"It's fine, just be more careful next time," Long Qifeng said with a smile. "Those scattered mud chunks around the city are yours to handle. Don't find it too troublesome!"
Dan Qiuchan knew this was Long Qifeng giving her an out, so she immediately nodded, "Not troublesome at all, I'll go right now!"
Meanwhile, Zhan Wushuang, standing before the grand formation, smiled and drew his blade, slashing horizontally. As the blade energy spread, the skeletons fell like harvested wheat, serving no purpose other than to hinder the logistics personnel.
The small beast tide, originally intended to delay the army personnel, couldn't even delay Zhan Wushuang for a second. Dan Qiuchan's unexpected arrival completely disrupted the Plague Lord's plan.
In its original plan, it would fight Zhan Wushuang, Bai Yuntian would fight the Phantom Demon, the military would fight the skeleton beast tide, and finally, it would self-disintegrate to delay Long Qifeng and Zhan Wushuang, thereby creating a situation where Lu Chenxing was isolated, allowing it to kill him in one blow!
Because the black mud after its disintegration contained the power of rules, Zhan Wushuang could only use the power of rules to clear it. If left alone, the Plague might spread throughout the city after a while, so he couldn't ignore it; he had to clear it!
But Dan Qiuchan's arrival freed up Zhan Wushuang's hands. Its skeleton beast tide, including itself as the initiator of this plan, seemed to have become a joke. It knew the plan had likely failed, but it was still unwilling!
At this moment, Long Qifeng and the other two didn't notice that an inconspicuous small mud speck landed on the edge of the grand formation, then transformed into a large gray rat. The rules on its body automatically dissipated, and its energy fluctuations quickly vanished. Afterward, it successfully entered the protective grand formation, just like an ordinary rat.
On the other side, inside the gymnasium, the moment Long Qifeng left, the cleaner and the venue staff hidden in the corner immediately pressed the formation activation buttons in their hands, then looked towards Lu Chenxing's location.
But the anticipated explosion and poisonous mist did not occur. The two stood expressionlessly in place, making no further moves.
And on the streets of Loshen City, a strange glint flashed in the fashionable woman's eyes. She looked at Long Qifeng in the sky, then curled her lips. "This is more like it. Otherwise, I would really suspect you were all idiots!"
Then she stirred the wisp of spiritual power in her mind, "My Lord, they have discovered our plan. Should the plan continue?"
The next moment, a voice, indistinguishable as male or female, came from her mind. The voice sounded somewhat gritted, "The plan continues! Bai Yuntian ambushed me for this kid, so I'm going to kill this kid no matter what! I want to see what kind of expression Bai Yuntian will have then!"
"But if we continue to execute the original plan, we won't be able to kill Lu Chenxing."
"You just need to execute the original plan. I have my own arrangements for what comes next!"
"Yes!"
When the conversation ended, the two in the gymnasium immediately moved, starting to activate the formations again, but not the ones under Lu Chenxing's butt.
The next moment, several activated formations suddenly appeared around the rostrum. White mist spewed from the formations, enveloping the entire rostrum and a large surrounding area.
Then, the two simultaneously took out their weapons and charged directly into the white mist. One was a Mid-Third Tier, and the other was a Late-Third Tier, and they rushed into the white mist unimpeded!
The surrounding audience sat in their seats without any change in expression, seemingly waiting for someone's command.
The next moment, Bai Yuntian's figure appeared in the stadium, a sword light flashing in his eyes. He watched the situation within the white mist with great interest. This thick white mist seemed to be nonexistent to him.
He had long wanted to see Lu Chenxing's combat power. At this moment, he was already not far from Late-Second Tier, so could he fight above his tier? Anyway, with him there, nothing could go wrong, so it might as well be considered a form of training for him.
On the other side, within the white mist, Lu Chenxing sighed deeply the moment he saw the white mist appear. He never expected these Strange Beast to want him dead so badly, even going so far as to use a feint to draw everyone away.
If Principal Bai hadn't prepared this Seventh-Tier secret realm, he felt that the Phantom Demon wouldn't have truly shattered the secret realm, as that would be tantamount to tearing off the facade.
So, most likely, Principal Bai would be held back, and then Zhan Wushuang and Long Qifeng would probably be held back by other matters. As for Dan Qiuchan's arrival, for these few Strange Beast, it should also be an unplanned event.
Therefore, if it followed their original script, these white mists would most likely still appear around him, and then someone would probably come to kill him.
But now, Lu Chenxing glanced at the sky. He was almost certain that Bai Yuntian should be watching the show outside right now.
Thinking this, Lu Chenxing's mind stirred, and the white "Magic Guide" immediately appeared on his hands. The gems on the back of his hands glowed, and the surrounding elemental activity instantly increased by fifty percent!
Then he casually formed a hand seal and muttered, "Thousands of elements, heed my command, return to my body, become a sturdy shield."
Ten elements immediately condensed, forming ten spherical shields layered one upon another, firmly protecting him. At the same time, the Wind Element informed Lu Chenxing that someone was coming from his upper left and upper right, with strengths at Mid-Third Tier and Late-Third Tier.
Looking at Lu Chenxing, who had almost turned himself into a turtle, Bai Yuntian was a little speechless, but he was still a little amazed by his technique of stacking ten layers of shields!
He could perceive that each of these shields almost had the defensive strength of an ordinary Early-Third Tier. With ten layers stacked, let alone one, even two Late-Third Tiers couldn't do anything to him for a while!
But in fact, there was no skill involved at all; it was just Lu Chenxing subconsciously wanting to cast more layers of shields to increase his fault tolerance. Regardless of whether this method worked for others, as long as he thought it worked, then it worked!
Looking at the surrounding dense fog, Lu Chenxing suddenly waved his hand, "The great wind rises, and the clouds fly!"
A gust of strong wind rose from the ground, blowing in a circular motion towards the surrounding white mist!
But the surrounding white mist remained motionless under the strong wind, not even stirring a bit!
Feeling the feedback from the Wind Element, Lu Chenxing understood in his heart that this was not real white mist, but probably a special illusion!
Feeling the two getting closer, he formed another hand seal and muttered, "Element Condensation, divine power quickly manifest!"
The skill "Element Condensation" activated!
The elements in the surrounding air immediately condensed towards him, but this spell required three seconds to complete. At this moment, the two assassins were already close at hand!
"Xun Wind Body, Nine Heavens Borrowed Power! Lightness Technique!" Lu Chenxing formed hand seals with both hands simultaneously. The elements in his left hand were still condensing, while his right hand formed a new seal!
As a light blue stream of wind wrapped around his feet, he leaped lightly from his seat.
At the same time, Bai Yuntian's brow unconsciously twitched. He was now a little curious about what talent Lu Chenxing had awakened! How could he even perform multi-casting?! This was a technique that only high-level Magic Guides could master!
If he knew that Lu Chenxing could actually cast spells without limit, he wouldn't know what kind of expression he would have.
As Lu Chenxing left his seat, the next moment, a flash of blade light struck down where he had been, splitting the table and chairs on the rostrum in half.
After all, they were just ordinary tables and chairs, so being fragile was natural.
The two who had charged in met at the rostrum, then expressionlessly changed direction and charged towards Lu Chenxing together!
"They're not affected by the illusion, are they?" Lu Chenxing pondered, then cast a Probing Technique on each of them.
Before the Probing Technique could send back feedback, the two figures had already caught up to him.
"In that case, I won't be polite." Lu Chenxing watched as the spell completed, and "Element Condensation" floated in a ring in front of him. With a wave of his hand, countless fireballs, wind blades, light bullets, water blades, and other basic spells of ten elements immediately appeared, shooting out like a Gatling gun!
At this time, his strength was already close to Late-Second Tier, and with the boost from the "Magic Guide," each condensed elemental attack alone had the offensive power of Early-Third Tier, let alone so many attacks!
The storm-like attacks immediately submerged the two charging opponents! It lasted for a full three seconds! Then the "Element Condensation" state disappeared.
What Lu Chenxing didn't expect was that after the various elemental explosions, various chain reactions actually occurred, and their power had already reached Mid-Third Tier!
Electrocution, slowing, freezing, corrosion, burning, and other abnormal statuses appeared, simultaneously returning to Lu Chenxing's mind through the Probing Technique he had just used.
Even in this state, the two continued to chase Lu Chenxing expressionlessly. The Mid-Third Tier one was stumbling and almost at his limit, but still moved towards him expressionlessly.
"Hey! Still chasing? Are you really not afraid of death!" Lu Chenxing complained speechlessly, then discovered a strange set of abnormal statuses among the various others.
Confusion, Soul Seal, and Mind Bewilderment—these three statuses made Lu Chenxing's eyes light up, and he immediately cast two "Dispelling Techniques"!
But the next moment, the two suddenly turned sharply, avoiding the light clusters of the Dispelling Technique, and simultaneously retreated into the mist!
