Chapter 259 Seven Bodies

As soon as he finished speaking, another powerful burst of talent spread out towards them, causing the pupils of the Wheel-Turning Demon Saint to shrink to the size of pinholes.

"Haha, Wheel-Turning Demon Saint, do you still remember me? During the Holy War, your opponent was none other than me."

A clear laugh rang out, followed by the sound of wind breaking, and then a figure appeared.

"Guanyin, the Half-Saint?"

Upon seeing this figure, Ye Ru was slightly taken aback. This old man was none other than Guan Yu, the half-saint from the Wei Kingdom.

"Hehe, Chief Ye, I didn't expect to meet you again."

Guanyu, the Half-Saint, appeared in front of Ye Ru, then turned his head, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected the other party to have grown so quickly.

"Brother Su, I never expected that we would be able to bring down this Wheel-Turning Demon Saint today. It is truly a blessing for our human race."

Then Guan Yu looked at the Wheel Demon Saint with a somewhat unfriendly and mocking gaze.

Locked onto by the talent of the two, even the Demon Saint of Reincarnation looked somewhat unpleasant. These two were already renowned half-saints. Long before he had even entered the level of Demon Saint, they had already reached the level of Grand Scholar and had even fought against him.

"Guanyu, don't be too arrogant. I am only one of the seven bodies now. If my true body were here, you two half-saints wouldn't be able to stop me."

The eyes of the Wheel Demon Saint flickered slightly. He knew that he could not kill Ye Ru this time. If he continued to resist here, he would probably attract the other teachers of Yingtian Academy.

"Furthermore, this Ye Ru was killed by all eighteen of us in a joint effort. The demon race also joined forces with us. Once our army is at the city gates, no matter how you try to protect him, he will surely die."

The Demon Saint of Reincarnation looked at Guan Yu and Su Wenmo again and said coldly.

"Hehe, if your true form came, along with a Demon Saint, we might be a little more wary. But isn't it a bit presumptuous of us to say this now? We humans have a saying: 'We will not attack unless we are attacked.' If you insist on coming, our National Holy Academy and the Academy of Saints are not easy targets!"

Su Wenmo smiled faintly, showing no fear whatsoever. The human race and the demon race have been locked in an irreconcilable conflict since ancient times, so why waste words here?

"I hope that in a few days you will still be so calm."

The Demon Saint of Reincarnation sneered, his hand clenched suddenly, and his body gradually became ethereal.

"Don't let him get away! Although this is one of the seven bodies, if these seven bodies are damaged, his main body will be seriously injured!"

Seeing that the Demon Saint of Reincarnation wanted to escape, Guan Yu turned to Su Wenmo and said, then his figure flashed, and he blasted towards the Demon Saint of Reincarnation with powerful holy power.

boom!

The Wheel-Turning Demon Saint clashed head-on with him, but a white shadow darted out from a distance and snatched the item from the Wheel-Turning Demon Saint's sleeve in one gulp.

"not good!"

The Wheel-Turning Demon Saint's pupils contracted, but he gritted his teeth, concealed himself, and disappeared from the scene.

"Don't pursue a desperate enemy; we've come here on important business."

Su Wenmo stared at the vanished Wheel Demon Saint and reached out to stop Guanyu, who was trying to chase after him.

"I almost forgot, we still have important business to attend to. Scholar Su, Reincarnation, are you alright?"

Guan Yu stopped, sensing that there was no trace of the Ghost Scholar or demons around him, before halting his attack and turning to ask.

"Thanks to the two demigods who saved our lives, we are fine. We can just have Mr. Bian treat us."

Scholar Su cupped his hands in greeting and said.

"Alright, it's good that you're alright. Let's go back to the academy first."

As Su Wenmo and Guan Yu left first, Xiao Bai also emerged from the shadows and disappeared into Ye Ru's sleeve.

"where did you go?"

Ye Ru said in a low voice.

"I brought you some good stuff. Come on, let's go back first."

Xiao Bai spoke with a smile, and Ye Ru nodded. He then left with Ye Ru, Su Tongyao, and the others.

After this matter was resolved, Ye Ru and the others headed towards Yingtian Academy. The fright had also made Su Tongyao fall ill. When Ye Ru returned to the academy, he did not immediately go to see Su Wenmo. Instead, he went back to the dormitory to take care of Su Tongyao.

"What good stuff did you bring?"

After helping Su Tongyao change the water in the basin, Ye Ru looked at Xiaobai on the bed and said.

"look."

Xiao Bai spat out a scroll with a single, tattered character written on it.

"seven?"

Ye Ru frowned, then suddenly realized, gasped, and said:

"You actually took this masterpiece, 'Seven Strikes,' from the body of the Wheel-Turning Demon Saint?"

"Do you remember the moment when Guanyu Half-Saint fought against the Wheel Demon Saint? It was right here. However, this 'Seven Strikes' is a fragment, and only the first part is recorded. If you can comprehend it, you might be able to create an avatar."

Xiao Bai shook his head, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"One is enough. No wonder we couldn't find you. So you were secretly planning something like this."

Thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, Ye Ru couldn't help but chuckle.

“You saved my life. As the Book of Songs says, ‘You give me a peach, I repay you with a precious jade.’ This was just a small favor. If I weren’t unable to cultivate, I might have secretly started cultivating this.”

Xiao Bai's serious expression made Ye Ru fall silent as well.

"You're not angry that I saved Tong Yao first?"

"Why blame me? I am a demon beast, while Tong Yao is a woman. I can run away, but she can't. Your actions have killed two birds with one stone."

These words gradually dispelled Ye Ru's initial sense of guilt.

"Alright, I'll look after things here. You should go find Su Wenmo and Guanyu first. These two semi-saints have come to invite you. You've probably become a legendary figure in the academy."

Xiao Bai patted Ye Ru's shoulder with an air of maturity and laughed.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Ye Ru nodded, pushed open the door, and walked towards the council hall.

At this moment, Su Wenmo, Grand Scholar Su, and others were all in the council hall, their faces showing some solemnity.

"Greetings, Half-Saint, Scholar Su, and Lord Zhan."

After a while, Ye Ru pushed open the door, bowed to everyone, and said.

"Chief Ye, this time, I have a favor to ask of you, and perhaps only you can do it."

Upon seeing Ye Ru arrive, Su Wenmo frowned and said...

"Please speak, Your Excellency, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Ye Ru nodded, his face serious.

"Do you still remember the time when the State of Jin massacred 100,000 of our soldiers, leaving 100,000 souls still missing?"

Su Wenmo raised his head and said with grief and indignation.

"Not only do I remember..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ru nodded, his fists clenched tightly, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes. He raised his head and said with unwavering resolve:

"I will never forget the humiliation and hatred inflicted upon me by the State of Jin!"
