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 had outstanding talent. 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 Sonar." 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.
It was regretful, but he was not unconvinced 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. He only needed to watch how Shujihira did things. 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. They 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 planning 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 didn't 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 right in front of him.
He was almost there, but Shujihira. He shouldn't have! He was more talented than her, he had always been able to handle everything well, he should have gone further than her, but now. Had he also reached the point where he couldn't go on?
Shujihira's situation was getting more and more difficult. Venus was also in a state of bloodlust. The two commanders had joined forces, but one of them had actually been killed by these two Single-soul Linking students. 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 revenge, just to vent his anger.
"Go to hell!!" Venus roared, and his punch was finally unavoidable for Shujihira. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth like an arrow, and Shujihira was sent flying, falling on the rain, and rolling right next to Shi Ao.
It seemed like this was the end.
Shujihira sensed his own state, and then looked at Shi Ao. He didn't have any expectations in his heart. Two Single-soul Linking practitioners, and opponents who knew their strength and abilities, could kill one of them and hold on until now. They had already broken through their limits. Shujihira wasn't Shi Ao. He had already mentally prepared himself for this kind of result, or even worse.
"Sigh … …" He sighed slightly. No matter what, they weren't willing to die. Now that things had come to this, although there was no resentment, there would still be a little regret.
But Venus didn't care about his emotions. He saw that although the two fellows were heavily injured and couldn't fight anymore, they still had a breath left in them. What he wanted to do was to completely send these two fellows to the path of thought.
New hatred and old hatred, he was finally going to settle it with this one strike. Venus, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry anymore. He slowly walked forward. He wanted Shujihira and Shi Ao to feel more of the despair and fear before death. But just as he took two steps, he suddenly heard a soft sound from his feet. Although it was in this pouring rain, it couldn't escape the ears of practitioners. Venus, who had suffered at Shujihira's hands more than once, was unusually alert. He immediately dodged to the side, and his eyes swept across the ground like lightning.
There wasn't much change to the ground. It was just one more thing, but the look in Qi Xing's eyes immediately changed.
Because he recognized this thing. It was the waist tag of their commander. Different from 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 already recognize 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 there wasn't a particularly urgent reason, they would never hand it over to someone else, let alone casually throw it on the ground.
Matsuoka was killed?
That Matsuoka who mastered the "Vanish" ability, which ordinary practitioners couldn't see through, was actually killed?
It shouldn't be!
He didn't chase after Lu Ping, who repeatedly saw through him. Wasn't his target that Morin? Although they both had the Double Break, he didn't have the Soul of Strength. His superpower, "Wind Flow", was also restrained by the "Vanish" ability. With such a foolproof arrangement, how could he be killed?
Venus couldn't figure it out, but he didn't indulge in this kind of speculation. Of course, the waist tag couldn't have flown here by itself. Someone must have thrown it here. Where was he?
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.
A second wave. Lin Chao's waist tag?
His superpower, "Heart Intent Blade", would definitely be able to hit the target even if it was hit by Siffin's "Broken Mark". It was just that the killing power wasn't very stable, so he specially sent "Invisible Blade" Senhai to cooperate with him. Two practitioners with the Double Break to deal with a little 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 just like that. 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. That shape was exactly what he had just 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!
Water splashed on the ground again. This time, the splash was bigger than any of the previous times the three waist tags had appeared. It was obvious that this waist tag was heavier.
There were only three waist tags of a higher quality than a commander's waist tag in the Zhiling district. 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 pattern was reversed. Venus immediately saw the reverse pattern on the waist tag that had caused the splash and then been quickly covered by the rain. It was the waist tag of one of the chief inspectors of the Zhiling district, Zong Zhenghao.
Venus's expression was no longer one of shock.
Fear and despair — the emotions he had hoped that Shujihira and Shi Ao would experience more of just now were written all over his face.
Even their chief inspector, Zong Zhenghao, had been killed in a rainstorm like this, an environment where Zong Zhenghao's superpower would grow explosively. But he 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 had 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 companions and superiors had all 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 came closer, he finally saw clearly that it was that fellow. They also looked a little disheveled. They supported each other so that they didn't fall. But after all, they had 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."
