Chapter 387 Do What Needs to Be Done, and Accept That It Might Not Go as Planned
He was completely confused about what was happening, but Tang Wumou vaguely felt that the man in front of him seemed to be mentally unstable...
But the aura emanating from this man was at the Saint level! This made Tang Wumou directly panic!
Being a lunatic was scary enough, but a Saint-level lunatic was even more terrifying. Tang Wumou quietly took a step back, preparing to escape with Qiao Yu first.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, it was clear that Bai Shiyan wanted to kill him. A green hill is no worry of firewood, so it was best to escape first!
Tang Wumou turned around and ran. Although the Saint-level man in front of him was injured, he wasn't someone a Emperor-level like Tang Wumou could deal with. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse.
Little did he know that this action, in Bai Shiyan's eyes, only confirmed that Tang Wumou was that mysterious powerhouse!
If you weren't, then why would you run?
"Mu Wang!"
Bai Shiyan roared, and Mu Wang immediately reacted.
As a Saint-level wood mage, Mu Wang himself possessed extremely strong self-healing abilities. As long as he wasn't instantly blasted into smithereens, even if his heart was shattered, Mu Wang could regenerate it with his self-healing ability.
This was also a passive skill exclusive to wood mages, and at this moment, he had recovered seventy to eighty percent.
"Wooden Barrier!"
Mu Wang waved his staff, and four towering wooden walls surrounded Tang Wumou and Qiao Yu in the center.
Tang Wumou tried to attack, but how could he break through Mu Wang's defense?
Bai Shiyan jumped up and punched towards Tang Wumou's head. He had already suffered a great loss at Ji Pingyang's hands, and now he happened to encounter a mysterious powerhouse secretly helping Qiao Yu. How could Bai Shiyan let the other party go?
Old unlucky ghost Tang Wumou's face instantly turned pale.
He just wanted to snatch a middle-level body, it wasn't like he had violated the laws of heaven. Was it necessary for two Saints to deal with a Emperor?
What was the difference between this and using a cannon to kill a mosquito?
"Dark Shadow Descent!"
Tang Wumou released a big move as if struggling before death. Countless shadows rushed out of his body, transforming into ferocious beasts that opened their mouths to bite at Bai Shiyan, but it was useless!
His attack was like paper in front of Bai Shiyan's fist, directly crushed to pieces, and along with it, Tang Wumou's body!
However, no one noticed that at the moment Tang Wumou's body shattered, a wisp of black shadow escaped out of the house like a ghost.
Qiao Yu's expression was very strange. Tang Wumou's death was too unjust. The blame he took was really solid.
Tang Lan was also a little dazed. She didn't expect that her enemy was still smug the second before, and the next second his ashes were scattered by someone.
Maybe this is the impermanence of life, sausage wrapped in glutinous rice.
"Hehe, my good nephew, what a coincidence!" Bai Shiyan showed a smile to Qiao Yu, but the smile looked a little creepy no matter how you looked at it.
"What a coincidence, Uncle!" Qiao Yu grinned, but secretly cursed in his heart.
Tang Wumou was dealt with, but Bai Shiyan, who was even more difficult to deal with, came along. He really just left the wolf's mouth and entered the tiger's den.
However, seeing that Bai Shiyan and the others were all injured, Qiao Yu's heart instantly rose.
It seemed that Bai Shiyan and the others still had the strength to fight, so the result of that battle... was Ji Pingyang lost?
Qiao Yu's heart suddenly felt a trace of fear. Although he hadn't known Ji Pingyang for a long time, Ji Pingyang was indeed one of the few people who treated him well from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you going to obediently surrender, or do I have to do it?" Bai Shiyan stared at Qiao Yu calmly.
"I know, I know!" Qiao Yu sighed, picked up the forbidden shackles that had just been opened on the ground, and helplessly put them back on himself.
When you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head.
Bai Shiyan nodded in satisfaction, but at this moment, a black hole suddenly appeared in the space next to him. A huge bone hand stretched out from the black hole and grabbed Qiao Yu into it.
"Who?!"
Mu Wang manipulated the vines to stab straight, but was directly swatted away by another bone hand. Then the black hole began to slowly close.
Mu Wang wanted to continue, but was stopped by Bai Shiyan.
"No need to bother, it's that old necromancer."
Bai Shiyan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and there was even a hint of coldness.
"Without Ji Pingyang, the remaining people in Kyoto are not strong enough to stop me! It's not too late to deal with them slowly after I recover from my injuries! Let them jump around for a while longer!"
"The Bai Ze have been resting for so long, it's time for them to do something!"
Bai Shiyan always sought stability, he didn't like to do things he wasn't sure of.
Seeing the familiar undead space, Qiao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Professor Shen holding a thermos cup, but at this moment, Professor Shen's expression was very serious.
Qiao Yu was about to ask about Ji Pingyang's situation when Shen Jianshu spoke.
"Where are Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi? We have to return to Kyoto as soon as possible. Something happened, Principal Ji... he might not survive."
Qiao Yu was instantly stunned. Even though he had guessed it when he saw Bai Shiyan just now, he still felt a dull pain in his chest.
Qiao Yu clenched his fists tightly, and blood flowed out along his fingers.
So much time had passed, it was definitely too late to go back and save Ma Benwei.
Ma Benwei wasn't saved, and Principal Ji also encountered an accident...
The achievements he had made in the battle competition made Qiao Yu a little carried away for a while, but reality quickly gave him a heavy punch.
He was indeed one of the best geniuses in the younger generation, but his opponents were never those younger generations...
Qiao Yu felt a strong sense of powerlessness and confusion for the first time.
Perhaps... he should have been taken away by Hua Ci from the beginning, in that case, Zuo You wouldn't have become Pandora, Ma Benwei wouldn't have died, and Principal Ji wouldn't have had an accident...
Qiao Yu began to doubt whether the path he had chosen all along was really the right one?
Or... what kind of path should he choose to be the right one.
A warm hand gently rested on Qiao Yu's shoulder at this moment. Shen Jianshu seemed to see the confusion in the young man's eyes.
"Don't feel guilty, you've already done a good job. If you hadn't notified me in time, Principal Ji wouldn't have possibly survived, but definitely wouldn't have survived."
Qiao Yu took a deep breath and raised his head hesitantly.
"Professor Shen, is there always so much powerlessness and regret in a person's life? If I am strong enough, can I avoid these!"
Shen Jianshu's hand holding the thermos cup stiffened slightly, and then he smiled.
Looking at Qiao Yu's stubborn and youthful face, Shen Jianshu couldn't help but recall his youth.
Shen Jianshu reached out and gently rubbed Qiao Yu's head.
"Qiao Yu, true strength is not being able to calmly accept applause and flowers when you are standing high; but having the courage to resist and not bowing to fate when you are at the lowest point in your life."
"In a person's life, there are very few things that you can decide. Try to do what you should do, and accept that things don't always go as you wish."
"Even if you are strong enough, you will still have regrets about some things. For example, no matter how strong you are, no matter how excellent you are, you can't force a woman who doesn't love you to fall in love with you, and you can't stop her from marrying someone else."
Shen Jianshu took a sip of hot tea, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, as if he had recalled some bad memories.
Qiao Yu nodded as if he understood.
"Professor Shen, I don't quite agree with the last sentence! If I am strong enough, I can kill her husband and tie her up! Affection will grow over time!"
