Man-Made Beast Tide

Suppose Xu Jie had wiped out the entire mercenary group, leaving no survivors.

As long as no other Martial Artists witnessed it, even if countless ordinary people saw it, Even if he killed members of the mercenary group in front of ordinary people, it would be as if he hadn't killed anyone.

The reason was simple: ordinary people had no say in this world!

Otherwise, if any ordinary person could testify that a Martial Artist had unlawfully killed another Martial Artist, wouldn't Xia Country descend into chaos?

Therefore, only Martial Artists could be witnesses and had the qualifications to testify!

For a prodigy from a university like Xu Jie, the difficulty of accusing him would be even greater!

No rush, they were already out of the city. Did he think there wouldn't be an opportunity to make a move?

At the front of the Jinwu University team.

The lead Instructor found the mercenary group leader and negotiated coldly.

"Commander Qin, tell your people to restrain themselves! You haven't joined the Guard Army yet. Are you planning to never leave the city again after this?"

The Instructor's attitude was extremely tough, carrying a clear threat.

On one hand, his strength surpassed Commander Qin's; he was a Third-rank Martial Artist, while Commander Qin was only a Second-rank Intermediate Stage.

On the other hand, the Instructors from martial universities belonged to the Martial Department, which was not comparable to mere mercenary groups.

If they truly angered these Instructors, after the beast tide ended, this mercenary group wouldn't be able to leave the city easily. They would definitely face brutal retaliation from the Jinwu University Instructors.

This was the world of Martial Artists!

If you were strong, you could stand above the weak, even directly threatening their lives!

Hearing the Instructor's blatant threat, the scarred Commander Qin forced a smile.

He immediately turned around and sternly reprimanded his unruly subordinates.

However, when the Instructor wasn't paying attention, Commander Qin revealed a cold glint in his eyes, casually glancing at Xu Jie in the team.

That person must be the target, right?

What a grand scheme!

To kill a martial university student, they actually went as far as to instigate a beast tide!

Commander Qin glanced at his surroundings, realizing they had passed the core defense line and entered the outer areas.

Thus, he proactively approached the Jinwu University Instructor, speaking in the name of the military's Guard Army.

"Lord Captain has ordered us to disperse and clear the demons in this area. Instructor, what do you think?"

The Instructor merely nodded, clearly aware of this protocol.

Following that, he summoned several powerful Instructors and instructed them to lead the students in clearing the designated areas in batches according to the established plan.

And so, the students and Instructors around Xu Jie gradually dispersed. The further they moved from the city, the fewer people were around him.

This also gave him an opportunity to make his move. Following Chu Mingyue and a group of students, he killed several demons along the way.

Meanwhile, on the city walls south of Jincheng City.

Zhao Tianyu's father, Zhao Du, one of Jincheng City's Guard Officers, stood with Xu Bin.

The two avoided the crowd, seemingly conversing in low tones.

One was a Guard Officer of Jincheng City, a high-ranking general in the military.

The other was a Fourth-rank Martial Artist, naturally drawing much attention. He couldn't personally descend to the battlefield and leave the city, so he could only remain on the city walls.

"Brother Xu, the plan has begun!"

"Yes, is it foolproof?"

"Rest assured, it's foolproof!"

Zhao Du grinned ferociously, his tone chillingly cruel as he whispered.

"Even if Xu Jie is a prodigy, he's still just a teenager. Isn't it easy to provoke him? As long as we lure him to the designated area, there will be no witnesses!"

If Xu Jie died during this beast tide, even if the Martial Department's assessment team came to Jincheng City, they wouldn't be able to investigate deeply.

After all, it wasn't yet certain how great Xu Jie's talent truly was.

No one would waste precious resources and manpower to investigate the truth for a dead person.

Even if the truth were uncovered, could Xu Jie be resurrected?

"Well done!"

Xu Bin nodded with satisfaction, then feigned a sigh.

"It's a pity that to kill one Xu Jie, we had to instigate this beast tide. Tens of thousands of civilians will die... alas!"

"Hmph!"

Zhao Du's face was filled with ferocious malice, his eyes carrying a hint of madness and hysteria.

"So what? My son is already dead! Let those commoners be buried with my son! Doesn't this world have people dying every day? Dying sooner is their good fortune!"

Xu Bin's lips curved into a slight smile, clearly agreeing with Zhao Du's statement.

After leaving the City Lord's mansion that day and falling out with Xu Jie at Jinwu University, he had proactively contacted Zhao Du, who had also lost a son, to discuss how to kill Xu Jie before the investigation team arrived.

Both of them harbored a deep hatred for Xu Jie due to the death of their sons, and they hit it off immediately.

That very day, they formulated a plan to lure the beast horde from outside the city to attack Jincheng City, using the beast tide to kill Xu Jie.

Xu Bin and Zhao Du had initially worried that Xu Jie might not leave the city...

But in the end, Xu Jie actually came!

Everything became much simpler!

Zhao Du, who deeply hated Xu Jie, used his authority as a Guard Officer to arrange everything.

He was confident he could kill Xu Jie in the wilderness without anyone noticing, thus avenging his son's death.

For this purpose, the desperate Zhao Du didn't hesitate to actively lure the beast tide to attack Jincheng City's defenses, creating the current situation.

In Zhao Du's eyes, as long as Xu Jie could be killed, he wouldn't care if tens of thousands of civilians died, or even if the beast tide broke through Jincheng's city walls!

According to Zhao Du and Xu Bin's expectations, although Xu Jie was a prodigy, his cultivation was at most at the Blood Moving Realm. If he really left the city, wouldn't he be at their mercy?

Even if Xu Jie had already performed Blood Moving nine times, so what?

Could he break through to the Pulse Opening Realm in such a short time?

In the end, Xu Jie was still just a Martial Artist in the Blood Moving Realm!

It should be known that Zhao Du had not only dispatched a mercenary group to cooperate but had also secretly arranged for his trusted Captain, a Martial Artist at the Pulse-Opening Peak Stage, to assassinate Xu Jie in the wilderness.

Up to this moment, Zhao Du's plan was still proceeding smoothly!

On the outer defense line.

In a day, Xu Jie had only killed three First-rank demons, gaining over two hundred years of usable lifespan.

He glanced somewhat helplessly at Chu Mingyue, who was personally protecting him, and sighed inwardly.

This girl's strength was truly formidable!

But it was precisely because she was too strong that Xu Jie felt quite helpless.

As time passed, the students from Jinwu University gradually dispersed.

In the end, only Chu Mingyue remained by Xu Jie's side, sticking to him like stubborn glue, impossible to shake off.

It wouldn't have been so bad if she could be shaken off, but the key was that Chu Mingyue's combat power was astonishingly high, far beyond that of an ordinary Martial Artist at the Pulse-Opening Peak Stage.

Xu Jie had specifically asked and learned that Chu Mingyue was at the Twelfth Layer of the Pulse Opening Realm and was a Martial Dao Prodigy currently opening her eighth meridian.
