here for even a second longer. He didn't want to carry out any more missions here.

The only thought in his mind was to preserve his life. In front of such a group of terrifying opponents, he had to preserve his life.

Without hesitation, Venus turned and ran. He didn't even bother to look back as he ran for his life. His figure disappeared into the curtain of rain in an instant.

Shujihira looked at the waist tags being thrown at him one after another. He naturally knew what this meant. However, was this really done by those four fellows? As he looked at the approaching figures in the rain, Shujihira held back a little. But when the four of them came closer, he finally saw clearly that it was that guy. They looked a little disheveled, supporting each other so that they didn't fall. But after all, they'd done something unimaginable. Not to mention a little disheveled, even if the four of them were corpses now, it would be a miracle for them to be able to kill three commanders and a chief inspector of the academy. However, the four of them were still able to walk up to him like this, and they were even able to smile.

"How is it?" Lu Ping asked.

"Not too good," Shujihira said. He was still fine, but Shi Ao's condition was really not very reassuring.

However, Molin had already bent down. His medical skills, which no one had thought to be reliable, seemed to be worth looking forward to again after he had broken through the double breakthrough. In any case, there was no one who could do anything about it at the moment.

"He won't die," Morin quickly announced his diagnosis, "but he can't stay in the rain like this anymore."
