"Hey, keep your spirits up!" The leader of the supplies shouted as he looked at the absent-minded soldiers.
"Captain, we've been shipping supplies for eight years and we haven't seen any thieves. There shouldn't be any danger," a soldier grumbled.
"Luocheng is currently at the first rank of an emergency order. Up until now, I've never heard of such a high rank. Something must have happened." The captain explained.
"What's there to be afraid of? There really is such a petty person. I'll definitely make him die under my blade!" The soldier was pleased with himself. He was eight years old and was practicing martial arts, but now he had the ability to repay his country.
"Really?"
The sound of someone's voice came from behind him. Then, he stabbed the long knife into the back of the person's body.
"Ah!" The soldier fell down in disbelief. How could this be? His speed was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to react.
"Not good, enemy attack!" The leader pulled out his long blade and reacted.
He saw the other soldiers fall and saw the man in black slowly pull out his saber as he stared at him.
"Who are you people? How dare you kill the officials and soldiers of the city!" The captain trembled, hoping to frighten them.
"We're not human," he said, and rushed over to finish him off.
Early in the morning, the children would rush to the summit of the back mountain of Luo City and take off their clothes to meditate. They hoped that they could meditate and absorb the spiritual energy as soon as possible.
Mrs. Shuiyue felt a little strange. Why are all the children so obedient now? Perhaps the death of their partners had some impact on them. Hmph, other than Hu Zi who can succeed, all of you should die.
Under the guidance of Teacher Zeng Bo, Chao Yang had clearly improved. Although he still hadn't succeeded in becoming one with the world, it was very easy for him to calm down and put aside all distractions. As long as he persevered, he would definitely succeed.
The other children were no longer quietly cultivating like before.
"Where did that group of country bumpkins go?" There was no one in the training grounds. Several young masters were looking around.
"Today may be the day of spiritual training at the back of the mountain." Ling Cong explained, proving that he knew more.
"Yesterday afternoon, I saw them getting beaten up, and I thought that today was still the same. I didn't expect that they would have changed their location …"
"If those soldiers dare to hit me like that, I'll skin them and skin them. I don't dare to hurt them and they will show them my filial piety." Saying this, he displayed his literary talent.
Suddenly, five silver-helmeted soldiers approached in quick steps and surrounded them.
"Are you kids cultivating? Where are the others?" one of them asked.
The young master who was reciting poetry just now was furious on the spot, "How dare you! How can you speak like that?!" These soldiers were so arrogant nowadays. They didn't know that my father was the military's envoy, Li Gang.
With a "pa" sound, a soldier's palm flew across the air. The other young masters had never met such a ferocious soldier before, and they couldn't help but retreat a few steps back.
The young master's face swelled up after being slapped. He cried out and touched his own face, "My father is Li Gang, both of you will die!"
"I'll say it again, are you …"
This made Cong Cong feel that something was wrong. This was no ordinary soldier. "We are not. They are training in the back mountain."
"Alright!" With that, he waved his hand and the other four soldiers immediately took out their sabers to kill the other young masters. In an instant, the other young masters fell to the ground without even shouting.
This shocked everyone. Who exactly were they, daring to kill without a care?
"You're very smart. Lead the way to the back mountain."
"Yes!" Ling Cong quickly replied.
Seeing that the children's training time was almost up, Mrs. Shuiyue concluded, "You've done well. If you persevere, you'll be successful. The afternoon's training is a bit more taxing, so go eat and rest first before you disperse!"
Just as he finished speaking, a few people walked up from the foot of the mountain, only to see Ling Cong, who was sweating profusely, bringing five silver-helmeted soldiers with him.
The children's faces were full of questions. Who was this?
Shuiyue also felt that it was strange. He suddenly saw Ling Cong run over. "Master Shuiyue, save me!"
Five shuriken swords flew towards Cong Cong. Shuiyue quickly made her move. Five shuriken swords flew out from her sleeves, blocking the incoming sword.
"Don't be too excessive, young man, to dare kill someone in front of me!" Mrs. Shuiyue looked disdainfully at them.
"Haha, master is indeed formidable!"
"Appear!" Five balls of white mist floated out. The five soldiers from earlier had turned into masked men in black. They were the five assassins from the Group A division sent by the Wind City.
"This teacher, I will deal with it. Quickly kill all the children. Don't let reinforcements rush here." Fifth Elder began to give the order.
Shuiyue was shocked. This must have been sent from Wind City, so she didn't want them to kill the children. But if I didn't do anything, then it would be hard for them to pass on the message to my fellow brothers. No matter how many signals they sent, they would just throw a talisman in their sleeves high up in the sky.
"Explode!" Mrs. Shuiyue raised two fingers and shouted.
A loud sound echoed through the sky.
"Not good, he's asking for reinforcements. All of you, charge up!"
A "good" A 1, A 2, A 3, A 4 unsheathed their sabers and rushed forward. The children were startled and quickly surrounded the teacher.
"Don't even think about succeeding!" Mrs. Shuiyue was worthy of being called an earth elementalist. She quickly took out a scroll from her sleeve with a large "Defend" circle in the middle. She had originally wanted to use water escape, but now that there was no water element at the peak of the mountain, her power was greatly reduced.
"It's useless." A'Wu's eyes suddenly shot out rays of light.
When Shuiyue looked at him, she was instantly shocked.
"This is?" "How is this possible!?"
A pair of blood-red eyes were staring at him from two holes in the A'Wu's mask. His black pupils slowly formed into three comma-like little gouyu. Gouyu quickly turned and red blood flowed out of the corner of her eyes.
"Blood Wheel Eyes!"
His hands supported his upper body as he weakly panted. Suddenly, a skeletal hand stretched out from the ground and grabbed his neck, exerting its strength. Shuiyue instinctively grabbed his neck hand and began to struggle slowly.
The children still didn't know what had happened to their teacher. They only saw him kneeling on the ground and grabbing his own neck in pain.
"This is A'Wu's illusion technique. That teacher has already been hit by it. Let's start slaughtering!"
The shuriken flew over from all directions. It seemed like they needed to deal with it quickly.
"Be careful!" Chao Yang saw the shurikens flying from behind and quickly pounced forward to block the Rising Tiger.
"Ah!" After stabbing a few shuriken blades into his back, Chao Yang fell to the ground.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong?" Chao Hu turned around and saw that Chao Yang had fallen. He hurriedly hugged him.
Ling Cong also hurriedly squatted down and looked at him. It was he who had saved her.
"This world is too cruel. Huzi, I might die. If you can survive, take care of my parents and burn a beautiful daughter-in-law for me!" Chao Yang spat out blood as he spoke to Chao Hu.
"Brother Yang, nothing will happen to you!" Chao Hu's tears flowed.
"Huh? The shuriken didn't kill the three of them!" A Four looked over and saw that the kid had blocked them. Hmph, he took out another five shuriken and aimed it at them and threw it with all his might.
"Let's see how you can run now, haha!"
The three of them looked at the flying small sword and thought, this is bad. Could this be the end of our lives?
Several thick black vines flew out to block the shuriken before catching it and throwing it back at the fourth rank.
"Who is it?" Before he could finish his sentence, two more vines grew from the ground and wrapped around his legs. Then, it slowly extended and wrapped around his entire body like a python squeezing.
"Ah!" A'Si screamed in pain. His body was crushed into pieces. He did not even manage to see clearly who did it.
With the exception of the three children who were killed just now, the first, second, and third children all died. They all retreated back to the fifth rank as soon as they saw the abnormality in the fourth rank.
The tree vines drilled out from the ground, their target being them.
"Number one, three, quick!" Number five felt that the tree vines were too strange.
"Yes!" The two of them quickly formed a seal with their hands.
"Fire Escape, Magnificent Fireball!"
Two huge fireballs were spat out from their mouths, quickly clashing against the tree vines. The tree vines paused for a while, before quickly forming a round shield.
"Wood tree vines that aren't even afraid of fire escape? "We can't stay here any longer, let's go." A'Wu gave the order.
"You want to leave after killing someone? He was holding an Elder's meeting in Luocheng, but when he heard the Academy's signal for reinforcements, he immediately felt something was wrong and rushed back. After that, there were loud noises coming from the back mountains, and he rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, the disciples were all dead at the top of the mountain, their junior brothers were lying on the ground, and the four men in black were trying to leave.
"Senior!" The other three teachers had rushed over as well. They were on a mission, but upon receiving the signal, they immediately suspended it and returned.
"Fifth Junior, hurry up and help Second Junior Brother and the children heal. Leave this place to us!" Liu Zhe stared at the man in black.
"Yes!" Wen Ming carried the unconscious Shui Yue to Chao Yang. Seeing that the latter was more serious, he used a healing technique to treat his injuries.
