Chapter 220: Shadow, I've Been Waiting for You
Chapter 220: Shadow, I've Been Waiting for You
At this moment, Li Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of dread, so much so that he almost had the illusion that the other party could kill him with a single thought.
Boom~ Li Yuan's mental consciousness suddenly became clear.
"Stay here." A gentle voice sounded in Li Yuan's ear.
In the next instant, the black-clad figure a thousand meters high in the sky took a step forward, and the light around him seemed to distort.
He disappeared without a trace.
Boom! The oppressive feeling of the dark clouds that had covered the sky also vanished, and Li Yuan was completely back to normal.
"Who was that?" Li Yuan was shocked beyond words.
He believed that the black-clad figure was undoubtedly the most terrifying existence he had ever seen in his life.
Without a doubt!
One of the absolute peak existences of the Seven Stars Human Civilization, far surpassing the average Flying Heaven Rank.
After all, Li Yuan had already met the Flying Heaven Rank Hai Xuan, and the oppressive feeling he got from him couldn't even be compared to this figure.
They were not on the same level.
"A single drop of rain can kill a Flying Heaven Rank?" Li Yuan recalled the previous scene, a shiver running down his spine.
It was truly unbelievable.
This was beyond Li Yuan's comprehension.
"Is it the power of Heaven-Earth Unity, or the skill of the Sixth Stage?" Li Yuan's mind raced with various speculations: "Or is it an even more profound skill?"
It was too surreal.
If the figure had held a weapon and killed the opponent with a single blade or gun, Li Yuan would still be shocked, but it would be within the realm of his understanding.
But with just a flick of the finger, a drop of rain was shot out? How was this possible?
"This mysterious figure, is he an existence beyond the Flying Heaven Rank? Has he been guarding me all this time?" Li Yuan's mind raced with numerous possibilities.
The mastermind behind the assassination plot, designed to use him as bait, was most likely that black-clad figure.
Just as Li Yuan was lost in his thoughts.
In less than ten seconds.
Boom! Boom! Two rays of light swept across the sky, leaving two shadows in their wake. They darted forward at incredible speed, and in the next moment, their figures solidified.
One of them was Hai Xuan.
Although they moved swiftly, their Heaven-Earth Unity state kept their forward momentum relatively small.
"Barui!" The deliveryman who had just arrived was dumbfounded.
No matter how slow his reaction was, he had a vague sense that something major had just happened.
"Yes." Barui nodded repeatedly and quickly jumped onto a flying vehicle, driving it away at high speed.
He didn't want to get involved at all.
... The grass field returned to its peaceful state.
"Li Yuan, are you okay?" Hai Xuan had landed on the ground and approached Li Yuan, his voice filled with urgency: "Are you injured?"
Hai Xuan stared at Li Yuan.
He was worried that Li Yuan might be in trouble.
Just now, both of them had suddenly sensed a terrifying surge of Heaven-Earth Unity energy.
Especially Hai Xuan, who immediately thought of Li Yuan.
"Dean."
Li Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "I'm fine. I was just saved by a mysterious black-clad senior."
The two Flying Heaven Warriors exchanged a glance, and they already had a rough understanding of what had transpired.
"It must be the Principal." Hai Xuan said in a low voice.
"Definitely." The other white-clad woman nodded firmly: "According to the plan, we were only supposed to provide cover. The one secretly monitor and protect us was the Principal."
"Principal?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
Was that mysterious black-clad man the Principal of Kunlun Martial University?
Hai Xuan waved his hand, and the weapon and battle armor that had fallen to the ground some distance away flew over to the two of them.
A strand of Origin Energy shot out from Hai Xuan's hand and directly penetrated the weapon.
As if probing something.
After only a few moments.
"It's indeed a Tier Three Weapon, only a Flying Heaven Warrior using their Origin Core as the core or an Origin Warrior controlling True Intention could wield it.
"The assassin, with a ninety-nine percent probability, is the legendary Tianliang Clan's most terrifying Flying Heaven assassin, 'Shadow'."
Hai Xuan's face turned solemn: "If there are no surprises, the assassin should be the one rumored to be the Tianliang Clan's most terrifying Flying Heaven assassin hiding in our Blue Star, 'Shadow'."
Apparently, Hai Xuan was well-informed and had access to many intelligence reports.
"Shadow?"
Upon hearing this, the white-clad woman's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but say: "You forced Shadow to personally come out and assassinate you. You truly live up to the higher-ups' recognition as the future Blue Star's top genius."
Li Yuan was stunned.
The higher-ups had such high expectations of him as the future Blue Star's top genius?
"Li Yuan, don't worry too much." Hai Xuan said: "You should have noticed by now that from the released short video to the Principal's personal protection, it was actually a carefully designed assassination plot... set up by the Principal himself."
"By not telling you, I just wanted to make everything seem more realistic, to force the most terrifying hidden figure to reveal himself."
"The Principal's confidence in doing this must have been absolute." Hai Xuan spoke solemnly.
"I understand." Li Yuan nodded.
There must have been a reason why they didn't inform him.
Li Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Hai Xuan, who exactly is the Principal?"
A single move, killing a Flying Heaven Rank? With such power, was he merely the Principal of Kunlun Martial University?
Could it be that there were numerous such terrifying existences in the world?
Hai Xuan and the white-clad woman exchanged a glance.
"Actually, you've heard his name before." Dean Hai smiled.
"Heard his name?" Li Yuan became even more puzzled.
"Previously, you weren't qualified to know, but now you're almost qualified to know." Dean Hai smiled again: "The Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University is just one of his many identities, and it's the least notable one. He has two more significant identities."
"One identity is as the Star Sovereign of the Seven Stars Alliance."
"The other identity is as the Lord of the Starfire Blue Planet Headquarters." Dean Hai smiled.
Li Yuan was stunned speechless.
The Star Sovereign of the Seven Stars Alliance? He had heard Li Yang mention this before. But the Lord of the Starfire Blue Planet Headquarters? This! This!
Among the three major martial halls, the Flame Star Academy is unofficially ranked first. The person who can serve as the Lord of the Blue Planet is undoubtedly one of the peak existences on Blue Star.
"But why would he be at our school..." Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Such a supreme existence, how could he come to serve as the Chancellor?
"He didn't come here to be the Chancellor." Dean Hai smiled faintly: "Our Kunlun Martial University is located in a star realm called the Kunlun Star Realm, which is a Second Tier Star Realm. In recent decades, there has been a trend for it to upgrade to a Third Tier Star Realm."
"Kunlun Star Realm?" Li Yuan held his breath.
A Third Tier Star Realm, each additional one is a catastrophe for the entire human civilization.
"From that time on, the Chancellor began to serve as Chancellor." Dean Hai smiled: "Serving as Chancellor is just a side job; the main responsibility is to guard the entrance and exit of the star realm."
"To prevent any unexpected situations."
Li Yuan was enlightened, now he understood.
"The Chancellor's name is Fang Hai." Dean Hai's face carried a hint of a mysterious smile: "Yes, the same Fang Hai I often mentioned to you."
Fang Hai?
The Chancellor is Fang Hai? Li Yuan's eyes bulged wide.
...
While Li Yuan was chatting with Dean Hai,
Three hundred kilometers away from Kunlun Martial University, in a small town, inside a house.
"Law Mysteries!"
"Demigod! Absolutely a Demigod! Another Demigod has been born in Xia Country?" Number Three, wearing a black robe, was utterly shocked after the failed assassination.
He never imagined that there was indeed a Demigod secretly guarding this place.
The number of Demigods on the entire Blue Star can be counted on one hand.
Without any hesitation,
Whoosh! Number Three fled for his life at the first opportunity.
He was indeed afraid.
If it were a Flying Warrior, he was confident he could escape without being tracked, but a Demigod? One who has comprehended the Law Mysteries? It was too terrifying.
The other party had some terrifying means that Number Three couldn't even fathom.
Silently.
Without alarming anyone, Number Three had already escaped the town and rushed into the vast wilderness and mountains.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to unleash his full speed, fearing that it might cause too much disturbance in the heavens and earth.
Phew!
Continuously fleeing, in just a few minutes, Number Three had escaped over a hundred kilometers and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Having escaped such a distance, plus the initial three hundred kilometers, the other party should not be able to catch up, right?
He had arrived in a vast, undulating mountain range.
The northwestern sky was boundlessly vast.
Suddenly,
"Whoosh!" The heavens and earth changed color. The originally bright and sunny sky instantly turned overcast, and countless raindrops were born out of nowhere, directly pouring down.
The entire world seemed to have changed.
"Trouble." The relieved expression on Number Three's face turned drastically. Without any hesitation, he burst forth with all his might, his body burning with endless golden light, his speed instantly surging to over five times the speed of sound.
He shot straight into the sky, trying to break free from the rain-covered area.
"Whoosh!"
Still, a single raindrop, streaking through the heavens, carrying boundless terrifying power, instantly shot towards the golden figure.
Too fast.
The speed of this raindrop far exceeded that of the golden figure, making him feel as if he couldn't avoid it.
"Again?" Number Three's face changed, but his true combat strength far exceeded that of his clones. He roared fiercely: "Get lost!"
Whoosh! A dazzling golden light flashed, ruthlessly slashing at the raindrop.
"Shh~"
The silent collision instantly extinguished Number Three's explosive attack, and he was thrown back, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, his arms exploding.
He plummeted sharply in all directions, already severely injured.
"Boom~" Number Three landed heavily on the ground strewn with gravel, the terrifying force causing the earth to tremble slightly, directly creating a large crater and sending up countless pieces of soil.
Number Three struggled to get up, intending to continue fleeing.
Phew!
A
Whoosh! A rope suddenly descended from the void, instantly binding his arms and legs.
In the distant sky.
The light distorted, then returned to normal, and a black-robed figure seemed to step out of the void.
He walked straight to Number Three's front.
Number Three stared at him, trying to struggle but unable to break free.
"Shadow, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
The young man in black smiled faintly: "We last met over thirty years ago, right?"
"Over thirty years ago?" Number Three was taken aback, then his pupils constricted, seemingly remembering something, almost shouting: "You are Fang Hai?"
"Not bad for Shadow, your memory is really good." The young man in black smiled faintly: "Back then, you tried to assassinate me three times in a row. Today, I set a trap for you once. Fair enough, right?"
"Unfortunately, your strength hasn't improved much. You were Level 31 back then, and now you're only Level 33."
