Chapter 302 - 301: The Three Women are Rescued

BOOM!

The third strike arrived as expected, erupting with a powerful Vibration.

From the first strike to this third one, every time the sword struck Xiaofu’s Golden Thread Immortal Spirit Robe, it spewed forth roaring flames and triggered a series of violent explosions.

When the third strike smashed into the Golden Thread Immortal Spirit Robe, the garment on Xiaofu’s body shuddered violently. Ripples immediately spread across its surface. The robe, already almost impossibly transparent, started to blur as if it were evaporating, and then it vanished completely.

Although the North District examinee’s third strike had been nullified by the Golden Thread Immortal Spirit Robe, the repeated impact of immense Power had pushed the celestial garment to its limit. All of its Energy was depleted, and it dissipated into nothingness.

In other words, Xiaofu had lost the protection of the Golden Thread Immortal Spirit Robe. He had no defensive Techniques left. His Triple Protection had been completely shattered by the North District examinee!

However, before Xiaofu could even feel surprise or fear at losing the robe’s protection, the North District examinee’s assault continued without pause. With a swift motion, he brought his Broken Sword down on Xiaofu once again!

The fourth strike!

Such a powerful attack—one that could shatter the Golden Thread Immortal Spirit Robe in just three strikes—actually had a fourth strike!

One must understand, the Golden Thread Immortal Spirit Robe could defend against attacks from any Martial Artist below the rank of Battle Emperor. Yet, even an artifact like that was destroyed in just three strikes. And his opponent could still unleash a fourth strike of such terrifying might!

Who could possibly withstand an attack of this magnitude?

’Even a Battle Emperor would be severely threatened, wouldn’t they?’

And it seemed the opponent wasn’t just limited to four strikes...

"You just had to make me hack you to pieces..."

Xiaofu recalled the North District examinee’s words. At this moment, he seemed to finally understand what the examinee had meant...

’Does it mean that the Martial Technique this North District examinee is using involves numerous strikes, enough to hack a person to pieces?’

’Could there be more strikes after the fourth?’

’Then, when the North District examinee said, "Experience the treatment reserved for a Battle Emperor Martial Artist," did he mean that the Martial Technique he was using could actually threaten a Battle Emperor?’

’A mere examinee is actually this powerful?’

Xiaofu didn’t know if the other guy was bluffing, but from the look of things, he clearly wasn’t!

If he could, Xiaofu desperately wanted to send a message to Hex Anmin, to let him know how powerful this North District examinee was and to warn him to be careful. This examinee might truly be able to overturn their plans and cause their mission to fail.

Unfortunately, Xiaofu no longer had the chance to send that message. Nor would he get to see the North District examinee unleash a fifth strike.

Because the North District examinee’s fourth strike was already crashing down...

SLASH!

The North District examinee gripped his Broken Sword and brought it down in a vicious overhead chop. With a single slash, he cleaved the unprotected Xiaofu in two, killing him instantly.

However, did he think death would be the end of it?

Of course not!

After killing Xiaofu with the fourth strike, the North District examinee continued, unleashing the fifth, the sixth, all the way to the thirtieth strike!

Once the Martial Technique began, it was impossible to stop!

The immense Sharpness in the air, the searing flames, and the terrifying explosive shockwaves—all of it continued to rain down on Xiaofu’s dead body, a brutal and inhuman desecration!

Only after all thirty strikes were complete did the North District examinee finally stop...

And as for Xiaofu, not even dust was left. The flames produced by the Broken Sword had incinerated even the smallest fragments of his corpse, turning them to ash.

After killing Xiaofu, the expression on the North District examinee’s face finally relaxed. Although he was a bit pale, the madness was gone, and he had regained his usual composure.

At this point, he looked over to where Mu Xianling and the other two women were. He found them huddled together, their delicate bodies trembling with fear.

Unable to run, unable to die—the situation just now had been utterly hopeless. The three women had been completely terrified by Xiaofu. Even when someone came to their rescue, and despite the huge commotion, none of them dared to look up. They had no idea who had saved them, much less that they were now safe.

Seeing Mu Xianling and the other two in such a state, the North District examinee’s heart ached. At the same time, his hatred for Xiaofu and his cohorts intensified!

’If not for them, how could these cheerful, lively girls have been frightened to this extent?’

Walking over, the North District examinee took off a piece of his own Clothing and draped it over the three women. In an incredibly gentle voice, he said to them, "It’s okay now. Everything is okay."

Feeling someone approach, Mu Xianling and the other two women flinched. Their bodies instinctively shrank back, their heads bowed lower, and they held onto each other even tighter, their fear intensifying.

Seeing that the three women still hadn’t recovered from their terror, the North District examinee’s heart ached even more. He crouched down, patted Mu Xianling and Tang Shu on their shoulders, and gently reassured them again, "The bad guy is dead. You’re safe now. Everything is okay."

Just then, hearing a familiar voice, Mu Xianling hesitated for a moment. Then, slowly and cautiously, she raised her head to look at the person who had approached them.

A high-bridged nose, bright and endlessly charming eyes, a resolute face that wasn’t handsome but was comforting to look at...

The moment she saw him, Mu Xianling’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. All the pain, all the terror, all the fear—every emotion transformed into surprise and a profound sense of grievance. A thousand words ultimately condensed into just two.

"Tang Yi!"

With a cry, Mu Xianling threw herself at the North District examinee. Completely disregarding whether she was clothed or not, she collapsed into his arms and began to sob, letting out all the grievances that had built up during this time.

And this North District examinee who had come here, killed Xiaofu, and rescued Mu Xianling and the other two women—who else could it be but Tang Yi!

"Er."

Tang Yi froze for a second.

However, seeing Mu Xianling trembling in his arms, releasing countless grievances through her tears, Tang Yi’s heart ached immensely. He patted her back and comforted her, "It’s okay, it’s all okay. I’m here now."

This proud, stubborn, and strong woman was actually showing such a vulnerable side. It was clear just how much she had suffered recently.

Meanwhile, Tang Shu, who was beside them, heard Tang Yi’s familiar voice and Mu Xianling’s cry of his name. She too raised her head.

The moment she saw Tang Yi, she burst into loud wails and rushed toward him...
