#168 - Chapter 168 Chen Heng escapes
Chen Heng looked at the skills being released from the academy and then glanced at the bandits who were constantly dodging. He roared furiously:
"The enemies have been weakened. Even if you use your bodies to withstand the damage from skills of the same level, it won't cost you your lives. Charge forward for me!"
Upon hearing these words, the surrounding bandits immediately quickened their skill release speed and ran forward a few steps.
However, these bandits quickly returned to their previous state, moving slowly again.
Seeing this, Chen Heng's eyes turned fierce. He turned away from the bandits and went to a hidden place to set up a formation.
When the bandits saw Chen Heng leave, their attack frequency decreased again.
However, as Chen Heng finished setting up the formation, the surrounding chains suddenly released a red mist that merged into the bandits' bodies.
Immediately, the eyes of these bandits turned bloodshot, their rationality gradually faded, and they charged towards the academy recklessly.
Under the reckless attacks of these bandits, the professionals responsible for defending Star Moon Academy quickly died.
The outermost defense line of Star Moon Academy was soon occupied by the bandits.
Seeing this, Chen Heng shouted, "People of the academy, listen up! We only want to slaughter the instructors of this academy and the students who have not awakened their professions. It has nothing to do with the rest of you.
As long as you leave, I guarantee I won't hunt you down. If you don't believe me, you can sign a contract with me!"
Then, Chen Heng directly took out a contract and controlled it to fly into the high sky above the academy.
Originally, Chen Heng didn't plan to use the contract, wanting to eliminate everyone.
But now that the Trapping Dragon Formation had been destroyed and could no longer stop other enemies, he could only let a group of people leave.
Inside Star Moon Academy, the principal saw the contract and immediately condensed a burst of energy, wanting to tear it up.
At this moment, a professional beside him also released a burst of energy, shattering the principal's energy.
Seeing this, the principal roared furiously, "Are you preparing to defect to the enemy?"
The professional who stopped the principal looked embarrassed and explained:
"Star Moon Academy is the foundation for our group's development. If the academy is destroyed by the bandits, there will be no place for our group to stay. We are one entity. You shouldn't question us like this.
The reason I stopped you from destroying the contract is because the bandits can create a second contract at any time. If there are traps in this contract, it will be troublesome."
After saying these words, the professional lowered his head, no longer looking directly into the principal's eyes.
In fact, the professional's words sounded good, but in his heart, he chose to surrender and leave.
Although his group would not be able to continue developing after the academy was destroyed, it was better for the group to not develop than to be completely annihilated.
The principal looked at the professional who lowered his head, understood his thoughts, and became even more angry, his eyes filled with flames that seemed ready to erupt.
However, looking at the other professionals around him who were also lowering their heads, the principal's angry emotions quickly dissipated.
The principal slumped back into his chair in despair. After a moment of silence, he stood up again and reminded coldly:
"I will activate all the contracts and forcibly order you to stay and defend the academy. If you escape, then wait for the contract's punishment!"
Then, the principal quickly left, leaving everyone in silence for a moment. Someone looked up at the contract in the sky and, in a daze, ordered: "Do your best to eliminate the bandits until one-third of the professionals have died in battle!"
The others silently nodded and walked towards the dangerous front line, launching attacks on the bandits!
Next, the professionals in the academy died quickly. Although the bandits could ignore the effects of the formation, they would still be injured in continuous combat.
When the injuries accumulated, the bandits' bodies would soon be unable to withstand it, either suffering serious injuries and falling unconscious or dying directly.
Outside the academy, as the bandits continued to die, Chen Heng's emotions became increasingly volatile.
When several hundred bandits had died, a trace of disappointment appeared on Chen Heng's face.
Then, Chen Heng took out a prop and crushed it. The prop released a mist that enveloped Chen Heng's body, instantly teleporting Chen Heng away.
The bandits were unaware and continued to attack frantically.
At this time, thousands of meters away, the formation masters of the Iron Hand Gang were setting up formations under the protection of others.
Fang Che was staying with the formation masters, helping them set up the formations together.
Previously, after discussions among the various groups, they chose to act separately, besieging Star Moon Academy from different directions to prevent bandits and other professionals from escaping.
Along the way, the members of the Iron Hand Gang found some of the formation cores and recognized them as part of the Dragon Slaying Formation.
If they directly destroyed the Dragon Slaying Formation, the professionals of Star Moon Academy would regain their full strength, which was not in everyone's interests.
After a brief communication, the various groups decided to set up formations specifically targeting and isolating the effects of the Dragon Slaying Formation.
As for ignoring the Dragon Slaying Formation, Fang Che was unable to figure it out in a short period of time due to the lack of bandits as a reference.
In order to save time, everyone chose to set up formations to isolate the effects.
After continuous efforts and communication, all the groups had now arrived thousands of meters away from the academy, forming a large encirclement.
At this moment, a professional who was good at sensing came to Li Xing's side and reported:
"Vice Leader, there are strong teleportation fluctuations in the direction of the academy. Someone has ignored the Dragon Slaying Formation's spatial blockade and successfully escaped the Emperor Plane!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xing frowned and said, "We need to advance another hundred meters before we can reach the core of the Dragon Slaying Formation and change its teleportation rules.
The person who escaped is very familiar with the weaknesses of the Dragon Slaying Formation. He must be the controller of the Dragon Slaying Formation. This time, letting him escape will definitely reduce the rewards for solving the bandit disaster, what a pity."
Zhang Yuan interjected, "This subordinate thinks it's good that the person ran away. There are too many people who want to kill him, but he only has one life. Our Iron Hand Gang may not be able to snatch it from others.
Now that this person has run away, the plane's will will definitely issue assassination missions. Then our opportunity will come!"
Li Xing sighed and said, "Once a person runs away, it's difficult to catch them, but what you said also makes sense. Everything depends on luck."
Next, the members of the Iron Hand Gang continued to move forward and set up formations.
Before long, the group arrived near the next core formation of the Dragon Slaying Formation.
The formation masters quickly took out materials and added them to the Dragon Slaying Formation, quickly modifying the teleportation rules of the Dragon Slaying Formation.
At this time, no one could use teleportation props to leave within the Dragon Slaying Formation.
After the teleportation rules were modified, Li Xing handed a storage ring to Fang Che and said:
"Fang Che, next we will be fighting the bandits and the professionals of Star Moon Academy. You are weak, so you don't need to continue forward.
You just stay near here and use the resources in the storage ring to set up destruction formations. After we finish the battle, you will destroy the Dragon Slaying Formation according to instructions."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che nodded and said, "Understood, I will guard this place well."
Then, under the leadership of Li Xing, the members of the Iron Hand Gang quickly left the formation area.
Fang Che stayed in place, took out the materials from the storage ring, and set up destruction formations on the Dragon Slaying Formation.
Before long, the formation was set up successfully. Fang Che hid aside, took out a communication token, and waited for the order to destroy the Dragon Slaying Formation.
