Ch. 84 - Today, We Fight To The Death!

Chen Xiao smiled coldly.

"Shen Congwu, let me tell you the truth. This plan began the day the Taotie appeared.

Not only me, but many of my cult's Protectors and even Elders are involved.

Today, Hong Lie can't come, Lin Zhennan can't come, and Beiming Feng can't come either!

Let me take the Taotie, and none of your students will be harmed. Otherwise, after today, Lingtian Middle School will cease to exist in Nanchuan Province!"

The Beast King Cult was determined to obtain the Taotie bloodline, and this operation involved almost half of its forces.

They even included Beiming Feng in their calculations.

In short, Shen Congwu was forced to choose between Lingtian Middle School and Ling Qingxue.

"Hahahaha!!"

Shen Congwu burst into laughter, his eyes bloodshot.

"Ridiculous! Who in Nanchuan Province doesn't know that Lingtian Middle School is my lifeline? Since the Beast King Cult dares to come to our door, you'll all die today!"

Shen Congwu took out a dark red pill from his storage ring, an overwhelming bloody stench emanating from it.

Chen Xiao's pupils constricted suddenly, his face contorted in shock.

"Are you insane? Once you consume the Blood-Burning Pill, there is a 50% chance that your rank will drop, and you might never be able to recover it in your lifetime. Is it really worth it for a lousy school?!"

Shen Congwu remained silent, shoving the pill into his mouth without hesitation.

He glared at Chen Xiao with murderous intent. His aura seemed to have been ignited by explosives, and his vital energy stained the sky crimson.

"Of course it's worth it! How could a beast in human form understand! Today, we fight to the death!"

"Frosty Sky Sparrow, go all out!"

A Seventh Level Frosty Sky Sparrow, covered in frost, flew out, its piercing cry shattering the clouds.

The temperature plummeted instantly, and water vapor condensed into frost that drifted down.

"Madman! You madman!"

Chen Xiao was both shocked and furious. He never expected Shen Congwu to be so resolute, even daring to risk his life with the Blood-Burning Pill.

Having consumed the Blood-Burning Pill, Shen Congwu's aura erupted like a volcano, his face contorted with ferocity from the surging vital energy.

Without wasting words, he sprang into action, rushing straight at Chen Xiao like a crimson streak of light!

"Frosty Sky Sparrow, Frosty Domain!"

Screech!

The Frosty Sky Sparrow spread its wings as endless frost energy spread out, forming a domain composed of ice and frost.

The Frosty Domain, a simulated domain skill, possessed a trace of the effects of a King Rank domain. Enemies within the domain experienced a significant speed reduction, and those of the same level found it difficult to escape its range.

"Shen Congwu, you're courting death!" Chen Xiao roared.

The demonic bloodline within him also stirred, a pair of blood-red wings sprouting from his back. His fingers transformed into razor-sharp claws, their blood-red, elongated nails carrying a foul stench as he charged toward Shen Congwu.

Boom!

Their first clash was like a meteor shower, the explosion resounding through the heavens and earth. An indescribable pressure filled the surroundings.

Shen Congwu was not a skilled martial artist. In all his years as principal, he could count the number of battles he had fought on two hands.

That's why he had to consume the Blood-Burning Pill; it was his only chance.

Kill Chen Xiao, and this deadly situation could be resolved!

......

Lingtian Middle School Gate.

Roars surged in from all directions like a tidal wave.

A large number of half-beasts, their eyes bloodshot and radiating a violent aura, were frantically charging towards the school gate.

These were the beast hybrids infected by the Beast Transforming Potion. Each had undergone partial beast-like transformation, acquiring claws, scales, and even tortoise shells...

Lin Yutang's gaze met those of the Beast King Cult members, his face growing increasingly ashen.

"I need a few teachers to come with me and force back the Beast King Cult people!"

He turned to Ling Qingxue. "Qingxue, you're the strongest here. If you can't win, retreat. At worst, retreat into the secret place!"

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Retreating into the secret place wasn't a good solution. The entrance to the secret place was singular. Once the enemy found a way to destroy it, everything within would be banished to the void.

Unless the situation was absolutely desperate, retreating into the secret place was unacceptable!

Lin Yutang, along with several teachers, rode on magical beasts and charged out, engaging the Beast King Cult members in battle.

The students of Lingtian Middle School looked at the endless sea of ​​half-beasts outside, their eyes filled with despair.

"We're done for! There are so many half-beasts, we can't possibly kill them all! We're doomed!"

"What nonsense! We're the geniuses of Nanchuan Province! A few mutts and you're scared like this? You coward!"

"Block the school gate! If we can hold out for a few hours, we'll definitely get reinforcements!"

"That's right! Everyone, let's fight our way out! Tell my mother I'm not a coward!"

Seeing the crowd's eagerness, Ling Qingxue raised her hand to stop them.

"We can't go out!"

Qin Hongyan frowned deeply. "Why? If we don't fight our way out, we'll be trapped here. We can't stop these hybrids."

"Those below the Fourth Rank can't withstand the corruption of the Beast Transformation Potion. Once you engage in close combat with them, you'll slowly be infected until you become like them. The only way to deal with them is through ranged attacks!"

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Range attacks?

Besides spirit formations, they only had a few martial arts techniques left. Even if they exhausted their vital and spiritual energy, they couldn't kill too many beasts!

Ling Qingxue's gaze sharpened. "From this moment on, everyone, obey my orders. Now, bring out all your spirit-restoring potions, pills, and elixirs!"

"I will set up a large spirit formation shortly. You will all take turns in groups, injecting your spiritual energy to keep it functioning. Go now!"

Perhaps out of instinctive submission to a powerful figure, everyone complied, bringing out their strengthening potions, pills, and elixirs.

Ling Qingxue took out a potion and swallowed it.

She rapidly refined the 'One Thousand Sources Return to One' technique, a torrent of spiritual energy surging through her meridians.

The next moment, her fingertips flashed rapidly, and countless spirit formations born from her spiritual energy flew out, covering the entire school gate.

A spirit formation even larger than the 'Autumn Water Without A Trace' was formed, its terrifying spiritual power sending shivers down everyone's spines.

As soon as the formation was completed, it condensed four illusory spirits, shredding the approaching hybrid beasts into a bloody pulp.

"Now, inject your spiritual power!!" Ling Qingxue shouted urgently.

She had already reached her limit in setting up such a massive spirit formation by herself. Maintaining it was impossible—only the combined spiritual power of everyone could sustain it.

All the students started to inject their own spiritual power into it, and the spirit formation began to operate, constantly drawing in the surrounding energy and using it as a power source for the four illusory spirits to continuously annihilate the approaching beasts.

Zhou Weiwei was filled with shock, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.

"This… this is a mid-grade combined spirit formation—the Four Spirits Annihilation Array! Even a Third Rank peak Spiritual Master couldn't possibly set it up!"

Mid-grade spirit formations were extremely powerful, enough to threaten mid-level martial artists. Only Fourth Rank or higher Spiritual Masters had a chance to set one up.

Ling Qingxue was only a Second Rank mid-stage Spiritual Master; setting up a mid-grade spirit formation? What a joke!

She's practically cheating!

Qin Hongyan gave a wry smile. "Cousin, don't worry about how she managed to set it up. Without this spirit formation, we'd be finished."

Only a spirit formation of this level could withstand the tidal wave of the hybrids' attacks.

With so many students at Lingtian Middle School taking turns to maintain the spirit formation, it was not impossible to hold out for a while.

"Now we can only wait for the governor to send troops!"
