"Xiao San, Xiao San, nothing must happen to you!"
Flender endured the pain in his body, his face swollen into a pig's head, and continuously beat the wings behind his back as his eyes searched the ground below.
After being sent flying by the Titan Giant Ape, he had luckily landed in a tree. With the tree cushioning his fall, he had avoided being smashed to death outright.
The moment he landed, Flender hurried off to find Tang San.
If anything had happened to Tang San, how could he answer to his good brother?
At the thought of his good brother's heartbroken face, Flender searched even more desperately.
If his good brother's heartbreak were discovered by his beloved Sister Erlong—
Then his beloved Sister Erlong would also be heartbroken because his good brother was heartbroken!
Flender did not want to see his beloved Sister Erlong wear that utterly heartbroken expression.
For his good brother, and for his beloved Sister Erlong as well—
No matter what, Flender had to find Tang San today!
Flender was only five hundred meters away from where Tang San had fallen unconscious. With the speed of a Soul Saint, he could arrive in just a few breaths.
"That's... Xiao San!"
The moment Flender spotted Tang San on the ground, his heart filled with wild joy.
Wonderful, wonderful! His good brother would not have to be heartbroken, and his beloved Sister Erlong would not have to be heartbroken either!
Flender quickly flew toward where Tang San lay unconscious. At that moment, Tang San was all he could see, and he completely overlooked Lu Li standing not far away.
Only after getting closer did Flender discover that Tang San's back was covered in blood, while Tang San himself lay motionless on the ground.
At once, Flender's heart, which had only just calmed down, began to panic again.
"Xiao San! Xiao San, what happened to you?!"
"Don't scare your headmaster like this!"
Flender knelt on the ground and carefully gathered Tang San, who had been lying facedown, into his arms.
Over fifty years old, Flender cried like a child at that moment.
It could not be helped. If anything happened to Tang San, not only would he be too ashamed to face his good brother—
His beloved Sister Erlong would also be utterly heartbroken after his good brother lost his disciple, and thus become utterly heartbroken.
He truly did not want his beloved Sister Erlong to become utterly heartbroken!
Flender extended two fingers and carefully checked Tang San's pulse.
When he sensed Tang San's pulse still beating, Flender heaved a fierce sigh of relief.
Wonderful! Xiao San was not dead, and he would not have to face his good brother in shame!
After celebrating inwardly, Flender looked at the severely injured and unconscious Tang San with reddened eyes.
"Who! Who was it?!"
"Who dared to hurt someone from Shrek Academy?!"
Flender's fury soared to the heavens.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like a bull.
How dare they?! They even dared lay hands on someone from Shrek Academy?!
More importantly, Tang San had been so badly injured. How was he supposed to explain this to his good brother after returning?!
Lu Li stood to the side, quietly watching Flender from the moment he landed until now, when he seemed to be having a fit of stupidity.
Is this really the Four-Eyed Cat-Eagle? How could his eyesight be this bad?
Lu Li grumbled inwardly.
He was standing right there, and Flender had descended from the sky, yet Flender had somehow failed to see him?
"Ahem."
Lu Li coughed twice, drawing Flender's gaze over.
Lu Li had actually considered having Dragon One serve as a test subject to test the current power of the Void Sword.
But before Lu Li had made up his mind, 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 looked only twelve or thirteen years old—
Perhaps because he had spent too long with Yu Xiaogang and caught a bit of Yu Xiaogang's "world-shaking wisdom," Flender actually came up with an excellent solution.
"Got it. I'll capture this child and say he was the one who injured Xiao San so badly. Then all I need to do is use my Soul Power to suppress him and have Xiao Gang kill him personally!"
"That way, won't I be able to answer to Xiao Gang?"
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.
"Boy! Were you the one who injured a student of Shrek Academy?!"
Hearing Flender's accusation, Lu Li suddenly felt—
Flender was far smarter than that Yu Xiaogang!
However, before Lu Li could react or reply—
Flender declared with certainty, "Hmph! I knew it was you!"
"Boy, obediently come back to the Academy with me!"
Flender only wanted to bring Tang San and this carefully selected scapegoat back to Shrek Academy.
What had happened earlier had been far too strange. A Titan Giant Ape had actually appeared in the outer perimeter!
He had to quickly take Tang San and the scapegoat before him out of here. 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 speaking, Flender gave Lu Li no time to react. His hands immediately transformed into eagle claws, and with a flash of his body, he lunged at Lu Li.
But just as the corners of Flender's mouth lifted slightly and he thought Lu Li was about to be caught—
The space to his left suddenly split 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 did not care about anything else. If he failed to take defensive measures now, his little brother would be gone!
In an instant, Soul Power surged through Flender's body, and a barrier formed from Soul Power appeared around his little brother.
There was not enough time. Flender had no chance to form a large 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, there was a Bang! and cracks began spreading across the shield.
Watching the cracks continuously appear, Lu Li grew increasingly satisfied with the Void Sword's power.
A four-thousand-year Void Sword, strengthened eighty-twofold, could threaten a shield condensed from a Soul Saint's Soul Power.
Then what about one that was ten thousand years old, a hundred thousand years old, or even god-tier?
Moreover, as Lu Li's Soul Power improved in the future, the Void Sword's power would increase by at least two hundred times.
It could only be said that the Void Sword's power had no upper limit.
While Lu Li was delighted, Flender sank into deep shock.
"Not good!"
Flender had no time to think and directly chose to stop maintaining the shield.
After taking a deep breath, Flender immediately threw himself toward an open patch of ground to the side.
At that very moment, the shield Flender had condensed for his little brother vanished, and the Void Sword almost grazed past Flender's thigh.
It tore away a small amount of flesh.
Lu Li recalled the Void Sword, and under the protection of Dragon One's Soul Power, he concealed himself in the darkness.
Ignoring the pain in his thigh, Flender hurriedly looked toward Tang San.
When he saw 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 place had long since become empty.
"Strange. The Star Dou Forest is far too strange today."
