Chapter 65: Melee

  Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, I may post more updates, please support me, Xiaoxing, thank you.

  Even if they had just joined the Imperial City College, even if they hadn't seen the Imperial City College yet, there was still a sense of pride in their hearts. Being able to obtain the qualification to enter the Imperial City's resources, who else could surpass them in the entire Western Border?

  Besides, many people come from large families and are treated this way, how can they not be angry? The blood in their hearts is stirred up, facing these robbers, they finally have the courage. "Let's get rid of them, we outnumber them, let's see who can't hold on when the time comes." That's right, they do outnumber them. This group of people who joined the Imperial City Academy, add up to over a hundred.

  But these robbers, there were only about thirty of them at most. Robbers, they weren't without blood on their hands either. Once this sunk in, the crowd's morale began to return, and the robbers before them didn't seem so intimidating anymore.

  "Very well, dare to resist, kill me." For some reason, the bandit leader seemed to not want to consider it too much and directly gave the order. The others also did not hesitate, swinging their machetes and charging over.

  "Kill them, you are all students of the Imperial City Academy, don't shame the academy." Liu Yin shouted loudly, and somehow pulled out a long sword from somewhere. Before others could act, he went forward first, intercepting the leader of the robbers.

  Only the two of them had reached the spiritual realm, if he didn't block this guy in front, then those students behind would suffer heavy losses. Now, it can only be hoped that these freshmen have some strength and combat experience. Otherwise, when they return to the academy, his guilt will be great. I really don't know where these people came from.

  As soon as they came into contact, it was a chorus of battle cries. Two people charged towards Huo Hai. Huo Hai wanted to test his own strength, so he didn't use the Star Nailing Pillars, but instead pulled out a long sword made of bone and charged forward to meet them head-on.

  Ji Mu also unfolded the battle afterwards. As for Yun Er, she was too young and her strength wasn't enough, so it's better to ignore her. She could only follow behind Huo Hai, tagging along and getting a taste of the action. The opponent's large knife was like a raging storm.

  It seemed to be a kind of swordsmanship, but Huo Hai couldn't understand it. This swordsmanship was not recorded by anyone either. In a short period of time, Huo Hai could only awkwardly parry the strong attacks from the bandit in front of him. He felt a wave of emotion in his heart, indeed his combat experience was still very lacking. Without having gone through actual battles, he couldn't even defeat someone with lower cultivation than himself, and it ended up being such a sorry state.

  It's actually better on the side of Ji Mu. Because Ji Mu's cultivation is stronger, the long whip in his hand seems like a spiritual snake. Even Chu Yun Tian can see that Ji Mu's actual combat ability far surpasses his own.

  Ji Mu seemed to have sensed Huo Hai's gaze, turned her head and took a glance, the triumph in her eyes didn't need to be concealed. When it comes to fighting, I'm still stronger than you. This guy in front of me, defeating him is just a matter of time.

  In other places, fierce battles also unfolded. The academy team had a large number of people, and although many were afraid and didn't dare to fight, those who could still made up the vast majority. Even though there were more masters among the bandits, they still took advantage of their numbers to gain the upper hand. Unfortunately, this was only temporary, and the bandits' decision to make a move at this time was not without preparation.

  A few minutes passed, and suddenly Huo Hai felt the boiling blood in his body calm down a bit. His body suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, almost unable to block an attack, and was nearly injured by the opponent. Fortunately, Yun'er helped him out from the side, allowing him to dodge it.

  "This won't do, the physical exhaustion is too severe, we can't keep going on like this." Huo Hai suddenly remembered that they had just stopped to rest and have lunch. The food wasn't even ready yet, and their strength hadn't recovered at all. For a short period of time, it seemed like they were in an advantageous position. But if the delay dragged on for too long, things wouldn't be good. Even Huo Hai was starting to feel a bit dizzy at this point.

  Helpless, Huo Hai had to put aside his idea of using his opponent to gain combat experience and quickly settle the matter. Huo Hai's soul and spirit far exceeded those of ordinary people. The speed at which he gained experience was visible to the naked eye, making Ji Mu envy him.

  "Ah......" Just then, a miserable cry suddenly rang out. Huo Hai turned his head to look and saw that one of the students had his eyes wide open with an expression of unwillingness on his face. On his chest, there was a large black knife protruding from his body, clearly beyond salvation.

  Liu Yin heard this voice, and his heart was furious: "Bastards, dare to kill college students, you all will die." Liu Yin's eyes turned red with anger, he didn't expect these guys to actually dare to take drastic measures. Where did these enemies come from?

  Huo Hai scanned the surroundings, only to find that everyone's face was starting to look tired. On the contrary, these robbers were all energetic and vigorous. Even with injuries on their bodies, they didn't seem to care at all. Wait a minute, what's going on? Why did it feel like these people weren't ordinary robbers? There was something... right, there was a military-like feeling about them.

  Huo Hai also found something was wrong. However, at this time, Ji Mu's cry of pain made Huo Hai understand that now was not the time to think about these things. Ji Mu's physical strength had been severely depleted and he could hardly hold on any longer. At this moment, he actually let his opponent gain the upper hand.

  "It can't be helped, I still have to use you guys." Huo Hai's heart stirred, and several star gu in the gourd were abolished. Some began to crawl onto Huo Hai's body, while a few came into his hands. Next, Huo Hai made a gesture as if using hidden weapons.

  With a light flick of his finger, he even let out a loud shout: "Flicking Finger Divine Ability." Anyway, in this world, no one came to mock him.

  The robber, who was startled by Huo Hai's loud shout, hadn't reacted yet when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and a small hole appeared on top of it. Everything went black before him, and he fell to the ground without even letting out a cry of despair.

  Another snap of the fingers, and the bandits beside Ji Mu also arrived. Ji Mu took a deep breath, glared fiercely at Huo Hai, then rolled his eyes in exasperation. It seemed he was blaming him for not acting sooner. And to make matters worse, the technique used to conceal the insect had an odd name - "Divine Connection". How dare he come up with such a name, actually using the word "divine"?

  Forget it, I'll remind him later. The word "god" isn't something to be used casually. Fortunately, no one noticed him now, so there's no harm done. The only person who might have overheard, Hei Bai, is not close to Huo Hai either.

  Huo Hai's awkward smile seemed to have also discovered that something was off. He didn't continue shouting, but instead waved his hands continuously. One after another, star nails flew out from his fingertips, automatically finding their targets and fiercely stabbing into the opponent's head.

  After molting, the star worm can easily penetrate the human head. Those who have not reached the spiritual bone realm and have not tempered their bones cannot withstand the attack of these insects at all. Others look terrifying. Huo Hai is like a small Li Fei Dao that never misses its mark. Every attack accurately hits the opponent's head, then pierces through it.

  No one knows what kind of hidden weapon is being used. Even if you look closely, you can only see a flash of light, and then the bandit is dead. In such a short period of time, several bandits have already died at Huo Hai's hands.

  "You dare to kill us, you little bastard? Everyone, get him, take him down!" The robbers suddenly realized that this kid was the most dangerous one. A group of people abandoned their opponents in front of them and rushed towards Huo Hai.

  A large crowd of people, with a fierce momentum, yet somehow coordinated. Huo Hai sneered, these guys are just pretending to be robbers. Looking at their appearance, Huo Hai became more and more certain that they had an ulterior motive. Unfortunately, he didn't know what the purpose was. At least those big families in Xijiang shouldn't have done such a thing.

  "Good timing." Huo Hai shouted, not hiding anything. His hands grasped at the empty air, then didn't even snap his fingers, directly sending it out in a strange manner. A large amount of starlight sparkled and scattered from Huo Hai's hands.

  In almost an instant, the robbers who didn't even have time to dodge were wide-eyed and collectively fell to the ground. Not a single one was spared. The power of this move even shocked Huo Hai himself.

  It seems that I underestimated the penetrating power of Xing Huang, and there are actually masters of the Linggu Realm inside. I even added another gu worm, which was aimed at the opponent's throat. These people have two wounds on their bodies, one on the head and one on the throat. The Xing Huang in the Lingxue realm can actually penetrate the skull of a Linggu master so easily.

  The power of this thing, it seems that I need to study it carefully. Huo Hai was panting and secretly retrieved the Gu insect. This wasn't an act, but he was really exhausted. Rushing on the road plus fighting, the consumption of his strength and spiritual energy was not a small amount.

  The people around looked at Huo Hai with wide eyes. No one had expected that Huo Hai would be so terrifying. Everyone's eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and reverence. Of course, there were also some people whose eyes were full of greed. The bandits were all dead, leaving only the leader, and from now on, they wouldn't have any more trouble.

  "Bastards, you dare to kill my subordinates, I'll make you all die!" The leader roared loudly, his momentum increasing again. In this state, Liu Ying was completely suppressed. At this point, the battle between the two had reached a boiling point.

  This battle is the key to whether we can survive today. The terrifying power of the Lingzhe boundary is not something they can handle at all. If this bandit leader survives, he alone will be able to wipe out our entire side.

  As for Huo Hai, it's not that everyone looks down on him, but rather no one thinks that a yellow-grade expert can inflict any damage on an xuan-grade expert. In fact, Huo Hai himself is also clear about this, unless he launches a sneak attack. Otherwise, his Gu worms are not so effective against a Lingzhe realm expert. Moreover, once he makes a move, his secret will be exposed.

  What to do is good, looking at this situation, Liu Yin can't hold on for much longer. Once Liu Yin dies, it won't be easy for these people to get into the Imperial City Academy. Huo Hai also doesn't want to expose himself too early.
