Wrecked Camp-

.

The majority of the students were on the ground beaten down. All taken out by a single opponent. Not even the teachers were able to resist. Chan-Yeol had done it all on his lonesome. By the looks of it though, he would not last long himself from various wounds. Tang Bo and Xiao Mei were keeping him at bay for the time being.

Tang Xui and her various members were by the students after stopping a strange undead beast from killing them. By the looks of it, she was not doing too well either in terms of recovery. But not because of anything besides Qi exhaustion.

The trio Saiori, Charlotte, and Long Fei were back to back in a triangle formation keeping themselves from dying. They gave Leroy a head nod as they stuck to keep themselves alive just as he said.

"Well damn." Leroy muttered it went this bad. Jasmine went to help Victoria who took a bad blow to the gut. Leroy couldn't help the smile on his face from that. It would have only been better if he did it himself. "Seriously, taking that guy out is more important!" He said to Jasmine. It fell on deaf ears of course.

"Sorry.. he took something that increased his strength too much during the fight." Tang Bo said to Leroy who approached him to bolster the assault. He was disappointed in himself but nothing could be done about it. Even angrier than Xiao Mei was almost critically hurt. "At least we can take him out with your help."

'At least the students aren't tied up or used as hostages. Even the few Nobles aren't getting mistreated or anything.' Leroy looked them over but they were in no real condition to fight really. They looked sick but at least they would live. 'If they all die.. well I will have some resources. But if they live.. they will owe me big. Also, fix my reputation in the meantime a little from being an asshole.'

Not that he would stop that of course.

"Leroy, no matter how strong you are, you still can't save them all!" Chan-Yeol said a little crazily. His eyes were bloodshot and his muscles tensed. Scorch marks all over his face from the chest confirmed something. He was the one that caught the flame sword earlier. Much to Leroy's dismay the man managed to live. "I need to pay back for what you did to my face and body!"

Removing the cloak revealed severe intense burns. Some bone was actually visible and cracked. The eye socket was barely held in place for the bulged-out eyeball. The skin charred and had slightly melted material on it upon closer inspection.

"Damn.. what it do.. Double-Face!" Leroy could barely keep from laughing as he covered his mouth. "I am game for a fight." He turned to Tang Bo. "Keep the north princess and the others safe."

"Understood!" Tang Bo was happy about the break.

"I am at the Peak of Qi Refining and foot into Foundation Establishment! You think you can beat me or my years of experience, what a joke!" Chan-Yeol charged at Leroy wildly. His Beast Qi Martial Artist transformation looked twisted in a way that reminded him of the Undead Summons. The patches of fur on his arms looked mangy at first as they spread all over the body. "Taking out the student of the vice-principal will help pave the way for our cause!"

*Pat!* The strike was deflected by Leroy knocking it away instead of a head on confrontation of strength. A little fire and electricity on his palm to help keep a possible infection from setting in. Leroy stepped in with a stomp and channeled his qi into his fingertips once more. Traces of the Flame Vortex Qi being the dominant amount this time.

'That feeling again!' Chan-Yeol felt a burning sensation as Leroy's flame-tipped fingers came close to his chest. He retreated immediately dodging the attack that caused a slight nick to the outer clothing. Well mostly. "Shit!" Pieces of the flame passed over his skin. His clothing burned off for the most part.

"Don't run from me!" Leroy dashed forward like a boxer. His arms were tucked in before he exploded with power. Core Qi infused jabs went out striking Chan-Yeol in the chest with brutal force. He kept pursuing not caring about any outside attacks. 'How much of my Qi can I inject into his body I wonder to cause fire or inhalation damage?'

The two slashed and clawed at each other in a furry. Chan-Yeol wanting to finish before the backlash of the pill takes him and Leroy not wanting to die as this opponent outclassed him in Cultivation rank. and gain a foothold as a Foundation Realm Cultivator.

The two continued to fight leading away from the others. Explosions of fire and the sound of breaking trees echoing everywhere.

Foolish choice-

.

After exchanging some attacks, Pin Feng pleaded with Chu Xue to fall back. The fact he declined surprised the young Assassin member. Especially since he took the Cultivation Resources and Techniques he gave him before.

Never crossed his mind the other was an opportunist or that he was planning on trying to convince the other when this was all over. Thinking the teachers or someone would have stopped this already from getting worse.

"Chue Xue.. why do this?" Pin Feng sounded sympathetic but a few felt something was wrong with him. "To sacrifice your life for a woman that you've only known for a few days, is the princess worth it?"

"Worth it or not, who knows.." Chu Xue was holding his side trying to control his breathing more. His focus on his Life Qi was a little difficult from Antilife Qi after fighting a few bouts with the other. "It's not just her I am doing this for. I am doing this for you to!"

"Chu Xue, if you continue to get in my way, I will.. I will have to kill you!" Pin Feng said with regret laced in his voice. A normal person would understand this person was not a friend really. But not Chu Xue. "Our beliefs.."

"Pin Feng, I won't let you take Princess Jasmine away!" Chu Xue said with a burst of strength exuding from his body. His Main Character status in full effect it seems.

Leroy was on his way back after leaving a mark on Chan-Yeol's face and taking an arm cleanly off with surgical precision. He was not about to chase him into an ambush that was most likely waiting after the bastard started to lead him further away from the others.

He made it back in time to see some major problems.

Pin Feng reared back summoning a spear made of Undead Qi and bones of the Nobles he killed. Throwing it directly at Chu Xue with the intent to kill. If not for the intervention of someone, he might have died on the spot.

*Splurt!* Black blood gushed out in front of Chu Xue as Victoria had pushed him down out of the way and taking the attack in the process. She looked back giving him a forced smile.

If only she knew the attack would not have killed Chu Xue and at most knocked him out cold and deprived him of Qi for awhile. Since Chu Xue cultivated the techniques from the other and had his Qi developing more in the way of Antilife Qi, the Undead Qi couldn't hurt him much.

The bones of course did!

"It is the least I could do... for you junior brother.." Victoria muttered as she started to collapse. "all your help during this time..."

"Ahhh! Senior Sister Victoria!" Chu Xue cried in horror after he was done freezing up.

Pin Feng looked on coldly at the situation. The girl was not meant to die at this time and would cause problems for the Assignation Group. A small formed after he heard Chu Xue shout out.

"You are going to be ok! I can heal you!"

"Victoria!" Jasmine cried out. She was about to run to her side but was stopped by Leroy. He shook his slowly at her saying no. "I have to help her, she is my closes friend!"

"She took the attack.. I am sure she was aware of the consequences." Leroy would fight her if he had to. Which he really hoped he didn't. "You need to conserve your strength in case more of the rebels appear. Not to mention the Assassination group."

"She's not dead yet, Chu Xue protect her Qi flow to stop the worst of it." Pin Feng bit his lip as he advised. "As for the blood flow..."

"Internal bleeding is pretty bad." Leroy said off handley. "Might have nicked a few arteries. Definitely gonna die a painful death." As Chu Xue worked away on her, Pin Feng made to move against Leroy but stopped when he started to speak. "Man, I can not believe you hurt your boyfriends' girlfriend like that, really bad form. That's a thrupple situation for yah, someone always gets hurt."

"You!" Pin Feng stared at Leroy in anger. A few of the plans were thwarted by him. Not to mention what happened to Chan-Yeol who was missing. Too many of their targets were alive still from the noble families. "Shut your mouth, Leroy, you are just another lackey of the Nobles!"

"Victoria better be ok Pin Feng!" Jasmine yelled as her cultivation pushed itself. "Your family is a vassal under her, how could you do something so stupid like this!?"

"I didn't want to harm Lady Victoria, but I must take you with me today." Pin Feng lunged towards her, determined to carry out his plans. "It's impossible for me to turn back on this path! Otherwise, more of our people will continue to die!"

"People are going to die because of you rebels.. and assassins you idgit. So I guess it's ok as long as it is not your people like you said get screwed over form this out the gate." Leroy prodded in jest as he looked for an opening. "Man, that logic is nice. Very self-serving." He continued to nod his head as he agreed with himself. "I like it, I like it."

Pin Feng was about to rebuke Leroy but Chu Xue's qi flared up as he stood moving away from the down girl. In his hand, a weapon appeared somewhat out of control. It looked to mostly be made from Ice and Antilife Qi really.

Looking down at Victoria left him conflicted about what to do for a brief moment.

"Take this!" Pin Feng threw something from his pocket. "It is a Life Ressurection Pill. Placing it in the mouth will help a person stave off death.. and even revive if they do die."

"Just gonna take something from your enemy and hope it works, what are you nuts?" Leroy stroked the flames as some of the students had recovered a little more. Just a little more and they would be ready to attack hopefully. "Slippery little worm!"

*Fwoosh!* Two strikes of flames claws shot toward Pin Feng who kicked down onto the ground summoning a baleful water. The water rebuffed and dispersed to the ground killing some grass.

If they all attacked they could take care of Pin Feng and Chan-Yeol if he returned. Which speaking of that specific traitor...

*Tap!* Chan-Yeol arrived bleeding a good bit. Leroy gave him a smile happy to continue where they left off at. Tang Bo and the rest of the Clear Tang Family nodded grimly as they launched toward Pin Feng to deal with him.

"Pin Feng, the men of the North Kingdom will be here any second!" Chan-Yeol kept his eyes on Leroy as they exchanged blows once more. "We need to leave now or we won't be able to leave at all!

"Tch!" Leroy shot after him with several fire darts thrown towards Chan-Yeol that exploded causing dust to get in the man's eyes. 'I need to take down this fool and Pin Feng to get rid of the threat of that Undead Qi! Especially since it still has traces of water within and he is not a mutated type yet!'

If not for the way the Qi clashed against his own, he would have known off the bat like that.

"Let's go then." Pin Feng lashed out with a wave of Undead Qi before he turned to leave. But he just wasn't fast enough. Tang Xui jumped in his way as Tang Bo jumped in front of him to the side. "Thanks for coming directly to me!"

"You dare stand in our way still?!" Chan-Yeol face twisted in a scowl. "You will pay for my arm!"

"Of course I do. I am just like that." Leroy taunted. He wagged his finger at the two that glowed with qi. The North Kingdom men started to appear and started to confront Pin Feng and Chan-Yeol as well. "Well, not getting caught in the direct crossfire."
