Nine Star Burden

Chapter 194: Blow and Blow

It’s messed up, it’s all messed up!

The entire northwest region of Shanxi was in a complete mess!

Jiang Xiao thought quickly and was thinking about how he could retreat. At this moment…

Xia Yan pressed her hand on Jiang Xiao’s head and twisted his head around, after which she lowered her head slightly and looked directly into his eyes. She questioned, “Who is this girl? Why don’t I know her at all? Don’t you like girls with long legs? What’s going on?”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Look at the gazes in those four pairs of eyes, they’re almost going to devour me!

Why are you stabbing your own members instead of guarding and defending?

The three teams were extremely domineering and there was a strong tension in the air. A slight disagreement would definitely result in a fatal confrontation.

Even a fool was able to tell that there was a conflict between Xindan Creek High School No. 11 and Jiangbin High School. Zhang Mingming got an idea and tugged the corner of Zhang Weiliang’s shirt, gesturing for everyone to slowly retreat.

“Hold it!” Wu Haoyang waved his sword and pointed it at Zhang Mingming. “I haven’t gotten a clear understanding of the abilities of the robbers. You’ve robbed from us and you want to leave!?!”

Jiang Xiao grabbed Xia Yan’s hand which was placed on his head and retreated.

Wu Haoyang suddenly turned around and hollered. “Hold it right there! Are you still trying to flee again this time?”

Damn it?

This kid is planning to fight two people at once? He’s very arrogant, eh?

Xia Yan held onto Jiang Xiao’s palm and pulled him back to make him stay behind her. She looked at Wu Haoyang and questioned, “Do you want to fight? Come at me!”

Xia Yan’s thoughts were very simple.

She could scold and beat her Xiaopi up however she wanted.

However, others were not to touch or berate him at all.

She thought, Besides, you’re a melee fighter, why do you want to fight one-on-one with a Medical Awakened?

Have you got any shame at all?

That was why Xia Yan said, “Do you want to fight? Come at me!”

To everyone’s surprise, Wu Haoyang actually added fuel to the fire. “Huh!?! How fierce!”

Qian Zhuang muttered, “Yo, yo, yo…”

Jiang Xiao suddenly felt an urge to move and sway his body according to the beat…

Fortunately, he could bear with the urge.

Everyone looked at Qian Zhuang, and most of them had peculiar expressions because they couldn’t figure it out at all.

Qian Zhuang panicked at the sight of everyone staring at him, and the more anxious he felt, the harder it was for him to complete his sentence.

Finally, the sounds of shuffling footsteps interrupted him.

A squad of soldiers appeared and walked straight to Yu Zhen who had passed out as if they didn’t see the three teams at all. They put Yu Zhen on the stretcher and sent her away from the battlefield.

Everyone’s attention was on the three powerful teams, but in fact, there was actually a fourth team.

Zhang Hui watched as Yu Zhen, whose flesh was badly mangled, got taken away by the soldiers. He rolled his eyes and secretly retreated.

He obviously couldn’t do something inauspicious, and being stuck in the middle of the three teams was not a good choice either. He withdrew his dagger and stepped backward to return to Han Jiangxue’s team’s side.

As Zhang Hui passed by Jiang Xiao, he whispered, “Jiang Xiaopi, fulfill the agreement and I’ll leave. I will leave immediately.”

He paused four times while trying to say one sentence. Zhang Hui had already picked up his big bundle of yellow weapons.

Gao Junwei glowered at Zhang Hui angrily as the latter left safely with the weapons!

Gao Junwei watched as his spoils got taken away. He was so infuriated that his face turned as red as a tomato and he began shivering continuously. However, he dared not chase after him.

On one hand, Wu Haoyang was glowering at him fiercely.

On the other hand, there would be no way for Gao Junwei to return if he were to dash forward.

Zhang Mingming glanced at the bundle of weapons in Zhang Hui’s hands. Although he remained calm, he was actually bothered by the bag in Jiang Xiao’s hands.

The bag used to belong to him. Later on, they were stolen by Zhang Hui when they were fighting against Xindan Creek High School No. 11. Clearly, Zhang Hui had used it to exchange for Jiangbin High School’s team’s protection.

Zhang Mingming racked his brains and gently patted Gao Junwei’s shoulder before whispering, “Calm down.”

The situation was now too complicated and Zhang Mingming was trying is best to think and come up with a solution to get the backpack back. How could he possibly retreat?

Obviously, Jiang Xiao’s team was even more hated. Zhang Mingming felt that as long as he made himself more scarce, the angst and hot-tempered Xia Yan would definitely end up in a fight with Wu Haoyang who loved to fight.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao suddenly spoke up.

He moved Xia Yan’s hand away and walked towards Han Jiangxue at the side, while saying to Wu Haoyang, “You know my name.”

Wu Haoyang gritted his teeth, wishing he could rip Jiang Xiao into shreds. “Of course, after I went back, I investigated you and found out all your information!”

Jiang Xiao walked to Han Jiangxue and whispered, “I’ll blow Gao Junwei back to the team from Xindan Creek later. Open your Sky Smasher now.”

Jiangxue was a little confused. She had no idea what her younger brother had up his sleeves. However, she still decided to cooperate.

Jiang Xiao struggled to pull out the dead Ape Ghoul King while yelling into the distance, “I’ll show you a treasure.”

Wu Haoyang was dumbfounded.

Just as he was about to get angry, astonishment was written all over his face, because Jiang Xiao had pulled out a massive creature from Sky Smasher!

Is that the Ape Ghoul King?

The Gold Quality creature of another dimension?

All of a sudden, everyone quietened down.

Not only did they see the Gold Quality Spatial Star Technique, Sky Smasher, they also saw this team slaughter an Ape Ghoul King.

What’s this?

Asserting dominance?

Even if it was the case, they were indeed really dominant!

Extremely fearless, he asked, “What do you mean?”

Jiang Xiao picked up his dagger and said unhurriedly, “It’s an Ape Ghoul King. We’re formidable, aren’t we? We killed such a big fellow.”

Wu Haoyang was speechless.

What the heck is this?

What ideas is he harboring?

Why does his tone resemble that of an elementary student asking to be praised?

Jiang Xiao was full of energy and intense Star Power. He held onto his dagger and stabbed it into the back of the Ape Ghoul King forcefully. After digging for a while, he pulled out a Star Bead and exclaimed, “Look, it’s a Gold Quality Star Bead!”

His tone was just like that of a kindergarten student asking for a reward.

While speaking, Jiang Xiao threw the Star Bead at Xia Yan before proceeding to prod at the Ape Ghoul King’s spine, trying his best to tear the burned part of the Ape Ghoul King.

Wu Haoyang couldn’t help but holler. “What exactly do you mean!”

Jiang Xiao quickly pulled out the medal from the back of the Ape Ghoul King and touched its soft fur with his bloodied hand. He said, “Nothing. I told you, I was going to show you a treasure.”

Wu Haoyang immediately picked up his crescent sword.

Jiang Xiao suddenly raised his head and said, “I mainly want to come clean with you.”

Wu Haoyang wondered to himself in shock, What’s going on?

Jiang Xiao signaled for Han Jiangxue to open Sky Smasher while saying, “Since you’ve investigated about me before, you’d know that I’m actually a Medical Awakened.”

Wu Haoyang humphed.

Jiang Xiao threw the medal into the Sky Smasher like an old scavenger. He then walked around while throwing the weapons scattered on the ground into the Sky Smasher. He didn’t stop talking either.

“I was alone in the snowfield at that time. Why would I dare to fight with a brave warrior like you?”

Zhang Mingming’s team watched as Jiang Xiao emptied Sky Smasher and picked up the weapons that his team had gotten before hunting the Ape Ghoul King, before continuing to act like a scavenger and moving them into Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher.

An Luming stomped her feet and said, “Is this the reason you lied to me?”

Pretending to be embarrassed, Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said, “I, I… I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of such a beautiful girl. I knew I’d definitely lose the battle, so I sneaked away. I only started feeling regretful after I scurried away.”

An Youyou blinked, feeling like something was amiss.

There were a total of 12 people in the audience. Everyone was watching Jiang Xiao scavenge and finding the scene to be extremely peculiar.

“Hey, you don’t know how guilty I feel,” said Jiang Xiao, who had finally finished moving everything into Sky Smasher. He then put his military backpack down.

In an instant, Gao Junwei flew into a rage.

Zhang Mingming hurriedly stopped Gao Junwei and looked into Jiang Xiao’s eyes again, only to see an extremely sullen gaze.

He suddenly discovered that Jiang Xiao had already taken action when he was still thinking about how he should fight the enemy and get his battle spoils back before retreating.

His actions were outrageous, and he had a strange personality. He made a lot of noise, and it was like boiling frogs in warm water.

He slowly infiltrated and slowly retaliated.

By the time the intolerable scene appeared, it was too late.

Zhang Mingming regretted it greatly. He felt that he ought to have already thought of it when Jiang Xiao was pulling out the Ape Ghoul King’s body from Sky Smasher and emptying it. He should have stopped it and started to control the development of the scene instead of letting Jiang Xiao fool everyone.

The military backpack contained all the medals that they had snatched!

Those were worth plenty of points!

“I’m sorry, I have failed you guys,” Jiang Xiao said, pretending to be miserable, causing Zhang Mingming to feel extremely terrible.

“I swear, if I see you again, I will be honest and tell you the truth loudly,” Jiang Xiao said while glancing at Wu Haoyang. “I don’t accept your challenge, I can’t beat you!”

Wu Haoyang looked at Jiang Xiao in shock. Silence filled the air in the forest all of a sudden.

Ten seconds later, Wu Haoyang shouted, “Okay!”

Zhang Mingming was dumbfounded.

Wu Haoyang looked at Jiang Xiao with admiration and said, “If I knew you were a Medical Awakened, I wouldn’t have gone toe-to-toe against you. Later on, I felt upset. Since you’re so frank, and you’ve also admitted to your mistakes, I shall not make things hard for you. I accept your apology!”

Zhang Mingming was dumbfounded

Excuse me?

What are you doing!?!

Jiang Xiao nodded like he had met a confidante. He exclaimed, “Indeed, you’re really magnanimous, Brother! You’re a real man!”

Wu Haoyang raised his head and humphed. “I’m not a bully.”

Jiang Xiao imitated Wu Haoyang’s style of speaking and said, “You and I really share the same sentiments. Brother, look, the team from Jiangbin High School No. 3 is being such a tyrant by bullying others and robbing them. Why don’t you join our team and send them back to the school for reform and moral education? What do you think?”

An Luming blinked her large and adorable eyes before looking at her sister beside her. Feeling dumbfounded, she asked, “What’s the matter? We’re not going to fight anymore? Have we become allies with Little Icicle?”

Xia Yan exclaimed with a peculiar expression, “Xiaopi, speak English!”

Jiang Xiao yelled, “Let’s kill them together?”

Wu Haoyang waved his hand and said with a look of righteousness, “No need for that! Bullying a team with fewer members is not an impressive feat. Our team will do!”

Jiang Xiao hurriedly pulled Xia Yan and gestured for Li Weiyi and Han Jiangxue to retreat. “Sure, I’ll heed your instructions and leave!”

Zhang Mingming muttered, “Jiang Xiaopi, you…”

Before he even finished, he heard Jiang Xiao urging Han Jiangxue. “Blow, keep blowing.”

Xia Yan couldn’t help let out a “humph”. “Am I indulging you?”

Han Jiangxue almost burst into laughter with a straight face.

No, the commander has to be stern!

Right before the conversation, Jiang Xiao had already given Han Jiangxue instructions. She didn’t understand it then, but she finally understood it now!

With a solemn expression, Han Jiangxue blew a shot of Barren Wind at Wu Haoyang…

Gao Junwei was suddenly “propelled into the air” and he flew towards Wu Haoyang while holding onto his waist.

The strong wind blew against his face and he hurriedly recovered from the shock. With fear and anger on his face, he barked. “Jiang Xiaopi! You, damn it…”

Before Gao Junwei could finish speaking, he was greeted by Wu Haoyang’s oncoming stab…
