Flender, Who Could Not Bear to See Liu Erlong Heartbroken

"Xiao San, Xiao San, you absolutely must not let anything happen to you!"

With his face swollen like a pig's head, Flender endured the pain wracking his body as he continuously flapped the wings on his back, his eyes constantly scanning the ground below.

After being sent flying by the Titan Giant Ape, he had luckily landed in a tree. Using the large tree to cushion his fall, he had avoided being smashed to death on impact.

The moment he landed, Flender hurried off to find Tang San.

If anything happened to Tang San, how was he supposed to explain it to his good brother?!

The thought of his good brother's heartbroken face made Flender search even more frantically.

If his good brother's heartbreak was discovered by his beloved Second Dragon Sister—

His beloved Second Dragon Sister would also be devastated because his good brother was devastated!

Flender did not want to see his beloved Second Dragon Sister wearing that utterly heartbroken expression.

For his good brother, and for his beloved Second Dragon Sister—

No matter what, he, Flender, had to find Tang San today!

Flender was only five hundred meters away from where Tang San had fallen unconscious. At the speed of a Soul Saint like Flender, he could arrive in just a few breaths.

"That's... Xiao San!"

The instant Flender spotted Tang San on the ground, joy surged through his heart.

Wonderful, wonderful! His good brother would not have to be heartbroken, and his beloved Second Dragon Sister would not have to be heartbroken either!

Flender quickly flew toward where Tang San lay unconscious. At that moment, Tang San was the only thing in his eyes, and he completely overlooked Lu Li standing nearby.

Only after drawing close did Flender discover that Tang San's back was covered in blood, while Tang San himself lay motionless on the ground.

The heart that Flender had just managed to settle immediately began to panic again.

"Xiao San! Xiao San, what happened to you?!"

"You mustn't scare your dean like this!"

Flender knelt on the ground and carefully gathered Tang San, who was lying prone, into his arms.

At over fifty years old, Flender cried like a child.

There was no helping it. If something happened to Tang San, not only would he be too ashamed to face his good brother—

His beloved Second Dragon Sister would also be utterly heartbroken over his good brother losing his disciple, and thus become utterly heartbroken herself.

He truly did not want his beloved Second Dragon Sister to become so heartbroken!

Flender extended two fingers and cautiously checked Tang San's pulse.

Once he sensed Tang San's pulse still beating, Flender let out a fierce sigh of relief.

Wonderful! Xiao San was not dead, and he would not have to face his good brother in shame!

After his relief faded, Flender's eyes reddened again as he looked at the severely injured and unconscious Tang San.

"Who! Who was it?!"

"Who dared to harm a student of Shrek Academy?!"

Rage soared from Flender's entire body.

At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.

How could they dare?! They had actually dared to lay a hand on someone from Shrek Academy?!

More importantly, Tang San had suffered such severe injuries. How was he supposed to explain this to his good brother when he returned?!

Lu Li stood to one side, quietly watching Flender from the moment he landed until he now looked like he was having a Down syndrome episode.

Is this really the Four-Eyed Cat-Eagle? How could his eyesight be this bad?

Lu Li inwardly mocked him.

He was standing right there, and Flender had descended from the sky, yet he had somehow failed to see him?

"Cough, cough."

Lu Li gave two dry coughs, drawing Flender's attention over.

In truth, Lu Li had considered having Dragon One serve as the test subject to gauge the current power of the Void Sword.

But before Lu Li could decide, Flender had arrived.

Since he was already here, why not let Flender be the test subject?

Hearing the cough behind him, Flender immediately turned around.

When Flender saw that the source of the sound was a child who appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old—

Perhaps because he had spent too long around Yu Xiaogang and caught some of Yu Xiaogang's "world-shaking wisdom," Flender's mind actually came up with an excellent solution.

"I've got it. I'll capture this child and claim he was the one who injured Xiao San so badly. Then, this dean only needs to use Spirit Power to suppress this child and let Xiaogang kill him personally!"

"That way, won't I have an explanation for Xiaogang?!"

The more Flender thought about it, the more profound he found his own plan.

"Fine! That's what I'll do!"

Flender made his decision.

"Brat! Was it you who injured a student of Shrek Academy?!"

Hearing Flender's interrogation, Lu Li suddenly felt that—

Flender was far smarter than Yu Xiaogang!

However, before Lu Li could make any move or reply—

Flender declared with certainty, "Hmph! I knew it was you!"

"Brat, come obediently back to the Academy with me!"

Flender now only wanted to take Tang San and this carefully selected scapegoat back to Shrek Academy.

After all, what had happened earlier was far too bizarre. A Titan Giant Ape had actually appeared in the Outer Perimeter!

Therefore, he had to hurry and leave with Tang San and the scapegoat before him. Otherwise, if the Titan Giant Ape returned, they truly would not be able to escape.

As for Xiao Wu, who had been taken away by the Titan Giant Ape—

Flender could only mourn for her.

After saying this, Flender gave Lu Li no time to react. His hands instantly transformed into eagle claws, and with a flash of his body, he lunged toward Lu Li.

But just as the corners of Flender's lips curled upward slightly, believing that Lu Li before him was about to be caught—

The space to his left suddenly tore open without warning, and a short sword flew directly out from the rift.

It shot straight toward his little brother!

Flender was instantly terrified. He simply could not understand where this short sword had come from.

But at this moment, Flender could not care about anything else. If he did not take defensive measures now, his little brother would be gone!

In an instant, Spirit Power surged through Flender's body, and a barrier formed from Spirit Power immediately appeared around his little brother.

There was not enough time. Flender had no chance to condense a large-area shield, so he could only choose to protect his little brother first.

When the Void Sword struck the shield in front of Flender's little brother, a bang rang out, and cracks began appearing across the shield.

Watching the cracks continuously spread, Lu Li grew increasingly satisfied with the Void Sword's power.

A four-thousand-year Void Sword, after being enhanced eighty-twofold, could threaten a shield condensed from the Spirit Power of a Soul Saint.

Then what about one that was ten thousand years old, a hundred thousand years old, or even god-grade?

Furthermore, as Lu Li's Spirit Power increased in the future, the power of the Void Sword would increase by at least two hundredfold.

It could only be said that the Void Sword's power had no upper limit.

While Lu Li was pleased, Flender had also fallen into deep shock.

"Not good!"

Flender had no time to think and immediately chose to stop maintaining the shield.

After taking a deep breath, Flender's body instantly dove toward an open patch of ground beside him.

At that very moment, the shield Flender had condensed for his little brother disappeared, and the Void Sword nearly grazed past Flender's thigh.

Taking a small amount of flesh with it.

Lu Li recalled the Void Sword. Protected by Dragon One's Spirit Power, he immediately concealed himself in the darkness.

Ignoring the pain in his thigh, Flender hurriedly looked toward Tang San.

Seeing that Tang San was unharmed, he let out a fierce sigh of relief.

When he looked again at where Lu Li had been standing, he discovered that the spot was already completely empty.

"Bizarre. The Star Dou Forest is far too bizarre today."
