"You can't run. Hahaha..." The leading Blood Robe Person said smugly.
All dozen Blood Robe People were at the Great Martial Master Peak cultivation level. The three Tianwu Academy students were only at the Great Martial Master (high stage), their cultivation weaker than those Blood Robe People of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, it seems we're all going to die here. It's just a pity we can't go find reinforcements for the College," a tall, thin student said in despair.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, at worst, we'll all die here," another student laughed loudly.
"Hmph, since you're going to die, we'll send you to the afterlife!"
More than ten Blood Robe People from the Heavenly Demon Sect surrounded them and attacked together.
"Go to hell!"
A streak of blood-red light swept down from the void. Fierce saber energy crushed towards those Blood Robe People. This saber energy came too quickly and was incredibly powerful; those Blood Robe People didn't react in time and were crushed into meat paste by the saber energy.
This strike was Zhang Hao's doing.
"Ding dong!"
...
These Blood Robe People all turned into Zhang Hao's experience points.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving us."
The three Tianwu Academy students, seeing Zhang Hao suspended in the air, were startled. They naturally knew this was a Martial King Realm Martial Warrior. They quickly and respectfully shouted.
Zhang Hao touched his nose, feeling depressed. He had only been away from Tianwu Academy for a year, how did he become a Senior already?
"Don't call me Senior, I'm your Senior Apprentice Brother," Zhang Hao waved his hand.
"Senior Apprentice Brother?"
The three Tianwu Academy students were all a bit surprised. It was just that Zhang Hao's clothes didn't look right to them. However, they didn't recognize the Hao Xian Sect's attire. Otherwise, they would have been even more shocked.
"You... are you Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Hao?" one of the shorter youths looked at Zhang Hao and asked excitedly.
Zhang Hao looked at the youth and asked curiously, "You know me?"
the youth quickly shook his head and said very excitedly, "No... I've never met Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Hao, but our College has a statue of Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Hao."
"There's a statue of me?"
If Zhang Hao were eating right now, he would definitely spit out his food. Due to the influence of his previous life, on Earth, especially in China, only heroes who sacrificed themselves bravely had statues. Like Dong Cunrui, Lei Feng, and so on. Having a statue of him now felt truly strange.
Zhang Hao touched his nose in frustration and said sheepishly, "You can recognize me from the statue, it seems the statue is quite well-carved, huh?"
The shorter youth quickly nodded to Zhang Hao and said, "It's very similar, because the statue was made by Senior Ning Xue."
"Ever since Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Hao you shone brightly in the Sect assessment, the College erected your statue. Now you are a legendary figure in our Tianwu Academy!" another slightly fatter youth also said excitedly.
"Alright, let's not talk about this now. Quickly tell me, what's the situation at Tianwu Academy now?" Zhang Hao waved his hand at the youths and said.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Hao, please quickly rescue Tianwu City! Currently, many experts from the Heavenly Demon Sect are besieging Tianwu City. We were sent by the College to support Tianwu City in resisting the Heavenly Demon Sect's attack, but the Heavenly Demon Sect has many experts, so the Elder ordered us to break through and find reinforcements," the shorter youth seemed to remember something and quickly said to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao's expression turned serious and he said, "I understand, I'll go immediately."
Zhang Hao beckoned to the Hao Xian Sect Disciples in the void, then accelerated towards Tianwu City.
At this moment, in Tianwu City, a group of Heavenly Demon Sect followers were launching a fierce assault on Tianwu City. If not for the Tianwu Academy students resisting desperately, Tianwu City would have been breached long ago. But even so, under such a sharp attack from the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was only a matter of time before Tianwu City was breached.
Dou Bi, Ying Da, Zhang Jianfeng, and Jin Bao were also among the ranks of resistance.
Zhang Jianfeng's sword moved like the wind, each strike accurately killing a Heavenly Demon Sect follower. The Killing Intent on his body was extremely strong; clearly, during this time, countless Heavenly Demon Sect followers had died by his hand.
Jin Bao was as still as a mountain, with astonishing defense. Unlike his previous full figure, his muscles were now incredibly condensed, and he stood there like a small mountain. The Heavenly Demon Sect's attacks were all blocked by his Physical Body. And every time he slapped out with his palm, a Heavenly Demon Sect follower was killed.
Dou Bi and Ying Da had also experienced brutal battles. They were covered in blood. Although their fighting spirit was still high and their movements were still agile, their eyes showed signs of fatigue.
Even though they were all Great Martial Master Realm Martial Warriors, after continuous fighting for a day and a night, even an iron man couldn't endure it.
Especially with the Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Warriors still spread out in front, attacking wave after wave, seemingly endless. At this moment, ordinary Martial Warriors defending the city were not of much use; even Martial Masters were just courting death. Only Martial Warriors above the Great Martial Master level could play a role. But they couldn't play a decisive role. To play a decisive role, one needed to be at least a Martial King Realm Martial Warrior.
Although Dou Bi, Ying Da, Zhang Jianfeng, Jin Bao, and others had made great progress in the past year, the Martial King was still a peak Martial Warrior they had to look up to.
At this moment, in the void, four Tianwu Academy Elders at the Martial King (high stage) faced a Heavenly Demon Sect expert.
"Tsk tsk, you four pieces of trash dare to block this General, it's simply like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The Heavenly Demon Sect General sneered, then slashed out with a saber.
This strike was incredibly fierce; terrifying saber energy tore through the void. The blood-red saber light crushed down towards the four Tianwu Academy Elders.
The saber aura of this strike had already locked onto the four Tianwu Academy Elders. This strike, like Mount Tai pressing down, caused the four Elders' expressions to change drastically.
The four Elders quickly put forth all their effort to resist.
Heavy palm force struck towards that saber.
However, under this saber, the palm energy was as fragile as paper, instantly scattered. The terrifying saber energy, with irresistible force, crushed down onto the bodies of the four Tianwu Academy Elders.
"My life is over!"
"Pfft!"
Under that saber, three Elders were instantly killed. Only one Elder, relying on his extraordinary movement speed, escaped with his life, but even so, one of his arms was cut off.
"You... you're a Martial Grandmaster!" the Elder who escaped looked at the Heavenly Demon Sect General in horror.
"You guessed right, but there's no prize!"
The Heavenly Demon Sect General let out a sinister laugh and said, "However, I can send you on your way."
After the Heavenly Demon Sect General finished speaking, he slashed out with another saber. This strike, with the power of a mountain, once again crushed down towards the Tianwu Academy Elder.
At this moment, the Elder could no longer resist this strike and closed his eyes.
"How dare you!"
A figure descended from the sky and shattered the Heavenly Demon Sect General's saber energy with a punch.
