Chapter 166: Chapter 131: Enemy 2

BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

The air was repeatedly blasted apart, creating one deafening explosion after another!

The man relied on this brutish, almost nonsensical method to forcefully halt his descent. He brought his falling speed down to a range his physical body could easily withstand, and then...

BOOM!!!

The man landed hard on the school’s athletic field, kicking up a massive cloud of dust!

The ground seemed to groan as it caved in. If the teachers hadn’t been so quick to evacuate most of the students from the field, a huge number of them would have been crushed to death.

But even so, many innocent people still died. They had been sleeping, only to be obliterated in an instant by the immense, brutish force—not even their bones remained.

"Heh heh..."

A middle-aged man’s voice slowly drifted out from the dust.

Just then,

a red light flashed beside Su Xing and shot violently into the cloud of dust!

VMMMM!!!

Wreathed in "Qi Sword Stance," the Sparrow Sword shot forth. It tore through the air with a sonic boom, unleashing a shockwave as it slashed viciously at the stranger who had just appeared!

The Sparrow Sword was abnormally fast. The man didn’t seem to react at all, just stood there dumbfounded.

Just as the Sparrow Sword was about to strike, a purple-haired phantom suddenly appeared behind him. The phantom reached out a pale, transparent right hand and grabbed directly for the Sparrow Sword!

BANG!!!

With a muffled thud, the Sparrow Sword—powerful enough to pierce the Angry Vice Bishop—was caught firmly in that hand. The moment it was caught, the hand didn’t even budge.

Then, as Su Xing, Lu Anning, and Su Yu watched, the pale, translucent right hand slowly closed its grip.

The Sparrow Sword, formed from crimson energy, looked as if it had been thrown into a meat grinder. Countless cracks appeared all over it, and with a series of "CRUNCH" sounds, it began to crumble and break apart until it was completely crushed to powder!

The next moment, the Sparrow Sword reappeared by Su Xing’s side as if nothing had happened. But Su Xing’s brow was tightly furrowed, his expression grave. He stared intently at the man in the distant dust cloud and asked in a somewhat astonished voice:

"What... what Sequence is this?"

"It should be Sleeping Gray Mist, but... it feels a little different."

Su Yu also looked up at the sky. After pondering for a moment, he added:

"That’s just an auxiliary Sequence. Logically, an Extraordinary Being with that Sequence shouldn’t be able to cause such a commotion."

That was right. Forget an auxiliary Sequence,

even most combat-oriented Tier Five Sequencers couldn’t have pulled off what they had just witnessed.

The visual of someone plummeting from the sky and madly punching the air to slow their descent was just too overwhelming. Su Yu couldn’t even begin to gauge the opponent’s strength just by thinking about it. A thought rose in his mind:

’Can my brother... even beat him?’

...

HUFF... HUFF... HUFF.

Shen Ruyun had left the school and reached a safe area.

She gasped for breath, her nerves frayed, as she pulled out her phone to immediately contact the special organization, who were still unaware of the situation.

Although she had left early and didn’t know what happened afterward, she was certain this was very likely part of a plot by the Spiritual Sect. Li Yu had warned her about this possibility multiple times before he left.

Now that Li Yu and Elder Lu were gone from the special organization, and with something like this happening, she had to inform the other experts right away. Especially the Tier Five expert Li Yu had brought back just two days ago—he had to be notified immediately!

"Hello, is this Bailan?"

Shen Ruyun said hurriedly, clutching her phone.

She had contacted the highest-ranking person she knew: Bailan.

Hearing the anxiety in Shen Ruyun’s voice, Bailan, on the other end of the line, knew something must have happened. She replied quickly:

"What’s happened over there?"

"Yes! At Cang City High School! There’s been an attack!"

"..."

Shen Ruyun calmed herself slightly and poured out everything she had seen, heard, and been told by Su Yu.

This made Bailan frown. She suddenly recalled what Li Yu had told her before he left—that it was likely a ploy by the Spiritual Sect to lure the tiger from the mountain. But Li Yu had to investigate anyway. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.

’Based on what Shen Ruyun is saying, this attack is probably another attempt to lure the tiger from the mountain,’ she thought. ’But what is the Spiritual Sect actually trying to accomplish?’

The thought circled in her mind, but she quickly pushed it away.

She faced the same problem Li Yu had. Even though they knew it was probably a trick by the Spiritual Sect, they had to respond to maintain the city’s stability. She let out a soft breath and said:

"I understand. Stay put and don’t make any rash moves. I’m bringing people over right now."

"Okay."

...

"Heh heh..."

A cold laugh echoed from the dust cloud as the man’s figure was gradually revealed. He looked like a perfectly ordinary working man.

If not for what had just happened, no one would have ever suspected this man was responsible.

Only then did Lu Anning and Su Yu snap out of it. They stared toward the dust cloud and saw the man who had emerged from it.

"Is he... from the Spiritual Sect?" Su Yu asked, his expression serious as he watched the man.
