Chapter 264 Return from A Rewarding Journey

Chapter 264 Return from A Rewarding Journey

Ying Baiwu had wanted to help. But after seeing this, she put down her Wind King Bow. For a weak chicken like this, be it in a battle of wits or strength, he was inferior to her teacher. Even if her teacher was only using one hand, he would be able to win for sure.

Pak!

Sun Mo caught hold of White Bird while he asked in passing, “Is it painful?”

“Painful your mom!”

Yi Jiamin roared, his expression contorted. Other than pain, he felt even more angry and despondent. He also felt a sensation of helplessness that he didn’t wish to admit.

Sun Mo was a few years younger than him, yet he was already so powerful. In a few more years, Yi Jiamin wouldn’t even hold a candle to Sun Mo.

Yi Jiamin wasn’t even a 1-star great teacher. Honestly speaking, he was just a teacher who taught three years more compared to Sun Mo. How large could his aspiration be?

However, Yi Jiamin did have some capabilities, or he wouldn’t have been recruited by An Xinhui.

Given that Yi Jiamin could dodge Sun Mo’s slash to his vital, he was quite a good seedling. If he calmed down, he might be able to fight evenly against the heavily injured Sun Mo. Sadly, he was too agitated.

Sun Mo was precisely waiting for this. He was currently heavily injured and couldn’t fight for a long time. Hence, he had to get rid of Yi Jiamin quickly.

When facing Yi Jiamin who was unleashing powerful attacks, Sun Mo’s wrist trembled and he executed the Eighteen Words Order.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

The White Bird was used this time around, and it slashed repeatedly toward Yi Jiamin’s arms and chest.

“Sun Mo, didn’t you boast that you can kill me using a wooden blade?”

Yi Jiamin mocked.

“You believe the trash talk of my teacher? Are you a retard?”

Li Ziqi mocked. Actually, she was a virtuous lady and wouldn’t usually use such language. However, in order to make Yi Jiamin lose his rationality, she began to be toxic. Nevertheless, it didn’t feel very good to scold people like that.

“Idiot!”

Sun Mo rolled his eyes. He didn’t catch the longsword earlier because Yi Jiamin might take that chance to attack him. But who would have guessed that this idiot would be so foolish to try and knock the sword away instead of attacking?

But to be fair, in the eyes of the vast majority, a metal sword would have a higher attacking prowess compared to a wooden sword. In a life-and-death battle, wouldn’t one want to swap their wooden weapon for a metal one?

Hence, Yi Jiamin had thought that as long as Sun Mo didn’t catch that longsword, it would be his victory.

This was the disparity in their combat intellect. Let alone a combat genius like Fang Wuan, even Zhang Qianlin wouldn’t do what Yi Jiamin had done by changing his focus to the sword. In his position, they would have hastened their attacks on Sun Mo to force him to step away from the sword.

Yi Jiamin’s combat experience was simply too little. Since there was such an apparent flaw, if Sun Mo didn’t make use of this, he would simply be letting himself down. “Going back on what you said? You are not fit to be a teacher!”

Yi Jiamin coldly mocked. However, he was now panting. Sun Mo’s attacks were simply too fierce.

The eighteen sword attacks all hit their target. Although Yi Jiamin’s vitals weren’t injured, the aching pain from his flesh as well as the wet sensation of bleeding caused him to feel a sense of panic that quickened his heart beat.

This was truly just a step away from death.

“Oh, I will throw it away then!”

Sun Mo casually tossed White Bird away.

“Mn!”

Upon seeing this, Yi Jiamin’s brain turned to glue. Was there some sinister plot behind this action?

Spear Rain Pearflower!

Sun Mo brandished his wooden blade and unleashed Xuanyuan Po’s Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique. Although the might was much weaker since he was using a blade, Sun Mo didn’t intend to use this as a killing move.

What he wanted was for the blade shadows to fill the sky, creating a disturbance effect.

As expected, when Yi Jiamin saw the blade shadows, in addition to Sun Mo tossing away White Bird, he really couldn’t fathom what Sun Mo was thinking about. Hence, he grew frightened. In this hopeless situation, he started to change his attack into defense.

“Cough! Cough!”

Sun Mo suddenly halted. His left hand covered his mouth as his expression turned to pain. Through the gaps of his finger, blood could be seen flowing out. “Teacher!”

The three girls called out in shock.

Upon seeing this, Yi Jiamin laughed uproariously. “Haha, I know you are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Go to hell!”

This made sense. After being so heavily injured, how could Sun Mo still attack so fiercely? He must have forced himself.

Just when Yi Jiamin was preparing to rush out and slash off Sun Mo’s head, an intense pain suddenly erupted from his back. After that, a sword directly pierced through his heart, exiting from his chest.

“H...how?”

Yi Jiamin coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. There was a lack of understanding on his face.

“Because my teacher’s intellect is higher than yours. Idiot!”

Ying Baiwu mocked. She didn’t understand what was going on in Yi Jiamin’s head.

Li Ziqi shook her head. A weakling like this truly wasn’t worthy to be her teacher’s enemy. When Sun Mo encountered Yi Jiamin, he was already simulating the battle in his mind.

Such battles looked to have erupted suddenly, but there was a high possibility of one overturning the situation. Sun Mo had considered many factors. His attacks and trash talk earlier was to divert Yi Jiamin’s attention, drawing his focus away from the clone formed by the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art.

All of this was for that final strike performed by the clone.

“Sorry. The spirit crystals are mine. Little Silver is also mine. Oh ya, Little Silver is a name I’ve given to the eight-gate cloud. How does it sound? It’s very cute, right?” said Sun Mo.

Li Ziqi touched the little loach

“Let me give a proper introduction. This is a spirit qi roaming dragon, a species ranked #36 on the darkness mysterious species list. It is now my junior martial sister’s pet.”

Jiji!

The little loach gave Li Ziqi face as it floated into the air and performed a leap like a carp leaping over the dragon’s gate.

“Y...you...best not be complacent!”

Yi Jiamin’s eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage. “Zhang...Zhang Qianlin would definitely kill you!”

“Zhang Qianlin? Sorry, he has gone to the other world a step earlier than you!” Sun Mo shrugged.

To this colleague who always wanted to find trouble with him, he didn’t show any mercy. By killing Yi Jiamin now, it could be considered as him venting his emotions.

That was why this era was great. If you were unhappy with your colleague, you could simply kill them. “What?”

Yi Jiamin coughed up another mouthful of blood. He directly died from his anger.

“He’s finally dead!”

Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He could no longer endure it and fell forward. He had spoken so many words earlier because he was afraid Yi Jiamin would go all out and drag him to the underworld together.

The wound on his chest opened again and was bleeding.

“How dangerous!”

Li Ziqi also felt lingering fear in her heart. If Yi Jiamin wanted to die together with her teacher, she would surely have to attack. However, given the disparity in their cultivation realms, it would have ended disastrously. “Why don’t you let me shoot him to death?”

Ying Baiwu didn’t understand. She had wanted to help Sun Mo by attacking Yi Jiamin, but she had been stopped by Li Ziqi.

“I’ve never seen your archery skill before, hence, I don’t dare to take the risk!”

The truth had proven that this was indeed the best method.

“What are you guys talking about?”

Lu Zhiruo completely didn’t understand.

“Ziqi, explain to her!”

Sun Mo lay on the ground.

After hearing the simple explanation from the little sunny egg, Lu Zhiruo had a shocked look on her face, and her mouth turned into an ‘o’ shape. (Are you guys the devil? To kill someone, how deeply do you guys have to scheme?)

Lu Zhiruo glanced at Yi Jiamin’s corpse and felt that this fellow didn’t die an unjust death. (Even if my teacher didn’t kill you, my eldest martial sister and junior martial sister wouldn’t let you leave anyway.)

(Speaking of which, I suddenly feel self-inferior. I thought everyone was cheering together for teacher, but after half a day, I’m the only one doing so and you guys are actually thinking about how to help teacher out.)

(Ai, I’m really so foolish.)

“Teacher, do you want to rest a little before we head out?”

Li Ziqi was afraid they might encounter another wave of enemies. If they did, the consequences would be dire.

“I don’t believe my luck is so bad!”

Sun Mo cast a glance at Lu Zhiruo. With this extremely lucky girl, there was no need to be afraid!

Little Silver inhaled a few breaths and transformed into a large bed, floating toward Sun Mo, indicating for him to lie down on it.

“You can do this as well?”

Sun Mo was speechless. But after he lay on it, it was so comfortable that even an expensive top-tier bed made with swan feathers wouldn’t be comparable to it.

Little Silver dragged Sun Mo along with it at a distance of 1-feet above the ground as it floated outside.

“Can you fly a little higher?”

Lu Zhiruo felt a little envious and wanted to climb on it too.

“Just a little bit!”

Little Silver couldn’t withstand a heavy load. Moreover, after carrying Sun Mo, its flying speed became very slow, akin to the speed of a tortoise crawling!

“In any case, this is better compared to walking!”

Sun Mo felt very elated because Little Silver could transform its body freely. A part of its body bulged up, taking the shape of a cushion and allowing Sun Mo’s lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae to have some support. He was lying there comfortably.

“It would be even better if it has a vibration function.”

Sun Mo also wanted a cup of iced tea on top of it.

The road back had no difference from the road leading here. But because they had acquired too many benefits, Sun Mo and the other three felt much more relaxed when they were heading back.

Meow meow meow?

Little Silver felt that its efforts were buried.

They walked out of the gap of the stone wall. Staring at the sunset glow that was covering the sky, Sun Mo felt a feeling as though he was a newborn.

When they got near to the camp, the students there already called out.

“Teacher Jin, they have returned!”

“What’s going on?”

Jin Mujie came over. She had wanted to let her anger shower down on Sun Mo. But after seeing the injuries on his body, her scolding became words of concern. “Who did this to you? Tell me and I will crush them right away!”

“There’s no need. They are already dead!”

Sun Mo apologized when he saw Jin Mujie’s look of concern. “I’m sorry for making you guys worry.”

“Don’t speak anymore!”

Jin Mujie inspected Sun Mo’s injuries and immediately instructed, “Help him into my tent. Bring a pot of hot water, clear soup, and send a signal to tell Xuanyuan Po and the other two rascals that their teacher has returned.”

“They went out of the camp to find me?”

Sun Mo was surprised.

“I wasn’t able to stop them!” Jin Mujie sighed. Sun Mo had always been a very reliable teacher. Hence, his unexpected disappearance made Jin Mujie very nervous. She was worried that he might have encountered danger.

The students had wanted to search for Sun Mo’s tracks, but Jin Mujie forbade it, which had led to Xuanyuan Po and the other two sneaking out of camp. If she didn’t have to take care of this group of students, she would have personally gone out to look for Sun Mo.

There was no solution for this. Although Jin Mujie was worried about him, in the hearts of the teachers, there was an unwritten standard: teachers could die, but students must not be injured.

In the tent, everything was already prepared.

“Okay, you guys can go out now!”

Jin Mujie chased the students away, even Li Ziqi and the other two were driven off. After that, she squatted beside Sun Mo and started taking off his clothes.

“Eh?”

Sun Mo was dumbfounded. What was she doing?
