"Bai Feng, you're too weak."
Walking on the air with a pair of black boots and holding a saber in hand, Xia Yuwen approached Bai Feng one step at a time as he said, "You can escape from the warzone. I won't kill you. I can even accept you under my service after becoming the prefect. What do you think?"
"No thanks." Not far away, Bai Feng was continuing his escape as he smiled, "Those who walk different paths can't walk together. If you really manage to become a prefect and I'm still alive by then, I would rather retire to the countryside and become a farmer than work under you."
Xia Yuwen coldly said, "A wise man knows when to submit to circumstances. Bai Feng, there are countless geniuses in this world. This world never lacks geniuses."
"Sure. Just kill me if you can."
Suddenly, Bai Feng turned around and sent his sword flying toward Xia Yuwen.
Bang!
With a loud clash, the sword was sent back. Bai Feng coughed another mouthful of blood before escaping with his sword. With that, a chase began.
Xia Yuwen swung his saber again and again, flooding the area with his saber qi. His saber emanated an astonishing level of killing intent and destructiveness. The moment Bai Feng was struck by one of these sabers, he would be instantly sliced into pieces. As the saber qi flooded the area, Bai Feng's freedom of movement became more and more restricted.
Not far away, Wu Yuehua and the others frowned.
Wu Yuehua transmitted her voice, "Bai Feng is not his match. The gap between them is too big. Even if Qi herself fights Xia Yuwen, she won't be his match. Xia Yuwen is too strong."
Bai Feng was someone capable of instantly killing a second-stage Cloudbreach. But facing Xia Yuwen, he couldn't even counterattack properly. Of course, his talent was still evident from the mere fact that he had lasted this long against Xia Yuwen. Nevertheless, the gap between the two was still too big.
Liu Wenyan said nothing. Since Bai Feng wanted to give it a try, so be it.
Further away.
Zhou Mingren was calmly looking at the ongoing battle. Beside him, Elder Sun coldly said, "This fellow was very arrogant when he killed Zhang Yu. But now, he's acting like a stray dog."
He had never hated Bai Feng this much before. But his hatred toward Bai Feng had increased significantly after Bai Feng killed his student over some verbal argument. It wasn't easy to produce a Cloudbreach student.
Zhou Mingren ignored Elder Sun. He looked at the distance. There, a decent number of experts had gathered. The old fart from the Zheng Family, Marquis Xia, Administrator Hu, General Zhao, Director JiAll those people were watching silently.
Zhou Mingren maintained his silence.
Beside him, Shan Tianhao suddenly said, "Vice Principal Zhou, since you're already here, why make Xia Yuwen kill Bai Feng? Just capture Liu Wenyan yourself. Stop wasting time."
Zhou Mingren said nothing.
Shan Tianhao frowned, "Vice Principal Zhou..."
Zhou Mingren turned to look at him and said, "There is no rush."
"No rush?"
Shan Tianhao was furious. Why not? Just what was this person waiting for?
"Zheng Yuming is still suffering from his injuries. Are you not going to help him anymore, Vice Principal Zhou?"
Zhou Mingren gave Shan Tianhao another glance, but he said nothing and returned his focus to the ongoing battle. At that point, Bai Feng was being suppressed so badly that he looked completely helpless. Xia Yuwen was too strong.
"Faculty Head..."
Elder Sun and the others looked at Zhou Mingren. They were confused as well. Just what were they waiting for? They could simply start moving toward Zhang Ruoling's grave immediately. The multiple character faction would object and a battle would erupt. At that time, they would be able to capture Liu Wenyan and put an end to this conflict.
Zhou Mingren started frowning. After a short while, he said, "Not everyone is here yet. Hong Tan is still not here. If we don't take him down, are we going to allow him to cause trouble for us everywhere? When you beat a snake, you better kill it lest you suffer from an endless calamity instead. Don't you know something so simple?"
Shan Tianhao said, "After capturing Liu Wenyan, Hong Tan will return. At that time, he won't be able to escape us."
Why wait? What if something unexpected happened instead? Zhou Mingren sank into silence again. Shan Tianhao was furious at being ignored.
Suddenly, Zhou Mingren said, "You can give it a try. But I can't do anything yet. If I get myself occupied and Hong Tan arrives, no one can stop him."
"You..."
Shan Tianhao looked at Zhou Mingren coldly and switched to voice transmission, "Zhou Mingren, don't think too much. Do you really think they can stop us? Are you trying to make yourself the savior of this operation to elevate you into the leader of cultural researchers in Great Xia?"
He had seen through Zhou Mingren's ploy. Zhou Mingren clearly believed that without his help, they would not be able to defeat the multiple character faction. In the end, Zhou Mingren would be able to sweep in and save the day like a hero. His prestige would be boosted, strengthening his position in Great Xia.
Zhou Mingren said nothing. He continued ignoring Shan Tianhao.
"Have you forgotten Principal Zhou's words?"
Shan Tianhao continued transmitting his voice. He was not referring to Zhou Mingren when he mentioned Principal Zhou. Instead, he was referring to the principal of the Great Zhou Cultural Research Academy, Zhou Polong.
Zhou Polong. The son of an Invincible.
Zhou Mingren remained silent. At that point, Shan Tianhao could no longer contain his anger. Did this fellow really believe that they would be helpless against Liu Wenyan's cohort without his help?
...
Atop a distant mountain.
Instead of standing, Marquis Xia was seated comfortably while drinking tea and chomping on snacks. The only thing he lacked was a beautiful maid beside him with a fan in hand.
While eating, he smiled, "Xia Yuwen and Bai Feng have caused so much damage to the land. I'm getting rich!"
Beside him, a sturdy and refined middle-aged man shot him a glance and said, "You're going to be taking money from a member of the Xia Family as well. So you're essentially taking your own money."
"No, it's not the same." Marquis Xia smiled, "Xia Yuwen can make his own money. He's not a little boy anymore. The family only gives him a stipend of 3,000 merit points per year, but look at the hundreds of square meters he has destroyed. That's hundreds of thousands of merit points in fine."
"He won't be able to afford this fine."
"It's fine. His grandpa can afford it. Changqing has been a vice principal for so many years. He's rich enough. I'm not worried."
Marquis Xia laughed happily. He said, "Old Ji, take a seat while we chat. Aren't you tired of standing? Why are you learning from Old Hu?"
Director Ji ignored the fat marquis. He didn't even feel like continuing the conversation.
Marquis Xia was not one to sit silently without speaking. He said, "Old Ji, who do you think will win between the two of them?"
"Zhou Mingren and Hong Tan?"
"No. These two."
He pointed at Bai Feng who was still busy escaping. At the moment, Bai Fengs white outfit had already turned into a bloody outfit. He couldn't counterattack and could only run, barely preserving his life. The longer the battle continued, the weaker he seemed. If this continued, he would only end up killed by Xia Yuwen.
Director Ji frowned. Slowly, his eyes shone with a certain gleam , looking like he was trying to detect something. After a long while, he smiled, "Bai Feng will die while Xia Yuwen will be injured."
"You tried reading the future?" Marquis Xia laughed, "That's inaccurate. Even if you're a Sunmoon, you might not be able to catch the future accurately. Not to mention Sunmoons, even Invincibles can only see a possible version of the future after analyzing countless information instead of accurately predicting the future."
Director Ji looked at the marquis and smiled, "What do you think?"
"What do I think?" Marquis Xia smiled, "How about this. Let's make a bet...with your daughter as the wager?"
"Hmm?"
Director Ji's eyes instantly turned dangerous.
"What do you think about our Xia Huyou?" Marquis Xia smiled, "He is simple, honest, reliable, hardworking"
"Ugly." Director Ji only replied with one word.
Xia Huyou was too ugly for his beloved daughter.
It was Marquis Xia's turn to have a dangerous look in his eyes, "Everyone says that our Huyou resembles me the most."
"That's why."
"You..." Marquis Xia raged, "Fine. Fuck off if you're not interested. Do you think I care about your daughter? You're only a brand new Sunmoon. You should be happy to have a chance to form a marriage with our family. Why are you acting all haughty? Fuck off."
Director Ji asked, "Is the Sunmoon Realm a weak realm? My daughter is not someone who will settle with a used good."
"..."
Marquis Xia had a gloomy expression. Nearby, Old Hu was trying his best to not laugh.
Used good...
In a way, that was accurate.
When Xia Huyou was young, his fiancee was a direct daughter of the Liu Family. Alas, the Liu Family had fallen while Xia Huyou's little fiancee had been killed alongside her parents in the Allheaven Battlefield not long after she was born.
The marriage agreement was made jokingly while the mother of that girl was still pregnant, but it wasn't fully a joke as they were simultaneously taking the proposal seriously. Director Ji was intentionally saying that to anger Marquis Xia.
In his fury, Marquis Xia said, "I'll bet that Bai Feng still has a trump card. Up until now, he has only shown one of his two Dragon Slaying Swords. Where is the other sword?"
Director Ji raised his brow, "Where has he gotten his second sword exactly?"
"Perhaps it has been in his possession since the beginning and he has been hiding it until now."
Marquis Xia gave an unreliable guess.
Director Ji said, "I'm wondering if he has actually disassembled his original Dragon Slaying Sword."The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to n(o)vel(b)(i)(n).
"He can't be that crazy, right?" Marquis Xia looked unsure. "The character technique of the multiple character faction can't be disassembled. But that might really be possible. This kid spends all his time in his lab. Who knows if he has discovered something different. Why don't you make a move and preserve his life later?"
Director Ji smiled and ignored the marquis.
Old Hu smiled and said, "Marquis, your habit of treating different people with double standards is not a good habit to have. When the other fellow was killed earlier, you had not done anything."
Marquis Xia indifferently said, "That's how all merchants are. We have to be flexible with our standards and adjust accordingly when required. All that matters is if he's worth helping. If he's not worth helping, I won't even bother lifting a hand."
They ignored him. If he wanted to lend a helping hand, he should do it himself instead of getting someone else to do it for him.
"Bai Feng, you're too weak."
Walking on the air with a pair of black boots and holding a saber in hand, Xia Yuwen approached Bai Feng one step at a time as he said, "You can escape from the warzone. I won't kill you. I can even accept you under my service after becoming the prefect. What do you think?"
"No thanks." Not far away, Bai Feng was continuing his escape as he smiled, "Those who walk different paths can't walk together. If you really manage to become a prefect and I'm still alive by then, I would rather retire to the countryside and become a farmer than work under you."
