Chapter 1344: The Demon Armament Demon Mask!

Wu Dijian’s reaction was remarkably fast, but it wasn’t so he could run away. The man being controlled by the demon armament ‘Demon Mask’ was no longer a man, but a ‘monster’. There was no running away from such a beast. The smarter thing to do was...fly off into a crowd of people to his left!

“Ahh!! What are you doing?! Don’t come over here!!”

It went without saying that the people who saw Wu Dijian come over were frightened out of their minds. Scattering like chickens among wolves, they flew each and every way to get away from Wu Dijian and the ‘monster’. The one who screamed, a Mid-stage Soul King from the Liang, sent a blade of energy toward Wu Dijian as if to stop him from approaching.

“Hey!!”

Wu Dijian laughed at the attempt. Brandishing his own weapon, he canceled out the attack with a dark-blue beam of his own before rushing headfirst at the next closest person!

It seemed laughable that the Mid-stage Soul King would even hope to impede Wu Dijian, a Peak Late-stage Soul King. A soul attack was launched before the Mid-stage Soul King could even react, causing him to be briefly stunned as Wu Dijian approached him. Latching onto his collar, Wu Dijian threw the man behind toward the masked monster!

“Ahhhh!!!!”

Helpless, the man could only scream as he was thrown at the masked monster toward his death.

“Boom!!”

The masked monster merely raised his right fist up. Icy-blue light gathered to the fist before he punched at the thrown person, turning him into ice and shattering him into thousands of pieces!

The masked monster didn’t have any signs of rationality left. He was just a killing machine that had just finished off yet another target. But instead of chasing after Wu Dijian after killing one of his own, the man just stood there.

‘Phew...scared the heavens out of me...”

Wu Dijian sighed to himself after he managed to retreat to safety.

“Wait? Crap!!”

Two seconds later and Wu Dijian realized his miscalculation. The masked monster stopped only for a moment to decide on his next prey, and it just so happened that the next one on his list was an Early-stage Soul King from the academy!

“Ah!!!”

Frightened, the Early-stage Soul King sent out a web of lightning to cover his retreat, but something of that caliber wouldn’t be enough to stop the masked monster! The man broke through the web without faltering in speed and flew upon the Soul King to kill him!

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh...”

Multiple wheels of fire blossomed to life all around the instructor. An overwhelming amount of elemental fire had appeared out of nowhere to assault the masked monster!

“Boom boom boom boom...”

The effect was instantaneous. Every single wheel of fire slammed into the masked monster and prevented him from reaching the Early-stage Soul King!

“Bzz...”

Following a flash of orange light, one part of the skies began to accumulate a tremendous amount of sand and soil. Larger and larger, the convergence of both materials eventually grew large enough to form a giant ball of dirt!

And the masked monster was sealed inside of it!

Having been so assured that he was going to die, the Early-stage Soul King let out a gasp of joy when he saw his pursuer stopped. Then he felt someone grab hold of both his shoulders before he was forcibly taken farther away from the dirt ball and toward the ground.

The young instructor looked up at the ones that saved him, “Instructor Jiang, Instructor Xiao, thank you...”

The ones who saved them were two males Bai Yunfei was very familiar with—Jiang Fan and Xiao Nan!!

Jiang Fan came here to teach the art of crafting on behalf of the Crafting School three years ago. During that time, he managed to become a Late-stage Soul King.

“Let’s get a little farther away first,” Xiao Nan suggested grimly, “Our attacks won’t stop a monster like that at all...”

“Boom!!”

The ‘ball of dirt’ already exploded before Xiao Nan had finished speaking. Shooting out from it with alarming speed, the masked monster was once again on the loose!!

And he was going after the ones that dared try to fight it; Jiang Nan and Xiao Nan!

“Hurry up and go!!”

Another two figures swooped in to save the three at once—it was Headmaster Mo Huangkong and a Mid-stage Soul Emperor!

A gale of wind roared to life once Mo Huangkong raised his hand. It carried Jiang Fan and the other two far away while also pelting the masked monster with sharp blades of wind. The Mid-stage Soul Emperor pushed both his hands out to summon a massive thundercloud overhead. Bolts of violet lightning crackled in the clouds before raining down lightningbolts in conjunction with the blades of wind.

“Roar!!!”

Sensing danger, the masked monster let out a bestial cry before he erupted with an icy light once again. Ice particles began to form everywhere. Eventually, they manifested into sharp icicles to attack Mo Huangkong!

“Boom boom boom...”

Ice, wind, and lightning attacked one another in a strange freak storm. All over the skies, tears were beginning to appear as the fabric of space was being torn apart. It was a sight that caused everyone to be alarmed and had them all rushing away to safety.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!!”

A while later and two figures could be seen flying out from the storm!!

“Headmaster!!”

Both figures were readily recognizable by the instructors. It was the headmaster and the Mid-stage Soul Emperor! The Mid-stage Soul Emperor was looking rather haggard, but was fine otherwise. But the headmaster was drenched in blood from head to toe as if heavily injured!

“Roar!!”

The masked monster roared again with a roar to rattle everyone’s morale. Bursting out from a wall of wind, the white-colored ‘monster’ was seemingly unharmed! Once it appeared, it summoned an icicle and sent it flying toward Mo Huangkong!

“Damn!!”

The Mid-stage Soul Emperor snarled. He was prepared to throw himself in the middle to protect the headmaster, but before he could...

“Chirp!!!”

An unbelievable amount of energy exploded across the skies at that moment along with rays of all colors of the rainbow! Dropping from higher up, the newcomer crushed the icicle with a burst of energy and then slammed into the masked monster!

“Boom!!”

The masked monster couldn’t react in time. Flung backward by the sudden charge, he fell to the ground with a sickening thud and was obscured by the ensuing dust storm.

What...what just happened?!

No one knew the answer. All they could do was stand there and look first at the dust clouds before back to the large multicolored bird.

“That’s...that’s...Xiao Qi?!” Wu Dijian was the first to cry out. Eyes wide open, he stared at the bird in disbelief.

Then a voice could be heard speaking to someone:

“We’re here, Yunfei. I think I just got rid of a weirdo...”
