Chapter 370 - Calling for Thieves"System, what should I do now?"
Even if he still had the system skill "Buddhist Light" and the "Thousand Li Transmission Technique", it would not be a big deal now. Xue Ba and the others were not the Cloud Beasts of the Silvermoon Mountain Range, so how could they possibly be scared off by him?
For a time, the exhausted Xiang Yun could only turn to the system for help. As the host, the system had to think of a way to resolve this predicament to save the host.
However, the system"s reply was very straightforward!"I don"t know!"
"You …" Xiang Yun"s face twitched violently, the roots of his teeth itching in anger. But at this moment, he had finally realised that he seemed to have really reached a dead end.
When he thought about how he would have to leave this world before he even completed the three major quests of the System and even said a formal farewell to Xiao Ling"Er and Luo Ning, a wave of unwillingness rose in his heart!
At this moment, Xue Ba also did not have any more patience. Seeing that Xiang Yun was indifferent, the killing intent in his eyes quietly spread as he coldly said, "Since you don"t know how to appreciate favors, then go and die!"
As he finished speaking, a blood-red light once again appeared in his palm. A blood-red light covered his large hand as he took a single step forward. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xiang Yun, his palm striking down towards Xiang Yun"s head!
However, he was unwilling to give in, and he still lifted up the barely acc.u.mulated cloud energy, raising his fist to meet Xue Ba"s fist. Even if he were to die, he could not die in such a pathetic manner!"Bring it on!"
At the same time Xiang Yun punched out, all of the cloud energy in his body gathered towards his dantian. Xiang Yun had made up his mind; even if he died, he would drag Xue Ba down with him.
"Humph! You"re courting death!"
Xue Ba snorted in ridicule and pressed down with his hand. He was already less than an inch away from Xiang Yun"s head. The s.p.a.ce below his palm had already been enveloped by a b.l.o.o.d.y light!"Rumble!"
At this crucial moment, the entire seventh floor of the Gesun Trading Company shook violently. The previously indestructible great formation actually let out a shrill hum, and countless streaks of silver lightning instantly pierced through the light barrier of the formation. The great formation suddenly exploded, causing the entire building to shake violently!
At the same time, a silver streak of lightning shot through the sky, heading straight for Xue Ba"s head in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a silver streak of lightning shot through the sky, heading straight for Xue Ba"s head in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!"
A m.u.f.fled sound of thunder exploded in the long corridor, instantly blowing all the doors and windows to pieces, and Xue Ba, who was in the middle of resisting the lightning bolt, suddenly shook.
Just like a cannonball, Xue Ba actually flew backwards with a loud bang. His body directly collided with the iron wall at the end of the long corridor, causing his entire body to almost sink in!
"What!"
At this moment, not only Xue Ba, but all the other Goliath experts present, even the normally expressionless Ouyang Chengwen, revealed a look of shock. Xiang Yun was also stunned as he looked at this scene in a daze.What was going on? The entire store was in an uproar. The formation shattered and a bolt of silver lightning directly sent Xue Ba flying. Could it be justice from the sky? Did the heavens show their might? It couldn"t be such a coincidence.
Just as Xiang Yun was lost in his thoughts, the roof of the Gesun Trading Company suddenly exploded. A figure fell from the sky, slowly descending!The person was as tall and st.u.r.dy as a mountain. He wore purplish golden armor that flickered with a cold light. His cloak was fluttering in the wind and his entire body was covered with a layer of silver …
The lightning wrapped around them, coiling around them like silver snakes.As he floated down, the entire corridor was illuminated with a snow-white light!
At this moment, the air seemed to have become sharp. It was so piercing that it made one"s face ache. At the same time, they felt a huge pressure, causing them to feel suffocated.
At this moment, everyone"s eyes were attracted by the burly figure that descended from the sky, whose entire body was bathed in lightning. Through the intertwined electric net around his body, everyone"s eyes were fixated on the handsome face with an unswerving determination!
"Great General!"
Although Xue Ba was blasted to the end of the corridor in a panic, he was not injured at all. Facing this person, he immediately recognized who this person was!
All of a sudden, Xue Ba, whose body had suffered a violent impact and his Qi and blood was in disorder, was breathing rapidly again. His face changed drastically as his entire face suddenly turned pale. His eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment!At the same time, the moment the Gesun Merchant Shop"s Ou Chengwen saw Xue Ba, his eyes filled with shock as he exclaimed, "Xiang Jinglei, it"s actually you!"
When the Berserker Tribe guards heard this name, fear appeared on their faces at the same time. In terms of the entire Cold Mountain Pa.s.s, there was almost no one who was afraid of the Berserker Tribe, but only this surnamed Xiang family, especially the Ares of Wind Cloud Nation, Xiang Ling"s bloodline, was extremely afraid!
This all originated from the b.l.o.o.d.y lesson that Xiang Tian had taught to the barbarians ten years ago, when he had led the Snow Wolf Cavalry to personally lead them.This man had the same surname - Xiang. He was also a martial arts genius. Moreover, he was the son of that man. The dazzling power of thunder and lightning in his body and the endless pressure he exuded made the hearts of everyone in the barbarian race tremble!
The only one who did not reveal a hint of shock was most likely Xiang Yun. Upon seeing this familiar figure, Xiang Yun, who had originally had a determined look on his face and was boiling with cloud energy in his dantian, instantly felt his body go limp as he leaned against the broken door frame.
"d.a.m.n it, this guy is finally here!"
Xiang Yun mumbled to himself with a wry smile. The raging cloud energy within his dantian slowly returned to his spirit root. At this moment, the expression on his face finally relaxed.
Xiang Yun was extremely displeased with this fellow before him. After all, in this man"s hands, the number of times Xiang Yun had been beaten and scolded was simply countless.But at this moment, he couldn"t help but admit that his heart was incomparably calm the moment this guy appeared. Because if he came, then his life would definitely be saved!
Xiang Lei"s sudden appearance had intimidated everyone, causing the entire corridor to fall into a strange silence that could even be heard if a needle dropped!
"Chi chi chi!"
Xiang Jinglei slowly withdrew the lightning and profound light on his body, his figure gradually revealing itself to the crowd. His tall and st.u.r.dy body under the armor did not seem to be at a disadvantage even when standing in front of the barbarians.Xiang Jinglei"s face was cold and indifferent. He opened his eyes and looked at Xue Ba, who had already finished recuperating from his injuries and was still pale!
"Commander Xue, can you give me an explanation for why you"re here?" It was a simple question, yet it carried an undeniable authority!
Xue Ba"s body involuntarily trembled slightly. The majesty and domineering aura of the commander of the Black Armored Army had disappeared completely the moment this man appeared in front of them.
Even though Xue Ba thought in his heart that Xiang Jinglei was just a young man who had relied on his family"s background to become a Great General, his heart could not help but tremble when he stood in front of Xiang Jinglei and was stared at by his sharp eyes.
"I …"
Xue Ba instantly opened his mouth, but did not know what to say. He did not have the courage for a moment …Instead, he swept his gaze across the crowd and looked at Xiang Yun. The latter had an epiphany and suddenly knelt down in front of him and said, "You"re courting death!"
"General, this lowly general is here to capture the captain of the Tiger City Patrol Office, Wei Xiaobao!"
"Hmm?"Hearing this, Xiang Jinglei glanced at Xiang Yun who was lying on the ground, looking as if he was better off dead than alive. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his expression did not change in the slightest.
Xiang Yun, on the other hand, looked at Xue Ba with a strange expression. In his heart, he had already given this fellow a big thumbs up.
Brother Niu, at this time, you actually managed to think of such a high-handed move. I was clearly the one who led the enemy and betrayed the country, and now, I have even become a meritorious general who goes deep into the bandit"s nest to catch the traitor. I have to say, Xue Ba"s brain was really nimble for being able to sit in this position.
However, Xiang Yun was too lazy to explain to Xue Ba"s injustice. His body leaned limply on the doorstep as he lazily looked at the crowd. It was as if the matter had nothing to do with him at all.
"Is that so?" Xiang Jinglei only indifferently spat out two words.
Xue Ba nodded his head again and again with a face full of loyalty: "This subordinate is not lying, it was this kid who betrayed the country and stole the secret map of the barracks to offer to the barbarians. This subordinate has been following him all the way and is about to catch him, if General does not believe me, we can make this kid hand over his storage ring and find out after checking!".
He knew that the latter would help him conceal his ident.i.ty. After all, the two of them were secretly cooperating. His ident.i.ty was of great use to the barbarians.
Ou Chengwen understood immediately, and his face flickered for a moment before finally remaining silent!
After hearing Xue Ba"s confident testimony, Xiang Jinglei finally looked at Xiang Yun who was leaning against the side. The two of them exchanged a look, revealing impatient expressions, as they disliked each other.
"Stand up if you"re not dead!" Xiang Jinglei could not bear to see Xiang Yun look so weak and sickly the most, immediately reprimanding him in anger.
Seeing how Xiang Jinglei was treating Xiang Yu so maliciously, Xue Ba secretly rejoiced in his heart. It seemed that Xiang Jinglei really did not doubt him, hehe.
Faced with Xiang Jinglei"s furious rebuke, Xiang Yun who had been lazily lying on the ground only shifted his b.u.t.t in a comfortable position, crossing his legs at the same time in a leisurely position with one leg crossed over the other, pouting as he muttered in displeasure."I don"t feel bad talking while standing here. It"s already good that I am alive after being beaten up like this. Do you think I have to stand in a military stance after being beaten up like that for you to see?"
Xiang Yun"s actions and reply immediately shocked a large number of people. Xue Ba was stunned, this brat couldn"t have had a brain damage, it"s fine if he didn"t try to defend himself, but he actually dared to contradict Xiang Jinglei like this, isn"t this courting death? Even the group of barbarians was stunned."Humph!" Ding Jinglei"s eyes flashed with ferocity as he raised his hand.
"Cough cough cough, stand up immediately, don"t take advantage of others and beat the wounded!"
Based on the principle that a wise man doesn"t eat a loss, Xiang Yun steadied himself against the wall and stood up. He knew Xiang Jinglei"s bear temper. If he said he"d beat him up, he"d beat him up. He wouldn"t be slurred in the slightest.Seeing Xiang Yun stand up obediently, Xiang Jinglei smiled coldly and said, "You sure have guts. You even dare to enter a place like this by yourself?"
However, Xiang Yun snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain as he said, "At the very least, if I die, I"ll be able to pull someone down with me. It wouldn"t be a loss!"Hearing this, Ding Jinglei"s originally stern face was slightly startled. Not only was he not angry, but he instead smiled and said, "Hehe, this is a little interesting. This is the temper of a man from the Xiang Family."
With that said, everyone was shocked!
