Chapter 28: Presenting a Brocade Banner
“After the bodies are handled, it’s possible that cultists have infiltrated the Zhiyuan High School girls’ dormitory. Please come over as soon as possible.”
Su Jiu notified the law enforcement team to deal with the bodies and then, with a few leaps, returned to the school gate. The main gate was designed with a formation at night, and facial recognition was the quickest way to enter.
The gatekeeper uncle slowly opened his drooping eyelids and said with a yawn, “Strangers are not allowed to enter…”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu showed the identification on her phone, took out her student ID, and entered directly, ignoring the gatekeeper uncle’s strange expression and leaving him stunned on the spot.
The uncle seemed unable to process it. Looking at Su Jiu’s retreating figure, he whispered in confusion, “Wait… an Exorcist? Or a third-year high school student? What the heck…”
By the time he reacted and wanted to chase, Su Jiu’s shadow was already gone. He could only quickly call the School Leader to report that a stranger had entered.
“Ring, ring!!” The urgent phone call rang again in Su Jiu’s hand.
“The Demonic Mole’s mark has appeared, it’s inside Zhiyuan High School. Do you need me to dispatch personnel? The target is very likely a veteran cultist of the Ancient God Sect.”
Sister Liu’s voice sounded somewhat cautious. Although she knew Su Jiu’s strength was immense, she was afraid that Su Jiu, not understanding the sinister nature of those people, would be caught off guard.
“No need, I’ve already spoken with the Law Enforcement Hall.”
Su Jiu had activated her Ghost Car avatar, and her entire demeanor became chilling. She didn’t use her phantom wings, but her speed became incredibly fast, flashing past under the streetlights.
“Law Enforcement Hall?” Liu Hong on the other end of the phone was slightly taken aback. Shouldn’t they contact her first if there was a problem?
“I just killed a cultist named Wang Mazi. There are casualties, and the government’s Law Enforcement Hall personnel need to be notified immediately… this time, the Demonic Mole is not a possibility, it’s the Ancient God Sect’s doing.”
Soon, Su Jiu arrived in front of the dormitory. With just a climb and a flip, she stood on the dormitory’s isolation wall and quietly looked towards her former dormitory.
Indeed, the lights were on… but a thin mist floated around it, seeming to serve as soundproofing.
“Wang Mazi? That veteran cultist who killed several law enforcement officers? You killed him?” Liu Hong’s tone was very shocked. She couldn’t believe that someone of Su Jiu’s age dared to kill humans.
“Mm… I’ll contact you later, I’ve arrived at the target location. It seems there are people inside who are being controlled.”
Su Jiu replied briefly, then hung up the phone, landed lightly around the dormitory building, and quietly approached Luko’s dormitory.
“This light yellow energy, I’ve read about it in books, it’s a defensive Energy Shield… it’s also similar to the Demonic Mole skill that the urban exorcist team talked about. I’m afraid it’s indeed five hundred thousand.”
Five meters away from the energy, she stopped, drew her dagger, took a deep breath, and a few black flames suddenly shot out from her hand, attaching themselves to the dagger. As Su Jiu gathered her strength, the tip of the dagger became as black as if it were dipped in ink.
Although the Blade Slash is primarily about rapid bursts, it can also be charged like regular martial arts techniques, imbuing it with one’s own attributes. Different attributes bring different effects, but it is universally acknowledged that the fire attribute is the most aggressive and berserk.
Su Jiu’s Ghost Car avatar possesses both dark and fire attributes, combining the ferocity of the fire attribute with the insidious corrosive effects of the dark attribute.
“Whoosh!” Upon hearing the sound of something cutting through the air, a black sword energy slashed upwards towards the yellow Energy Shield.
“Bang!” A dull thudding sound reverberated.
At the moment of contact, the shield, like a mirror, instantly shattered from the point of impact and slowly broke apart. The light yellow fragments dissipated into gas with a “poof!”
The huge sound was like an alarm bell. Lights in the surrounding dormitories lit up like bamboo shoots, and some people even came out of their dorms to see what was happening.
As the Energy Shield dissipated, loud cries could be heard from Luko’s dormitory, but the sound quickly disappeared.
At this moment, a short teenager kicked open the dormitory door, with Luko’s neck in his grasp, dragging her out like a dead dog. Following closely behind was Su Jiu’s target for this trip – the Soul Devouring Demonic Mole, with three unconscious girls on its back.
“Dragon Hunter, if you don’t want her to die, get lost!” Li Er’s face was full of caution. His small, mouse-like eyes were fixed on Su Jiu not far away, unmoving.
He felt a deep oppressive feeling from this woman with the fox mask. Was she a Dragon Hunter?
“Hurry and save me… I’ll have my father nominate you for a promotion.” Luko spoke with difficulty. She had lost her initial pride, and her blurry eyes could only see a petite figure.
Hearing that she was a Dragon Hunter, she rekindled her hope of survival.
Seeing that Su Jiu had no intention of leaving, Li Er continued to shout sternly, “Do you know this is the daughter of a Law Enforcement Hall Elder? Even if you are a Dragon Hunter, you will still be punished if she gets hurt.”
“Return to the dormitory!”
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Su Jiu shouted, charging forward. Her dagger mercilessly knocked away Li Er’s hand, and then she grabbed Luko by the hair with her left hand and swung her forcefully behind her.
“Bang!”
Luko slammed into the surrounding wall with a loud noise, falling into an infant-like sleep.
Perhaps there were some personal grudges involved, but this was undoubtedly the best way Su Jiu could prevent her from being affected by the fight.
Looking at Luko, who was thrown against the wall, Li Er was stunned. Why was this Dragon Hunter even more ruthless than him?
Without giving Li Er any time to think, the next blade directly severed his arm. The pain and spurting blood made him realize that the person in front of him was completely different from those Dragon Hunters who wanted to come and negotiate.
This was a Grim Reaper!
“Big Mole, don’t worry about those three, transform into scythes and help me, this person is a lunatic!!”
In order to avoid Su Jiu’s every fatal blow, Li Er could only trade injury for injury. In just a few seconds, his body was covered in burnt wounds, and the dark matter continued to erode him. The intense pain made his face display the expression he usually loved to see – ferocity and terror.
Upon receiving his master’s order, a white light soon lit up, and the Demonic Mole transformed into a scythe and fell into Li Er’s hand.
With the boost from the weapon, Li Er was no longer being suppressed by Su Jiu alone. He could occasionally hold on for a few blows, but the immense force made him doubt whether he was facing a dagger or a giant axe.
“Clang!” “Bang!”……
Amidst the flashing blades and swords, sparks flew. These cultists like Li Er did not fight for their lives every day like Su Jiu. Their battles were often based on crushing strength.
Too strong…
Soon, under the war machine-like Su Jiu, he fell to the ground. Suddenly, his neck felt a chill…
His head began to feel heavy. When he opened his eyes again, he saw those eyes, as calm as moonlight, looking down at him.
The next moment, fierce cheers erupted around the dormitory. On the second floor, Bai Qianyu quietly climbed onto the railing and watched Su Jiu. She breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her dormitory to continue cultivating.
The gap was too big… She had to break through to the Intermediate Stage Warrior in the next few days to have any hope of catching up.
Su Jiu took photos of Li Er’s body and the Demonic Mole in one go. Just as she was about to find a restroom to change and go to sleep, a hoarse voice stopped her, sounding quite gritted:
“Cough cough… Dare to report your name? I’ll send you a brocade banner tomorrow…”
