Chapter 460: Who is the Liar?

The chase through the forest continued.

Yu Lang's figure leaped and wove through the dense woods like a nimble monkey; however, although he was agile, there were simply too many people pursuing him, and they were hanging tightly behind him, constantly tightening the encirclement.

The opposing side had committed all their main forces to the containment of Yu Lang.

It was just that because they were overly wary of Yu Lang's "dual resonance" and feared he might fight to the death if cornered, their pursuit was slightly restrained. Coupled with the fact that speed was indeed his strong suit, he had managed to drag things out despite facing such a large number of pursuers.

But as time passed, Liu Xiao and the others began to grow impatient.

It had dragged on for too long.

Delays lead to complications.

"Forget it, close the net!" Liu Xiao gritted his teeth and shouted.

Immediately, his figure shot out first, his palm striking out. White resonance power whistled, whipping up a sky full of snowflakes, forming a snow python about a dozen yards long. The snow python shrieked, its tail swinging like a giant hammer, bringing with it a wind-tearing sound as it smashed directly toward the back of the fleeing Yu Lang.

This strike was exceptionally swift and fierce; even though Yu Lang sensed it and tried his best to accelerate, he was still struck by the tail end of the python.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, a sweetness rose in Yu Lang's throat, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his body rolling for more than ten meters like a rolling gourd.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiao and the others behind him had their expressions turn extremely colorful.

"Something isn't quite right," one team leader couldn't help but say.

"He is... so weak," another team leader said, also somewhat hesitant.

Liu Xiao's eyes were also filled with suspicion and uncertainty. The first time Yu Lang was hit, it could have been called intentional, but the second time was the same, which seemed a bit brainless. Moreover, the moment he struck Yu Lang's body, he could vaguely feel that the resonance power surging on the latter's body surface was not as strong as he had imagined.

It even felt a bit like the strength of the Pattern-Forming Stage.

Possessing dual resonances, yet only at the Pattern-Forming Stage?

That's not very likely!

"Liu Xiao, is your intelligence wrong?" A team leader looked at Liu Xiao with unkind eyes. In the current situation, that Yu Lang was clearly not as terrifying as Liu Xiao had described, and as for the so-called dual resonance, they hadn't even seen him display it.

"Liu Xiao, you wouldn't have done this on purpose, wanting to swallow the Spirit-Gathering Altar all by yourself, would you?"

Seeing the suspicious gazes of the others, Liu Xiao's face turned green, and he hurriedly defended himself: "I didn't lie to you. That senior of ours did indeed tell us personally that there is a person named Yu Lang at the Saint Profound Star Academy who possesses dual resonances and is extremely troublesome."

"Does he look troublesome to you now?" one person sneered.

Liu Xiao was speechless; his heart was equally filled with grievance and confusion.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking more. Let's catch this guy first and ask for the location of the Spirit-Gathering Altar," someone finally said.

Hearing this, everyone nodded. Ignoring the reasons behind Liu Xiao's claims, they began to close in and surround Yu Lang step by step.

Yu Lang climbed up, his whole body aching. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared at these people with a furious expression, and cursed, "Which academy are you bastards from? How can you be so lacking in martial virtue?!"

Liu Xiao stared coldly: "Yu Lang, what kind of game are you playing?"

Yu Lang was completely bewildered and furious. Among these ten bastards, three were in the Resonance-Forming Stage, and the others were at the Pattern-Forming Stage, which was higher than his own. With so many people ganging up on him, how did they have the face to ask him what game he was playing?

"Show your true strength; that would be a sign of respect for us," Liu Xiao said coldly.

Deep in his eyes as he stared at Yu Lang, there was still a trace of anticipation. He actually wanted to see Yu Lang display astonishing strength now; at the very least, that would prove he hadn't been lying. Anyway, they had the numbers, so even if Yu Lang really had dual resonances, they wouldn't necessarily be afraid.

And if Yu Lang really was as weak as he had just appeared, Liu Xiao would truly be unable to clear his name.

Yu Lang: "..."

He suddenly felt a bit weary. Communicating with this group of lunatics was truly exhausting. If his skills were inferior, they could kill or carve him up as they pleased; why the need to humiliate him?

I've used every ounce of my strength, what else do you want me to show?

The current situation felt like this.

Liu Xiao: You are very strong!

Yu Lang: I am really not strong!

Liu Xiao: Don't hide it anymore!

Yu Lang: I'm really not hiding anything!

So what could Yu Lang do? He could only spread his hands. Forget it, no more resisting; let it be whatever it will be.

Seeing Yu Lang's appearance, Liu Xiao was so angry he gritted his teeth. Was this Yu Lang truly so vicious that he would rather be captured than clear Liu Xiao's name? How could there be such a malicious person in this world!

The teaching philosophy of the Saint Profound Star Academy had truly opened his eyes.

Liu Xiao gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me. Once I catch you, I'll strip you bare and hang you up."

Yu Lang: "..."

Damn it, that's going too far. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated; you guys are breaking the rules by humiliating people like this.

Does this guy really have a problem with his brain? Even a rabbit will bite when pushed to the limit!

"Fine, fine, you want to see it, you bastard? Then I'll let you see it!"

Yu Lang said angrily, gripping the long blade in his hand tightly, his eyes turning fierce.

Seeing him like this, everyone immediately became alert. Waves of resonance power rose in the forest, covering their bodies while whipping up the wind and snow on the ground.

Was this hidden dual-resonance expert from the Saint Profound Star Academy finally going to reveal his true skills?

Cyan wind resonance power rose on the surface of Yu Lang's body. His strength was currently only at the fourth pattern of the Pattern-Forming Stage. Although he couldn't compare to those top students who had stepped into the Resonance-Forming Stage, he was gradually keeping pace with some ordinary Purple-Glory students.

However, in the current situation, this bit of power clearly wouldn't change anything.

But he had no choice; he could only fight with all his might.

"Chaotic Cloak Slash!"

Yu Lang took a step forward, and with a roar, he slashed down with his blade. Three cyan wind blades shot out immediately, slashing directly toward Liu Xiao's face.

Liu Xiao, holding a long sword, also channeled all his resonance power. The sword edge whistled, and astonishing cold air permeated the area.

Then, he slashed fiercely at the three wind blades.

Chi chi chi!

As the sword light fell, the three cyan wind blades only lasted for a single breath before shattering completely.

Deep disappointment and anger appeared in Liu Xiao's eyes. Why? Why was this Yu Lang so weak? This was impossible!

And just as anger surged in his heart, suddenly, behind the three shattered wind blades, another streak of light shot over. That streak of light was shimmering, appearing extremely dazzling in the chaotic forest.

The hair on Liu Xiao's body suddenly stood on end.

The sword light in his hand turned, and resonance power erupted. The icy resonance power seemed to transform into a white python, hissing as it collided with the shimmering streak of light.

Bang!

A loud sound erupted.

At the moment of impact, Liu Xiao clearly felt an astonishing force pouring in like a flood. His white python sword light shattered in an instant, and that streak of light slammed heavily into his body.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Liu Xiao's mouth, and his figure flew backward, crashing heavily into a large tree.

However, Liu Xiao didn't care about the injuries in his body; instead, he was ecstatic: "Did you see that? Did you see that! I wasn't lying, this power, it's dual resonance!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Lang was also somewhat stunned. He looked down at his long blade. Had he become this strong now? He could actually defeat a top student at the first transformation of the Resonance-Forming Stage?

Could it be that I really possess power that even I don't know about?!

Thinking of this, Yu Lang couldn't help but pull a joyful smile to the corners of his mouth.

But he suddenly saw the expressions of the people opposite him begin to change, and their gazes—were they afraid of him?

No.

They were looking behind him.

Yu Lang couldn't help but turn his head, and then he saw a group of people who had appeared in the forest behind him at some unknown time.

The leader, elegant and handsome, peerlessly dashing—who else could it be but Li Luo?

Seeing Li Luo, Yu Lang's eyes immediately filled with tears of joy.

Li Luo rubbed his chin, looking at the dozen or so people surrounding Yu Lang. He could tell at a glance that several of them were at the Resonance-Forming Stage. He was immediately puzzled and laughed: "Yu Lang, what kind of heaven-defying, earth-shattering thing did you do? How did you attract so many people to mess with you?"

Yu Lang wiped his tears, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Why?

I, damn it, want to know too, why these people are so twisted.
