Suddenly, the void distorted as a huge slash tore through the air, heading straight for the students. They were all shocked, and they all attacked at the same time. In the distance, Zhang Dingtian rose into the air, his eyes cold as ice.
Even though they had heard of him before, the students still felt numb when they saw him in person. There were realmbreakers among the natives, which was simply abnormal.
With a whoosh, an arrow streaked across the sky and struck one of the students. It was the same student who had attacked the capital, and blood splattered from the sky.
This was Wu Sheng, one of the Seven Sages, the Wolf Sage. He had been overseeing the grasslands, but he had learned that the capital was under siege through a gadget he had stolen. He had come to help a few days ago.
The Four Sages were fighting more than twenty students. The difference in power was so great that even Zhang Dingtian couldn't make up for it. In less than fifteen minutes, Zhou Shan spat out blood, his body covered in wounds. Wu Sheng's abdomen had also been pierced by a student.
Tens of thousands of cultivators from the Chinese camp had come out to fight, but they had been slaughtered like weeds. They couldn't even get close to the students.
Jeraldine hid in a corner, watching the scene in horror. She wasn't from Earth, so she wouldn't throw her life away. Besides, she couldn't even stop a single student with her strength.
A gust of wind blew past, freezing the world. Many students looked at the ruins of the city walls in astonishment. There, two students had been frozen. Hayden was shocked. "Innate Gift! You … you actually have an innate gift!"
The word 'innate gift' shocked everyone, and all the students looked at Bai Xue in disbelief.
Her originally beautiful face was now imprinted in everyone's hearts.
Bai Xue's lips were red, and blood dripped from her chin to the ground. She breathed heavily, exhaling cold air with every breath. She was already at her limit, and these monsters couldn't be killed.
Not many people knew about Bai Xue's innate gift, not even the Seven Sages. She had hidden it well, but she was helpless against Hayden's students.
The next moment, all the students stared at Bai Xue greedily. Everyone knew the importance of an innate gift, and if they could capture one for the faction behind them, their status would skyrocket.
The student who had stabbed Wu Sheng casually threw him aside and laughed as he charged at Bai Xue.
The student who had been planning to kill Zhou Shan also grinned and charged over.
In the sky, more than ten idle students attacked at the same time. At this moment, White Snow was even more important than the capital, or even the fugitive.
Jeraldine sighed. This was the sorrow of the weak. Since Bai Xue's talent was exposed, she could only be captured. No one would waste a talented cultivator. She would be arranged to be married off to some influential figure in order to increase the chances of giving birth to a talented cultivator.
Eddy stared greedily at White Snow and rushed over, but Zhang Dingtian was faster. "Scram!" Zhang Dingtian roared, and countless slashes flew out from all directions.
More than twenty students were forced to retreat. They were shocked by Zhang Dingtian's strength, but even so, it did not diminish their determination to snatch Bai Xue. Talented cultivators were too important.
Eddy's fist slammed into Zhang Dingtian's abdomen, knocking him back ten meters. Still standing, Zhang Dingtian slashed out with his saber, forcing Eddy to retreat.
Hayden crushed the water crystal and shouted, "Waterspout!" A torrent of water rushed towards Zhang Dingtian. At the same time, all sorts of attacks came from all directions.
Zhang Dingtian's eyes widened, and he clenched his teeth so hard that they bled. With a low roar, he stabbed his saber into the ground and slashed it out. From bottom to top, countless rocks shot out in all directions. The earth trembled, and a huge crack spread from outside the city into the city, burying countless survivors.
The attacks from all directions were blocked by Zhang Dingtian, and he himself was at his limit.
Several students who hadn't attacked before suddenly charged out, two attacking Zhang Dingtian and one grabbing at Bai Xue. "The talented cultivator is ours, haha!"
Zhang Dingtian was hit, and his body was pressed into the ground. He almost lost his grip on his saber.
Bai Xue stared at the student and raised her hand. "Frost Palm!"
Bang!
A shockwave swept across the sky and froze the ground. The student grabbing at Bai Xue was instantly frozen solid. He had underestimated her; she was one of the Three High Saints, comparable to the strongest in the academy. Even Hayden couldn't take her down.
Eddy saw that Zhang Dingtian was heavily injured and charged out again, this time grabbing at Bai Xue. The talented cultivator was just as valuable as a fugitive, and Zhang Dingtian had been eliminated.
Two other students attacked at the same time, all of them comparable to Hayden. The three of them grabbed at Bai Xue at the same time. Even Zhang Dingtian couldn't protect her now.
Bai Xue's face paled. "Is it over?
What a pity. "
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of Bai Xue. Boom! Boom! Boom! Three loud bangs were heard, and three figures were sent flying. It was Eddy's group.
All the students stared at the man who had appeared in front of Bai Xue in disbelief. Who was he?
He had defeated three of the strongest in the academy in a single blow.
In the corner, Jeraldine's eyes widened. "He's back!"
Back in the city, Zhou Shan laughed bitterly and spat out blood.
Bai Xue stared at the figure in front of her in shock; he wasn't tall, but he had shielded her from the wind and rain. This person had really returned, and he seemed to have become even stronger.
It was naturally Lu Yin who had appeared in front of Bai Xue. He didn't have a gadget, so he obviously didn't know that the capital had been attacked.
"I told you I'd be back," he said.
"Be careful, there's too many of them," Bai Xue said weakly.
Lu Yin nodded, his expression turning solemn. Indeed, there were too many people. He was now a peak Sentinel, and his Cosmic Palm was no weaker than Zhang Dingtian's. However, even Zhang Dingtian had been beaten to a pulp, so it would be difficult to fight them head-on.
Cough cough.
Zhang Dingtian crawled out from the ground, leaning on his sword. He glanced at Lu Yin before sweeping his gaze around, his expression resolute.
Lu Yin tossed the medicine to Zhang Dingtian, "Treat him."
Zhang Dingtian violently swallowed the healing medicine.
Lu Yin was speechless; he'd rubbed it on himself, but whatever, it should be effective even if he swallowed it. After all, it came from Shamrock Enterprises.
In the distance, Eddy and the other two stood up and stared at Lu Yin, "Who's there?"
Lu Yin didn't plan on wasting words and put on Gerlaine's armor, sparks flying as lightning clashed around his body.
Hayden was shocked, "That's Gerlaine's armor, why do you have it?"
"She gave it to me," Lu Yin replied indifferently.
"Impossible!" Eddy, Hayden, and a few other students exclaimed at the same time. Gerlaine was very famous in the Great Yu Empire because of her powerful and overprotective brother, Gerbach. Whenever he was mentioned, the younger generation of the Great Yu Empire would feel powerless. He was a freak, and because of him, no one dared to bully Gerlaine. If that armor had really been given to this person by Gerlaine, then it would be troublesome. Was this person related to her family?
All the students stared at Lu Yin in shock; this person couldn't be Gerlaine's boyfriend, could he?
Lu Yin took a deep breath, his gaze turning sinister, "Stay away," he said, charging straight at Eddy. He was the strongest of the students and the one who had organized the attack on the capital. His goal was to capture the ringleader first.
While Eddy was still pondering over Lu Yin's identity, Lu Yin's attack had already reached him. He hurriedly retreated; he had just experienced Lu Yin's power and didn't want to face him head-on.
Lu Yin used the Roving Step to appear in front of Hayden, who was surprised to see Lu Yin actually attacking him. "Waterspout!" Hayden tried to cover himself with water in an attempt to block Lu Yin, but Lu Yin rushed in front of him with a smirk. He then struck out with a palm in the direction Eddy had retreated.
"Spacerender Palm?"
Eddy was shocked and punched back, the shockwave pushing everything aside as Lu Yin circled around Hayden to attack him again.
Eddy gritted his teeth, "Kid, don't go too far."
Lu Yin sneered and raised his hand to strike Eddy.
Eddy snorted as he sensed danger. He clenched his right fist as he heard the faint roar of a beast. This was his battle technique, the Beastmaster's Fist, which he had used to defeat the strongest students from thirty different academies and enter Yu Academy as an exception. Back on Earth, he had only used it against Zhang Dingtian and a fugitive, but now, he was being forced into a corner.
Stars appeared in Lu Yin's palm as he unleashed the Sirius Palm. Three stars flickered and then exploded. The first star exploded, causing Eddy's eyes to widen as the Beast King Fist was forcefully stopped. The second star exploded, causing intense pain in his right fist. When the third star exploded, Eddy spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards, his right fist shattered and his body smashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Against Eddy, Lu Yin didn't hold back with the Sirius Palm and crippled him in one blow.
