The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

"Let's start with you, student council president."

"I'll remember, my name is Yan Yu."

The voice of the strange man Yan Yu echoed in the basin.

As the last word fell, his figure faded away on the spot, turning into a wisp of black smoke that was barely visible to the naked eye.

A bone-chilling cold gripped An Changqing, and all the muscles in his body tensed up in anticipation of extreme danger.

The sword in his hand hummed.

Without a moment's hesitation, he unleashed an extremely solid sword aura straight towards the empty space ahead.

However, the sword energy only cut through the air, leaving a bottomless wound on the distant mountain wall.

There was no one in front of him.

Yan Yu's figure never moved an inch.

Or rather, his movement was an illusion that transcended the limits of vision.

He appeared before An Changqing like a ghost, extending a slender finger.

Dark demonic power swirled around his fingertips, which touched the tip of the sword that An Changqing had offered.

clang!

A deafening clang of metal clashing.

A tremendous force capable of overturning mountains and seas emanated from the tip of the sword, easily shattering all the defenses he was so proud of.

The impact lifted him off the ground, sending him flying backward.

While still in mid-air, he spat out a mouthful of blood mist and crashed heavily onto the ground more than ten meters away.

The sword, having slipped from his grasp, plunged into the earth, its blade trembling violently and emitting a mournful cry.

One finger, and the chief loses.

Long Ao reacted quickly, his fists covered in a blazing white light, and he transformed into a cannonball, charging straight toward Yan Yu.

"Die!"

His fist, brimming with rage, gathered all his strength and slammed solidly into Yan Yu's chest.

The fist went right through it.

It has no physical form.

Long Ao's fist struck the air.

The feeling of having all his strength gathered only to have it completely vanished left him with a tightness in his chest.

What he hit was merely an afterimage left behind after a speed of extreme speed.

"The power is good, but unfortunately, it's too slow."

Yan Yu's disdainful voice rang in his ears.

Long Ao felt a sudden alarm, but it was too late to turn back and defend.

A hand gently touched his chest.

The palm seemed to have no strength, but the moment it touched Long Ao's body, the blazing white light protecting him dissipated like thin paper.

Click!

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

Long Ao's body was bent into a shrimp shape, and his sternum collapsed inward in a visible arc.

His eyes widened in horror, and he followed in An Changqing's footsteps, flying backward and leaving a long ditch in the ground before falling silent.

【? ? ? 】

One hit, one kill? This is only level eight? This is at least level nine!

[Even Long Ao and An Changqing can't hold on, how can they possibly fight?]

[Is Yan Yu's ability to become ethereal?]

The moment Long Ao was knocked away, Su Yuehe began to mobilize her power.

An invisible wave emanated from her. She stared at Yan Yu, her lips slightly parted, preparing to weave rules of language that could bind him.

Yan Yu didn't even move.

He simply turned his head and glanced at Su Yuehe with his golden vertical pupils.

Just one glance.

A vast surge of demonic power, mixed with a savage spiritual impact, violently swept over, directly tearing apart the incantation structure that Su Yuehe had just condensed.

puff!

Her mental world was violently shaken, and a sweet taste rose in her throat.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and his body went limp as he collapsed.

In the blink of an eye, the three main characters were all wiped out.

The entire basin was deathly silent.

Only Chen Guan, still carrying the coffin, stood in the same spot.

He supported Su Yuehe's body, letting her lean against the coffin behind him, and then fed An Changqing and Long Ao medicine to ensure that the two would not die immediately.

Throughout the entire process, his gaze never left Yan Yu, and Yan Yu did not stop him, but simply watched with great interest.

The live chat was filled with desperate wails.

Chen Guan's breathing remained steady. He didn't know why Yan Yu hadn't attacked him, but he knew that he was waiting for An Changqing and the others to close their eyes.

He asked Baal in his mind, "Is his ability spatial, or illusionary?"

"Heh heh, neither." Baal generously provided the answer, curious about what this human would do in the face of absolute power: "It's a very ancient and rare ability. The last time I saw it was hundreds of years ago. It allows him to exist between reality and illusion, making him immune to most physical attacks, and enabling him to move at supersonic speeds using his shadow. Look, there's no shadow under his feet."

Chen Guan's gaze fell on Yan Yu's feet, where there was indeed no space.

Between reality and illusion?

In other words, psychological attacks are the most effective method.

Yan Yu looked at him and said with a smile, "Do you know why I didn't kill you? I remember, your name is Chen Guan?"

This was also something Chen Guan couldn't understand: "I don't know."

Just then.

A thunderous roar erupted from the sky, shattering their communication.

"stop!"

The voice was filled with anger, carrying a weight that demanded obedience.

Boom!

A blinding bolt of lightning, like a divine punishment spear, descended from the sky, forcefully tearing open the demonic energy seal that enveloped the entire valley.

A huge gap was torn open in the black sky, allowing outside light to stream in.

As the lightning dissipated, a towering figure, as imposing as a mountain, stood in front of Chen Guan.

It is Li Yan.

He was bathed in pulsating electric arcs, his face grim, and the fury in his eyes almost scorching the air.

His appearance finally gave this cage of despair a chance to breathe.

Holy crap, Li Yan is so handsome!

[Saviors have arrived! We're saved!]

[Teacher Li is so handsome!]

The atmosphere in the live chat instantly shifted from despair to ecstasy.

Yan Yu stopped what she was doing.

He withdrew his foot and looked at Li Yan, who had suddenly appeared. A hint of impatience flashed across his face, but that impatience quickly turned into amusement.

"Oh? A decent guard has arrived."

He sized up Li Yan, his golden vertical pupils regaining their interest: "At least eighth rank, huh? Too bad, do you think you can protect these fledglings all by yourself?"

Yan Yu finished speaking.

In the surrounding gray forest, pairs of crimson eyes, imbued with demonic power, lit up once more.

This time, it wasn't the Windblade Wolf that appeared.

Instead, they were a variety of demon races, each with a far more powerful aura than the Wolf King.

Their numbers far exceeded those of the previous wolf pack, completely surrounding the basin.

The hope that had just begun to rise was instantly suppressed again.

Li Yan didn't even glance at the demons around him. He stared at Yan Yu, his voice laced with anger: "Sealing off the secret realm and hunting down students, demons, you are declaring war on China and even all of humanity."

"Declare war? No, no." Yan Yu shook her finger and laughed, "This is just the opening ceremony of a grand feast, and you are the first appetizer."

Further discussion is pointless.

Li Yan stopped talking nonsense.

He turned around and growled at Chen Guan, the only person still standing behind him:

"I'll hold him off, you find a way to get the others out first."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Behind Yan Yu, two equally terrifying pressures rose up, and then two figures stepped out.

A person with a hunched back and bone spurs on their back.

The other was alluring and seductive, flicking out a snake's tongue.

Their aura was in no way weaker than Yan Yu's.

Three demon generals.

They formed a triangular formation, completely surrounding Li Yan.

Yan Yu's smile grew even wider. He spread his hands and gave a malicious sneer to Li Yan, whose face had hardened like iron.

"Professor Li Yan, it seems you're in trouble yourself."
