CHAPTER 1196: CHAPTER 1194: SAVE ME (2ND UPDATE)

Faced with life and death, who would care about what happens afterward? Those threats are useless!

In the past, the name of a First-Order Power was useful, but at this moment, it’s of no use. Instead, it provokes the ferocity of the remaining martial cultivators even more.

"No..." Quickly, on the side of the Qiu Family, two of Qiu Shuang’s four minions have already died, miserably slaughtered under attack. The Great Slayer Sect and Feng Family are the same; several members with insufficient strength have been surrounded and killed.

On the Yuan Family side, Old Yuan has always been by Yuan Mengyuan’s side. One can imagine Old Yuan’s strength; even when surrounded, he remains unfazed, able to protect himself while helping Yuan Mengyuan.

But Yuan Ding and Yuan Qi are in a miserable situation.

Both are merely at the Fourth Level of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain.

Although they have some strength, it’s far from enough to help them survive this siege. Their faces are deathly pale, grips tight on their weapons, screaming and madly trying to fend off all attacks. But they’re besieged by dozens of martial cultivators from all directions, helpless!

Poof! Poof!! Poof!!!

In the blink of an eye, numerous wounds appear on Yuan Ding and Yuan Qi, their clothes soaked in blood, looking quite tragic. Especially Yuan Qi, who has a slashing wound on his cheek, horrifyingly deep that it almost splits half his face open, leaving a stark red gash.

"Old Yuan, save me."

Suddenly, Yuan Ding shouts.

Old Yuan hears him and manages to fend off a few attacks for Yuan Ding, under the premise of protecting Yuan Mengyuan.

The main reason for this is that Yuan Ding has some connection with him. Yuan Ding’s grandfather is a guard in the Yuan Family, long serving for hundreds of thousands of years, having been by Old Yuan’s side in the early years.

Thus, Yuan Ding and Old Yuan share a bit of camaraderie.

It’s normal to take care of Yuan Ding within one’s capabilities.

Thanks to Old Yuan’s care, though minor, Yuan Ding can withstand for now, panting heavily, swallowing an elixir, continuing to endure.

"Old Yuan, save me, Miss, save me." Yuan Qi also screams; he can’t hold on any longer, seeing Old Yuan help Yuan Ding gives him hope, and he calls for help too.

Unfortunately, it’s futile.

Old Yuan is at his limit, protecting Yuan Mengyuan and helping Yuan Ding; he has no vigor left to save Yuan Qi.

So, he ignores it.

Yuan Mengyuan wants to save Yuan Qi; after all, Yuan Qi is her guard. Though she is somewhat displeased with Yuan Qi, as his performance has been poor, if there’s an opportunity to save him, she certainly wants to.

But there’s no way now. Though her strength is adequate, being attacked by the group makes it difficult for her, mainly due to insufficient combat experience. Luckily, she is very safe under Old Yuan’s protection.

Asking Old Yuan to save Yuan Qi is even less possible; she’s perceptive enough to see Old Yuan is at his limit; helping Yuan Ding was already overstretching.

Involuntarily, Yuan Mengyuan looks towards Su Chen.

At this moment, Su Chen appears relaxed.

Yes.

He’s just relaxed.

To say something bold, with his current strength, he could stand still and let those angry martial cultivators attack without any danger. The attacks from those at the first, second, third, and fourth levels of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain would at best scratch him. His undying and indestructible body can instantly recover.

So, he is easily defending against surrounding sieges, face unchanged, clothes unstained by blood.

Now, among all the martial cultivators besieged on the last stronghold, none are as relaxed as him.

Of course, Su Chen’s current strength is indeed terrifying, bolstered by the harvest in the Thunder Electric Gang Shield, doubling his strength. He even has confidence in fighting against the Elder of the Pang Family openly without defeat, or even borrowing Jiuyou’s power for a deadly chance to kill the elder.

With absolute strength, he’s simply playing a game.

Of course, during his gaming, Su Chen also helps Jiang Yuan.

Being human, a little conscience is good; without Jiang Yuan, everyone would die.

Now, with Jiang Yuan’s help, they’ve found a lifeboat. Yet, others like Yaun Tianyan, Xuu Xiao, upon its appearance, no longer spare Jiang Yuan a glance, having long forgotten him, as if past promises to Jiang Yuan were mere nonsense.

Su Chen won’t do that; helping Jiang Yuan doesn’t cost him much vigor.

Thanks to Su Chen, Jiang Yuan, though besieged, remains unharmed, his face filled with gratitude. He can distinguish between good and bad. Among these strong fighters present, at this moment of mortal danger, only Su Chen remembers him.

"Su Chen, save me!!!" Suddenly, Yuan Qi screams, voice full of pleading, almost ready to kneel for Su Chen. He’s truly at the limit; if no one helps, he’ll die horribly, not even leaving behind a corpse.

Su Chen glances at Jiang Yuan, unexpectedly laughs.

Then, he shakes his head, Su Chen mischievously shakes his head.

Begging for rescue? Who does Yuan Qi think he is? Su Chen isn’t a Holy Mother to repay grievances with kindness; he wouldn’t do such things.

In the forest, intentionally or not, whether useful or not, Yuan Mengyuan helped him. If Yuan Mengyuan faced danger, assisting her is no problem. In fact, he kept focusing on Yuan Mengyuan, seeing her supported by Old Yuan, hence not stepping in; otherwise, he’d have aided her earlier.

However, Yuan Mengyuan is Yuan Mengyuan, while Yuan Qi is Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi multiple times wanted to kill him, his murderous intents were never hidden. If not for Yuan Mengyuan stopping it, Yuan Qi would have made several attempts.

Now, wanting him to save him, haha, that joke isn’t funny.

"Brother Yuan Qi, I’m just a waste, what strength or qualification do I have to save you?" Su Chen blinked.

"Bastard!!! You... you bastard!" Yuan Qi’s hopeful eyes turned immediately venomous, hating Su Chen more fiercely than those martial cultivators attacking him to death.

"Su Chen, can you help Yuan Qi?" Suddenly, Yuan Mengyuan speaks, biting her red lips, beautiful eyes slightly pleading. She knows it’s reasonable for Su Chen not to help Yuan Qi, given Yuan Qi’s hostility towards Su Chen all along. Asking him to help is quite demanding.

But.

She is kind-hearted.

She can see Su Chen is quite relaxed; helping Yuan Qi is a trivial effort but could save his life.

Thus, she attempts to plead.
