Chapter 366: Chapter 145: It’s the end of the month, please continue to ask for votes

At this time, all twelve members of the Western State Country’s team had surrounded them. Led by Vilia, Gao Si, and the other team members, they formed a circle around Gu Xiaoxi and her two companions.

"Who said we wanted to leave! Hand over the badges you’ve obtained, or else the fate of those behind you, already injured, will be yours today," Vilia said, pointing at the already wounded team member behind Gu Xiaoxi, his face sinister.

Clearly, he had disregarded Gao Si’s words as if they were nothing.

Gao Si stood there, feeling uneasy! His ambushes had never failed before, yet Gu Xiaoxi still managed to dodge. This indicated that she was highly alert, and the dangerous aura she emitted made her even more daunting.

Gu Xiaoxi coldly half-squinted her eyes, her gaze falling on them like a knife, "If you’re seeking death, then I’ll send you to heaven sooner. Jing Haoran, Yun Xiao, show no mercy, if we don’t kill them, we must make them pay a painful price."

Jing Haoran looked at Gao Si with fury, and angrily said, "Have the guts, look at me! Let’s fight fair and square!"

Gao Si raised his head, and in an instant, his eyes shrank with fear, and he teleported away, his figure disappearing from the spot.

He had always heard about the Tricolor Pupil, but he didn’t expect to encounter someone with this ability. Those eyes held the power of a demon, leading anyone they looked upon toward destruction.

Jing Haoran was taken aback that this man was so alert; on seeing his eyes, he disappeared immediately.

If he had been just a second later, Jing Haoran would have controlled him.

At this moment, Gu Xiaoxi looked at the fleeing Gao Si and said to Jing Haoran and Yun Xiao, "Leave that person to me. You deal with these people!"

Saying this, she immediately chased after him into the not-so-distant shadows.

Even though Gao Si could teleport, Gu Xiaoxi had her Spiritual Sense that extended around her; as long as he teleported within that range, she could track his whereabouts.

Seeing Gao Si flee, Vilia felt disgruntled, and resolute, he turned to Yun Xiao and commanded, "Catch these two first, then go after Gu Xiaoxi."

"A bunch of men think women are easy to bully, don’t they!" Jing Haoran didn’t plan to wait for them to react but instead drew his dagger and charged at them. The glow in his tricolor pupils was bizarre, particularly in the night, making it look even more terrifying.

Vilia instinctively defended himself, but as soon as he noticed Jing Haoran’s eyes, he started to retreat, only it was already too late.

Jing Haoran rushed forward, kicking him squarely in the chest, then viciously plunged his dagger into his shoulder. The injury wouldn’t be fatal, but it was definitely severe.

Vilia’s teammates were instantly scared into retreating, shocked... Their captain, who was immensely strong and possessed world-class fighting technique, was injured without the ability to fight back.

Yun Xiao didn’t stop either, condensing the moisture in the air into Ice Needles that shot towards their opponents. Almost instantly, everyone felt as if they’d been punctured by thousands of tiny holes, their bodies stiff and numb from the cold. The pain almost made them stagger and fall.

Jing Haoran, without hesitation and foregoing the use of his Tricolor Pupil, simply lifted his leg and, like Gao Si had done to their teammate, kicked their knees.

Screams of agony instantly filled the area!

The campfire burned.

The faint yellow flames danced in the night, reflecting the pained expressions of Vilia’s group.

Long Yi, dragging his injured knee, leaned against the wall corner, watching the beating Vilia was receiving and feeling a refreshing sense of satisfaction. At the same time, he deeply realized their uselessness.

Facing those with Special Abilities, they were like garbage, completely without the capacity to defend themselves.

Meanwhile, as Gao Si fled, he was terrified. Gu Xiaoxi was like a relentless plague spirit clinging to him.

Just as he teleported to a spot, she appeared before him like a ghost.

This happened over and over, more than a dozen times!

In her heart, Gu Xiaoxi was astonished by this man’s ability; he was incredibly fast, and even when she used her Inner Strength to the fullest extent, pushing her Qinggong to its limits, she still couldn’t catch up to him.

This couldn’t continue, or he would eventually escape.

Sensing that his alertness was so high and knowing he couldn’t defeat her, he kept fleeing, with no intention of fighting her at all.

Gu Xiaoxi calculated the trajectory of his flight. Each teleport had a maximum range of two hundred to four hundred meters, and no matter how much he fled, he couldn’t possibly escape on his own; he would always come back to save his teammates.

The moment he entered her controlled range again, she did not believe he could keep escaping for long.

Gu Xiaoxi’s figure flashed, blending into the night, as she made her way back to the scene of the incident. She believed that with Jing Haoran there, Yun Xiao could easily handle those people.

Gao Si didn’t know why Gu Xiaoxi suddenly stopped chasing him. While he felt puzzled, he also had to go back and save his comrades.

His mind was straightforward and simple, and he didn’t ponder on it too much.

At this moment, the scene was in disarray; Vilia and his team were all injured, including himself with very serious wounds.

He hadn’t expected that the people from Liuli Country, who appeared short and not very strong, would have such terrifying explosive power. Yun Xiao’s Ox Hair Ice Needles punctured them like sieves in an instant, numbing their muscles.

And the eyes of Jing Haoran, like those of a demon, immediately stripped them of the will to resist.

Seeing his teammates like this, Gao Si felt anxious. With everyone injured, he couldn’t save so many people by himself. In particular, he was very wary of Gu Xiaoxi and didn’t know what to do for the moment.

While he was hiding and burning with anxiety, a figure suddenly flashed behind him, followed by a sensation so unnerving it made his scalp tingle as it surged towards him.

He didn’t manage to teleport in time and was directly kicked flying, his body tracing a terrifying arc before landing next to Vilia.

The next second, Gu Xiaoxi appeared in everyone’s sight, stepping on Gao Si’s shoulder and snorting coldly.

She turned her head, looking at the bleeding Vilia and said with an icy tone, "You tell me, how should I deal with you?"

"If you dare kill us, you can forget about ranking in this competition. The World Competition will disqualify you directly," Vilia immediately retorted loudly. After all, if one was bested, there was nothing else to be said.

"To kill you all would be dirtying our hands," Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her injured teammates. Now, almost everyone had sustained severe fractures, and it was clear they would no longer be able to participate in the competition.

"Don’t push people too far, Gu Xiaoxi!" Vilia felt he might die very soon, especially since his shoulder kept bleeding. Not only did Gu Xiaoxi ignore it, but she also threatened them like this.

"I am a person who takes vengeance for the smallest grievance. International friendship is indeed important, but people as overbearing and unreasonable as you cannot possibly represent your commanders. Once the competition is over, I will personally go and demand an explanation from your commanders. As for you, all of you will be disabled. I do not wish to see anyone able to stand up and hop around in front of me," Gu Xiaoxi pressed down hard with her foot, pushing Gao Si to the ground.

Gao Si felt a heart-rending pain in his chest. Unaware of how strong Gu Xiaoxi was, he couldn’t teleport with her pressing down on him, feeling as if the bones in his chest would break and his breathing was being blocked.

Even when she released him, he was still in such pain that he was numb all over, unable to move.

Gu Xiaoxi checked the injuries of her teammates and then shook her head regretfully, her expression grave, "Almost every one of you has fractures with bone shattering. You have to withdraw from the competition to heal."

"What?" Long Yi gritted his teeth. The pain was already making him sweat profusely. More than the pain, what he cared about the most was the competition.

"There is another thousand kilometers to go, and not only are you injured, but your military dogs are too. Without treatment, you won’t just be unable to reach the end; this leg could be disabled for a lifetime. You are all martial artists; without your legs, what will you do in the future?" Gu Xiaoxi was not suggesting they forsake their teammates but was making the most correct choice. Of the twelve people, eight were injured.

This was a heavy loss for her team. To help in the resistance against war meant risking their lives; to continue with the injured would just be a collective march towards death.

Immediately, silence enveloped the scene, and everyone understood just how harsh reality was. Fortunately, they had given their all on the previous road and earned honor for their country. Now they had no regrets!

*

This incident left both sides injured, with some of Gu Xiaoxi’s team withdrawing from the competition and the entire team from Western State Country dropping out.

Fortunately, they had already obtained the badges, and the remaining four members could continue the mission.

As long as they delivered the intelligence to help resist the war, they would have won.

Gu Xiaoxi saw Long Yi and the others off onto the helicopter with a solemn expression. Only after they had departed did she turn to Jing Haoran and Yun Xiao Ji Xinyu, "We continue our journey tonight! Before dawn, we reach the next city."

"Yes!" Everyone said nothing and began to quietly continue their journey.

Throughout the night’s march, everyone was famished and without food or water, they all felt mentally and physically exhausted.

Gu Xiaoxi felt her throat smoking and her physical strength rapidly depleting. Along the way, besides barren haystacks, there wasn’t even a decent tree to be seen.

It wasn’t until a faint light brightened the horizon that they reached the outskirts of the next city.

Just as they relaxed for a moment, ready to rest, they heard the sounds of war.

Thick smoke billowed in the sky above a nearby city, with the heavy scent of gunpowder wafting for miles.

Since the distance was too great, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t sense what was happening there. All she knew was that a large city lay ahead, waging a defensive battle against the villains.

Gu Xiaoxi, along with Yun Xiao and the other two, hid behind a large boulder. Looking up, they saw a row of armored vehicles drive past them.
