Chapter 341: Overkill?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The [Eight-Armed Vajra] slowly raised its fist. Crimson blood dripped from its fist. It was unknown if it was the blood of the [Undead Swordsman] or if it was its own blood seeping out of its own wound.
A few hundred meters away, when the students saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded. They opened their mouths slightly and looked at the cliff in confusion, as if they had yet to react to what had happened.
Among them, Wang Xiao was the most shocked. After all, the others only felt the sharp aura of the [Undead Swordsman], but he had really fought it before— if being dealt with by the other party’s sword was also considered a battle.
“Is this the strength of a diamond soldier…”
It was unknown who muttered, but the others finally came back to their senses one after another. After looking at each other in shock, they immediately erupted into intense cheers!
“Academy Head Huang is mighty!”
“Academy Head, you’re my idol!”
“Academy Head Huang, you’re too awesome!”
Everyone danced and cheered.
Wang Xiao was also extremely excited. After shouting a few times, he suddenly thought of something and pulled Gao Lixuan to ask, “Brother Xuan, you just said that the Academy Head indeed had a bright future in the army. What happened?”
“A bright future?”
Gao Lixuan was stunned for a moment before reacting. He waved his hand and gestured for Wang Xiao to lean over. He whispered mysteriously, “I previously heard that our Academy Head used to have outstanding military achievements and was even chosen as the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Sixth
Military Region!”
“Commander-in-chief… Oh!”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed and he subconsciously wanted to exclaim. Just as he opened his mouth, he was covered by Gao Lixuan.
“Lower your voice!”
Gao Lixuan made a shushing gesture and warned, “I only heard about it. Moreover, the Academy Head doesn’t seem to like others mentioning this matter. Don’t let it slip!”
Wang Xiao nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. Only then did Gao Lixuan let go.
“But why?”
Wang Xiao spat and asked softly, “Since the Academy Head is qualified to become the commander-in-chief, why did he come to open an academy? This doesn’t make sense!”
“I don’t know about that.”
Gao Lixuan shrugged. “You also know that I often cooperate with the military on some missions. I heard them mention during a mission that the Academy Head was once a candidate for the commander-in-chief—”
At this point, Gao Lixuan suddenly paused. He looked around for a moment to confirm that no one was paying attention to them before continuing in a low voice, “However, I heard that the Academy Head made a huge mistake back then and was expelled by the military.”
“Expelled?”
Wang Xiao was even more stunned. “How big a mistake did he make to be expelled as the commander-in-chief candidate?”
Gao Lixuan shook his head to indicate that he was not sure. Wang Xiao was about to ask something else when he suddenly heard someone beside him say in confusion, “Huh?”
“Everyone! The situation doesn’t seem right!”
Su Qingmo pointed at Turk in the distance and frowned. “His soldier has been destroyed. Why isn’t he reacting at all?”
Wang Xiao looked up and realized that Turk indeed did not react at all. However, this did not seem to be accurate. The corners of Turk’s mouth curled up a little more than before, as if he was smiling?
Right at this moment, a sharp blade suddenly clanged and an afterimage soared into the sky from the place where the Undead Swordsman disappeared. When it landed, a figure appeared. He was wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. It was the Undead Swordsman!
“How is this possible?!”
Yi Han could not help but exclaim, “That punch clearly hit it just now. Why does it look unharmed?!”
“I got it!”
Su Qingmo had a flash of inspiration. “The enemy should have recalled the soldier back to his territory the moment it was hit!”
“I see!”
“Sister MO is right!”
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
Everyone from the Flowing Cloud Academy praised her, but Gao Lixuan retorted, “If it used the method you’re talking about, the [Undead Swordsman] should have appeared on the ground, not underground. Moreover, there was no flash of the soldier disappearing just now.”
Su Qingmo held her breath and immediately revealed an awkward expression. She shouted angrily, “Then tell me what happened!”
“I don’t know!”
Gao Lixuan shook his head with a frank expression. Then, he pouted at Wang Xiao. “But he seems to have discovered something.”
Everyone looked at Wang Xiao when they heard this. Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before saying hesitantly, “The [Undead Swordsman] should have stabbed the ground. We thought that it was smashed down, but in fact, it fell on its own. If it were me, I would have done this.”
“It fell?”
Su Qingmo revealed a suspicious expression. The others also looked unconvinced.
Although this guess did sound reasonable, could anyone really react so quickly at such a critical moment?
Before everyone could continue thinking, the battle in the distance began again.
The [Undead Swordsman] flipped its wrist and drew a sword. In an instant, a cross sword slash was sent flying towards the [Eight Arms Vajra].
On the other hand, the [Eight-Armed Vajra] had no intention of dodging. It swung its injured fist and shattered the cross sword. At the same time, it clenched its other hand and punched the head of the [Undead Swordsman] again!
Under the strong wind, the [Undead Swordsman] was immediately suppressed on the spot and could not move. Everything seemed to have happened a few seconds ago, but this time, the audience finally saw its actions clearly—
Just as it was frozen by the fist wind, the [Undead Swordsman] flicked its fingertips and the longsword turned half a circle in its hand before he held it in a reverse grip. Then, he stabbed the ground with all his might, and the sharp sword slash turned the ground half a meter around it into powder!
The [Undead Swordsman] that had lost its support fell to the ground with a whoosh. At the same time, the fist of the [Eight-Armed Vajra] had already All of this happened in less than a second. If one looked at it coherently, it was as if the [Undead Swordsman] had been punched into the ground by the [Eight-Armed Vajra]!
BOOM!
A loud bang sounded, but the people watching the battle were dead silent.
Almost everyone looked at Wang Xiao as if they were looking at a monster, not understanding how this guy’s brain worked.
“Wang Xiao, right?”
Su Qingmo leaned over and probed with a strange expression, “Tell me, did you see it just now?”
“I was just guessing.”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly. “Perhaps I’m more talented?”
Su Qingmo snorted in disbelief. However, before she could ask again, the battle in the distance started again!
The [Undead Swordsman] rushed out of the ground and flipped its hand to attack the [Eight-Armed Vajra] again. However, the [Eight-Armed Vajra] seemed to be a little distracted and actually did not wave its hand to block immediately!
When the [Eight Armed Vajra] returned to its senses, the dazzling cross sword slash had already arrived in front of it. Then, under everyone’s exclamations, it instantly entered its chest!
Slash!
With the soft sound of a sharp blade entering flesh, a cross-shaped wound slowly split open on the chest of the [Eight-Armed Vajra], and scarlet blood sprayed out like a fountain!
