Chapter 518: Chapter 518: Dead of Night, Murder

At this moment, in courtyard number four of the instructor’s residential area, Zhai He held a long knife in his hand, slashing at the training dummy in the courtyard like a madman.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Zhai He cursed as he chopped, his anger reaching the sky.

The iron-cast dummy rang with a clang and sparked under the force of the blows.

As for the long knife in Zhai He’s hand, it had long been nicked and notched.

"Shit! Shit!" Even with the blade curving, Zhai He continued to swing wildly.

After a few swipes, with a loud bang, the blade and hilt completely broke apart.

Zhai He, panting heavily, looked at the dummy in front of him and furiously punched it.

The dummy emitted a loud roaring sound as its chest caved in, forming a punch mark three to four centimeters deep.

"Going too far!" Zhai He spat out another curse before finally reining in his Inner Qi.

He truly wanted to kill Lu Xiao.

But Lu Xiao’s identity made it impossible for him to act.

The disciple of Xuanyuan Panshi, that identity was too frightening.

If Lu Xiao died, Xuanyuan Tomb would surely come seeking accountability.

By then, the entire Zhai Family would be doomed.

"It’s best to use someone else’s hand to do the killing," Zhai He narrowed his eyes.

Acting on his own was definitely out of the question, and even hiring an assassin to secretly kill Lu Xiao wouldn’t work, since many witnessed today’s events. If Lu Xiao died suddenly and inexplicably, suspicion would definitely fall on him.

So, if Lu Xiao must be killed, it had to be done openly and by someone uninvolved.

"Perhaps I could use those freaks," Zhai He muttered under his breath.

The Holy Land wasn’t the only one; other than Xuanyuan Tomb, there were also people from several other Holy Lands within the First Academy.

If they took care of Lu Xiao, then there would be no issue at all.

It might even spark conflict between Holy Lands.

...

Lu Xiao wandered around the Academy for the whole afternoon, and to tell the truth, the First Academy was really huge.

Especially the two mountains enclosed by the Academy, stretching as far as the eye could see.

As evening approached, there were hardly any people left in the Academy.

Lu Xiao didn’t return to the students’ living area but instead hid directly among the greenery in the instructors’ residential area.

About half an hour later, the red light descended.

Lu Xiao didn’t delay and immediately made his way towards courtyard number four.

He had scoped out the location of courtyard number four during the day and had even stolen a glance from afar—Zhai He had been there all afternoon.

Because he had to avoid being seen, Lu Xiao could only move under the cover of the greenery, which took quite a bit more time.

By the time he reached the exterior of Zhai He’s courtyard, twenty minutes had already passed.

Lu Xiao did not immediately rush in, instead continuing to squat in the bushes to absorb the red superpower released by the Red Eyes.

With Red Eyes above him, Zhai He wouldn’t leave the courtyard for the entire night, so there was no rush.

Lu Xiao squatted in the bushes for three hours.

Of course, throughout these three hours, he wasn’t just squatting; he took the opportunity to train a little.

Although the time was short, there was some progress.

Regarding Inner Qi, Lu Xiao dared not act recklessly now. He planned to fully understand the theoretical knowledge before proceeding, so he could only work on his superpower. With no prior experiences to draw upon, he mostly had to rely on trial and error.

Fortunately, his luck hadn’t been too bad, and everything was going smoothly up until now.

"OK, the night is deep, time to kill," Lu Xiao exhaled a breath and then leapt into Zhai He’s residence in a whoosh.

"Who’s there!" As soon as Lu Xiao’s feet hit the ground, Zhai He’s startled voice came from inside the house.

Lu Xiao was not surprised at being discovered by Zhai He.

Zhai He was, after all, a Demi Immortal of the Half-Immortal Realm Fifth Level.

If the enemy had entered his courtyard and he had not noticed, that would have been strange indeed.

"It’s me, Lu Xiao." Since he had been discovered, Lu Xiao didn’t hide his presence. He replied with a laugh and then stepped into the pavilion in the courtyard.

Creak!

The next second, the house door was flung open with a bang.

At the door, Zhai He looked at Lu Xiao in the pavilion, his brows furrowed deeply.
