Chapter 62: Chapter 61: The Arrival of the Void Beast (Second Update)_1
Watching as there was only the last fifty meters to go, Fang Ren had already pulled a hundred meters ahead of Sun Yan and the others behind him! His speed remained unchanged, and the finish line had been strung up ahead of him.
Mu Huanqing had been waiting at the finish line with a bottle of mineral water for a while, and as she watched Fang Ren running towards her, a happy smile spread across her face.
"Ah! Keep it up, scumbag!"
"Victory to the scumbag! Ah!"
Just as he was about to reach the finish line, Fang Ren could clearly hear the girls from the medical department's class three yelling, and it almost made him trip and fall.
Smack—
As Fang Ren crossed the finish line, all the students from the medical department burst into an uproar, the scene turning rowdy.
It wasn't unprecedented for an ordinary person to win against cultivators at a campus sports event, but such an outcome was almost impossible in long-distance running due to the extreme test of endurance. Even if there had been one or two narrow victories in the school's history, this was.
A margin of victory of over a hundred meters like this was unheard of, it was a total rout!
After crossing the finish line, Fang Ren ran straight to Mu Huanqing, lifting her high into his arms and burying his face in her silver hair.
"Awoo!"
Watching a scene that seemed to occur at almost every sports event, the entire spectator stand howled.
"Sis, your boyfriend is so awesome!"
...
"Put me down! So many people are watching!"
Mu Huanqing's cheeks turned red as she lightly pinched his waist with her hand.
"So what, we're all adults," Fang Ren laughed as he put her down.
"You jerk!"
Mu Huanqing kicked him lightly, her face getting redder with the noise all around, and she bent down to unscrew the cap of the mineral water for him.
Fang Ren smiled, took a few sips of the water she had given him, and sneakily kissed her forehead when she wasn't paying attention.
"You..."
Mu Huanqing pinched his waist again.
"Damn! I recognize him! That's the beast who was showing off in the cafeteria!"
"Damn! I'm so jealous! How lucky must he be to have met a goddess like that!"
The group of instructors in the stands could only smile at the sight, reminiscing that youth was indeed wonderful. This was college, not high school, and they had seen this kind of scene many times.
By the time Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing, along with the medical department's class three cheerleading squad, had left the field, Sun Yan and the other three were just crossing the finish line.
"Damn it! What the hell is this talisman paper!" Sun Yan, furious, threw a punch at the air, watching Fang Ren's departing figure with increasingly venomous eyes.
Meanwhile, up in the stands, Wang Baidai immediately took out his phone to make a call, his expression equally ferocious.
"Beep beep beep... Hello, the mobile phone you have dialed is switched off..."
"Shit! Is Leader Sha playing us?" Wang Baidai bashed the railing with his fist, saying viciously.
"Dad, calm down, how could a man like Leader Sha make a joke at a time like this?" Wang Cang frowned as he looked across the track and field.
Meanwhile, at a restaurant outside, Sha Baihe was still sitting at the table sipping his drink, with a small tablet computer in front of him displaying a string of rapidly updating information.
What he gave to Wang Cang wasn't an assassination charm at all, but a Teleportation Talisman used to transport Void Monsters. All those claims about taking lives within three meters were fabricated by him, just to make Wang Cang believe his words.
As for when the Teleportation Talisman would be activated, he didn't care, as long as it was brought into the school and within a four-hundred-meter range of Fang Ren.
When the formidable Void beast appeared, half the school would be annihilated in an instant, and Lin Bozhong's power alone wouldn't be enough to withstand it. Even if he chose to protect Fang Ren and escape, he would be gravely injured by the aftermath of the Void beast.
Then, when they made their move, everything would be easy to handle.
"Brother Sha! We've completed our investigation! Apart from Lin Bozhong, we also found a woman in black lurking in the shadows. We're not sure which power she belongs to," a man's voice came from the computer.
Upon hearing this, Sha Baihe frowned, but he was glad he hadn't hastily activated the Teleportation Talisman and instead had his people scout the campus perimeter. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known how many experts were protecting Fang Ren, and if they failed to kill him, they would be doomed.
"How strong is that woman?" Sha Baihe asked.
"The woman is in the same realm as you, but I don't think she's from the Fang Family's left faction."
"State your reasons."
"According to our observations, the woman has been watching a female student inside the school and hasn't paid much attention to Fang Ren's surroundings. Moreover, her clothes are adorned with two opposing silver blades," was the reply.
"Two opposing silver blades... A guard from the Liu Family?" Sha Baihe murmured, his brow furrowing further as if he had just remembered something. "Didn't the Liu Family's Miss Liu disappear from home three years ago, and isn't this city where she was rumored to be?"
"That... I remember the rumor back then said she went to a small county town; could it be... that girl is Miss Liu?"
"Very likely," Sha Baihe relaxed his furrowed brows and smiled, "The Fang Family's left faction really has no one else but Lin Bozhong they can send right now. Since that woman is Miss Liu's Guard, then she's a friend, not a foe to us."
"True, Miss Liu is set to become Mr. Li Zhong's wife, so her guard would surely help our right faction."
"Nonsense!" Sha Baihe said, "Although the Liu Family will stand with our right faction in the future, we can't let her know about the crime of releasing the Void beast!"
"So, Brother Sha, what do we do?"
"We proceed with the plan! That woman will definitely be able to keep Miss Liu safe, and no one will know the Void beast was released by us."
------
Although Fang Ren had already finished the 1500-meter run early and returned to his class's team, there were still students from other classes left with one lap to go on the track. There wasn't much to see, but there was value in the spirit of persevering to the end.
Sun Yan, with a face full of anger, cut across the track to pick up the number plate he had dropped there earlier.
But as soon as his hand was about to touch the number plate, a blue light suddenly radiated from it and shot up into the sky!
Humm——
The blue pillar of light pierced through the clouds, and the clouds in the sky were churned into a vortex. The sound roared like thunder, startling everyone at the entire sports field.
Being too close, Sun Yan was directly swept up into the sky by the pillar of light, but fortunately, as a Cultivator, he used sword flight to escape in the sky.
"What the hell... is this an assassination charm?" Sun Yan looked at the massive blue pillar of light and felt panic surge within him.
The students in the stands became even more restless because with the appearance of the pillar of light, the ground of the entire field started to shake, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"What is this thing?"
"It seemed like it was Sun Yan who caused it just now."
The instructor on the hosting stage widened his eyes, almost unable to speak as he looked at the pillar of light: "This... this is a teleportation formation!"
"Teleportation formation?"
"Ah? Can teleportation formations be this huge? The rune master who can create such a formation must be at least at the Grandmaster level, right?"
"What's inside it?"
"What the hell is going on! Is Sun Yan not convinced just because he lost?"
As the sports field became more and more unrestful, the pillar of light began to rapidly expand, and a huge dark shadow inside gradually came into view of the people.
"This is! This is the aura of the Void!"
One of the instructors on the stands trembled all over, immediately ran to the hosting stage, grabbed the microphone, and shouted, "Run! Everyone, evacuate from here quickly! Hurry up!"
"Ah? What on earth is happening?"
"Damn it, why care so much, whatever is inside mustn't be anything good! Run quickly!"
"Hurry up! Don't grab anything! Go!" the instructor on the hosting stage yelled frantically: "There's something from the Void inside! If you don't run, you'll definitely die!
Hurry up and run!"
"Ah? The Void!"
"Shit! What are you waiting for! It's life or death!"
"Ahh!"
Instantly, the sports field was filled with screams, as fifteen thousand people quickly fled outwards.
Many students from the Cultivation System immediately took to the skies with their sword flight. Though their characters were not exemplary on regular days, when faced with a crisis, they still remembered to grab a few classmates who couldn't cultivate and took them flying out to safety.
Meanwhile, on the hosting stage, a dark shadow flashed by, and a woman in black landed directly in front of Liu Qianqian.
"Miss Liu, please leave with me!"
Before Liu Qianqian could even speak, the woman in black had already grabbed her and flown away.
"Who is that!"
The group of instructors on the hosting stage were all baffled.
Mu Huanqing stood motionless in the stands, staring at the dark shadow in the sky. Her fists clenched tightly, her expression was cold, and her pupils were beginning to turn silver.
A Void Beast! Inside was a giant monster from the Void!
Seeing her motionless, Fang Ren immediately rushed over, picked her up, and ran towards the outside of the field.
"Young master!"
Lin Bozhong, dressed in a white robe, flew to Fang Ren's side and immediately proceeded to take him and Mu Huanqing away towards the exterior.
However, just at that moment, the pillar of light in the sky suddenly vanished and a shadow, over thirty meters tall with a body as massive as a mountain, fell from the sky.
Boom——
With the shadow hitting the ground, the earth cracked open. Before the true form of the dark giant could be discerned, waves of purple fluctuation kept spreading from the shadow, shockingly surging outward.
Wherever it passed, stones shattered, and dust filled the air!
"Gathering wind technique! Thousand walls!"
Lin Bozhong, seeing the rolling purple waves coming, realized there was no time to flee and immediately released all his True Qi, slamming his palm onto the ground in front of him.
In a flash, a hundred-meter-tall wall of wind surged from the ground, shielding all the students within a hundred-meter radius.
A sound like thunder exploded, the purple surge smashed into the wall of wind, which instantly crumbled, and Lin Bozhong was sent tumbling backward by the force. However, the purple light waves also came to a halt.
Lin Bozhong's wall of wind merely blocked an area of around one hundred meters. The students within this barrier remained unharmed, but the majority outside that range were not so lucky.
"Ahh!!"
"Help me!"
"My hand! Ah…"
Many students hadn't managed to run far enough and were directly blown into the air by the purple light waves, with some dying on the spot.
Even the students farther away were affected; at least two thousand people were blown far off, bloodied all over, fainting at various locations throughout the campus.
