Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 842

Chapter 842: 842

Jian Shen, injured, could only fight while retreating. Although his swordsmanship was remarkable, and every strike left scars on the Devil Incarnate’s body, it was futile as the Devil Incarnate completely ignored his wounds.

"What’s wrong, can’t defeat me?" the Devil Incarnate sneered, landing another solid hit on Jian Shen, making him feel like his body was about to fall apart.

Jian Shen didn’t give up and continued to entangle with the Devil Incarnate, stubbornly hanging on, but he was beaten back step by step, looking like he might give in at any moment.

Seeing a chance for victory, the Devil Incarnate continued his fierce onslaught, sending another palm strike that sent Jian Shen flying far away.

Jian Shen crashed into a wall and spat out another mouthful of blood, but he didn’t collapse. Instead, he mustered his spirit, and when he saw the Devil Incarnate approaching, he quickly cleaved a nearby window open with his sword, letting sunlight pour in.

The Devil Incarnate, fearing the sunlight, stopped its pursuit and snorted coldly. He wanted to try the same trick again, but when he turned around, he realized the person tied up in the corner had disappeared.

It was at this moment that Lu Bei took action. Taking advantage of Jian Shen distracting the Devil Incarnate, he rescued Jian Shen’s mentor and then ran with him toward the sunlight.

"Damn it!" The Devil Incarnate was furious, his palms gathering powerful Qi, preparing to launch a ranged attack.

Just then, a cry of alarm sounded; it turned out that Mo Yun was no match for Lin Xi and had been injured by her, falling to the ground unable to stand up.

The Devil Incarnate was angry: "Useless thing."

Now Lin Xi ran to Lu Bei’s side, cast a spell to open the Protective Barrier again and shouted, "Come on, attack if you dare."

The Devil Incarnate released two streams of Demonic Qi, one aimed at Lin Xi and the other at Jian Shen.

Lin Xi’s Protective Barrier held up well against the Demonic Qi, and at the same time, Lin Xi could calmly cast a Healing Spell, quickly healing the mentor’s injuries.

On the other hand, the badly injured Jian Shen could hardly withstand the Demonic Qi and was struggling terribly. His knees softened, and he was already half-kneeling on the ground with a pale face, his fighting spirit weakening, and his situation looking very grim.

Seeing the opportunity to kill Jian Shen, the Devil Incarnate wouldn’t miss out. He gathered power in his hands, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Jian Shen.

Just then, a clap of Heavenly Thunder sounded, shattering the roof tiles, and another bolt of lightning struck the Devil Incarnate.

The Devil Incarnate shuddered once again, cursing inwardly that this magic-casting Lin Xi was really difficult to deal with.

Taking this chance, Lin Xi quickly flew to Jian Shen’s side and used magic to help him recover from his injuries, but regrettably, Jian Shen’s injuries were too severe and required time.

Before long, the Devil Incarnate was able to move again. How could he allow his hard-struck opponent to stand up again? He was annoyed and prepared to stop Lin Xi.

A sharp Jian Qi came, piercing the Devil Incarnate from behind. It turned out that the mentor, with Lin Xi’s help, had regained his combat abilities and immediately engaged the Devil Incarnate to buy Lin Xi time.

"A defeated underling, even Jian Shen is no match for me, let alone you," the Devil Incarnate spat out and landed a heavy palm strike on the mentor, sending him flying back with blood spraying from his mouth.

Seeing the ferocious approach of the Devil Incarnate, Lin Xi had no choice but to split her focus, one hand maintaining the Protective Barrier and the other casting a spell, desperately holding on.

The Devil Incarnate had only struck three palms before breaking Lin Xi’s Protective Barrier, and at the same time, he was also somewhat out of breath. After such a prolonged battle, his injuries could regenerate, but his power had depleted considerably.

As the Devil Incarnate’s palm was about to finish Lin Xi, at this critical moment, Jian Shen suddenly opened his eyes, full of vigor, leapt up, and with a whirl of his sword, he chopped off the Devil Incarnate’s arm.

Although the Devil Incarnate’s arm could grow back, the problem was that it still hurt a lot, pain that made him grimace and gnash his teeth, with a surge of resentment in his eyes.

Lin Xi’s magic not only healed Jian Shen’s injuries but also restored Jian Shen’s power back to its peak. Jian Shen charged again and struck the Devil Incarnate’s head with a palm, causing the Devil Incarnate a splitting headache, feeling as if his head was about to burst.

It seemed that the Devil Incarnate was about to be defeated, but with a vampire-like constitution, no matter how severe his wounds were, they were of no consequence. "Useless, useless," he snarled hideously, "I am immortal and indestructible, ultimate victory will surely be mine."

Jian Shen wanted to fight to the death with the Devil Incarnate, but Lin Xi pulled him back and cautioned him with a look.

"I understand, let’s go!" Jian Shen pointed towards the great hall’s entrance, and his master and Lu Bei immediately got the hint, retreating towards the doorway.

"Thinking of leaving? It won’t be that easy." Mo Yun returned to the fray, but a burst of Jian Qi nearly cleaved her in two, deterring her from any rash actions.

The Devil Incarnate bellowed, "Don’t let them leave, stop them."

The Devil Cult’s followers at the entrance of the great hall complied, blocking the doorway, brandishing swords chaotically, and forcing the master and Lu Bei back into the great hall.

Just as the Devil Incarnate was about to take action, Jian Shen stood resolutely in front of him, swinging his sword, Jian Qi soaring into the sky, splitting the roof open with a very long crack.

Sunlight streamed through the crack, falling like a wall, preventing the Devil Incarnate from advancing, who could only glare at Jian Shen viciously.

"You can’t handle me, and I can’t handle you, but I admit defeat willingly. Let’s call it quits for today." After speaking, Jian Shen sheathed his sword and headed towards the great hall’s entrance with large strides.

Hearing Jian Shen personally admit defeat, the Devil Incarnate felt smug inside, but he also knew that it was not a good time to stop Jian Shen, and could only watch as Jian Shen swaggered away.

When the followers blocking the entrance saw Jian Shen approaching, they dared not obstruct him and stepped aside to let Jian Shen, Lin Xi, Lu Bei, and the master pass through, clearing a path for their departure.

The Devil Incarnate still felt some reluctance, "Go on, Jian Shen. Run as far as you can, just don’t let me catch up to you, or else next time you won’t be so lucky."

Jian Shen was unconcerned, "You can only move at night and hide in this sunless place during the day. What do you think your chances would be if I set this place ablaze now, or destroyed it with my sword?"

Hearing this, the Devil Incarnate’s heart sank, seeing Jian Shen full of vigor, he knew it could be done.

"Fine, I have no intention of being your enemy. I came today solely to save my master." Having said that, Jian Shen left with large strides, feigning a commanding presence, though it was all an act.

Seeing Jian Shen’s magnanimity, the Devil Incarnate didn’t wish to be outdone, so he let Jian Shen, Lin Xi, and the others leave.

Though Lin Xi’s magic allowed Jian Shen to recover and his power to return to its peak, there was a small problem: the power depleted rapidly, and Jian Shen’s power was now nowhere near enough to cause significant destruction. Otherwise, he would have taken action to demolish this great hall earlier, leaving no opportunity for the Devil Incarnate to counterattack.
