Nine Star Burden

Chapter 141: Verbal Warning!

In the Arsenal, along the Northwest Route.

In the deep forest, the sounds of intense fighting could be heard, including that of a girl hollering.

“The left! The left! Hey, what’s wrong with you?” Xia Yan questioned while prying open the skull of the spearman with her giant sword.

Due to the fact that Xía Yan’s giant sword was too heavy, she had to go with the flow. As soon as she was about to turn around and slay another with her sword, she saw Jiang Xiao running over.

The left?

What left?

Jiang Xiao was rather dumbfounded. What’s on the left?

There’s nothing there?

Whatever, I don’t care anymore.

All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao strode forward and stabbed the spearman whose stone spear had been taken away from him and had his guard open.

The tip of the wooden sword glowed with green rays of light. Coupled with the “strong strike” effects of Green Glow, even a wooden sword would definitely be driven into the man’s chest!

Don’t be mistaken. If Green Glow only had a single “strong strike” effect, Jiang Xiao’s sword might only be able to pierce the spearman’s heart!

However, Green Glow had a greater function, which was it’s repelling effects.

Hence, as soon as the wooden sword was driven into the spearman’s chest, he was blown away and his body seemed to have lost control.

Bang!

The spearman’s body was slammed against a big tree.

Under the strong and intense Green Glow, there were still traces of purple light in the hidden areas.

Where did the purple light come from?

It came from the Nostalgia halo beneath Jiang Xiao’s feet.

The spearman’s body was blasted away and the Star Power on Jiang Xiao’s blade was pulled apart, forming a long, surreal thread that seemed to be floating. That.made everyone doubt if the silk-like threcad really existed.

Some vitality and Star Power poured out of the spearman’s body and moved along the faint and indistinct thread, surged towards Jiang Xiao’s giant sword, and poured into his body.

Da!

A crisp sound came from the right side of Jiang Xiao as Xia Yan managed to parry a sharp arrow with her sword.

She walked towards Jiang Xiao and chided, seemingly having expected better from him. “Didn’t I warn you about your left? Your left… uh…”

Xia Yan suddenly shut up because, after she turned around, she realized that it was the right..

“Hehe, Xiaopi, this halo of Nostalgia is really useful. She then giggled and said, “Go, catch up with your sister. Li Weiyi may be more useful than you, but I prefer cooperating with you. It’s too exciting”.

Li Weiyi, who was at the back and guarding Han Jiangxue from behind, carried his Black Shield diligently and blocked her from the arrows coming from the dense forest.

Jiang Xiao was the one who suggested the change in the formation.

He said that he was there to train his body and practice his swordsmanship.

Practical combat was clearly the best way to increase the standards of one’s skill.

After communicating with the team members, Han Jiangxue agreed to Jiang Xiao’s request. Hence, Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao were in charge of leading the way.

Both of them were holding giant swords.

Although they were cooperating with each other for the first time, they were doing it rather well, even though they did not have strong chemistry.

Xia Yan was extremely fit.

She would always react rapidly and make up for the lack of synchronization between the two of them.

Xia Yan was indeed still not too familiar with or used to the “Melee Healer” beside her.

Who was Li Weiyi?

The Shield Warrior!

Under all dangerous circumstances, he would often be able to protect Xia Yan.

What about Jiang Xiao?

Jiang Xiao’s skills may be inferior to Xia Yan’s, but under the terrifying effects of Green Glow, his giant sword was strong enough to shock her.

Whoosh!

Xia Yan held the sword with one hand and quickly stepped forward, facing the spearman that was kneeling on the ground. She then swung her sword downwards and beheaded him!

She picked up the head that had rolled onto the ground and threw it at Han Jiangxue, who was only less than 20 meters away from her. There were overlapping spaces beside Han Jiangxue and the head seemed to have vanished immediately.

Xia Yan, who had just beheaded the swordsman, did not use any Star Technique to do so and hence, the effects of the Nostalgia halo beneath her feet finally looked like the way they should.

Xía Yan’s sWord was covered with a thin layer of purple light. Ever since the spearman was decapitated, the faint purple fog connected itself from the headless corpse of the spearman to Xia Yan’s sword and quickly surged into her body.

She shivered in pleasure while her hand trembled. She held the sword in her hand as if she was trying to crush the handle in half. She then stabbed the sword into the headless corpse.

The dreanmy and fantastical fog engulfed the blade and surged towards Xia Yan, who murmured, “Oh, Xiaopi, my Xiaopi..”

At this time, Jiang Xiao wished he could kick Xia Yan, but he didn’t dare to do so.

While wielding his sword and blocking the arrows, Jiang Xiao exclaimed, “Shut up!”

Xia Yan was dumbfounded.

Under normal circumstances, Xia Yan wouldn’t be feeling so comfortable.

However, ever since the battle began, Jiang Xiao had been trying to try out his newly-acquired Star Techniques.

Hence, he had activated his Nostalgia Star Technique. On top of that, he even gave everyone a ray of Dawn.

Unlike Imprint, Dawn did not require any special mnethods for it to come into contact with the targets. Jiang Xiao could simply use any space to turn the dim golden halo beneath their feet into scale-like lines that were also gold in color.

As the lines of the halo under the feet of the four people turned in the clockwise direction, the attacks that they launched would emit a faint purple light. If one did not look closely, it would be difficult to deduce if it really existed.

Jiang Xiao discovered that the Silver Quality Nostalgia was still acceptable. When thcy attacked the enemy, they would absorb more vitality and Star Power compared to when Brass Quality Resentment was used. That was perhaps because the effects of Resentment within it had already been upgraded to Silver Quality.

For example, Xia Yan’s actions now were simple and brutal.

She simply stuck the sword into the still warm corpse and rapidly absorbed the Star Power and vitality from it.

How did that phrase go?

Striking the iron while it’s hot!

Hmm…

However, Xia Yan’s pleasure was not because of the over-pouring Star Power. Although she was replenishing her Star Power, she used even more Star Power during her battle. Hence, she did not absorb enough Star Power to make up for the depletion.

However, her vitality was almost going to pour out..

Xia Yan had gotten injured during the battle just now. As the rash and reckless healer, Jiang Xiao definitely had to take good care of his teammate.

Blessing+ Bell gave Xia Yan an appropriate treatment and her mind and body were at ease.

Xia Yan swung her sword again and again, and after every attack, she slowly recovered!

An accumulation of steps would lead to a distance of a thousand miles being covered.

An accumulation of streams would form rivers.

When the quantitative accumulation reached the critical point of qualitative change, Xia Yan seemed to be on the verge of evolution whenever she attacked.

What would she evolve into?

Jiang Xiao thought about it again and he somehow thought about the giant Second Last all of a sudden.

Jiang Xiao shuddered and said to Xia Yan, “Stab yourself”

Xia Yan leaned against the tree while holding onto the sword, appearing extremely sluggish and pleasured.

Her beautiful eyes were watery as she glanced at Jiang Xiao standing in front of her. She murmured, “What did you say?”

Jiang Xiao checked the surroundings, only to discover that two female Archers in the distance and Han Jiangxue seemed to have already attacked the two guys.

Jiang Xiao immediately put away Nostalgia and held Xia Yan’s palm in his hand.

Xia Yan tilted her head and glanced at Jiang Xiao in a silly and curious manner. She looked just like a beauty with an intellectual disability.

Whoosh!

The last two femalee Archers were also tossed out of the battlefield by Han Jiangxue’s Barren Wind.

While floating in mid-air, the flustered female Archer continuously tried to find her center of gravity and launched arrows despite flying towards Han Jiangxue.

The combination of Han Jiangxue and Li Weiyi was obviously more reliable and effective. Li Weiyi held his shield and defended Han Jiangxue while she activated Sky Smasher behind him.

At the instant that the female Archers hit Li Weiyi’s shield, Han Jiangxue and Li Weiyi dodged to the right, causing the two female Archers to plunge into Sky Smasher.

Finally, the four female Archers and four spearmen were completely annihilated.

As the last crisis was removed, Jiang Xiao hurriedly grabbed Xia Yan’s sleeve.

Han JiangxXue noticed that the two next to the tree had peculiar expressions.

She saw her younger brother holding Xia Yan’s hand, rolling up her sleeves, and…

He even pulled out a small army knife?

What was he doing?

Xia Yan, I’m doing this for your own good, Jiang Xiao said with a sullen expression.

Xia Yan held onto the handle of the sword with her left hand while leaning against the tree and allowing liang Xiao to hold her right hand. She extended her right arm.

The breeze blew across the battlefield and her messy chestnut-colored hair began to flutter.

As the faint metallic odor of blood filled the air, Xia Yan asked gently, “Xiaopi, what are you trying to do?”

At the next moment, Xia Yan felt a sharp pain in her arm.

Jiang Xiao held onto the knife and murmured something while writing on Xia Yan’s arm.

Steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck…
