Seeing that Li He had subdued the opponent and successfully rescued Gu Jianbing with a single move, Cheng Queyi and the others behind them breathed a sigh of relief, and their forward pace slowed down.
The skinny boy even had a chance to shout, "Senior Li is so powerful and awesome!"
Protecting his girlfriend, He Jiong fearlessly glanced sideways at Mi Lailai not far away.
This glance was precisely captured by Mi Lailai.
It contains many indescribable emotions.
Entangled in the struggle, Mi Lailai angrily stomped her high-heeled lambskin ankle boots and shouted at him, "Look at you! Get over here and help!"
He Jiong quickly let go of his girlfriend and told her to hide far away, then ran to Mi Lailai to help deal with the black-robed man's strange energy.
Ahead.
Li He, who had subdued the man in black robes with a single move, grabbed the man's arm and was about to ask something when he asked, "What about you and Wang..."
Before he could finish his sentence, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
The black-robed man, who had been restrained, suddenly grabbed him instead, and his body gradually returned to normal from its previous stiffness.
Li He felt a chilling, icy sensation coming from behind him. Ignoring the black-robed man who had escaped in front of him, he used his other free arm to throw a punch backward.
As the fist swung, layers of purple scales rapidly covered it, making it look like the claws of some kind of ferocious beast, hard and sharp.
Standing behind him was another person dressed in a black robe.
Furthermore, the cracked opening in the light continued to send out robed figures of various colors. These figures quickly dispersed after exiting the opening, seemingly forming a circle around the students from the Academy.
In the blink of an eye.
Li He's fist had already reached the second black-robed man and successfully struck him.
A dull thud, like the sound of a punching bag, echoed in the air.
The second man in black robes took a small step back.
His expression seemed somewhat surprised by the power of the punch, but then he curled his lips into a disdainful smile.
In that brief moment of contact, Li He's fist, covered in purple scales, struck him while simultaneously absorbing the energy he used for self-defense.
This energy is exactly the same as the strange energy that caused Mi Lailai to get caught up in the struggle not far away.
Mi Lailai the 800th floor, found it difficult to resist using her domain and had to call on He Jiong, who was also on the 800th floor, for help.
What about Li He?
Upon close contact with the physical body, this bluish-gray energy seemed to possess a life of its own, rapidly spreading and covering the contact surface.
The seemingly hard and sharp purple scales on the fist were devoured or corroded by the bluish-gray spreading lines, exposing the skin underneath without any resistance.
Eating the empty scales like potato chips isn't enough.
The bluish-gray energy continued to penetrate downwards, soon "eating" the flesh and blood on the fist like it was eating char siu.
Li He couldn't help but groan in pain.
Purple scales began to grow wildly all over his body. He suddenly broke free from the black-robed man and took several steps back, forcefully shaking off the strange energy that had clung to his hands.
Unfortunately, these strange, bluish-gray energies were like a persistent, insidious infection, and no matter how Li He tried to shake them off, he couldn't get rid of them.
Even more frighteningly, as he patted, the energy quickly spread to his other arm.
Li He, the now renowned Dean of the Five Regions Academy, looked utterly disheveled, his forehead covered in sweat.
The two men in black robes successfully met up.
Number Two extended a hand wrapped in bluish-gray energy and placed it on Number One's back, then pulled out a ball of bright purple light.
The two of them huddled together and stared at the ball of light for a while.
A disdainful smile appeared on his face.
The first black-robed man, who had been subdued by Li He in a single move, pointed at the bright purple light and laughed at Li He, "According to your Eastern Continent's ranking system, how come this is only a fourth-level extraordinary skill? Is the Dean the Five Regions Academy a Poor Ghost?"
Money is a perpetual source of pain for Li He.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Li He's eyes turned red. Ignoring the pain and the bluish-gray energy clinging to his hands, he retrieved an item from the aircraft, slammed it into his palm, and shouted, " Dragon King Token!"
A bright purple beam of light shot up from the ground and into the sky.
In the sky above the Academy.
The layers of clouds and mist suddenly began to ripple slowly like water.
With each breath, a snake-like mouth emerged from the clouds, its long whiskers, which danced around its lips, were as thick as towering tree trunks.
Behind the long beard, a pair of enormous, round eyes appeared and disappeared within the clouds. His gaze swept across the ground before finally settling on Li He, who held a purple token.
Without a word, Li He tilted the tip of his token, pointed it at the location of the black-robed man, and roared, "Kill!"
"Boom!"
Almost the instant the word "kill" was uttered, the enormous maw in the sky suddenly opened wide and spewed a thick cloud of purple flames at the man in black robes.
Due to the close proximity, the purple flames covered an area that even encompassed most of the optical port.
The figures that emerged afterward were all enveloped in purple flames.
Immediately, cries of pain and screams rang out.
Through the interplay of light and shadow, one could see the robed figures within the purple flames in disarray.
Stronger black-robed figures can also use their bluish-gray energy to offer some resistance.
The weaker warrior, clad in a multicolored robe, could not stop the surging, intense purple flames with his wisps of bluish-gray. He screamed and was burned, and soon turned to ashes scattered all over the ground.
Seeing this scene...
Li He silently exhaled.
He took half a step forward, getting closer to the purple flames, and put his hands, which were stained with bluish-gray energy, into the flames, letting the purple flames burn his skin, flesh, and bones into charcoal.
The eerie bluish-gray energy vanished into the flames.
Through the purple flames, Li He saw the number one black-robed figure inside staring at him with a gloomy gaze.
Li He raised his hand, showing the other person the charred flesh and blood, indicating that it was all thanks to the other person.
The black-robed figure within the purple flames nodded slightly, opened his arms to pull his companion closer, and closed his eyes.
Led by two men in black robes, Number One and Number Two, more and more people in long robes joined hands and started closing their eyes.
A buzzing sound seemed to echo in the air.
An obscure and inexplicable feeling enveloped the scene, and all the surrounding purple flames seemed to freeze in mid-air.
Isolation Grand Formation!
The priests of the Western Continent, having trained for a long time, had mastered the techniques that came naturally and in perfect harmony. With the addition of this new power, they displayed a power that was on a completely different level from before.
They seemed to be isolated from even the air.
The next second.
The purple flame vanished silently.
It was as if it had never existed.
The fire-breathing behemoth in the sky was struck hard and retreated somewhat disheveledly back into the clouds and disappeared.
The black-robed man, number one, who was only a few steps away from Li He, looked at the frozen Li He and revealed a sinister smile.
He pulled away from his companion's grasp, his entire body enveloped in a layer of bluish-gray energy.
The man in black robes strode forward, his palm, enveloped in bluish-gray energy, slamming hard onto Li He's head.
The bluish-gray energy seemed to possess unparalleled power, instantly sending Li He flying upon contact. He tumbled dozens of meters to the ground before crashing heavily into the wall of the Dean's Office.
The newly built Dean's Office, which cost a "huge sum" to construct, has collapsed once again!
A cloud of dust buried Li He, and his fate was unknown.
