Bone-Softening Gentle Breeze

"We must stall for time until Spirit Transformation experts from other regions arrive."

He took a deep breath, then resolutely charged towards the 100,000 Demon Beast.

Chapter 146 Bone-Softening Gentle Breeze

"Don't panic, don't rush. Just like the day before yesterday, everyone enter the shelter in an orderly manner. Don't act on your own, and don't try to fight the Demon Beast. Leave everything to the teacher."

After the highest alert was sounded, although many people suspected it was an accident, since according to the pattern of previous years, there would be a two-year safe period after a monster tide, once they saw the Demon Beast, they no longer had any doubts.

Last time, after all the students entered the shelter, the Demon Beast finally appeared. Therefore, everyone could make orderly arrangements, letting the students who were not good at fighting stay obediently in the center of the shelter, and letting the students who were good at fighting maintain the defense line at the door. If the students were unwilling, they would not be forced. The teachers were also divided into two roles according to their strength: taking the initiative to attack and guarding the defense line.

Unfortunately, this time the students hadn't even left the classroom when the Demon Beast rushed into the school. There was no way to arrange the tasks peacefully. Some timid girls screamed in fright, spreading their panic. The ear-piercing noise made the other students even more agitated.

To maintain order, everyone must remain calm and fulfill their duties; to disrupt order, a few individuals can easily spread chaos by acting recklessly.

When a student with weak willpower starts shouting and running through the crowd, it's like toppling dominoes, quickly infecting other students with weak willpower who are still managing to maintain order, causing them to panic as well. And these students, in turn, infect those with moderate willpower who didn't intend to disrupt the order...

Even though everyone knows that walking step by step is more efficient than pushing and shoving while running, when a crisis really comes, all rationality and calmness are thrown aside. Regardless of whether the situation is safe or dangerous, people just run forward first. Even the smartest person, once panicked, will have their mind go blank and their IQ will drop by half.

The teaching building quickly descended into chaos, with students scrambling to escape through the corridors. Fortunately, everyone possessed martial arts skills, so they could simply use their lightness skills to jump off the building, preventing a stampede.

The teachers, skilled and daring, quickly calmed down and immediately split into two groups: one group went to stop the Demon Beast, while the other group used sonic powers to guide the students and maintain order as much as possible.

At the school gate, powerful energy surged, and blood splattered like a fountain. Teachers fought fiercely with the Demon Beast, their swords flashing and shadows dancing. With their extraordinary cultivation, they stood firm at the front, blocking nine-tenths of the Demon Beast and reducing the number of invaders, thus buying time for the students.

At this moment, they had no time to conserve their True Qi, and they all unleashed their full power. Every move they made carried immense force, causing strong winds to howl, as if walls were crashing down on them, leaving the Demon Beast with bloodied heads and severed limbs flying everywhere.

Knock knock knock!

Suddenly, a heavy thud echoed across the ground ahead. A giant wild boar, three meters tall and covered in a thick layer of mud, charged toward the school gate. It paid no heed to its kind, and along the way, the Demon Beast that couldn't get out of the way were either knocked away or trampled to death.

"Stop it! Don't let it rush over!"

The teachers were extremely anxious. Judging from the overwhelming power the opponent displayed, even if they could kill it with their palm strikes, they probably wouldn't be able to stop it. Once the defense line was breached, it would be difficult to regroup.

Just then, a fat figure leaped down from a distant teaching building, spreading its arms and gliding through the air for a distance, looking like a clumsy flying bear, before finally landing on a street lamp.

The newcomer pushed off with all his might, bending the lamp head under his foot. Using the force, he soared into the air, performing a ninety-degree flip in mid-air, displaying an agility disproportionate to his size. In the instant his body was headfirst, the surrounding airflow converged towards his palm, vaguely condensing into a ball of air.

"Earth-Shattering and Heaven-Stunning Primordial Unity Palm!"

With a powerful palm strike, the surrounding air parted as if a thunderclap had suddenly erupted. The immense palm force descended from the sky like Mount Tai pressing down, crashing into the horde of Demon Beast crushing them into a bloody pulp within a radius of thirty meters.

With a loud "bang," like a baseball being hit by a bat, the huge wild boar was sent flying, crashing into the road and creating a large crater. Its two front legs were broken off, and its body, covered in thick mud, was covered in cracks. Black blood flowed from the wounds, and its body convulsed continuously, making "plop plop plop" sounds from its anus.

"Headmaster!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, the group immediately felt reassured and showed expressions of relief.

"Sorry, we were delayed on the way to rescue people. Director Murong went to the back gate. We just need to hold the front. Hold on for another five minutes, and then we can retreat into the school, tighten our defenses, and concentrate our forces," the principal immediately ordered.

With a clear time limit, everyone felt a sense of relief. Although most of these Demon Beasts were low-level Livestock Grade and Monster Grade, which were not difficult to deal with, their endless numbers still made their scalps tingle. They dared not even breathe loudly, for fear that their mistakes would drag down their companions.

Those who understand formations should form the Six Harmonies Formation; those who don't should find a partner to cooperate with each other and avoid fighting alone.

Under the principal's command, twelve teachers who knew formations formed two Six Harmonies Formation, standing at the forefront, while the other teachers were responsible for filling in any gaps.

A simple change in position improved the situation considerably. Even the twelve people at the front felt that the threat posed by the Demon Beast was much lighter than before, with companions protecting them on both sides and no need to worry about being attacked from behind.

Four minutes passed quickly. Just as the principal was about to instruct everyone to retreat in an orderly manner, the twelve people who had formed the formation suddenly felt their internal True Qi stagnate. It became uncontrollable and they could not activate it, causing their abilities to plummet.

One teacher struck a unicorn deer with his palm, but due to the loss of his True Qi, he failed to repel it and was instead pierced through the chest by its sharp antlers, instantly becoming critically injured. The other teachers suffered similar fates, all being injured and forced to retreat, no longer able to maintain the formation.

"Help! Teacher Xu isn't injured in the heart!"

"It's poison! Someone has poisoned us!"

"This is Bone-Softening Gentle Breeze that can dissipate True Qi; it's a gaseous poison. Everyone, hold your breath and don't inhale."

"Who on earth would do such an outrageous thing, actually aiding and abetting a demon!"

Given the intelligence of Demon Beast, it's impossible for them to know how to make poison; the Bone-Softening Gentle Breeze must be a human creation.

The crowd could hardly imagine how utterly depraved the murderer was. Even the most heinous villains would choose to unite against Demon Beast, because humans and Demon Beast cannot coexist. This is a matter of principle, even more important than the stance of the nation or the people.

Once hit by the Bone-Softening Gentle Breeze, those with Internal Energy Level Eight are unable to activate it, while those above level eight can activate a portion of their Internal Cultivation. However, among the many teachers present, only a handful were above level eight.

"Forget about the murderer. Medical teachers, prepare the antidote first. Teachers who can't activate their Internal Cultivation, retreat immediately. Teachers with spare strength, help protect the area. I'll hold them off here."

As the strongest cultivator present, the principal, who possessed Internal Cultivation Level Eleven, mobilized his True Qi and resolutely rushed towards the school gate. He condensed his strength in both palms to form a wall of energy, blocking the charging demonic Demon Beast. His eyes already showed the resolve to sacrifice himself.

"Headmaster..."

Everyone saw the principal's determination to die, and they were both moved and heartbroken.

Several teachers who could still channel their Internal Cultivation opened their mouths, but couldn't bring themselves to say they wanted to stay. It wasn't that they were afraid of dying, but that staying would only make them a burden, unable to help in the slightest. Only a decorative female character in a TV drama would shout lines like "I'm not leaving!" or "We'll die together!" when a powerful enemy is chasing them, desperately trying to buy time for the enemy and delay the protagonist's actions.

If I really want to help the principal, the only way is to get the poisoned teachers back as soon as possible, and then come back after they take the antidote.

"Let's go..."

Before he could finish speaking, a figure shot down from the sky like a cannonball, crashing into the ground and causing the ground at the school gate to collapse. The shockwave sent the surrounding Demon Beast flying into the air.

If it were a normal person, this impact would likely have shattered their bones; the speed at which they crashed into the ground was comparable to a head-on collision with a truck. But the newcomer calmly stood up, dusted himself off, and turned to say, "Principal, you should leave too. I'll hold them off here."

The visitor was none other than Si Ming.

The principal hurriedly warned, "Student, there's poison in the air."
