Chapter 204: 204: The Trio of Fools Contribution
Just moments ago, he felt utterly exhilarated. It had been a long time since he last fought like this. The last time was when he was ambushed by Wei Guang and the others.
The two men didn’t move. After glancing over Jiang Xiaobai, they rushed to check the previous man’s injuries.
Fortunately, only half of his shoulder had been cut open. The injury looked searing, but he’d be okay after some time.
Unquestionably, Jiang Xiaobai’s strength was terrible, to say the least.
He was at the late Yuan Infant stage after all. If he reached Transcendence, his earlier blow could’ve killed that man outright. This time, all three of them felt quite challenged.
“Ahhh!”
“You cruel bastards! Why do you always aim for my ass!”
On the side, heartrending cries came from AnRan as two black-clad men chased and attacked him.
He looked disheveled, but Jiang Xiaobai noticed that AnRan’s life was not in danger. These two men were only here to beat him up, not to kill him.
Otherwise, AnRan would’ve been killed in less than five minutes.
“Who are you people, what’s your bone to pick with me? Why do you come to harass me like this?” Jiang Xiaobai asked, staring coldly in front of him.
“It doesn’t matter who we are. All I can tell you is, messing with our lady comes with dreadful consequences.”
A man in black said coldly.
Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled, their lady?
Thinking quickly, he’d only upset two women, Lin Sien and Gong Shuier.
He ruled out Lin Sien right away. Despite her fierce looks, she was rather a coward and would easily back down.
As for Gong Shuier…
“As far as I can remember, I gave her two pills, which were of significant help.
Instead of thanking me, she tries to retaliate?”
However, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t convinced. Gong Shuier couldn’t be the mastermind.
So, who was it then?
“Stop guessing. Albeit you are quite impressive, but you are merely at the late Yuan Infant stage, and we outnumber you.”
“That strike of yours must have consumed quite a bit of your spirit power. How many more can you manage, once, or twice?”
“You cannot escape the inevitability of a beating.”
“Are you really here just to beat me up?” Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth. “Exactly, our lady is not cruel, she simply wants to teach you a lesson.”
The man in black snorted coldly and signaled the two men chasing AnRan.
Instantly, the two men quickly caught up and mercilessly bashed AnRan about the head, bound him with a rope and suspended him from a tree.
This rope was a valuable item, no matter how hard AnRan struggled, he could not break free.
“Boss, help me!” AnRan swung back and forth, crying out tragically. “Don’t bother, your boss is hardly off the hook himself.”
A man in black smirked cruelly. Then, four men and one heavily injured cornered Jiang Xiaobai.
“Kid, let’s see how you escape now!”
Upon saying that, all five lunged at Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai was so mad he could have gone insane. These five men, they came all the way here, not for the bounty, not for money, but to beat him up.
How belittling, isn’t it?
“Damn! Looking down upon me comes with a cost!”
Jiang Xiaobai growled. He disappeared from their sight using his earth escape technique. While they were distracted, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly appeared behind one of them and slashed down with Yuan Hong.
As expected of a man in the late stages of Transcendence, his reaction was quick. He hastily turned to defend with his weapon against the attack, but no one anticipated the sharpness of Yuan Hong.
One slash, and it cleaved his long sword in two.
If not for his swift reaction, he would’ve been injured by this attack. “This kid is crafty, his sword is horrifying. It must be some sacred weapon!” someone exclaimed.
A sacred weapon. Only an individual of superior strength could wield it. The fact that Jiang Xiaobai possessed such a weapon indicated a powerful backing.
But at this point, they didn’t have time to reflect. As soon as Jiang Xiaobai was spotted, all five attacked him.
This was the best way to deal with him.
Once again Jiang Xiaobai disappeared using earth escape, and resumed his old tricks, suddenly appearing behind someone to launch a surprise attack.
But now all five were anticipating his moves. As soon as Jiang Xiaobai vanished, they collectively turned to guard their backs, just in case.
This move no longer worked for Jiang Xiaobai.
The situation had grown critical.
In an instant, the dense forest was filled with the chasing game of cat-and-mouse. Whenever Jiang Xiaobai appeared, all five would frantically chase him.
However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t give up!
He knew he wouldn’t be able to escape for long, and they wouldn’t give him a chance to escape because they had AnRan.
With this in mind, Jiang Xiaobai was already plotting his course of action to rescue AnRan and then escape.
Just then, unexpectedly, three black hammers appeared from an unknown location in the sky and they smashed down on the heads of three black-clad men.
The attack was so sudden that even if they reacted it was too late. All of their attention was on Jiang Xiaobai. They never saw it coming.
All at once, three hammers hit their targets, causing them to spit out blood and see stars.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed.
Those three idiots were following him all along, and now they were ready to ruin the game again!
Although he struggled to fathom the thought processes of these three idiots, now that they had shown up, it provided a perfect opportunity for him.
Without second thoughts, Jiang Xiaobai ‘sold out’ his team, disappeared in plain sight, and appeared beside AnRan. Yuan Hong swung, breaking the rope that bound AnRan.
Atter rescuing AnRan, Jiang Xiaobai grabbed the back collar ot his clothes and they ran into the distance using the wind escape technique.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The five men in black were dumbfounded, also shocked because they hadn’t noticed people hiding in the surroundings.
“Damned bastard, who are you? Show yourself!”
A man in black roared in anger, his spiritual senses opened to the fullest, trying to locate any traces around them.
Too bad, the three idiot brothers did an excellent job of concealing themselves. These men could not find them.
Unable to find the attackers, the men in black threw tantrums on the spot. They spontaneously decided to chase after Jiang Xiaobai.
However, the three idiot brothers struck again in their strange way, right on the heads of the same three people.
This time the attack was too much. The three almost collapsed on the ground..
