Chapter 24 - War on the verge of breaking out

Although I was still a little confused, I still immediately followed Shen Tuo and ran out. The dean had long taken the opportunity to escape. We didn't have any time to pursue the matter, so we jogged back to Su Xiao's floor.

As soon as the elevator opened, I felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

However, the moment we opened the door to Su Xiao's room, I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, as I stood rooted to the spot.

The moonlight outside the window was very bright, illuminating the entire room. But at this moment, I actually wished that the room would remain dark, so that I wouldn't have to see the horrible scene in front of me.

He saw Su Xiao lying motionless on the bed, as if her four limbs were tied up by an invisible rope. But the fear in her eyes couldn't be hidden in the slightest, and what was even more shocking was, at this moment, less than 20 centimeters above Su Xiao, a red ghost girl floated out of thin air!

Who else could it be other than Zhao Xue!

I saw her face to face with Su Xiao. Zhao Xue's body was flat, showing a posture that was parallel to Su Xiao's. Her long, wet hair was coiled around Su Xiao's neck. In the darkness, I could actually clearly see her long, green hair slowly twirling around Su Xiao's neck.

Zhao Xue's blood-red long skirt was dripping water. However, when the water fell onto Su Xiaoxiao's blue and white hospital gown, it suddenly turned a glaring scarlet.

Seemingly sensing that someone was disturbing her, Zhao Xue slowly turned around. I saw the pair of blood-red lips on her deathly pale face bend slightly. Her long hair tugged at Su Xiao's neck. A pained expression appeared in her eyes.

Before Zhao Xue could react, Shen Tuo took out a spell from his chest pocket. He stretched out his sword fingers and chanted something unknown. Then, he threw the spell at Zhao Xue's back.

The sigil firmly stuck onto Zhao Xue's body. Ignoring Zhao Xue's wet clothes, it began to burn by itself. Zhao Xue's back also started to make hissing sounds. It was like a red-hot soldering iron being roasted in a TV show, suddenly sticking to the prisoner's bare skin.

Zhao Xue let out a painful scream, and with an extremely fast speed, she turned around and flew towards Shen Tuo. At this moment, Shen Tuo was already using the gap in the middle to form a formation using a rune. I reacted and realised that I couldn't help him. I simply leaned against the corner of the wall and slowly moved towards Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiao still couldn't move. Just thinking about Zhao Xue sticking close to her, I actually didn't dare to approach her.

At this time, Zhao Xue's blood-red sleeves suddenly became longer and she quickly flew towards Shen Tuo. Shen Tuo controlled the array glyphs, while blocking Zhao Xue's attack, he also tried to surround Zhao Xue within the array.

The sigil attached to Zhao Xue's back was still sizzling. Zhao Xue seemed to be affected and slowed down.

When Shen Tuo finally saw the opportunity, he chanted an incantation and waved both of his arms upwards. The incantation seemed to have understood something as it followed the movement of his arms and flew upwards, covering the top of Zhao Xue's head.

Another shrill and ear-piercing scream sounded. At this time, Shen Tuo shouted out my name loudly. "Yan Nuo, quick! Stabbing her with the peach wood sword on the table! "

I looked around and realized that Shen Ta had placed a wooden sword on the table at some point. I have also heard of the Peach Blossom to ward off evil. In ancient times, a Daoist must have his Peach Wood Sword by his side to ward off evil.

I don't know where my courage came from, but I did my best to run forward and pick up my peach wood sword. Seeing Shen Ta's increasingly strenuous appearance, I saw the place on Zhao Xue's back where a talisman was affixed and pierced forward.

I tightly thrust the peach wood sword forward with my eyes closed, but it felt as if it had touched a hard object. No matter how hard I tried, it didn't budge in the slightest.

Curious, I opened my eyes and only now did I realize that the peach wood sword had actually pressed against Zhao Xue's back! No matter how much strength I used, I couldn't even touch a single hair on her head!

I anxiously looked towards Shen Ta, but the current Shen Ta seems to be unable to protect himself. The arm he raised trembled greatly, as if lifting a heavy boulder above his head.

On the other hand, Zhao Xue didn't react to my attack at all, as if this level of attack couldn't even scratch an itch.

I had no choice but to withdraw my peach wood sword. I wanted to try once more, but I found that Zhao Xue had turned around and was giving me a ferocious smile. I was at my original position and my peach wood sword had dropped to the ground.

Along with this sound wave, I had a severe tinnitus, and even a headache was triggered. Just as my hands were covering my ears in pain, the array glyphs used by Shen Tuo to suppress Zhao Xue was quickly shattered by this powerful sound wave, scattering to the surroundings.

Shen Tuo resisted the urge to cough, but still let out a whimper. Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Shen Ta powerlessly squatted down and wiped the corner of his mouth as he glared at Zhao Xue.

At this moment, Shen Tuo felt as though he had been driven mad by Zhao Xue. He was more like a warrior whose eyes had turned red from killing. He didn't care about his injuries at all. Trembling, he stood up and prepared to continue fighting.

Zhao Xue did not have any intention of letting it go. Looking at Shen Tuo who was losing all his strength yet was still fighting with all his might, she smiled sinisterly and raised her arms. Her blood-red sleeves flew out and hit towards Shen Tuo.

Zhao Xue didn't care about my existence at all. I gradually moved my fingers and discovered that my stiff body had already become conscious. I hated myself for being so incompetent, for watching my own companions being killed, and how different I was from these little people whom I despised!

Seeing Zhao Xue's flying sleeves about to hit Shen Tuo, and the spell on Zhao Xue's back was still making its final struggles and releasing plumes of white smoke, I knew that this was the only weakness that Zhao Xue had revealed so far.

If I remain still like this, Shen Tuo will definitely be killed by Zhao Xue who went crazy!

I clenched my fists and used all of my strength to squat down. Picking up the peach wood sword that was not far from me, I ran forward as I shouted at Shen Ta, "Shen Ta, squat down!"
