Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 49 External Brain
Beijing Normal University City is very large, so large that the two ends of the city seem to live in two different worlds.

This is why, in vernacular novels, there are always those spoiled brats who dare to act arrogantly and domineeringly in the capital, right under the emperor's nose, yet seem completely unconcerned about being punished.

Tinea is a minor matter, unlikely to reach the ears of the higher authorities. It gets passed down layer by layer, and who knows where it ends up before being forgotten.

Even his family members may not hear any rumors for several days.

This situation was very evident in the outer city of Beijing Normal University, where there were many residential areas with crisscrossing streets and alleys. Often, four or five blocks were drawn up, each forming its own administrative area. Many people might live in this small circle for several years without ever leaving it.

But the inner city is different.

The people living here are all rich and powerful, and they all purchase their necessities in the city center. As a result, although the streets of the inner city are wide, there are very few pedestrians when there is nothing to do.

So, when Pei Xia led Xu Shangxin and Lu Li on horseback to escape, they were discovered not long afterward.

Fortunately, Yu Ling's visit to the Prime Minister's residence this time was only to capture people, and he was mostly traveling light on foot. Even after receiving the report, only a few skilled cavalrymen were able to be sent to pursue and intercept him.

As for the reinforcements from each battalion, they won't arrive for a while.

"The main problem is the city gate!"

As they sped along, Pei Xia turned back and shouted to Xu Shangxin, "Once the city gates are under martial law, we'll have no choice but to force our way in!"

The Great Feather Imperial City is naturally protected by array formations, and once martial law is imposed, it will be very difficult to climb over the city walls.

Moreover, even if Pei Xia had the ability on her own, it probably wouldn't work even if she brought Xu Shangxin along.

Xu Shangxin did not reply to him.

This was the first time in her life she had ridden a horse so fast, and she was doing her best to maintain her balance.

As for the "trouble" Pei Xia mentioned, ha, Second Brother, you really overestimate me.

From the very beginning, when Yang Xu led the Feathered Army to block the gate, Xu Shangxin already felt helpless.

As for the city gate guards, force your way in? How exactly do you mean force your way in? Just charge in and slaughter everyone in sight?
So many things have happened in such a short time, far beyond Xu Shangxin's previous understanding. At this moment, all she can do is trust Pei Xia.

Do what you think, and I'll follow your lead.

Galloping on horseback, they soon saw the familiar inner city gate.

The city gates are already closed.

The horse-stopping barriers were already in place. When the leading officer saw Pei Xia and his two riders from afar, he immediately shouted, and dozens of officers and soldiers from the city gate raised their spears.

The good news is that this magnificent city, considered the best in the world, did not truly take Pei Xia seriously as an opponent.

Its current stance is nothing more than dealing with a reckless fugitive.

The bad news is that Pei Xia looked at the fallen city gate and was really balding.

Pei Xia called out, "Pear!"

Lu Li, who had been clinging to his back, peeked out against the wind: "What are you doing?"

"that!"

Pei Xia picked up the iron rod in his hand and pointed it at the city gate: "Think of a way!"

Lu Li was shocked: "How dare you bring that up?"

"You are the one with the highest cultivation level among us!"

"I'm……"

Damn it, I really am!
Lu Li gritted her teeth, climbed onto Pei Xia's head, and put her two little feet around Pei Xia's neck: "Let me try!"

Looking into the distance, Lu Li's eyes gradually reflected the wide inner city gate.

At first she just watched, but as she watched, thick blood vessels began to appear in her eyes. She clenched her small fist and tapped it, snarling, "Prove my god—pfft!"

The girl spat on Pei Xia's head. No, although Lu Li's supernatural powers are strong, she's too young, and the target is too large.

The depletion of computing power would inevitably strain her nerves, causing her internal blood and qi to surge, and she may have been seriously injured just now.

Pei Xia reached out and touched the top of her head with a pained expression, then saw that her hand was covered with transparent mucus, with some tiny yellow-green spots.

"What is this?"

“Uh… cultivation essence blood.” Pear wiped the corner of her mouth.

"Is your vein filled with minced meat and vegetable scraps?"

Pei Xia's eye twitched: "Can you even do it?"

"No, really no, I'm too young. Maybe I can try when I'm a few years older."

"If you can't handle it, just give up!"

Lu Li looked down at Pei Xia's head; there was a steamed bun she had eaten for breakfast.

Sighing inwardly, she closed her eyes and resignedly lay down, tightly hugging Pei Xia's head.

Pei Xia's stern voice came from below: "Concentrate, stay true to yourself, put aside external distractions, and look straight ahead."

She knew what Pei Xia was going to do. This time, Lu Li dared not be careless in the slightest, and her eyes once again turned to the distant city wall.

A piercing, excruciating pain spread from the depths of Pei Xia's mind to Lu Li's senses.

The extreme pain almost crushed her in an instant; if she hadn't tried it in her early years, she would never have been able to withstand such pressure.

"Two breaths, any more and it will damage your very foundation, hurry!" Pei Xia roared.

The towering city walls and imposing city gates came into Lu Li's view. She shouted in a deep voice, "Prove my... supernatural powers!"

The light and shadow distorted in an instant.

The inner city gate is gone!

With a loud "boom," the heavy iron gate, which was nearly a hundred feet away, was suddenly teleported to Pei Xia's side and collapsed onto the road!
No, have you ever seen a thief break into a door?

The men at the city gate were all stunned.

Does this count as robbing everyone of their livelihood?
There was no time for them to reminisce. The city gates slammed shut, raising a cloud of dust with a deafening roar. Pei Xia reined in his horse, and the steed leaped out of the dust cloud.

With a swing of his three-foot iron rod imbued with golden energy, he severed the tips of more than ten spears. The force continued, bursting through the leather protective gear of the soldiers and destroying the horse barricade as well!
Pei Xia was in front, and Xu Shangxin was behind. The two of them rode their horses without stopping and passed through the inner city gate!

The city gate guards, still shaken, looked up at their captain in astonishment as they watched the two figures disappear: "Wouldn't we be considered to have failed in our duties?"

The middle-aged captain adjusted his helmet, his gaze fixed on the lonely city gate at the other end of the street: "Ask it."

Once outside the inner city, Xu Shangxin felt her heart pounding.

She could never have imagined such a dramatic change to the city gates.

But when she looked up and saw that Xiao Luli seemed to have no strength as she slid off Pei Xia's back, she immediately realized that this was not an easy task.

She quickened her pace, caught up with Pei Xia, and called out to him, "What do we do now?"

The outer city was much larger than the inner city. When the two horses arrived at the inner city gate, the gate was already closed, not to mention the outer city.

Moreover, the inner city gate is merely a boundary separating areas, but the outer city gate is meant to defend against external enemies. Not to mention its wide and heavy structure, the gate itself is covered with array formations. Even top-tier cultivators would likely be deterred by its grandeur.

Pei Xia tucked the limp Lu Li under her arm and replied, "Let's go to the academy!"

"Academy?"

The man clenched the small animal tooth in his palm: "Yes, the academy."
