It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"Yes."

Xia Wuyou nodded quickly, she would not interfere.

这和爱不爱许时关系不大，再爱许时也无法否认那家伙很欠揍的事实。

She, as well as other girls, had little chance to deal with him, and over time everyone reached a tacit understanding.

It's rare to see Xu Shi being humiliated. This kind of scene is not common.

But now is not the time to talk about this. She knows that what happens next is no longer something she can interfere with. All she can do is protect Dongfang Xiao.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xia."

The little queen thanked her.

"You're welcome, but it would be troublesome if you died."

Xia Wuyou spoke frankly, "After all, Xu Shi has trained you for such a long time. If you replace him with a new person, won't you have to do the same work again?"

"..."

Dongfang Xiao was speechless.

Although she also knew that this was indeed the truth, if Xu Shi won a great victory today, he could unilaterally tear up the contract, pull her down, and replace her with a more reliable person from his own side, or even sit on the throne himself.

If that was the case, her fate would either be to lose her usefulness and die of a sudden illness, or to be kept in captivity by Xu Shi as a star wrath force...

But don't say it directly! At least give people some hope, right? Xu Shi should keep his promise...right?

In short, this Mrs. Xia is so annoying!

Woo woo woo, I miss Master Xie, oh no, Sister Xie’s first day.

When she was secretly shedding her pearls in her heart, Wen Shengkui finally faced up to his opponent.

"SS level? No wonder Xu Shi insisted on asking me to come."

His eyes returned to their coldness. "Your name is Cheng Gujian? It's a good thing to be able to fight with you."

"Come on, let me see how strong you are."

"...Then let's see the truth in our hands!"

Cheng Gujian didn't waste any words, the grey flames on his spear rekindled, and his first move was a killing move!

Of course he also felt the crisis. The fights he had with Xia Wuyou were just minor ones, but the old man in front of him was no ordinary person!

Although he would not put his opponent in the "God's Realm", that is, SSS, he must also go all out against an opponent with similar strength to himself!

The gun shot out like a dragon, and the offensive force it brought was much stronger than the one he faced just now against Xia Wuyou. Even black spots appeared in the surrounding space, as if it had been completely destroyed.

Facing the opponent's offensive, Wen Shengkui also became serious.

"defense."

The old man stood still and recited softly.

The next second, Cheng Gujian felt tremendous resistance around him, and it was extremely difficult to move forward even a little bit.

He frowned subconsciously.

He knew that Wen Shengkui was quite powerful, but he had no idea what his abilities were. This shot was also meant to be a test.

So his ability... is protection?

Before he could confirm, Wen Shengkui's voice came again.

"die."

In an instant, Cheng Gujian felt the air around him become cold, as if an evil ghost was sticking to his body, constantly eroding his vitality.

Not good!

Grand Duke Gu Jian's heart tightened, obviously he didn't expect the other party's ability to be so overbearing.

However, his response was fast enough. He paused with his spear and a wisp of gray air appeared around him.

As the gray gas burned like flames, his complexion began to look a little better.

"...Madam Xia, what are they doing?"

Dongfang Xiao blinked and asked in confusion.

If she could at least enjoy the fight between Xia Wuyou and Cheng Gujian just now, now she really couldn't understand it at all.

I didn't feel that the confrontation between the two was earth-shattering, but there was an indescribable weirdness to it.

Xia Wuyou pursed her lips, but was willing to explain it to her.

Of course she was well aware of Grandpa Wen's ability of "knowledge is power". The scene of him wiping out the S-level Long Tianding with just a wave of his hand during the riot in Sin City a year ago was still vivid in her mind.

It now seems that the old man's abilities have been further enhanced during this year of going overseas.

It is not difficult for him to improve his abilities. As long as he maintains a normal intake of knowledge, he will definitely see improvements.

Although his hope of reaching SSS was slim due to physical reasons, there was no doubt that he was definitely among the top ones in the SS level.

At least now he has reached the state of "his words are followed by his actions".

If he said he wanted to defend, he could establish an invisible absolute defense. If he said he wanted to die, death would come upon Cheng Gujian without him knowing.

As for how Cheng Gujian defended, he used his destructive power to forcibly destroy "Words Come True" - Wen Shengkui was using his own supernatural aura to launch all of this, so he could still resist in essence.

Of course, this is only because Cheng Gujian is an SS of the same level as Wen Shengkui. If it were someone else, they would have been killed without leaving any trace.

The confrontation in aura was relatively mysterious and not within her area of ​​expertise, but Xia Xiaomao could feel how terrifying the silent confrontation between top combat forces was.

It doesn't have to be earth-shattering, but it must be meticulous and not miss any flaws or details. The best proof of this is that they are so close but are not affected at all, and don't even feel any oppression.

If it were her, or Xu Shi, Xie Qingyan or other S-level or even S+ players, it would be difficult to achieve such precision.

“…Isn’t this too amazing?!”

The little queen said she didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked. In her mind, Cheng Gujian's strength was already the best, but she didn't expect there was someone even more terrifying?

Xia Wuyou didn't comment, but she was more concerned about whether Wen Shengkui could handle it.

On the surface, the old man definitely has the upper hand now, but she also knows that with the opponent's physical fitness, activating his ability is a difficult task in itself.

If Cheng Gujian cannot be completely defeated before he reaches his limit, it will be useless no matter how hard he is suppressed.

Fortunately, this worry seems a bit unnecessary. Although Wen Shengkui's condition is visibly declining, he is still better after all.

As the third judgment of "death" fell, the aura of destruction around Cheng Gujian could finally no longer be resisted.

The arrogance gradually dissipated, and he was flung out uncontrollably, landing not far from Xia Wuyou and Dongfang Xiao.

The spear had already been shattered, and the body of the Grand Duke Gu Jian was cracked like a porcelain doll.

The little queen swore that she had never seen him so miserable.

She had never expected that the other party's obsession would be so strong. Even after becoming like this, he was still trying to kill her.

"you……"

He whimpered hoarsely and unwillingly, trying to throw the broken blade in his hand, "Just one step... just one step!"

"…A traitor, beyond redemption!"

Looking at the broken blade falling at his feet, Dongfang Xiao was shaking with anger. He raised the sword in his hand, ready to give him the final blow.

Cheng Gujian is now at the end of his strength. Not to mention other people, even a child can easily take his life.

however.

Just when the little queen's sword was about to fall.

A voice came from afar.

"I advise you not to do this."

Xu Shi arrived late with the others, "Or, at least listen to me first, then it won't be too late to kill him?"

"Brother Cheng, you want to use my hands to finish this game of chess, but I won't let you get your wish."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 301 Die with regret, Brother Cheng

2023-10-25

Maybe it was because he had been trained too much, when Dongfang Xiao heard Xu Shi's stop, he stopped almost reflexively.

But she was indeed a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

What does it mean to use him to finish the game? What game does Cheng Gujian want to play?

Hasn't he already lost? Why did Xu Shi stop himself from killing him?

"Can't you see it yet?"

Xu Shi's expression was not very good. "He is paving the way for you with his own life, Your Majesty."

"What did you say?!"

The little queen thought there was something wrong with her ears, and after confirming it, she still found it unbelievable.

Cheng Gujian, using his life to pave the way for himself?

Who would believe this?

Anyway, she didn't believe it. In her heart, the other party had long been a deeply rooted image of a powerful and treacherous official. How could he do such a thing?

"I know you don't believe it. I didn't believe it at first either."

Xu Shi explained, "But if he really wants to rebel, this is a bad time to do it."

Yes.

He felt something was wrong when he was fighting with the Holy See just now, but his focus was on Miss Saint at that time and he didn't have time to think too much.

After calming down a bit, he realized that there was something wrong with the timing of Cheng Gujian's uprising!

You know, in today's Hualan Empire, the most powerful parties are nothing more than three: the Holy See, the royal family headed by Cheng Gujian, and himself, an outsider.
