Chapter 287: Chapter 219: Shadow, I've Been Waiting for You for a Long Time
It was truly terrifying; at that moment, Li Yuan even had an illusion.
It seemed that with just a thought from the other party, he could be killed.
Boom~ Li Yuan's consciousness returned to clarity.
“Stay here and be good,” a gentle voice came into Li Yuan's ear.
The next instant.
In Li Yuan's vision, the black-clothed figure a kilometer up in the sky took one step, and the light around him seemed to twist.
Then he disappeared without a trace.
Boom!
The sense of overcast clouds enveloping the world also vanished in an instant, and Li Yuan was completely back to normal.
“Who was that?” Li Yuan was indescribably shocked in his heart.
He believed that the black-clothed figure he had just seen was definitely the most terrifying existence he had ever witnessed in his life.
Without a doubt!
He was definitely one of the peak existences of human civilization, far surpassing the average Flying Heaven level.
After all, Li Yuan had seen Dean Hai, a Flying Heaven warrior, and the sense of oppression he brought couldn't even begin to be compared to the other party.
They were not in the same league at all.
“A single raindrop, to kill a Flying Heaven-level warrior?” Li Yuan recalled the scene just now, a shiver going through his heart.
It was utterly unimaginable.
It had surpassed Li Yuan's understanding.
“Is it the power of heaven and earth? Sixth Stage techniques?” Many guesses emerged in Li Yuan's mind: “Or even more sophisticated levels of skill?”
It was too fantastical.
If the other party had used a weapon, a sword or spear to kill the opponent, Li Yuan, while still shocked, would somewhat understand the realm of that power.
But just a raindrop flicked from a fingertip? How was that possible!
“Is that mysterious and terrifying existence someone beyond the level of Flying Heaven? Has he been protecting me all along?” Li Yuan already thought of many possibilities in his heart.
The assassination plot with himself as bait was most likely controlled by that black silhouette in the background.
Just as Li Yuan was lost in his wild thoughts.
Less than ten seconds passed.
Boom! Boom! Two streaks of light swept across the vast sky, and two shadows flashed across the earth at high speed before rapidly converging into solid figures.
One of them was Dean Hai.
Their speed was fast, but in their Unity of Heaven and Man state, the disturbances they caused as they advanced were not too great.
“You two?” The delivery person was slack-jawed with amazement.
Even with a slow reaction, he had a vague realization that he might have just experienced something significant.
“You can leave now,” Dean Hai said in a deep voice.
“Yes,” the delivery person nodded repeatedly, leaping onto the flying vessel and quickly drove it away.
He did not want to get involved at all.
…Silence fell over the grassland.
“Li Yuan, are you alright?” Dean Hai had landed on the ground and approached Li Yuan, his voice urgent: “Are you hurt?”
Dean Hai stared at Li Yuan.
He was worried about Li Yuan's safety.
Just now, both of them had suddenly sensed a terrifying fluctuation of the power of heaven and earth erupting.
Especially Dean Hai, his first thought was of Li Yuan.
“Dean,”
Li Yuan shook his head: “I'm fine. I was just saved by a mysterious black-clothed predecessor.”
The two great Flying Heaven warriors looked at each other, already having a rough understanding of what had transpired.
“It must be the Chancellor,” Dean Hai muttered.
“Definitely,” the other person, a lady in white, nodded firmly: “According to the plan, we were just a cover, responsible for secret surveillance and protection, while the Chancellor took the lead.”
“The Chancellor?” Li Yuan was stunned.
Was that mysterious black-clothed man the chancellor of Kunlun Martial University?
Whew!
Dean Hai waved his hand, and the weapons and combat armor lying at a distance flew before the two of them.
Then a strand of Origin Power filament shot out from Dean Hai's hand, directly infusing the weapons.
He seemed to be conducting an inquiry.
After just a few seconds.
“Indeed, they are Third Rank weapons; only Flying Heaven warriors with an Origin Pill as their core or Prime Warriors who have mastered True Intent can activate them,” Dean Hai slowly said: “The assassin, with a ninety-nine percent probability, is of the Flying Heaven level.”
“A Flying Heaven-level spy!”
“But there's no fluctuation of an Origin Pill vanishing; it must be the Doppelganger Technique.”
“This is a very high-end Star Technique; among our warriors, very few in our civilization have successfully cultivated it,” Dean Hai said with a serious face: “If nothing unexpected has happened, the assassin must be 'Shadow,' the most fearsome Flying Heaven assassin of the Tianliang Clan infiltrated within our Blue Star.”
Clearly, Dean Hai knew a lot and was privy to many secrets.
“Shadow?”
Upon hearing this, the white-clothed woman's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but look towards Li Yuan: “To think that Shadow personally made a move to assassinate you, you really live up to being recognized by the higher-ups as Blue Star's number one talent of the future,”
Li Yuan was taken aback.
The number one talent of the future of Blue Star? Did the higher-ups have such high expectations for him?
“Li Yuan, don't worry too much,” Dean Hai said: “Surely you must have noticed, from the release of the short video to the Chancellor personally guarding, in reality, it was a killing formation deliberately set up… orchestrated by the Chancellor himself.”
“Not telling you was just to make everything appear more real, to force the most terrifying of the infiltrators to show themselves.”
“The Chancellor dared to do so because he was absolutely confident,” Dean Hai said earnestly.
“Understood,” Li Yuan nodded.
Sometimes, the higher-ups not telling him in advance naturally have their considerations.
Li Yuan couldn't help but say: “Dean Hai, who exactly is the Chancellor?”
One move to kill a Flying Heaven level?
With such strength, not only terrifying, was he merely the Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University?
Could it be that all over Blue Star there were a large group of such terrifying beings?
Dean Hai and the woman in white looked at each other.
“In fact, you've heard his name before,” Dean Hai said with a smile.
“Heard it before?” Li Yuan became even more confused.
“Previously, you were not qualified to know, but now you are nearly qualified.” Dean Hai smiled, “The headmaster of Kunlun Martial University is just the least noticeable amongst his many identities. He has two other identities.”
“One identity is as the Star Master of the Seven Star Alliance.”
“The other identity is the 'Hall Master' of the Starfire Blue Star headquarters,” Dean Hai said with a laugh.
Li Yuan listened, dumbstruck.
The Star Master of the Seven Star Alliance? He had heard about that from Li Yang. But the Hall Master of the Starfire Blue Star headquarters? This, this!
Among the three great Martial Halls, the Starfire Martial Hall is subtly ranked first. To be the Hall Master of Blue Star is absolutely one of the pinnacle existences of Blue Star.
“Then why would he be at our school…” Li Yuan couldn't help asking.
Why would such a supreme existence come to be a headmaster?
“He did not come to be the headmaster,” Dean Hai said with a faint smile. “The location of our Kunlun Martial University happens to include a Star Realm, named the 'Kunlun Star Realm,' which is also a Second Level Star Realm. Over the past few decades, it has been showing a trend of upgrading to a Third Level Star Realm.”
“Kunlun Star Realm?” Li Yuan held his breath.
Every additional Third Level Star Realm is a disaster to the entire human civilization.
“It is from that time that the headmaster came to assume the role,” Dean Hai said with a laugh. “Being the headmaster is incidental; in fact, he is responsible for guarding the entry and exit of the Star Realm.”
“To prevent any unexpected incidents.”
Li Yuan suddenly understood.
“The headmaster's name is Fang Hai,” Dean Hai said with an enigmatic smile. “Yes, the very Fang Hai I used to mention to you so often.”
Fang Hai?
The headmaster is Fang Hai? Li Yuan's eyes bulged out in shock.
As Li Yuan was chatting with Dean Hai,
Three hundred kilometers away from Kunlun Martial University, in a small town, inside a house.
“The Mystery of the Law!”
“A Demigod! Has Xia Country birthed another Demigod?” Number Three, clad in a black robe and having failed in his assassination, felt extremely shaken.
He could have never imagined that a Demigod was secretly protecting this place.
Demigods on Blue Star could be counted on one's fingers.
Without any hesitation,
Whoosh! Number Three immediately fled for his life.
He was indeed scared.
If it was a Flying Heaven Warrior, he was confident that he could escape without the opposition tracking him, but a Demigod? Especially one who grasped the Mystery of the Law? It was truly terrifying.
Whatever dreadful methods the other party possessed were beyond Number Three's estimation.
Without a sound,
Without alerting anyone, Number Three had already escaped the town's vicinity and sprinted into the vast barren mountains and ranges.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to burst forth at full speed, fearing he might cause too much disturbance in the natural world.
Phew!
As he kept fleeing, just a few minutes later, Number Three had already escaped by over a hundred kilometers, letting out a sigh of relief internally.
Having escaped this far, and considering the previous three hundred kilometers, he should be beyond reach now, right?
He had arrived at a vast and undulating mountain range.
The sky to the northwest was boundless.
Out of the blue,
“Whoosh!” The color of the world changed. What was once a sunny sky instantly became overcast with clouds, followed by countless raindrops being spawned out of nowhere, pouring down.
The whole world seemed transformed.
“Not good,” Number Three, who had just relaxed, turned pale, and no longer caring for caution, burst out with full force, his body burning with endless golden light, and his speed skyrocketing to more than five times the speed of sound.
He soared into the sky!
Attempting to break out of the scope of the gloomy rainy weather.
“Whoosh!”
Yet again, a single raindrop, containing boundless terrifying power, shot towards the golden figure in a flash.
Too fast.
The speed of the raindrop far exceeded that of the golden figure, giving him a sensation of unavoidable doom.
“Again?” Number Three's expression changed, but his true strength as a primary entity was not comparable to that of a doppelganger. He suddenly roared, “Get lost!”
Whoosh! A dazzling golden light flashed by, ferociously striking at the raindrop.
“Sss~”
In a silent collision, Number Three's charged attack instantly dissipated, and his entire body was violently thrown back, coughing up blood, his arms exploding into pieces.
The entire figure plummeted towards the ground on all sides.
He was severely wounded.
“Boom~” Number Three crashed into the ground full of rubble, the terrifying force causing the earth to tremble, smashing a large crater and kicking up countless clods of earth.
Number Three struggled to get up and thought to continue fleeing.
Whoosh!
But an invisible force was already surging in from all directions, pinning him down so hard that even flying became difficult.
Whoosh! A rope suddenly descended from the void, instantly binding both his arms and legs.
In the distance high in the sky,
The light warped and then returned to normal as a figure in a black robe seemed to step out from the void.
He walked right up to Number Three.
Number Three stared fiercely at the other party, trying to struggle, but could not break free.
“Shadow, I have been waiting for this day for a long time,” said a young man in black with a faint smile. “The last time we met was over thirty years ago, wasn't it?”
“Over thirty years ago?” Number Three was stunned, then his pupils constricted as if he realized something and almost cried out, “You're Fang Hai?”
“To be commended, Shadow, you have a good memory,” the young man in black replied with a faint smile. “Back then, you attempted to assassinate me three times; today, I set a trap once. Quite fair, I'd say.”
“It's just a pity that your strength has improved too slowly. You were at the Thirty-First Level back then, and now you are still only at the Thirty-Third Level.”
