Chapter 42: A Meeting of Foes (1/2)
Translator: Soldier
Behind her, a short distance away, a group of teenage boys and girls were walking towards her. There were five of them, all of whom were dressed in the same outfits as hers. And a middle-aged man in gray mentor uniform was walking beside them.
It seemed that a mentor of the academy was taking trainees out on a field trip.
However, Yun Wu gave an obvious frown on sight of that female.
Li Xin'er!
She used to hang out in General Mansion and seem to enjoy being Yun Lingshui's lackey.
In her memory, Li Xin'er had offered Yun Lingshui a lot of prankish ideas to play tricks on her.
On the worst occasion, they hung her by her feet from a branch and whipped her till she was covered in cuts and bruises. Then they left her hanging there for a whole day and a night, which nearly killed her.
Afterwards, it was said that she got a place in Warrior Academy.
Unexpectedly, after more than a year, the two foes ran into each other at such an out-of-the-way place.
Watching Li Xin'er down there, the corner of Yun Wu's compressed lips suddenly curved up slightly.
”Hearing that reprimand in a female voice, the strong man frowned and turned his head, ”Little girl, go away and do what you gotta do. Stay out of my business, or you'll get yourself into trouble.”
”Hem!” ”This business of yours has just become my business!” after a cold snort, Li Xin'er swung her sword at him with a flash of cold light.
Her attacks were fast and steady, fighting spirit engulfing the blade, and a scorching hotness started pervading.
Yellow-tier talent, tier II early stage, fire!
The impatience on the strong man's face was instantly replaced by grave ferocity as soon as he saw this scene.
When that sword slash was coming for him, he immediately loosened his grip on the old woman and whipped out the broad saber fastened to his waist, orange fighting spirit billowing out from his body along with Tier II peak fighting force.
Two figures intertwined with each other instantly.
Yet the gap between the strength of the two sides was very obvious.
After a few moves, Li Xin'er was clearly reduced to a passive position.
”Let us help, Junior Sister!”
With a yell in a haughty tone, the five teenagers joined the fight forthwith.
In the blink of an eye, the situation became six versus one.
That mentor just stood at the side with his arms crossed before his chest, arrogantly watching this fighting scene.
The look on his face seemed to be suggesting that not only were they upholding justice but also this fight was helpful in toughening his students.
All of a sudden.
Someone with sharp eyes saw the logos on their outfits and cried in surprise.
”My God, they're from the Mighty King Warrior Academy...”
”What?”
”Mighty King Warrior Academy?”
Immediately, the eyes of all the people around swept towards the students with an intent look. Very soon, a ghost of astonishment and excitement flashed in their eyes.
The Mighty King Warrior Academy was the best academy in Zhou Dynasty and it was said the entrance requirement was very strict.
Applicants whose talent failed to meet the criteria would never be admitted even if they were members of royal family.
As a result, whoever got admitted into Mighty King Academy was undoubtedly top applicants with exceptional talent.
No wonder that tough hombre looked so violent and wicked, yet this little girl still dared to mess with him. It turned out that she was from the Mighty King Warrior Academy.
”Terrific! Nice move...”
”She's definitely from the Mighty King Warrior Academy...”
”That girl's not only beautiful but also so powerful...”
At this moment, loud cheers arose among the crowd along with animated compliments and admiration, surrounding Li Xin'er and the other five teenagers.
Hearing the compliments, Li Xin'er was somewhat self-satisfied and her moves became more aggressive.
Although that strong man was in peak stage of tier II, his six opponents were all above tier II, and one of them was even in late stage of tier II. Their moves were ruthless and their teamwork was very good.
After fighting for such a long time, a number of cuts appeared on him.
Abruptly, the six opponents launched their attacks on him from his front, back, left and right sides simultaneously, every saber aiming at his vital parts.
The strong man's facial expression changed. He took a transverse slash and tapped on the ground with his foot, planning to leap upwards and flee.
But at this moment!
”A cold look appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged mentor at the side, ”Villain! Where do you think you're going!”
With a quick swing of his hand, Earth energy surged out, and a spurt of weighty Earth force emerged in the air, pressing straight downwards onto the head of the strong man.
”Er!”
The strong man couldn't help giving a muffled groan, the force weighing him down like the full weight of the Tai Mountain. The look on his face changed drastically.
With a downward movement of his body, his feet violently sank deep into the ground.
The momentum of that great force diffused outwards and all the people around felt a tide of compressive force coming right towards their front.
Gasps and yells were heard.
”A Tier VII Earth master...”
”His fighting force's so formidable...”
”His Earth controlling capability's amazing...”
When people around were still screaming in shock --
Li Xin'er seized this opportunity, a killing intent flickering across her eyes.
With a feet movement, she stabbed her sword towards that strong man's heart ruthlessly. ”Die! Villain!”
But all of a sudden!
A cold light shot at her face head-on. It was so fast, leaving her no time to react.
Fortunately, that mentor had both sharp eyes and quick reflexes, drawing Li Xin'er backwards with great suction.
”Who is it? You dared to stab us in the back?” the mentor's face became sullen, his sharp eyes sweeping around.
It was at this time that the people around reacted.
They saw a small knife sticking in the ground, giving off eerie, cold reflection of light.
If it weren't for that the mentor's movement was quicker, that knife would've taken Li Xin'er's life.
Yet, his angry yell received no response.
In a box on the second floor!
”You little thing. Aren't you not interested?” with an enchanting smile Long Qingxie stared at Yun Wu.
”Do you think I'm interested now?” Yun Wu arched her eyebrows and asked rhetorically.
After that, Yun Wu continued to enjoy the meal as if nothing had ever happened.
