Nine Star Burden - Chapter 191
Chapter 191: It Must Be a Special Fate
The handsome young man was Gao Junwei, a student who used to be one of the School Tyrants. His fighting style had long been thoroughly studied. After all, he had participated in plenty of competitions and there was lots of information and videos of him.
There were plenty of blood-stained headbands on Gao Junwei’s left arm. The deterring effect of that scene was just like that of an ancient military general hanging the head of an enemy whom he had decapitated on the neck of the horse.
Many teams became too scared even before the battle and immediately paid the “toll”, all because of the headbands on Gao Junwei’s arm.
There turned out to be a Shield Warrior at the back of the team. Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Weiliang who was slogging hard like a coolie, carrying a few large bundles of weapons in his arms. It was no wonder that he didn’t stand in front.
So many spoils?
They can totally set up an armory…
The girl in the middle was expressionless and she appeared cold, arrogant, and aloof.
The last one was Zhang Mingming, who was a superb commander.
What made Wu Haoyang rather surprised was the fact that that team simply looked at them from a distance and allowed them to pass.
Wu Haoyang suddenly yelled, “Have you robbed enough and decided to go back?”
Gao Junwei stopped in his tracks and looked at Wu Haoyang with a menacing gaze. However, Zhang Mingming poked his spine and urged him to continue.
It seemed that the team on the opposite side really did not intend to get into a scuffle and looked like they were going back to complete the mission.
Wu Haoyang raised his voice and yelled, “I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear!?!”
Qian Zhuang hurried forward to pull Wu Haoyang. He felt that there was no need for Wu Haoyang to be a “hero” and that getting a steady promotion to the semi-finals should be the right thing to do.
While being pushed away by Zhang Mingming, Gao Junwei turned around and said, “Don’t make trouble for yourself.”
Wu Haoyang was not angry and instead, he raised his sword and threw out a blazing Flame Arc, which landed directly on the tree in front of the opposing team.
Qian Zhuang reluctantly put down the bundle of weapons in his hand, knowing that they couldn’t avoid the battle this time.
However, the situation seemed to be turning around.
The commander of that team, Zhang Mingming, grabbed Gao Junwei’s arm, preventing him from acting impulsively.
Zhang Mingming turned around and said to Wu Haoyang with a smile, “Xindanxi High School No. 11, Wu Haoyang, I’ve long heard about you. How about we see each other in the semi-finals?”
Under such provocation, Zhang Mingming actually had the ability to stay calm and respond with a smile. Indeed, he was an impressive figure.
Wu Haoyang had clearly already entered the zone and retorted. “Semi-finals? What a joke! If there’s a fight, it has to be carried out early. If possible, we should fight now. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find anyone very soon!”
“Ah-choo!” Jiang Xiao, in the depths of the forest, suddenly sneezed.
Who’s thinking about me?
The sneeze could be considered astonishing.
If it were during normal circumstances, it would be fine. However, it was obviously not the right time, because his team was hunting down the second Ape Ghoul King.
At this moment, the four of them were hiding far behind a tree and listening to the sounds of the Ape Ghoul King in the distance.
The Ape Ghoul King had already dissipated the Body of Star Power. Clearly, its Star Power had been depleted, but its physical strength was still abundant. It was still full of energy and vitality.
The massive Ape Ghoul King smashed a huge stone and pounded its chest with its pair of giant fists. While it was panting after roaring, Jiang Xiao sneezed…
All of a sudden, the four of them panicked.
It was rather amusing, actually.
The soldiers staring at the screens in the monitoring room were also shocked and on the edge of their seats.
The sneeze seemed to have taken place while the Ape Ghoul King was taking a break from throwing a violent fit. It was extremely ear-piercing.
Strictly speaking, the Ape Ghoul King had already depleted all of its Star Power at this moment and after chasing carefully for such a long time, the team should be ready to attack.
However, sneak attacks would definitely be better than direct confrontation.
Without Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher, none of the teams would be willing to deal with the Ape Ghoul King, even if they had all their Star Power depleted. The physical abilities of beasts like Ape Ghoul Kings were far from what humans could compare to.
Roar!!!
The Ape Ghoul King turned around violently, its mind unclear. It didn’t have much ability to think, anyway. However, that was also the reason that it was completely animalistic and was extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment. It seemed to have heard a soft sound.
Han Jiangxue’s expression turned sullen. The team members had already communicated with each other a long time ago and came up with a concrete plan to use another solution. Although it sounded rather feasible, they still had to face a Gold Quality Ape Ghoul King. A slight mistake would cause them to end up being annihilated.
No one would be willing to risk their lives.
Huff…
Han Jiangxue opened her palms and raised her fingers slightly, after which a gust of wind swept through. However…
The messy wind simply caused the messy leaves and branches to be scattered all over together with the loose soil. The Ape Ghoul King’s large body was outrageously agile and flexible.
Han Jiangxue raised the index and middle fingers of her right hand again with a sullen expression.
Seemingly having sensed the subtle changes in the surrounding environment, the Ape Ghoul King twitched abruptly. Even if it was huge, Han Jiangxue couldn’t catch it!
The huge figure was getting nearer and nearer…
The overwhelming pressure swarmed over them.
To their utter astonishment and bewilderment, Han Jiangxue came straight out from behind the tree and aimed her open palms at the attacking Ape Ghoul King.
Has she decided to win or die trying!?!
Roar! The Ape Ghoul King waved its arms frantically and hollered angrily without restraint.
It had incredible speed and it was a flying Ape Ghoul. Besides, it was in the deep forest, and its body was extremely agile.
Li Weiyi swallowed some saliva and walked out with his Black Shield in hand.
Previously, they launched a sneak attack.
However, they actually chose to have a direct confrontation with the Ape Ghoul King.
Even if it was an Ape Ghoul King that did not have Star Power…
“Now!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed as he popped his head out from behind the tree and waved his arm violently!
He kept his eyes fixed on the Ape Ghoul King that was galloping vigorously. At the instant that it leaped up and dashed towards a giant tree, a shot of Blessing landed on it.
Both Blessing and Barren Wind were Star Techniques that would take effect instantaneously. However, why did Barren Wind continuously fail to even cause slight damage to the Ape Ghoul King?
Due to the fact that it was wind, the altered airflow and wind direction were sufficient for the agile and nimble Ape Ghoul King to react physically!
Even though its mind was unclear, its beastly instinct was enough for it to respond physically.
Blessing, however, was different. It was just a ray of light.
Jiang Xiao wanted light. Hence…
Han Jiangxue’s eyes lit up, and she curled her right index finger while the Ape Ghoul King seethed in pleasure.
Finally got it!
She swiftly blew the Ape Ghoul King up into the sky.
Li Weiyi shivered uncontrollably. However, his body was already drenched in a cold sweat.
It’s too damned thrilling!
I’ll never be a Shield Warrior in the next life!
I must be a great healer too and stay behind the team members!
“Tree! There’s a tree, blow higher!” Jiang Xiao frantically yelled.
Han Jiangxue didn’t pay any attention to Jiang Xiao at all. She simply waved her left hand and the spaces beside her suddenly overlapped. Sky Smasher!
She curled her right finger behind her back and the Ape Ghoul King levitating mid-air seemed to have been struck by an additional ejector behind it. Under Han Jiangxue’s control, its body stopped moving backward and instead smashed diagonally downwards.
“Blessing! Don’t let it wake up.” Han Jiangxue instructed.
“Okay.” Jiang Xiao didn’t dare to defy his sister’s orders and so hurriedly gave the Ape Ghoul King another Blessing.
That Blessing had long blown the floating Ape Ghoul King away and healed it thoroughly.
The Ape Ghoul King trembled violently and began swinging and flailing its limbs hysterically.
At last, it made some strange noises and danced peculiarly before diving head-on into Sky Smasher.
Li Weiyi swallowed his saliva. Although he didn’t do anything at all, he felt as if he had experienced a fierce battle, drenching him in sweat.
Xia Yan hurriedly sprinted towards them and pulled Han Jiangxue into her arms. Gently stroking Han Jiangxue’s head, she said gently, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Han Jiangxue was bewildered.
She struggled to get out of Xia Yan’s embrace and looked at her in shock while thinking to herself, I’m not afraid…
Although Xia Yan had a calm expression, she was delighted deep down.
Wow, I’ve gotten a benefit this time. This is the embrace of love.
At the same time, a massive sound came from the distance all of a sudden.
The four of them immediately kept their guards up and looked in the southeast direction almost at the same time.
“Eh? Is that Zhang Hui?” Xia Yan curiously asked all of a sudden.
They saw a thin figure carrying a bundle of yellow weapons and sprinting with all his might.
Behind him was an angry-looking woman boiling with fury.
When Jiang Xiao caught a clear glimpse of her face, his face immediately grew sullen…
It was Yu Zhen from Team No. 24 of Jiangbin High School No. 3!
