Chapter 43: Chapter 39: Target
A mass of filthy blood, seemingly not large in size, but that’s relative. Compared to the geotric whirlpool eye in the sky, it is naturally just a mass of filthy blood, but when it exploded on the ground, it beca a flesh and blood flower occupying a hundred ters.
A large number of horrifying, twisted Evil God’s Followers flew out from it, looking sowhat similar to the aliens Shen Hex rembered, but in shape more ferocious, and in power more formidable.
"Go around it!"
Seeing the flesh and blood flower blooming ahead, Shen Hex didn’t think twice and directly took Zhong Qin to detour around it.
Although he was running for his life, he tried his best to observe the surroundings along the way and gained so understanding of the combat power of the Evil God’s Followers.
There’s no need to ntion the younger students, unless they have practiced Gang Qi, getting entangled by these monsters ans certain death.
The older students are better, but not by much. Although they have cultivated Gang Qi, their combat experience is too little, and their combat skills are average. They are unable to withstand the fearless attacks of these monsters. If surrounded, they cannot last more than a few minutes before falling.
Only the top students among the older ones can break through with skilled Combat Skills and full equipnt. So academic achievers who have cultivated Gang Yuan, and even so rare Professionals from the Cultivation System can charge straight through the flesh and blood flower.
In other words, the combat power of these Evil God’s Followers generally is at Tier Two, so reaching Tier Three or Tier Four. The longer the flesh and blood flower grows, the more powerful high-tier followers it can nurture, which requires campus guards and high-tier teachers to clear.
Shen Hex, although he has cultivated Gang Qi, dared not charge straight through the flesh and blood flower, only to detour around it.
But this path is not easy to detour; not only does the flesh and blood flower spew out Evil God’s Followers, but a large number of monsters are coming from the vicinity, attacking fleeing students and rescue teachers.
"Shen Hex!"
Zhong Qin exclaid, as several Evil God’s Followers descended from the sky, baring fangs and brandishing claws towards the two of them.
However, they saw...
"Boom!!"
Shen Hex didn’t stop his pace; instead, he accelerated in his rush, directly leaping up. With two palms rapidly circulating Gang Qi, he summoned several dragon shadows, colliding with those Evil God’s Followers, directly blasting them away.
But behind those Evil God’s Followers, there was an even larger entity, flying at remarkable speed, charging towards Shen Hex, whose old strength was exhausted and new strength not yet born.
It was an elite follower, an elite follower capable of battling Tier Three Professionals.
"Careful!"
Zhong Qin exclaid, also unleashing the Dragon Subduing Palm Skill, striking towards the elite follower.
The image of the elite follower was hideous, with peculiar musculature, facing the Dragon Subduing Palm Skill from Zhong Qin, making no defensive posture, only thrusting its tallic-textured spike tail which pierced through the full-force Dragon Subduing Palm Skill from Zhong Qin, shattering it.
The power of that tail was terrifying!
The physical strength of this elite follower absolutely reached Tier Three levels.
But fortunately, Zhong Qin’s strike was not entirely fruitless, gaining a precious mont for Shen Hex.
"Hoo!!!"
Shen Hex settled his steps, opened his mouth to inhale tenfold energy streams, his Gang Qi inside rapidly circulating, instantly filling his chest, protecting and activating the power of his lungs, unleashing a torrent of energy from lung to roar, from throat to throat, like breaking a dam, bursting out.
"Roar!!!"
And a furious roar was heard, as if a True Dragon’s cry, a brilliant light-shadow spat out from Shen Hex’s mouth, carrying a torrent of Gang Qi, striking towards that elite follower.
"Boom!!!"
A loud explosion was heard, blasting violently in the air, the charging elite follower exploded midair, its upper body and head both shattered completely, leaving only half of the remains, powerless, dropping in front of Shen Hex.
"Shen Hex!"
Zhong Qin rushed over from behind, looking at the remains of the elite follower and Shen Hex holding his chest: "Dragon Subduing Roar, when did you master it, wait, you cultivated Gang Yuan?"
"Go!"
Shen Hex spoke only one word, without saying much, yet blood spread in his mouth, and a tearing pain ca from his throat and chest.
The Dragon Subduing Roar is a killing technique of the Xingyi Dragon Subduing Skill, far more powerful than regular Dragon Subduing Palm but burdens the body heavily. Without achieving Gang Yuan in Tier Three Martial Artist, it cannot be executed.
Shen Hex is not a Tier Three Martial Artist, nor has he cultivated Gang Yuan, but a dream in the Martial Dynasty, over a hundred years of painstaking cultivation and honing, allowed him to reach an extraordinary state in mastering his own power and Inner Yuan Gang Qi.
Thus, he could forcefully condense Gang Qi to replace Gang Yuan, and as a Tier Two, unleash the Dragon Subduing Roar which Tier Three Martial Artists can activate.
But the cost of doing so was severely damaging Gang Qi, severely injuring the body, tearing the throat and chest, already in a state of internal organ bleeding.
Severely injured.
But Shen Hex had no ti to worry, forcing his body toward the increasingly close dormitory area.
Zhong Qin also ca to her senses, dared not saying more, shielding him to continue sprinting.
The blooming flesh and blood flower still releasing Evil God’s Followers, with chaos and slaughter engulfing campuses everywhere with many teachers and students.
The dormitory area with its shimring silver glow ford a protective barrier covering the entire area, it was the last safe shelter of Tianbei Second Middle School, a defense array set by a Tier Six Cultivation Professional.
Shen Hex and Zhong Qin arrived at the array front, their personal terminals on their wrists automatically flashing, allowing them to enter the array unimpeded.
"Hah hah hah!"
Zhong Qin supported her knees, panting with no sense of decorum, her face sowhat pale.
Feeling her Gang Qi depleted inside, plus the thrilling escape and battle just now, she finally realized what it ant to survive a catastrophe.
After catching her breath, recovering, she saw Shen Hex nearby, his face also pale, blood at the corner of his lips, but still forcing himself to pour a bag of powder into his mouth, chewing on it.
Zhong Qin saw his appearance, unable to care for herself anymore, rushed to his side: "How’s it?"
"Back to the dormitory!"
Shen Hex shook his head, responded in a hoarse voice, then struggled to get up and head towards the dormitory.
High school campuses cover a broad area, unable to establish an array covering the entire school, only designating several key areas as safe zones, then set up corresponding protection asures.
The dormitory area is one of them, not only adjacent to the staff area but also next to the administrative office, being a key protection area; as long as the Evil God’s avatar cannot defeat the school’s high-tier Professionals, its safety remains secured.
"Little Hex!"
Shen Hex had just reached the dormitory door when soone nervously welcod him, it was Shen Qingyue waiting there.
Earlier he had left the Martial Arts Dojo during dinner ti, Shen Qingyue had already prepared his al and waited for him in the dormitory, also received his ssage, thus had not departed.
Although she adhered to his instructions and hadn’t left the dormitory, she couldn’t help worrying. Seeing him return injured, her nervousness increased: "You’re hurt; how about I take you for treatnt?"
"No!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hex shook his head, struggled to enter the room, and activated the defense system of the high-grade dormitory.
Leaving Zhong Qin sowhat puzzled: "Aren’t we going to gather?"
Though the dormitory area was in a safe zone, it wasn’t the center area; students who fled mostly wouldn’t stay long, typically choosing to enter the staff area or joining the main group in the center administrative area.
But Shen Hex seed not to have this plan.
Facing the puzzled looks from the two, Shen Hex sat down, panted for a while, then spoke in a hoarse voice: "The Evil God Sect wouldn’t attack the campus without reason; if they dare make such a risky move, they must have a target, an agenda."
"Target?"
"Agenda?"
Zhong Qin and Shen Qingyue exchanged glances, then turned their eyes back: "What agenda?"
"I don’t know."
Shen Hex shook his head: "But attack implies defense; the attack target of the Evil God Sect must be under the full protection of the school’s senior managent, likely right at the center of this safe zone, so we can’t get too close, or we’re likely to..."
"Boom!!!"
His words were cut off by a loud explosion, shaking the high-grade dormitory with its activated defense system, with brilliant light bursting afar.
"This..."
"Is it the direction of the administrative area?"
Zhong Qin and Shen Qingyue’s faces changed, rushing to the window, a combination of shock and anger, then turned their eyes to Shen Hex.
Shen Hex remained calm, sitting on the sofa chewing the Qi and Blood Powder: "Don’t look, don’t bother, let them handle it."
