Chapter 2322: Chapter 2326: Shock and Fury
The area of mid-tier grade five magical beasts within the Demonic Beast Forest.
Two young men at the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage cornered a delicate young girl against a large tree.
"Hehe, little girl, hand over your ring, otherwise, your secrets will be exposed!"
The two young men looked at the delicate girl with lewd grins.
This young girl was Sang Zhenye and Wu Xianxia’s granddaughter, Sang Zhirou.
Sang Zhirou was targeted by the two youths while hunting magical beasts, chasing her all the way to the area of mid-tier grade five magical beasts, she was still stopped by the two.
At this moment, Sang Zhirou was in disarray, but unhurt, yet her attire had been shredded into strips, large areas of her fair skin exposed to the air.
Sang Zhirou’s charming face was cold as she stared at the two youths before her. Her eyes were filled with extreme shame and anger, her small face pale, and her body trembled constantly, as if enduring extreme pain. Yet even so, there wasn’t a hint of cowardice in her eyes.
"If you have the guts, then kill me. Otherwise, I will kill you someday!"
Sang Zhirou spoke coldly. For a girl to be treated this way, it was more unbearable than being killed.
The two youths were stunned for a moment; they exchanged glances, showing a hint of hesitation. Although their methods were sinister, they knew that this girl’s identity was unusual. Reaching this point was already the limit, they couldn’t be too excessive.
They were aware of the techniques they used. The pair practiced a specific attack aimed at Divine Infant Realm cultivators. At this moment, Sang Zhirou was enduring the pain of a Divine Infant tear. Such an attack can only be utilized when the opponent’s state of mind is compromised, which is why they didn’t harm Sang Zhirou but instead sliced open her clothing.
Yet they hadn’t realized Sang Zhirou would be so resolute, enduring this extreme pain and humiliation without yielding and handing over the Space Ring used for her assessment.
"If that’s the case, don’t blame us for being ruthless!"
The two youths ground their teeth, their eyes flashing with cold light.
Their task was to clear out the Early Divine Infant Realm students of Changlin Academy. Completing the task would earn them a rich reward from the academy—sufficient to outweigh their fear of Changlin Academy and the girl’s identity.
"You dare!"
Just then, an angry shout erupted, and a rather disheveled figure appeared before the three.
"Senior Jian!"
Seeing the newcomer, Sang Zhirou showed a glimmer of joy, calling out.
The newcomer was Changlin Academy’s Jian Wuheng, whose situation wasn’t favorable either. His body was covered in terrible wounds, his complexion extremely pale, blood continually dripping from his mouth.
"Jian Wuheng!?"
The two youths revealed a look of surprise in their eyes, then noticed Jian Wuheng’s state, their lips curling into a smirk: "Senior Jian is likely being pursued, isn’t he? Moreover, it seems you can’t attack us."
Jian Wuheng shot them a cold glance, looked behind him with a slight frown.
Behind him, three formidable presences were rushing toward them swiftly.
Whiz!
Without hesitation, Jian Wuheng suddenly flashed beside Sang Zhirou, lifted her off the ground, and dashed toward the area of late-grade five magical beasts.
He and Sang Zhirou had the same thought, intending to use the power of the beasts to repel the enemies.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
The two youths hesitated momentarily, then their faces darkened, moving to pursue.
"Continue to hunt down the Early Divine Infant Realm students from Changlin Academy. Leave them to us. Since Jian Wuheng led them to the area of late-grade five magical beasts, I want to see if that girl with her Early Divine Infant Realm strength can survive there!"
A sinister voice sounded, as three figures sped off after Jian Wuheng.
"Yes!"
The two youths responded, reluctantly glancing in the direction of Jian Wuheng’s disappearance, lamenting their failure to obtain Sang Zhirou’s Space Ring, likely missing out on the academy’s reward!
...
In the lush forest, a figure darted rapidly.
"Bastards! Bastards! Dare to attack our Changlin Academy members, just wait!"
Yun Tao’s eyes showed rage, his figure swiftly heading toward the area of mid-tier grade five magical beasts.
Just a moment ago, an academy assessment student who had good relations with Changlin Academy informed him that academy members were being hunted down. So, he rushed toward the area of mid-tier grade five magical beasts, hoping to rescue a few academy students.
Although higher-realm students can’t attack lower-realm students, they can step in like Jian Wuheng and simply take them away.
Swish, swish!
Suddenly, figures appeared up ahead. Yun Tao slightly furrowed his brow, scanning with his Divine Sense.
"Wu Hen! Zhi Rou?!"
Feeling the two familiar auras, Yun Tao’s expression changed, eyes instantly flashing with icy cold light, accelerating toward the silhouettes.
This is the area of late-grade five magical beasts. If Jian Wuheng and Sang Zhirou hadn’t encountered trouble, they definitely wouldn’t have come here, especially Sang Zhirou with only her Early Divine Infant Realm strength.
Having just flown a distance toward them, killing intent erupted from Yun Tao as he clearly saw the appearances of Jian Wuheng and Sang Zhirou, also sensing the three figures chasing behind them.
Swish!
With a swift flash, Yun Tao appeared beside them, supporting the shaky flying Jian Wuheng.
"Wu Hen, Zhi Rou, are you alright?"
Yun Tao spoke worriedly, and upon seeing Sang Zhirou’s tattered attire, his face darkened severely, killing intent burst forth as he turned to coldly watch the three pursuing from behind, sending murderous intent toward them.
The three pursuers halted their pursuit, panicking: "What do you intend? Do you want to be disqualified?"
"Using such tactics on a girl, leave your lives here for me!"
Yun Tao spoke coldly, drawing the black greatsword from his back.
The three pursuing students’ faces changed drastically, rapidly retreating. Yun Tao’s killing intent convinced them he wasn’t merely frightening them; he would undoubtedly strike—and with a lethal blow!
"Yun Tao! Calm down, you mustn’t be disqualified!"
Jian Wuheng grabbed Yun Tao’s arm, speaking anxiously: "I just checked the edge of the forest. Our Changlin Academy students have already been disqualified by over thirty. Only you and Sang Zhenglong remain at Late Divine Infant Realm, with Senior Lei and Sister Fire Phoenix at Divine Infant Realm Peak. You cannot be disqualified; our numbers are dwindling!"
"What, these bastards!"
The fury instantly overwhelmed Yun Tao’s senses, eyes wide with rage!
