Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 941: Life and Death Flower Sea

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Warning, half-dead half-alive status. He has parasites in the body and is extremely dangerous!”

The red words appeared right before Sun Mo’s eyes.

“Stop fighting! Quickly escape!”

Sun Mo let out a bellow. He didn’t say any crap talk and turned to leave.

“Teacher Ji, I’ll help you!”

Bai Xiqing didn’t want to abandon her colleague, but at the next moment, Sun Mo grabbed her by the wrist.

“We won’t be able to win!”

Sun Mo didn’t give Bai Xiqing a chance to refute and dragged her away.

The best solution at the moment should be for Sun Mo to not say anything and turn to flee, leaving Ji Kun to fend off against Zou Qi’s group.. This would give them time to escape. However, Sun Mo couldn’t be so cold-blooded.

After all, these were human lives.

“What’s happening? Aren’t you very good at fighting?

Bai Xiqing looked very anxious.

“They are just cannon fodder.”

Sun Mo jumped amidst the forest, quickly thinking up a plan to break free.

He had seen Zou Qi before. Although the other party’s attitude wasn’t good, he had brains and wouldn’t fight and kill just like this. Now that Zou Qi had come up and fought intensely off the bat, in addition to the parasite in his body, it showed that he was being controlled by someone.

Sun Mo would be able to kill Zou Qi if he fought it out to the bitter end. But what would he do with the mastermind behind this?

Turning a 5-stars great teacher into a puppet was much more difficult than killing them. Hence, Sun Mo would definitely not be able to win against the mastermind.

Not wanting to let the target escape, Zou Qi forcibly received an attack from Ji Kun in order to break away from him.

Ssss!

The longsword pierced into Zou Qi’s chest.

“Die!”

Ji Kun broke into a smile of having taken revenge. However, at the next moment, Zou Qi’s palm came slapping over. It looked like he wasn’t affected at all.

Bang!

Ji Kun put up a block anxiously but didn’t succeed. As a result, he had several ribs broken and spurted out blood, stumbling back.

“What?”

Ji Kun was very surprised. He didn’t die despite this?

...

“Sun Mo, how are things there?”

Murong Mingyue hadn’t left and was waiting for Sun Mo.

“You guys leave first. Zou Qi’s target should be me,” Sun Mo instructed.

“I’ll help you.”

Murong Mingyue’s expression was calm. This was how she was. No matter if the opponent was strong or weak, she’d always remain so calm and composed.

“No need. Go protect Ziqi and the others. I’ll take care of these people.”

Sun Mo persuaded, “Don’t worry, I’ll catch up very soon. Teacher Bai, you leave with them too.”

Murong Mingyue wanted to say more but was pushed by Sun Mo.

“Hurry up and go!”

Sun Mo bellowed. He saw that Zou Qi had almost caught up to him while five minutes hadn’t even passed. This showed that the Virtuous Academy’s teachers and students had been wiped out.

This was really brutal!

Sun Mo turned his gaze to the dense forest further forward, toward the right. He should be able to make use of the Crown Bees.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Zou Qi’s group rushed over. There were several students as well and their expressions were very stiff.

“Teacher Zou, I hope that you’re well since we last met!”

Sun Mo had wanted to chat a little to drag out some time, but Zou Qi was unmoved.

“Kill him!”

Zou Qi gave the order and pursued Sun Mo at lightning speed.

Sun Mo tapped his foot to the ground and dashed toward those beehives. In the blink of an eye, he had entered the bees’ territory.

Buzz!

The bees were alerted and they were like mobilized bombers, gushing over like a big stretch of golden tide waves.

Sun Mo immediately performed the Wind King Divine Steps. At the same time, he activated the Invulnerable Golden Body and Indestructible Golden Body. Golden light circled around him.

The male bees that were the size of one’s fists came charging over. Some of them knocked into Sun Mo, releasing buzzing sounds.

Sun Mo moved around in the forest while a large spread of golden ‘tidal wave’ chased behind him, looking like the big mouth of an ancient beast that wanted to engulf him.

Zou Qi and the other great teachers were fine for now, but the same couldn’t be said for the students. They were surrounded by the bees and stung incessantly.

Very soon, they became very swollen.

As Sun Mo got increasingly closer to the queen bee’s nest, the bees started to become anxious. Even the worker bees gave up on harvesting honey and joined to surround Sun Mo.

Bozi Academy’s students couldn’t advance anymore. All of them had many bees crawling on their bodies and they looked like big oval-shaped balls.

Suddenly.

Bang!

A ‘big ball’ fell to the ground. Then, all the bees flew up, revealing a swollen corpse. Not only was its skin green, but it was also filled with sting marks.

The students fell down dead in succession.

Although these students were controlled by an enemy and wouldn’t be able to escape death, Sun Mo still couldn’t bear to see them die such a horrible death.

“Sun Mo!”

Zou Qi bellowed, feeling so anxious that he spurted out blood as he couldn’t catch up to him.

“Do you know that you have a gu-bug in your body?”

Sun Mo questioned.

Zou Qi was unmoved. He only wanted to kill Sun Mo. However, his speed was getting increasingly slow and his expression changed as well, turning from cold and stiff to that of pain.

“Hmmm? What’s going on? Is Zou Qi regaining control over his body?”

Sun Mo felt that Zou Qi had been stung enough and his battle prowess should have been reduced tremendously. He felt that at this stage, he should be able to handle Zou Qi and thus planned on leaving this dangerous place.

But at the sight of this, he stayed behind. At the same time, he also observed the other great teachers in detail.

As expected, after being stung by a large number of bees, they showed more expression changes on their faces than earlier. Moreover, other than Zou Qi, the others stopped chasing after him and were thinking of escaping from this place.

Did this mean that the gu-bug’s control over the body was decreasing?

As Sun Mo thought this, he started to make a move too.

Over ten minutes later, Sun Mo had finally escaped from the Crown Bees’ territory, breaking free from the hunt. He didn’t stop but continued to leap and dash in the forest.

This couldn’t go on forever. He must kill them.

These people had gu-bugs in their bodies and the mastermind would definitely be able to ascertain his position through sensing the gu-bugs. Therefore, the faster he killed these people, the better.

At the thought of this, Sun Mo suddenly stopped in his footsteps. He took out a Sky Origin Pill, tossed it in his mouth, and chewed a couple of times before swallowing it.

Boom!

A powerful spirit qi was produced in his body, quickly filling up his veins.

This was what Mei Ziyu had given Sun Mo. Its effect was to replenish one’s spirit qi.

Zou Qi’s group was left with three people. After they caught up to Sun Mo, they attacked him as ferociously as they could without any crap talk.

Swoosh!

Sun Mo performed the Wind King Divine Steps, avoiding Zou Qi who was at the very front. He then appeared in front of the great teacher behind Zou Qi.

This great teacher swung his sword and slashed ferociously.

Ssss!

Sun Mo’s head was chopped off directly.

The three of them were slightly stunned. Wasn’t this too easy?

While the enemies were in a daze, six Grand Universe Formless Clones surrounded and attacked the last great teacher.

His cultivation level was higher than Sun Mo, but being controlled by the enemy and having been stung by bees, his battle prowess had been greatly reduced. Sun Mo then slashed his blade out to crush this teacher’s head.

Instant kill!

There was a chance!

The great teacher who had killed Sun Mo’s clone was distracted by his companion’s death. The Holy Pharaoh’s mental attack lashed out and it spread out its wings.

The bug swarm attacked.

Hu!

A large group of bugs flew out from under its wings, covering the entire place and encompassing the great teacher’s head. Not only did the bugs’ sharp mouths pierced through his skin, sucking his blood and body fluid, but some of them even darted in from his mouth, nose, and eyes.

Ah!

The great teacher cried out agonizingly, his hands kept on scratching his face, wanting to get rid of these bugs.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sun Mo and Zou Qi exchanged blows.

“Kill... kill me!”

Zou Qi’s attacks were fierce, but the words he said with his mouth were incompatible with his actions.

“Find a way to control your body. I’ll help to treat you.”

Sun Mo had no idea if the ancient massaging technique would be of any use.

“Don’t... waste... time, kill... me, hurry, escape!”

If Zou Qi could commit suicide, he would have done that long ago.

At this moment, Zou Qi’s upright spirit could match up to his 5-stars great teacher title.

Suddenly.

Zou Qi’s body turned stiff.

Sun Mo knew that this was Zou Qi using all of his will to be able to control his own body temporarily.

Sun Mo didn’t want to kill, but he knew that if he didn’t do that, the gu-bug would then control Zou Qi to fight to death.

At that time, he’d have to pay an even greater price in order to win.

“I’m sorry!”

Sun Mo attacked with his blade.

Pffft!

Zou Qi’s heart was pierced.

“Live... live on...!”

Zou Qi didn’t manage to finish his last words before he died.

“Teacher Zou, I’ll avenge you guys.”

Sun Mo pursed his lips and placed Zou Qi’s corpse on a tree trunk that was over ten meters above the ground. If he had the chance to do so, he’d return Zou Qi’s corpse to his family.

After doing all of this, Sun Mo went to look for Mei Ziyu.

...

Li Ziqi and the other female students kept on turning back.

“Will Teacher be alright?”

Lu Zhiruo was only naive and not foolish. Having been together with her teacher for so long, she had only seen him so nervous on two to three occasions.

This showed that they had encountered a big problem.

“Don’t worry, all we can do now is to run. The further the better.”

Jiang Leng tried to ease them from their anxiety. “If we were to stay behind, we’d just be adding to the trouble.”

“Teacher has too little trust in us.”

Ying Baiwu pouted.

She wasn’t afraid of death. She’d be willing even if she were to be Sun Mo’s cannon fodder.

“You guys run really slow.”

Sun Mo’s voice suddenly rang out from the front. He came down from the sky, landing on top of a tree trunk.

“Teacher?”

The papaya girl immediately darted out and pounced into Sun Mo’s arms. “Boohoohoo, I was really worried about you!”

“Teacher!”

The other students also showed a relieved expression.

“Teacher Ji and the others...”

Since Sun Mo came back alone, this meant that the others had died. She felt both upset and reproachful. Her tears were flowing out uncontrollably.

“There’s no need to be reproachful. If you stayed behind, you’d just be adding on a corpse.”

Sun Mo consoled and then urged everyone, “Hurry up and go.”

“How’s the situation?”

Mei Ziyu was concerned. “Who is the enemy?”

“It should be the Dark Dawn. They are extremely strong.”

Sun Mo had come back on Little Silver. It was a pity that the eight-gate cloud couldn’t carry too many people with it in one go. Otherwise, they’d have escaped long ago.

Everyone started fleeing again. However, with Sun Mo’s return, everyone felt a little more settled.

Two hours later.

“Teacher, we should have managed to escape, right?”

Xianyu Wei felt that the enemy shouldn’t be able to catch up to them anymore.

“I’m just afraid that the other party’s target is me. Everyone, let’s work a little harder and hang on until night time before we rest.”

Sun Mo took the lead all the while. With that, if they were to encounter danger, he’d be able to react at the first instant.

Everyone jumped around while stepping on the tree trunks in the forest. Suddenly, Sun Mo’s vision cleared up and the primitive forest disappeared.

Brilliant sunlight shone down and everything they saw was in a golden color.

“What the hell?”

Sun Mo covered his eyes with one hand. He then saw that the primitive forest had ended. What appeared in front of them was a large sea of golden-colored flowers.

“These are chrysanthemums, right?”

Lu Zhiruo gasped in surprise. This view was really too beautiful.

“En!”

Sun Mo looked up. There was really a feeling as if an entire city was filled with golden armor. But why would there suddenly be such a place in a primitive forest?

The ecosystem didn’t seem to fit, right?

“What should we do?”

Mei Ziyu frowned. “I feel that this place is very eerie.”

“The two of you are grandmaster botanists, right?”

Li Ruolan’s meaning was very clear. (Even though there’s danger, you guys should have the ability to take care of it.)

“What danger can chrysanthemum flowers pose?”

Bai Xiqing sighed. “Moreover, we don’t have any choice.”

This flower sea was extremely wide. When one looked down from a height, they’d be able to discover the border between the flower sea and forest, forming a distinct straight line.

Unless they were to turn back or move northward, they’d have to enter this chrysanthemum flower sea.

“Let’s go!”

Sun Mo chose to proceed forward.

The flower sea was vast and endless. When one stood in it, there was a faint and graceful scent reaching to the nose, making one intoxicated. It didn’t take long for the scent to get onto their clothes.

“Look, there are butterflies!”

Lu Zhiruo shouted happily.

The butterflies were too beautiful, looking like they were wearing the most extravagant princess dresses and dancing under the sunlight.

“They are just ordinary butterflies. What are you shouting for?”

Li Ziqi was speechless.

“Ordinary?”

Sun Mo frowned. He looked at Li Ziqi, then at those butterflies, and asked, “Ziqi, what butterflies are they?”

“Swallowtail butterflies!”

Li Ziqi found it strange. Such butterflies had their names because their hindwings were especially beautiful like birds.

“Sun Mo, what’s the matter?”

Li Ruolan was perplexed.

“I don’t see any swallowtail butterflies.”

Sun Mo frowned. He looked around and asked the others.

However, most people didn’t understand the types of butterflies and couldn’t name them. No matter what they looked like, they were just butterflies. Therefore, the others didn’t notice any differences.

But in Sun Mo and Li Ziqi’s perspectives, it was a big threat.

“Go catch a few butterflies!”

Sun Mo instructed.

The students scattered out in all directions and returned five minutes later, each of them having caught a few butterflies.

Sun Mo told everyone to differentiate them and realized that for the same butterfly, everyone could describe it in multiple different ways.

Now, even a fool knew that something was amiss.

“Is it an illusionary realm?”

Mei Ziyu felt worried.

“Let’s back out first!”

Bai Xiqing suggested, “Thankfully we haven’t gone too far!”

“En!”

It was better to be wary when facing unknown danger. However, after 20 minutes, Sun Mo had no choice but to stop.

“What’s the matter?”

Lu Zhiruo was perplexed.

“We have only been in the flower sea for 20 minutes. On our way back, we ran faster, yet we still can’t see the forest now.”

Li Ziqi explained.

“Huh?”

Lu Zhiruo covered her mouth and gasped.

“Then what should we do?”

Xianyu Wei was a little panicky. But after asking that, she noticed that her senior martial brothers and sisters were all very composed. This made her shut up subconsciously.

Li Ruolan also noticed it. Sun Mo’s personal disciples were too calm. Should she say that they were too accepting of things or that they were dauntless?

“Rest on the spot!”

Sun Mo instructed and then plucked a chrysanthemum. He first observed it for a while, plucked off the leaves, then stuffed it in his mouth.

Since it was impossible to distinguish the plant from its appearance, the only option was to try it.

“Be careful, it might be poisonous.”

Mei Ziyu was given a fright.

“It’s fine!”

Sun Mo’s ancient massaging technique could expel poison in his blood. It’d be fine as long as it wasn’t a lethal poison.
