Chapter 896: Breaking the Situation

Screech!

The majestic eagle that was hovering at a low height let out a screech and then came shooting down like a sharp arrow.

It was really a case of an eagle pouncing at a rabbit, going all out.

Before the eagle arrived at its target, the strong wind caused by its wings had blown up the dust and sand from the ground.

Sun Mo readied his bow and arrows, launching out three consecutive strikes in one go.

Every arrow was like a shooting star!

Jiang Ji also swung his blade, sending arching blade qis that were like silver crescent moons, attacking the eagle. He also kicked his warhorse and flew out from the momentum, out to kill the eagle.

The other great teachers sank into hesitation.

It wasn’t that they didn’t wish to save the girl, but this was an attack from the Four Symbols Starlord. Wouldn’t the one to block the attack be the first to get targeted?

It’d mean absolute death!

Bang! Bang!

As expected of the person who was ranked first on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings. Jiang Ji performed two slashes at the eagle, pushing it back. He then stood in front of the girl to protect her.

“Oh, you’re quite capable!”

The Four Symbols Starlord sneered.

Sun Mo paid him no heed but looked toward Tuoba Cao’s group. “Tsk, what were you saying earlier? The reason I didn’t go back to the school to save the others was because those students are barbarians? But you guys didn’t seem to be making a move just now.”

Sun Mo’s sneer made Helian Xue and the others feel embarrassed.

After all, they had committed a mistake and they deserved to be scolded.

“Teacher Sun, I know that you’re trying to pique their battle will by saying this, but it’s useless. Even if so many people attack together, we won’t be able to win against the Four Symbols Starlord.”

Mei Ziyu said in a soft voice, “I’ll try to get you a chance later on. You should quickly escape.”

Sun Mo, who was fully focused on thinking, suddenly had an idea upon hearing Mei Ziyu’s word.

(That’s right, the Four Symbols Starlord can crush our group easily. Moreover, he is in a rush for time. He can just kill everyone and take Wanyan Mei, so why is he chattering away with us?)

Since there was an abnormality, there must be a reason behind it.

For example, was this Starlord unable to defeat the entire group? Did he want to scare everyone and then take away Wanyan Mei with ease?

But the pressure given out by this majestic eagle and white tiger wasn’t fake.

Hold on…

Could the Four Symbols Starlord lend his tamed beasts to others?

Sun Mo decided to try it out and let out an explosive bellow!

“Everyone, attack and fight your way out! Helian Xue, you take the princess and leave!”

After bellowing, Sun Mo pounced toward the Four Symbols Starlord fiercely.

However, no one other than Jiang Ji made a move.

It was because Sun Mo’s choice was too rash.

Pa!

Sun Mo pulled his reins, stopped, and then quickly said, “Teacher Jiang, come back!”

Jiang Ji turned back, feeling baffled. Sun Mo shouldn’t be afraid of trouble.

The others also seemed stunned. (What are you up to?)

“Haha, this is really a joke. Is this how cowardly the Dragon Subduing Academy’s great teachers are?”

The Four Symbols Starlord sneered.

“Alright, stop it with all the pretense. Who are you? You should be a star general, right?”

Sun Mo was very composed.

“Do you wish to die?”

The Four Symbols Starlord’s gaze turned savage.

“I told you to stop with the pretense.”

Sun Mo pressed down on his finger bone, feeling very settled. “If you’re really the Four Symbols Starlord, you’d be at ease no matter what I shouted out. However, your mind tensed up for an instant when you were staring at Wanyan Mei.

“If I was not wrong, you were planning on killing the first one to bring Wanyan Mei away, making an example to scare the rest of the people. After all, you’re just a star general and you can’t wipe all of us out.”

As Sun Mo analyzed this, he also observed the star general.

As expected, although this guy controlled his expression very well, not showing any changes as if Sun Mo was talking crap, his heartbeat had quickened.

Everyone looked toward Sun Mo with a doubtful expression, then at the Four Symbols Starlord. Was this true?

“Alright, then I’ll send you to your death first!”

The Four Symbols Starlord let out a cold snort and snapped his fingers. The majestic eagle plunged down once again. At the instant he did a flip and landed, the white tiger he was riding also shot out toward Sun Mo like a missile.

“What are you guys still waiting for?”

Sun Mo bellowed. “This guy is clearly enraged after I’ve guessed it right.”

Being able to work as great teachers in a top-notch school like the Dragon Subduing Academy, Helian Xue and the others were no fools either. At the sight of this, they understood that Sun Mo was right.

Moreover, they had no other choice either. Sun Mo was the strongest out of them all. If he was killed, everyone would die even faster. Therefore, they might as well go all out while he was suppressing the two battle pets.

Of course, at this moment, Jiang Ji also earned a merit.

If he hadn’t charged out toward the Four Symbols Starlord with a firm will, bringing about a good impact, the others would probably still be hesitant.

“F*ck!”

The Four Symbols Starlord cursed and attacked Jiang Ji. Although his disposition was very fierce, his actual weakness had been exposed.

It was because the real Four Symbols Starlord could kill Jiang Ji easily with a single move, but Jiang Ji was doing fine.

Of course, after this star general was exposed, he didn’t remain zealous to stay in the battle. His mission was to capture the princess as a hostage.

Helian Xue’s group went all out.

At the thought of how they had been scared by this guy, all of them had a strong urge to kill him immediately, obliterating him.

The star general might be very strong, but he couldn’t survive being surrounded and attacked by so many people. Seeing that he was doomed, he suddenly took out an alchemical pill, wanting to pop it into his mouth.

This was his trump. After eating it, his battle prowess would increase several folds instantly.

“Don’t think about it!”

Jiang Ji struck out with his ultimate technique.

Swoosh!

He was over three meters away from the star general, but as he slashed out his blade, the star general’s finger broke with a swoosh, with blood spurting out.

The pill also fell to the ground.

“Catch him alive!” Helian Xue shouted.

The star general realized that there was no escape for him. He broke into an ashamed smile and then let out a loud bellow.

“Lord Starlord, I’m sorry! This disciple has let you down.”

Dark red light lit up on the star general’s body. Then, with a bang, he exploded.

Blood and flesh splattered all over the ground.

“That’s so brutal!”

Wanyan Mei’s countenance was grim. It was no wonder that the Dark Dawn had become Saint Gate’s greatest enemy. Their convictions were too scary.

They’d rather die than be taken captive.

“Teacher Sun, you’re really smart!” Duanmu Li exclaimed, “Without you, everyone would be like fools and toyed with.”

“That’s right. Teacher Sun’s observation skills are amazing.”

Helian Xue also felt lingering fear.

The others also chipped in, feeling great admiration for Sun Mo.

In the situation earlier, everyone had been scared to death, and their minds completely blanked out. Despite this, Sun Mo could still notice the flaw. This wasn’t easy.

Ding!

Congratulations, you’ve received a total of +11,109 points.

This was a life-saving debt and even though there were just over 30 teachers and students in total, their contribution of favorable impression points hit over 10,000.

“It’s just a small matter. Everyone seems to have gotten hurt. Let me give you guys a massage and treat your injuries.”

As Sun Mo said this, he walked toward Helian Xue.

“I’ll trouble Teacher Sun then.”

Helian Xue didn’t stand on ceremony. He had witnessed how Sun Mo’s massage had helped Mei Ziyu stop her bleeding and recover her spirit qi quickly.

However, he had just said that when he saw Sun Mo, who had gotten close to him, suddenly swung his arm and attacked him.

Fist wind came gushing toward his face!
