The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 744 - Horror

Sword Ancestor couldn't let Fallblade die. At least, not here in their academy. He was just here to help. There's no need for him to sacrifice his life for the academy. As a matter of fact, it was already enough that he had chosen the academy's side.

However, the three elders were in his way thus he couldn't help Fallblade immediately.

The spectators couldn't help but shudder in fright. Although the academy wasn't part of the strongest powerhouses in Nine Heavens, they held a strong reputation and firm foundation. After all, it was created by Sword Dao Monarch, a once capable and brilliant monarch of his era.

Furthermore, it was part of the turf of a legendary existence who were people most afraid of. The Ancient Pugans were actually very brave to actually touch his reverse scale.

"Ancestor, I advise you not to retaliate more or you'll get hurt." Crestflow said with amiable tone, "You're already too old with this, why don't you just rest in your chamber and recuperate in peace? Of course, please hand over the item first."

"Crestflow, I never have expected that you will be such a disappointment." Sword Ancestor looked at him and shook his head.

"That, I don't care, Sword Master." Crestflow said, "Hand over the item right now so that we don't have to do hurt you anymore."

"You want it? You get it yourself." Sword Ancestor smiled mysteriously, "However, I wonder if you will be able to get it?"

The ancestor's smile was so mysterious that Crestflow felt something wasn't right. He knew the ancestor well as he was with him in the past for years. This smile was something with a deep meaning, however the meaning wasn't something he could ponder over.

"What do you mean?" Crestflow felt that something was not going according to the plan and it wasn't something he wanted to happen.

Sword Ancestor smiled and said, "It's just that you chose the wrong time to pick a fight with our academy."

The Ancient Pugans also felt something wasn't right. They immediately scanned the maximum radius of their abilities and see if there's someone hiding. However, they didn't feel anyone nearby except the bystanders.

Nevertheless, the uneasy feeling was still there as if death was creeping its way towards them. It was a feeling that they only felt against a single entity.

Step. Step. Step.

Then suddenly, loud but light steps could be heard. It was obvious that it came from a person, thus everyone's attention was focused on the newcomer.

The elders of Ancient Pugans widened their eyes in horror as they saw the person. He changed his flesh and appearance but they couldn't be mistaken when they felt the aura coming from the person.

"Impossible..." Old Black felt his reality warping several times. How was that possible that this existence was still alive? He never crossed out this possibility but to think that it'd truly come true?

Even the monk and Old Bald was in horror. This was the worst possible scenario they could have.

"I was thinking of showing up later on. But seeing that you cannot contain yourselves more, I have no choice but to step up." Jin Rou said as he was walking leisurely on the ground. He looked at the three elders and chuckled, "It's been a while since I see you come out in public. How have you all been?"

Those eyes were the eyes of predator who caught its prey.

"Bastard, why are you still alive?!" Old White was usually calm and could control his emotions well. However, seeing this person brought countless horrors and trauma that he had forced to forget.

Han Li was the sole reason why their Ancient Pugan was hiding in the darkness as of now, unable to see the light again. He thought that it'd be high time that they seize this opportunity now that Han Li was gone to make a comeback.

But who would have thought that the bastard was still alive?

"How can I die when you all are still alive and healthy?" Jin Rou smirked. According to Han Li's memories, he had a deep grudge against the Ancient Pugans as they were the cause of billions of casualties in the past.

Old Monk said with a grave tone, "We have to run away now!"

They were all confident a while ago. However, it was a different story when a monster of Han Li's level was present. Not even the Nine Heavens Asuras had the capability of defeating him, what more for this elders which was too old to exert their power during their prime states?

Right now, there was no choice but to run and preserve their lives. They hugely miscalculated this time and their lives were on the line.

Unfortunately, they couldn't run away. They looked at Jin Rou as if he was a monster they were most afraid of.

"Why leave so soon? Stay forever, you know?" Jin Rou finally floated. He looked like an emperor of all ages, ready to bring destruction to his enemies

Crestflow flew towards the elders with a grave tone and said, "This place is locked and we cannot leave unless the one who made this barrier permits us to."

"We know that." Old Black was getting agitated, "Do you have a way to breakthrough? As you have felt, we have no match against that monster. It has lived for who knows how long now?"

The three elders were just normal level elders of Ancient Pugans. However, with the race's current situation right now, they had a high status to speak of.

"I do. But it may take some time." Crestflow said. He had accumulated many treasures in the past and there was one who could let them escape here. Of course, with the right price to pay.

"How much do you need?" Old Black said. He was the calmer of the three elders thus he do the talking.

"Five minutes." Crestflow said with a heavy heart.

"That's too long. Han Li will never let us buy that much time." Old Black shook his head. Their lives were in extreme danger right now and they were currently locked out. Five minutes were not long, but in their situation, it felt like forever.

"Shorten it to three minutes. Use whatever means you have at your disposal. If you successfully let us out here, we will compensate you according to your expenses plus the scroll you want from our race." Old Black gave a tempting offer. The scroll had significant value for their ancient race but it didn't value more than their lives. It was a good deal as long as they could get out of here alive.
