Conspiracy in Demon Valley
The two men in black were killed, relieving the pressure on the female students. Cooperating with Lu Yunxiao, they managed to eliminate all the black-clad assailants surrounding them.
"School brother Yunxiao, thank you." Several female students panted and expressed their gratitude to Lu Yunxiao.
"Senior sisters, you're okay." Lu Yunxiao nodded, his tone casual.
Several female students smiled, but as they watched the intense battle still raging on, their smiles turned into furrowed brows and worried expressions.
"I wonder where these people came from. Tonight's ambush was clearly premeditated. They only wanted to wipe us out. Unlike previous attacks, those were driven by greed to rob us. But these people are after our lives."
A white-clad female student's eyes gleamed with a murderous intent as she spoke coldly.
"Canaan Academy is situated in the Black Point Region. While it holds great influence, it has offended numerous parties. Even though they dare not confront the Academy openly, there are plenty of clandestine actions against it. They are deliberately seeking revenge against the Academy."
As the voice of the white-clad student fell, a yellow-clad female student took over, her expression equally grim.
"The distress signal has been sent, but we're uncertain when the college's reinforcements will arrive. Given the current situation, although we've mounted a strong counterattack, the enemy already had the upper hand. The battle is still not in our favor."
A purple-clad female student added with a hint of worry in her voice.
The numerous Canaan Guards and academy members were doing their best in battle, but they were still struggling. The academy was clearly at a disadvantage. Over time, sustaining the battle could become increasingly difficult.
"Senior sisters, please remain calm. With the academy's strength, they will surely respond in time. We must fight valiantly and hold out against the enemy. As long as we don't give up, the reinforcements will arrive sooner or later."
Seeing the concern on the faces of the senior female students, Lu Yunxiao couldn't help but offer reassurance. In such dire circumstances, there was only one option: to fight desperately, buy time, and await reinforcements. Survival was the ultimate goal.
"You're right. We must do our best to defeat the enemy." The senior female students sighed and steeled themselves, suppressing their worries.
They all understood that in this situation, fretting was futile. The only course of action was to fight with all their might.
Upon hearing their determination, Lu Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "Senior sisters, let's face this challenge together."
With those words, Lu Yunxiao's Feihong Sword emitted a brilliant cold light as he prepared to continue the battle.
"Absolutely, let's fight together." Several senior female students smiled, and together they charged toward the group of black-clad assailants not far away.
...
The station reverberated with a deafening crash as two spheres of light—one red and one yellow—collided violently, sending sand and dust into the air.
"Cheng Yuanbo, it's really you, you scoundrel! Is Demon Flame Valley planning to wage war against Canaan Academy?"
A female voice full of resentment echoed, followed by a powerful punch from a female fighter of Canaan College, imbued with earth-yellow vindictive energy and immense strength.
"So what if we are? Zhang Yuyan, do you think Demon Valley is afraid of Canaan Academy?"
"Today, we're going to annihilate all the students of Canaan Academy here. This is a bitter lesson for you, so you understand the consequences of opposing Demon Valley."
Cheng Yuanbo displayed no fear, his hand radiating crimson vindictive energy as he met Zhang Yuyan's attack head-on.
Demon Flame Valley was a seasoned force in the Blackhorn Region, and they had long-standing enmity with Canaan Academy. This surprise attack was meant to avenge their grievances.
Their fists collided, creating shockwaves that scattered the surrounding air. Zhang Yuyan continuously unleashed her fists in a rapid sequence.
"A bunch of rats resorting to such low tactics. If you have the guts, confront Canaan Academy openly."
Zhang Yuyan forced Cheng Yuanbo back with each blow, her voice resolute.
"Warfare is not about principles, only results matter. Zhang Yuyan, you're still naive."
Cheng Yuanbo retorted, parrying Zhang Yuyan's punches one after another.
In terms of influence, Demon Flame Valley couldn't compare to Canaan Academy, so they couldn't confront the Academy directly without outside assistance. Moreover, Canaan Academy had a mysterious dean, an immensely powerful figure that even Cheng Yuanbo's Valley Master held in awe.
Thus, their only option was a surprise attack, aiming to undermine Canaan Academy's reputation. If the students were to be massacred, the Academy's name would certainly be tarnished—a goal that Demon Flame Valley aimed to achieve.
"Damn it!" Zhang Yuyan was no fool; she understood the insidious plan behind Demon Flame Valley's actions. Her punches grew even more ferocious.
Cheng Yuanbo blocked her strikes methodically, their battle creating a storm within the encampment.
...
"Die!" Lu Yunxiao thrust his sword forward, the Feihong Sword gleaming with a chilling light as it impaled another black-clad assailant through the chest, ending his life.
"Thank you for your assistance." Beside Lu Yunxiao, a freshman spoke, gratitude evident in his expression. Had Lu Yunxiao not arrived in time, he would likely have perished.
"You're welcome... Oh, it's you!" Lu Yunxiao's voice trailed off as he recognized the faces before him. This individual, aside from himself, was the only freshman from Mocheng with a D-level evaluation and a one-star fighter.
"Yes, it's me. My name is Zhang Yun, and I'm also from Mocheng," the freshman introduced himself quickly.
"I remember you. You're from Mocheng," Lu Yunxiao nodded, his tone softening slightly. As someone else from Mocheng, he felt a connection to Zhang Yun.
"The situation here is perilous. You should return to the group of new students. It'll be safer for you there," Lu Yunxiao advised quietly.
"No, I'm a fighter too. I can help," Zhang Yun insisted.
Lu Yunxiao was taken aback by Zhang Yun's determination. It seemed Zhang Yun had a decent level of fighting spirit, which earned Lu Yunxiao's respect.
"Then take care. I need to rejoin the battle." Lu Yunxiao offered a quick farewell before hurrying back to the ongoing fight. Amidst the chaos, fighting was their top priority.
Observing Lu Yunxiao's retreating figure, Zhang Yun's eyes filled with admiration. Although younger, Lu Yunxiao's strength was truly impressive, earning him Zhang Yun's respect.
Zhang Yun tightened his grip on his weapon, a knife, and charged at a black-clad assailant with determination.
