Chapter 220

It was truly too terrifying; at this moment, Li Yuan even developed an illusion.

It was as if with one thought from the other party, he would be killed.

Rumble~ Li Yuan's mental consciousness returned to clarity.

"Stay here properly." A gentle voice rang in Li Yuan's ears.

The next instant.

In Li Yuan's line of sight, the black-clothed figure a thousand meters high took a step forward, and the light around him seemed to become distorted.

He vanished instantly without a trace.

Boom!

The feeling of dark clouds covering heaven and earth also disappeared in an instant, and Li Yuan had completely returned to normal.

"Who was that?" Li Yuan's heart was filled with indescribable shock.

He believed that the black-clothed figure just now was absolutely the most terrifying existence he had ever seen in his life.

Without exception!

He was absolutely one of the peak existences of human civilization, far exceeding ordinary Flying-grade existences.

After all, Li Yuan had already met the Flying-grade Dean Hai, and the pressure he brought simply couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the other party.

They were simply not on the same level.

"A drop of rain, and it wiped out a Flying-grade existence?" Li Yuan recalled the scene just now, a trace of trembling in his heart.

It was truly incredible.

This had already exceeded Li Yuan's scope of understanding.

"Is it the power of heaven and earth? Sixth-Stage skill?" Many guesses arose in Li Yuan's heart: "Or an even more brilliant level of skill?"

It was too dreamlike.

If the other party had been holding a weapon and killed the opponent with a blade or a spear, then no matter how shocked Li Yuan was, it would still be within his scope of understanding.

But just a drop of rain flicked out with a finger? How was this done!

"Could this mysterious, terrifying existence be an existence surpassing the Flying-grade? Has he been guarding me all along?" Many possibilities had already occurred to Li Yuan.

The mastermind behind the killing trap that used him as bait was likely that black-clothed figure.

Just as Li Yuan was letting his imagination run wild.

In less than ten seconds.

Boom! Boom! Two rays of light swept across the sky, two afterimages streaked across heaven and earth, rushing over at high speed, and then the figures condensed instantly.

One of them was Dean Hai.

Although their speed was fast, in the state of Heaven-Man Unity, the fluctuations caused by their advance were not too great.

"You?" The previous delivery person was already dumbfounded.

No matter how slow his reaction was, he had already vaguely realized that he had likely experienced a major event just now.

"You should leave first." Dean Hai said in a low voice.

"Yes." The delivery person nodded repeatedly, jumped onto the aircraft like a bird, and quickly drove the aircraft away.

He didn't want to get involved in this at all.

……The grass became quiet.

"Li Yuan, are you alright?" Dean Hai had already landed on the ground and come before Li Yuan, a trace of anxiety in his voice: "Are you hurt?"

Dean Hai stared at Li Yuan.

He was worried that something had happened to Li Yuan.

Just now, both of them had suddenly sensed a terrifying fluctuation of heaven and earth power erupting.

Especially Dean Hai, who thought of Li Yuan the first moment.

"Dean."

Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "I'm fine, I was just saved by a mysterious black-clothed senior."

The two great Flying-grade martial artists looked at each other, basically understanding the general process in their hearts.

"It should be the Principal." Dean Hai said in a low voice.

"It definitely is." Another white-clothed woman nodded heavily: "According to the plan, we were just cover; the Principal was the one responsible for secret surveillance and protection."

"The Principal?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Was that mysterious black-clothed man just now the Principal of Kunlun Martial Arts University?

Whoosh!

Dean Hai waved his hand, and the weapons and battle armor that had fallen on the ground in the distance flew before the two of them.

Following this, a thread of Source Force flew out from Dean Hai's hand and directly permeated the weapons.

It seemed he was investigating something.

Only a few seconds later.

"It is indeed a Third-Rank weapon; only a Flying-grade martial artist using a Source Core as the core can drive it, or a Source martial artist who has mastered True Intent." Dean Hai said slowly: "The assassin has a 99 percent probability of being Flying-grade."

"A Flying-grade spy!"

"But there is no fluctuation of Source Core annihilation here; it should be a clone technique."

"This is an extremely high-end Star Technique; among the Flying-grade martial artists in our civilization, not many have successfully cultivated it." Dean Hai looked solemn: "If nothing goes wrong, the assassin should be the legendary Flying-grade killer 'Shadow,' the most terrifying one from the Tianliang Race lurking on our Blue Star."

Clearly, Dean Hai understood many things and knew a lot of intelligence.

"Shadow?"

The white-clothed woman's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but look at Li Yuan: "To actually force Shadow to personally take action to assassinate, he truly is worthy of being the future Blue Star's number one genius identified by the high-level authorities."

Li Yuan was stunned.

Future Blue Star's number one genius? Did the high-level authorities have such high expectations for him?

"Li Yuan, don't worry too much." Dean Hai said: "I believe you should have noticed that from the short video released to the Principal personally guarding you, it was actually a killing trap specifically set up... it was personally arranged by the Principal."

"Not telling you was just to make everything appear more real, so as to force the most terrifying infiltrator of the other party to show themselves."

"The Principal dared to do this because he had absolute certainty." Dean Hai said solemnly.

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded.

Sometimes, when the high-level authorities didn't tell him in advance, they naturally had their considerations.

Li Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Dean Hai, who exactly is the Principal?"

One move to kill a Flying-grade existence?

With such strength, is it not too terrifying to just be the Principal of Kunlun Martial Arts University?

Could it be that the entire Blue Star has a large group of such terrifying existences?

Dean Hai and the white-clothed woman looked at each other.

"Actually, you have heard his name long ago." Dean Hai smiled.

"Heard it?" Li Yuan was even more bewildered.

"Before, you weren't qualified to know, but now you're just about qualified to know." Dean Hai smiled: "The Principal of Kunlun Martial Arts University is just the most inconspicuous of the Principal's many identities; he has two other identities."

"One identity is the Star Lord of the Seven-Star Alliance."

"The other identity is the 'Hall Master' of the Starfire Blue Star Headquarters." Dean Hai smiled.

Li Yuan was dumbfounded listening to this.

Seven-Star Alliance Star Lord? He had heard Li Yang mention it before. But Starfire Blue Star Headquarters Hall Master? This! This!

Of the three Martial Halls, the Starfire Martial Hall was vaguely ranked first; being able to serve as the Blue Star Hall Master was absolutely one of the peak existences on Blue Star.

"Then why is he at our school..." Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

How could such a super existence come to serve as Principal?

"He didn't come to serve as Principal." Dean Hai smiled faintly: "The location where our Kunlun Martial Arts University is situated has a Star Realm, named 'Kunlun Star Realm,' which is also a Tier-Two Star Realm, and for these decades, it has had a trend of upgrading to a Tier-Three Star Realm."

"Kunlun Star Realm?" Li Yuan held his breath.

For every additional Tier-Three Star Realm, it is a disaster for the entire human civilization.

"It was also from that time that the Principal came to serve as Principal." Dean Hai smiled: "Serving as Principal is incidental; in reality, he is responsible for guarding the entrance and exit of the Star Realm."

"To prevent unexpected situations."

Li Yuan suddenly realized, so that was it.

"The Principal's name is Fang Hai." Dean Hai had a strange smile on his face: "Yes, it is the Fang Hai I often mentioned to you before."

Fang Hai?

The Principal is Fang Hai? Li Yuan's eyes widened into circles.

……

While Li Yuan and Dean Hai were chatting.

Three hundred kilometers away from Kunlun Martial Arts University, in a small town, inside that house.

"Law Profound Meaning!"

"Demigod! It's absolutely a Demigod! Has the Xia Nation given birth to another Demigod?" Number Three, wearing black robes, failed his assassination and was most shocked in his heart.

He never imagined that there would truly be a Demigod existence secretly guarding here.

The Demigods on the entire Blue Star could be counted on one's fingers.

Without hesitation.

Whoosh! Number Three fled for his life at the first moment.

He was indeed afraid.

If it were a Flying-grade martial artist, he was confident he could escape and the other party wouldn't be able to track him, but a Demigod? And one who had realized Law Profound Meaning? It was simply too terrifying.

What terrifying methods the other party had was something Number Three couldn't fathom.

Silently.

Without alerting anyone, Number Three had already escaped the town's scope and rushed into the vast wilderness and mountain ranges.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to burst out at full speed, for fear of triggering too great a fluctuation in heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

Constantly fleeing for his life, in just a few minutes, Number Three had already escaped over a hundred kilometers, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Having escaped so far, plus the three hundred kilometers of separation from before, the other party shouldn't be able to catch up, right?

He had already arrived in a vast, undulating mountain range.

The sky in the northwest was incomparably vast.

Abruptly.

"Whoosh!" The color of heaven and earth changed; the sky, which had been bright and sunny, instantly became filled with dark clouds, and following this, countless raindrops were born out of thin air and directly sprinkled down.

The entire heaven and earth seemed to have changed.

"Oh no." Number Three, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, had his expression change drastically, and he could no longer care about anything else; his whole body erupted with a boom, his entire body burning with endless golden light, and his speed instantly soared to over five times the speed of sound.

Soaring into the sky!

Attempting to rush out of the scope covered by the dark rain.

"Whoosh!"

It was still a drop of rain, streaking across heaven and earth, containing endless terrifying power, instantly shooting toward that golden-light figure.

It was too fast.

The speed of this drop of rain far exceeded the golden-light figure, even giving him a feeling that he couldn't avoid it.

"Again?" Number Three's expression changed, but his true self's combat power was by no means comparable to a clone, and he suddenly roared: "Get lost!"

Whoosh! A dazzling golden light flashed, fiercely hacking toward this drop of rain.

"Ssh~"

A silent collision; this strike that Number Three had prepared and unleashed instantly annihilated, and his whole body was sent flying with a boom, fresh blood spewing out in large mouthfuls, and his arms exploded with a boom.

His whole body fell sharply in all directions.

He had already suffered heavy injuries.

"Thud~" Number Three fell heavily onto the ground full of gravel; the terrifying force made the earth vaguely tremble, directly smashing out a large pit and stirring up countless mud.

Number Three struggled to get up, just wanting to continue fleeing.

Whoosh!

Invisible power had already surged from all directions, suppressing him tightly, making even flying difficult.

Whoosh! A rope flew down directly from the void, instantly binding his arms and legs.

High in the sky in the distance.

The light distorted, and then returned to normal; a black-robed figure seemed to walk out from the void.

He walked straight to Number Three's front.

Number Three stared fixedly at the other party, trying to struggle, but found it difficult to break free.

"Shadow, for this day, I have waited for you for a long time."

The black-clothed youth smiled faintly: "Our last meeting was more than thirty years ago, right?"

"More than thirty years ago?" Number Three was stunned for a moment, and following this, his pupils constricted, as if thinking of something, almost losing his voice: "You are Fang Hai?"

"Worthy of being Shadow, your memory is truly good." The black-clothed youth smiled faintly: "Back then, you assassinated me three times in a row; today I set a trap once, it's very fair, right?"

"It's a pity your strength improved too slowly; back then you were Level 31, and now you're only Level 33."
