Chapter 75: Crisis!
As Su Jiu uttered a word, the surrounding aura seemed to seize up, and the smile on the young man’s face froze instantly.
He slowly raised his head to look at the small face filled with disdain, pointing at the circle of people with a hint of surprise, and asked, “Don’t tell me you want to become the Master’s sacrifice like them?”
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly bent over, tilted his head, widened his eyes, and whispered in a frenzied tone, “I get it, you want the Divine Servants to help you—hehehehe.”
This was followed by a low and eerie laugh.
As he spoke, the students, like walking dead, as if to confirm their master, roared like beasts, regardless of gender, and their steps quickened as they surrounded them.
Ignoring him, Su Jiu scanned her surroundings. These Divine Servants were approaching like zombies, sending chills down her spine. Moreover, familiar with the novel’s content, she knew one thing…
These Divine Servants, who had absorbed the blessings, not only acted like zombies, but they also possessed an ability similar to zombies.
“Stay close to me and protect yourselves.”
Then, Su Jiu said softly before raising her gourd and rushing forward, her clothes fluttering. Bai Qianyu, without asking further questions, followed closely behind like a shadow.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
In just three breaths, Su Jiu reached the two closest Divine Servants, jumped up, and elbowed one of them in the head. Then she flipped and used the momentum to strike another Divine Servant beside her. It actually made a sound like metal being struck.
The Divine Servant who was elbowed toppled to the side, while the other one’s head was caved in by the jade gourd, its eyes bulging. It then became immobile as if it had jammed.
Bai Qianyu, following closely behind, felt the back in front of her was incredibly powerful, giving her a strange sense of security.
After the two Divine Servants became immobile, a breakthrough was created in the middle. One could see the more than a dozen people in the circle, and they were also beginning to fight back against the Divine Servants.
“You go and join them first, I’ll hold them off.”
Su Jiu showed no surprise, quickly put away the jade gourd, glanced at the few Divine Servants who were still pouncing, and said with a serious expression.
“Sister Jiu…”
Bai Qianyu looked puzzled. With the combat power Su Jiu had displayed, these Divine Servants, even if a few attacked together, would not be her match.
“Go quickly! As long as the divine descent is present, they are immortal and… they have combat awareness!”
After saying this, she took a deep breath, and a chill spread outwards from her feet. The dragon whiskers on her cheeks flared out to both sides, and she slowly chanted in her heart, “E Huo.”
“You have to be careful!”
Without any hesitation, Bai Qianyu’s claws slid across a Divine Servant that was about to pounce, leaving a metallic scratch on its face, but thankfully, it was successfully repelled.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon.”
Seeing Bai Qianyu leave, Su Jiu’s gaze swept over the two Divine Servants who had just been knocked away. As Su Jiu had said, they stumbled to their feet, and their bodies were actually surging with the light of bloodline transformation.
The Divine Servant whose head was caved in was even more outrageous. A faint mist had already appeared beside him, and a salty, damp smell wafted out. He stared intently at Su Jiu’s face, emitting strange byte-like sounds: “All… trash… Su…”
It seemed to be some kind of obsession of his.
“Bang!”
“Jiu” did not come out. A blue stream of light flashed past. Su Jiu lowered her body and kicked it away like a cannonball with a horizontal kick, repelling the Divine Servants who were continuing to surround her. Seeing that E Huo did not react, Su Jiu curiously pulled up her sleeve.
Damn! Why is it so slow?
E Huo crawled on her arm, slowly raising its head as if it had just woken up. Its eyes were half-closed, and it lazily flicked its tongue.
“Hmm~ Is it morning already?”
Su Jiu: …
“Bang!”
Immediately, she used her fist to repel the Divine Servant who was sneak attacking from behind, hitting it directly in the face, and rolled her eyes, saying, “If you don’t turn into a sword soon, and I die later, you won’t have Tangtang to eat.”
E Huo: !!!
As she spoke, the Divine Servants who had been repelled surged forward again, surrounding Su Jiu’s petite figure. Even the salty and damp Divine Servant who had been kicked flying lunged forward. His throat bulged, and his yellowish eyes were filled with longing: “Meat—just… a bite is fine!”
“People as dazzling as you are what they most want to taste.”
The young man watched Su Jiu’s performance with great interest. He was like a true angel, leaning in mid-air, tilting his head and observing the futile struggles of mortals.
He glanced at the Vortex beside him and scoffed contemptuously.
“However, I won’t let you die so quickly. Geniuses like you are the Master’s favorite flavor. Do they deserve to eat it?”
…
Bai Qianyu arrived at the crowd and found that the situation here was not as good as she had imagined. Everyone was entangled by Divine Servants, and even with two against one, they had no advantage. Instead, various wounds appeared on their bodies.
If it weren’t for the referee, an Initial Stage Battle General, holding off three to four Divine Servants alone, the front line might have collapsed long ago.
She could only relieve their pressure, as for Sister Jiu…
Lost in thought, Bai Qianyu immediately took action to repel a Divine Servant for a girl. The girl looked at her gratefully and wanted to say something.
Bai Qianyu just nodded slightly and joined the battle, helping them spread the pressure as much as possible as if she were a hunter in the shadows, occasionally repelling the immortal Divine Servants.
“Sizzle!”
The students who had been hostile to her before now looked at her with gratitude. As their eyes met, she repelled the Divine Servant behind them again, her claws scratching the Divine Servant’s clothes with a metallic friction sound.
Perhaps in the face of a great cause, the friction between schools seemed somewhat ridiculous.
Figures clashed, sparks flew, and the sound of blades cutting through metal was incessant. However, fortunately, they were all top high school students from the two cities, and they were only slightly injured.
But they couldn’t last long in this kind of battle – these Divine Servants were simply impossible to kill.
“Keep them occupied for me!” a hoarse voice rang out.
It was Li Yi from before. He was riding on a huge Scarlet Flame Giant Tiger, which roared and thrashed, charging into a pile of three to four Divine Servants, intending to use its massive body to share the damage for everyone.
His face was pale as he looked around, shouting at the people not far from him, “She helped us disperse nearly ten Divine Servants, hold on! My grandpa and the others will come to reinforce you!”
After saying this, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth again. His gaze fell on Su Jiu, who was already surrounded by a swarm of Divine Servants in the distance. His fists clenched slightly, but he could only exhale heavily.
Don’t fall!
Damn it, where’s your fighting spirit?! Get up!
If Su Jiu fell, they would probably be quickly devoured by the Divine Servants, and besides… he looked helplessly at the young man in the sky. The faint smile on the young man’s face made them doubt…
Could they really be saved?
