Chapter 454
Crushing the emerald ring in his hand, Royd had never expected that Mu Yi's side would have such terrifying combat power.
Mu Yi not only has a giant dragon as a henchman, but he can also make the Guardian Sword Saint of the United Teach Kingdom a pawn under his command, obeying his orders.
What does that mean? The existence of the Sword Saint is qualitatively different from that humanoid dragon. The current Sword Saint is one of the top combat forces in the entire human race.
Not only did she become a legendary powerhouse at a young age, but she even reached the "Sword Spirit Realm," which her grandfather, the "Previous Sword Saint Luoso," had never been able to reach despite spending his entire life on it.
Carlos Lia, the Guardian Sword Saint of the United Teach Kingdom, was even able to wound the Demon King when wielding the Sword Saint and the Holy Sword Devorwell.
She and Saintess Sorapir Nora of the Holy Light Church are top-tier powerhouses on the same level, and both are Child of the Gods have received the favor of the gods.
Demons below the King-class cannot be defeated, especially when they are at full power. Killing a demon is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables for them.
However, even King-class demon is no match for Sword Saint in a one-on-one situation. At least two or three King-class demons would be needed to be on par with Sword Saint.
"The fighter lurking beside me... is actually Sword Saint..."
Thinking of this, Royd suddenly laughed, a somewhat embarrassed and ferocious laugh. This was truly an unexpected development, and one that was also so dramatic.
Although this plan was thwarted by Mu Yi and his pawns, in essence, this flawless plan was completely destroyed by his own hands.
First, it was when he first met Shadow on the first floor of the arena. Second, he took the initiative to invite Shadow to become his fighter and serve him.
The most important point is his conversation with Mu Yi in the second-floor hall on the last day of the registration conference.
"Mu Yi, I thought I had already thought of you as troublesome and difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you."
Royd chuckled coldly, pressing his throbbing temples. He had assumed that Lloyd was the one who first discovered Mu Yi's existence and noticed Mu Yi's special qualities.
It turns out that all of this was a plot orchestrated by that man. Perhaps he was already deeply involved in Mu Yi's script from the moment he first noticed Ying on the first floor of the arena.
At first, he actually thought he understood Mu Yi very well and believed that he had seen through the other party's thoughts.
How ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! He actually dared to try to guess what Mu Yi was thinking. How utterly presumptuous of him!
"Perhaps Mu Yi understands Royd better than I do, otherwise I wouldn't have been fooled by him to this extent."
Royd felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he could only barely hold onto the railing to keep from falling.
From the very beginning, Ying was a bait set up by Mu Yi to lure him into a trap, and everything that happened when they met in the hall was probably also something Mu Yi had planned long ago.
Ever since he came into contact with Mu Yi, he had been following the script written by Mu Yi, and he had always been a monkey being manipulated by Mu Yi...
.
"How... how could this be...?"
Unable to find the right expression to convey his shock, Tanluoxiu'er stared blankly at Lia below, who held the holy sword.
What... what on earth is going on? That person named Ying betrayed us? And that person is actually a girl?? It was clearly a man's voice when we were talking to her earlier...
Something's not right. That woman seems to know Mu Yi very well. They were standing together familiarly earlier, talking about something.
Could it be... that Ying is actually an undercover agent planted by Mu Yi long ago beside Royd...?
"Miss Aiva, is Leah alright...?"
Upon seeing the bloodstains on Leah's face, Aili hurriedly tugged at Aiva's sleeve, asking with a worried expression.
Although she witnessed Miss Leah's power, the demon was so terrifying that Miss Leah appeared so small in front of its enormous body.
Even though Miss Leah has defeated that demon, what if it still has some hidden trump card...?
"Don't worry, she's absolutely fine."
Aiva took Aili's small hand in return and smiled slightly. The demon's level was at most around 55.
Miss Lia is above level 60, and with the Sword Saint Armor and Holy Sword, she can now unleash strength at least level 65.
The gap in strength is insurmountable; that demon is no match for Leah.
"That's not necessarily true. Although Leah has the upper hand now, you all heard what that demon just said, right?"
"It seems that he is not the only demon who has come here. There are probably other accomplices lurking in this royal city."
"If three or four more demons of the same level come later, Leah will have a hard time dealing with them by herself."
Nora squinted and carefully examined Behemoth body was still stained with blood.
The demon's behavior just now didn't seem like a bluff; in fact, it did release a strange wave of demonic energy.
That must be some kind of distress signal. If, as that guy said, a new demon king is coming to reinforce them, then Leah is in trouble...
"They've arrived."
Lorris, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly looked up at the large black hole that was gradually cracking open above the ceiling.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared out of nowhere, and the dark opening seemed to emerge from the sky like a deep abyss.
The icy, bone-chilling demonic energy emanated from the void like venomous snakes, and its piercing cries caused intense air tremors.
"Wait... this aura seems familiar..."
Lorris frowned, her beautiful brows furrowed, and looked at the large, black void with a complicated expression. Something was wrong; this wasn't the demonic energy emanating from the hellish kings under Regid's command.
This aura felt extremely familiar to her, after all, she had recently been in contact with the owner of the demonic energy, but then the owner seemed to have suddenly disappeared without a trace.
But what's going on here? Why did Behemoth's call summon him? When did he get involved with Regid and the others?
"Lucifer..."
As the three figures gradually emerged from the void, Lorris's expression grew increasingly grim.
Lucifer... what exactly are you planning to do...? Are you also going to betray the Demon King...?
Chapter 48: The previous chapter was posted in the wrong place, this chapter is free.
"So this is Bolun Island? It certainly looks like a very nice location."
Qiao Xinying had already reached the outside of the hotel, pressed down on her sun hat and looked at the blue ocean in the distance.
The hotel is quite close to the beach, making it convenient for guests staying here to visit the beach. It's a bit of a shame that our accommodation wasn't located here.
Based on the current surrounding environment and the services and facilities of the hotels, the five-star hotels in the tourist area are clearly the best place to stay.
If that's the case, why did Mom go to the trouble of buying those villas for the award-winning class to live in? Wouldn't it be better to live in the hotel area near the beach?
"Perhaps Mom prefers quieter places away from the hustle and bustle?"
Qiao Xinying looked up at the cliff in the distance where a mountain peak could be vaguely seen rising from the sea. What was so good about living in a place like that?
Rather than seeing the villas in that location as a reward for the students, it was more of a trial and punishment.
She couldn't believe that the environment in that kind of place could be better than here. Even if a villa is exquisitely and luxuriously decorated, it would still be disliked if it didn't have a good environment.
"Miss Xinying, what are you thinking about? I've seen you standing here in a daze for a long time."
He Xue wasn't wearing a school uniform. After arriving here, she changed into a pure white fitted dress. The long dress, which just went past her knees, covered her fair and smooth thighs.
Her fair, delicate feet were wearing strappy high heels, and her jet-black hair was tied into pigtails with white hair ties, which she swayed back and forth.
The Bolun Island is located in the tropics, and is shrouded in high temperatures all year round with very little temperature variation, so the people here almost always wear very cool summer clothes.
One of the reasons this place is called a paradise is the high temperature, which is why female tourists who come here wear extremely cool and revealing clothing.
A diverse array of beautiful women from all over the world gather here, their dazzling breasts, shapely hips, and long, white legs creating a stunning spectacle that attracts men.
"Hmm? No, I was just wondering what the villa we're going to look like."
"I think the hotels here are already very good. If possible, I think it would be very comfortable to stay here."
Qiao Xinying glanced at the hotel entrance behind her and shrugged. She actually quite liked this hotel.
Because the hotel has a huge swimming pool, she doesn't have any other hobbies; her only favorite thing is to swim in the water like a fish.
Swimming brings her great satisfaction and allows her to let go of all her worries and fully enjoy that fleeting time.
"Yes, I just took a short walk around the hotel, and the conditions and environment here are indeed very good."
"But since Principal Qiao Ranxin has prepared a luxury villa as a reward for the class that won the lottery, I think that villa must be pretty good."
He Xue stroked her chin thoughtfully, but her eyes kept glancing at Qiao Xinying's profile and face.
As if confirming something, He Xue couldn't help but reach out and touch Qiao Xinying's smooth, silver-gray hair.
Yes, she was right that night. The silver-haired girl who walked out of the cabin with Wu Liang, wearing only a lace nightgown, was indeed Qiao Xinying.
It's no wonder she's the girl who was betrothed to Wu Liang when they were young. Even though Wu Liang was so sick from seasickness that he couldn't get out of bed, he was still willing to meet with Miss Qiao Xinying privately so late at night.
While on the ship, Wu Liang refused to see anyone, and even Miss Shi couldn't get close to him or take care of him, but Miss Qiao Xinying did.
As Wu Liang's fiancée, Qiao Xinying easily arranged to meet Wu Liang late at night to enjoy the scenery and have a late-night chat on the deck.
Could this be considered Wu Liang's special treatment of Miss Qiao Xinying? She seemed so indifferent in class before, but secretly the two of them have a very good relationship.
"He Xue? Is there something on my face?"
Feeling uncomfortable under He Xue's intense gaze, Qiao Xinying smiled awkwardly and pointed at He Xue's cheek.
The piercing gaze, like a needle prick, suddenly gave her goosebumps all over her arm; she felt that He Xue's gaze was somewhat strange.
Although she knew the other person meant no harm, being stared at like that was still a bit...
"It's nothing, I'm just marveling at how amazing it is when the attributes of childhood sweetheart and wife who falls from the sky are combined into one."
He Xue smiled brightly, her beautiful eyes narrowing into crescent moons.
It is said that green plums are no match for those falling from the sky, but what is unexpected is that the combination of these two special attributes has such terrifying destructive power.
Even the unwavering Wu Liang was defeated by this, which shows that Miss Qiao Xinying holds a very high position in Wu Liang's heart.
"?"
Qiao Xinying didn't quite understand He Xue was saying, and could only tilt her head to express her confusion.
"It seems we can't just sit here and wait to die... It's time to discuss a battle plan with Xiao Yu and the others..."
He Xue stretched vigorously and then turned around to look at Han Yu, Yao Shi, and the others who were gradually walking out of the hotel.
The appearance of Miss Qiao Xinying has already disrupted the current situation, and her status as a fiancée has the power to turn the tide.
It's time to launch the final assault. It's about time that I, the 'vehicle' who's been staying in the back and playing a supporting role from the beginning, stepped onto the front lines.
Miss Shi, who is also a 'chariot', and Miss Xiao Yu and Miss Milutin, who are 'cannons', are only one step away from the finish line, while Su Qian and Ning Shuang, who are 'horses', have almost reached the finish line as well.
Even Teacher Ye has now surpassed her. If she continues to watch from the sidelines, she may very well miss out on the last piece of the pie.
Although she really enjoyed seeing Miss Shi, Miss Milutin, Xiao Yu, and everyone else happily chatting and playing around Wu Liang.
It is indeed a wonderful thing that everyone is happily sharing Wu Liang's life, but the current situation is coming to an end, and it is time for her, who has fallen behind, to integrate into the group.
"He Xue?"
Seeing that He Xue hadn't moved for a while, Qiao Xinying walked over to He Xue gently patted her shoulder.
"Miss Qiao, let's go. Principal Qiao Ranxin's car has arrived."
A glint of hidden brilliance flashed in the depths of He Xue's eyes. This long journey might just be the final outcome.
Who gets to eat the first piece of cake? That's up to everyone's skill...
Chapter 49: Let's Go Hiking!
The crashing waves below pounded against the boulders at the bottom of the cliff, creating splashes of water. The sheer cliffs, dozens of meters above the sea, were a chilling sight.
The villa that Qiao Ranxin arranged for Wu Liang and the others was located on the top of a cliff next to the sea. The mountain road leading to the villa was extremely complicated, with steep slopes and rocks everywhere.
There is only one mountain road leading to the villa area, but because it is surrounded by dense forests on both sides and the road is uneven and has never been maintained, large sightseeing vehicles cannot go up the mountain.
If they insist on forcing their way through the mountain road, they will probably break down halfway and be unable to move. This is a problem that the locals have not been able to solve for many years, and it is certainly not something that can be solved in such a short time.
So a very interesting scene has unfolded on this mountain path surrounded by dense forest. Because the bus cannot go up the mountain, the students who were dropped off at the foot of the mountain can only carry their bags and walk into the mountain with grim faces and gritting their teeth.
But this is, after all, a steep slope covered with gravel and potholes, which requires a lot of physical strength and willpower. It is relatively easier for boys, but girls obviously can't handle it.
In addition, most of the girls were pampered young ladies at home and had never suffered like this before. They started complaining with gloomy faces after only a short while.
