At that thought, he said to the group beside him, "Go up and seize him. Better yet, force him to make a move, then take the chance to kill him!"

"What if he doesn't make a move?"

"Then arrest him immediately and send him to Wind City's dungeon. We'll kill him there!"

At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had brought a squad along to see the outcome.

The only pity was that this squad belonged to the Wind City Guard. They had to be somewhat restrained when taking action and could not kill without restraint. They needed a pretext.

Otherwise, they could have simply gone out and killed him. Why go through so much trouble?

"Who dares commit murder in broad daylight in my Wind City?"

A group of soldiers rushed out from one side and surrounded Wang Sheng.

"Hmm?"

Wang Sheng's expression darkened. His condition was far from good right now. He had expended a great deal of Soul Power, and one of his arms had been injured by the Quake and was temporarily unusable.

More importantly, the murderous intent in the leader's eyes was completely undisguised.

But Wang Sheng was at a disadvantage now, so he could only try to explain. "Captain, this is a misunderstanding. They attacked me first. I was only defending myself!"

"Defending yourself? Does defending yourself mean you can kill people? What do you take Wind City's order for?"

With that, he sneered coldly and waved his hand. "Take him down."

The soldiers immediately closed in with malicious looks on their faces.

Wang Sheng was no fool. There had to be something fishy going on here.

The fight had been so intense before, yet not a single person had appeared. The moment it ended, they came out. How could that possibly be a coincidence?

If they caught him, even if he did not die, he would be skinned alive!

Since that was the case, he might as well fight. Two Soul Rings immediately appeared around Wang Sheng.

"What, you still want to resist?" the captain barked coldly. His martial soul, the Iron Rod, appeared in his hand, and his Soul Rings emerged as well.

"One white, one yellow, two purple, and one black? A five-ring Spirit King?"

In an instant, Wang Sheng gave up on fighting. A gap of three rings was simply impossible to make up for.

But a Spirit King serving as the captain of the guard?

Although judging from his Soul Rings, this Spirit King was clearly not particularly strong.

Still, a Spirit King was a Spirit King. It made no sense for him to be merely a captain!

This matter was becoming increasingly strange!

Although he had promised Teacher Xue Yue not to use Flame Wings, there was... probably no other way for him to leave now.

Just as Wang Sheng was about to escape through the air, a cold laugh rang out.

"Hehe... Liu Cheng, you're getting bolder and bolder. You even dare arrest my student!"

The leader's face stiffened at the sound, and his martial soul and Soul Rings instantly vanished.

He was indeed Liu Cheng.

A smile appeared on Wang Sheng's face, because he recognized Teacher Xue Yue's voice.

Sure enough, Xue Yue slowly walked out. Mei Hu stood beside her. It seemed Mei Hu had rushed back to ask for help! She really was clever.

"Hahaha, a misunderstanding, Teacher Xue Yue. This is truly a misunderstanding. If I had known he was your student, even if you lent me a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't have dared!"

At this moment, there was not the slightest trace of murderous intent left on Liu Cheng's face. Only fear and alarm remained.

"A misunderstanding? My student said the same thing just now, but you had no intention of letting him go."

"How could that be? I was only joking. Yes, just joking."

Liu Cheng forced a smile. Although he and Xue Yue were both Spirit Kings, the gap in their strength was immense. He was no match for her at all.

"A joke? Then I'll make a joke too."

A silver scepter appeared in Xue Yue's hand. It was her martial soul, the Goddess Scepter.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black! Five Soul Rings appeared!

Terror appeared on Liu Cheng's face. At the same time, his martial soul and Soul Rings emerged once more. He did not dare let down his guard in the slightest before Xue Yue.

Goddess's Radiance!

Xue Yue made her move. Behind her appeared an incomparably beautiful figure holding a scepter.

Both Wang Sheng and Mei Hu stared blankly, murmuring, "So beautiful!"

Other than Mei Hu, this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Yet she was the complete opposite of Mei Hu. Mei Hu was seductive and sexy, a natural mature beauty who drew people in.

This figure, however, was pure, elegant, and sacred beyond violation.

But in Liu Cheng's eyes, she had become the most terrifying existence imaginable. His face was more solemn than ever, and his grip on his Iron Rod tightened involuntarily.

Xue Yue lightly tapped the scepter in her hand. The goddess figure likewise lightly tapped her own scepter, sending it toward Liu Cheng.

It looked extremely slow, yet it was also incredibly fast, giving Liu Cheng no chance to dodge.

Roar!

With no other choice, Liu Cheng gritted his teeth, let out a wild roar, and raised his martial soul to meet the attack.

Bang...

Liu Cheng's Iron Rod martial soul shattered the instant it made contact! Yet the goddess's scepter did not slow in the slightest. It struck his chest directly and sent him flying.

"Cough, cough..."

After landing, Liu Cheng coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and struggled to his feet.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Teacher Xue Yue!"

He was not stupid. At the final moment, he had felt the attack weaken sharply. Otherwise, he would never have been able to stand now.

"Even if my student had truly made a mistake, only Canghui Academy has the right to handle it. It is not your place, as some petty guard captain, to flaunt your authority."

"I hope you remember that. Otherwise..."

Although Xue Yue had only made her point lightly, everyone understood the meaning behind her words.

"Dominating!"

Wang Sheng was deeply shaken as he watched. He knew Xue Yue was far beyond the likes of Liu Cheng, but he had never expected the gap to be so great.

He had clearly seen that Xue Yue had only activated her second Soul Ring.

Liu Cheng had seemed to only block the attack, but he had activated a Soul Ring as well—his Fourth Soul Ring. He had clearly used a defensive soul skill! Even so, he had still been defeated in a single strike.

As for Mei Hu, when she looked at Xue Yue, her eyes had long since begun sparkling with little stars.

Whoosh!

Even the guard captain had been severely injured with a single blow, so the soldiers instantly retreated to the side.

They were merely ordinary people. Their usual arrogance had only come from relying on Liu Cheng, their captain. How could they still dare surround Wang Sheng now?

"Brother Sheng, are you all right?"

With the matter settled, Mei Hu immediately rushed over. Looking at Wang Sheng's injured arm, tears welled up in her large eyes.

Wang Sheng could not help pinching her little cheek and softly comforting her. "Meier, I'm fine! It's only a minor injury."

Xue Yue also immediately came over and examined Wang Sheng's injuries. When she found that he was indeed not seriously hurt, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if it's only a minor injury, it still needs to be treated immediately! Come on, we'll return to the academy and treat you!"
