Chapter 277 I Don’t Care Who You Are
Clang, Clang…
Locking the masked man with the nine-star chains, Han Fei smiled and cut the masked man crazily with a Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Dagger. The masked man was almost crying. He could not perform any counterattack at all. The defensive barriers in his body were full of cracks. If it went on like this, he would be killed.
“Ah… Han Fei, you should be dead!”
The masked man had stabbed Han Fei’s abdomen twice, but Han Fei simply ignored it as if he were crazy. The masked man shouted in fear, “Han Fei, I’m from the Sun family of the Thousand Star City. You can’t kill me, or even the Fourth Academy can’t protect you!”
Yet, Han Fei turned a deaf ear to it and merely continued slashing, determined to slash whatever barrier inside the man into pieces with his incessant spiritual energy.
Crack!
The masked man was panicked. “Han Fei, the Sun family will not let go of you… Han Fei…”
“You’re too noisy!” “Puchi…”
Han Fei stabbed through the masked man’s heart, putting an end to his life.
A moment later, Han Fei canceled fusion and sat weakly on the ground. He hurried to perform the Divine Healing Technique on himself.
This masked man’s strength was completely beyond his expectation. Though the power that the man acquired was not steady, the man was still as strong as a Dangling Fisher after the enhancement.
If he had not protected his chest with the Water-Stirring Seal Technique, if the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp and Little Gold were not attached to him, and if he hadn’t practiced the 108 Spirit-Absorbing War Bodies, it was possible that he might’ve been killed.
After taking a brief rest, Han Fei dared not to stay any longer. He searched the masked man with his heavy body, only to find that the token of “Jail” was gone.
He was delighted after he found a Sea Swallowing Seashell from the guy.
Scanning the Sea Swallowing Seashell, Han Fei realized that it had a coverage of around a hundred square meters. Having no time to examine it further, he simply extracted the Fiery Mountain Tokens and the Jail Token.
He was surprised to see that the guy had looted 29 Fiery Mountain Tokens.
Collecting the masked man’s Sea Swallowing Seashell, Han Fei looked back and thought to himself, You asked me not to kill you? Would you have let me go if I spared you? You were just being silly…
The moment the masked man was killed, a middle-aged man slapped his desk and walked out of the Thousand Star City in one step.
Han Fei immediately retreated at full speed. He did not stop at all except when he took a few breaths in the Bubble Algae.
By the time Han Fei returned, the place where the rest of his team was had been messed up. Zhang Xuanyu was lying on the ground and panting hard clinging to Luo Xiaobai’s vines.
Le Renkuang was fully covered with blood, with dozens of wounds. He was panting next to the vines too.
Xia Xiaochan’s hair was messy. She was standing on a rock, but Han Fei could see that her hands were shaking. She must’ve been exhausted.
Luo Xiaobai had woken up, but she was terribly wounded too.
Seeing that Han Fei was back, Xia Xiaochan was greatly relieved and she sat on the rock.
Without a word, Han Fei immediately healed everyone.
Seeing that Han Fei was pale and short of breath, with blood flowing out of his body now and then, Xia Xiaochan rose and asked, “How are you? Are you hurt?”.
Han Fei was relieved to see that everybody was fine. He cast the Divine Healing Technique on himself and said, “That jerk hid his capabilities.”
Xia Xiaochan asked, “Is that jerk dead?”
Han Fei replied quickly, “He is. But the guy is very strong. He’s from the Thousand Star City.”
Immediately, his teammates changed their expression.
Luo Xiaobai frowned. “Not good. Let’s find an exit and get out of the Fiery Mountain as soon as possible.”
While performing the Divine Healing Technique on them, Han Fei asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? It’s only the sixth day, isn’t it?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “If he’s really from the Thousand Star City like you said, this guy must’ve sneaked into the Fiery Mountain for a certain purpose, the city folk would never normally go to a small town like the Blue Sea Town. Maybe, the guy came with more than one person.”
Han Fei found Luo Xiaobai’s tone weird. He was curious why she knew of the Thousand Star City so well. Was she from the Thousand Star City too?
Before Han Fei had the time to think, Le Renkuang said, “Let’s hurry up! We’ve got the greatest treasure of this place. It’s time to go.”
Zhang Xuanyu said lazily, “What’s the rush? This is a secret realm. What are you scared of? That someone will attack us?”
Luo Xiaobai said, “Let’s take a rest and break through the circle of the silver fish. In any case, we can’t stay long here.”
Han Fei sat down too. He was too exhausted just now. He might’ve been defeated by that guy if he weren’t capable of so many skills. The guy’s sword, in particular, was extraordinary enough to break his Water-Stirring Seal.
Seeing their misery, Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Where is Li Hanyi’s team?”
Le Renkuang grunted, “The three of us reached a tie with them. But be careful about Lin Shengmu, he’s a really vicious man.”
Zhang Xuanyu said, “Rest assured, they can’t be any better than us. Zhong Yue lost one hand because of Xia Xiaochan, and Su Yebai and Lin Shengmu were terribly wounded… However, that Xiang Zuozuo is really tough. Le Renkuang and I almost failed to stop her when she was on a rampage.”
Han Fei slightly nodded. He had known of Xiang Zuozuo’s strength after the first battle with her. However, since those people were really bold enough to attack his team, he was determined to get back at them when he saw them again.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Let’s gather our Fiery Mountain Tokens and see how many we’ve got.”
Han Fei said, “I just acquired 29 pieces from the masked man. Plus what we had before, it should be 140 in total. Did you find any more just now?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “No.”
A moment later, it was confirmed that they had 140 tokens in total.
Luo Xiaobai said, “There’s no need to rob anyone now. Let’s go out!” Le Renkuang asked in a hurry, “Can we secure the top five places?” Luo Xiaobai said quickly, “We only need to be in the top ten. On average, we each have 28 tokens, which is a lot. Besides, a lot of people died in the secret realm. Their Fiery Mountain Tokens either fell into the magma or disappeared. So all in all, half of all the Fiery Mountain Tokens are under our control.”
After an hour later, everybody was finally basically recovered, and Luo Xiaobai, who was relatively more wounded, was supported by Xia Xiaochan.
It was not hard for the five of them to pass the silver fish. After they passed the silver fish, they found a floating gate. They did not intend to look for more treasures, as they had earned a lot from the journey to the Fiery Mountain.
In the outside world, the presidents of the three academies and Xiao Zhan were on their respective boats. However, the three presidents all looked awful, because Xiao Zhan was having hotpot on his boat, and they had to keep a distance from him in order to avoid the smell.
Standing at the head of his boat, Xu Tianji stared at the exit and then asked Xiao Zhan, “Xiao Zhan, are you really not scared that you will repeat your mistake?”
Grabbing a piece of fresh lobster meat, dipping it in the sauce, and sending it to his stomach, Xiao Zhan replied unhurriedly, “Scared? Is the Thug Academy ever scared?”
Chu Mengxue asked, “Xiao Zhan, where did the Fourth Academy go exactly? Bai Congye has been hiding for thirty years, but you’re still unwilling to reveal where he is now that you’re out again?”
Xiao Zhan’s hands slightly shivered. Then he smiled, “It’s not as complicated as you think. He merely pissed off someone he shouldn’t have.”
Xu Tianji snorted. “That’s bulls*it. Do you really think we’re idiots?”
Xiao Zhan did not say anything else, because he didn’t care if they believed it or not.
When the presidents were about to ask further questions, the exit slightly trembled.
Wu Junwei shouted, “Somebody is coming out!”
Chu Mengxue was surprised. “It’s only the sixth day, and they’re already done?”
BAM!
Five people broke out of the water. Xiao Zhan spotted Luo Xiaobai the moment she came out. She immediately cast her fishing pole to Xiao Zhan’s boat.
The rest of Han Fei’s team released their hooks too and soon landed on their boat.
Xiao Zhan was quite dumbfounded. “Why are you out so soon?”
Luo Xiaobai simply said quickly, “Sir, hurry up. Let’s go back to the town.”
Wu Junwei was angry. “What are you talking about? The trial is not over yet. Why are you so panicked? What have you done down there?”
Xu Tianji asked, “Kids from the Fourth Academy, what did you do?”
The president’s first reaction was that Han Fei’s team killed a lot of people, or they shouldn’t have been so nervous.
Chu Mengxue said, “You’re all wounded. You must’ve fought a lot down there. But rest assured, battles are inevitable in a trial, and we will not punish you.”
Xiao Zhan said too, “Don’t worry. Nobody dares to attack you.”
Luo Xiaobai explained, “No, sir. Someone from the Thousand Star City was among the explorers.” Chu Mengxue’s face immediately changed. She yelled, “Little girl, you must be responsible for what you say.” Han Fei sneered and said, “The Sun family from the Thousand Star City…”
Before Han Fei finished his sentence, an overwhelming power had arrived all of a sudden. The seawater was flowing back, and a person reached from the sky with unparalleled pressure. He was dozens of kilometers away in one second, but then only a hundred meters away in the next.
“Who killed my son?”
