“It’s such a pity. Just a little more, and I would have killed that guy.” In the woods, a man in a black shirt and pants tightened his fists, indignant feelings lingering in the bottom of his heart.
Just a little bit more… If he hadn’t dodged the first attack, he would be dead for sure! Tong Cheng shook his head with a sigh. Just a little more and he would have killed someone who used to be a legend.
Since he had already been discovered, it was time to forget it. This was the Southern Sky Group’s territory, and Tong Cheng knew it wasn’t suitable for him to stay for too long.
At that moment, he was getting ready to turn around and leave. He patted the back of the Shadow Leopard beside him and waited until he was a distance before retrieving the Moonshadow Spider again. It would be a bad idea to retrieve the Moonshadow Spider now and allow people who were on its trail to catch up with him.
Swoosh! The Shadow Leopard watched the grass vigilantly. It was so close that it had already picked up Moneymaker’s scent.
Subsequently, a group of black shadows came rushing out from the grass and knocked frantically into Tong Cheng’s waist.
Even though the Shadow Leopard could vaguely feel that the monster before its eyes wasn’t a low-level one, it didn’t harbor any notion of abandoning its master or escaping. It roared angrily and leapt towards Moneymaker with its claws and teeth enfolded in the elemental darkness.
Boom! The Shadow Leopard flew back at an even faster speed than it had pounced at and knocked over a tree noisily. There was a long, thin crack in its waist that was so deep that its bones could be seen. It was practically about to be dismembered from its lower half.
Moneymaker flew forward while staying close to the ground and arrived before Tong Cheng before he could even blink. Tong Cheng’s face was pale. Of his two familiars, one wasn’t by his side, and the other had been defeated from the start. What should I do now?
In the next moment, the dark elemental shield that had just appeared to bond back together was easily torn apart by a pair of sharp claws and disappeared.
The Moonshadow Spider that was currently fighting with the Nightshadow Cat suddenly became very violent, and impatient screams emerged from its throat. Several active attacks on its side were unable to make the Nightshadow Cat move back even half a step.
The Moonshadow Spider’s body shook. Under the moonlight, its body became very dreamy and hazy, as if the moonlight had covered it with a white veil. Immediately following that, long, silver apparitions were pulled out from its body, and they jumped up and down to escape from the academy. The Nightshadow Cat took advantage of its chance and pounced forward as a group of apparitions!
The Moonshadow Spider’s footsteps halted. A strange lush green color appeared in its eyes, and it turned around 180 degrees. Its two sickle-shaped limbs were like two sinister and treacherous shadows as a horrifying destructive power erupted from them.
The Nightshadow Cat revealed the trace of a sneer. Its body, which was in mid-motion, suddenly melted into a shadow of ink that stretched as far as the eye could see. Two blades sliced through the air and penetrated through the ground, but they also ended up getting stuck there.
The Moonshadow Spider’s body stiffened. It heard a strong gust of wind coming towards it the moment it lifted his head, and this was also the last sight it ever saw.
Boom!! It was as if a magnitude 7 earthquake had happened in the open space outside the academy. The earth began dispersing towards the outside like a wave as ripples tore the grass apart. The entire academy heard this sound.
The people from the security department were held back by Gao Peng before they could run over with their familiars. Gao Peng put them in charge of blocking students who had come down to see a good show.
The Blood Eyed Bearded Vulture squatted on the ground and pulled out its wings from the earth. Its wings were covered in a thick, translucent white liquid. The boiling blood vaporized the fluids on its wings and caused black smoke to be emitted.
It flapped its wings and shook off the fluid still clinging to them. The liquid landed on the ground and eroded it until a small pit had surfaced.
Gao Peng walked over and saw a badly disfigured Moonshadow Spider lying in the depths of the pit. He saw that it was already suffering from fatal injuries. Fatal injuries were equivalent to being on the brink of death; if there were no miracles and nobody to treat it, the Moonshadow Spider was bound to die.
Gao Peng took a look at it and then bent down to pick up a stone. He tossed it. Dink! The Moonshadow Spider reluctantly looked at Gao Peng with its crushed eyes, which were brimming with indignation. With a convulsion, its breath was finally gone…
“Gao Peng, I caught it.” Moneymaker came running over from a distance away with a man in its mouth. As it had short legs, it stumbled a lot while running over, and the person in its mouth was dragged along the ground, creating friction.
Within a short time, the line between the man’s flesh and blood had been blurred. It was beyond pathetic.
Gao Peng stepped on the man’s buttocks and the latter, who was sprawled on the ground, rolled around to reveal his bloody face. The skin on his face had been ripped off. However, these were all superficial injuries and hadn’t harmed his core.
Gao Peng retrieved a small wooden box from the pocket of his trousers. The box was filled with a significant amount of white fluff. He cautiously picked a piece up and placed it on the man. The man’s visible injuries made a quick recovery before their eyes.
“Big brother, you’re awake,” Gao Peng said with smiling eyes.
Tong Chen, who woke up on the ground, glanced at Gao Peng and said nothing.
“It’s all right as long as you’re awake. Now, let’s talk about who instructed you to assassinate me. There should be no one who knows about the news of my return, so how did you know that I was in the academy?” Gao Peng’s eyes were sparkling with danger.
When Gao Peng saw that the man lying on the ground still had his teeth clenched and was saying nothing after one minute, he couldn’t help but grow bored. “Xiao Cao, you follow him and resuscitate him if he tries to kill himself. Bring him down first,” he said.
After the familiars left, the captain of the academy’s security department came running over. “Principal, this is our responsibility. We didn’t fulfill the academy security measures,” he said.
This man, who was in his forties, had anxiety and regret written all over his face. It hadn’t been easy for him to find this job and, with the addition of two children in his family recently, everyone relied on his job for survival.
Gao Peng waved his hand. “It doesn’t have anything to do with you. This is a King-tier familiar. It would be of no use even if you had stood in front of him.”
When the forty-year-old security department captain heard Gao Peng say that this didn’t have anything to do with him, he let out a sigh of relief and looked gratefully at the principal.
“Oh, right, you have to do a good job when it comes to safety among the students. I don’t want this to affect the academy’s normal learning schedule. And as for these broken walls, bring people with you to investigate them. Don’t leave any hidden dangers; fix them early,” Gao Peng said.
“All right, principal.” The security department captain nodded repeatedly.
When Gao Peng saw strands of white hair on the security captain’s head, he paused for a moment. “Don’t overwork yourself. Spend more time with your family.”
“Thank you for your concern, principal.” The security department captain smiled brightly.
Gao Peng didn’t say anything further. His identity had determined that it would be hard for him to continue no matter what he said.
There was, naturally, no interrogation room in the Tiange Academy. Why would an academy set up something like an interrogation room? Gao Peng found a vacant warehouse in the woods and shut the door. There were no students within 330 feet.
Tong Cheng took a deep breath and stared at the closed doors and windows. The light in the warehouse had become dim, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart. “What do you want? Lynching is illegal,” he said.
“You’re already so grown up. Why do you still say such childish things?” Gao Peng sneered.
