Chapter 262: Protect Ai Hui!
Translator: TYZEditor: CakeHermit
A grey shadow wriggled forward along the ground. It was extremely slow. Using the surrounding rubble as camouflage, it avoided everyone’s attention.
It suddenly stopped in its tracks and like water seeping into sand, the grey shadow permeated the shadows cast by a nearby pile of crushed rocks.
The fall of the flaming ape had captured everyone’s attention. Even Ai Hui did not notice what was going on beneath his feet.
”Ai Hui, be careful!”
Lou Lan’s warning sent a cold shiver down Ai Hui’s spine. Before he could react in time, his feet sank downward as if he had stepped into quicksand. A gloomy and cold aura penetrated his legs and rapidly spread up his body.
The turn of events had been too sudden, catching Ai Hui off guard. By the time he could react, both his feet had lost all feeling, becoming completely numb.
What was that?
The grey color extended through Ai Hui’s legs. They now looked extremely odd and scary, resembling two dried-up branches.
Ai Hui suddenly remembered Shi Wei mentioning that there was a type of blood elementalist that could summon and nurture blood demons. Could this be a blood demon?
A chill entered his bone marrow, causing him to swiftly lose control of his body.
Ai Hui tried channelling his elemental energy to expel the chilling grey shadow, but to no avail. The situation worsened instead. The elemental energy was like nourishment to the grey shadow, allowing it to spread through Ai Hui’s body faster.
In the blink of an eye, the grey color extended as far as Ai Hui’s waist. The lower part of his body resembled a grey-colored, immovable stone statue.
Everyone panicked.
The previously cool-headed Shi Xueman was at a loss. What exactly was the grey shadow? What should she do? Ai Hui was just within her reach and yet, she did not know how to save him.
Fatty’s facial expression changed drastically. Without a second thought, he dashed wildly toward Ai Hui.
The yellow light in Lou Lan’s eyes flickered frantically. He was doing his best to analyze the grey shadow. Suddenly, he took out a blood crystal, following which, his palm turned into quicksand and devoured it. The yellow light in his eyes became brighter.
A trace of blood spiritual force was inserted into Midnight. Numerous mysterious veined patterns appeared on the translucent, sparkling sand core, causing it to operate frantically.
In the distance, more and more blood elementalists were emerging from the dark and approaching the mayor’s residence. This was their best chance to advance.
Ai Hui was their most feared opponent, the one they least wanted to engage in combat. By suppressing Ai Hui, their pressure was significantly relieved.
”So much for the legendary Lightning Blade.”
A repulsively ugly and sly-looking blood elementalist sneered. His facial expression was sinister and his smile contained a hint of evil.
Meanwhile, Ai Hui felt as if there was an invisible, cold hand gripping his body tightly from within. He could not help but groan.
At this moment, a sneer appeared on the sly-looking blood elementalist’s face. All of a sudden, he yelled, ”Kill Ai Hui first!”
The other blood elementalists all rushed toward Ai Hui at the same time. It was no secret who the core of the A-1 unit was. Anyone who had witnessed the battle of the streets knew how dangerous Ai Hui was.
Shi Xueman was very powerful, Duanmu Huanghun was very powerful, and the A-1 unit was also very powerful; however, in everyone’s eyes, Ai Hui was the only one who could single-handedly change the outcome of a battle.
All the blood elementalists made the same decision and charged towards Ai Hui from all directions, resembling a rain of fast-flying arrows. Biting-cold killer intent filled the air as all the blood elementalists locked onto Ai Hui.
Without any hesitation, Shi Xueman stepped out and stood in front of Ai Hui to defend him.
Duanmu Huanghun descended from the sky and defended Ai Hui from another direction.
The earth-quaking rumbles spontaneously came to an end as a thick, heavy shield plunged ferociously into the ground, causing soil to fly everywhere. The heavy shield was then steadily erected. Fatty used one of his shoulders to support the heavy shield and arched his body slightly, preparing to defend Ai Hui against the charge.
Jiang Wei’s hair stood on end. He felt somewhat suffocated and his body shivered involuntarily.
The enemy had premeditated this; their goal was to kill Ai Hui!
Ai Hui, who had triumphed in almost every single battle, was encountering an unprecedented danger.
If anything was to happen to Ai Hui...
Jiang Wei returned to his senses and cleared his throat. With all his might, he yelled, ”Protect Ai Hui!”
The A-1 unit looked as if they had just awoken from a dream; everyone’s face was flushed.
The enemy’s target was actually Ai Hui!
”Protect Ai Hui!”
Everyone roared in anger. Close combat fighters rushed towards Ai Hui while ranged fighters pull their bowstrings with all their might.
Twang, twang, twang!
The sounds of bowstrings snapping resounded through the air. The sound was terrifyingly concentrated, resembling a storm. No one was holding back. They were going all-out on their attacks.
The blood elementalists felt as if they had stirred up a hornet’s nest.
The sky-covering rain of arrows troubled them greatly, on top of which, the imposing manner of the flooding students put an immense pressure on them. The blood elementalists felt as if they were dealing with a pride of angry lions that was about to rip them to pieces.
The blood elementalist controlling the grey shadow involuntarily changed his facial expression. He was stunned by the A-1 Unit’s grandeur.
Yan Hai was also greatly stunned. It was a dog-eat-dog world among the blood elementalists, without the slightest bit of trust between them. Everyone guarded against each other instead. However, even in a life-threatening situation, the members of the A-1 Unit still went all-out to save Ai Hui.
All of a sudden, Yan Hai felt envious of them.
