Tang Tian ran over first, checked on A'mori, and seeing that he was not seriously injured, he ran off to collect his spoils with a spring in his step.
Everyone tactfully turned their gazes to the side, and the three big shots set a fine example.
The three big shots felt awkward and began to pretend to discuss the matter.
"There's something wrong with this situation," Liang Qiu said with a serious expression.
"That's right. It's very wrong. The light shield and the rocks are different. I suspect someone has tampered with them. Otherwise, this is just a setup," Sima Xiangshan, a conspiracy theorist, said with his eyes shining like a cat in the dark.
The crowd, who had been listening intently to the three, immediately became tense, as they all sensed something was amiss. Now, hearing even the three big shots say so, the atmosphere became tense and oppressive.
At this moment, an excited voice suddenly rang out.
"Ah ha! This guy is indeed a fat sheep! Wow wow wow! A fourth-rank silver card, oh oh oh! A fourth-rank starstone!"
All the solemn and oppressive atmosphere immediately dissipated.
Liang Qiu silently thought: Just a silver card... Just a starstone... Are you doing this on purpose...
Sima Xiangshan silently thought: Keep up the act, please, at least make it more convincing. A silver card and a starstone are too fake!
Han Bingning silently thought: Keep up the act...
The corners of the eyes of those around them twitched, but they continued to pretend they hadn't heard. Tang Tian, this ruthless killer, must not be offended. Seeing how Tang Tian killed Zhou Peng so cleanly and without hesitation, it was like slaughtering a chicken. Even the Zhou family suffered as a result.
Such a person cannot be offended!
"Wow! This guy has it too!"
"Wow! This is a good thing!"
The three big shots looked at each other and tactfully shut up. Discussing such a serious topic in such a bizarre atmosphere was too difficult.
Suddenly, a loud boom echoed, and countless rocks fell.
Huh?
Tang Tian stopped and looked up. It was above them.
He had reached an extremely sensitive level with shock and explosive forces. The vibration from his feet immediately told him that the source of the tremor was above their heads.
"They are above us!" Tang Tian shouted to Han Bingning, as he was most familiar with her.
If it were Sima Xiangshan, he might still doubt whether Tang Tian had any ulterior motives, but Han Bingning would not. She suddenly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Which senior uses a hammer?"
"I'll go!" A big man stepped forward, holding a long-handled pumpkin hammer, a huge iron hammer that made people draw in a breath. The big man's body was like a bronze statue, even more imposing than A'mori.
The big man took a deep breath and suddenly roared, leaping up and swinging the pumpkin hammer, which glowed yellow, at the cave ceiling!
Boom!
The rock ceiling collapsed, and countless rocks fell.
A shadow of a whip suddenly wrapped around the big man, and it was Sima Xiangshan. With a flick of his wrist, the big man's massive body was thrown to the side.
Several figures fell down.
"Principal!" "Principal!"
Several people exclaimed in shock.
Tang Tian exclaimed, "Old man, you're here too!"
Principal Tianjing, Principal Beiyang, Principal Beast, and Old Wei surrounded a person.
Mr. Wu!
All of them were injured, clearly having been through a fierce battle.
"Hei, Mr. Wu, you can't escape!" Principal Beast said with a grin. "You've set up such a big scheme, your ambitions are not small!"
"I advise you to confess!" Principal Beiyang said with a cold snort.
Principal Tianjing looked at Old Wei, who glared back. "What are you looking at?"
Principal Tianjing snorted. "You must have figured it out. We've been partners for twenty years; I can see through your thoughts with one glance."
All the students were shocked, even the other two principals were taken aback. This unremarkable-looking old man was actually Principal Tianjing's former partner. What was his background?
Sima Xiangshan and Shen Yuan were dumbfounded. They had heard that Old Wei and the principal had arguments, but no one expected that they were once partners. Shen Yuan's face turned pale and his heart raced. If this was the case, weren't Tianjing and Sachima colleges sister schools? Then his trouble with Sachima College...
Principal Tianjing had a high reputation in Starwind City. No one knew his background, but everyone knew he was extremely powerful and upright, never showing favoritism.
Old Wei laughed. "Of course I figured it out, but it's not hard to say. Those few secret treasures will be mine! My Sachima College is small and poor, and the two students have nothing. How pitiful!"
Sima Xiangshan and the others all had strange expressions. Indeed, the top is crooked, and the bottom follows. This Old Wei and Tang Tian are of the same kind!
"Fine!" Principal Beiyang agreed straightforwardly.
"I have no problem either!" Principal Beast nodded.
Old Wei's strength surprised the two principals. The three bronze secret treasures meant nothing to them. They were willing to make friends with him for such a small price.
"Alright, speak. No one will fight you for it." Principal Tianjing snorted.
"Can you guess? Ha ha!" Mr. Wu laughed. "With just the four of you, how could you break my scheme? Call out the real experts behind you!"
"I can't guess?" Old Wei sneered. "I saw [Blood Eye] and understood. Let me tell you, coincidentally, I also have a Microscope constellation secret treasure. [Blood Eye], a Microscope constellation bronze secret treasure, has only one function: to identify the quality of bloodlines. I'm not wrong, am I!"
"You..." Mr. Wu's expression froze.
"This is easy to guess. You set up such a big scheme and had the city lord move the martial meeting here. You were probably after the bloodlines. Let me guess further, you have a secret technique to refine bloodlines, but it requires specific blood and a large amount. If you did this in any constellation of the Heavenly Path, it would attract attention. So you came to this remote planet, Wu'an. You set up this scheme under the guise of reclamation. Even if many people died, no one would suspect you. How could reclamation not result in deaths? Even if many people died, it would be normal!"
Old Wei looked at Mr. Wu coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"The Star Gate is real, and the Soul Maze is real. In the face of benefits, everyone would lose their heads. You just needed to act quietly, collect blood, analyze it with Blood Eye, find your targets, and make them disappear quietly, refining the bloodlines you need. You set up the entire Soul Maze, but you didn't expect to fail at the last moment."
Old Wei stared at Mr. Wu, speaking slowly and deliberately. "Am I right? Mr. Black Soul!"
Mr. Wu looked at Old Wei with fear. "You... Who are you?"
"Wow! Old man, you're so awesome!" Tang Tian exclaimed in shock.
All the tension immediately dissipated, and Old Wei's mysterious demeanor crumbled.
Old Wei's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but turn his face and curse, "If you don't shut up, you'll die!"
"Why should I shut up!" Tang Tian looked puzzled.
Old Wei helplessly turned his face and looked at Principal Tianjing. "There you go, that's about it." He added, "Remember, the bronze secret treasures are mine!"
Mr. Wu suddenly looked up and screamed with all his might, "Who? Who ruined my plans! Come out! Come out!"
"Don't shout. The senior must have seen your evil deeds and decided to punish you a bit," Old Wei said smugly. "Just confess and accept your punishment. It will save us some effort."
"Right!" Principal Beiyang, who hated evil, snorted. "It must be a senior who couldn't bear to see your evil deeds!"
They all understood that a senior must have helped them. Otherwise, with their strength, they couldn't have broken the scheme. The power changes in the Soul Maze were unpredictable, and with the three bronze secret treasures, it was flawless. They had been inside for so long and hadn't noticed.
"Hum, do you think you can stop me?" Mr. Wu sneered, his fear gone, and his aura rising. He said in a deep voice, "Since you won't come out, I'll force you to!"
Mr. Wu held a slender black rapier, the tip of which bent slightly. The blade hummed, making everyone's ears ring.
His figure moved like a ghost, a black shadow flashing, as fast as lightning, straight for Principal Beiyang.
"Be careful! It's the Flying Fish constellation bronze secret treasure [Sashimi Sword]!" Old Wei quickly warned.
Principal Beiyang shouted, undaunted, and his sword movements were like a rainstorm. The other three didn't hesitate and attacked simultaneously.
The air was filled with explosive energy.
The surrounding people were shocked and retreated. The force of the collision of fifth-rank true energy was destructive.
Sima Xiangshan, Han Bingning, and Liang Qiu didn't retreat. They held their weapons, ready to support. Tang Tian didn't retreat either; such a powerful confrontation was rare to witness.
Mr. Wu's strength was astonishing. He fought against four and held his ground. His figure was so fast that Tang Tian could only see a black blur, unable to make out his form. The slender and flexible rapier in Mr. Wu's hand was full of killing power.
However, from the previous battle, Mr. Wu was already injured. Blood began to seep through his clothes, and his sword movements slowed.
The four principals clearly had rich combat experience and fought calmly, clearly intending to wear Mr. Wu down.
Mr. Wu also sensed their intentions and suddenly reversed his true energy, his face turning a lurid red. His speed suddenly increased, and the rapier in his hand made a sharp, piercing sound.
The other four became serious, knowing this was Mr. Wu's last desperate attack, and they all exerted their full strength.
Mr. Wu's figure darted left and right, and the formation of the four showed a slight shift. A cold light flashed in Mr. Wu's eyes, and he moved, deceiving the four. He roared, and the rapier in his hand suddenly emitted a blinding light.
Boom!
The slender rapier exploded, breaking into dozens of pieces, like a rainstorm, shooting out in all directions, making a sharp, whistling sound. The four changed their expressions and quickly defended themselves, protecting their fronts.
Taking advantage of this, Mr. Wu's figure slipped out of the battle like an eel.
Liang Qiu's martial arts, Sima Xiangshan's whip, and Han Bingning's sword whistled and arrived together. The three were smart; they just needed to hold Mr. Wu for a moment.
Mr. Wu took a deep breath, his face turning even redder. His sleeves billowed, and he clashed with the three.
Boom!
The sleeves instantly tore apart, revealing his arms, which were torn and bleeding.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Mr. Wu's mouth, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Using this force, he suddenly accelerated.
Tang Tian was stunned; Mr. Wu was charging straight at him.
