An Lin hadn’t fought to his heart’s content like this for a long time.
No, wait, correction! He hadn’t bullied his adorable fellow students to his heart’s content like this for a long time.
The last time he had been this free-spirited was when he and Da Bai were posing as the Gallant Human and Dog Duo.
At that time, he had ridden the mighty and imposing Da Bai everywhere, beating up all the adorable fellow students with their interspecies mixed partnership, carving his heroic figure deeply into the minds of all the students.
Now, he had already established himself and had slain tens of thousands of students.
The majority of students that had been eliminated thus far were by An Lin’s hands.
He was like an invincible War God setting forth for the central region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.
“Hehe… My adorable fellow students, have you felt my power? Have you felt despair? Let’s see who dares to call me Turtle An from now on!”
An Lin flew on his black brick as he cackled menacingly.
Many of the students on the White Stone Plaza were already getting anxious.
“It’s over. Demon King An is about to crush the last remaining group of students!”
“Is there… Is there no one who can stop the Demon King?”
“There’s no one left. Senior Student An Lin has apparently already broken through to the Soul Formation Final Stage. From a cultivation base standpoint alone, he has set a new record in the history of our school. Who could stop him?”
“But what if it was her…”
“Right! There is still one person who can stop him!”
Many of the students began to realize who was being referred to here as they all turned up to look at the screen with scorching excitement in their eyes.
Some were filled with anticipation, while others looked like they were settling in to watch a good movie.
An Lin flew to the central region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks. This was usually the place where all the seeded competitors on the Immortal Rankings Board fought, but for some reason, it was bizarrely quiet here.
A night breeze blew past, bringing with it a hint of coldness.
An Lin furrowed his brows as he unleashed his divine sense, but he couldn’t discover the presence of any other students nearby.
No! There was someone!
His expression shifted as he flew in a certain direction.
Soon, he saw a man in a black robe sitting on the ground with his legs folded in front of him.
The man’s aura was concealed, and he seemed to be building up to something.
He suddenly opened his eyes as an undisguised battle intent appeared on his handsome face.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Senior Student An Lin! First Year, First Class, Zhu Xiaojie. Please enlighten me!”
An Lin quickly recalled who this was. This was the top dog among the freshmen, and apparently, he was a rare prodigy from the Great Tang Imperial Family of the Bai Hua State. However, An Lin had no idea what his forte was.
On the White Jade Plaza, many of the first-year students let loose cries of surprise upon seeing Zhu Xiaojie, with many of them offering words of encouragement. It was clear that he was quite popular among the freshman cohort.
“I’ve finally encountered a decent opponent. I hope you won’t disappoint me.” An Lin chuckled as he made his way toward Zhu Xiaojie.
A faint smile appeared on Zhu Xiaojie’s face as he gripped both hands toward the sky.
The power of the stars in the sky converged to materialize a purple glaze that swept toward An Lin with a dreamy light!
“Oh? So you specialize in playing with the power of the stars? That is indeed quite interesting.” An Lin’s interest was piqued as he pointed a finger straight into the sky.
The spectating students immediately exclaimed in astonishment, “The Finger of the Heavenly Dao?”
The other students rolled their eyes at them. “Do you really think God An would need to use the Finger of the Heavenly Dao against an opponent like this?”
Sure enough, there was no eruption of power from An Lin’s finger. It made direct contact with the purple blade, and the purple blade was unable to advance even an inch further.
“Is that it?” The smile of a Demon King appeared on An Lin’s face. “Then I really am going to be disappointed.”
Zhu Xiaojie’s aura suddenly soared explosively as he stamped a foot into the ground.
“Star Realm Illusion!”
Boom!
The purple blade suddenly exploded, transforming into a cloud of illusionary mist that settled over An Lin.
In that instant, An Lin’s eyes glazed over slightly.
A hint of shock jolted through his heart. So Zhu Xiaojie’s intentions were not to attack with the power of the stars, but instead to unleash extremely powerful illusionary realms with the power of the stars!
“Impressive. But you’re not hoping to use this illusionary to ensnare me, are you?” An Lin chuckled lightly with a taunting expression.
An illusionary realm of this caliber could ensnare a Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator, but it was far too much to expect something like this to trap him.
“I don’t need to ensnare you, I just need to buy a split second of time,” Zhu Xiaojie replied with an indifferent voice.
What did he mean?
An Lin blinked in confusion.
Right at this moment, two extremely powerful sword projections tore through the illusionary mist, tearing an inky-black fissure of over a thousand feet in length in the ground below.
The two sword projections consisted of one black and one white, cooperating together extremely harmoniously like two enraged dragons, blocking off all avenues of escape available to An Lin.
An Lin’s expression shifted in astonishment. “What the hell is going on? Have you all gone insane?!”
He didn’t dare to get careless, and he extended both hands in different directions to defend himself against the two sword projections.
Clang!
A sharp screeching sound erupted as the sword projections made contact with his palms.
The resulting tornado of sword intent instantly pulverized the ground within a radius of several hundred meters from him.
Two figures appeared from the shadows. One of them was a man with frosty, handsome features while the other was a dainty, enchanting woman in a green dress.
Many of the students on the White Jade Plaza let loose cries of surprise upon seeing these two.
“They are the third-year students Yao Mingxi and Yao Xiu!”
“My God! They’re the most powerful sibling combination among the third-year students! Yao Xiu is at the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage and Yao Mingxi has reached the Spirit Nurturing Final Stage! I heard they have a combination sword technique that can defeat even Soul Formation Stage powerful beings!”
All third-year students stared intently at the two people on the screen, as if they were participating in the battle themselves.
“Say… Don’t you guys find it strange that they’re allowed to band together as a team?”
“Strange, my a*s! An Lin is a Demon King! How are they going to beat him if they don’t team up!”
“Yeah! Unite to defeat the Demon King!”
“Knock Demon King An Lin onto his a*s!”
A new wave of cheers erupted across the plaza.
Ganging up on one person as a team was prohibited in free-for-all battles, but none of the spectating students opposed this development.
Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, An Lin yelled up at the sky, “Teacher, I want to report these people for breaking the rules! Aren’t they supposed to fight me one on one?”
Earth Immortal Cang Qing, who was responsible for supervising the central region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, remained silent as a smile appeared on his face.
Vice-Principal Yu Hua, who was responsible for supervising the entire trial, was also smiling with a devious expression.
You little sh*t! That’s what you get for being a living hack! We decided to fiddle with the rules of the free-for-all battle to make things more interesting!
None of the teachers replied to An Lin’s report. The only thing that responded to his yell was an explosion in the ground.
Boom!
The ground below An Lin’s feet suddenly erupted as a man who had been hiding under the ground using a concealment technique finally emerged at this critical juncture to launch a fist at An Lin!
A golden fist sent waves of power exploding forth for several hundred meters, flattening the air into a pancake.
An Lin had just extended his hands to defend himself against Yao Mingxi and Yao Xiu’s sword projections, so there was no way he could dodge this attack! Thus, An Lin was hammered into the sky as a resounding boom erupted.
“It’s Student Hu Guan!” a student screeched.
“The top dogs of the first year and third year have already arrived, and now the top dog of the second year is also joining the party?” Some students were extremely excited to see this.
“Who’s going to be next?” Some students were already looking ahead with anticipation.
These prodigies who were ganging up on An Lin carried the hopes of their entire respective year levels on their shoulders. All of them were working toward the collective goal of defeating Demon King An Lin.
An Lin could bully them all he wanted as they couldn’t offer up any resistance.
But these top prodigies among their respective year levels would avenge everyone!!!
The atmosphere in the plaza reached a climax amid bursts of enthusiastic cheers.
An Lin looked up as he was bashed into the sky.
There, a woman with luscious, long hair emerged from the clouds atop a blue Moonlight Disc while holding a lotus flower, which contained the fearsome power of the moon.
Her dreamy blue eyes appeared especially bright with excitement under the moonlight, and she splayed her palms open as the blue-and-white lotus flower pierced through space before crashing into An Lin.
“Immortal Wrath Fire Lotus, explode!”
