Chapter 490: Counterattack (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The instant the evil-crushing sword reappeared…

The eighteen Giant Lightning Beasts collapsed to the ground, the countless wounds on their bodies spurting black blood. The medium-level demons sheltering beneath their bodies could not dodge in time and were crushed to death by the eighteen giant bodies!

The ancient dragon’s intensified flame destroyed the few remaining high-level demons. Wherever the flame went, cl.u.s.ters of fire completely swallowed them!

The remaining medium-level demons had already been badly injured. Without the shelter of the high-level demons, they could not avoid the Five-Blow-Thunderstruck and in a matter of moments; they were struck dead.

In an instant…

All the demons in the capital inst.i.tute were completely wiped out.

The youths who had personally witnessed everything would remember this legendary scene for the rest of their lives.

The young girl on the flying sword slowly landed. The giant dragon that followed landed behind her. She stepped on the lightning and walked towards the martial arts arena. The smile on her face was unforgettable.

“Feng… Fengyan…” As Liu Ruse looked at Ji Fengyan, her eyes brimmed with tears.

She thought…

that they would certainly die.

“Ji Fengyan! Well done!”

Cheers erupted from the youths and everyone burst into tears.

No one could understand their previous desperation.

Ji Fengyan walked to the entrance of the martial arts arena. Her gaze suddenly fell on a piece of shining and translucent crystal. She vaguely sensed the scent of the kindly inst.i.tute direction. Without a need for further explanation, she already guessed what had happened.

The huge Shield of Light had won the last few moments for everyone present. Without it, by the time she had fought her way back, perhaps… everyone here would already be dead.

The smile on Ji Fengyan’s face disappeared and her expression became completely solemn. She straightened her clothes and respectfully bowed deeply to the crystal.

Smack!

A web of fine cracks suddenly appeared in the crystal which had borne up for so long. In an instant, it exploded and fragments scattered all over the ground. Its dazzling light disappeared.

With the shattering of the crystal, the Shield of Light that had protected everyone for so long also disappeared. At last, there was only a dull and dark crystal left, together with the magic staff that the inst.i.tute director had wielded for a century.

The cheering crowd quietened. This victorious moment did not resolve everything. They could not forget the tutors, fellow students and inst.i.tute director, who had fought to the death and lost their lives on the battlefield to protect them…

A student from the school of sorcery squatted and picked up the useless crystals one by one. The others silently helped and finally, all the crystal fragments were placed in a cloth bag and carefully sealed. They also carefully kept the magic staff that had borne the last wishes of the inst.i.tute director.

They buried the magic staff and crystals in the capital inst.i.tute, to let the n.o.ble inst.i.tute director dwell forever in the inst.i.tute that he loved so deeply.

“It’s not over yet.” Once they had properly settled the inst.i.tute director, Ji Fengyan raised her eyes and looked at the horizon.

“Right now the lightning is stopping the demons outside the inst.i.tute from entering, but this is not a long-term solution. The demons will eventually run out of patience and attack again in force. There are far more demons on the mountain than there are in the inst.i.tute.” Ji Fengyan looked at everyone. Their immature faces showed a determination that had not been evident before.

Every survivor of this bloodbath had been honed in a way that others could never understand.
