Nine Star Burden - Chapter 227
Chapter 227: Victors Legion
“Ahhh!”
“Ahhh, someone died!”
“Hurry and run, quick, run…”
“Hush, hush, all of you, calm down!”
As the Star Warrior wearing a SWAT uniform smashed his head against the glass window, his body began dripping with blood, and half of his body had plunged into the apparel store, causing the staff to panic.
“Xuexue?” Xia Yan looked at Han Jiangxue who was at the side and seemed to want to try something.
Han Jiangxue frowned and said, “Xiaopi, heal him. Let’s go out and take a look.”
Without hesitation, Jiang Xiao cast a Blessing on the policeman and reached out to place a hand on his shoulder, giving him a Blessing.
Jiang Xiao hurriedly threw out a shot of Bell, and the white ray medical light darted towards the policeman in front of him. However, Jiang Xiao suddenly felt that something was wrong as if something was traveling along with the light and surging towards himself instead!
It was as if… as if the thing was hiding beneath the white ray of medical light and rushing towards Jiang Xiao along the trajectory of Bell.
Huff…
Jiang Xiao was slightly dazed, but he continued to release Bell while the medical light emitted a faint white fluorescence in the sky, which was absolutely beautiful.
Jiang Xiao’s eyes were a little… glassed over.
The bouncing ray of medical light produced the crisp and melodious sounds of Bell, making the panicking staff feel a little relieved.
“Star Warrior! This kid is a Star Warrior, a Medical Awakened Star Warrior!” a girl exclaimed, overjoyed.
“He looks a little familiar. Those two girls…” The people began chattering, and the three were soon recognized.
While the people were gossiping amongst themselves, Jiang Xiao shook his head forcefully in a bid to make himself sober up.
He tried to drag the unconscious policeman into the store and almost at the same time, he seemed to hear angry mooing that resembled the sounds of a mad cow.
Jiang Xiao looked up subconsciously, only to see an extremely ugly creature with two horns on its head, which had pierced through a corpse that was bleeding profusely and splattering blood everywhere. It was bulldozing unrestrainedly on Central Street and surging forwards.
Even Jiang Xiao was shocked, not to mention the ordinary people.
The entire street was in chaos as people screamed, cried, and shrieked in a frenzy. It was just like purgatory on earth.
Jiang Xiao looked at the huge figure from the back with a stunned expression, and he was a little dumbfounded.
What’s this!?!
Jiang Xiao realized that he had never seen it before!
At least, he had never learned about it in the books.
The hideous monster was more than two meters tall and walked with its body upright. It had gray skin that was cracked and resembled stones.
It had a large head, bloodshot eyes, and two horns on its head which also resembled cow, a horse, and a deer, all at the same time. They looked extremely peculiar and their movements were rather exaggerated.
They had large claws and long sharp nails and looked absolutely disgusting as they drooled continuously.
The hideous Stone Monster moved its head and flung the corpse on its horn away. It then opened its large mouth and revealed its sharp fangs, giving off a pungent breath as it attacked everything in sight.
Seeing this cruel scene, Han Jiangxue obviously wouldn’t sit back and do nothing. Although there wasn’t much she could do, she wanted to keep the situation in control, at least before the Victors Legion and the Star Warriors Armed Police Force arrived.
Han Jiangxue curled her fingers and a hideous monster with stone-like skin was directly propelled into the sky by the Barren Wind.
“Xuexue, did you bring the sword? Xiaopi’s one works too. Hurry and give me the sword,” Xia Yan requested hurriedly.
While controlling Barren Wind, Han Jiangxue frantically opened Sky Smasher and Xia Yan extended her arm to reach in and fumble about. She then pulled out Jiang Xiao’s giant steel sword.
Xia Yan swung it seemingly in disdain as she found it to be too light.
She then walked away from the broken glass display while carrying the sword.
Behind her, a middle-aged woman barked. “Lass, where are you going? It’s dangerous outside. Hurry and come back.”
“Yeah, yeah. If you fight recklessly, you’ll be held accountable,” said a middle-aged man.
“That’s right!”
“Come back, don’t go out and join the mess. Just stay with us and protect us.”
It initially sounded like a kind reminder, but it slowly became a little warped.
Xia Yan was still hesitating at first, but when she heard the words “just stay with us and protect us”, she immediately flew into a rage.
However, just as Xia Yan picked up the giant sword and got ready to cast a Flame Arc at the ugly monster in the air, the people of the Victors Legion arrived!
The one who took the lead and rushed out was a long-haired man with a spear and a look of determination on his face.
The man was about 30 years old, and the ponytail at the back of his head swung together with his fast-moving figure. He was wearing a yellow and gray camouflage combat uniform that was unique to the Victors Legion.
Of course, the strange color combination was not for the sake of gaining popularity, but instead, it was intended to attract attention.
The material of this combat uniform had the same effects as the traffic police’s reflective uniform and the workers’ safety attire, all of which were meant for catching the people’s attention.
Unlike the guardians of the Dimensional Spaces and the Guardians Of The Night, the Victors Legion did not have to hide. On the contrary, they wanted to be eye-catching and attract the different creatures of other dimensions that had suddenly appeared on Earth, in a bid to make the creatures attack them instead.
Of course, due to the diversity of creatures of other dimensions that had different body structures, the effects achieved would be different too.
However, one thing for sure was that it was definitely agonizing to be an assassin in the Victors Legion.
Back to the main topic.
The domineering man with the ponytail had clearly attracted everyone’s attention. While holding onto a spear, electric current surged through his body and everything was in chaos!
The electric-series Star Techniques were undoubtedly the strongest in output!
The man’s clothes were bright, but the current was brighter!
He had truly achieved the effect of being able to dominate despite being outnumbered.
Upon sight of the people from the Victors Legion, Han Jiangxue hurriedly put away her Barren Wind.
An electric current was launched from the tip of the man’s spear and had hit the ugly stone monster.
Next, the man hurried forward while gripping his spear tightly and lunged forward to stab the monster.
Bang!
The hideous stone monster did not fly away, but a hole bore through him.
Clearly, the spear in the man’s hand was extremely sharp and he could use it well to his advantage.
If the monster were human, it would have definitely already died. However… the ugly monster seemed to still be alive?
The ugly stone monster swung its huge claws.
It was more than two meters tall and its arms were long. Its sharp claws were also full of dark fog.
*Screech*!
There was a deep scratch mark on the right shoulder of the man and his clothes were all tattered and torn!
The domineering man seemed to have failed to sense it. Although it was his first time dealing with the new creatures that had appeared for the first time, he did not panic at all. He pulled his spear back forcefully and used it as a rod. He then turned over nimbly and slammed the spear down!
The current in the spear was overflowing and the ugly monster was smashed into bits!
The ugly stone monster was turned into gravel and the scene was extremely peculiar.
After just a few seconds, the stone-like skin of the monster turned into grayish-black flesh. Although it was now in a physical body with flesh, it still looked rather daunting.
“Zebin, are you alright?” a gentle and elegant middle-aged man asked as he went behind him quickly amidst the sound of Bell.
It would be difficult to find a soft-spoken person amidst a group of fierce and menacing troops. He was Wei Zhi, the Medical Awakened commander of the team.
Yan Zebin shook his head quietly without even looking at his wound that was continuously healing. Instead, he shifted his gaze and looked at the chaotic scene on Central Street in the distance.
Along the stone road, numerous hideous and hysterical stone monsters could be seen making a mess. The roads and stores getting ruined were considered trivial. What mattered were the humans that were still alive!
Yan Zebin heard a low and rumbling voice from the side. “Go on!”
The figure had already sprung out quickly like a phantom.
“Yeying, hang in there! No. 2 position!” the Medical Awakened commander Wei Zhi frantically yelled.
Yan Zebin dashed forwards, but no one noticed that his skin was gradually turning black after being scratched by the stone monster and then continuously healed by Wei Zhi’s Bell.
There was a handsome young man standing beside Wei Zhi who could be considered the youngest member of the team.
He was looking solemnly in the distance, waving his hands repeatedly and attacking the ugly stone monsters while the dreamy stardust continuously fell from the sky.
It was extremely dazzling and lethal. Although it seemed effortless to kill the stone monster, the amount of Star Power consumed was outrageous!
Not long after, the young man felt that his body was drained and he said while panting heavily, “Commander, there are too many of them and they’re launching attacks too quickly. I can’t control it any longer. I need to change my Star Technique. Why don’t…”
A feather-shaped Star Map appeared and drove a scepter into the ground in a bid to help them regain Star Power. “Hang in there, Shen Hao, the other teammates are rushing towards us. You…”
However, the Star Power recovery abilities of the white scepter were way slower than Shen Hao’s Star Power landing speed.
Shen Hao turned numb and his legs began to tremble. Clearly, he had used too much Star Power. Although he continuously said that he had to change Star Techniques, he gritted his teeth and persisted on.
It was because of how powerful the Star Technique was, so much that they could kill a hysterical and ugly stone wall effortlessly. The shorter the time they took to kill the enemies, the faster the people could escape.
Shen Hao seemed to only have one Star Technique that could support him. The others…
At this moment, a thick and large ray of black light shot over, giving Wei Zhi a great shock.
The dog tired Shen Hao immediately felt like Star Power was surging through him, only to discover that a dark and thick ray of black light had been inserted into his body.
The staff of the apparel store and Jiang Xiao were dumbfounded. He was determined to quickly condense his Star Power!
Damn it, this thing is actually so weak?
Some of them look so fearful and menacing on the surface, but in reality, their bodies had already been depleted and drained?
Wei Zhi turned his head to look at Jiang Xiao and nodded gratefully, only to discover that the few of them were rather familiar looking.
“Aren’t they the team from Beijiang High School?”
