In the distance.
Under the combined assault of two top experts, the once-arrogant Void Thing was instantly put at a disadvantage. It flapped its wings, trying to escape, only to be clung to by Li Gui like a maggot on a bone. His Fist Blade stabbed into its back, then yanked it hard, sending flecks of blue blood drifting down like snow.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two sharp sword lights slashed down, severing the Void Thing's fleshy wings while it was distracted. Atop a tree branch stood a strikingly beautiful female swordsman, her aura ice-cold and ethereal.
"Thanks."
"Hurry and finish this. I'm in a rush to get back."
Li Gui's thoughts were all on Lu Chenzhou's side.

Cixi Ancient Village.
Lu Chenzhou and the others weren't just standing idle either. Everyone had made a decent haul tonight and wanted to rack up as much Great Merit as possible before the action ended. Afterwards, the school would score and rank students' mission performance based on their merit points.
