Chapter 498: Chapter 305: The Army Lord Returns, Slay

"Ah Zhen, have you decided not to go?"

Gao Nianzhen lay on the roof of the barracks, his eyes gazing listlessly at the azure sky of the Demon Mountain Realm.

"I’m not going!"

"Going by the time, Zhang Hu and his group should have already started fighting!"

"Sigh!"

Gao Nianzhen was rather dispirited. "Mr. Hu is no longer the Zhang Hu he once was! Over the years, we’ve competed with Feng Hua’s group, but we’ve also depended on each other for our lives on the battlefield. Now, to kick them when they’re down... I can’t do it!"

"Ah Zhen, what are your plans after graduation?"

"I don’t know. I’ll take it one step at a time."

Not all members of the Puppy Patrol agreed with Zhang Hu’s actions. A few, represented by Gao Nianzhen, were unwilling to suck up to Yuwen like Zhang Hu did. But at this critical juncture, it wasn’t appropriate for them to join Feng Hua’s group either.

As a result, Gao Nianzhen and the others stayed behind at the main camp.

Yu Wen Baji’s ability was bizarre, but not everyone was susceptible. According to private tallies within each class, about half the people had their mental state influenced by it.

Gao Nianzhen was not among them.

On the day of the counterattack, the Dragon Ridge Mountain main camp was left almost empty. Yu Wen Baji had thrown all his forces into the frontal assault. This was actually risky; if any Primordial Demons circled around and captured the camp, supplying the main army on the front lines would become very difficult.

Yu Fei traveled at lightning speed. After entering the Demon Mountain Realm, he used the information provided by Liu Ze to hurry toward the Dragon Ridge Mountain main camp.

’Ye Shuping’s many schemes were gradually taking effect, practically handing me the time, place, and people on a silver platter. If I don’t make my move now, who knows what other tricks he’ll pull?’

He was very unhappy with the old man’s scheming, especially since it involved the lives of his classmates. This was going too far!

So, Yu Fei had to go. He was afraid that if he was too late, something irreversible would happen again.

Sword Qi shot from his fingertip with a roar like Thunder Sound, covering hundreds of yards in an instant.

Yu Fei’s figure instantly appeared beside the Sword Qi. If he had been any later, the Sword Qi’s speed would have slowed down considerably.

By combining Sword Qi with his teleportation ability, he managed a makeshift form of flight. The speed wasn’t slow and the energy consumption was low, but it required him to constantly generate Sword Qi.

With a thought, Yu Fei would teleport three or four times, traversing a kilometer. After nearly five hours of this, he finally found the Dragon Ridge Mountain main camp.

In reality, the straight-line distance from the Cross-Border Black Fog to here was just over ten thousand kilometers. It was just that he had to take winding routes, sometimes got lost, and encountered many impassable domains, which was why it took so long.

He landed on the peak of Dragon Ridge Mountain and was stunned to perceive that the main camp was completely empty.

’Where is everyone? Did I come to the wrong place? Or...’

’That person over there looks familiar.’

Yu Fei quickly searched his memories. He recognized Gao Nianzhen. It was from a military exercise two years ago. During the celebration banquet afterward, Gao Nianzhen had tearfully complained to him. He said that as a support-type Martial Artist, he couldn’t accept being eliminated by a single shot from Yu Fei and insisted that Yu Fei had to down a bottle as penance.

Thanks to his ever-strengthening soul power, Yu Fei’s memory was much better than before.

With that thought, he activated his Silent Shadow Body and headed toward the central camp on East Mountain.

"Gao Nianzhen? What are you all doing here? Where is everyone else from the camp?"

Yu Fei suddenly revealed himself and asked the question, startling Gao Nianzhen.

He scrambled to sit up, his hand already on the hilt of his blade!

"You’re... Yu Fei?"

Gao Nianzhen found it hard to believe, mainly because he couldn’t connect the person before him with the Yu Fei from two years ago.

The person before him wore a fiery red greatcoat, and the golden Vermilion Bird embroidered on it was so vivid it seemed about to come to life.

What was even more unfathomable was the lofty, divine aura about Yu Fei. Gao Nianzhen couldn’t describe it; it was a subtle quality that seemed to naturally place him above all other living beings.

Looking at Yu Fei’s face, he seemed even younger than two years ago, and the Great Sun Sword Seal on his forehead appeared even more mysterious.

Gao Nianzhen then recounted everything that had happened, including Yu Wen Baji’s repeated humiliations, Zhang Hu’s betrayal, and the changes to the counterattack plan.

However, Gao Nianzhen didn’t know about Yu Wen Baji’s ability to warp their martial convictions, so his assessment of the state Jiang Nianwei and the others were in was flawed.

Listening to Gao Nianzhen’s story, Yu Fei’s brow furrowed slightly.

’Yuwen was able to kill two Tier Eight Primordial Demons consecutively and still have power left over. In terms of combat strength, we seem to be about the same. I’m just not sure what the difference in power is between a Tier Eight mechanical body and a Tier Eight Primordial Demon Royal Race.’

"Are you saying the battle has already started, and Jiang Nianwei and the others were treated differently and driven out of the main battlefield?"

Gao Nianzhen nodded.

"Yeah. Anyway, I couldn’t stand Yu Wen Baji’s behavior, and I didn’t want to be like Zhang Hu, so we just stayed behind in the camp!"

Seeing the obvious anger on Yu Fei’s face, for some reason, a sense of anticipation grew in Gao Nianzhen’s heart.

’This monster Yu Fei was able to thrash all three of our sophomore classes as a freshman. Later, I heard he was peerless on the Abyss Battlefield. I wonder if he has a chance against Yu Wen Baji.’

’Logically, Yuwen has two more years of cultivation than Yu Fei. He’s already a Grandmaster, has slain Tier Eight Primordial Demons on the battlefield, and his strength is off the charts.’

’But I’m still a little excited. Both of them are monsters. If they fight, there has to be a winner and a loser. I’ll get to enjoy some good drama.’

’Is Xiaoji really that arrogant?’

Yu Fei muttered to himself. Gao Nianzhen’s eyes widened. ’Is Xiaoji Yuwen’s nickname? I wonder if Yu Fei would dare to say it to his face. That would be a sight to see.’

"Gao Nianzhen, do you have a battle map? Help me point out the location of Matie Road!"

"I do. Follow me."
