"Jiang Ci, save me!"
Chapter 681 "Jiang Ci, save me!"
Bai Mianmian didn't make a move when those people surrounded Zhang Weitao and his group.
Seeing that the enemy was chasing after Sun Yuxin and the others, she had no intention of making a move.
She could stand idly by, but Zhang Weitao and the others couldn't just watch Sun Yuxin get attacked, otherwise they would inevitably face complaints afterward.
"Sister-in-law, may I leave two people behind to protect you... at your beck and call?" Zhang Weitao asked in a consultative tone.
“Take them all with you,” Bai Mianmian said without hesitation.
It seems that keeping this person around serves no purpose other than weakening Zhang Weitao and his men's fighting strength.
If there's a real danger to life, who will protect whom?
Zhang Weitao ignored her advice and left behind his vice-captain and a strong team member, while he led the remaining team members to chase after Sun Yuxin and the others.
Bai Mianmian watched the group's departing figures, pondered for a moment, and then moved closer to the direction they had left in.
She didn't care about the safety of Sun Yuxin and the others, but Zhang Weitao and the others had come out with her.
I don't mean I have to protect them completely unharmed, but at least I can't let them be put in any danger.
The two who remained exchanged a glance but did not stop her.
With my sister-in-law's abilities, her presence would give everyone a sense of security no less than if they were with the boss.
When Bai Mianmian and the other two arrived, the battle had already raged on. Even Zhang Weitao and his group were each facing several enemies, and the fighting was even more intense than before.
However, even so, Bai Mianmian stopped just before being caught in the crossfire.
Seeing that the battle wouldn't end anytime soon, she flipped her hand and took out a small dish of melon seeds from her spatial storage.
She was also very generous, sharing the sunflower seeds with the two people standing next to her.
No one can resist these delicious sunflower seeds, even if the current situation isn't suitable for eating them.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." The two women smiled broadly and thanked her, their hands quickly reaching for sunflower seeds.
"You're welcome. Ask me for more when you're done eating." Bai Mianmian's smile was gentle and kind.
Just as the three of them were cracking sunflower seeds, Sun Yuxin and Guan Jiechen's figures appeared amidst a sweeping energy explosion.
Guan Jiechen held her tightly in his arms, using his back to shield her from the sweeping energy impact, preventing Sun Yuxin from being directly hit.
However, even without a direct hit, the oppressive feeling of the energy impact was still unbearable. A sharp scream instantly pierced Sun Yuxin's throat, "Ah!~"
Bao Zhiyuan, who was single-handedly stopping five superhumans, including an S-class silk thread superhuman, turned around with a drastic change in expression upon hearing the scream.
His momentary lapse in concentration gave his opponent the opportunity to severely injure him.
The S-class thread-wielding ability user suddenly crossed his arms, "Whoosh—!"
Two hair-thin threads crossed paths and rushed straight towards Bao Zhiyuan.
At the same time, the other superhumans also unleashed their strongest attacks.
By the time Bao Zhiyuan realized that several violent energies were rapidly approaching, there was no way to avoid them, and he could only hastily activate his supernatural power to protect himself.
A deliberate, all-out attack meets a hastily prepared defense.
The result was as expected: Bao Zhiyuan's defense was instantly torn apart, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing that the road ahead was clear, the group that had been intercepted by Bao Zhiyuan immediately accelerated forward, heading straight for Sun Yuxin's location. Guan Jiechen suppressed the rising blood in his throat and continued to desperately flee forward with Sun Yuxin.
He had successfully concealed himself several times, but each time the energy blasts from the side forced him to reappear suddenly. This happened repeatedly, and their whereabouts were impossible to hide. The enemy clung to them like a bloodsucking worm that they couldn't shake off.
Worse still, the distance that had been widening was rapidly closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Jiang Ci arrived, he witnessed this extremely dangerous scene.
"Lieutenant General Jiang!" Upon seeing Jiang Ci suddenly appear, Guan Jiechen's face instantly lit up with uncontrollable joy.
As the weakest of Sun Yuxin's partners, he had made a special effort to learn about Jiang Ci's practical abilities, whom his partner had mentioned wanting to recognize as her "first husband."
At this critical moment, Jiang Ci's appearance was undoubtedly a lifeline, and he truly breathed a sigh of relief.
A 3S-level ice-type ability user, recognized as the number one combat power in the entire interstellar space, this crisis is finally about to be over!
Sun Yuxin, who had her face buried tightly in Guan Jiechen's arms, suddenly raised her head when she heard him call out "General Jiang," and shouted loudly for help to Jiang Ci: "Jiang Ci! Save me!"
Jiang Ci frowned and glanced at the two of them, his cold gaze then locking onto the approaching enemy.
"Crack, crack, crack—" The crisp sound of ice condensing rang out one after another beside Jiang Ci. Dozens of ice needles formed at an extremely fast speed, gleaming with a chilling cold light and aimed at the pursuers.
Jiang Ci swiftly swung his left hand forward, and dozens of ice needles shot out instantly, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
The enemy, who was rushing towards Sun Yuxin with all their might, had no time to stop their momentum or dodge. They could only hastily activate their special abilities to protect their vitals.
But how easy is it to catch a 3S-level ice needle?
The moment they were struck by the ice needles, everyone's defenses became useless, instantly torn apart, and the ice needles pierced their bodies without any resistance.
An intense chill instantly spread from where the ice needles had pierced the skin, causing everyone's movements to stiffen to varying degrees.
The moment the ice needles shot out, Jiang Ci made a loose clenching motion in the air with his right hand.
"Crack, crack, crack..." The dense, crisp sound of ice condensing exploded again, and an ice handle rapidly formed in his palm.
Jiang Ci gripped the handle tightly with his five fingers, and the sound of ice freezing suddenly became more frequent. Then, he pounced on the enemy like an arrow released from a bow.
The next second, the crystal-clear ice sword took shape completely in his hand!
The instant the ice sword took shape, Jiang Ci flashed to the nearest enemy, raising his hand to swat the ice sword down with a "whoosh!"
The enemy was terrified by Jiang Ci's sudden approach and had no time to react. He felt his heart skip a beat and his blood turn icy cold.
When he came to his senses, Jiang Ci had already moved elsewhere, but his body was as if nailed to the ground and unable to move.
His wide eyes slowly moved to his chest, where a thick layer of ice had covered it, revealing a gruesome, frozen wound near his heart.
Bai Mianmian, who was eating sunflower seeds and "watching the show," was instantly drawn to Jiang Ci, who was diagonally opposite her.
Watching him reap the enemies one by one with his sword was truly brutal, yet it also inexplicably exuded a sharp and exhilarating feeling that made it impossible to look away.
A smile appeared in Bai Mianmian's eyes.
With Jiang Ci busy eliminating the enemy, Guan Jiechen and Sun Yuxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their figures disappeared again.
But after only a few seconds of silence, Sun Yuxin's stubborn voice suddenly came: "I won't leave."
Guan Jiechen's voice was urgent: "No, we must leave here immediately."
Just as the two were arguing, a surge of energy suddenly appeared above their heads...
