Chapter 290 A Small Improvement
Jiang Xiao's eyes narrowed, locking onto the location.
Finally found them!
Jiang Xiao drew his giant blade, urging the shield warrior in front to move faster. He couldn't wait to give these mages and archers a good close-quarters combat practice lesson!
"Hey!" The Yunnan shield warrior once again intercepted a poison arrow with his rose shield. Zhang Qin Zhou reported the enemy's positions while cautiously guarding the two healers, feeling immense pressure.
Their own healer was fine, obediently hiding behind him, but the healer from Beijiang Province was too reckless.
You're a healer, urging the shield warriors to move faster? You want to quickly join the battle so you can chop people up?
Zhang Qin Zhou had thought Jiang Xiao's giant blade was just for show, but now it seemed this little poisonous healer from Beijiang could actually wield the massive blade?
Are you even a proper healer?
Well,
Healer, yes,
Proper?... That's another matter.
Thump!
Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted Jiang Xiao's teaching plan.
The sound came from the plague arrows. They weren't absorbed by the Yunnan shield warrior's rose shield?
Instead, they exploded!?
What was going on?
The Ancient Martial Poison Archers had gained enlightenment. They no longer pulled their bows and shot arrows at the enemy, but instead shot upwards at a special angle.
Two poison arrows plunged deep into the stone ceiling and then exploded.
Dark green poisonous mist instantly filled the air. Everyone hurriedly focused and held their breath, but the poisonous mist didn't seem to need to be inhaled to affect them. It seemed that just touching the skin could affect their minds.
Seeing their tactic was effective, the Ancient Martial Poison Archers fired poison arrows one after another, filling the entire corridor with poisonous mist.
The team's pace immediately slowed down. Jiang Xiao even felt a little dizzy...
In a daze, Jiang Xiao's body swayed slightly. He gripped his blade and used it as a cane to maintain his balance.
Damn it, don't do this to me.
I've already bragged so much,
Even sang the lyrics, and now you poison archers suddenly erupt?
Are you deliberately going against me?
Don't I have any face?
With the poisonous mist spreading, Cai Yao did her best and threw out a Silence, shutting the poison archers up.
However, the poison archers were positioned in a dispersed formation, and they all had cover, defending against the students' charge.
Jiang Xiao didn't care about much else. While the poisoning was still shallow and before he completely passed out, he supported his dazed head and threw out another Silence, still targeting the Ancient Martial Soul.
The Ancient Martial Soul was the main problem. As long as it was controlled, Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan could quickly come to support them.
Although Blessing couldn't break the frozen body or extinguish the flames on the body, Blessing should be able to dispel this kind of internal poison, right?
Jiang Xiao threw a Blessing on himself, gritted his teeth, but still couldn't help but hum.
Healing himself like this is really too cool.
"Don't panic!" The Yunnan shield warrior roared.
The rose shield on his left arm rapidly fell apart. The delicate, dripping petals fell to the ground and quickly withered, like a dream fading away.
No!
The dream hasn't ended!
Next, a more beautiful dream came.
A pure white flower instantly bloomed on the Yunnan shield warrior's left hand—two, three...
It was a holy white, a pure lily!
A faint floral fragrance wafted through the air, refreshing the heart and lungs.
The contestants who were infected by the poisonous mist, dizzy, and nauseous were quickly healed after smelling the fragrance.
Jiang Xiao shook his head vigorously, his vision returning to normal. He wasn't sure if his Blessing had worked or if the charming floral fragrance had worked.
But looking at the appearance of everyone around him being healed, Jiang Xiao understood that the lily fragrance was truly awesome.
This shield warrior from the Yunnan Provincial Team was rather thin, but at this moment, in everyone's eyes, his body was so tall and mighty, his aura was two meters and eighty centimeters.
The Yunnan shield warrior held the rose shield in his right hand, blocking it in front of everyone, and constantly waved the lily shield in his left hand. Although he couldn't dispel the poisonous mist in the corridor, he could ensure that everyone would not be harmed by the poisonous mist again.
Through the not-so-dense poisonous mist, Jiang Xiao saw the grimacing half-figure at the corner of the corridor.
The Ancient Martial Soul's face was full of anger and unwillingness, as if it would wait for the massacre of everyone instead of leaving.
Damn you!
Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao threw out another Silence, and then the Light of Reversal directly connected to the other half of the body.
I not only want to share your star power, but I also want to use your star power to silence you!
How about that!?
Dare to poison me? You dare...
Wait, I seem to have attacked the wrong person.
Misunderstanding, misunderstanding...
Jiang Xiao blinked his eyes. This Ancient Martial Soul was even more aggrieved than himself. It had been silenced and unable to use star techniques, and this guy was as stubborn as a donkey. It just stayed in place and didn't leave, just wanting to rely on its own strength to suppress the violent star power in its body.
"Charge!" Jiang Xiao put his hand on the shoulder of the Yunnan shield warrior and shouted loudly, "Once and for all, charge!"
While speaking, Jiang Xiao frantically threw out the Sound of Silence towards the end of the corridor. The Ancient Martial Poison Archers were hit hard by the Silence and their faces turned red. Compared to their original pale faces, Jiang Xiao had given them makeup.
Ever since Jiang Xiao's Light of Reversal connected to the Ancient Martial Soul, his star power seemed to be inexhaustible, throwing out a Sound of Silence one after another.
Jiang Xiao was very comfortable, feeling like his star power was endless.
While running, the rose shield in the Yunnan shield warrior's right hand continued to grow wildly, getting bigger and bigger, blocking him and Jiang Xiao behind.
The Ancient Martial Poison Archers' movements were very strange. They didn't turn around and run away. Instead, they kept backing away while constantly making the movements of pulling bows and shooting arrows. They should still be trying to mobilize star power, trying to attack the enemy as soon as they left the Silence domain.
"Raise the shield! Raise the shield!" Jiang Xiao and the Yunnan shield warrior cooperated well. Jiang Xiao made a ground slide, making a football slide tackle motion, and窜 out from under the flower shield, his giant blade slashing fiercely.
The Ancient Martial Poison Archer hurriedly dodged backwards, but Jiang Xiao's offensive was like continuous river water. If one strike failed, he borrowed the momentum of the giant blade's swing, borrowed strength from his feet, and his whole body flipped diagonally upwards in the air, quickly approaching the Ancient Martial Poison Archer. The giant blade slashed down from top to bottom.
The Ancient Martial Poison Archer was instantly hit, from the upper left shoulder to the lower right kidney, a large blood-red gash bloomed, and blood splattered everywhere.
The moment Jiang Xiao landed, it was another hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. The giant blade was already long, and this forward stab instantly turned the opponent into a candied hawthorn.
The Yunnan shield warrior who was close at hand was stunned. You're telling me this is a healer?
"Silver Hundred Kills, Skill Point +1!"
"Xia Family Blade Technique upgraded, Silver Quality Lv.9!"
Wow!
Awesome!
The information from the Inner Vision Star Chart made Jiang Xiao a little surprised, but also very happy.
"Aww! Aww! Aww!" The distant Ancient Martial Soul clearly felt the rapid loss of star power in its body. A thick, dark line was inserted into its body, like a large water pipe, pouring its star power into Jiang Xiao's body.
The Ancient Martial Soul roared angrily and finally stopped being stubborn. It had no capital to be stubborn anymore. It staggered and limped towards the back of the wall.
Whoosh!
The Ancient Martial Soul, which was only showing half of its body, suddenly tilted. The next moment, a golden fire whip pierced through layers of poisonous mist and directly wrapped around the pale face of the Ancient Martial Soul.
The Snow God is here, all living beings retreat.
The Ancient Martial Soul screamed loudly from the burns. Even after being dragged out of the Silence area, it still had no intention of using star techniques, but kept using its pale hands to pull off the golden flame whip from its face.
Han Jiangxue yanked hard and followed up with a blast of荒风 (Huang Feng), and then raised her left hand in front of her, opening a shattered space.
Swoosh!
The sound of painful screams came to an abrupt end, and the Ancient Martial Soul plunged into the shattered space, its figure disappearing from this world.
On both sides of Han Jiangxue's body, Xia Yan and Liu Yang sped out and rushed towards the remaining few Ancient Martial Poison Archers.
The battle behind them is over? The three-team alliance won completely?
Jiang Xiao tossed the giant blade in his hand. The agile warriors had already gone up, so there was really nothing for him to do.
They won just like that?
I haven't even exerted any strength yet?
Everyone then reacted and cheered, "We won!"
"We won!!"
"Damn it, we actually won!?"
Han Jiangxue came to Jiang Xiao's side, reached out and pulled him up, and said with concern, "Are you hurt?"
"No." Jiang Xiao hurriedly shook his head. Han Jiangxue's concern reminded Jiang Xiao of the key figure just now. He turned to look at the Yunnan shield warrior, "Friend, your lily is simply a stroke of genius. Without it, everyone in this corridor would have died from poisoning. May I ask your name?"
The Yunnan shield warrior was radiant, holding the holy lily shield in his left hand high, and said with high spirits, "My name is also related to lilies!"
Jiang Xiao looked at the pure white lily shield and asked in confusion, "How so?"
The Yunnan shield warrior said, "My surname is Bai. The day I was born, my dad gave my mom a bunch of lilies like this, so my name is... Bai Yipeng (白一捧 - A Handful of White)."
Jiang Xiao couldn't catch his breath: "Cough cough..."
Han Jiangxue: "..."
