In ancient times, there was a Clan Emperor known as Firestarter, who was worshipped for bringing fire to the world. However, few knew that Firestarter had obtained fire even before using the method of friction to create it.
That fire was the Sun True Fire.
Although Sun True Fire is on the same level as True Fire, it is not a fire that lasts forever. Why? Because each type of flame has different characteristics, and the characteristic of True Fire is that it can ignite all things. However, Sun True Fire does not have the same property; it requires righteous energy as fuel to burn. Therefore, after obtaining Sun True Fire, Firestarter realized that this flame was not something everyone could master, making it difficult to spread, which is why the method of friction to create fire was developed.
Yet, the Sun True Fire within Firestarter continued to burn. Later, Firestarter's descendants ignited a lower-level flame known as Yang Fire based on the foundation of Firestarter's Sun True Fire.
While Yang Fire is not as powerful as Sun True Fire, it is still a righteous flame. Moreover, Yang Fire can use Evil Energy as fuel, but it can only burn in sunlight.
Thus, for Evil Cultivators, Yang Fire can be considered their nemesis!
The Old Corpse had a patch of Yang Fire on its clothing, and Corpse Qi was also an object of Yang Fire's combustion. Before long, the Old Corpse's back caught fire from Yang Fire.
With a slight lift of my index finger, the wooden sword flew back into my hand. After all, a light sword cannot block attacks; having a wooden sword in hand feels more reliable.
Suddenly, I sensed a drop in temperature around me, as if something else was descending.
"Caw Caw, I am Black Wuchang," the girl suddenly let out an eerie laugh. "Not bad."
Looking at Girl Corpse again, her pupils had changed from grayish-white to black. She had been controlled by someone.
"Who exactly are you?"
If I guessed correctly, this should be the mastermind behind everything. I couldn't understand why he would go to such lengths to attack our school. Was he trying to oppose us? No, with his strength, he could only bully subordinate units like ours; any general could easily handle him. Was it because he lacked strength and could only seek revenge?
"What am I? Hahaha, I almost forgot you didn't ask." Girl Corpse laughed loudly.
Taking advantage of this moment, I directly thrust the Peach Wood Sword into Girl Corpse's mouth.
"Clash, fighting, and still have time to laugh? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
The Black Corpse Qi continuously surged out from the girl's mouth, preventing her from speaking further. However, this did not stop the voice from echoing in my mind—telepathy!
The voice directly reached my brain.
"You have your eyes on her!"
I looked up and saw several dark shadows flashing by, seemingly holding a girl—Wang Ni!
"Wang Ni is your target, isn't she?" I boldly lied to him, though I was merely guessing.
"Yes, but unfortunately that useless Mr. Cui can't do anything; I'll have to take matters into my own hands."
Mr. Cui? The one who treats people like flowers? Damn, it seems that the Ghostly Blood Shadow Soldiers were also his doing. How could a Taoist from Longhu Mountain possess such advanced Evil Techniques to cultivate people? It turns out it was all taught by this guy in front of me.
The reason Mr. Cui previously let Wang Ni go was that she was a good person; he probably just needed her as a cover to make his move again.
It seems he has indeed succeeded now, but why did he capture Wang Ni? Could it be related to the immense power within her?
I withdrew my Peach Wood Sword and prepared to rise to save Wang Ni.
"Caw Caw, I am Black Wuchang. Just watch," the girl said this time with her mouth open.
A faint glow began to appear on the girl, a greenish light that started as small dots and soon enveloped her entire being, transforming her into a mass of green gas.
I stood up to dodge, but the gas was already rushing toward me. In mid-air, I could only cross my wooden sword and light sword in front of my chest to block it.
Green Energy was split into two when it came into contact with the lightsaber; one dissipated slowly, while the other circled around behind me.
Just as Green Energy was about to touch me, it was blocked by something. What was it? My Azure Robe.
The Azure Robe is truly remarkable. I have sat on the ground, laid down, and even rolled around; the only thing I haven't done is crawl on the floor. Yet, the Azure Robe remains spotless, impervious to any dark energy or Corpse Qi that cannot penetrate this thin layer of Azure Robe.
This time was no exception. The moment Green Energy made contact with the Azure Robe, my Three Azure Flowers spun on my back, forcefully keeping Green Energy at bay.
However, this brief delay allowed the shadow carrying Wang Ni to nearly reach the edge.
Damn! I threw my wooden sword to the ground in frustration; it was all my fault that Wang Ni was taken away.
“Thief, where do you think you're going!” A powerful voice echoed from above.
Hearing that familiar voice, I looked up in surprise, my earlier disappointment replaced with hope. It seemed that Wang Ni was saved!
A towering figure appeared in the sky, standing hundreds of meters tall, with feet planted on a Mountain, wielding a Long-Handled Axe majestically in hand.
The only downside was that this person had no head, with a bare upper body refined to perfection, using breasts for eyes and a navel for a mouth, wearing a piece of Fur around the waist and barefoot.
Uncle Xing, execution!
Uncle Xing finally appeared at this critical moment; I thought he had already received word and fled.
However, given Uncle Xing's temperament, upon hearing someone challenging him, he would not only stay but might even want them to bring more people so he could have more fun fighting.
As expected, Uncle Xing exuded dominance and silenced those shadows with just one sentence.
Uncle Xing raised the wooden staff and drew a line in front of him, sending a wave of Radiance that swept the dark figures back into J University.
The reason Uncle Xing didn't strike down with the staff directly was that he didn't want to hit Wang Ni along with them.
The dark figures, along with Wang Ni, were pushed back to the teaching building where Red Boy and I had relocated the students. That building was also the outermost one, as we had relied on the surrounding wall to help the girls escape at that time.
I quickly activated Wind Walk, leaping across the rooftops of several teaching buildings, and caught Wang Ni before she crashed into the building.
The remaining dark figures were not so fortunate. Even though Uncle Xing only made a feint with the staff in mid-air, the residual force still caused these figures to continue retreating as they collided with the building, embedding them deep into its walls.
Slamming you against the wall, you wouldn't be able to peel yourself off!
Wang Ni remained motionless, as if she had been struck at a pressure point; her breathing was very steady, indicating she wasn't knocked out.
"Apologies," I murmured, knowing that the pressure point was located on her neck while the release point was near her collarbone.
I hoped Wang Ni wouldn't wake up immediately; it would be too unfortunate to hurt one of our own.
I closed my eyes and silently recited "Calming Mantra" several times before reaching out to press on Wang Ni.
It seemed my aim was off; I pressed too low and then too high before finally hitting the right spot. Phew.
About three seconds later, Wang Ni opened her eyes.
"Was that comfortable?" Wang Ni asked coldly.
"Weren't you unconscious?" I exclaimed in panic, realizing I had slipped up.
"Of course!" A blush appeared on Wang Ni's face. "Does fainting mean you lose all sensation?"
Damn it, I messed up! I forgot that even someone who has fainted can still retain their sense of touch.
"This isn't my first time unblocking acupoints, is it?" I argued anxiously; I had to hurry, as it was a matter of life and death.
"Keep making excuses," Wang Ni said coldly, "You, someone from Cultivation, can't even grasp the acupoints? Are you trying to fool me?"
I initially thought about straightening my back and saying, "So what if I did it?" At least that way, I could die more heroically. But then I realized that if I were to be killed for the crime of 'indecent assault,' how heroic would that really be? So I decided to back down.
After all this commotion, the shadows in the teaching building had already crawled out from the walls. There were more than ten people in total, and upon closer inspection, they looked just like the Invaders who had attacked the students at the beginning.
The Invaders crawled out of the walls and charged toward me and Wang Ni. However, one figure suddenly erupted with a large burst of Ghost Fire and shot off toward outside the school.
That must be the mastermind behind it all. He probably thought he couldn't take on Uncle Xing and wanted to use the Invaders as cover to escape.
The so-called persuasion through virtue is only because one cannot win; otherwise, who would dare to defy someone stronger? That's why Uncle Xing's approach has always been to subdue through strength first.
"Little Anzi, I'll leave the rest to you," Uncle Xing said before shrinking his form and chasing after the fleeing figure.
What? Uncle Xing, come back! I can't handle this alone!
