Chapter 411 Nowhere To Run

Jiang Lengyue looked at the instructors engaged in an intense battle not far away and revealed a surprised expression. She hadn't expected Duan Zhenglin's life force to be this tenacious, staying alive even after all that!

"How is this guy still alive? I swear I killed him!"

"We're not sure," Zhao Kuan replied. "It's possible he used his talent to absorb the heat and survive."

Jiang Lengyue lowered her head slightly and said, "He is indeed not someone to be trifled with. Everything, including the nightmare today, was caused by him!"

Even though it was only a matter of time before the dragon broke through the seal, Duan Zhenglin's doings caught everyone off guard.

Otherwise, they would have done sufficient preparation for the dragon breaking out.

For example, they could first evacuate the students in the upper house before dealing with this problem.

That would not have caused as many casualties compared to their situation now.

She looked around and finally set her eyes on Lu Yu.

When she saw that Lu Yu was still standing around, she heaved a sigh of relief. She knew very well how important Lu Yu was, as he would definitely be able to reach the top of society in the future.

Zhao Kuan added regretfully, "Dean, Wei Jian and Lin Cang are dead..."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Lengyue's brows twitched as her insides clenched. The two boys were "one in a million geniuses," and the upper house lost them. Their future achievements would have been extraordinary if they hadn't died!

But they had died in this disaster, which was a massive loss for the Freedom Federation!

"Since things have come to this, there's no time to be sad about it. Your next mission is to ensure your survival and then find a chance to escape from this place."

Jiang Lengyue persuaded Zhao Kuan. From her perspective, there was basically only one outcome for the students to survive, and that was to escape.

"Director, do we… really have no chance at winning this battle?" Zhao Kuan asked.

He could tell from Jiang Lengyue's words that their only option was to run away.

However, he was not willing to accept this. So many precious buildings and lives had been destroyed, and he would be angry and regret his actions if he ran away now!

"We have no more chance of winning this. Our only option is to escape and let the military handle this."

"Research on ancient beasts and dragons is an ongoing topic for the military. I know very little about these creatures, so I can't do much about it."

After Jiang Lengyue explained her reasoning, the surrounding students all nodded their heads sadly.

They knew that the military had been studying ancient beasts all this time, and they never allowed any other organizations or forces to get involved. At most, the public could only review insignificant side-projects.

This was why they could not identify it initially, even after the Death Spirit Dragon appeared.

"It seems we can only wait for the military to save us. What shame, if only the two were still alive…"

Zhao Kuan sighed sadly, his heart full of regret.

At that moment, Jiang Lengyue had more or less recovered her mana. She stood up straight once again, preparing to return to the skies.

"Dean, since you can't damage the Death Spirit Dragon, why do you still need to go up there? Why don't you kill Duan Zhenglin first?" Zhao Kuan asked.

Jiang Lengyue glanced at Duan Zhenglin and shook her head, "I don't have a choice. The Death Spirit Dragon will be burning down this area soon if I don't keep it in check. By then, you students won't even have a place to stand."

"Alright, we'll keep in touch. I'll show you the way from above, so just follow the direction I point. Remember, avoid the fire, and escape. The more of you that can escape, the better!"

Hearing this, all the students became energetic once again.

"That's great! As long as we survive this, there's still hope!"

"Before we face more enemies, it's better to escape here quickly."

"We can finally escape from this hell. It sure wasn't easy."

"It's really not easy..."

"I'll just give it a try," Jiang Lengyue reminded them. "There's a high probability of no way out."

"The sea of fire up ahead is packed too densely, but I'll try my best to find a way out for you all."

Jiang Lengyue sighed and felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Her telekinetic power was strong, but it didn't matter when she was up against an enemy without a physical body. The Death Spirit Dragon made her feel useless and unable to do anything.

She had once saved a city from a tsunami, erected a huge sand wall before a flood, and prevented a volcano from erupting and destroying a town.

But now she couldn't do anything about the upper house, which she oversaw, or the university, which was being destroyed. In the past, she had always descended in front of everyone as a savior, yet it was difficult for her to even escape with her students today.

"Dean, we know that you've tried your best. If we fail to escape, it's our fate to die here. We won't have any complaints!"

Zhao Kuan replied with a serious face, and he was ready to die at that moment.

Behind him, some of the more mentally fragile students began to cry. The others had sorrowful expressions as they didn't know what to do.

"I'm going to return to the sky. Pay attention to my instructions."

As she spoke, Jiang Lengyue took out a pair of walkie-talkies from her storage ring and passed one to Zhao Kuan while keeping one for herself.

Her body floated into the air and continued rising upward.

However, Lu Yu ran over at that moment.

"Dean Jiang, I have something to tell you."

After seeing Lu Yu walk over, Jiang Lengyue hurriedly urged, "Follow Zhao Kuan and the team. Don't die here, as you have a bright future."

"Dean Jiang, that's not what I wanted to talk about. I have a significant discovery to tell you."

Jiang Lengyue frowned. "We don't have much time left as the Death Spirit Dragon will soon spew flames in this direction. When that happens, all of you will die here!"

This calamity was nothing to be concerned about for Jiang Lengyue. If she wanted to escape, she could do so at any time, but the others couldn't.

Lu Yu looked at her with a dead-serious expression and said, "My new discovery should be able to deal damage to the Death Spirit Dragon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lengyue's expression hardened. She hurriedly asked, "Are you sure? Don't lie to me!"

"I promise you that I'm not lying. It's absolutely true. Come down first, and I'll explain it to you."

Jiang Lengyue hesitated for a moment but still decided to land. Honestly, she wasn't confident that Zhao Kuan and the others would have a chance to escape this place.

She might as well listen to Lu Yu's plan, and perhaps they could take another path.
