Chapter 133 – Fire Feather · Solid Wall (3/4)
In the snowy mist, the clash of blades continued.
“Clang!”
Once again meeting Su Jiu’s sword light, Lin Mo felt his hands grow heavier. Although the opponent held an ordinary standard longsword, she attacked relentlessly like a tireless machine, her rapid assaults and the surrounding wind that accelerated her sword speed gradually dimming.
He was covered in wounds—in a state of complete exhaustion.
“Xiao Jiu, I’m leaving directly! I won’t pursue the matter regarding Liu’er either.”
At this moment, he couldn’t help but speak out. Truly looking at this girl, who was around the same age as his daughter, the coldness in her eyes gave him an illusion—he felt he was facing an assassin, not a student.
His sword blade continued to slash towards the other party. With another heavy moon-round attack, Su Jiu chuckled lightly, her voice calm. “Pursue? If I were just an ordinary student, I probably would have been the one dead, wouldn’t I?”
Lin Mo met this heavy sword strike, his hand trembling. The sword suddenly veered off, and a sense of fear welled up in his heart. Ignoring his pride, he repeatedly begged for mercy, “Teacher Si made me do all this. Spare my life, and I’ll give you any amount of money.”
“It’s time to end this. Since you’ve acted for a cult, why say more.”
The moment his sword veered off, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed. She immediately withdrew her avatar, her left. fingernails suddenly turning into rose-red blades, pointing directly at Lin Mo’s neck. With a “hiss!” sound, his blood gushed out like a spring.
“The Divine Descent is about to begin; I can’t leave him a whole corpse… This Teacher Si, I remember the homeroom teacher of class F next door is also called Teacher Si—could there be a clue?”
With another forceful cut, she severed his head and then smashed it into a mist of blood with her sword.
While contemplating, she used “Blood Surge” to feed the skirt blood. Then, looking around, she used her nails to extract a magic crystal from the head of its pet—a green snake.
“Fortunately, nothing happened.”
Turning her head to look at the students who had already left mostly, she sighed softly. She casually threw away the sword that was almost broken and turned, leaping in that direction.
As she leaped, a few illusory, blooming roses appeared on Su Jiu’s skirt, similar to how she looked on the rain path earlier. She felt her body had been strengthened by about five percent overall, which was truly terrifying.
She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: As expected of a mid-rank Battle General, a single person could achieve the effect of the previous rainy night.
The wind brushed past her ears. Her figure gradually approached. Looking at the light screen again, it was already faintly closing. Su Jiu’s face showed a grim expression.
“Oh no! Too much time was wasted! The Divine Descent is probably about to start!”
Watching the light wall begin to close, she hurried. However, after a while, she found that the light wall had not completely closed.
Puzzled, she arrived at the place where the light wall was healing and discovered a massive body supporting it. It was Lu Xin, who had activated her avatar.
“Hurry! Hurry! It’s almost too late!”
She grit her teeth, her muscles trembling wildly. Together with several other Dragon Hunters, they used their weapons to barely prop open a small dog-sized exit, and the exit was continuously shrinking.
This light wall was like a steel plate, very hard and difficult to penetrate, but its impact force was not as strong as a light pillar. The initial pressure was only at the strength of a Battle General.
With Lu Xin’s physical strength and the support of the others, they could hold on for one to two minutes!
Inside were more than a dozen students, all injured students who were slow to run, crawling through one by one. Three severely injured students could only lean on each other, panting.
Among them was the bespectacled girl who had been with Su Jiu and the others earlier—Mo Hanzhi. Her abdomen appeared to have been pierced by claws, and blood was constantly flowing out. She was curled up in a corner, and her companions had already disappeared.
“The Chief Judge is back!?”
Sensing the ground trembling, Su Jiu looked back. In the distance, a fly-sized figure was flying towards them in the sky. It seemed to be carrying a few students with gray energy in its hands.
Under its feet was a dense, dark mass—are they monsters?
“Need to hurry!”
Without further thought, Su Jiu leaped forward several times and reached Lu Xin. She placed her hands on the light wall, taking a deep breath.
“Boss!” Lu Xin’s face lit up with joy, making a buzzing sound. Before she could say much more.
“I’ll do it! You guys go quickly.”
A clear, cold female voice sounded. A white light flickered, and a flame rune appeared between Su Jiu’s eyebrows. Her eyes seemed to ignite. The Ghost Car form—the ultimate form of strength and speed.
Lu Xin was shocked and quickly said, “This force is constantly increasing. Boss, you don’t have a strength-type bloodline, so you might…”
“Listen to me… take them and go!”
Su Jiu retracted her fire feathers and slowly took Lu Xin’s place. She could see students on the other side supporting each other. They looked at Su Jiu with respect in their eyes, just as they had looked at Lu Xin moments before.
Lu Xin and the other three released their support. A tremendous force transferred to Su Jiu’s arms. She didn’t know how many tons it was, but it felt like being hit by a speeding truck. Moreover, she noticed that the wall’s force was indeed continuously increasing.
“Hurry and take them all away!”
Gritting her teeth, a dark red energy shield appeared on her body. Leaning against the light wall on one side, she braced herself with both hands and one foot. Her small leather shoes were slightly coming unglued.
For a moment, the light wall seemed to have a visual illusion of being pushed back by her, but Su Jiu knew that right now, she was only preventing the light wall from compressing further.
Lu Xin and the other three, along with Su Xiao Yu and a few other strong students, quickly entered to organize the students inside to pass through the opening quickly. One, two, three…
Seeing only a few students left inside, Su Jiu also began to struggle. Veins were already bulging beneath her neck, and deep bloody scratches appeared on her hands. Blood drops continuously fell along the light wall.
The light wall began to contract. The pressure had already reached the level of a high-rank Battle General and was still increasing. Su Jiu was soon unable to hold on.
“I can only hold on for another twenty seconds at most! Hurry!”
Seeing the four Dragon Hunters carrying out the four injured students, she quickly shouted, her voice a little hoarse. Sweat mixed with blood slid across her contorted face.
Struggling to support her body, Mo Hanzhi looked at the approaching monster horde. While terrified, she said somewhat helplessly, “Little Whirlwind, let’s go, I can’t walk.”
The other two students also had somber expressions. Looking at the ever-shrinking opening, they clearly did not expect to survive.
“Hold on a little longer!”
Su Jiu’s gaze fell on the three severely injured students. Seeing their desperate eyes, she could only hope to hold on a little longer. The bones in her body were creaking, and she felt like her body was about to be crushed!
And only two female Dragon Hunters squeezed through this gap – the Blue Hairpin Girl and Lu Xin, who was in tattered clothes. They each grabbed a severely injured person nearby and ran outside.
Seeing this, Mo Hanzhi felt both hope and despair. Why wasn’t she the one who had gone out earlier!?
As the two figures crossed paths, Su Jiu saw a slender figure also rush in, it was Su Xiao Yu.
A hint of anger appeared on her face. She roared, “Hurry and go! If you die, how will I explain to Dad.”
Facing Su Jiu’s scolding, Su Xiao Yu didn’t look back. He glanced at a familiar face in the sky not far away.
“Not enough manpower, Big Sister. I’ll help you.”
His smile was a bit forced, but he still hugged the injured Mo Hanzhi and rushed towards Su Jiu.
“Quick! You go out quickly too!” Su Jiu said in a low voice.
Following Su Xiao Yu’s gaze, Su Jiu saw Liu Lin and two students in the sky wrapped in gray mist, and the one carrying them was that square-faced Chief Judge.
The Chief Judge floated in the air, not disturbing Su Jiu, and said with great interest, “So many students are being driven in by me from other directions. What’s the use of you saving these one or two students?”
Su Jiu ignored him, gritting her teeth and exerting force, silently reciting the countdown—three seconds left.
“Boss, hold on!”
3! Two hands were placed on the light wall…
2! Three hands were placed on it. Mo Hanzhi’s upper body smoothly passed through the light wall. Su Xiao Yu was pushing from behind. He looked up and said in a low voice, “Big Sister didn’t expect to be able to get out either, did she?”
Su Jiu: “…”
1! Lu Xin and the others once again helped Su Jiu to support the wall. Su Xiao Yu pushed Mo Hanzhi out with a shove and sat down on the grass inside, smiling bitterly, “Liu Lin was caught… I don’t want to go alone.”
0! This gave Su Jiu time to release her grip and buffer. She quickly leaned aside to avoid being crushed by the wall!
The moment Su Jiu released her grip, the others were also forced to squeeze in. The surroundings were already filled with densely packed monsters. Their strength was not high, but their eyes shone with a faint red light, instilling fear.
“For the sake of a useless person, a genius like you threw yourself away. It’s truly foolish.”
The square-faced judge’s voice was filled with mockery, as if he was deliberately retaliating against Su Jiu for embarrassing him.
Then, he threw the scroll in his hand towards the sky, which had already turned completely yellow. At this moment, the scroll madly absorbed abilities and emitted a vortex.
“Rumble!”
A loud thunderous sound echoed. A bloody mist slowly spread from the vortex, landing on the tips of Su Jiu and the others’ noses, seeming to indicate one thing—
Divine Descent, Commence!
