Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 359 - 351: The Consequence of Provocation

The moment the box was in hand, Cheng Xiaoxiao swiftly stored it away, using Zhou Yanlan’s body as cover. No one noticed.

Ouyang Qingsheng and a few elders looked at each other, bewildered as to how the box suddenly vanished from their grip.

Panic rushed straight to their hearts, and they knelt down in unison.

"Ancestor, please calm your anger!"

Ouyang Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly. The Shunyi Technique is always traceable, just invisible to ordinary people. In the eyes of top experts, it can always be tracked unless it can occur out of nowhere.

"It seems I underestimated you." Ouyang Ancestor coldly mocked.

The death of the attendant and guard didn’t even make him blink, but now that his painstakingly nurtured darling was moved, his mood sank to rock bottom.

The atmosphere on-site froze inch by inch, even more chilling than the snowy day outside.

Thinking the two were at the end of their strength, these people should be enough to handle them. They didn’t expect such a large ripple to arise.

Swallowed his darling...!

Seeing the Ancestor’s True Qi becoming fierce, neither dared to delay, drawing their weapons and rushing forward.

The secretly medicated Zhou Yanlan’s power surged immensely.

The soaring aura impacted his internal injuries, making the veins on his handsome face protrude, his tightly clenched fist creaking.

The medication’s effects are limited in time, he must fight fast and decisively.

He had explored some of the principles of the electric baton earlier, largely about paralyzing the meridians, but it was ineffective against high-realm cultivators.

He abandoned the electric baton, opting to engage with the Soldier’s Shovel against the two incoming attackers.

Now his strength was comparable to the late stage of Void Power, just a step away from becoming an Innate Grandmaster.

In a flash, he quickly took down the two elders, leaving one dead and one critically injured.

Forcing his enhancement also greatly harmed him, spitting a mouthful of bloody foam, with his qi and blood still surging. Perhaps the medication’s effects were even earlier than he imagined, he wanted Cheng Xiaoxiao to take advantage and escape.

The counterpart refused.

Is the mission more important than life?

Or is the penalty for mission failure harsher than death?

One has to say, someone was almost at the truth.

Seeing clansmen defeated, "Let me handle this!"

Second Elder, with overwhelming momentum, flew forward, his curved saber swiftly flew out, splitting in two, rotating rapidly, pressing from left and right directly toward the opponent’s face.

He too was a Void Realm expert, although he rarely fought.

This Second Elder’s martial prowess was much stronger, with open and close moves, his force continuous.

His strength was slightly inferior, managing to hold on, yet having no chance to counterattack, forced to defend.

Seeing Second Elder was no match for this person, other elders joined the battlefield one after another.

Mass attack begins!

Trying to minimize her presence, Cheng Xiaoxiao was still targeted by Ouyang Ancestor.

Who told her to break others’ taboo?

Facing the cold eyes, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s pupils constricted, her heart sank to the bottom.

Oh no... it’s over!

Dominant pressure swept toward her face, shaking her qi and blood, organs rupturing, blood flowing from seven orifices, tightly gripped by the person arriving in an instant.

The internal pain blurred, the suffocating sense of breathlessness flushed her face, with her brain blank.

"Tell me, where’s the thing hidden?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao reflexively drew out a sharp old companion, stabbing toward the enemy.

"You..." die!

Before the words were spoken, she realized the dagger in her hand was still half an inch away and couldn’t go further.

"Host, host, what to do now?" the system had never felt such panic and fear.

Anxiously circling around, energy rippling in waves.

Over there, Zhou Yanlan also noticed the urgent situation here.

He rotated his palm, causing airflow to roll, striking at the opponent’s chest.

Turning to rescue but couldn’t break free from being entangled.

Urgency in his heart turned to harshness, no longer defending, each move aiming directly at the opponent’s vital points.

’77, do we have grenades? Give me one, I want to perish with this old monster.’

The system was already in tears.

If only it had them.

"Host, our level isn’t high enough to buy grenades."

"Hang in there, the old monster shouldn’t kill you without the Poisonous Insect. I’ll be right back."

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew the system went to seek headquarters’ assistance.

But seemingly... it’s too late!

"Speak or not?"

Ouyang Ancestor pressed with more menace, the fragile neck feeling squeezed, sounds of cracking, terrifying to hear.

Cheng Xiaoxiao forcibly regained some rationality, frantically slapping the hand clenching her neck, pointing to her mouth.

The meaning was obvious: You’ve squeezed sister so she can barely breathe, how can she explain?

Soon after, her body was like a kite off its string, flung out, crashing to the ground.

Cheng Xiaoxiao vomited several mouthfuls of fresh blood before recovering.

Dammit, excruciating!

Sister won’t do this task anymore.

Old monster, right? I’ll use this life to take you down with me.

Cheng Xiaoxiao supported her weak body, hiding the menacing bloodthirsty eyes, gesturing to the old monster, her voice as faint as a whisper, "Come here, you, come, I’ll tell you."

"Stop playing tricks, maybe I’ll let you die a bit more swiftly."

Viewing the opponent’s intake more than out-take, with only half a life left, seemingly incapable of much trickery.

Thus, he stepped forward, squatting down.

The opponent’s voice was so faint.

Thus, Ouyang Ancestor leaned in his ear, listening closely.

"The, the box, is, is in my, my pocket, pocket..."

Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke in broken phrases, utterly weak.

The immense pain made her wish for death on the spot, yet she squeezed out the words.

Ouyang Ancestor felt the opponent was mocking him. Earlier in the moment when she was blown away by the Qi Force, if she had the box, it would’ve been shaken loose.

Just about to react... yet saw the opponent tremble with bloody hands, taking out the Ancient Bronze Box from behind.

Ouyang Ancestor’s eyes shone, it was his box.

He immediately snatched it.

Momentarily opened it, suddenly a shadow leaped from the box, so fast he nearly couldn’t catch it, unfortunately capturing it was useless, for being too close, once aware of the danger, the shadow sprang onto his eyes, claws tearing his eyeball, blood gushing instantly.

"Ah!"

Xiao Li vanished into dust when taken away by Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Powerful airflow sent her flying out, flipping several times, landing heavily.

"Girl!"

Suddenly heard someone shout, was it for her?

The voice sounded nice!

Brain concussion, consciousness muddled, bloodied mouth corner tugged slightly.

Zhou Yanlan, eyes wide, broke free from those behind, assaulting Ouyang Ancestor.

Peak of Void Realm brought him close to Ouyang Ancestor, barely coping.

But the gap in realms couldn’t change the outcome.

After over a hundred moves, Zhou Yanlan was blasted away by Ouyang Ancestor’s palm.

This time, he no longer got up.
