Chapter 842 - 847
Chapter 842: Chapter 847
As soon as Lin Xi and the others appeared, the four people noticed first, followed by the Third and Fourth Elders.
But Shangguan Nishang was the last to realize, still not daring to believe, feeling it was an illusion. After all, she had just mentioned him, and he appeared! This was too uncanny!
When Lin Xi and the two others got within five or six meters, they stopped. It was only then that she confirmed it truly was Lin Xi, and this was no dream.
Clearly, those four knew how formidable Lin Xi was, so they immediately halted, fearing a surprise attack from behind.
At this moment, the middle-aged man leading them looked displeased and said coldly to Lin Xi, "Are you planning to interfere?"
The other three glanced at the two women, seemingly weighing their options!
However, Lin Xi acted as though he hadn’t heard, turning to Shangguan Nishang and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Shangguan Nishang nodded, indicating she was fine!
At this moment, her heart was extremely conflicted, wanting Lin Xi to act yet at the same time not.
After all, he had two women beside him, who, compared to the Peak Soldier Kings, were of no combat strength.
Furthermore, behind those four stood an Innate powerhouse.
No matter how strong Lin Xi was, could he rival an Innate powerhouse?
That was simply impossible!
But Lin Xi saw her nod and didn’t give her a chance to speak further, saying directly, "Come over here to me!"
Hearing this, the Third and Fourth Elders were overjoyed!
They had just been thinking that perhaps Lin Xi wouldn’t dare to act, as these were four Peak Soldier Kings, and they had an Innate powerhouse backing them, who could show up at any time.
So, does he not understand the situation?
But regardless of whether he did or not, as long as the miss had a chance to escape, it didn’t matter to them.
The man leading the four had a very grim expression, suppressing his anger, "Kid, don’t think that just because you killed a Howard you’re someone important and can look down on others?"
"Let me tell you, for each of us, defeating Howard isn’t a problem!"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere fell silent.
Lin Xi looked at him and coldly retorted, "Defeating him is easy, but can you kill him?"
The four were instantly speechless!
To kill someone of the same level, even if they were slightly weaker, is extremely difficult one-on-one.
So Lin Xi was right; defeating might be easier, but none of them could individually kill the opponent.
After all, if someone wants to escape, there’s no way you can stop them.
After a brief silence, the man coldly said, "If you choose to interfere, you’re making enemies with us!"
"We don’t want unnecessary trouble, so I’m telling you again, if you leave now, we’ll pretend this incident never happened. If you stay or interfere, don’t blame us for being rude!"
"You should know, our Elders can arrive at any moment!"
"By then, there will be no escape for you!"
"Heh!" Lin Xi sneered, "If he doesn’t come to me, I’ll go find him!"
"So right now, you’re just an eyesore, why not just die!"
In an instant, Lin Xi vanished from where he stood, and the four, seeing this, were suddenly on high alert. The Third and Fourth Elders were delighted and immediately attacked the four.
However, before they could act, one person was already lying in front of them!
It was the man who had just been speaking!
At this moment, his chest was deeply sunken, and he was dead!
Then there were three more thuds, and the other three men, like him, had their chests sunken in and were also dead.
Their faces bore expressions of shock, as if completely unexpecting to be killed with a single punch!
Even an Innate powerhouse couldn’t do it so easily!
The Third and Fourth Elders stared at Lin Xi, who was now close, feeling a chill run through them despite knowing he wasn’t an enemy!
Is this guy even human?
Was he hiding his strength outside the ancient mine?
Did he fearlessly stand before the girl officer and block that Daoist robed elder because he wasn’t afraid at all?
Realizing this now, they suddenly felt that their Eldest and Second Brothers had a chance!
So the Third Elder, somewhat oblivious, interrupted the eye contact between Lin Xi and Shangguan Nishang, saying, "Brother Lin, could you help save our Eldest and Second Brothers?"
The Fourth Elder quickly nodded beside him, his face pleading.
Shangguan Nishang’s charming face blushed, remembering the situation, explaining, "Just now, the Grand and Second Elders stayed behind to hold off that group of Daoist robed elders so we could escape."
"It’s not far from here!"
However, suddenly a hesitation flashed across her face, "Maybe we should forget it, they have so many powerful warriors, and there’s an Innate powerhouse too!"
The Third and Fourth Elders remained silent; ultimately, this decision depended on Lin Xi, and they also wanted to know if Lin Xi was truly an Innate powerhouse.
If he was, then there was a real chance.
Zhou Yan and Avril Jolie now came over.
Zhou Yan, in particular, rolled her eyes at Lin Xi unnoticed by anyone else.
This scoundrel, no wonder he could capture the hearts of the ladies. It turns out, at moments when they’re helpless or in despair, he always extended a timely helping hand and reversed the situation.
She confidently reassured Shangguan Nishang, "Don’t worry, Lin Xi will help you rescue them!"
Shangguan Nishang glanced at Zhou Yan, then at Avril Jolie, realizing neither seemed worried at all.
Could it be they hadn’t heard her comment just now?
Evidently not!
So, does that mean Lin Xi really has the power to rescue them?
Considering this, she looked again at Lin Xi, who appeared to understand her meaning and nodded, "Lead the way!"
Shangguan Nishang, not someone prone to hesitation, immediately made up her mind, leading Lin Xi, the two women, and the Second and Third Elders. Together, six of them hurriedly made their way to where the Grand and Second Elders were.
In less than two minutes, the six arrived at the spot where the Grand and Second Elders were.
There was also a Daoist robed elder and seven men aged over forty, with the oldest around sixty.
The common trait among them was their formidable strength.
Three Peak Soldier Kings, two Advanced Soldier Kings, and two Junior Soldier Kings.
The Daoist robed elder was said to be an Innate powerhouse.
Before Shangguan Nishang and the group even arrived, the people there noticed them.
Especially the Grand and Second Elders, lying on the ground at death’s door. Seeing Shangguan Nishang’s group return plunged them into despair. Didn’t we tell you to go?
Of course, they noticed Lin Xi too!
But felt it was of no use!
In their eyes, Lin Xi was at most a Peak Soldier King.
What use was that kind of strength?
The faces of the Daoist robed elder and others were perplexed, "Where are the four they just sent out?"
"Could they have failed to catch up?"
"Or perhaps, lost them?"
Thinking this, the Daoist elder couldn’t help but curse, "A bunch of useless fools!"
Then, without much more, he instructed the seven behind him, "Kill everyone except for the Shangguan woman!"
