Chapter 435 - 309: Wolf-headed Monsters, Black Scale Double Blade, Flower Knight (Part 3)

[Luo Yi became even more certain that this group of mist creatures possessed wisdom.]

[At this moment, the wolf-headed monster with black scales at its heart suddenly twitched its nose, as if it smelled some dangerous scent.]

[The leading monster suddenly forced a hissing sound from deep within its throat, and the hair on the back of its neck, covered with fine black scales, stood up straight. It slowly turned around, its dark red beastly eyes fixed on the shadow at the stairway.]

[That not-so-tall shadow had silently approached within three meters of them.]

[The rest of the wolf-headed monsters reacted, staring in unison at the Black Scale Claw Blade in Luo Yi’s hands, which still had pieces of flesh attached. Twelve pairs of beastly eyes contracted simultaneously, and a puppy-like whimper came from their throats.]

[The sound of pounding on the door came to an abrupt halt.]

[Both sides exchanged a glance, Luo Yi flicked the blood off the claw blade, a sinister arc appearing at the corner of his mouth, as he slowly approached.]

[The wolf-headed monsters were filled with dread toward this teenager, quietly retreating, holding their breath, daring not to make the slightest sound with their feet. The mist suddenly descended into an eerie silence.]

[Luo Yi had long since discovered that in the mist, these monsters had no vision either—they relied on sound and smell.]

["The noise outside seems to have stopped?!" a gentle female voice sounded from within the classroom.]

["Who will go out to see if those wolf-headed monsters are gone? Lu Wen, you’re the chief knight of Lily High School, the strongest man among us..."]

["Teacher Mary, I won’t go!"]

["Teacher Mary, let Delilah and them go take a look!" another female student’s voice chimed in.]

["Yes, let them go out!" a trembling male voice came from inside, "Maybe these monsters... once they’re full, they won’t eat us anymore!"]

["Yes, yes! Once they’re full, they won’t eat us anymore!" another girl echoed tearfully, pushing Delilah and several girls to the front.]

["Lu Wen! You’re a knight! You coward!" Diana yelled angrily.]

["I’m not a coward!"]

[Lu Wen was terrified. Although he was the "chief knight" of Lily High School, reaching the Second Blood Level at the mere age of sixteen, this was all due to his family providing Exotic Beast Flesh since he was young, and having consumed numerous precious Celestial Gifted Seeds.]

[But those monsters were different... even Three-blood Instructors, who were battle-hardened, were jointly taken down by five wolf-headed monsters—slain!]

[He was just a child, impossible to defeat these terrifying monsters from Hell!]

["Teacher Mary!" Diana, an untrained woman in knightly arts, her strength not matching others, screamed in despair, hoping to seek the teacher’s help.]

[In the corner, the beautiful teacher with glasses was trembling, her mind blank.]

["Ugh..."]

[Delilah’s fingertips scratched five white marks on the oak window frame, suddenly ceasing her struggle. Her azure pupils slightly enlarged, reflecting the blood-drenched figure in the corridor.]

[The others, puzzled, looked up along Miss Delilah’s gaze and suddenly froze, their hands pushing Delilah and Diana together stopping involuntarily.]

[They just stared dumbfoundedly outside the window.]

[The students crowded behind Diana widened their eyes, watching a blood-soaked youth, his appearance unclear, wielding the Black Scale Double Blade, and the wolf-headed monsters in front of him continuously retreating.]

[The sounds of their quarrels and tugs halted instantly.]

["What happened..."]

[Teacher Mary trembled as she asked, her tear-streaked face squeezing through a crack.]

[The pale face of the female teacher just peeked out, only to see—]

["Roar—!"]

[The sturdiest wolf-headed monster suddenly surged up, not rushing toward the young boy, but madly crashing into the stained-glass window on the other side of the corridor.]

["Swish—!"]

[A cold gleam flashed. The two-meter-tall figure had just leaped when it was pierced through the chest by the spinning Black Scale Claw Blade.]

[At the same time, the other wolf-headed monsters roared and pounced!]

[But the narrow corridor could only allow two abreast; the monster at the forefront had just begun to swing its claws halfway——]

[Luo Yi reversed his claw, the Black Scale Blade slicing through its throat like cutting through tofu! Before the head could fall, he spun and kicked, "crack" shattering the kneecap of the second monster!]

[Ordinary wolf-headed monsters without black scale protection were as fragile as wheat stalks before Luo Yi, who had become an "Official Knight"!]

[The claw blades traced arcs of death in the corridor, each swing bringing forth torrents of blood. Luo Yi moved through the wolf群, the blade carving open the throat of the third monster!]

[The last one turned to flee but was pierced through the back of the head by Luo Yi’s thrown bone splinter.]

[Within just ten seconds, the corridor returned to silence.]

[Luo Yi slowly exhaled a mouthful of Muddy Qi, crouched down, retrieving the Black Scale Claw Blade from the corpse, the two Black Scale Claw Blades hanging by his side, thick blood dripping down the blade tips with a "drip, drip".]

[Tap.]

[The sound of footsteps was exceptionally clear in the silent corridor.]

[The students in the classroom widened their eyes, watching the blood-soaked youth walk toward them step by step. His black hair clung to his forehead with blood, and the Lily High School uniform he wore was long torn to shreds in the fight.]

[This ghostly figure made everyone in the classroom shudder.]

[Teacher Mary’s lace gloves covered her lips, her meticulously arranged hairdo coming loose on one side, the pearl hairpin on the verge of falling off with her trembling.]

[Evidently, Teacher Mary and the others did not recognize the quiet, inconspicuous member of their class.]

[Luo Yi’s presence was indeed too low, plus he never attended Teacher Mary’s music classes...]

["This can’t possibly be human..." This thought frantically grew in everyone’s mind.]

[How could an ordinary boy possibly slaughter over a dozen wolf-headed monsters?]

[Undoubtedly, the being before them was not human, but a humanoid monster lurking within the eerie mist!]

[Someone unconsciously stepped back, knocking over the desk behind them.]

[Someone tightly covered their mouth, fearing to make the slightest sound.]

[The entire classroom seemed to have been cast with a petrification spell.]

[Until—]

[Tap.]

[Under the frightened gazes of everyone, Miss Delilah stood up, calmly tidying her slightly disheveled shirt, her high heels treading over shattered glass, casually tucking her scattered golden hair behind her ear.]

[Miss Delilah’s beautiful blue eyes rippled with shimmering light, staring unblinkingly at Luo Yi, and a hint of a smile suddenly bloomed on the girl’s face.]

["My Flower Knight."]

[She rose on tiptoe, wiping the blood crust from Luo Yi’s face with a clean cuff, "You’re late."]

[The boy instinctively wanted to retreat, yet was seized by the icy fingers grasping his wrist guard.]

["Sorry." Luo Yi didn’t want to exert too much force to break free, allowing Miss Delilah’s overly intimate gesture.]

["What? Delilah, you actually know this freak... person?"]
