"I don't care whether you're the 'Dao Destroyer' or not. The fact that a mere human actually managed to injure me..."
At this point, Zhe Kui stopped and glanced at his own body.
Before Wu Gou's sword reached him, he had already used a secret technique to leave his beast body, but he was still caught in the sword energy.
His body was now covered in crisscrossing wounds. They would heal, only to split open again, repeating the cycle endlessly.
Fortunately, the phenomenon had already begun to fade. Even when the wounds reopened, they were no longer as horrifying as before.
Zhe Kui snorted. Clearly, being injured by Wu Gou still rankled him.
"If my power were complete, if I had not manifested in beast form, then even if that mecha and that human burned everything they had, how could they possibly hurt me?"
He stood up again. By now, the wounds on his body had mostly closed, and they no longer split open.
At that moment, he sensed something, and Chou Ji's voice rang beside his ear.
"Holy Lord, Gao Lin has found Su Jingyuan and taken him out of the Undercity."
Only then did the anger in Zhe Kui's eyes lessen somewhat.
He nodded lightly and left this hiding place.
Outside Hundred Battles Academy.
Pan Renfeng looked at Di Zheng, who stood not far away like a statue.
The old principal sighed and walked over, placing a hand on Di Zheng's shoulder.
"Let go, Fenghua is gone."
Only then did Di Zheng come back to himself. He looked at his close friend once more before slowly loosening his tightly clenched hand around Wei Fenghua's.
Wei Fenghua's eyes were closed, and a smile curved his lips, as if he were asleep.
But his chest no longer rose and fell.
