"Fang! Xing! Jian! "
The furious bellows tore through the clouds, almost spreading throughout the entire academy. However, when everyone lifted their heads to look at the sky, they could only see two white lines cutting through the clouds, as well as two black dots that were gradually disappearing.
Less than a few seconds after Sasa had disappeared in pursuit of Fang Xingjian, two silhouettes had already flown to the top of the prison.
One of them looked old and clumsy, as if he would die at any moment. The other person had a muscular build and appeared to be very capable.
They were the two people who had participated in the Regional Selection and had been judges before. They were the old Luke and the middle-aged Yaris. Both of them were level 28 experts. After the Dark Knight had arrived, they had been left behind in the Regional Academy to hold the fort.
However, they had not expected that they had been slightly slower, and Sasa had already escaped after Fang Xingjian.
"Sasa has broken free?" Luke, who was already very old, frowned, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have curled up into many deep ravines. "It seems that he's the First Prince's target this time around."
Yaris and Luke communicated through information currents, "Why is Xingjian here as well?"
"I don't know, but we can't just leave him be. If Sasa were to escape and bring Xingjian with him..."
Thinking of this, the two of them were in an extremely bad mood. If both of them were to disappear, it would be the worst situation.
"Yaris, you go and give chase. I'll stay here to hold the fort in case they try to lure us away." The wrinkles on Luke's old face grew increasingly deeper. "Your ability is suitable for this. You just need to chase after him and rescue Fang Xingjian. Sasa has broken free today, so there'll definitely be people coming to his aid. You must be careful as well."
A few seconds later, Yaris burst into flames and soared up into the sky like a meteor. Heat waves shone through the entire academy, and the temperature within a range of several kilometers rose. In the next instant, he had already left behind streams of flames as he gave chase in the direction where Sasa had disappeared.
...
Elsewhere, in the Governor's manor, the Dark Knight was sitting on the sofa, playing chess with great interest against Governor Devitt.
Suddenly, Devitt's body froze. The chess piece in his hand was crushed into powder, and he stood up abruptly.
As the current Headmaster of the Great Western Region Regional Academy, he had always been paying attention to the situation in the academy. Right now, someone had sent him a message through information currents, and streams of killing intent shot out from his eyes.
"Black Knight, you deserve to die!"
He took a step forward and appeared before the Dark Knight like an illusion. Slapping out with his palm, it was as if there were a myriad of dragon roars ringing out. The surrounding temperature plunged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire room was covered in frost.
The Dark Knight was sent flying backward with a bang, crashing through over ten walls before coming to a stop.
As Devitt slapped out his palm, he immediately sent a voice transmission, "I'll deal with him. One of you head to the academy to hold the fort, while the other goes after Sword Saint Sasa."
The speed of communication between Conferred Knights was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already mixed everything that had happened in the academy into information currents and told Head of Department James and Hoppes, who was the leader of the sword arts team.
The two of them were about to take action when they realized that the entire Governor's manor had been surrounded by layers of black fog. Two ladies walked out slowly from the black fog.
One of the ladies was dressed in palace clothes, but her thighs and arms were exposed. Simultaneously, her face was cold, and she seemed to be unapproachable.
The other lady was dressed in purple clothes and had purple hair. She was Li Zi, the top notch expert who had been pursued by the First Prince on the snowy plains in the north, and who had used the Four Seals of World Creation to go up against the First Prince's Overturned Hell.
Seeing the appearance of these three people, James frowned and said softly, "Hoppes, stop trying. This is the Ancient Path of Hell's number one Killing technique for trapping people, the Hell's Cloister. Ordinary people won't be able to break through it."
He then looked toward the Dark Knight, the lady in palace clothes, and Li Zi and said, "I've long sensed two waves of killing intent lingering in the surroundings, but I didn't expect the First Prince to really place such a heavy bet. Why? Is he thinking of getting rid of the three of us at one go?"
Li Zi, who had purple hair and was dressed in purple clothes, remained silent. Her face was filled with indifference, as if the entire world had nothing to do with her.
The Dark Knight let out a cold laugh, and the black aura around him grew even thicker. He was clearly doing his best to control the Hell's Cloister, trapping Devitt, James, and Hoppes.
These three level 29 experts were all experts in the second tier of level 29. None of them were to be underestimated.
Hearing James's words, the lady in palace clothes smiled and said, "Seniors, you must be joking. Li Zi and I are only here to protect the Dark Knight. We can't possibly just watch as the three of you tear him apart, right?"
"Hmph," Governor Devitt shouted, "Stop talking crap with them. Attack!"
At the next instant, intersecting forces, flames, thunderbolts, and reversed space seethed in the sky above the Governor's manor. The six experts engaged in a great battle, and it was truly a world-shaking battle.
The entire Governor's manor was instantly turned into ruins. Fortunately, Devitt had sent all the good people away, so there were no casualties.
However, the soaring flames, thunderbolts, and loud sounds still attracted the attention of countless people in the Great Western City.
...
A few minutes earlier.
In the Knight Academy in the Great Western City.
Two assassins from the Sand Country were walking in a small alley. The lady was leading the way, while the elderly man behind her was carrying the unconscious Lilia on his back.
However, when the two of them were halfway there, the ground under their feet had been completely covered up by shadows.
"The two of you, put her down. After you break one of your arms, you can scram."
Seeing that the entire ground under their feet had been covered up by black shadows that seemed to have a life of their own, spreading out and even climbing up the walls, the corners of the lady's lips curled up, revealing a hint of a smile. "Shadows? You're Andre? Another genius from the Great Western Region? "
Andre's body slowly rose up from the shadows. Looking at the two assassins from the Sand Country, he sighed inwardly.
He had heard Zhou Xingwen's warning and had specially rushed over to the Great Western City. As he was fast enough, after taking a detour around Ferdinand's place, he then went to take a detour around Lilia's place. He had not expected that something would really happen.
Looking at the two people dressed in black robes, Andre felt a strong sense of unease. The pressure coming from them was much stronger than what he had felt when he was facing many of his teachers.
However, hearing their words, he still said arrogantly, "That's right. I'm the Shadow of Death, Andre. If you don't wish to die, then scram."
"It's good that it's you. Since you're a genius, then you deserve to die." The black robes on the female assassin exploded in that instant, and she punched the ground. In that instant, the shadow-covered ground turned into sand, and streams of sand arrows shot out toward Andre.
"All of the Empire's geniuses deserve to die."
