Chapter 295: Chapter 90: I, Lin Chen, Will Never Abandon Any Junior Brother

A few breaths later!

Whizz!

Lin Chen stood atop the hundred-zhang iron gate and shot an arrow.

The arrow fell, thirty zhang below the iron gate, a fish monster’s advancing form came to an abrupt halt and collapsed with a crash.

This distance was within his shooting range.

One arrow pierced through the fish monster’s head, Lin Chen’s expression unmoved, as he drew his bow and nocked another arrow.

These fish monsters were clearly not as formidable as the batch surrounding Lord Xu. From their speed and size, they couldn’t compare to the one that previously ambushed Senior Sister Jiang.

Yet in terms of numbers, they were extremely terrifying.

In a dozen breaths, Lin Chen had shot thirty arrows, yet he still couldn’t stop the fish monsters from approaching the iron gate. These fish monsters were fearless of death, unfazed by the death of their companions around them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The first wave of fish monsters had already reached under the iron gate and began to ram it with their bodies.

The impact noises instantly changed the expressions of the dozen or so teenagers inside the gate.

"Lin Chen, your arrows are not enough."

Jiang Qing glanced at the quiver behind Lin Chen, which was now half empty; more than fifty arrows were not sufficient.

"More demon beasts are coming."

On the battlefield not far away, as another surrounded figure was swallowed by the demon beast tide, yet another batch of demon beasts crazily rushed this way.

The fish monsters’ fins were like two feet, allowing them to move quickly on land, their speed not at all slow.

Lin Chen frowned, he too saw more and more fish monsters converging this way, Lord Xu and the others couldn’t hold on, and once Lord Xu and the others were swallowed by the fish monster horde, these fish monsters would gather towards the iron gate next.

"It’s Instructor Zhang!"

Jiang Qing suddenly spoke, and Lin Chen’s gaze followed her line of sight to see a figure dashing from the dense forest on the left side outside the iron gate, slicing through the oncoming fish monster group.

Seeing this, Lin Chen drew his bow again, an arrow whistling towards the fish monsters behind this figure.

"Let’s go, get down there to support Instructor Zhang."

Seeing that Instructor Zhang had already reached the bottom of the iron gate, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing descended the stone steps.

"Lin Chen, what’s the situation outside?"

"Senior Brother Lin, what was that commotion just now?"

Seeing Lin Chen and Jiang Qing come down, many teenagers below quickly asked, Lin Chen ignored them and directly opened the iron gate.

Covered in blood, Zhang Jiang appeared before everyone.

Seeing Zhang Jiang, the teenagers’ faces lit up with joy, exclaiming, "Instructor Zhang!"

In their eyes, the appearance of Instructor Zhang meant the beast crisis was over.

"Listen to me, there are too many demon beasts to kill them all, Lord Xu is holding them off to relay this message: now you have two choices. One is to stay inside the iron gate and wait for reinforcements, but looking at the situation, who knows when they will arrive? I can’t guarantee this iron gate can hold until they do."

Zhang Jiang took a deep breath, speaking rapidly: "The other option is to leave from the eastern side of the island. A Great Demon died in those waters, and its aura still lingers, keeping the fish monsters away. You can take a boat to escape, but it’s equally dangerous. Traveling from here to the left side of the island’s coast, you might encounter fish monsters. Make your choice!"

Hearing Zhang Jiang’s words, the teenagers were stunned.

Instructor Zhang meant they couldn’t hold on for long. Once they couldn’t, the fish monsters would come here, and who knows when the reinforcements would arrive, nor could the iron gate necessarily stop the fish monsters.

In other words, staying here likely led to a dead end.

"Instructor Zhang, can’t you accompany us to the island’s east side?"

One student asked, referring to escorting them.

"There are too many fish monsters. If I escort you, it would only attract more fish monsters to stop us. The fish monsters’ main target is us Grade-Entering Martial Artists. This is your only chance."

Zhang Jiang shook his head: "Lord Xu said you must make the decision yourself, but be quick, you don’t have much time to think."

Finishing, Zhang Jiang didn’t even step inside the iron gate, turning to slash dozens of fish monsters that had rushed to the gate’s front in half, glancing back at everyone with a smile on his face: "You all are the best students I’ve taught. As long as I have breath, the fish monsters won’t come near."

Leaving these words, Zhang Jiang turned, standing tall, charging forward, his figure quickly disappearing into the dense forest.

"Those who attempt to kill Liang’s future hope..."

"Shall be executed!"

The resounding voice echoed back from the forest, moving all present teenagers.

"Instructor Zhang."

One teenager’s voice choked with emotion, feeling the heroic tragedy in Instructor Zhang’s tone. Over the past three months, though Instructor Zhang constantly called them useless and put them through torments, at this moment, they only regretted that their Martial Arts Realm progressed too slowly to join forces with Instructor Zhang against the demons.

"Senior Sister Jiang, I will head to the island’s east side."

Lin Chen didn’t linger in sadness for long, quickly making his choice.

If staying behind the iron gate offered the greater chance of survival, Instructor Zhang wouldn’t have come specially to relay this message.

Heading east, while facing fish monster attacks, was better than staying put, only to be surrounded by fish monsters, making escape impossible.

"I’ll go with you."

Jiang Qing also nodded, choosing to head east.
