章節 25: Liu Changqing Shocked
編輯: Dragon Boat Translation
At the moment when the wind blew toward him, Lu Huai's pupils suddenly shrank, and the time around him seemed to slow down.
No, it did not actually slow down. It was just that Lu Huai's attention had reached its peak.
The attack of the demonic beast in front of him made Lu Huai feel an unprecedented sense of danger.
His brain was working rapidly, thinking of a feasible solution to his current situation.
With his current ability, he could not retreat quickly.
Even if he did retreat, that would only end up causing the railcar to be affected as well.
His only option was...
The supplementary ability of the body tempering art!
Almost instantly, large amounts of steam burst out from Lu Huai's body, and Lu Huai became shrouded in it.
Thunk!
The strong wind suddenly stopped.
Then, the wind pressure at a certain place in the center weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The three-legged black eagle's eyes were still filled with confidence at this moment. It did not believe that a mere child would be able to defend himself against its attack. But then, that confidence quickly turned into shock.
"Evil creature! Accept your death!"
Lightning surged and rushed toward the three-legged black eagle with an electrifying might.
The three-legged black eagle did not even have time to put up any defenses before it was forced to cry out in pain.
Its entire back was charred black, and it now looked extremely miserable.
"Damn it...!"
"I've succeeded, bee! Retreat!"
The three-legged black eagle flapped its wings and quickly flew away from this place.
The beast tide also scattered soon after, and the sky returned to its original clear state.
The people in the railcar looked at this scene in a daze.
They had clearly seen the terrifying demonic beast's attack hit Lu Huai.
However, Lu Huai's entire body seemed to have been set on fire, and he launched a powerful attack in return.
Then, Liu Changqing came.
After that, the demonic beasts retreated.
"Are we... safe?"
Liao An muttered in a daze.
Long Sheng was the first to react. He heaved a sigh of relief, and then his eyes were filled with elation.
"The beast tide has ended! Lu Huai saved us!"
"Is he the young man who just rushed out? He's too amazing!"
"We survived!"
"..."
The passengers inside the railcar cabins cheered.
Lin Xiaomeng looked at Lu Huai, who was half-kneeling not far away, with a complicated expression.
Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She had thought that Lu Huai was only slightly stronger than her.
After all, she was an S-grade genius.
But now, it seemed that she was nothing compared to Lu Huai.
At the very least, she did not have any experience in fighting demonic beasts.
As for Lu Huai, he was already able to kill demonic masters and fight against demonic venerables!
Lin Xiaomeng looked at Lu Huai with a hint of envy in her eyes.
But more than that, her eyes held respect for him!
The wounded veterans who survived the battle silently helped their comrades up.
They turned around and looked at the demonic beast horde where some of the broken limbs of their companions were at.
The rest of it had already entered the stomachs of the demonic beasts.
The old soldiers supported each other and slowly walked toward Lu Huai.
Liu Changqing gritted his teeth and looked at the escaping three-legged black eagle, but he did not choose to pursue it.
He quickly landed on the ground and flew toward the figure on the ground.
"Lu Huai!"
Liu Changqing held onto Lu Huai, who had fallen to the ground. He wanted to scold Lu Huai for leaving the railcar, but when he saw Lu Huai's pale face, he felt nothing more than panic.
Those two demonic venerables came here for Lu Huai!
Since Lu Huai received a direct attack from a demonic venerable, he's definitely not in a good state.
"Cough, cough!"
While he was still worried about Lu Huai's safety, Lu Huai suddenly coughed twice, bringing Liu Changqing back from his thoughts.
"Lu Huai, you're fine!"
Liu Changqing's heart suddenly felt a lot more settled.
Then, a trace of doubt gradually emerged in his heart.
Could it be that the reinforcements had arrived? Otherwise, how could Lu Huai be safe and sound despite the demonic venerable's attack?
"I'm fine. I'm just a little exhausted."
Lu Huai stood up from Liu Changqing's arms.
At this moment, he still had some lingering fear in his heart.
If he had not reacted quickly and used the supplementary ability of the body tempering art to greatly weaken the three-legged black eagle's attack, he would not have been able to keep his life.
If the full brunt of that strong wind had reached his body, he would definitely have been split apart into thousands of pieces.
Even so, the weakened wind still dealt great damage to him.
His entire body was in pain, but fortunately, he was not gravely injured.
"Who saved you just now?"
Liu Changqing looked around and saw that the demonic beasts had all retreated.
However, he did not see any signs of reinforcements.
Other than the strange corpses of demonic beasts on the ground...
"Lord." A few of the surviving veterans came over, and one of them, who was still in relatively good condition, said, "No one saved us."
Liu Changqing frowned, "No one saved you? Then what's with all these demonic beast corpses? How did you resolve the demonic venerable's attack?"
The few veterans looked at each other and then said in unison, "It's because this little brother's doing!"
Liu Changqing subconsciously looked at Lu Huai whose face was pale.
There were no signs of reinforcements in the surroundings, and so many demonic beasts had died.
It was impossible for these veterans to give credit to Lu Huai if he had not done anything.
And...
It was only then that Liu Changqing felt a familiar suffocating feeling in the air.
It was the fluctuation that was left behind from when Lu Huai used his innate martial skill.
And the fluctuation this time was even more powerful.
As he thought about it more and more, Liu Changqing's face slowly revealed a look of shock.
In the sky, a woman in armor holding a silver scimitar swooped down.
In her hand, there was a ferocious head with a pair of feelers.
It was the purple lightning cloud bee that had been struck by Liu Changqing's attack.
"Dean Liu, it seems that we've come late."
"Is the new student doing well?"
The valiant woman's body was still surging with an extremely powerful aura. She was a martial venerable.
As a martial venerable, she had come to help and killed the severely injured demonic venerable.
However, she did not notice that the beast tide had already dispersed.
"He's fine. Thank you for your help, Martial Venerable Luo."
Liu Changqing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the lady who had come.
Luo Shui was a martial venerable and extremely powerful. She was probably not much weaker than him. With her having come, the crisis this time could be considered to have been resolved.
"Where's that new student of your Heavenly Divine Academy?"
"I heard that he's a genius with a gradeless talent. Can you introduce me to him?"
When Liu Changqing heard this, he subconsciously pointed at Lu Huai.
The young man was covered in blood. He straightened his back and had an imposing aura.
Hm?
"Dean Liu, there's no need to hide the truth." Luo Shui's brows furrowed.
"Isn't this a martial master that you brought here?"
"I want to see that student."
When she was chasing after the purple lightning cloud bee in the sky, she felt a strong fluctuation below.
She had clearly seen that this young man was a martial master, but he had released a powerful martial skill that was barely enough to compete with a martial venerable.
She thus instinctively thought that this was a student who had come with Liu Changqing.
Nevertheless, she did not care about some random peak-stage martial master.
As such, Liu Changqing's attitude made her unhappy.
She had come all the way here just to catch a glimpse of the legendary gradeless genius.
Luo Shui had already made some assumptions in her mind.
The gradeless genius had only been awakened for less than a month, so she believed that he had probably only just reached the martial apprentice realm.
