Chapter 231 - Clairvoyant Jiang
Chapter 231: Clairvoyant Jiang
At this moment, Xia Yan was half-kneeling on Jiang Xiao’s left checking Yan Zebin’s injury.
The familiar voice that was mixed with a tinge of hopeless sobbing actually came from Jiang Xiao’s right side.
It was just a few steps away from him, but the point was, there was no one there at all.
However, Jiang Xiao realized that at some point in the future, he would encounter a mishap there!
Besides, he would very likely get into a serious incident. Otherwise, Xia Yan wouldn’t have sobbed in such a miserable manner. To Jiang Xiao, Xia Yan was not a feeble girl. Even if she had gotten stabbed, she wouldn’t cry in such a manner.
How did Jiang Xiao know? Because Jiang Xiao had carved her with a knife before.
Okay.
He didn’t carve the words, “a trip here”, but of course, it wasn’t that much better. He carved… “not the place for a long stay!”
Jiang Xiao thought to himself that the matter was just too peculiar.
The problem had also arisen. Could the future really be changed?
Knowing that he might meet with a mishap, Jiang Xiao remained silent for a while and then proceeded to tell them to go downstairs. Jiang Xiao grabbed Yan Zebin’s wrist and turned over, not planning to continue wasting time with them.
The portal on the first floor was right below Jiang Xiao and he planned to go out immediately and see if he could save the people from the Victors Legion.
To his surprise, as soon as Jiang Xiao turned over and jumped down the corridor, he was smacked upwards by a huge palm.
The situation outside the portal on the first floor was too chaotic and all of the awakened stone sculptures had rushed there because it was the only light source in the Dimensional Space. Without the Victors Legion and the Star Warriors Armed Police Force, the stone sculptures would have surged to Earth in large batches.
Plans could never keep up with changes. On the ever-changing battlefield, Jiang Xiao was grabbed and thrust upwards by a thick and strong arm. He loosened his grip and lost the injured member of the Victors Legion while being pushed up too.
Jiang Xiao was just like a cannonball that was moved upwards diagonally with a loud bang and then slammed against the top of the corridor of the second floor and the bottom of the corridor on the third floor.
Jiang Xiao landed with a loud thud.
“Xiaopi!?” Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan were the first ones to land and they wanted to make way for him, the great healer. However, they heard the distressing loud thud.
If this was a computer game, Han Jiangxue would have probably received the message, “Jiang Xiaopi from Jiangbin High School has disconnected.”
Han Jiangxue blew Xia Yan up while resisting the surrounding stone monsters.
In the complicated and chaotic battlefield, Xia Yan, the melee fighter, really had an advantage over Han Jiangxue. Han Jiangxue’s mind was clear and she planned to push Xia Yan to try to save Jiang Xiao. As a result… as soon as Xia Yan leaped up, her heart wrenched up. She saw Jiang Xiao’s bleeding head and his body that was curled up in the corner.
Xia Yan scurried over and picked Jiang Xiao up, but he did not respond at all.
Xia Yan covered his bleeding head with one hand and felt flustered and anxious to the extent of almost breaking down into tears. “No, Xiaopi, don’t, wake up…”
“Ah…” Jiang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Due to the fact that he had breathed too hard, Jiang Xiao began coughing uncontrollably and his entire body was already drenched in a cold sweat. He suddenly discovered that the world had changed…
Where am I?
Central Street? The apparel store?
Why am I still in the store?
Right in front of him was the Star Warriors Armed policeman who had plunged half of his body into the glass display.
He heard two familiar voices coming from the sides.
A rather eager Xia Yan looked at Han Jiangxue and asked, “Xuexue?”
Jiang Xiao’s breathing ceased for a moment, and when he was feeling bewildered, he heard Han Jiangxue’s familiar response, “Xiaopi, heal him. Let’s go out and take a look.”
Jiang Xiao looked at the unconscious policeman in front of him and suddenly realized what happened. He suddenly raised his head and heard the sounds of cows mooing in an angst manner almost at the same time.
An extremely ugly creature with two horns on its head, which had pierced through a corpse that was bleeding profusely and splattering blood everywhere, was bulldozing unrestrainedly on Central Street and surging forwards.
The entire street was in chaos as people screamed, cried, and shrieked in a frenzy. It was just like purgatory on earth.
Jiang Xiao swallowed his saliva and stared at the scene that was similar to the one before. Han Jiangxue curled her fingers and a hideous monster with stone-like skin was directly propelled into the sky by the Barren Wind.
Jian Xiao suddenly said, “Xuexue, did you bring the sword? Xiaopi’s one works too. Hurry and give me the sword.”
Almost at the same time, Xia Yan said, “Xuexue, did you bring the sword? Xiaopi’s one works too. Hurry and give me the sword.”
Xia Yan’s voice seemed to have become softer as she looked at Jiang Xiao in disbelief.
Their voices coincided and Xia Yan was dumbfounded. So was Han Jiangxue.
???
What’s going on?
Did this kid secretly acquire another Star Technique? Is it a mind-reading one this time?
“Sword!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed.
Han Jiangxue asked, “What?”
“Give the sword to me,” Jiang Xiao said as he kicked the glass shard from the broken glass display and stepped out.
Han Jiangxue frowned and hesitated, but nonetheless took out a giant steel sword from Sky Smasher and threw it to him.
No matter what happened to Jiang Xiao just now, he chose to step into the battlefield, so it was absolutely correct to give him the sword to defend himself.
However, Han Jiangxue did not feel that Jiang Xiao’s choice was sensible. She thought about it and felt that they should observe the situation and not put on a brave front. It would be best to cooperate with the local Star Warriors Armed Police Force and the Victors Legion.
“Xia Yan, go guard him.” Han Jiangxue threw the wooden giant sword to Xia Yan and continued, “Something’s wrong with Xiaopi.”
Of course, Xia Yan had discovered that there was something amiss with Jiang Xiao because he actually threw the roasted sweet potato away. Uh… wrong, he actually said the same words as her just now!
Besides, Jiang Xiao was obviously shocked and had broken out into cold sweat. He didn’t look like a person who had the courage to step into the battlefield. Instead, he looked like someone trying to escape.
What’s going on?
“Xiaopi, what happened?” Xia Yan rushed out and asked concernedly.
Jiang Xiao answered mindlessly, “You talk too much, shut up.”
Xia Yan was dumbfounded.
“Are you rebelling?”
How dare you yell at me. Are you sick of living!?!
While carrying the giant wooden sword, Xia Yan dashed towards Jiang Xiao, only to feel like there was a commotion around her. She looked to the street on the right, only to see a savior!
The people from the Victors Legion are here!
The one in front was a long-haired and domineering-looking man with a spear and a look of determination on his face.
His ponytail was silky smooth and swinging together with his fast-moving figure. He was wearing a yellow and gray camouflage combat uniform that was unique to the Victors Legion.
Xia Yan was initially overjoyed because she thought that there was finally hope for them. However, she discovered that Jiang Xiao seemed to have the same target as the man with the spear. They were both targeting the stone sculptures falling from the sky.
Xia Yan panicked, but it was a taboo to disturb the regular military operations. It was more than just committing the crime of obstructing official duties!
Xia Yan stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xiao’s shoulder. “Come back, Xiaopi, don’t intervene with the Victors Legion!”
However, Jiang Xiao lifted the sword behind. He wasn’t fast, but it was enough for Xia Yan to react and resist.
Xia Yan raised the sword that was covered in Green Glow to protect herself before sliding backward by more than eight meters.
Jiang Xiao yelled without turning back, “Find the stone sculpture with the darkest gray skin.”
Stone sculpture?
Xia Yan was filled with anger, but she had nowhere to vent it. However, she saw Jiang Xiao dashing towards the Victors Legion!
Oh, dear!
Xia Yan gave up. You damned rascal. Are you looking for free food and lodging on New Year’s Eve and plan to go to jail?
If you smoke a cigarette on the high-speed rail, you will be fined 2,000 yuan and be detained for five to ten days, but you’d at least be released after. However, you’re now still a student who has yet to graduate. The use of Star Techniques will have to be rigorously reviewed. How dare you interfere with Victors Legion?
Yes, I know you are kind, but do they want your help?
Having good intentions alone is not enough. What if you end up ruining things… eh?
Xia Yan looked stunned for a while, and so was the ponytailed member of the Victors Legion, because… Jiang Xiao seemed to have saved his life?
Jiang Xiao had just experienced all of that and the memories were still fresh in his mind. As Yan Zebin ran over with a spear, Jiang Xiao took the sword and went ahead.
That was where Yan Zebin was poisoned and eventually died in the corridor!
Yan Zebin couldn’t be bothered much as the only thing he was focusing on was the hideous monster!
He stabbed the monster in the chest after taking an accurate aim, but to his surprise, the stone monster didn’t die. Instead, it began scratching with its sharp claws that were full of black fog.
Before Yan Zebin could respond, the hideous monster darted away.
Green Glow shone on the steel blade that smacked the stone monster, causing it to fly away. Meanwhile, Yan Zebin’s spear was still inserted in the heart of the stone monster, which also caused the stone monster to be severed in half. It spun around in the air before landing and crashing onto the ground.
“Did you find it!?!” Jiang Xiao exclaimed as he turned around without even looking at the stunned Yan Zebin.
“Huh? Oh, oh!” The dumbfounded Xia Yan immediately responded. She was full of questions, but when she saw Jiang Xiao’s extremely serious expression, she had no choice but to bear with the curiosity as she hurriedly turned around and began to look for the grayest stone monster.
Jiang Xiao looked away, carefully searching for the gray stone monster who first released the ball of poisonous fog. The vicious stone monster looked just like the other stone monsters and Jiang Xiao could still remember clearly the miserable civilians who screamed and dashed out of the store. He did not want that to happen again.
Otherwise, what was the point of doing it all over again?
Was he supposed to be like a coward and turn around to flee? Should he run far far away?
Is that my character?
My surname is Jiang and my name is Xiao or Xiaopi. What’s the point of life if I don’t do anything meaningful? What happened just now? Why did I come back again? After saving the people, I have to think about what is going on…
Yeah, my nickname might be a little long…
In the apparel store, a few translucent and unidentified objects began making noises before penetrating the wall and flying into the blue sky.
Under the clear skies, Jiang Xiao’s pupils constricted and he cast a Blessing on the gray stone sculpture!
“Jiang Xiao from Jiangbin High School. Reconnected.”
