Chapter 69: Break-in

Jiang Xia stood up from the chair, as if ignoring the noisy surroundings.

After he left, the few male classmates behind him also followed him out, and their smug expressions flashed across their faces.

Jiang Xia slightly turned his head to glance, as if confirming something, while the finger inside his pants pocket slightly curled.

In the shadow of the classroom's inner ceiling, the colorful spider, as if having received some command.

The compound eyes on its eight foreheads flashed with colorful light.

Then it split into three; the eight spear‑like legs darted swiftly across the wall, their tips slender, each step advancing soundlessly and formlessly.

It noticed the three people, but the three classmates seemed unaware, and its eight legs moved rapidly.

The surrounding students instinctively crouched, covering their heads with their hands, curling up.

Jiang Xia, wearing a school uniform, stepped onto the school stairs one by one, his face showing a hint of pleased smile.

A fist as big as a sandbag heavily struck the thug's face, accurately and directly hitting his nose.

Several of them instantly bent backward and landed directly on the necks of those three people.

Bang!

The air exploded, and Shancun Long's face instantly collided with a huge, heavy fist.

He now seems like one person controlling three in a game, using the lowest settings to fight monsters.

A vigorous strike hit Shancun Long's wrist, and the weapon in his hand slipped out and fell to the ground before he could react.

Dong dong dong!

Angry Shancun Long tried to pick up the weapon on the ground again, but another person swiftly kicked it aside and then grabbed his hand to prevent him from moving.

The sharp spider‑spear pierced their necks like cutting tofu, going deep.

Their bodies were not trained year‑round like Minghu's; they were merely three high schoolers who liked to bully the weak.

After they woke up, possibly due to muscle strain, their bodies ached continuously—this was also their punishment.

This is a fugitive; Jiang Xia sensed it, and as someone who earns large sums by capturing criminals.

The companion beside them looked at the covered neck, moved the hand away, but saw nothing.

"Ah!" one male classmate clutched his neck, his face pallid, as if in great pain: "I feel like something bit me."

"What just happened? My body moved on its own."

Jiang Xia stood steadily on the stairs, making little movement.

A sudden powerful force smashed into the glass door, then exploded, sending glass shards flying out as the door teetered on the verge of falling.

And the enraged Shancun Long, facing two men whose power exceeded the norm, found himself temporarily unable to freely swing his arms.

Bare‑handed, he blocked a thug at the doorway—not a bad feat.

"High schoolers' bodies are still too weak," Jiang Xia muttered to himself.

The continually beaten Shancun Long gradually stopped struggling and began to act like the school's students at the beginning.

Two of its front legs instantly lifted and stabbed directly at their skin.

The surrounding students also gradually stood up, watching the fight from afar, watching Shancun Long lying on the ground being beaten repeatedly.

Shancun Long is still a thug wielding a weapon; alone he broke into the high school campus, and a moment's inattention could injure or even kill many students.

One stepped sideways with a boxing stance, raised his arm and threw a punch, while the other two each grabbed one of Shancun Long's arms.

However, Jiang Xia copied his previously practiced martial‑arts techniques onto these three high schoolers, one‑to‑one.

It seems this person is not a simple fugitive; let's check on him later.

These three will likely never be able to disturb anyone again in their lives; his kin will treat them well.

With a muffled grunt, Shancun Long was knocked senseless by that punch.

They dared only to watch from afar, but as the parties involved, the three were suddenly awakened, staring at their own hands in astonishment.

Before they could say a few more words, the three, as if prearranged, simultaneously rolled their eyes and fainted outright.

Moreover, faint, barely visible fine lines appeared on their faces.

"Shancun Long, you are suspected of prison escape, intimidation, and murder."

And whenever they prepare to do something bad.

Jiang Xia suddenly thought of something, lightly clenched his right fist, and his gaze instantly locked onto Shancun Long, who was dodging everywhere.

He already felt his power approaching; soon he would be able to subdue this man.

"kiva!"

Another directly tried to snatch the umbrella that Shancun Long was using as a weapon.

He held an umbrella resembling a long sword, continuously swinging it around.

He could only keep opening his mouth, trying to bite the hand on his shoulder.

"Is the security here really this bad? And it's only the first day of school," Jiang Xia sighed.

That roar made the originally leisurely‑controlling Jiang Xia instantly frown.

This person didn't come fleeing in panic from Minghu's pursuit; instead, he aimed at him or at Hong Du.

Taking advantage of the opening, the boxing high schooler's fist blasted straight at Shancun Long's defenseless face.

Each strike accurately hit various parts of Shancun Long's body, all being very effective weak points that cause loss of resistance.

"Are high schoolers' combat abilities really this strong now?" Minghu said quietly while leading Shancun Long out of the hall.

One of them turned with extreme agility to dodge the swinging umbrella, then moved as nimbly as a monkey.

"Shancun!"

And the three people who were stopping Shancun Long now displayed astonishing combat talent.

Even without seeing his exact appearance, one could sense the fugitive's anxiety and unease.

A person clad head‑to‑toe in tattered clothes suddenly burst into the formerly tranquil campus.

As Shancun Long was taken away by Minghu, Jiang Xia also lifted the control over the three high school students.

The three of them surged directly from behind Jiang Xia, heading toward Shancun Long.

Minghu rushed forward, restrained Shancun Long, and tightly bound him to the ground with rope.

After being under Jiang Xia's control, the forced activation of his body's various abilities caused excessive energy consumption, and he fainted.

"It's an illusion, there's nothing up there, no wound either. Let's think about how to deal with that new transfer student."

Minghu sprinted, burst straight out from the corner, and chased the fleeing Shancun Long at high speed.

Only the rough outer skin and the slightly darkened skin that hadn't been washed for a few days could be seen.

"Crack!"

The three schoolmates who were tracking Jiang Xia and planning to prank him suddenly trembled all over.

Seeing the large umbrella that Shancun Long kept waving in his hand, Jiang Xia frowned.

Enraged, he lost his reason even more, his face grew increasingly feral, and his expression no longer resembled that of a human.

The surrounding students all looked at these three with fearful faces.

Although they were merely high school students, neither fast nor strong, they still gave off a sense of power.

Slowly clasping his head with both hands, his tall body began to bend gradually and lie on the ground.

His gaze was solemn, and that fierce action seemed not to fear the armed thug at all.

However, the three, in absolute calm, paid no heed to how Shancun Long roared.

"Dealing with a wanted criminal, Minghu, who has my power, should be no problem, but the students here might be taken as hostages."

The body would itch all over unbearably, and in the end the pain would become intolerable, suffering greatly.

If, at that point, they still do not repent, the spiders inside them will devour their life energy amid pain and despair, until they vanish completely from this world.
