408 Chapter 408 The Savior

Chapter 408 The Savior

Unfortunately, the top two rankers of the upper house were burned to death by the fire of the Death Spirit Dragon, turning into its puppets and becoming Zhao Kuan's enemies!

Looking at his two older brothers in arms, Zhao Kuan was saddened by their deaths.

What further gave him a blow was that he knew he couldn't defeat these two working together. He would likely end up like them, burned by the flames and turning into an undead warrior.

Zhao Kuan quickly dodged Lin Cang's spear and caught it with his arm.

It would have been difficult for him to dodge this in the past. After all, this person was ranked first on the combat power list, and although they were only two ranks apart, the difference in strength was vast.

But he could easily dodge it this time.

Lin Cang, who had turned into an undead warrior, only had half of his strength left. He was no longer a match for Zhao Kuan, who was ranked third.

Zhao Kuan caught the spear with his arm and threw a punch at Lin Cang; the air from his punch whistled as it flew along with his wind elemental skill.

Bang!

The fist smashed into Lin Cang's chest, and a dull sound rang out. Lin Cang's entire body was sent flying!

As soon as Zhao Kuan had a chance to catch his breath, Wei Jian rushed over and thrust his sword at Zhao Kuan.

Zhao Kuan didn't dare get careless at a time like this.

Although Wei Jian's strength had been greatly reduced, his weapon had not.

The sword was as sharp as it was before!

Zhao Kuan quickly dodged Wei Jian's attack and threw another punch.

Wei Jian withdrew his long sword and held it in front of his chest, blocking Zhao Kuan's fist.

Bang! Bang!

With another muffled sound, Zhao Kuan poured all his strength into his fist as it slammed against the sword, making it vibrate and Wei Jian's hands tremble.

Zhao Kuan was fighting two of them at the same time, and the other students were all getting nervous just looking at it.

If the undead warriors defeated Zhao Kuan, the students would also be killed.

Therefore, everyone prayed that Zhao Kuan could win.

"Brother Zhao Kuan, you have to defeat them! Otherwise, it's over for all of us!"

"However, when he's pitted against the two..."

"From the looks of it, they're evenly matched. There should be a chance!"

"Come on, let's clear out the undead warriors around us! It's not doing us any good if we just stand around and watch."

The group of students once again threw themselves into the battle, no longer being just onlookers.

On Lu Yu's side, he quickly killed the undead warriors around him. As he looked into the wall of fire, he saw only a few undead warriors left.

"You guys stay here; I'll go over there and take a look."

Lu Yu walked toward Zhao Kuan.

Xu Yuan walked over cautiously. "Let's not interfere in their business, shall we?"

"I don't think he's a match for the two. If he continues, he might die!"

Although Zhao Kuan seemed to be fighting evenly against the two undead warriors, he pushed himself to the limit with every passing second. It was indeed difficult for him to fight one against two.

If this continued, Lu Yu could foresee that Zhao Kuan would die without a doubt.

"Be careful. If anything happens, the first thing you have to do is to escape!"

Xu Yuan reminded Lu Yu.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, then turned around and headed toward Zhao Kuan.

At that moment, Zhao Kuan had just blocked yet another wave of attacks from the two as he retreated.

During the start of the battle, he could block and counterattack, but that was beginning to slow down. He had been dodging their attacks for the past few minutes, and this consumed a lot of his energy.

Swoosh!

A sword came slashing in an uppercut, and the blade of the sword trembled as it swished through the air next to Zhao Kuan.

Just as Zhao Kuan was about to punch Wei Jian, he heard a loud whistling sound!

Squelch!

A white spear pierced through Zhao Kuan's abdomen!

When he lowered his head, he discovered that Lin Cang's spear had impaled him in his lower abdomen!

Lin Cang was standing not far away with a posture that showed he was the one that had thrown the spear.

He raised his hand, and the spear was pulled back, flying into his hand.

After the spear was removed, Zhao Kuan's abdomen began to bleed profusely. He quickly covered his abdomen with both hands and endured the pain.

He bent over and began to stagger backward. He knew he couldn't win this battle now.

In fact, Zhao Kuan knew from the beginning that it would be difficult for him to defeat Wei Jian and Lin Cang simultaneously. If it was only one of them, it would be a different story...

But now, he could only admit defeat.

"It seems I'm going to die in you guys' hands today… " Zhao Kuan heaved a long sigh.

The people standing behind him, who had depended on his protection, were all frightened out of their wits.

"Brother Zhao Kuan is dying!"

"What… what should we do? If Zhao Kuan can't defeat them, we're no match for them either!"

"We're finished; it's over! We're going to die here today!"

"There's no way out for us. It's the end!"

"I don't want to die! I want to live!"

Everyone started to retreat slowly, distancing themselves from Wei Jian and Lin Cang.

But even if they wanted to escape, they had nowhere to run!

Walls of burning flames surrounded them, and their enemy, Duan Zhenglin, was still alive. It was also basically impossible to kill the giant dragon in the sky.

Under this situation, what waited for everyone was only death, as they simply couldn't find a breakthrough!

Zhao Kuan kept retreating as he was already at his limit. If he continued, he would just die a miserable death.

However, when he turned around, he didn't know who to ask for help. Behind him were all the students who relied on his protection, with none stronger than him.

Moreover, these students had been exhausted from the continuous battle. Even if they attacked together, they would only be able to buy him some time.

"Dammit! I'm going all out!"

Zhao Kuan gritted his teeth and yelled. If he were going to die, he would die with dignity. Running away like a coward wasn't his style!

He roared and charged at the two undead warriors.

At that moment, a figure flashed over and stood before him.

Lu Yu was the one who stood before Zhao Kuan, facing the enemy head-on.

Zhao Kuan was stunned and quickly recognized who Lu Yu was.

"You're... the newcomer's top student?"

Lu Yu left a deep impression on him. After all, Lu Yu had broken the upper house's newcomers' record as someone who proved to be strong and had great potential.

Lu Yu nodded. "That's right. Leave the two enemies to me."

Hearing his words, Zhao Kuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"You're Lu Yu, right? I'd advise you to give up. Although you're very talented, the gap between us is too huge!"

He continued anxiously, "You can't possibly be a match for the two of them. You aren't even up to my level, so how can you defeat them?" The upper house had already lost two top geniuses, and it would be a massive loss if they lost another one!

Lu Yu turned around and looked at him, saying confidently, "Believe me, I can defeat them."
