Chapter 796 - Stand Out

Chapter 796: Stand Out

Everyone was still recovering from the shock that Hu Qingsong could improve his strength even when he had damaged Dantian. Meanwhile, a man and a young woman in student uniforms walked out of the crowd. They headed slowly toward Hu Qingsong.

The man had a fair-skinned face, deep-set dark eyes, and a high nose bridge. He was handsome, but his demeanor was so intimidating that no one dared to approach him. The young teenage girl was holding a small red umbrella. The skin of her hands was as smooth as jade. Her almond-shaped eyes were as bright as stars. Her slightly turned-up nose sets nicely on her pretty heart-shaped face. She was slim, delicate, and she looked otherworldly.

The man and woman calmly walked up to Hu Qingsong as if no one was around.

Zheng Feihan and Chen Junbin’s pupils widened in fear when they saw the two faces looking at Hu Qingsong. Exchanging a look, they shouted in unison, “It is them. They are the ones who beat us up!”

What?’

So it turned out to be these two people?

The surrounding students were all stunned. They had searched all over the city but had not been able to find them, so they did not expect these two to come knocking on their door. They were even wearing student uniforms of the academy, indicating that they had been hiding there. No wonder they could not find them, no matter how hard they searched.

Elder Zheng narrowed his eyes. His malevolent eyes were filled with wrath as they fell on Xiao Luo and Ghost.

Hu Qingsong looked at the two people standing in front of him in astonishment and laughed wryly. “You guys… What are you up to now?”

There was deep anxiety in his voice. It was nothing short of suicide for them to reveal themselves. Zheng Haishi was in a rage and he did not know what terrible thing he would do next.

“Brother Xiao, Miss Ghost…”

Luo Jinshi’s eyes widened in confusion.

Xiao Luo glanced at Ghost, who was standing next to him. “She said she wanted to save you!”

Xiao Luo was not from this world and was only here for the matter pertaining to the Light Clan. He avoided many things and did not choose to get involved unless absolutely necessary. But in the end, he couldn’t endure the pleading of Ghost, and they came out of hiding.

Ghost nodded her head like a chick pecking rice. Her almond-shaped eyes stared at Hu Qingsong’s blood-covered body as it swallowed its saliva involuntarily.

“Save us?”

Hu Qingsong smiled bitterly. “There are 25 elders in the Mu City Academy. Every elder has the cultivation of a Martial Lord. Including the dean, there are a total of 26 Martial Lords and over 200 instructors at the level of Martial Spirits and Martial Lords. How are you going to save us? I was willing to die rather than tell them your whereabouts, but you come out on your own. This… ahh.”

At the end of his sentence, he swallowed his words and heaved a sigh. They had voluntarily walked into the jaws of death. How could he save them now?

“Hu Qingsong, Xiao Luo is more powerful than you think. You will be fine. I will let you down now!” Ghost shook her head and suppressed her bloodthirsty nature. Then, she went forward to untie Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi.

No one tried to stop them, and no one said anything. It was as if Hu Qingsong and Luo Jinshi were no longer important. What mattered now was Xiao Luo and Ghost.

“Cough, cough…”

Hu Qingsong coughed and fell to the ground.

However, Ghost immediately helped him up. Seeing this, Alinda quickly ran up and took over the spirit’s position to support Hu Qingsong, and asked, “Are you the ones who thrashed Zheng Feihan and Chen Junbin?”

“That’s right. They were despicable and deserve to be beaten!” Ghost admitted generously.

When she determined it was them, hostility emerged in Ai Linda’s eyes. “Idiot, you don’t even know that you’ve committed a serious crime and almost caused Qingsong to lose his life. How can you still be so calm?”

The ghost gave her a puzzled look and stared at her.

“Ai Linda, this has nothing to do with them. It was all caused by Zheng Haishi, who was rude and unreasonable. They were just unwilling to give in to the abuse of Zheng Haishi’s subordinates. What’s wrong with that?”

Hu Qingsong stared at Elder Zheng with hatred as he spoke. He initially acted in self-preservation and did not want to choose any sides. However, Elder Zheng had gone too far. Therefore, the emotions that he had been suppressing erupted like a volcano and he was determined to use his strength to resist Elder Zheng’s power.

Reckless and unreasonable? Abuse?

These words made Elder Zheng’s face turn dark with rage. He gritted his teeth as his eyes narrowed eyes with killing intent, and said, “Hu Qingsong, I think you’re tired of living. In that case, I’ll fulfill your wish!”

The whip in Elder Zheng’s hand was suddenly charged with True Inner Force, piercing the air with an energy that made everyone’s scalp tingle. He ruthlessly lashed the whip at Hu Qingsong’s head. , Already injured and covered in blood, Hu Qingsong was in no position to withstand the blow. Likely, even a single lash would split open Hu Qingsong’s skull, revealing his brain matter.

“No!”

Ai Linda screamed. The whip came down so quickly that she had no time to think and instantly pushed away Hu Qingsong, placing herself in harm’s way. Her pupils dilated as she saw the whip coming towards her, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to rip through her body. She knew she could in no way avoid it.

However, she waited for a long time for the whip to strike, but the searing pain she expected never came.

What was going on?

Could it be that Elder Zheng has shown mercy?

She carefully opened her eyes, and what she saw stunned her. The whip in Elder Zheng’s hand, rippling with his True Inner Force, was caught by the youth that Qingsong had risked his life to protect. How was this possible?

It was not only Ai Linda who was shocked but all the surrounding students too. Elder Zheng was a high-level Martial Lord. Even an ordinary whip in Elder Zheng’s hand was devastating, not to mention one condensed with his True Inner Force. Not anyone could face up to his whip, let alone grabbed it with his bare hand.

Elder Zheng looked at Xiao Luo with an uncertain expression before he sneered, “Brat, you have some skills, indeed!”

“Hmph!”

Xiao Luo let out a disdainful snort. He exerted a bit of strength with his hands, and with a sound like glass shattering, the whip imbued with Elder Zheng’s True Inner Force disintegrated and dissipated into thin air. Elder Zheng felt a powerful force and couldn’t help but stagger back two steps.

“How did he do that? He just destroyed Elder Zheng’s True Inner Force whip with his bare hand!”

“How is it possible? Who is he?”

“He looks only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but his attainment is profound and unfathomable.”

“It is no wonder that he defeated Brother Bin. What a man who keeps his own counsel!”

“Elder Zheng underestimated him and even suffered some minor injuries.”

It utterly surprised the disciples who stood watching.

Hu Qingsong, Luo Jinshi, and Ai Linda looked at Xiao Luo in bewilderment. They could hardly believe Xiao Luo had destroyed Elder Zheng’s whip simply by grasping it with a bare hand.
