Chapter 232: Chapter 232
After saying this, Su Yan turned to leave. Just then, a group of people from the Human race suddenly flew over from Old Shu’s direction, shouting at it,
"Fiendish tree, get out of the outskirts of Jingdou City!"
The one who spoke was a woman who appeared to be a young matron. She was riding on a young man who was Airwalking, and she yelled at Old Shu before her.
Su Yan was quite surprised by this. One, two, three... eight! Counting the woman riding on someone else, there were a total of eight Airwalking members of the Human race.
What did this mean?Eight Evolution Strongmen, each at least in the Legendary Level Category!Old Shu was finished!With so many powerhouses, they could beat it to death by taking turns, leaving it no chance to resist.
Seeing so many powerhouses arrive, Old Shu wasn’t panicked at all; in fact, it was slightly excited. As a radical Demonic Plant, daring to reveal itself outside Jingdou City meant it naturally had sufficient trump cards. It was prepared to eliminate this group of people before it, leaving none alive, intending to slaughter them all soon!With this in mind, Old Shu wanted to utter some intimidating words to boost its own prestige.
However, just as it opened its mouth, before a single word could be uttered, a figure suddenly darted out from a nearby bush. This figure was Ye Xiaosu, the one who had fled first earlier. He currently had a female student under each arm and was rushing towards the group of Human race powerhouses, clearly intending to join them.
As he sprinted, he shouted, "Dean Bai, I’m Ye Xiaosu!"
"Eh, Ye Xiaosu?" The charming, mature woman riding on the young man looked surprised, clearly not expecting to encounter Ye Xiaosu here.
Su Yan, observing secretly from nearby, was rendered somewhat speechless by the scene. He really hadn’t expected this.This fellow, a dignified Half-Step Epic Level Creature, had been cowering in the bushes the entire time, too afraid to emerge—more cowardly than a turtle.As an Evolution Strongman, shouldn’t he at least have come out to fight Old Shu?Whether he could win or not was a separate issue; he was truly a coward.Seeing Ye Xiaosu suddenly pop out from the bushes, Su Yan scoffed internally, condemning him for not having fought Old Shu alongside him earlier.
"WHIZZ!" A sound of something slicing through the air suddenly arose. Su Yan looked up to see a massive vine lashing out towards Ye Xiaosu. It was Old Shu attacking Ye Xiaosu!
"Fiendish tree, you court death!" Dean Bai was furious, feeling her authority had been challenged. She then ordered the surrounding Evolution Strongmen, "All of you, attack it together! Swarm it!"
The surrounding people heard the command and unleashed their auras, charging towards Old Shu like meteors.
Faced with the group assault, Old Shu couldn’t help but laugh. It had long anticipated that powerhouses would be drawn by the commotion; this was precisely its plan.First, kill the top scholar of Nanjiang Province.Second, kill a batch of Jingdou’s powerhouses.
"Flower God, it’s time to act."
As Old Shu’s words fell, the ground began to shake violently in the next moment. Countless plant shoots erupted from the earth, rapidly growing, blooming, and evolving into Man-eating flowers.
"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR..."
Instantly, the roars of countless Man-eating flowers echoed, making the very ground tremble.
However, the strange transformation was not yet over! Accompanied by an even more violent tremor, a beautiful yet demonic Red Spider Lily burst forth from deep underground. Then, in the following two seconds, it instantly matured into a towering Da Hua, its size rivaling the cloud-piercing Old Shu beside it.
With a tremendous roar, the great battle erupted, both sides launching explosive attacks! The ensuing battle was so intense it seemed to make mountains crumble and the earth shake; the scene was terrifying to behold.
"Sir, stop watching! We need to run!" With so many high-level Evolved Beings battling, Jiu Li feared being caught in the crossfire and immediately urged Su Yan, who seemed keen on watching the spectacle, to flee.
Su Yan glared at her. "We both have multiple lives. Why the hell would we run? Obviously, we stay and wait to pick up scraps!"
That seemed somewhat logical... Jiu Li had barely formed this thought before she quickly dismissed it. That dense fellow dares to watch because his Creature Level has already reached the Legendary Level Category, and he has multiple lives as a safeguard.And what about her?At best, she was just a Half-Step Rare Level Fox Demon. In this great battle, she wouldn’t even count as cannon fodder; no matter how many lives she had, they would be forfeit.Forget it! If I die, I die! Adhering to the principle that ’the timid starve while the bold gorge themselves,’ Jiu Li decided to risk it all.
「Five minutes later...」
"Damn it, run! We can’t beat them!" Following Ye Xiaosu’s cry, the Human race forces suffered a crushing defeat, instantly scattering like rats before the husks of Flower God and Tree Elder.
"I’d like to see who dares to run!" Dean Bai shouted, halting those attempting to flee. She then yelled, "This flower and tree before us are merely the husks of Flower God and Tree Elder! As long as we destroy the Divine Senses contained in their flower cores and tree trunks, we can easily defeat them. Why are you running?"
At this point, Dean Bai was about to explode with anger at these students. Back at the academy, they always lorded their seniority over the junior students, acting imperious and looking down on everyone as if they were invincible. But now, facing a Demonic Plant, they became utterly timid. The moment things looked unfavorable, their first thought was to tuck tail and run.
"Dean Bai, since you knew their husks had such a weakness, why didn’t you tell us sooner?!"
