Chapter 2393: Chapter 2397: Admit Defeat (Bonus Chapter for ’Shen Ai’!)
"Perfect Great Dao Divine Wheel?! And it’s the Spatial Path?!"
Pang Wenyan’s eyes showed a trace of shock, but then her expression sank as she spoke coldly, "A Great Dao Comprehension at the mid-stage of the Virtual Refinement Realm dares to take me on? You’re courting death!"
A majestic aura surged skyward, Pang Wenyan lightly raised her lotus arm, and the brilliant green Great Dao Divine Light burst forth from her body, instantly condensing into a jade-like hand in front of her, in a lotus-snapping gesture filled with elegance.
"Jade Lotus Hand!"
Pang Wenyan gave a low shout and pushed forward with her palm, and that jade-like hand instantly collided with the sword shadow.
Bang!
A sound of explosion rang out, the sword shadow shattered on impact, transforming into a violent Power of Space that spread around.
The two engaged in battle, and in a flash, an unexpected change occurred, leaving everyone stunned. As the violent Qi Force spread, the surrounding people were caught off guard and instantly blown away.
While being knocked back, Ling’er glanced over at Zhang Tian’s location, a smile tugging at her lips.
Hee hee, I’ve helped Brother Jiang Chen!
"Ah!"
At this moment, a shrill shout sounded, and everyone’s hearts trembled as they turned to look.
The space where Zhang Tian was located was slowly recovering, and within that space, a blood mist drifted away with the wind.
"Damn it!"
Pang Wenyan’s face changed, suddenly realizing that the person wasn’t attacking her but was trying to block her, preventing her from rescuing Zhang Tian.
Jiang Chen was also a bit surprised, not expecting his move to be accomplished so easily, casting a curious glance at Pang Wenyan.
This person... is strong enough, but seems to lack combat experience!
"You’re courting death!"
With Zhang Tian’s death, Pang Wenyan felt unshirkable responsibility, and a surge of fury rose in her heart, forming a hand seal and shouting out: "Jade Lotus Hand, Lotus Annihilation of Demons!"
Woosh!
The jade-like hand shifted from a lotus-snapping gesture, raising vertically, an aura of Destruction Power emanated from it, the entire hand glowing brilliantly, a dignified Qi Force gathered in the palm, swiftly striking toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s eyes changed, this force was probably the strongest he had ever encountered. Just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly realized it was too late.
The corner of his eye caught sight of Zhang Lin being knocked back to his side, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, collecting the Spatial Path Divine Ring and Dao Rhythm to his body, Spiritual Energy madly circulating within forming a Spiritual Power light shield, clearly intending to take this attack head-on.
Bang!
The jade hand struck Jiang Chen’s body fiercely, and he was instantly sent flying backward, yet using this force, Jiang Chen’s figure shot toward Zhang Lin at an angle like a cannonball.
"Jiang..."
"Teacher..."
Mu Ling’er and Yun Tao’s faces both changed drastically, opening their mouths to shout, but just as they were about to vocalize, they swallowed their words.
Pfft!
Flying in the air, Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his face becoming ferocious.
He had only one chance for a strike. If it didn’t hit, he would have to retreat swiftly; otherwise, he would certainly be left here by Pang Wenyan, and if his identity were exposed then, it would be trouble!
"Ice Void Needle!"
With a low cry in his heart, an ice crystal light flashed between his brows.
Swish!
The icy needle shot out instantly, appearing directly in front of Zhang Lin’s brow.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen still intended to do harm, Pang Wenyan’s eyes reflected killing intent, as a massive amount of Spiritual Energy erupted, and a more brilliant Great Dao Divine Light burst from within her, forming another jade-like hand.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a violent Blood Fiend Power erupted from Jiang Chen’s body, fiercely crashing into Pang Wenyan.
Feeling the bloodstained aura contained within this Blood Fiend Power, Pang Wenyan’s eyes reflected mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and her heart involuntarily trembled.
"No!"
As Pang Wenyan’s mind lost focus for a moment, a shout of extreme panic rang out.
Whizz!
The Ice Void Needle shot into Zhang Lin’s brows in his terrified gaze.
Crack, crack, crack!
Instantly, Zhang Lin’s whole body was frozen into a chunk of ice exuding coldness.
"Explode!"
Jiang Chen retracted the Blood Fiend Aura, murmuring lowly and darted directly towards the dense forest.
Boom!
A violent roar rang out, Zhang Lin exploded, turning into countless falling ice crystals.
"Bastard! I’ll kill you!"
Pang Wenyan exploded with a cold killing intent, intending to chase Jiang Chen.
"Sister Pang, aren’t you going to inspect our mission?"
A somewhat immature voice sounded in Pang Wenyan’s ear, and Mu Ling’er suddenly appeared in front of her, a fierce gleam flashing in her eyes.
This bad sister, she got Brother Jiang Chen hurt!
Pang Wenyan’s heart shuddered. With her realm at the peak of Virtual Refinement Realm, she hadn’t noticed when Mu Ling’er appeared in front of her, and the moment she met Mu Ling’er’s gaze, her heart throbbed, as if being targeted by a beast from the abyss.
"No need to pursue, continue the mission, I’ll take care of it."
At this moment, a somewhat helpless voice transmission echoed in Pang Wenyan’s mind.
Pang Wenyan’s form halted, abruptly stopping her pursuit.
Meanwhile, a voice called out from the dense forest: "I have no intention to be enemies with Changling Academy, but I have an irreconcilable enmity with those two. If there has been any offense, please forgive us, esteemed Academy!"
Hearing the voice, Yun Tao, who had been holding his tension, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, casting a slightly angry glance at Pang Wenyan and shouting out: "Continue the mission!"
Mu Qianrou and others regained their composure, casting a surprised glance at the somewhat angry Yun Tao, thinking he was upset over someone attacking the academy’s examinees, said nothing, and rushed towards the remaining three obstructing examinees. Even though Zhang Tian and the others were dead, the mission had to continue.
"We surrender!"
"Surrender!"
The remaining three dared not battle Yun Tao and the rest any longer. Losing two great fighters, they were no match for Yun Tao’s group and hastily called for surrender.
Yun Tao’s group came to a stop, leaping to stand beside Pang Wenyan.
"Senior Sister Pang, should we handle Zhang Tian’s matters or continue with the mission?"
Yun Tao’s face held a somewhat cold expression as he looked at Pang Wenyan.
This straightforward guy couldn’t deliberately hide his emotions. Facing Pang Wenyan, who had injured Jiang Chen, he was already showing restraint by not acting, even though he knew he wasn’t her opponent, it wasn’t his lack of action due to that, but the desire to keep Jiang Chen’s identity concealed.
Pang Wenyan’s brows furrowed slightly, she glanced at Yun Tao, then at Mu Ling’er, deeply inhaled, and softly said, "Let us bury these two, after all, they were examinees."
"I’ll go on guard duty!"
"I’ll keep watch!"
As soon as Pang Wenyan finished speaking, Yun Tao and Mu Ling’er spoke almost simultaneously, the two exchanged glances and, ignoring Pang Wenyan’s reaction, sprang into the surrounding giant trees.
Expecting them to assist in burying Zhang Tian and the others was clearly impossible.
