Chapter 136: Underground City Fierce Battle

Kill!

The peaceful night curtain was broken by a sudden shout of killing.

The students killed their way to the underground city.

With immortal cultivators present, some demon sentries failed to relay the news and were killed.

The immortal cultivators' divine sense is extremely powerful; where it spreads, ordinary means cannot hide.

Boom—boom—boom~

Various long-range attacks came first in a wave, killing many foreign beings on the walls and blasting huge gaps in the walls.

Although the wall is high and thick, lacking any protective formations, it cannot withstand the frantic bombardment of spells and magic.

Humans!

Block them!

The foreign beings in the underground city were all startled.

Large numbers of foreign beings rushed out.

Here the foreign beings are mainly demons, but also include a small number of other races.

For example, some winged people with wings.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh~

Flying swords ran rampant.

Rumble—rumble—rumble~

Various spells and magic surged forth like a violent storm.

Before the martial cultivators could act, these foreign beings were cleared out in a wave.

We must block them to buy time for Lord Blood Nether!

The underground city has many foreign beings; they harbor deep hatred for humans and rush out madly.

Although no one could stop the students, they were still delayed some time by the foreign beings.

This underground city is indeed empty; everyone use the divine travel talisman and follow me in!

Behind them, Wei Guangyao saw an opportunity.

The lighthouse is right before our eyes.

The members of this team come from noble families; each holds a fifth‑grade attack spirit talisman.

As long as they rush to beneath the lighthouse, they have sufficient confidence to seize the secret realm core.

Thus, the students of Ten Thousand Willows Academy each took out and activated a divine travel talisman.

Wei Ge...

What's wrong, Lin Qiang?

Nothing, nothing.

Lin Qiang instinctively felt something was off.

Lu Xun and the others could obviously fly, yet instead of heading straight for the lighthouse first, they chose to advance on level ground all the way.

Thinking of Lu Xun's usual conduct, he felt it was abnormal.

But seeing that everyone else had already activated their divine travel talismans, Lin Qiang finally kept his doubts to himself so as not to spoil the mood.

After all, in this team he is actually a burden.

Go!

Wei Guangyao took the lead, the other students followed, and they charged into the underground city from another direction.

Junior apprentice, you really guessed right—they really went straight for the lighthouse.

Seeing this, Jin Yuhua smiled.

What if they take the lighthouse?

Some students worried.

If it were really that easy, taking it would just be taking it.

Lu Xun said lightly.

Those Ten Thousand Willows Academy lot didn't exert themselves in the earlier fight, and now they want to rush for the secret realm core.

In that case, let them first go test the depths of that Blood Nether.

How can he be so certain?

Beside her, Aodaili grew ever more curious about Lu Xun.

If one says her previous interest in Lu Xun was just an act to get close to him,

now she has genuinely begun to take an interest in him.

Foreign beings are still coming to kill.

Many students killed their way in with unstoppable momentum, and no foreign being could block them.

Whoosh!

An arrow tipped with demonic energy shot at the students, but Cheng Gang cut it in half with one blade.

The attacker was a fourth‑realm demon who used a strong bow to launch attacks from afar.

Because the foreign beings launched attacks everywhere, the number of fourth‑realm foreigners in this underground city is quite small, and even third‑realm ones are few.

Careful, it's a fourth‑realm!

Moreover, a very cunning fourth‑realm demon used the terrain to wage guerrilla warfare.

Surrounding buildings were continually blown up; the clash between third and fourth realms already caused considerable destruction to the structures.

Junior apprentice, there's also someone over there.

At this moment, Jin Yuhua made a discovery.

Lu Xun flew up into the sky on his sword, took a look, and indeed, in another direction, a group of students had also stormed into the underground city.

Those students must have come down from other lighthouses.

Tens of thousands of students took part in this assessment, and there were indeed some clever students who happened to think the same way as Lu Xun.

They're almost here!

Wei Guangyao and his group, relying on the Godwalk Talisman, were already rushing toward the lighthouse.

There were many demonfolk at the lighthouse; seeing Wei Guangyao's group charge, the demonfolk all lashed out.

Wei Guangyao's group, without a word, flung out talisman after talisman.

Boom—boom—boom~

The attacks from the various talismans illuminated the area around the lighthouse as brightly as daytime.

When the light and flame from the talismans faded, hardly any demonfolk remained there.

Even two Fourth Realm demonfolk ended up one dead and one wounded.

Fifth‑grade talismans... these guys are really willing to spend them.

Jin Yuhua raised an eyebrow.

A hint of worry flickered in his eyes.

Because the defenses at the lighthouse were weaker than he had imagined.

There were only two Fourth Realm demonfolk.

Even if two Fourth Realm demonfolk had come to stop them, isn't that a bit too few?

If that's all the defensive force they have, the lighthouse will be taken by Wei Guangyao before anyone else.

Die!

Wei Guangyao gripped his spear, which moved like a swimming dragon, and lunged at the wounded Fourth Realm demon.

That Fourth Realm demon's strength was not weak; he had already reached mid‑Fourth Realm.

But after his serious injury, he was no match for Wei Guangyao.

Instead of clashing head‑on with Wei Guangyao, he fled wildly, retreating behind the Blood Pool.

Wei Guangyao shifted his stance, stepped on empty air, and used the Void‑Step to pursue.

Hah.

Lu Xun's gaze fixed on the Blood Pool.

If nothing unexpected happened, an accident would occur imminently.

Sure enough.

Wei Guangyao had just rushed above the Blood Pool when suddenly a terrifying demonic aura erupted from within the pool.

Not good!

Wei Guangyao reacted quickly and tried to retreat.

But it was already too late.

That demonic aura came too fast and sudden; he had nowhere to dodge.

Although the defensive talisman on Wei Guangyao's body activated instantly, it still could not block the attack.

The shield formed by the talisman flickered once before shattering.

Immediately after, Wei Guangyao's protective true qi shattered; he barely had time to raise his spear sideways before being blown away.

Pfft!

Still airborne, Wei Guangyao began spurting blood profusely.

He flew backward several dozen meters and crashed heavily into a building.

Brother Wei!

The other students from Myriad Willows Academy were shocked and terrified.

So strong!

Jin Yuhua's eyes narrowed.

Wei Guangyao, a Fourth Realm martial cultivator, was actually heavily wounded by a single blow.

Indeed, he is powerful.

Lu Xun was also watching the battle.

This Blood Nether is indeed powerful.

No wonder he is a peak Fourth Realm demon.

His appearance is also especially terrifying.

Perhaps having just emerged from the Blood Pool, his body was drenched in blood, entirely crimson, as if clad in a layer of scarlet blood‑armor.

Merely seeing him makes one's blood run cold.

After knocking Wei Guangyao away, the Blood Nether did not strike again.

The previously wounded Fourth Realm demon surged forward again, charging at the other Myriad Willows Academy students.

Not good.

Those students' faces drastically changed.

They had previously expended too many of their trump cards, leaving hardly any left in hand.

All together, attack!

Several mid‑late Third Realm students attacked simultaneously.

But that Fourth Realm demon was too formidable; even wounded, he was beyond what those Third Realm students could withstand.

Pfft pfft pfft~

As soon as they clashed, these Third Realm students were beaten until they vomited blood.

Die!

The Fourth Realm demons are about to unleash a great slaughter.

Suddenly, several long flying swords shot from afar, forcing this Fourth Realm demon back.

Immediately after, a white-clad figure fiercely attacked, waving his long sword and whipping up storm after storm.

Liu Changfeng.

Jin Yuhua whispered.

Liu Changfeng?

This name reminded Lu Xun of Liu Xinghe.

He is Liu Xinghe's paternal cousin; when he opened his meridians, he unlocked the Grand Void Wind Meridian, taking the path of dual cultivation of law and body.

Jin Yuhua introduced.

Grand Void Wind Meridian, dual cultivation of law and body.

This Liu Changfeng has something.

The Liu family of the capital truly lives up to being a top-tier aristocratic clan; its younger generation's geniuses are far stronger than the He family.

He Huan of the He family was originally not bad, with hopes of breaking through to the Fourth Realm before graduation, but because he provoked Lu Xun he ended up half-disabled, which is his own doing.

Besides Liu Changfeng, two more Fourth Realm fighters arrived.

One is a mage, the other a martial cultivator.

Lu Zhan!

This martial cultivator is a senior student at Beidou University, Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan's weapon is also a spear; seeing him thrust the spear like a dragon, he aimed straight at the Fourth Realm demon cultivator's throat.

Three against one, the Fourth Realm demon cultivator instantly fell into a disadvantage, perilously close to defeat.

At this critical moment, a blood-colored afterimage tore through the sky.

Blood Ming surged forth with overwhelming blood-slaughter energy, tearing through the air, and wherever it passed the air emitted a piercing explosive sound.

His speed was unbelievably fast; Lu Zhan only saw a flash of blood before his eyes, and a fierce killing intent loomed imminently.

He and Liu Changfeng didn't even have time to make a full evasive move, only able to hastily meet the attack.

Careful!

The two shouted in unison.

Lu Zhan's spear burst with dazzling azure light, the tip tracing a perfect arc.

Liu Changfeng's twenty-four flying swords shot out from his sleeves simultaneously, intertwining in the air into an impenetrable sword net.

Boom!

In the deafening explosion, Lu Zhan's tiger's mouth burst open, and the spear shaft forged from refined iron was actually bent like a bow.

Liu Changfeng's sword net instantly shattered, the flying swords scattering like raindrops.

Their chests felt as if struck by lightning; the hastily activated defensive talismans formed a flickering light shield on their bodies, barely blocking this fatal blow.

Aurora Holy Sword!

The mage in the distance acted in time, and countless golden light swords fell like meteors.

And Blood Ming did not dodge or evade, allowing the light swords to carve countless wounds across his blood armor, as scarlet blood mist filled the air.

He grinning fiercely struck again, his claws tearing out ten streaks of bloody light.

Retreat quickly!

Lu Zhan's pupils contracted sharply, and he and Liu Changfeng retreated violently.

Blood Ming's attack was too fierce, his speed astonishingly fast; their fifth-grade defensive talismans couldn't hold out for long.

Trying to run?

On the other side, Lu Xun and Jin Yuhua acted simultaneously, killing a Fourth Realm demon that attacked them.

Junior fellow student, impressive.

Jin Yuhua couldn't help but admire.

If it weren't for Lu Xun, he and another Fourth Realm cultivator working together would still struggle to deal with this Fourth Realm demon.

Another Fourth Realm demon hiding in the dark, seeing the situation turn bad, wanted to slip away.

Aodaili!

Lu Xun's tone was unfriendly; Aodaili had been slacking off.

Seeing Lu Xun angry, Aodaili reluctantly acted, using one spatial trap after another to trap that Fourth Realm demon.

Although the Fourth Realm demon erupted in a wave, breaking the spatial trap is not difficult.

But in the end, time was delayed.

Die!

Lu Xun and the others rushed forward, killing the second Fourth Realm demon.

With these two Fourth Realm demons dead, there are hardly any Fourth Realm demons left in this underground city.

They had only kept four Fourth Realm demons in total.

With no obstacles left, Lu Xun and the several Fourth Realm cultivators no longer bothered with battles below the Fourth Realm, all rushing toward the lighthouse.

Junior fellow student, whoever grabs it gets it~

Taking advantage of the fierce battle between Blood Ming, Liu Changfeng, and the other three Fourth Realm cultivators, everyone accelerated their charge forward.

Their target is the secret realm core atop the lighthouse.

At this moment, no one would yield.

Lu, you're going to lose.

Aodaili was the quickest; while Lu Xun was still flying, she waved her magic wand, stepped forward, and covered several hundred meters in an instant—far faster than flying.

Just as the lighthouse loomed nearby, a sudden change occurred—

Hiss!

A streak of blood light like lightning suddenly appeared, tearing the sky.

The Blood Nether, which had been on the other side, suddenly flickered into existence, its scarlet claws lunging straight for Aodaili's heart!

Before Aodaili, space violently trembled.

Under the Blood Nether's attack, her spatial shield held for less than a second before shattering with a boom.

Oh no!

Aodaili's pupils contracted sharply, her face instantly turning ashen as paper.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

At the critical moment, over a dozen flying swords poured down like a galaxy, stabbing straight at the Blood Nether's vital points.

The Blood Nether's visage was stern; its fists suddenly burst forth with piercing blood light, its fist wind raging like a furious tide, actually shaking all the flying swords away!

Because of this delay, Aodaili successfully cast spatial magic, retreating over a hundred meters away.

He saved me...

Aodaili realized it was Lu Xun who had saved her, and her feelings grew complex.

Where's the applause?

Lu Xun's calm voice sounded.

Aodaili froze.

Immediately, she looked at him with admiration: 'Lu, you are my hero~~'

Let's go together!

At the same time,

Jin Yuhua Chenggang and several other fourth-realm cultivators charged forward together.

They originally had three fourth-realm cultivators, and among the scattered students there were two more, making five in total.

Five fourth-realm cultivators: two martial cultivators, two Immortal Cultivators, and one mage.

Each of the five employed their own methods, attacking the Blood Nether.
