Chapter 265: Red beast tide

Lin Canghai pulled out his sword and stood alert in front of Qiandu. This was one of his habitual actions.

Li Muyang clasped Qiandu's hand tightly. “Don't worry. We'll protect you.”

Qiandu smiled lightly at Li Muyang and nodded. “Thank you.”

Lin Canghai had a dissatisfied look, unblinkingly staring at the rapidly approaching shadows, he said in a cold voice. “You said you would protect Qiandu——why are you stepping back? You're going back to Starry Sky Academy?”

Behind Lin Canghai, Li Muyang had already dragged Qiandu back several meters, keeping a distance from Lin Canghai.

“I'm just afraid that Qiandu cla.s.smate would be in danger, so I'm taking her away from the fight——Don't worry, when you can't cope I will come help you.” Li Muyang said in a comforting tone.

“Who says I can't cope?” Clasping his sword, Lin Canghai stood proudly under the red moon and clad in a white robe, he looked confident and elegant like an immortal. The soft red moonlight illuminated his face and body, giving the beautiful youngster a mysterious glow.

He tensed his body, the sword in his hand due to the infusion of strong qi emitted a purple flame. The youngster's heroism was reaching the clouds as he said in a clear voice: “if G.o.ds block, kill the G.o.ds; if demons block, destroy the demons.”

Li Muyang turned to look at Qiandu. “I like this kind of hot-blooded youngster.”

Qiandu shot a blaming glance at Li Muyang: “You're cunning.”

“I'm not cunning, my ability is not good enough so I'm worry that I would drag him down——” Li Muyang explained.

“Even Chu Xun lost to you, who can compete with you? If you exert all your strength, maybe even Canghai can't beat you——”

While they were chattering together in low tones, the shadows were already near them.

Li Muyang and the others could already see the outlines of their features; it was a group of young men in white. The same as them, students of Starry Sky Academy.

But they were not part of the Dragon Slayer course. Li Muyang and the others did not recognise them.

Lin Canghai was focused and calm, ready to strike the enemy at anytime.

A strong sadness surging inside him: they say this is a barren land, where there is no law and do not speak of morality, and people that enters could only rely on the human nature to restrain themselves.

They had just entered the illusion but the brothers of the same school are already killing each other?

“Hurry run.” A young student in white shouted to Lin Canghai.

Before his voice died away, they have already whizzed past Lin Canghai and Li Muyang. They did not have even the slightest intention of stopping.

“Not coming for us?” Lin Canghai said with a puzzled look.

Li Muyang looked over at the direction of where they were coming from when his face suddenly changed greatly. Holding Qiandu's hand he began to run with huge strides while shouting, “Hurry run.”

Lin Canghai also reacted; clasping his sword more firmly he bolted towards the direction of Li Muyang and Qiandu.

Behind them, was a tremendous red light charging to their side.

Huge red beasts. The smallest was the size of a calf. They followed closely behind, making threatening gestures and jumping up and down.

Their wind-whipped red hair looked like flaming red clouds.

There were countless beasts, closely together, forming a red tidal wave, stretching as far as the eye could see.

“Huff——”

That was the sound of the beasts behind them.

The not-so-great noises formed into one, creating an oppressive feeling of heavy force.

Li Muyang was the first to respond and at the start it was him that took Qiandu's hand and ran, but as they ran it was Qiandu who was pulling Li Muyang forward. Lin Canghai was all by himself but after he exerted some flying technique, his body, like a light, a lightning, whizzed in front.

In the end it was Qiandu and Li Muyang that were at the back.

Very soon, Li Muyang and the others caught up to the students in white.

There was no time for everyone to greet each other; each and every one of them lowered their head and charged forward.

“Ah——”

Just then, Li Muyang suddenly heard a cry behind him.

He turned around and found that the red beasts were crowding around several white-robe scholars that ran too slow. Several beasts attacked a Starry Sky student together, and caught off guard, the beasts tore off a piece of flesh from his body.

Li Muyang was about to speak when he noticed that Lin Canghai, who was running in front, had transformed into a ray of light, returning back to save him.

Swoosh——

His sword was blazing brightly and with one slash of his sword the head of the beast was severed from his body.

However, the death of their companion did not scare the large group of red beasts, instead sparked their brutality. They grew more berserk, and more desperately pounced over at where Lin Canghai was.

Qiandu's running footsteps came to an abrupt halt and she let go off Li Muyang's hand. “Canghai won't manage by himself, I have to go save him——you be careful.”

Before it was Li Muyang tightly clasping onto Qiandu's hand, but not sure when it was Qiandu clasping Li Muyang's hand.

Before she finished speaking, she took out a blue piccolo from her bosom.
