Chapter 150: Repent

“Over there! Over there!” the female Awakened yelled.

“This kid should be enough for the Ape Ghouls to play with for a long time,” the bald man said coldly with a sullen expression. Through the dense forest, they could see Jiang Xiao trying to get up.

“We’ll run past his side,” the woman said while running and extending her left arm.

On the other side, Jiang Xiao swayed unsteadily and tried to get up. Staring diagonally above, he saw the wooden sword that fell onto the ground.

All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao felt his ankle tightening up.

What’s going on?

Jiang Xiao looked down to see countless vines appearing from the ground and coiling around his ankles tightly and restricting his movement.

Jiang Xiao tried to bear with the pain and raised his leg, only to realize that he couldn’t do so at all because the more he struggled, the tighter the vines would coil around his legs.

The roar of the Ape Ghouls seemed to be getting nearer and nearer. Jiang Xiao looked over, only to see the derisive look on the bald man’s face and the icy-cold smirk of the female Awakened.

The meaning was self-evident.

The only value Jiang Xiao had left was the fact that he could stall some time for her by letting the Ape Ghouls rip him apart.

Damn it, do you think I’m an obedient kid?

Jiang Xiao waved his hand violently and a ray of Blessing fell on the woman.

“Ah~” The female Awakened suddenly stiffened and her pace began to get messy. She then staggered and fell forward.

The alluring and shrilling scream did not stop and she fell onto the ground with a loud thud.

Her speed was extremely fast and this time, she continued to glide forward on the ground.

Murder!

This is an extremely painful murder!

The female Awakened’s upper body was pressed against the ground as she glided forward with arched legs and slid forward like a scorpion.

Behind her, four or five Ape Ghouls that looked like cubs swarmed forward and seemed to be ripping her body apart.

The bloody and ruthless scene took place in front of Jiang Xiao.

“No, no… no!” the female Awakened yelled and clawed at the ground, her fingers digging into the ground as she struggled to escape.

The cold smile on her face disappeared and her eyes were full of despair as she screamed desperately and watched the figure leaving without hesitation.

Her limbs were dismembered, and while she was still screaming wildly at the very end, she used her last Star Technique.

The bald man moved his body abruptly as if he could see behind him. The vines that suddenly appeared beneath his feet did not intertwine around his ankles and instead, smacked against the ground. The female Awakened died and the vines stopped moving. Instead, they were scattered on the ground feebly, seemingly having lost their lives too.

Jiang Xiao felt his limbs turning cold.

The reality was indeed much harsher. Be it because of the death of the female Awakened or her last attack, Jiang Xiao managed to see how terrifying the world was.

How rare is it to have a good teammate?

At that last, critical moment, the bald man did not choose to save her and instead, scurried away decisively without even turning his head around. It was as if she was never his teammate.

The female Awakened’s choice was just as terrifying. She did not try to escape from the Ape Ghouls and instead, chose to restrain the bald man too, in a bid to make him die with her!

All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao realized why Second Last was so concerned about him.

Everything that happened in front of Jiang Xiao was indeed beyond his expectation.

The sword could not reach the tree, but even if it could, there was no point because the sword was made of wood.

However, Jiang Xiao had another dagger on his thigh which was extremely sharp.

Jiang Xiao drew his dagger and quickly cut the vines wrapped around his ankles. Ever since the woman was killed by the Ape Ghouls, the vines seemed to have lost their lives too. They no longer intertwined themselves tightly around objects and simply remained in their last state.

“You’re making me your bait to stall some time for you?” Jiang Xiao quickly cut the vines. Fortunately, he could move his left leg again.

Jiang Xiao waved his hand violently and cast a ray of Blessing.

While Jiang Xiao moved his arm, the bald man’s body tilted to the side violently too.

The pillar that had received a “Blessing”… actually fell?

In Jiang Xiao’s eyes, such a scene seemed to have the same impact as that of the female Awakened getting her limbs dismembered.

Blessing actually missed!?!

Ever since Jiang Xiao obtained his Star Technique Blessing, he had never once missed. All of the Blessings he cast would land accurately.

Due to the fact that Blessing was an insta-cast Star Technique, it was hard to even miss.

Well, that was, unless the enemies got ready beforehand to dodge when Jiang Xiao released his Star Technique.

Clearly, the bald man had done that!

He didn’t want to be healed!

Jiang Xiao refused to resign to fate and decided to give another try.

Have some~

Just a little…

Whoosh!

Another ray of light landed on the empty ground and the bald man managed to dodge once again!

He didn’t want to!

The bald man was an adult who didn’t need healing!

The bald man didn’t give in either and condensed a fireball in his hand, after which he tossed it at Jiang Xiao.

—Silver Quality Star Technique, Bursting Flames!

Although the bald man was a melee Awakened, he had probably accidentally acquired Bursting Flames before acquiring Burning Flame, just like Xia Yan.

On top of that, the bald man also suddenly altered his route and dashed towards Jiang Xiao!

Compared to Blessing which would be launched instantaneously, Bursting Flames could be evaded more easily.

Jiang Xiao frantically turned to the side and the fireball brushed past his body.

There was no time!

A bunch of Ape Ghouls split the corpse of the female Awakened amongst themselves while another bunch of Ape Ghouls surged forward. The bald man was right in front of him!

Jiang Xiao stomped his feet and a huge pit formed in the ground immediately, after which the broken pieces of soil darted everywhere together with Star Power.

Jiang Xiao leaped towards the left in an instant.

The bald man couldn’t be bothered by the fact that he had missed because, regardless of whether he missed or not, he would flee quickly. He merely wanted to give Jiang Xiao a hard punch along the way.

The bald man wanted Jiang Xiao to get killed by the Ape Ghouls deep down, but before then, he wanted to teach Jiang Xiao a lesson.

That was also the reason Jiang Xiao managed to grasp the opportunity.

The bald man raised his fist and dashed forward before suddenly getting lifted off the ground. He couldn’t move at all!

Teach me a lesson?

You’re a dimwit!

Can’t you just stay in line and run over?

Jiang Xiao waved his hands again and the bald man was finally shrouded in a sacred light.

This toxic healing potion must be downed by you!

I’m going to force it down your throat!

Ingest it!

The bald man was stunned and his body quaked a little, while the thrill that came all of a sudden within him made it impossible for him to restrain himself.

With shifty feet, the bald man swayed rapidly and unsteadily in the air, unable to regain his balance at all.

Yet another murder!

However, the bald man was moving rapidly. That was understandable. After all… he was much aerodynamical…

At this moment, Jiang Xiao had also swiftly cut off the vines intertwined around his ankles. He then cast another Blessing on the bald man.

Are you going to take it or not?

If not, I’ll make you chug it!

Jiang Xiao picked up the giant sword that had landed on the ground and swiftly flew over!

He turned around and whipped out… uh, cast a Blessing!

While Jiang Xiao sprinted, he did not forget to give the bald man another Blessing.

While Jiang Xiao gave the Blessing, the bald man got up with shaky limbs while cussing his heart out. “Little… rascal… F… F*ck you…”

At the next moment, a bunch of Ape Ghouls swarmed forth and engulfed him.

“Screw you, bald man! Why have you got such a foul mouth? I’m being generous enough today. Let me continue giving you Blessings,” Jiang Xiao said while flying forward.

While he spoke, he cast another Blessing…

Unfortunately, the Blessing landed on the pile of Ape Ghouls. Jiang Xiao had no idea if it would reach the bald man.

Sigh.

Indeed, life is hard.

My Blessing is the only fragrant thing that can bless everyone in this world.

Try it if you don’t believe me.

While the Ape Ghouls were tearing him apart, the bald man had already stopped to repent.
