Chapter 3863: Encountering a Robbery

"Damn it!" Qi Xuanxuan and the others immediately erupted in anger.

They had been on edge for days, and just when they finally reunited with Qiao Mu—and barely had a chance to say two words—another problem popped up!

These low-level archers, who knows how long they had been hiding in those trees, now seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Some of the arrows were fiercely aimed at the unarmed, ordinary students.

Cries of agony immediately erupted from the crowd. Some students were hit by arrowheads in their hands and feet, others in their buttocks...

One particularly unfortunate person was grazed on the forehead by an arrow, disfiguring them, and blood spurted out with a "piu," frightening nearby companions into screaming.

Qi Xuanxuan raised her purple-glowing sword, imbued with lightning power, which then exploded a thick clump of trees, dragging a sneaky figure down from a tree.

The person fell heavily to the ground, and before they could get up, Little Fatty, seizing the opportunity, stomped heavily on their chest.

"Heh." Qi Xuanxuan sneered. "Who's this, hiding and sneaking around, even wearing a black mask!"

A gust of wind brushed across the person's face, tearing off their black face mask.

A student on the scene shrieked, "Ah, it's you!"

The other students also seemed to recognize the person's identity, all widening their eyes and pointing at him, shouting, "We saw you in the small base!"

At the same time, over a dozen figures leaped down from the treetops, immediately pouncing on the Royal Academy students without a word.

One of them, holding a large saber, brandished it at Cao Qi's neck, shouting, "You fool, hand over your rubies!"

Cao Qi, scared, scrambled behind Duanmu Qing, pulling on Duanmu Qing's sleeve and urgently calling out, "Duanmu, Duanmu, quick, quick, he's coming!"

"Bang!" The saber-wielding fellow was kicked back by Duanmu Qing's raised leg, stumbling backward.

He performed a backward somersault, tumbling a few times, then slammed his hand on the ground, barely managing to steady himself.

When he looked up, he felt a strong gust of wind hit his face, "Boom," impacting his face.

His entire face nearly caved in, didn't it?

There was a nerve-wracking pain that made the guy let out a desperate "oww," forgetting all about his image, mainly because it hurt so much.

At that instant, he felt as if his facial features had been flattened.

Qiao Mu coldly surveyed her surroundings. With a slight movement of her fingers, countless vines wrapped around and dragged several suddenly appearing attackers.

The attackers who suddenly appeared seemed to be two different groups.

One group were fellow Royal Academy idiots, aiming to rob rubies.

The other group consisted of guys recognized by some students, who usually idled around the small base, making a living by robbing adventurers and plundering their wealth.

The group of robbing idiots from the academy only had two cultivators; the others hadn't recovered their cultivation, making them extremely easy to deal with, capable of being disarmed and forced to squat on the ground in minutes.

The troublesome ones were the seven or eight cultivators from the small base.

They seemed like a disorganized mob, but upon engaging in combat, it became clear that they had very rich combat experience.

Although their cultivation levels were far inferior to Duanmu Qing and his group, in actual combat, they managed to put Duanmu at a slight disadvantage twice.

Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes, her gaze coldly fixed on a strong, imposing man among them.
