Li Shen stared down from his position in the air.
What remained of his clothes was already soaked in blood. His burly appearance added to this gave him the look of an unbeatable titan in myths and legends.
Down on the ground, within the crowd of disciples, a few of them were looking up at Li Shen with expressions of terror.
Li Shen had carried out a massacre targeting them from the crowd like he knew they were from the Demonic Cult.
These demonic disciples have long come to realize this and were now filled with apprehension. The joy of watching these fools from the Celestial Academy run around not knowing they were seconds away from being stabbed in the back was completely gone.
They lost the ability to keep to the shadows and mingle with the crowd. All because of that monster who just appeared all of a sudden.
‘What are we going to do now? He’s able to somehow know our identities!’
‘Fool! Don’t panic and continue to carry out the orders. He’s only one person and there are many of us, he can’t take us all out. He’ll eventually get exhausted and that’s when we surround and kill him! Ugh!!’
The person who just spoke had his neck grabbed by Li Shen.
“NO! What are you doing, I’m a Celestial Academy disciple you can’t kill me!”
Snap!
Without any hesitation, Li Shen clenched his fist and broke his neck.
‘We-We can't fight against that monster, we're all going to be killed if we continue!’
A disciple in the crowd was suddenly seen rising into the air on his sword with a panicked expression. However, a Celestial Academy disciple down below suddenly had her eyes flicker.
She move instantly and approached that demonic disciple. Her palm radiate a terrifying aura as it slammed into his back.
Shattering of bones echoed out and that demonic disciple coughed out blood along with pieces of his organs.
He landed on the ground hard and the people around him looked on with varied expressions.
The battle in this area had paused for a moment.
The female disciple who had made the strike continued towards him.
The demonic disciple struggled to turn around, and while crawling back he forced out.
“Wh-What are you doing?! Everyone kill her! She’s one of those Demonic Cult bastards for attacking me from behind!”
Hearing that, the disciples in the surroundings looked between him on the ground and the female disciple approaching.
What should they do? Who should they attack?
“Anyone who runs away from this battlefield is to be treated as a demonic disciple. With that person here that knows how to identify them, they will be scared enough to start running!”
The female disciple yelled before she stood over the panicking demonic disciple, sword in hand she severed his head clean off.
She then spun around and rose into the air, showing that she was in the late stage of the Foundation realm.
Her eyes started to scan the crowd.
The demonic disciples seeing this all felt their hearts drop to the pit of their stomachs.
‘That fool deserves to die for trying to disobey orders.’
‘So you want to stay here and be killed by that monster? I can’t, I’m not going to die here!’
A disciple suddenly rose into the air and the female disciple’s head immediately snap towards his direction.
However, before she could make a move four disciples rush towards him.
“NO! I’m a disciple of the Celestial Academy! Don’t listen to that woman!”
However, his screams went unheard as the four disciples surround and bombard him with attacks until he was obliterated.
One of the four disciples who made the attack raised his head and hollered in a furious voice.
“Everyone! With that person on our side we can find these demonic cult bastards posing as us Celestial Academy disciples! Anyone who runs away is a part of the Demonic Cult!!”
With another shout saying the same thing, every Celestial Academy disciple in the surroundings began observing the ones who make a move to escape.
With this, the demonic disciples mingled in the crowd couldn’t escape, and could only wait for Li Shen to pick them out before killing them.
They all felt dread overwhelm them in this situation.
But suddenly, Li Shen's mountain of a figure appeared behind the disciple who had just yelled.
His right palm glowing with a golden light immediately slammed into the disciple’s back.
That disciple’s internal organs turned to mush before he coughed out a puddle of blood as he hit the ground dead.
Li Shen’s figure then disappeared, leaving the other three disciples who attack to look at the dead disciple who turns out to be a demonic disciple.
Chills.
‘We don’t know how he’s identifying us so that bastard’s plan won’t work.’
‘Then what should we do?’
‘Just attack indiscriminately! If we cause enough commotion it might be hard for him to pick us out. Our plan is also to confuse among the disciples so just start killing!!’
The female disciple who was looking over the crowd spun around as someone had sneaked up on her.
She blocked his sword attack but was knocked back.
“You bitch from the Demonic Cult just killed our disciple, unforgivable!”
He then rushed towards her but several people from the crowd jump to intercept him.
“Bastard! Do you think that will work?! You're the one who's apart of the Demonic Cult!”
These people all had vicious expressions on their faces as they charge towards that demonic disciple. However, a few of them suddenly had their eyes flicker before they start attacking people in the group charging. All while shouting accusations of them being demonic disciples.
The cohesion that was being built up because of Li Shen’s appearance quickly crumbled and the chaotic battles that were gone returned once more.
Li Shen looked at this and frowned.
He was reading their emotions to identify them, but now all he could see was rage. The fear of being discovered was gone leaving him no way to distinguish Celestial Academy disciples.
‘Dammit.’
Li Shen could only curse. He had done all he could but he was only one person, he didn’t have the means to continue. He had to head back to his courtyard as well by taking a teleportation circle to avoid wasting time.
He had avoided battlefields where he sensed Core Formation Realm fluctuations so far. If he continued further he would be able to reach the Teleportation Hall.
Li Shen looked at the chaotic battlefield feeling completely useless to stop it. He clenched his fists and moved to leave, but he suddenly saw something.
His body immediately flickered and he headed down to the crowd of disciples in a hurry.
Fuangu was facing off a disciple wearing Celestial Academy robes. He was breathing heavily and a long sword slash could be seen on his chest. It was bleeding profusely and the blood loss made his face pale.
He was still in somewhat of a stupor. He had been walking with the members of the Shoeless Hero Faction when the Guardian Treasure bell rang.
After that, he just saw disciples in the surroundings start to attack each other. Disciples that were once chattering and laughing with friends started to cut them down in cold blood with expressionless faces.
It completely caught him off guard, and what was worse was that two people out of his group suddenly started attacking everyone.
His friends, people who he considered brothers and sisters were laying dead by his feet, murdered in cold blood by people he and they had trusted.
Fuangu stared at this disciple with so much hatred that the pain he was physically feeling couldn’t compare to how much heartache he was feeling.
He rushed forward completely abandoning all defenses. As long as he could take this bastard down with him he didn’t care about anything else, he had to make him pay for what he did.
“Fucking bastard, DIE!!”
Fuangu yelled as he rushed forward, his early Foundation Realm cultivation at the 2nd stage that was titter on the verge of collapse from being pushed too far blaze to life. He was using his life essence to fuel his cultivation for one last attack.
