Upgrade Specialist in Another World
Chapter 1201: An Obstacle

A wave of red light began to spread across the sky from the direction Lu Suxing was looking at. The red light was followed by a powerful but familiar aura Lu Suxing and Mo Ni were both acquainted with!

How could they possibly forget that aura! Lu Suxing had nearly died to this aura just two days ago!

The reason why he was shocked was because...he couldn’t understand how this person was here already!

Was Bai Yunfei chasing after him this entire time to kill him!?

The thought sent shivers up Lu Suxing’s spine.

“Bai Yunfei! He’s here already?!”

Mo Ni cried out in disbelief at the aura.

“Damn!!”

He cursed as he turned back to look at Mt. Crimson. The more he looked at the light above the mountain, the more he hesitated.

“Pah!” He sneered at last, “Who cares if he’s back! If he wants to be here so badly...we’ll kill him right in front of his home! Or maybe we’ll be kind enough to let him watch his school die in front of him!”

He turned back to Gui Nu and Feng Mo. “It doesn’t matter the reason why he’s back! He’s here now, and that’s all that matters! He must’ve brought someone from the Water School with him, but he’s still only an Early-stage Soul Emperor! Bai Yunfei, his soulbeast partner, and Xiao Binzi...they’re all Early-stage Soul Emperors...I doubt we won’t be able to kill them!”

“You want to fight them here?!” Lu Suxing exclaimed.

“It’ll be harder to fight them if they get back to the Crafting School!” Mo Ni retorted.

Lu Suxing looked hesitant. He looked like he wanted to argue with Mo Ni, but he relented in the end. “Fine! What is your plan then?”

“Feng Mo is already close to being out of control. We’ll let him go first to see how Bai Yunfei will react.” Mo Ni waved his hand at the violently-spasming figure behind him.

“Just him alone?”

“He doesn’t distinguish between friend or foe when he goes berserk. It’s safer to send him out by himself. He’ll probably be able to kill those with Bai Yunfei, if not Bai Yunfei himself. We can pop out when the opportunity is right to kill Bai Yunfei then!”

Lu Suxing narrowed his eyes. Mo Ni was planning to sacrifice Feng Mo to see how Bai Yunfei would react. Feng Mo wasn’t someone so useless that the school could cut their losses so easily. They spent plenty of time and energy ‘raising’ this person. To lose him here would be a great loss to the school.

But then again, Feng Mo was raised for the sole purpose of dealing with Bai Yunfei. Lu Suxing could relent to that.

“That Bai Yunfei has the Interdimensional Phantasm, don’t get yourself caught in it!”

Lu Suxing snarled. Just thinking about the Interdimensional Phantasm being used on him brought back painful memories.

“The Interdimensional Phantasm sends people back out after a minute. We can use Feng Mo as bait to have them use the Interdimensional Phantasm on it!”

......

On the other side, a streak of light was currently about ten kilometers away from Mo Ni and the others.

Inside this streak of light was Bai Yunfei, Xiao Binzi, and Li Chengfeng. They set out for the Crafting School a day later than Lu Suxing, but they were ultimately faster than him due to the Core Stone. It was a ‘coincidence’ that the two managed to arrive here at the same time.

They soon came to a stop just about five hundred meters away from Mo Ni.

“It’s you!! Mo Ni!”

Bai Yunfei roared when he saw who it was standing in the way between him and the Crafting School.

“That’s right, it’s me!” Mo Ni sneered. “So you’re alive after all those years. How unfortunate today will be your death day! Yours and the Crafting School!”

“Roar!!!”

Mo Ni had barely finished speaking when the loud roar of a beast erupted from the black-robed individual. As if the shackles had been undone from it, the soulbeast pounced toward Bai Yunfei with a malevolent aura!

“Watch out!”

Bai Yunfei warned the others at once, though his attention focused on the Crafting School and the skies above it.

“A Mid-stage Soul Emperor!” He spoke, “Xiao Qi and I will deal with it, you two watch the others!”

Xiao Qi appeared from the Core World to charge with Bai Yunfei toward the incoming person. There was a secondary flash of light as the Interdimensional Phantasm began to spread its energy outward through the area.

“Bai...Yun...Fei!!”

A guttural voice could be heard from this person. Bai Yunfei couldn’t recognize who it belonged to, but this voice definitely sounded like the owner held nothing but hatred for him!

“Whoosh!!”

Then a dark-green jet of light shot across the sky toward him!

Bai Yunfei narrowed his eyes and summoned the Cataclysmic Seal to him. It was better to block the attack than evade it.

“Boom!!”

The dark-green streak of light slammed into the orange barrier with alarming strength. Bai Yunfei could feel more soulforce than he expected to slip away from his body as the barrier trembled, but it managed to hold.

A smog of green light surrounded the area where the light struck his barrier. Before it faded away, a dark-green fist smashed through Bai Yunfei’s barrier and flew at his face!

Alarmed, Bai Yunfei brought both arms up to protect his face from the fist.

“Ban!!”

The fist slammed against the Flameblade Bracer with devastating force. Bai Yunfei could feel his bracer let out a mourning cry as a repugnant energy traveled from the enemy’s fist through his bracer and up his arm!

Snarling, Bai Yunfei shook both of his arms to neutralize the numbing sensation he felt. The blow caused him to fly backward, but leaped forward to deliver a gold-light infused attack with his left hand!

Strangely enough, the enemy didn’t seem to make any movements to dodge or block his attack. His punch slammed into the person’s chest and activated the +10 and +12 effects of the Critical Glove at once. Surely even a Mid-stage Soul Emperor wouldn’t be able to handle an attack whose force was multiplied several times over!

“Gong!!!”

Bai Yunfei felt his attack connect with the man’s chest and could feel it strike something metallic. The man was sent flying back, but his aura didn’t change at all! It was as if Bai Yunfei’s attack didn’t do anything to him!

As the man was flung backward, Bai Yunfei gave the man an even bigger look of surprise—it wasn’t because of his failure to inflict any damage, it was because he managed to catch a glimpse of the snarling face of the man...

“It’s you!!”
