The Great Song Dynasty: You were put in charge of teaching, and you produced a whole bunch of prime

Xue Gang's knife was as fast as lightning.

Jiang Lin could even feel the gust of wind from the blade scraping his cheeks painfully.

But he didn't move, not even blink.

Because he knew someone would make a move.

"clang!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing resounded in the cramped stone chamber, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Niu Aihua had somehow appeared in front of Jiang Lin, her two bull-ear-shaped daggers crossed in a cross shape, steadily blocking Xue Gang's powerful blow.

The immense force left two deep marks on the ground from Niu Aihua's feet, but her upper body remained completely still.

For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Xue Gang's face.

He used eighty percent of his strength in that strike, confident that even the fiercest generals in the army wouldn't dare to take it head-on. Yet, this seemingly not-so-strong woman in red actually caught it, and it appeared she even had some strength left to spare.

"Who are you?" Xue Gang's voice became serious.

"It's your father." Niu Aihua replied succinctly with two words, then suddenly flipped her wrist.

A subtle force traveled along the blade. Xue Gang felt a numbness in his wrist, and his grip on the knife became so weak that he was forced to take two steps back.

Master!

Xue Gang immediately realized that the woman in front of him was definitely a tough nut to crack.

He no longer held back, his eyes turning fierce, and the steel knife in his hand danced like a storm, engulfing Niu Aihua.

Instead of retreating, Niu Aihua advanced, her twin swords flashing up and down, transforming into silver barriers that blocked all of Xue Gang's attacks.

The clanging of weapons clashing was incessant, and sparks flew everywhere.

The small stone chamber was instantly transformed into an arena for two ferocious beasts to fight. Tables, chairs, and benches shattered under the force of their fierce battle.

Jiang Lin pulled Zhao Lingjun and retreated to the corner of the wall.

"Headmaster, aren't we going to help?" Zhao Lingjun asked nervously, watching the thrilling fight unfold.

"Would we be making things worse?" Jiang Lin asked calmly. "In a battle of this level, going in would just be suicide. Trust Niu Aihua."

He said this, but his eyes were rapidly scanning the entire stone chamber, searching for a way to escape.

He knew that although Niu Aihua could temporarily hold off Xue Gang, the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for them. The guards outside could return at any moment.

The battle on the field has reached a fever pitch.

Xue Gang's swordsmanship was expansive and powerful, with each strike carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Niu Aihua's knife skills were more agile and more deadly. She didn't fight Xue Gang head-on, but rather, like a slippery, venomous snake, she always managed to attack Xue Gang's vitals from the most unexpected angles.

The two had exchanged more than thirty blows in the blink of an eye, and neither had gained the upper hand.

"Damn it! What are you two standing there for! Come in and help!" Xue Gang, frustrated by his inability to break through, roared at the door.

Outside the door, two black-clad guards who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion peeked inside. Upon seeing the scene, they immediately drew their swords and charged in.

"Miss Niu, let's finish this quickly!" Jiang Lin shouted in a low voice.

Niu Aihua's eyes sharpened, and she no longer held back her strength.

With a sharp cry, her aura suddenly changed. If she was a venomous snake before, now she was an enraged tigress.

Instead of parrying, she used her twin swords in a mutually destructive manner, stabbing directly at Xue Gang's chest.

Xue Gang was taken aback, never expecting this woman to be so fearless. He dared not meet her head-on and could only dodge to the side.

In the instant he dodged, Niu Aihua's free left hand shot out with lightning speed and grabbed the neck of a guard who rushed up from the side.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound of bone cracking.

Before the guard could even scream, his head drooped down at an odd angle.

Niu Aihua casually tossed the corpse toward another guard like trash, then took advantage of the opening to pounce on him, her dagger flashing as it slashed toward Xue Gang's throat.

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

Xue Gang broke out in a cold sweat and rolled on the spot, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

But his shoulder was still slashed open by the blade, leaving a deep gash that exposed bone, and blood instantly stained half of his body red.

"You madman! You crazy woman!" Xue Gang was both shocked and furious, clutching his wound and backing away repeatedly.

Just then, from the other end of the tunnel came a series of footsteps and shouts.

"They're over here! Quick! Surround them!"

Jiang Lin's expression changed drastically: "This is bad! Their main force is back! We're surrounded!"

Niu Aihua dealt with the remaining guard and returned to Jiang Lin's side, her eyes grave: "Headmaster, what do we do now? Fight our way out?"

"No, there are too many people." Jiang Lin quickly thought of a solution.

The stone chamber had only one exit, which was now blocked. They were trapped like fish in a barrel.

"Shen Kuo! Shen Kuo, where the hell are you?!" Jiang Lin shouted towards the other end of the tunnel.

His only hope now rests on that unreliable scientist.

It was as if she had heard his call.

"Headmaster! Here!"

Shen Kuo's voice came from the other end of the tunnel. Immediately afterwards, a dark object flew in an arc towards the entrance of the stone chamber.

Xue Gang and the guards who had just rushed to the door were stunned and instinctively stepped back.

The thing fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, from which some yellowish-green, bubbling, viscous liquid oozed out.

An extremely pungent smell, similar to a mixture of a thousand rotten eggs and rotten salted fish, instantly filled the air.

"vomit……"

The guards at the gate were caught off guard. Upon smelling the odor, they felt their stomachs churning and bent over, vomiting on the spot.

Even the injured Xue Gang was so affected by the fumes that his face turned blue and he had to back away repeatedly.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

"Oh my god! It stinks! It's suffocating me!"

The formation at the entrance instantly fell into chaos.

"Great opportunity! Let's go!" Jiang Lin made a decisive move, pulling Zhao Lingjun along with Niu Aihua, and squeezed through the gaps between the guards who were still vomiting.

"Don't let them get away! Cough cough... Chase after them!" Xue Gang roared, barely suppressing his nausea.

Jiang Lin and his group broke through the encirclement and saw Shen Kuo standing at a fork in the road not far away, waving frantically at them.

"Headmaster! This way!"

The four met up and ran deeper into the tunnel without looking back.

"What did you just throw?" Jiang Lin asked Shen Kuo as he ran.

"I've named this mixture of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia 'Devil's Fart,'" Shen Kuo said smugly.

"It's all-natural and pollution-free, but the taste is a bit strong. I also have an upgraded version, want to try it?"

"……roll!"

Behind them, Xue Gang and a group of men were in hot pursuit.

"Stop right there! You can't escape!"

"There's a dead end ahead! Surrender now!"

Jiang Lin glanced back and saw that the pursuers were getting closer and closer.

"This won't do; we'll be caught up sooner or later," Jiang Lin said, panting. "Shen Kuo, do you have any other ideas?"

"Yes!" Shen Kuo took out two small bamboo tubes from his pocket, one containing white powder and the other containing black powder.

"Magnesium powder and potassium permanganate," Shen Kuo explained, "when mixed together with a little water, produce intense light and high temperature, which I call 'solar flash.'"

"Stop talking nonsense! Use it!" Jiang Lin urged.

They ran to a three-way intersection. Jiang Lin glanced at the terrain and immediately had an idea.

"Niu Aihua, you stay here and block this road!" He pointed to a road on the left.

"Shen Kuo, let's go to the right. When they catch up, we'll give them a 'Sun Flash'!"

"Okay!"

Without a word, Niu Aihua planted the huge saber in the ground, stood there like an insurmountable mountain, blocking the passage on the left.

Jiang Lin then led Shen Kuo and Zhao Lingjun into the tunnel on the right.

Soon, Xue Gang and his men caught up with them at the fork in the road.

Seeing Niu Aihua standing alone in the roadside, Xue Gang sneered, "She's courting death! Attack her! Chop her up!"

A group of guards shouted and rushed forward.

Just then, a burst of white light, even more dazzling than the sun, suddenly erupted from the tunnel on the right!

"what!"

The sudden burst of bright light blinded everyone instantly, leaving them in a white blur and unable to see anything.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying heat wave swept over us.

"My eyes! I can't see!"

"It's hot! It's so hot!"

The pursuers were thrown into chaos instantly, screaming and howling.

"Go!" Jiang Lin's voice rang out amidst the chaos.

He pulled Zhao Lingjun, who was also blinded by the light, and followed Shen Kuo, who could vaguely make out the direction ahead, as they ran into the depths of darkness, stumbling along.

This time, they finally managed to shake off their pursuers temporarily.
