Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Where is your "Brother Yang"?

"Why aren't we together?"

"I understand... Did he think you were too much of a burden, so he abandoned you?"

Zhao Tian put down his broadsword, his face full of mockery.

This last sentence precisely stung the "naturally naive" Xi'er.

It's all my fault... Is it because I'm too useless that Brother Yang doesn't want me anymore...?

Her voice was filled with disappointment, almost choked with sobs.

However, in reality, that pretty face remained cold.

Zhou Xier slowly raised her eyelids:

"You bunch of nobodyes, do you even deserve to mention him?"

The air fell silent for a moment after those words were spoken.

The bald man's face instantly turned red:

"You brat! You're about to die and you still dare to be stubborn!"

"Brother Zhao, stop wasting time talking to her, let me cripple her first!"

The bald man roared and swung his hammer, ready to charge forward.

Just then, the camera from one of the live streams switched to this spot.

In the scene, five burly men surround a petite blue-haired girl, creating a tense atmosphere.

[Holy crap! What's going on? Five burly men ganging up on a teenage girl?!]

[How shameless! These guys look so big and strong, yet they ganged up on a little girl?!]

[It's just a competition, is this really necessary? This is a bit much.]

【…】

"No rush!" Zhao Tian raised his hand to stop his impulsive underlings: "Take a look at the name on her bracelet first."

"Zhou Xier?"

One of the henchmen who was nearby read it out unconsciously, and then his eyes widened in shock.

The others were also startled and quickly pulled up the points leaderboard on their wristbands.

On the seventh spot on the leaderboard, the three characters "Zhou Xier" were prominently displayed!

"How can such a young girl have so many points!"

They were all fooled by Zhou Xier's innocent appearance.

If Zhao Tian hadn't shown them the other person's name, they wouldn't have noticed.

The bald man who had been stopped felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively swallowed.

Thankfully, Brother Zhao stopped me in time.

Otherwise, I might have already been eliminated by this little girl.

The viewers in the live stream quickly realized what was happening.

[Holy crap! Zhou Xier! The one ranked seventh on the leaderboard?!]

[Am I seeing things? This adorable little girl is only seventh?!]

[Wow...that's terrifying! This is a true giant with a baby face!]

This is going to be interesting! I thought it would be a simple one-sided victory, but it turns out to be a clash of titans!

"Brother Zhao, what do we do now?"

A Yong subconsciously looked at Zhao Tian.

"What should we do?" A ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Tian's eyes.

"Such a big, fat sheep delivered right to our mouths, of course we can't miss it!"

"No matter how capable she is, she's just one person! There are so many of us, are we afraid of a little girl like her?"

"Everyone, get your spirits up! Use the tactics we've been practicing!"

"Outlast her!"

The other four exchanged glances.

They quickly dispersed, subtly forming an encirclement.

The comments section in the live stream erupted once again.

This is troublesome. That guy named Zhao Tian seems very experienced; he's clearly planning to use teamwork.

I checked these five people, and their scores are all within the top 20. They're all quite strong. This girl's chances are slim.

[Sigh, what a pity, this girl doesn't seem to have much internal energy or stamina...]

In my mind, the voice of "Dumb and Cute Xi" rang out again:

[Watch out! There are many of them!]

"Tsk!"

"So what if there are more people?"

"A bunch of small fry tied together are still small fry!"

Zhou Xier clicked her tongue in disdain.

"All of you, get up!" With Zhao Tian's command, the five men moved instantly!

Zhou Xier's eyes narrowed.

Water Shadow Step!

The girl's figure suddenly blurred, leaving a faint ripple of water in her place.

In an instant, her true form appeared like a ghost beside one of the team members.

A blue blade of light flashed past silently!

"not good!"

The team member was terrified and suddenly swung his spear horizontally.

But Zhou Xier's knife was even faster!

The blade pressed down directly on his gun barrel, the immense force causing his arms to sink, and his attack instantly crumbled.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xier flipped her wrist, her strikes becoming faster and faster, directly overwhelming the enemy.

The team member was forced to retreat steadily, completely unable to fight back!

The live stream chat exploded instantly, with gifts and special effects flooding in.

Holy crap! Is this girl that fierce?!

[That swordsmanship is so fast and skillful! So fluid and graceful!]

[Seventh in the sixth group standings, they definitely have some skill.]

[Your move was both beautiful and cool, keep it up, little sister!]

【…】

"She's an agile attacker! Don't let her move!"

Zhao Tian immediately saw through Zhou Xier's fighting style and shouted, "Baldy, Third Brother, you two go up there and restrict her movement!"

"Yes, Brother Zhao!"

The bald man and the other burly man exchanged a glance and immediately changed tactics.

Instead of attacking, they brandished their weapons, tightly blocking Zhou Xier's movement.

Zhou Xier frowned slightly.

She could feel that her true energy was almost depleted, and the continuous high-intensity battles and travel had pushed her physical strength to its limit.

We must finish this quickly!

Her figure transformed into a watery shadow once more, attempting to bypass the two men's blockade.

But this time, Zhao Tian and the others were on guard.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

Zhao Tian grinned maliciously. He seized the moment when Zhou Xier's figure flashed, and with a whistling sound, he slashed at her waist with his broadsword!

This powerful strike sealed off all her escape routes.

Zhou Xier had no choice but to parry with her sword.

"Clang!"

The loud clang of metal clashing echoed through the forest.

A tremendous force came from the blade, and Zhou Xier felt a numbness in her hand. She was forced to stagger backward seven or eight steps before she could barely regain her balance.

Her face finally turned pale.

"Haha! I thought you were something special!"

"Turns out, he was just a paper tiger, all bark and no bite!"

Emboldened by his successful strike, Zhao Tian shouted, "Brothers, she's almost done for! Let's go get her and take her home!"

The remaining three swarmed forward, launching an attack like a storm.

Zhou Xier's situation instantly became precarious.

He could only barely hold on against the three men's combined attack by relying on his exquisite footwork and fighting instincts.

The tide in the live stream turned instantly.

[Sigh, this is no good. This little girl's true energy and stamina can't keep up.]

[What a pity, if it were a one-on-one fight, none of Zhao Tian's men would be a match for her.]

Two fists can't beat four hands; I'm going to be eliminated now...
