"Ancient dragon!" Ji Fengyan shouted.
In mid-flight, the ancient dragon heard Ji Fengyan's call and immediately rushed over, completely disregarding the demons biting at its flanks. In one swoop, the dragon swept aside the demons surrounding Ji Fengyan and gang. It then scooped up the four persons in its gigantic mouth and tossed them behind the wall into the institute, before continuing its battle with the demons!
Ji Fengyan gathered her vital energy to form a barrier around the four of them to cushion their landing.
Subsequently, she sent the three guys into the school of gold cultivators, which was right at the heart of the institute and the furthest from the battle action!
Xi Sinong was just holding tightly onto a gold cultivated bomb when the strong scent of blood wafted over. He turned to see Ji Fengyan dragging three blood-soaked guys in.
"Fengyan!" Xi Sinong's face had turned a ghastly pale.
"Please take care of them." Ji Fengyan left the three guys on the ground and placed a few dozen bottles of elixirs on a nearby table. She briefly instructed Xi Sinong on their usage before turning to leave.
Xi Sinong looked at the three blood-covered youths with a pounding heart. He called out to Ji Fengyan.
"Fengyan!"
Ji Fengyan paused.
"Are we going to survive this time?" Xi Sinong stared at Ji Fengyan's back profile.
"I don't know." Ji Fengyan's voice rose gradually. "But if we don't try our best—we won't stand the slightest chance."
With that, Ji Fengyan left.
Biting his lips and tightly clenching his fists, Xi Sinong was terrified. Nevertheless, the groans of Liu Kai and company knocked Xi Sinong back to his senses. He looked at the bloodied bodies of the three guys and took a deep breath. Rolling his wheelchair over to the side, he took down a pair of metal leg crutches which he had cultivated himself. He strapped them to his own legs.
The crutches were extremely clumsy as it was still a work-in-progress. They were not completely compatible with Xi Sinong's legs. With every step, Xi Sinong could feel the edges of the crutches cutting into his flesh. He gritted his teeth as he fed Liu Kai and gang the elixirs.
When Ji Fengyan returned to the battlefield, it had already turned into a scene from hell. The giant lightning beasts had destroyed the capital institute's last line of defense and a dense mob of demons swarmed into the institute!
The crowd of injured students in the school of pharmacy were being quickly relocated to a safer place. However, many youths had broken their bones after falling off the wall from the lightning attack—they were torn to pieces as they laid immobile and defenseless in the demons' path…
Seeing their own schoolmates being devoured alive by those demons, the eyes of the other youths reddened at the sight of that bloodbath.
A few of the injured young sorcerers—knowing they had no means of escape—had cried out a final spell just as the demons pounced. They chose to detonate all the magical energy within themselves and bring along the demons in death.
By the time Ji Fengyan had rushed over, the demon army had already barged into the institute. Qin Muyao was leading a small band of Terminators in a final battle with the demons.
The institute director and tutors were also fighting to delay the demons' advance, so as to offer the injured students more time to escape.
