Facing several senior students who were a head taller than her and whose strength was generally at the second or even third level, Su Qianxue showed no fear whatsoever.

[I'll refrain from making a move for now and see how strong the Empress is.] Yi Chen thought to himself.

Her eyes were icy cold, and she exuded a chilling aura—the oppressive power of the Ice Phoenix Empress. Even with her current low strength, it was enough to instill fear in those with weak wills.

"court death!"

A burly boy with a buzz cut was the first to rush forward. He had a contract with a rock-type pangolin, whose body was covered with thick scales, giving it amazing defensive capabilities.

"Rock Spike!"

The boy shouted, and the pangolin next to him slammed its head into the ground.

"boom!"

The ground beneath Su Qianxue's feet cracked instantly, and several sharp earth spikes burst forth from the soil without warning, piercing towards her legs.

This move is both fast and ruthless; if you get stabbed, you'll definitely get two transparent holes.

Su Qianxue, however, seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. A second before the earth spikes appeared, she had already lightly touched the ground with her toes and floated back several meters, easily dodging the attack.

"You reacted pretty quickly!"

The boy with the buzz cut grinned maliciously and commanded the pangolin, which charged straight at Su Qianxue like a small tank.

At the same time, another tall, thin boy launched an attack. His contracted beast was a wind blade mantis, whose two forelimbs were like sharp scythes, drawing several blue wind blades in the air and blocking all of Su Qianxue's escape routes.

They attacked from both sides, coordinating perfectly.

Clearly, these people have a history of bullying others by outnumbering them.

"Chiyuki!"

Just at this critical moment, an anxious shout came from not far away.

A pretty girl in a blue tracksuit was running quickly toward them, accompanied by a chubby, ball-shaped blue slime.

"Stop! You're not allowed to bully Qianxue!"

The girl ran while directing her slime.

"Water Baby, attack with the water gun!"

The blue slime suddenly jumped up with a "Duang," spitting out a thin jet of water from its mouth towards the boy with the buzz cut.

However, the water jet was weak and lacked power. When it hit the buzz-cut guy, it felt like he was being sprayed with water, and his clothes weren't even soaked.

"Pfft!"

"Hahahaha! Where did this idiot come from? He dares to fight with a mere decorative slime?"

When Lin Feng and his group saw this, they burst into laughter.

The visitor was Xia Yubing, one of Su Qianxue's few friends. She was a girl with a somewhat soft and cute personality, but also very loyal.

"Yu Bing, don't come any closer! It's dangerous here!" Su Qianxue shouted hurriedly upon seeing this.

She didn't want to involve her friends.

"No! I can't stand by and watch you get bullied!" Xia Yubing shook her head stubbornly, stood in front of Su Qianxue, and spread her arms like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"With me here, you won't be able to hurt Qianxue!"

"Heh, another one coming to their death."

Lin Feng's eyes grew even colder.

"Since you're so eager to be a hero, then I'll grant your wish! Attack her too!"

The older students, having received their orders, wore even more cruel smiles.

The pangolin and the wind-blade mantis attacked the two girls without mercy.

Xia Yubing closed her eyes in fright, her body trembling, but she still didn't take a step back.

A cold glint flashed in Su Qianxue's eyes as she prepared to use her trump card.

But just then, a black lightning bolt that no one noticed moved.

Yi Chen had been lying on the ground since the start of the battle.

It's not that he doesn't want to make a move, but that he's waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity that could decide the fate of the world in one fell swoop.

Now, the opportunity has arrived.

His target was neither those tough-skinned contracted beasts nor those senior students' thugs.

Rather, the one who started all of this is Lin Feng!

To catch the thief, first catch the king!

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to Su Qianxue and Xia Yubing, Yi Chen made his move.

His body transformed into a blurry afterimage, flashing across the grass at an extreme speed, without even making a sound.

Lin Feng, arms crossed, was smugly enjoying the show that was about to unfold, completely unaware of the impending danger.

By the time he felt a deadly chill creeping up from behind, it was too late.

"Pfft!"

A soft sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

Lin Feng's body stiffened abruptly. He slowly lowered his head and saw an almost invisible black claw emerging from his chest.

Warm, bright red blood was still stained on its claws.

"Well……"

Lin Feng made a sound that was hard to understand. He wanted to turn around and see who was attacking him, but all his strength was rapidly draining away.

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

Yi Chen struck successfully, withdrew his illusory form, and yanked his claws out, spraying a spray of blood.

He used the momentum from Lin Feng's back to push off, his body performing a graceful somersault in the air, landing silently back in the same spot as if he had never left.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that almost no one could see it clearly.

"Bang."

Lin Feng's body fell straight backward, crashing to the ground with a dull thud.

His eyes were wide open, filled with terror and disbelief. He didn't know how he died until the very end.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present.

The senior students who were about to attack Su Qianxue stopped abruptly, staring blankly at Lin Feng lying in a pool of blood.

"Young Master Lin...?"

"What happened? Why did Young Master Lin collapse?"

"He...he has blood on his chest!"

A student who was nearby reached out with trembling hands to check Lin Feng's breath.

The next second, as if he had been electrocuted, he abruptly pulled his hand back, collapsed to the ground, and his face turned completely pale.

"Dead...dead! Young Master Lin is dead!"

His terrified scream, like a thunderclap, rang out in the quiet grove.

died? !

Everyone gasped, a chill running from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.

Su Qianxue was still somewhat hesitant, but since things had come to this point, she said, "He attacked first, and he brought so many people with him. I was acting in self-defense."

Xia Yubing nodded: "Yes, yes, I can testify."

They all turned their gazes to Su Qianxue, their eyes filled with fear.

In their eyes, the only person who could kill Lin Feng here, in front of so many of them, without anyone noticing, was Su Qianxue!

This woman is a devil!

Su Qianxue herself was stunned.

She was completely focused on dealing with the attack from the older students and didn't notice what was happening on Lin Feng's side.

Lin Feng felt as if a gentle breeze had brushed past him, and then he collapsed.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the little black cat, which merely licked its paws, which were free of blood.

Su Qianxue then realized that when the tabby cat launched its attack, it did not need to get close to the target; its attack was accompanied by a phantom image.
