"A mysterious legend?"
Yang Xiao was startled, looking at Xing Zhe.
Xing Zhe gave a faint smile, not pressing Yang Xiao further, and explained:
"There has always been a legend within the academy that long ago, on Wuji Island, there were three cultivation fields where someone once experienced a great encounter, swiftly breaking through their Genetic Evolution Level during their training."
"What exactly was this encounter?"
"There are various stories about it; some say they encountered an Energy Spring for Genetic Evolution, immersing themselves in the Energy Spring Water for cultivation, progressing at more than ten times the speed of a level nine cultivation field."
"Is it like the villa hot spring?"
"The villa hot spring only contains some evolution energy, hardly worth mentioning,
others say someone encountered some peculiar demon beasts in these cultivation fields, obtaining special evolution skills and cultivation techniques, significantly enhancing their evolution speed."
"Has anyone witnessed this firsthand?"
"No one has, at least not in recent decades, has anyone had any encounters in these fields, including the 101 cultivation field,
initially, many students, upon hearing of this legend for the first time, would come here out of curiosity to explore but found nothing, and over time, the legend became a joke, and no one took it seriously."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao's face turned awkward, quickly masking his expression, and laughed:
"I never expected such a legend about the 101 cultivation field, if I'd known, I would have searched longer inside, haha..."
Xing Zhe smiled slightly, saying:
"Brother Yang, we should go. Jiang En and the others are probably getting impatient."
"Alright, let's go!"
As Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe were about to leap into the air, suddenly, two intense killing auras attacked their backs.
Both Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe were extraordinary experts of Emperor Level Realm, their divine sense strong, immediately sensing the ambush from behind.
They instantly activated a defense light screen, simultaneously performing Instantaneous Movement to evade forward.
However, the assailants were also exceptionally powerful, their sharp killing blows hitting the defense light screens on their backs almost instantly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With two loud blasts, Yang Xiao stumbled, tumbling forward several dozen meters, a surge of energy and blood rushing to his throat,
"Puhh!"
Yang Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xing Zhe fared no better, also being knocked back dozens of meters, coughing up blood.
Both of them retaliated with a wave of fierce killing aura, turning around swiftly.
"Who?"
Yang Xiao saw two masked men standing not far from the entrance of the 101 cultivation field cave.
Xing Zhe was startled and immediately said:
"Why did you two ambush us? We are students of Wuji Academy."
The two masked men snorted coldly and said:
"Does killing require a reason?"
Xing Zhe spat out a mouthful of blood-tinted spit and shouted loudly:
"Assassinating students of Wuji Academy on Wuji Island, do you know the consequences?"
"What consequences? Soon your bodies will be devoured by demon beasts, not even leaving behind bone fragments. Who will know you're dead? How will Wuji Academy avenge you?"
Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao each took a healing elixir.
The two men exchanged a glance, realizing they were facing formidable opponents and possibly in great danger today.
Those who could ambush Yang Xiao successfully were at least of Emperor Level Realm or higher.
"Brothers, are you after money or something else? If it's money, I have several million crystal disks and equipment worth over a million. I can give it to you."
Xing Zhe decided to prioritize self-preservation.
God knows how many others might be lurking in this wilderness?
Such acts of robbery in the wild happen frequently, especially those traveling alone are vulnerable targets.
The two masked men sneered,
"I'm not after money, just your life."
"Do I have a grudge against you?"
"No."
"Then why do you want to kill me?"
Both Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao were injured, understanding that against an expert of the Emperor Level Realm, in their wounded condition, they had no chance of winning.
Xing Zhe didn't want a fight to the death here.
One of the masked men chuckled sinisterly and said:
"Didn't I just say? Do you need a reason to kill someone?"
Then, in a flash, he struck towards Yang Xiao with a punch.
The other masked man simultaneously attacked Xing Zhe.
Yang Xiao gritted his teeth, performing a Sweeping Void, a massive monster tail tearing through the air, sweeping in front of Yang Xiao towards his enemy.
The masked man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, his punched fist morphing into a gigantic monster claw over a dozen meters long, viciously grabbing at Yang Xiao's Sweeping Void.
"Crunch!"
Yang Xiao felt his body tremble, retreating explosively backward for dozens of meters.
The monster tail of Sweeping Void was instantly caught by the opponent's claw, breaking into two parts.
Having been ambushed earlier, Yang Xiao suffered significant injuries, greatly reducing his combat power.
On the other side, Xing Zhe was locked in combat with the opponent, being at a disadvantage due to his injuries.
Xing Zhe shouted loudly:
"Yang Xiao, don't linger in battle, retreat!"
Xing Zhe waved a hand, unleashing a hundred-meter-long wall of fire against the masked man.
The scorching flames engulfed half the sky.
The masked man sneered,
"Think you can escape? Not that easy!"
He successively struck with three palm attacks, each unleashing a violent wind blade that, like a tornado, swept towards Xing Zhe's wall of fire.
"Boom!"
With a loud blast, Xing Zhe's wall of fire was split in the middle.
The masked man flashed forward, charging at Xing Zhe.
On this side, Yang Xiao's Sweeping Void was shattered by the opponent, and he suffered further injuries, spitting out three consecutive mouthfuls of blood.
"Can't hold on, at this rate, we'll die. Even using Beast Soul might not fend off the opponent, given my current injuries."
Yang Xiao employed dodging techniques to engage in a tangled fight with the opponent.
However, Yang Xiao was shocked; the opponent's speed surpassed his own. Just as he dodged an attack, the opponent's second strike was already brushing past his back.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them exchanged over a dozen rounds.
Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe were retreating step by step, spitting blood continuously.
At this moment, the two were forced to the entrance of the cultivation field cave by the two masked men.
"Into the cave!"
Yang Xiao gritted his teeth, flashing towards the cultivation field cave behind him.
Xing Zhe didn't have time to think and immediately followed.
Seeing Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe run into the cultivation field cave entrance, the two masked men burst into laughter.
"They ran into the cave themselves, isn't that just sealing their fate? They're dead."
The two masked men arrived at the cultivation field entrance, ready to enter the cave, when two waves of fierce killing aura surged at them.
The masked men were startled, immediately activating defensive light shields, retreating several dozen meters.
One of them cursed:
"Damn it, relying on the cave's defense. I'll guard you for ten to twenty days, see who outlasts who, whether you'll starve to death or not."
