Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 247: Fighting Unfairly

There was no time to think deeply. Seeing someone struggling against the bandits, he quickly drew his long sword, leaped forward, and dispatched two of them with one strike.

Upon realizing that the girl he saved was gazing at him with injured and frightened innocent eyes, and thanking him, Fang Zheng’s mind went blank for a moment.

Those eyes looked so similar.

Tong Xiaoyun saw the large knife attacking from behind and urgently shouted, "Careful."

Fang Zheng immediately snapped back to reality, reversed his sword, and struck down the would-be attacker.

Tong Xiaoyun quickly got up and joined the other girls in attacking.

Fang Zheng was also entangled with other opponents, but he still found time to glance at Tong Xiaoyun’s back as she moved away, seeing the resemblance even in her silhouette.

He still longed for that gentleness; once, that person also had those moist, delicate, and innocent eyes. Unfortunately, he knew not if she was safe and escaped, and thinking this, Fang Zheng despised himself for still pondering those who abandoned him.

Truly unmindful of the consequences, her gentle eyes had thought no longer of him; why did he needlessly bring upon himself such troubles?

Moreover, this girl, though similar, acted quite differently.

Yu Ling was soft and delicate, her innocent and sorrowful eyes enough to make you willing to face dangers for her without hesitation.

But the courageous and strong girl facing him dared to fight bandits with combat power far greater than hers, something Yu Ling couldn’t compare to.

He truly was in a daze; if not for the sudden change in battle, he might have still been lost in his grief, unable to extricate himself.

No, he could not continue to be so dejected; he hadn’t found his parents and younger siblings yet, how could he disregard his family for the sake of personal relationships?

Without news of him, surely his parents were worried sick; he must find them quickly.

Lu Jingtian improved greatly after days of recovery, although unable to use Inner Strength, dealing with ordinary bandit underlings was still feasible.

While Old Li and his son were strong, the two of them could restrain a bandit together.

With Cheng Xiaoxiao joining the squad, the situation instantly improved.

She didn’t even need to lift her eyes to quickly locate the bandit leader.

It’s known that to capture the bandits, you must first capture the leader; since Uncle Beiniu was struggling, she stepped in to lend him a hand.

The previously confident boss was suddenly struck on the arm by Cheng Xiaoxiao, with a clanking sound, his large knife flew out and hit the ground, and Cheng Beiniu seized the chance to attack, kicking at his knee.

He didn’t delay in action either, his sword about to slice across the neck, just as the bandit leader bent down avoiding the sword, a fierce killing intent followed closely behind, swiftly drawing the curved saber from his waist to ward off the attack from behind, but was punched in the chest by Cheng Beiniu.

With a loud bang, his strong body flew far away, heavily crashing into a rock.

He endured the severe pain, struggling to stand, spitting out a mouthful of blood, staring in shock at the petite woman aiding the fight, he hadn’t thought a slim little figure could injure him,

No other woman dared hurt him, this truly was an extraordinary disgrace.

With a sullen and angry gaze, the boss stared hard at the two, who wouldn’t give him a moment to breathe; one rushed forward, the other leapt into the air, closing in from above and below in an instant.

Such a bandit leader filled with Evil Qi, who knows how many people and merchants had suffered at his hands, his death was not to be regretted.

The usually reserved and introverted Hu Yixiu swiftly dealt with a bandit, then challengingly glanced in Cheng Sicheng’s direction, gesturing five, while Cheng Sicheng unswervingly gestured five as well.

The two secretly competed and were once again tied; unwilling to give up, they turned and fiercely attacked the remaining bandits, determined to decide a winner this time.

In the team, the stronger fighters like Cheng Dashan, Cheng Dawei, Cheng Jingo, and Qi Fei faced those skilled opponents, fight struggling fiercely.

As defeat loomed, suddenly a powerful young man charged in to help, his moves distinctly different from theirs.

Yet his combat power was significantly higher, quickly reversing the losing situation.

The boss seeing more and more of his brothers falling, regretted deeply; had he known this operation would be so devastating, he wouldn’t have acted rashly.

Yet, there was no regret medicine in the world; now he was unable to protect himself, let alone help his other brothers.

The fierceness in his eyes grew darker, despite his injuries, attacking Cheng Xiaoxiao with full force; no matter what, the opponent was a woman, certainly no match in strength for a man, so he sought Cheng Xiaoxiao as a breakthrough point.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xiaoxiao was not one to play fair; amidst their conflict, she had already smeared poison on her sword, so she did not engage in prolonged combat. While Uncle Beiniu fought, she launched sneak attacks, and when the boss pursued, she evaded.

Overall, extremely troublesome, she played not by conventional rules.

It was said she came to assist, why chase her down? Don’t mind that the poison acts faster this way?

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s actions enraged the boss, who cursed aloud, "You little wench, coward, coward, if you have the guts, face me head-on."

"Bah, I’m not stupid, why face you head-on? Who do you think you are? A national treasure panda?"

At that moment, the boss felt his vision blur, the opponent’s figure became double; realizing something was off, "Not good, you actually used poison, despicable little people."

Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed heartily, "You sneak attack old, weak women and children, why shouldn’t I use poison? You think with your measly appearance you can rob my 132th Regiment? Fail to inquire whose team this is, who gave you that courage?"

The members of the regiment hearing Cheng Xiaoxiao’s bold words couldn’t help but feel slightly warm-faced; their 132th regiment seemed known only to themselves, but how Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke! As if they were renowned, worthy of everyone’s fear.

The boss now truly regretted his actions, wanting to withdraw; yet Cheng Xiaoxiao wouldn’t let him escape.

As one must capture the leader to catch the bandits – leave the leader alive, perhaps for the New Year celebration?

Thus, she and Cheng Beiniu exchanged glances, promptly attacking from front and rear, offering no chance for escape.

Inspired by Cheng Xiaoxiao, Huang Zhongyi also felt regretful, wondering why he hadn’t thought of using poison earlier? It seemed he was simply too kind,

towards bandits who kill left and right, what was there to pity?

He thus took out poison, instructing nearby individuals without Martial Arts skills to scatter the powder, quickly causing a large number of bandits to collapse; the poison was truly effective, much faster than combat with real swords and spears.

Protected within, Cheng Jia and Hu Eryang led a few companions, received Grandpa Huang’s poison, weaving through various gaps within the battlefield.

Fifteen minutes later, the battlefield filled with the sounds of killing gradually calmed, the clashing of swords and blades diminished.

Beside Cheng Xiaoxiao, in the encirclement of the two, they finally dealt with the boss, one piercing through the heart from behind, the other sweeping the neck artery, making the boss as dead as could be.
