Chapter 38

Li Yao's thoughts were a bit chaotic.

He sorted through them. Among the people around him, his best buddy had transmigrated and even contacted him via phone. His buddy's sister had abnormally good luck, and even Shuisheng Ge, who seemed like the most normal person in their dorm, was abnormal too… Li Yao fell into deep thought. Was this world even normal anymore?

It was simply too crazy! Could it be that Cao Rui and Chen Tao were also hiding huge secrets?

Uh…

Impossible.

Cao Rui was just a not-ugly, goofy rich second-generation guy. If he was abnormal too… then he'd let Lin Xiaoxi livestream eating sh*t! Li Yao was quietly contemplating life when Lin Xiaoxi suddenly grabbed his arm, pinching him painfully. "Someone's injured!" Li Yao looked up and saw Zhao Shuisheng, wearing the Ox-Demon Mask, stagger as his mask was slashed open, the spurting blood appearing especially crimson in the grayish-white mist.

God damn it! This was intolerable!

He'd slept alongside Shuisheng Ge for three years, after all. How dare you hit my guy?

Li Yao took out a water bottle from his backpack and handed it to Lin Xiaoxi. "Thirsty?"

Lin Xiaoxi was surprised. "You actually carry a water bottle with you? Do you have any food? I'm a little hungry."

Li Yao, with a wooden face, took out a small cake from his backpack and handed it to Lin Xiaoxi. Only this girl could eat and drink so carefree in this kind of environment. Lin Xiaoxi ate bread and drank water while watching the show. She was hoping the masked people would win because she inexplicably felt a sense of goodwill toward them. That way, when the masked people won, she could go over and interview them.

I'm so pretty, they definitely won't refuse me.

Lin Xiaoxi thought happily, then felt her eyelids getting heavy. "Why am I so sleepy?"

Li Yao said, "You must be exhausted from being so busy these past few days."

Lin Xiaoxi giggled. "(▽`) Yeah, I can't… I'm too sleepy. I'm gonna, gonna sleep for a while… Zzz… Zzz…"

Under the effects of the sleeping drug, Lin Xiaoxi fell asleep almost instantly.

Li Yao shook his head. What a silly girl! Li Yao nudged Lin Xiaoxi to make sure she was asleep, then looked toward the battlefield, his eyes gradually turning grim. He took out another bottle of water from his Spatial Ring, and the Frost Death's Wrath was constructed and injected into the water. The Frost Death's Wrath's spell field already had shaping abilities, and the water in the bottle was drawn out and shaped into an ice pick the length of a forearm.

Then Li Yao constructed the Mage Hand circuit, and the ice pick began to spin rapidly in mid-air—

Increase mental power output! Accelerate movement! Fire!

Li Yao stared at the Onmyoji hiding behind the crowd, constantly summoning ghosts and monsters. With his mental lock-on, the ice pick emitted a shrill whistle as it pierced through the air. "See if I don't skewer you to death!"

The fully operational Mage Hand unleashed tremendous kinetic energy, and the whistling of the ice pick piercing the air alerted the Onmyoji. He suddenly looked in Li Yao's direction and saw the rapidly approaching ice pick. The Onmyoji waved his hand, and layers of mist gathered in front of him to form a shield… The Onmyoji was furious. Who the hell is ambushing me! Good thing I'm quick-witted!

Then he watched as the ice pick playfully made a turn and flew into the sky…

Onmyoji: "???"

Li Yao sneered. Didn't expect that, did you? I can make it turn! But the next moment!

The Onmyoji suddenly looked up. They dare to ambush me again! After leaping into the sky, the ice pick fell again. The speed applied by the Mage Hand, combined with gravitational acceleration, pushed the kinetic energy carried by the ice pick to a new height—this strike was enough to be fatal!

The Onmyoji cast a spell again, and the mist surged!

However, the masked man also noticed the change in the situation and coordinated to deliver a god-like assist!

The Ox Warrior swung his iron rod and charged, using several wounds to open a path through the teammates behind him. The White Fox jumped out and flung out streams of white fire, entangling the Onmyoji. The Copper Dragon Warrior opened the large black umbrella in his hand, blocking attacks from all directions, while the Kings leaped into the air, wielding their swords together, piercing the Onmyoji's defenses above, then turning their sword tips to stab the Onmyoji!

"Pfft!"

The ice pick fell, its tip piercing the Onmyoji's forehead!

The frost and Necromantic Power within instantly erupted, annihilating all of the Onmyoji's vitality, while the Kings' swords also pierced the Onmyoji's body.

The Onmyoji, who had been in an invincible position, instantly fell.

The Copper Dragon Warrior put away his defensive stance and charged into the Black-Clothed Men, slaughtering them in all directions. The little fox returned to the Ox Warrior's side, vigilantly staring in Li Yao's direction, while the Kings, while annihilating the Black-Clothed Men, also stared in this direction… In an instant, Li Yao felt immense pressure.

Damn it,

Why are they all staring at me!

These Black-Clothed Men seemed to only have the Onmyoji as their most powerful member. After the Onmyoji died, they couldn't even organize a decent counterattack. The surrounding thick fog was also gradually dissipating. In just a few minutes, the remaining Black-Clothed Men were wiped out.

The thick fog dissipated, and the battlefield was a bloody mess.

Amidst the corpses scattered everywhere, the Copper Dragon Warrior looked in Li Yao's direction. "Friend, care to come out and meet us?"

Li Yao pursed his lips.

Meeting? Nah, I'm good.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be awkward to just stare at Shuisheng Ge? Li Yao planned to sneak away, but the five people opposite had locked their Qi on him. Their Qi was alert and sensitive, as if any slight movement from Li Yao would trigger an attack! This was troublesome.

Li Yao was a Mage... His mental strength had been tempered over this period and his cultivation was not bad, but his physical fitness was lacking. Even with daily Vitality Potions, his physical fitness was only slightly better than an ordinary person. As for those warriors wearing masks... Li Yao had just seen them, each with wind in their fists and feet, powerful and heavy, their physical fitness was on a completely different level! He couldn't run away.

Li Yao took out a black mask from his backpack and put it on, then calmly stepped forward: "You won't let me leave?"

The Copper Dragon Warrior asked, "May I ask for your name?"

Li Yao pondered for two seconds and said, "Guess?"

The Copper Dragon Mask almost pissed himself. What the hell was that attitude! Why make people guess! Guess if I'll guess!

He took a step forward and said solemnly, "How about you just tell us yourself."

Frost Death's Wrath was quickly constructed, the magical force field spread out, the deadly cold power mixed with Necromantic Power lingered and diffused, like a viper ready to strike. Li Yao pointed at the Copper Dragon and said, "Tell me, do you want to hit me?"

The Copper Dragon Warrior: "..."

Negative emotions from the masked man +666...

Why did he start fighting without a word? The Copper Dragon Warrior put away his big black umbrella and said, "I see, we have no malice. We're in charge of the Provincial Capital area, and we haven't seen you before, so we asked a few more questions. You're welcome to visit the Midnight Bar on Drum Tower Road when you have time."

Li Yao thoughtfully asked, "Is the drinks free?"

The masked man: "..."

Li Yao curled his lips,

If it's not free, forget it, I have money!

Li Yao carried Lin Xiaoxi away.

It wasn't until he went down the mountain that he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief—

Whoa! Run after acting tough, so exciting!

On the battlefield, Shuisheng Ge took off his mask, thoughtfully: "I always feel like, I'm familiar with that person just now."

The Little King of The Kings said, "There's still time to chase him now."

Today... three updates! My hands are shaking as I type this. Asking for rewards
