Chapter 108: Enemies on Both Sides
Amidst the flying of rubble and dust.

When Yue Hanzhang turned his head to look, amidst the chaos and mess, he saw the wide streets outside the school which were even more chaotic and messy.

Those ordinary household chariots and shuttles were now parked on the side of the street and were in tatters.

Even the originally smooth streets were now full of potholes due to the ravages of the water. Such a bustling street was now empty and deserted.

But at the same time, it was also very crowded and full of wild beasts wreaking havoc.

The body shapes and details of those beasts were all very different from those of ordinary animals. With just one glance, Yue Hanzhang could be sure that these beasts were all in the process of becoming monsters.

The only difference is the degree of demonization process.

What's more, the most troublesome thing is that these demonized beasts that fell into Yue Hanzhang's sight all had scarlet ferocious eyes.

Those were not the pupils that a normal creature should have.

Those were eyes driven by pure instinctive ferocity after being stimulated by the pervasive aura.

You know, although demonization and martial arts practice are both prerequisites for continuing to the extraordinary Taoism.

But the intensity of the two cannot be compared.

Generally speaking, due to the limitations of the strength of the human body's flesh and bones, even a martial artist who has reached the ninth level of martial arts, or even a martial artist who has achieved great success, would find it difficult to compete in strength with an ordinary animal like a bear.

Not to mention facing ferocious monsters like bears, tigers and leopards that have transformed into monsters.

Even those demonized beasts that are more "miniature" in size may be weaker than warriors in strength, but thousands of years of cruel natural evolution and elimination by nature have also made them possess unique racial talents that other animals do not have.

The advantages of the human race lie in wisdom, learning ability, and the ability to use all tools and external objects.

In a pure competition of physical fitness, humans do not have an advantage, and after living in cities for a long time, even powerful martial arts practitioners do not have the experience of hunting in the wilderness all year round like suburban warriors.

In a life-and-death struggle, facing most of the demonized animals, the chances of winning are actually quite small.

Even the most experienced suburban warriors are actually walking on the edge of life and death when hunting demonized beasts, living a life of exchanging lives and licking blood on the edge of a knife.

Of course, the essence and original intention of martial arts practice is not to allow the cultivator to defeat the demonized beasts at this stage, but to surpass the past self, to continuously grow stronger internally, and for the future.

That's a beautiful statement.

But in the face of the sudden change at this moment, it seems so pale and powerless.

For example, at this moment, the chief judge, who was already under siege by monsters, was torn apart in a very short time and turned into a bloody rain.

He was a person who had reached a very high level of martial arts practice.

But at this moment, facing the demonized beast with only ferocious instincts left, he fell miserably into the siege, and was quickly defeated, and finally lost his life completely.

Even when he was dying, he was still looking in the direction of the Third Division's headquarters, regretting that he had not completed the task of calling for help and attracting reinforcements.

And this time there was blood.

For a moment, the ferocity of those demonized beasts became even more intense.

And most importantly, in the midst of such a burst of ferocity, Yue Hanzhang clearly felt the resonance of some kind of wild beast's ferocity, as if it had condensed into a whole at this moment.

Then, there were the almost shrill screams from the martial arts students who were so frightened that they lost their minds.

When the beasts that had completed their hunt all turned their attention to the campus where the thick walls had collapsed.

It was a majestic ferocity that had been integrated into a whole and was transforming into an ocean, sweeping towards the screaming crowd first.

There is great terror between life and death.

At this moment, countless people were so frightened that they lost their minds. They just stood there in a daze, shaking all over like sieves.

On the other hand, Yue Hanzhang and Huang Zhishu seemed to be in good condition.

Yue Hanzhang was just still feeling confused.

After all, this shocking change broke out suddenly, and the information he could know was too little, but the crisis was real. All Yue Hanzhang could do was to adjust his state and make every move when it was time to do so.

Don't think about other things, just seize every opportunity to live a good life.

Compared with Yue Hanzhang's confusion and calmness, Huang Zhishu seemed much more nervous, with an obvious uneasiness of facing a crisis.

But this uneasiness did not make her panic. She even subconsciously moved closer to Yue Hanzhang. A sense of security arose spontaneously, making her more agile and active despite the uneasy mood.

At the same time, Jiang Lingxiu, who had just walked out of the martial arts training room, looked a little ugly.

The majestic aura of the demonized beast did not scare her.

On the contrary, this resonance of ferocity seemed to be also stirring up the ferocious side of Jiang Lingxiu that was also originally a beast.

Even as her nostrils twitched with difficulty, it seemed that the special smell in the air was stimulating to her.

If it was when she had just met Jiang Lingxiu, Yue Hanzhang believed that such stimulation would also make her ferocious.

However, Jiang Lingxiu, who had already mastered martial arts, only showed a sense of discomfort and sluggishness under such stimulation.

At the critical moment, Huang Zhishu forgot the tit-for-tat in the morning.

She took the initiative to help Jiang Lingxiu up so that she could stand in a more relaxed posture.

"Student Jiang, we are acquainted after fighting. Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingxiu responded in a low voice.

"No, I am stronger than you. I will take care of you when necessary."

However, such words seemed unconvincing as Jiang Lingxiu was in his low spirits at the moment.

Huang Zhishu thought that Jiang Lingxiu was just being stubborn. Now was not the time to be sarcastic or gossipy, so she just smiled and said nothing more.

At the same time, Yue Hanzhang calmly took out three plastic-sealed Zhengyang Qi and Blood Pills from the waist pocket of his training suit, took one himself, and gave the remaining two to Huang Zhishu and Jiang Lingxiu.

After the precious pill was swallowed, a surge of energy surged up in an instant. With the support of external forces, Yue Hanzhang and the other two were passively in a state of warm and boiling blood. At the same time, Yue Hanzhang turned around calmly and searched carefully among the pile of rubble outside the passage where they came out.

Soon, Yue Hanzhang found three straight special alloy iron rods from the rubble.

Originally, it was probably a part of a special mechanism of an alloy door panel embedded in a thick wall. Considering the solid materials used in a building like the martial arts hall, and unless the teacher of Donghua Taoist Temple is a cultivator who has mastered Taoism, it would be difficult for an ordinary warrior to break it with a blast, even deforming it with force would be difficult.

Such a handy weapon can be used as a stick at the level of the eyebrows. Moreover, because these alloy sticks themselves were broken by external forces, one side presents an irregular sharp cross-section.

This kind of cross section, if used properly, can also be used as a pistol.

Holding weapons in their hands, Yue Hanzhang and the other two seemed calmer and more high-spirited than when the sudden incident broke out.

And it seemed that he was influenced by Yue Hanzhang's calmness.

At least around Yue Hanzhang, many martial arts students gradually regained their sanity.

On the streets in the distance, those ferocious beasts were approaching step by step, attracted by the earlier screams.

At this moment, the extreme fear seemed to make them braver than ever before.

They also followed Yue Hanzhang's example and turned around to search among the rubble for materials that could be used as weapons.

At the same time, caught up in the huge crowd, the shouting voices of the teachers gradually seemed to suppress the disorderly noise of the crowd.

The chaotic crowd seemed to be reorganized and sorted out.

To be honest, they are not a pure mob.

They are all martial arts students with a certain degree of talent. They have mastered the techniques of fighting to a certain extent and understand the changes in body shape and strength when moving around.

In such a dangerous situation, their single strength might be too weak to face the demonized beasts.

But as long as they are organized properly, even if some people are still injured or even seriously injured, there is strength in numbers, and they have a great chance of getting through the crisis safely without any life-threatening threats.

This kind of understanding, with the performance of geniuses like Yue Hanzhang and the calls of teachers, is gradually being passed on to more people's minds.

The effect was very obvious. Almost instantly, the crowd quieted down, became calm and orderly.

And facing the obvious change in momentum.

Even the ferocious wild beasts in the distance were startled and slowed down their pace one after another, showing more tentative and free approaches before hunting.

But it seems like it was intentional.

When everything seems to be getting better.

They were standing in the parking lot of the martial arts gym next to them.

Suddenly, the heavy and dull roar of chariots was heard one after another.

As if on purpose, the slightly sharp voice of the nobleman who had led the rhythm earlier came from the loudspeaker of a chariot.

"Brothers, break through the other wall! Our chariots can pass through the beasts even in the wilderness!
Let them stay and use their flesh and blood to cover our rear!
When disaster strikes, everyone flees! If you don't run for your life now and just stand there waiting to die, you are the real fool! "

That sharp voice said it and did it.

Almost instantly, with the roar of vehicles starting one after another, they rushed out of the parking lot and crashed straight into the other side of the school's wall that was still intact.

No matter how solid the walls of a city school are, how can they compare to a special chariot that can roam the wilderness?

Almost instantly, the intact wall collapsed under the impact of the chariot like a rotten wood.

From the car speakers came the ostentatious cheers of the children of noble families.

"Brothers, there are no wild beasts here, charge, charge!"

The most frightening thing is the current situation.

Even when a person's defenses are broken, there is always a chance to stimulate and cheer up within a short period of time.

But once you experience such ups and downs in a short period of time, once your mental defenses are lost, it will be the beginning of completely losing your reason and organization.

Among the crowd, there was already a martial arts student who turned around and looked at the other side of the wall because of what that person said.

On the wide road leading to the Education Department, there were indeed no groups of wild beasts to be seen.

Can……

But what is that figure that is rushing towards us using its hands and feet like an ape, with strange symbols flashing between its brows?
Immediately afterwards, the roaring chariots made sharp emergency braking sounds one after another.

Then the chariot turned.

"Get out of the way, people in front, get out of the way!"

"Go, go, go! Go this way!"

"Damn it, you're not going to move, are you? Run over him! Run over him!"

The complacent voice turned into exasperated and frustrated at this moment.

But before the chariot actually broke into the crowd, a fat man flashed out from the crowd first.

When he saw the figure flashing out, Qin Linhui, who had already moved sideways a step, stopped moving again in the crowd.

He even felt a complex sense of relief at this moment.

Then, the broad and fat figure attracted everyone's attention and burst out with an extreme sound of breaking through the air.

The moment Zhu Yan leaped up, the seals between his brows unfolded like a Taoist crown. In an instant, his muscles became as tight as steel. As he fell straight down, he punched the front of the chariot that was rushing in front.

"enough--!"
