I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 24 Snatching Food from a Tiger's Mouth

Listening to the conversation between the top leaders of Horagaka Academy and those powerful demons, Shi Daohan grasped several important pieces of information.

Those powerful demons all mentioned the words "[Emperor]" and "[Funerary Objects]". Could this ancient and magnificent castle be the tomb of some demon emperor?

And the Adoran Scripture mentioned by those top executives of Horagaka Academy must also be something extraordinary.

Having grasped these two pieces of information, Shi Daohan had already made up his mind.

She gave a harmless smile and said, "I am Jiang Shangzhen, a rogue cultivator."

"You damned Taoist priest, why aren't you in your eastern lands seeking enlightenment? What are you doing here in our western territory?!" The great demon covered in blue scales stared coldly at Shi Daohan.

Compared to the magicians and alchemists of the Western lands, the demon race finds the cultivators of the East the most annoying and hateful.

Because in the distant past, their ancestors were driven away to the west by cultivators in the east, which is an irreconcilable feud.

Shi Daohan remained calm and composed: "This humble Taoist has been traveling far and wide. When I saw this strange phenomenon in the sky, I naturally came here to seek an opportunity."

"This is the mausoleum of my clan's Great Emperor. There is no opportunity for you here," the demon girl with golden wings said coldly.

[It really is the tomb of a great emperor of the demon race!] Shi Daohan was overjoyed and said, "Really? I think that altar and the parchment scroll on it are destined for me."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone from Horagaka Academy and the three-headed demon changed, filled with murderous intent.

"Let's all compete based on our own abilities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Daohan soared into the air and arrived in front of the huge platform in a flash.

"boom!"

An overwhelming pressure descended, but Shi Daohan reacted swiftly, throwing out a black-gold token to block the terrifying pressure that could instantly shatter a person.

"Buzz"

The black-gold token hovered in mid-air, rippling with mysterious and unpredictable Dao patterns, forming a special field that protected Shi Daohan from the Demon Emperor's oppressive attacks.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Shi Daohan stepped lightly on the breeze, only a step away from the Demon Emperor's platform, and the sheepskin scroll naturally fell into her hands.

Of course, that wasn't all; she also wanted to take the huge altar with her.

"Put down the parchment!"

Everyone below became agitated and shouted loudly.

"Shut up! Or I'll kill you all!" Shi Daohan coldly glanced down.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the castle fell silent. Everyone was under immense pressure, making it difficult to move or advance, except for Shi Daohan, who remained unaffected.

If she were to decide to kill him at this moment, none of them would be able to resist her.

Upon realizing this, the expressions of everyone from Horagaka Academy and the three-headed demon froze.

"How dare you covet and lay a finger on the Emperor's relics?" The great demon, whose body was covered in blue scales, stared intently at Shi Daohan with blood-red eyes.

"Why am I not worthy to touch it?" Unable to shake the massive platform, Shi Daohan turned to the great demon and slapped him across the face.

"Bang"

The powerful demon was unable to dodge and was sent flying backwards. However, he was quickly frozen in mid-air. The platform in the center of the castle imprisoned the space, and even someone as powerful as him could not break free.

"You can't kill me!"

The great demon's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty and wild light as it gritted its teeth and said coldly.

"Bang!"

Shi Daohan kicked out with such force and weight that it felt like a mountain falling, sending the great demon flying a great distance before it crashed heavily into a dragon-carved pillar, causing the entire hall to shake.

The other two great demons and the students from Horagaka Academy all changed color, never expecting that this seemingly young boy would possess such terrifying strength.

At this moment, everyone present had a solemn expression and felt uneasy, fearing that Shi Daohan would make a move against them.

She moved freely within the castle and soon arrived before the enormous demon, over ten zhang tall, adorned with a tall crown and ribbon, clad in heavy armor, and wielding a giant sword.

"You can't kill me," the great demon said in a deep voice, surrounded by a thick, heavy black mist that protected it.

Shi Daohan smiled sweetly: "I can't kill you, but I can certainly beat you half to death."

"Try it if you dare! I guarantee that you will pay tenfold for the humiliation you suffered today!" the great demon threatened in a deep voice, exuding an inexplicable aura.

"I dislike it when someone speaks to me in a warning or threatening tone." Shi Daohan kicked him away in mid-air.

Shi Daohan indeed couldn't kill these great demons. Beings that had cultivated for thousands of years were not so easy to kill.

"Boom!"

Just then, from the distant horizon came a series of whooshing sounds as streaks of divine light pierced the sky and flew toward them, numbering in the dozens.

"Boom!"

Then, as if a thousand troops were galloping, behind those dozens of divine rainbows came the roars and howls of savage beasts, the mist rolled, and the clouds covered the sky.

Dozens of savage beasts arrived riding on clouds, each carrying a powerful warrior clad in armor on its back.

Those savage beasts were all of different species, covered in thick, ferocious scales. The powerful figure riding on the central beast held a large banner in his arms, which fluttered in the wind, exuding immense power. Embroidered on the banner was a totem representing the affiliation of their faction.

"They're from the Laurent family!"

The students from Horagaka Academy looked outside, their faces showing surprise.

The Laurent family is one of the most prestigious and noble families in the British Empire, comparable to royalty in some respects, and is a powerful and transcendent force within the empire!

It was an extremely grand procession, with thirty-six divine rainbows in front and twenty-eight savage beasts carrying twenty-eight powerful warriors in iron armor behind, sweeping across the sky with thunderous roars, causing the heavens to tremble.

Shouts from men and howls from beasts filled the air, clouds and mist surged and billowed, and a murderous aura filled the sky!

Shi Daohan was secretly alarmed; these people were even more terrifyingly powerful than the thousand-year-old demons.

She didn't linger; she took the parchment scroll and turned to leave.

She was the only one in the room who was unaffected and could move freely, which inevitably made her the first target, contrary to her plan to take advantage of the chaos.

She turned and left immediately, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

"The Laurent family is quite impressive."

Just then, a cold voice came from another direction, and the sky rumbled as twenty-eight ancient Western chariots rolled across the sky.

"The Crown Guard family..." Upon seeing the twenty-eight ancient chariots, the members of the Laurent family all narrowed their eyes, quickly formed a square formation, and a murderous aura rose, their momentum soaring.

Both sides stopped, each occupying a section of the sky, facing each other from a distance.

"Each side competes based on its own strength."

After a brief standoff, a thunderous roar erupted from the Crownguard family, who then charged headlong into the ancient castle atop the black volcano. The Laurent family followed closely behind.

In the distance, Shi Daohan, who had successfully retreated, returned to the cliff he had been on before and hid there to observe.

Both of these forces are definitely major powers in the Western world.

"The Laurent family..." Shi Daohan vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had dealings with this family before.

At that time, she took over part of the family's business and did business with the Laurent family once, but it was just a business cooperation. All she knew was that the Laurent family was a transcendent family in the Western British Empire with a profound history.

Unexpectedly, he was a figure comparable to a titan in the magical world, making such a grand entrance.

As for the Crown Guard family, Shi Daohan had never heard of them, but being able to stand up to the Laurent family meant they must be one of the most powerful and influential forces in the Western world.

"Rumble rumble rumble"

It was as if a flood had swept across the sky as the two extraordinary powers, the Crownguard family and the Laurent family, rushed through the air and arrived before the ancient and magnificent castle.

The monsters all retreated decisively, sensing the danger.

On the other side, the powerful figures from Horagaka Academy also changed color.

The establishment of the Horagaka Magic Academy was supported by the Laurent family; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to establish a foothold in the magic world in less than a century.

They were affiliated with the Laurent family, but this time, the tomb of Diablo the Demon Lord had appeared, and they had not reported it to their superiors. Now that the family had sent people over on their own, they were at a loss.

Moreover, the Mianwei family sent people over immediately after receiving the news.

The simultaneous arrival of two transcendent powers from the magical world filled the strong members of Horagaka Academy with bitterness, knowing that this time they would likely gain little.

The Laurent family quickly surrounded the ancient castle, with dozens of ferocious beasts shaking their heads and tails.

The Crownguard family was equally defiant, deploying twenty-eight ancient chariots to block the sky, confronting the Laurent family and preventing the ancient and magnificent castle from suddenly soaring into the sky.

"You stay here and guard this place; do not let anyone near it."

Two elderly men from both the Laurent and Crownguard families stepped out and entered the castle.

With the addition of these two extraordinary powers, many of the restrictions within the ancient castle were broken, and dazzling divine rays of light shot out from within the castle.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be weapons gleaming with light!

The people guarding outside sprang into action and seized the divine light.

"Thump"

Suddenly, a violent tremor erupted, and an immense and unfathomable force surged forth from the castle, like a raging sea, sending all twenty-eight ancient war chariots of the Crown Guard family flying.

Meanwhile, the Laurent family's terrifying beasts and powerful warriors were all thrown into chaos.

Everyone's face turned pale, as if they had suffered a severe blow. They quickly retreated dozens of meters, not daring to get too close.

"boom!"

A fierce, intense, eerie light erupted from within the castle, so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

That vast and unfathomable demonic power surged and boiled like a tidal wave.

"That is..."

Shi Daohan was shocked to see some scenes inside the castle, including an ancient bell floating in mid-air, emitting a powerful and dazzling light.

"Thump"... "Thump"... "Thump"...

It trembled gently, rhythmically, the deep tolling of the bell resounding through heaven and earth, its unfathomable divine power sweeping across all directions.

"So that's what made that sound." Shi Daohan was shocked; the ancient bell was definitely of high quality.

The ancient bell flew out of the castle and was about to soar into the sky.

Its entire body was as red as blood, emitting waves of eerie light that dyed the entire sky blood red.

"Stop it!"

Anxious shouts came from inside the castle, followed by more than a dozen figures rushing out. The one at the very front was none other than the burly man who had been transformed from a skull!

At this moment, he was surrounded by an eerie green light, his skin was covered with demonic patterns, and the demonic aura and power he exuded were even more terrifying than the three great demons behind him.

His eyes were fixed on the ancient, blood-red bell, his eerie green eyes unwavering.

The two elders from the Laurent and Crownguard families rushed out of the castle, their faces grim, and ordered their respective factions to intercept the ancient bell.

Dean Donaldson and several top executives of Horagaka Academy also rushed out with grim expressions.

As for those few great demons, their faces were filled with resentment and anger. Faced with the two superpowerful families of the Western world, the Crown Guard Family and the Laurent Family, they were truly powerless and had no choice but to withdraw from the encirclement, preparing to wait for an opportunity to strike in the dark.

The eighteen ancient war chariots of the Mianwei family, arranged in a square formation, blocked the sky and intercepted the ancient bell that was about to soar into the sky.

Meanwhile, the Laurent family members also sprang into action, some casting flight magic directly, others riding on the backs of terrifying beasts, sealing off the surrounding area.

Both families simultaneously reached out their large hands, grabbing at the ancient bell that was as red as blood.

Of course, these giant hands were formed by magic and were not real flesh and blood.

Dozens of powerful figures from the two families attacked simultaneously, fighting each other while vying for the ancient bell.

Since the three great demons had already retreated, the burly man who was transformed from a skull was now all alone and seemed somewhat weak and vulnerable.

"boom!"

Just then, the ancient bell seemed to have broken some kind of restriction, emitting a loud bang, and a monstrous demonic power erupted in an instant, blasting everyone away.

Even with precautions, no one could withstand that incredibly violent force head-on.

The twenty-eight ancient war chariots of the Mianwei family were almost completely destroyed in an instant, and the experts and powerful figures on board were all crushed into dust.

The Laurent family also suffered heavy losses, with both humans and beasts being torn apart into clouds of blood mist by that violent and terrifying demonic power, dying tragically on the spot.

The demonic power emanating from that mysterious ancient bell, which was entirely blood red, was as vast and boundless as an abyss. The combined combat power of everyone present could not withstand it!
