Chapter 144: Unwelcome Guests Come Knocking, Absolutely Impossible! (Seeking further reads)

The Fire Glazed Guild’s base was still shrouded in black mist.

The area was currently illuminated by car headlights.

The dim light outlined Ke Xueying’s slender yet upright figure.

Her face was sallow and weary from her unhealed severe injuries, her lips almost devoid of color, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were matted to her pale skin by fine cold sweat.

She seemed to be enduring immense discomfort, her fingers gripping the doorframe turning white from the effort, her chest rising and falling more dramatically than usual, each breath carrying an almost imperceptible heaviness.

Despite her best efforts to straighten her back, the inherent resilience emanating from her was still clearly discernible.

But her tightly pressed lips and slightly furrowed brow revealed the enormous burden of her forced composure.

That day, she had first risked severe injury to block the Frost Centipede’s attack, then fiercely battled the Night Demon, and finally endured the Sonic Worm’s sonic assault.

Her internal organs and meridians had been invaded by icy energy and ravaged by sound waves.

Although she had recovered somewhat by absorbing a third-tier crystal at the time, she found upon her return that her injuries could not heal in a short period.

Unless there was some miraculous elixir.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would have long since led her people to the Overlord Alliance to kill Di Jiani, that bitch, and avenge her deceased teammates.

Seeing Ke Xueying appear, Di Jiani’s sharp smile froze for a moment, then transformed into an even deeper sense of triumph and contempt.

She scrutinized Ke Xueying from head to toe as if she were a fragile item:

“Oh my, isn’t this our famous Guild Leader Ke? What’s wrong, finally willing to come out and get some sun?”

Her voice was deliberately raised, full of schadenfreude.

“I thought our renowned ice beauty and strong woman from Kyoto Base was so formidable, but it turns out she can’t even handle a second-tier Night Demon? Hiding like a coward after such a minor injury? It’s truly… an eye-opener! Hahahaha!”

She hadn’t seen Ke Xueying suffer the Sonic Worm’s attack, so she just assumed she had been injured by the Night Demon.

The surrounding Overlord Alliance members let out malicious laughter and whistles.

Ke Xueying didn't look at Di Jiani, her icy gaze sweeping past the laughing faces and landing precisely on the silent figure at the back of the crowd.

That person sat on the roof of an SUV, wearing a black leather jacket, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, his hands in his pockets, and his eyes as cold and sinister as a viper.

This person was the true decision-maker of the Overlord Alliance, the newly advanced fourth-tier strength-type ability user, Di Jiani’s reliance, Huang Batian.

“Huang Batian,”

Her voice was slightly hoarse from weakness, yet it carried an undeniable cold firmness.

“Take your people and get out. Otherwise, even if I die here today, I’ll take you with me.”

Her body swayed slightly, and her hand on the doorframe tightened a bit more.

“How dare you threaten my man?!” Di Jiani shrieked, cutting her off, “Ke Xueying, what are you pretending? Can you even stand steady right now?!”

Ke Xueying took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging metallic taste in her throat:

“Killing you, I can certainly do.”

“You try it!”

Di Jiani stared intently at her, saying provocatively.

As she spoke, her figure retreated two steps.

“Attack!”

She suddenly waved her hand.

Several burly men from the Overlord Alliance received the signal, closing in on the Fire Glazed girls surrounding Ke Xueying and Sister Lin with leering smiles, their crude language mixed with obscene jokes.

“Stop!”

Ke Xueying’s sharp cry was already tinged with a tremor of anger and anxiety.

Seeing a thick hand about to grab Xiao Yun’s collar, the last shred of her patience completely shattered.

Her body seemed to move faster than her will.

“Buzz—!”

A sonic wave suddenly burst forth!

The sonic wave transformed into a sharp blade, viciously striking the perverted hand reaching for Xiao Yun.

“Crack!”

A bone-chilling snap!

The burly man hadn't expected the severely injured Ke Xueying to dare to attack, nor for her attack to be so swift!

He screamed, his wrist twisted at an unnatural angle, clearly, the bone had been cleanly severed by the ability!

He collapsed backward, screaming.

This strike was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg!

“Damn it! That bitch really dared to attack?!”

Di Jiani shrieked, both shocked and furious.

“Lord Huang! She attacked our people!”

Almost simultaneously with Di Jiani’s shout, Huang Batian, who had been observing with folded arms as if it had nothing to do with him, moved.

His hands, previously in his pockets, shot out like lightning, without any fancy opening moves, simply clenching his right fist in an extremely crude manner, a yellowish-brown light instantly enveloping his entire arm, even faintly revealing a metallic sheen.

The ground beneath his feet silently cracked into a spiderweb of tiny fissures.

A low roar, purely caused by air compressed by terrifying force.

That fist, brimming with destructive power, carried a suffocating sense of oppression, striking directly at Ke Xueying’s wide-open chest, exposed from her forced attack, without any embellishment!

Ke Xueying’s face instantly changed from sallow to ashen white.

She could clearly feel the terrifying wind pressure from that punch, like a physical wall crushing down, stinging her cheeks.

The forced activation of her ability to suppress Di Jiani’s subordinates had already caused the unhealed internal organs to ache like a surging tide, and the sweet metallic taste in her throat could no longer be suppressed, trickling out from the corners of her mouth.

She couldn’t dodge! Her body felt as if it were nailed to the spot by an immense force!

Just then, suddenly, a flame, carried by a strong wind, rushed from above the black mist towards Huang Batian.

‘Boom!’

Huang Batian could only turn to resist, and this forced him to retreat.

After he stabilized, he was startled to find two circling parrots, one on each side behind Ke Xueying.

Their aura had already reached the third tier.

His pupils suddenly constricted.

“You actually enslaved two third-tier mutated beasts? You have a Beast Taming Ring? Are you connected to the officials?”

As the leader of a major power, he knew some information.

Among it was information about the Beast Taming Ring.

This item was only produced in one place, which was the Jinge Building in Canglan City, by that legendary, invincible strong person.

The officials could only purchase it from him, and each Beast Taming Ring was used under supervision.

None would be leaked.

Only that strong person’s subordinates and official personnel could possess this item.

Huang Batian’s words made Ke Xueying momentarily stunned.

She hadn't thought about that.

She was also quite surprised by the sudden appearance of these two parrots.

Last time, after they escorted her back, they flew away, and she had thought these two guys had returned to their original owner.

Now that they suddenly appeared so timely, they must have been nearby all along.

Why would someone use two precious third-tier mutated beasts to protect her?

Before Ke Xueying could respond, a squad of soldiers suddenly rushed over, surrounding everyone.

An officer came before Ke Xueying and said:

“Miss Ke, do you need help?”

This scene stunned everyone, including Ke Xueying herself.

“I don’t know you. Why are you here for me? Did someone send you?”

Ji Ziheng replied:

“Mr. Lu asked us to look after you.”

“If you need any help, you can always find us.”

Upon hearing the three words ‘Mr. Lu’, everyone’s expressions changed.

Di Jiani even shrieked:

“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!”
