Arriving Just in Time
Xun'er looked at the four people and asked, "You just said you were blocked in the forest. Who blocked you?"
Hu Jia and the other two immediately looked towards them. It seemed that even at the other end of the forest, there were still senior students from the Inner Academy blocking their way. The young man in the lead spoke up, "We walked all the way to the edge of the forest, and at one end we encountered other freshmen from the Outer Academy. They were also lingering there when they were stopped by a group of men in black. They could only enter the Inner Academy by defeating them, or they could simply admit defeat!"
Hu Jia looked at him and asked, "Has anyone admitted defeat?"
The young man shook his head and said, "No, they were planning to break through while there were many people, but we felt it was unreliable, so we turned back."
Xiao Yan interjected, "That group of men in black should be the Black Fiend Squad of the Black and White Fiends."
Xiao Yan then looked at the young man and asked, "Do you know the strength of the Black Fiend Squad?"
The young man slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard that the captain seems to be at the peak of the Peak Da Dou Shi. I don't know anything about the others!"
Hearing the young man's words, Xiao Yan and his group of five looked slightly serious. If the Black Fiend Squad consisted of Peak Da Dou Shi, then the White Fiend Squad was definitely no worse than the Black Fiend Squad, and perhaps even stronger. But if they were stronger, then they would be Dou Ling!
Xiao Yan looked at the four of them and asked, "Since we've run into each other, why don't we travel together? We can look out for each other on the way, what do you say?"
These four were naturally more than happy to have them, as the people in front of them were all among the top five in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament, and even if their strength was not the best, they were still stronger than them.
Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Why don't we go find Brother Xiao Yu and reunite with him? We don't know how many teams of senior students are left on the other side. If we run into the Black Fiend Squad again, our situation will be much more dangerous!"
Hu Jia nodded and said, "Yes, the further we go, the more dangerous our situation becomes. We should go and meet up with Xiao Yu first."
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Alright then, let's go and meet up with Brother Yu first!"
The group immediately prepared to set off, but the forest was so vast, where could Xiao Yu possibly be?
At this moment, everyone's expression changed slightly. More than a dozen rather powerful auras emanated from all directions. Xiao Yan said in a deep voice, "It's an old student!"
Sure enough, the next moment, more than a dozen figures flashed out of the forest, their feet stomping heavily on the open ground, creating a gust of wind that shook the surrounding withered leaves, and a powerful aura swept over like a tidal wave.
At the same time, Xiao Yan and the others unleashed Dou Qi from their bodies, completely resisting these several auras.
Xiao Yan coldly stared at the leading youth, who was none other than Su Xiao. Standing to Su Xiao's right was Xiu Yan, and on the other side was Leng Bai. They did not conceal their auras, both possessing the strength of Six Star Great Dou Master. However, their auras were much more profound, and they were probably only a step away from becoming Seven-star Great Dou Shi!
Su Xiao frowned slightly as she looked at the nine people in front of her, then turned to Leng Bai and asked in a low voice, "Why are there nine people? Have their two teams joined forces?"
Leng Bai shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, there probably isn't one."
Standing to the side, Xiu Yan sneered and said, "Who cares? Our three teams are taking on their two teams, why should we hold back?"
Su Xiao at Xiao Yan and smiled, saying, "You must be the captain of this team, right? Your name is Xiao Yan, isn't it? You're quite good!"
Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Since you've found this place, you must have come for the Fire Energy we possess, right?"
Su Xiao nodded and said, "That's a good reason. Of course, another reason is that your anti-hunting efforts against the senior students have been reported back to the Inner Academy, attracting the attention of many Inner Academy students. At the same time, we also need to bring honor back to the Inner Academy!"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that these three groups of people had surrounded them now, probably to kill them. But how did they know their whereabouts?
Thinking this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but think to himself, "As expected, none of those who can enter the Inner Academy are simple!"
Xiu Yan said impatiently, "Alright, hurry up and resolve this, don't waste any more time!"
Su Xiao and Leng Bai exchanged a glance and then nodded, saying, "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, fifteen powerful auras surged out from the arena. This scene made Xiao Yan's group frown. These fifteen people were basically all Three Star Da Dou Shi. This battle would not be easy!
As Xiao Yan and the others' Dou Qi surged, the two sides instantly clashed in battle.
Xiao Yu was still darting through the mountains and forests when he suddenly sensed a surge of Dou Qi rising in the distance. He frowned, and his Wind Attribute Dou Qi qi surged forth. Riding the Moon Chase, he increased his speed once again, his figure becoming a blur.
On the opposite side from Xiao Yu, a group of figures dressed in black also sensed this intense aura. Five figures, exuding a fierce aura, rushed towards the center like five humanoid demonic beasts.
Xiao Yan, wielding the giant ruler, repelled Su Xiao once more. At the same time, he glanced back at Wu Hao and the others. Xun'er, along with the other four and Xiao Yu, adopted a defensive stance, constantly resisting the attacks of the three Inner Academy. However, the strength of the senior students on the other side was far superior to that of their side. Even with Xun'er, a Seven-star Great Dou Shi, controlling the entire scene, the situation was still fraught with danger!
Among the team led by Leng Bai, a young man seized an opportunity, his Ice Attribute Dou Qi instantly condensing into an ice spike. With a slap of his palm, the ice spike shot towards Xun'er at a strange angle.
Xun'er was distracted by the attacks from others and didn't notice the hidden hand at all. Xiao Yu did see it, but she could only watch helplessly as the ice spike hurtled towards Xun'er!
At the critical moment, a black afterimage appeared beside Xun'er, its hand passing through Xun'er slender waist and pulling her into its embrace. Xun'er was about to resist when she heard a familiar soft hum, and her surging Dou Qi instantly vanished.
At the same time, the dark figure's hand, still burning with flames, grasped the rapidly approaching ice spike. A burst of Heavenly Flames erupted, instantly turning the ice spike into water vapor.
The newcomer was Xiao Yu, and it seemed he was even faster.
After deflecting the ice spikes, Xiao Yu, carrying Xun'er in his arms, rushed towards the young man who had thrown the ice spikes. To the young man's terrified look, he slammed his foot hard into his stomach.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the young man transformed into a human-shaped cannonball, knocking his two companions flying and crashing to the ground. They coughed up blood and lost all ability to resist!
This sudden change caused everyone present to stop in their tracks. When Hu Jia and the others saw that it was Xiao Yu who had arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yan lightly stomped his foot and retreated rapidly, disappearing from Su Xiao's attack range before smiling at Xiao Yu and saying, "If you hadn't come soon, we would have lost our Fire Energy!"
