Chapter 276 "The Resurrection"
Chapter 276 "The Resurrection"
"Commander, it seems there's no way to avoid it. There are a lot of monsters on two of the paths." Ban Su took the lead and then saw a group of cultivators from Wanjue Academy fighting monsters.
There aren't many cultivators from the Wanjue Academy who fight monsters, so Ban Su felt there was still a good chance of taking them down.
Ban Su spoke his mind, and Kong Ji pressed his fingers down. Before Ban Su could finish speaking, the prayer beads in his hand suddenly emitted a golden light.
A golden cage appeared out of thin air, descending straight into a corner of the jungle and instantly enveloping Jiang He.
No, it should be Jiang He disguised as Flying Sickle.
Ban Su's words were interrupted. He glanced back at the direction of the cage and saw that "Flying Scythe" was imprisoned inside. He was overjoyed.
"You guys are here too?"
Jiang He nodded:
"That's right. We just encountered cultivators from Wanjue Academy and almost all of us died there. Kongji, our Liuyun Academy wants to cooperate with you, Lingqing. The cultivators from Wanjue Academy are currently fighting demons. The number of demons in the demon tide is large, and they might not be able to handle it. Why don't we join forces to eliminate this group of Wanjue Academy cultivators?"
Jiang He, sporting the appearance of a flying sickle, laughed as she spoke.
She was gambling that Kong Ji was unaware that the group from Liuyun Academy had encountered trouble.
The long-obsolete Flying Scythe felt a surge of resentment as it watched Jiang He transform into its own likeness.
He had just quickly turned off the live stream, but later, wanting to watch the matches between other cultivators from Liuyun Academy and Wanjue Academy, Feilian reopened the live stream.
When he saw Jiang He impersonating him and negotiating with the cultivators from Lingqing Academy, he wished he could reach into the screen and tell Kong Ji that he had already been eliminated.
Fei Lian hadn't expected Jiang He to exploit their Liuyun Academy so thoroughly, not only eliminating them all and getting kill points, but also using their Liuyun affiliation to negotiate with Ling Qing's cultivators.
Moreover, he even saw a line of cultivators behind Jiang He, all wearing the school uniforms of their Liuyun Academy!
By this point, Fei Lian was already cursing a hundred times. Even as a ghost, he recognized his own academy's uniform—it was the same one that had fallen out of their backpacks.
Fei Lian continued watching the live stream, where the chat was filled with discussions about Jiang He's gameplay.
[They just came from the monster tide, and the cultivators from Wanjue Academy learned about this formation for a while. I feel their overall skill boost has increased significantly.]
Jiang He is so bold! She actually disguised herself as Fei Lian to negotiate with Kong Ji, and how did she know that Lingqing Academy and Liuyun Academy had the intention to cooperate?
I don't know how she knew. If I hadn't watched the live stream, I would have been fooled by Jiang He.
Suddenly I realized how important looting is. Jiang He is truly the number one looter in the academy competition. Not only did she pick up the weapons of eliminated cultivators, but she even took the clothes from their backpacks! It's absolutely insane!
I knew it! So that's why Jiang He put away the Liuyun Academy uniform earlier.
That's a pretty slick move, haha. Let's see if Kongji falls for it.
]
Kongji looked at the person in front of him. "Flying Sickle" was bent over and still had a messy head of hair.
His gaze toward Jiang He was unusually sharp, as if he wanted to see through her body.
Jiang He looked back, glanced at Ling Qing's cultivator, and spoke hastily:
"What's going on here? You've accidentally hit friendly fire!"
Before Kong Ji could speak, Ban Su's expression changed drastically.
Just as the cultivators from Liuyun Academy arrived, another group suddenly rushed out.
The team's school uniforms were very eye-catching, standing out like a cluster of flames in the mountains and forests.
A figure in a red school uniform—who else could it be but a Void Realm cultivator!
Shangguan Linghu remained calm and composed while mingling in the Jingxu Academy.
Ban Su was first startled when he saw the red school uniform, and then even more startled when he saw Shangguan Linghu:
"How did the people from Wan Jue end up mixed up with Jing Xu? Have these two academies partnered up?"
Shangguan Linghu and Ye Qing stood together. Ban Su stared at them for a while, and then noticed that the cultivators coming from this side included those at the Void Realm and those at the Absolute Realm.
Shangguan Linghu kept Jiang He's instructions in mind.
You have to be quick, accurate, and ruthless when you make your move!
Upon meeting Ling Qing's cultivator, Shangguan Linghu stabbed Jiang He, who was in a cage, without saying a word.
Confined by the cage, Jiang He's movements were restricted. She bent down to dodge, but the sword still struck her arm squarely.
Blood flowed freely, leaving Ban Su completely stunned.
"Kongji, take down your broken cage! Wanjue and Jingxu have both cooperated against our Liuyun, and you still won't make a move. If you help, Liuyun will no longer cooperate. We might as well perish together."
Jiang He's words carried a threat, and the person staring blankly at the cage seemed to be pondering something.
However, at this moment, Ye Qing saw Shangguan Linghu actually slash Jiang He with a knife, and she, who had been hesitant, also swung her sword at Jiang He.
And so, the cultivators from Jingxu Academy and Wanjue Academy, led by Ye Qing, directly clashed with the cultivators from Liuyun Academy. They attacked not only the Liuyun cultivators but also the Lingqing cultivators.
The cultivators, including Shangguan Linghu, were like those who would wield a blade, quickly dodge, and then look for an opportunity to attack.
Each time, after harming one cultivator, they would withdraw from the battlefield without lingering in the fight.
As a result, the cultivators of Lingqing Academy had no way to deal with Shangguan Linghu.
The battle between the four academies was incredibly chaotic, with cultivators in red, black, and blue uniforms all mixed together. Those with weak discernment abilities wouldn't be able to tell who was friend and who was foe.
The chaos was not conducive to quiet contemplation, and he still did not remove the cage.
Under Jiang He's threat, Ban Su and the cultivators from Lingqing Academy were forced into the battle.
It was thought that with their addition, the battle would soon change, after all, more and more members of the Jingxu Academy were falling, leaving only a few people.
Upon seeing this, Ban Su was overjoyed and decided to go over and collect a few heads.
Ban Su charged fearlessly, staff in hand, his brow furrowing even more deeply. His head was completely bald, and the vermilion birthmark between his eyebrows was vividly bright.
"Ban Su, turn back! Everyone retreat."
After Kongji finished speaking, a hint of sorrow appeared on his face, which was devoid of desire and ambition.
The cultivators of Lingqing Academy were engrossed in the battle when they suddenly heard Kong Ji's words and were stunned.
At that very moment, Jiang He and Shangguan Linghu's eyes met. The Liuyun Academy cultivators, who had been wielding their swords towards Jingxu and Wanjue, suddenly sprang into action. Each of them had a clear target and plunged their swords into the bodies of the Lingqing Academy cultivators!
Those fallen cultivators, including those at the Void Realm and the Absolute Realm, also "came back to life" from the dead.
