Chapter 1333 Ancient Divine Hall, Slaughtered by Fate

No one cowered. All of them were planning to follow Zhou Zhiwang to continue exploring this ancient divine hall.

“Alright then!”

Sun Mo shook his head. He realized that he had underestimated human greed. To everyone, the risk of death was a far cry from the temptation of the spoils found.

Moreover, they might not necessarily be the ones to die.

Due to this small episode, Zhou Zhiwang had taken over the leadership of the group.

There was no helping it. Sun Mo’s reputation was on teaching and management, not exploring. Moreover, he was only in the legendary realm and wasn’t strong enough.

Hence, Sun Mo just led his students and followed behind the group.

“Be careful. If you see that the situation isn’t right, just run!”

Sun Mo reminded them in a soft voice.

After Zhou Zhiwang took control over the group, their progress clearly sped up.

This made Sun Mo feel very uneasy

Since monsters had appeared, they wouldn’t disappear. Moreover, they had intellect. As expected, half an hour later, just as everyone’s tensed feelings relaxed, the monsters launched another sneak attack.

This time around, they attacked from the sides.

Everyone saw these monsters clearly.

They were living creatures that were the size of cheetahs. With their translucent bodies, when they remained hidden and not moving, they could integrate into the darkness. But when they moved, they would be extremely fast. Moreover, they’d give off a faint blue luminous light, looking like illuminating jellyfish.

The monsters pounced in front of their prey, biting toward their heads. As a result, some people swung their blades to slash at them, but the blades merely passed through the monsters’ bodies as if they had just slashed a lump of liquid, not leaving any injury.

On the other hand, after the monsters bit their prey, the prey would shatter into a wisp of black smoke and dissipate into the air.

“What the hell?”

This strange scene caused everyone to feel the chills!

Their attacks were useless while the monsters’ attacks could deal instant kills, catching them off guard. How were they going to fight?

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Zhou Zhiwang swung his sword, sending sword qis out and beheading two monsters that were getting close.

“Weapons won’t be able to hurt them! Use spirit qi to attack!”

Seeing this, Zhou Zhiwang quickly reminded everyone.

Spirit qi attacks referred to blade qis, sword qis, as well as various ultimate moves. Using punches was useless.

Hearing this, everyone went all out and cleared up this wave of monsters very quickly.

“What… What are these things? I have never seen them before!”

Zhou Zhiwang looked toward a long-haired great teacher who specialized in archeology and study of the species of darkness.

“I don’t know!”

The long-haired great teacher shook his head. “The way the casualties die is too strange!”

Humans would turn into a wisp of black smoke and disappear after being bitten by them?

What on earth was going on?

Before everyone could figure things out, a big problem appeared half an hour later.

This time around, it was a large group of monsters charging forth, wanting to crush them with the advantage of numbers!

“Get into formation!”

Zhou Zhiwang bellowed loudly.

Everyone then put up a fight, wiping out this monster group that consisted of 500 monsters. However, they had yet to catch their breaths when another big group of monsters arrived.

“F*ck, aren’t we too unlucky?”

Zhou Zhiwang felt that he must have stirred up a monster nest. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have encountered so many monsters. However, they mustn’t retreat. “Everyone, come on, let’s do it! There shouldn’t be anymore after we’re done killing this batch! Everyone, unleash your ultimate moves!”

It turned out that Zhou Zhiwang’s guess was wrong. After this group of monsters was wiped out, a few minutes later, another batch of monsters appeared.

“What’s happening?” A great teacher became anxious. “Why are they coming non-stop?”

Although each individual monster’s battle prowess wasn’t high, with such a large group of them charging forth, as time passed, their group size would slowly be reduced as they got worn out.

As expected, a slightly weaker great teacher over-depleted his spirit qi, and his body became fatigued. In a moment of carelessness, he got bitten by a monster at the thigh and was then pulled out of the formation.

Sun Mo and Zhou Zhiwang wanted to save him, but the monster’s speed was too fast, and it quickly bit his neck.

Pa!

The unlucky great teacher instantly shattered into a wisp of black smoke.

“Teacher Zhou, we mustn’t fight anymore! We must move away!”

Sun Mo tried to persuade him.

“There are so many monsters here. They must be guarding some secret treasure!”

Zhou Zhiwang was unwilling to give up.

The monsters were not fools. They’d usually be guarding over heavenly or earthly treasures so that they could enjoy them.

“Everyone, let’s buck up and fight our way in to take a look! If there’s nothing, we’ll leave!”

After saying that, Zhou Zhiwang charged to the front line.

Even though this legendary realm great teacher was rash and rough, he was very courageous. With him in the lead, the other great teachers’ morales were also boosted.

“Let’s stop!”

Sun Mo instructed. The way these monsters appeared gave him a very bad feeling. It was like how new monsters would keep on appearing in games.

When he used Divine Sight on them, all he could see were the big red words ‘unknown living creatures’.

Zhou Zhiwang turned back.

“Teacher Zhou, there’s no need to worry. Since we aren’t contributing, we won’t ask to have a share of the spoils either!”

Sun Mo clarified.

“Coward!”

Zhou Zhiwang cursed in a soft voice and hastened his footsteps as he attacked.

On the other hand, Sun Mo led his students and came to a stop. Very soon, the footsteps of Zhou Zhiwang’s group went further and further away along with the sounds of combat until Sun Mo couldn’t hear anything anymore.

“Do you guys think that there’s a secret treasure in front?”

Qin Yaoguang felt curious and threw a glance at Sun Mo. “Teacher, I want to go take a look…”

“No!”

Sun Mo rejected.

“Be patient and wait a little!”

Li Ziqi persuaded.

Sun Mo thought that they’d have to wait for very long, but in just 15 minutes, a big group of monsters appeared.

This scene made everyone’s pupils contract fiercely, and the muscles at the back of their necks tensed up. Damn it, could it be that Zhou Zhiwang and the others were all wiped out?

“Retreat!”

Sun Mo had his students leave first while he stayed behind to deal with the monsters.

At this moment, the monsters gushed forth at extremely fast speed, and the most terrifying aspect was that they didn’t make a sound when their feet landed on the ground. Therefore, by the time they were discovered, it was already too late.

Being left with no other choice, Sun Mo drew out two handguns and started shooting.

The spirit rune handguns didn’t have any recoil impact. In addition to Sun Mo’s sharp eagle-like vision and his great control over his body, every single one of his shots hit.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the gunshots were launched, the monsters’ heads exploded in succession.

Sun Mo waited for his students to run for a distance before he also darted out quickly.

However, the monsters gave chase relentlessly!

“Teacher, this isn’t working! We’re unable to shake them off!”

Tantai Yutang frowned. These monsters must have some kind of amazing tracking capabilities. He had already thrown out secret medicine to cover their scents, but it was useless.

He then tossed out poison gas, but it also didn’t work.

“Let me try!”

Li Ziqi took out a spirit rune grenade the size of a thumb and threw it out hard. When the monsters charged past the grenade, it exploded. As a result, the passageway that was over ten meters long was immediately drowned by the blue sea of lightning.

Rumble! Rumble!

It was as if the place had become a lightning forest.

“Eldest Martial Sister, your spirit runes weapons are getting increasingly amazing!”

Qin Yaoguang praised.

“Teacher, what should we do?”

Li Ziqi’s expression turned solemn. They could retreat, but what about Lu Zhiruo? She was still with the Central Province Academy’s great teacher group.

Moreover, Sun Mo might go to look for Jixia Academy’s group to save Mei Ziyu as well!

“You guys get out first! I’ll go save them!”

Sun Mo suggested.

“Teacher, we aren’t kids anymore!”

Jiang Leng, who had always been a person of few words, spoke up, “Moreover, Zhiruo is also our senior martial sister. Since she’s in danger, we can’t leave her be!”

“Teacher, we’re all adults now!” Helian Beifang laughed. “I even have a son now!”

“What? You have a son?”

Xianyu Wei was astonished.

“Why didn’t you say that earlier?”

Qin Yaoguang rolled her eyes at Helian Beifang and then looked toward Xianyu Wei. “Haven’t you been with Helian Beifang these few years? Why are you so astonished?”

Li Ziqi’s lips twitched. (I don’t even know where the hell my son is now.)

In the past few years, she had been constantly pestered by her aunt to get married until she found it annoying.

To speak the truth, she didn’t wish to give birth to any man’s child except her teacher’s.

“Since you have a son now, all the more you mustn’t go!”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Teacher, fleeing in face of danger isn’t the way men of the plains do things!”

Helian Beifang didn’t wish to continue this conversation and darted to the front of the group. “I’ll open up the way and find Senior Martial Sister Zhiruo!”

“At times like this, it’s still up to me!”

Qin Yaoguang was very proud because her tracking skills were the best!

In an area in the ancient divine hall.

The Skyraise Academy’s great teacher group was facing the Dark Dawn’s group led by the Daybreak Starlord.

“We saved you guys. Aren’t you even going to say a word of thanks?”.

The Daybreak Starlord was very disappointed. He was still holding onto a bamboo container that was filled with iced soy milk.

“What a joke. Who asked you guys to save us?”

As a saint realm cultivator, Zou Zhaoming spoke with confidence, “I’d be able to take care of those trashy monsters by myself!”

“Is everyone from the Skyraise Academy so arrogant?” The Daybreak Starlord sneered, “Then can you tell me those monsters’ background?”

After hearing this question, Zou Zhaoming’s brows raised, and he understood the hidden meaning in the Daybreak Starlord’s words. “You know that?”

“Of course!”

The Daybreak Starlord waved his hand impatiently. “Alright, we’re done with the trash talk. You guys should hurry up and scram out of this divine hall. Otherwise, all of you will die.”

“Vice-headmaster, why are we talking so much with these dark great teachers? We should just kill them!”

“That’s right, we should kill every single one we see!”

“We should leave just because you told us to? Don’t we need face?”

The Skyraise Academy’s teachers and students lashed out angrily, their confidence extremely high.

The Daybreak Starlord was about to speak when his heart suddenly skipped a beat. After that, he looked toward the right and bellowed, “Who’s there?”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Everyone immediately went into formation.

“I didn’t expect to meet you again here!”

Sun Mo walked out of the shadows. After Qin Yaoguang discovered these two groups, she proposed to hide in the dark to take advantage of the situation, letting the two groups fight it out amongst themselves. However, they were still discovered.

“Sun Mo?”

The Daybreak Starlord felt very emotional to see Sun Mo once again. Back then, Sun Mo was just a newbie who had just entered the great teacher world, but now, he was already someone who could stand on equal grounds with him.

No in terms of influence, Sun Mo was at the level of the Dawn Sovereign.

“If it was another time and place, I’d give you a grand invitation to appreciate tea and talk about the world. But now, I hope that you can listen to a word of advice from me and let these great teacher groups quickly leave this place. Otherwise, all of you will die.”

The Daybreak Starlord’s tone sounded very sincere.

“Can you tell me the reason?”

Sun Mo asked. His impression of this Starlord was actually not bad.

“I’m

sorry, I can’t say it!”

The Daybreak Starlord shook his head and took a sip of soy milk gloomily. “Trust me this once! I won’t harm you!”
