Chapter 2323: Chapter 2327: Jiang Chen Arrives
"What!? These bastards!"
Yun Tao’s face was tense, and the murderous intent in his eyes had almost reached the point where he wanted to tear them apart. He looked coldly at the three Mid Divine Infant Realm students in the distance, wishing he could rush up and shred them to pieces!
"Yo, Yun Tao, pretty angry, huh? What’s got you so worked up? Want to share it with us, so we can have a good laugh?"
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.
Yun Tao’s expression changed. He flashed to the ground, pulling Jian Wuheng with him, placing Jian Wuheng and the other under a giant tree, and then turned to look ahead.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three figures landed in front of Yun Tao. At the same time, the three Mid Divine Infant Realm students who were chasing Jian Wuheng also flew over, landing behind the later three.
"Chen Liang? So it was Qing Hai Academy’s doing after all!"
Yun Tao looked at the man in the center of the three who arrived later with a somber expression.
The three who came later were all at the Late Divine Infant Realm, and from their attire, they came from three different schools, just matching the three Mid Divine Infant Realm students behind them.
"Yun Tao, your Changlin Academy has monopolized the title of branch academy for long enough. It’s time for a change!"
Chen Liang smiled lightly, glanced at the heavily panting Jian Wuheng and the other beside the tree, and said with a sneer, "Tell you what, if you let our three juniors eliminate that Jian Wuheng, we’ll let you two leave. How about it?"
The other five all paused, then looked mockingly at Yun Tao.
Everyone had the aura of elders from various academies locked onto them, and Yun Tao, Jian Wuheng, and Sang Zhirou were all connected with significant figures from Changlin Academy, undoubtedly under scrutiny.
If Yun Tao really agreed to abandon Jian Wuheng at this moment, even if just as a temporary measure, it would bring shame to everyone in Changlin Academy. At the same time, they could also spread the word that the students of Changlin Academy would forsake their own severely injured comrades, and that the one to abandon his own junior fellow was a disciple of one of the Four Great Elders.
This would utterly ruin the reputation of Changlin Academy!
"Bastard! I, Yun Tao, will never abandon my comrades!"
Yun Tao glared at Chen Liang with a dark expression, his eyes full of fury.
Though straightforward by nature, he wasn’t stupid and understood Chen Liang’s sinister intentions.
At this moment, Yun Tao faced three Late Divine Infant Realm and three Mid Divine Infant Realm cultivators from three different academies, high-level individuals couldn’t attack lower-level students, but lower-level could attack higher-level cultivators, at which point Yun Tao could fight back.
However, now that Jian Wuheng and the other had almost no combat ability, Yun Tao alone couldn’t fend off the attacks of six people. At this moment, it was indeed wise to watch out for himself.
But Yun Tao knew that even if he agreed to Chen Liang’s demands, neither Jian Wuheng nor Hu Yiqiu and others would blame him, yet his Dao Heart would not allow him to agree to such a disgraceful act!
"What? Still trying to hold strong?"
Chen Liang sneered, "In that case, don’t blame us for bullying you with numbers. Your Changlin Academy has held the branch academy’s title long enough. It’s time for a change!"
"Chen Liang, just you wait! After the academy entrance test, I swear I will make you regret your actions today!"
Yun Tao gritted his teeth, glaring ice-coldly at the speaking youth.
Chen Liang’s face slightly changed, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. Although they were of the same level, he didn’t consider himself Yun Tao’s match, and being targeted by Yun Tao in the future would be quite troublesome.
"Chen Liang, are you scared? After the test, we will enter the Changling Main Court for cultivation. With the many treasures there to assist us, Yun Tao will only have the chance to look up to us!"
On Chen Liang’s left, a youth with a cold expression mocked, his gaze at Yun Tao filled with ridicule.
Upon hearing this, Chen Liang suddenly came back to his senses, sneering, "Yeah, I’m going to refine in the Changling Main Court. Yun Tao, even if you pass the next session’s test and enter the main court, you’ll have five less years of cultivation than me. By then, I might be able to crush you with one hand!"
"None of you will enter the main court!"
A cold, angry voice rang out, and a figure appeared behind Chen Liang’s group of six.
"Junior brother!"
Yun Tao’s eyes lit up, joyfully calling out to the newly appeared figure.
"Jiang Chen?!"
"Jiang Chen!"
Jian Wuheng and Sang Zhirou’s expressions also brightened, but immediately turned pale, urgently shouting, "Jiang Chen, leave now. Leave this place; they’ve joined forces against our academy, and many students have already been eliminated. You mustn’t be as well!"
"Leave? And where would I go? You, a mere Mid Divine Infant Realm, dare to appear here, then stay with us!"
Chen Liang and his companions turned to look at Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with mockery.
Swish, swish, swish!
The three Mid Divine Infant Realm students on Chen Liang’s side swiftly moved to encircle Jiang Chen.
"Wuheng, Zhirou, don’t worry. I will personally seek out those who dare to oppose our academy!"
Jiang Chen ignored the three encircling him and turned to Jian Wuheng and Sang Zhirou.
"What happened to you two...?"
Upon seeing the state of Jian Wuheng and Sang Zhirou, Jiang Chen frowned deeply, a glint of coldness in his eyes. Particularly, Sang Zhirou’s torn clothes and the violent aura emanating from within her made Jiang Chen’s fury instantly ignite.
"Attacks targeting the Divine Infant, along with such humiliating tactics? You are in for it!"
Buzz!
A freezing aura burst forth from Jiang Chen, his fierce murderous intent instantly enveloping Chen Liang’s group of six.
"What, you’re planning to face us with your pitiful Mid Divine Infant Realm strength? Hu Yiqiu was called the Wine-crazed, and his disciples are equally crazy? You have no self-awareness!"
A cold-faced youth beside Chen Liang mocked, his gaze at Jiang Chen full of disdain.
"You think you can just call out my master’s name?"
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered with a cold gleam, staring intently at the cold-faced youth.
The youth’s face slightly changed; he glanced at the sky, apprehension in his eyes. With the two disciples here, Hu Yiqiu was surely keeping them locked with his aura. If his disrespectful words were heard by him, there could be trouble.
Thinking of this, the cold-faced youth closed his mouth, not responding to Jiang Chen.
"Kid, if you obediently leave now, I can decide to let you walk away!"
Chen Liang’s gaze shifted as he attempted to use the same tactic again.
