She wants to fight?
Seeing Dongfang Xiaoyao flash to Lu Feng's side, Chen Yong and others from the Martial Department's Suzhou branch were stunned.
Although they had learned from Dongfang Xiaoyao's mouth that she had come to help them because Jiang Wuming had spoken, Chen Yong had previously reminded Dongfang Xiaoyao that the enemy was very strong. However, Dongfang Xiaoyao had not left. Instead, she rushed to the forefront, appearing ready to fight.
This filled them with both surprise and joy!
The surprise came from Dongfang Xiaoyao's disregard for danger, her willingness to risk her life to assist them.
The joy came from the fact that with Dongfang Xiaoyao's addition, even though their overall strength was still inferior to the enemy's, they had a glimmer of hope of victory.
To take a step back, even if they ultimately couldn't win, they could still tie down the five extraterrestrial black-armored warriors and wait for Yan Jun to lead reinforcements!
In this way, their mission could be considered a success!
"Director, she and I will each deal with one enemy. You try your best to hold off the other three..."
After the initial surprise, Lu Feng popped a healing pill, turned his head, and suggested to Chen Yong.
As the strongest martial artist in the Martial Department's Suzhou branch, Lu Feng had the richest combat experience. He saw the situation at a glance and proposed the most reasonable combat strategy.
However, before Chen Yong could reply, Dongfang Xiaoyao turned to look at Lu Feng:
"Give me the saber, and you all retreat."
"You... you want to fight alone?!"
Lu Feng was dumbfounded. He understood the implication in Dongfang Xiaoyao's words and looked at her with disbelief. His shock was even greater than before!
"Uh..."
At the same time, Chen Yong and the other personnel from the Martial Department's Suzhou branch were also dumbfounded.
Initially, they were already surprised that Dongfang Xiaoyao was willing to risk her life to help them.
Now, Dongfang Xiaoyao was telling them to retreat, seemingly wanting to fight alone!
This was completely beyond their imagination!
Did she think the battle was a one-on-one confrontation?
Amidst their shock, Chen Yong and the others suddenly realized something.
Reason told them that Dongfang Xiaoyao mistakenly believed the battle was a one-on-one duel, which was why she told them to retreat.
But even so, they were still immensely shocked!
After all, even in a one-on-one scenario, Dongfang Xiaoyao would have to fight against five extraterrestrial black-armored warriors of the same cultivation level consecutively!
"Tsk tsk, this girl isn't old, but her tone is quite bold."
"This girl is quite attractive. How about I subdue her, and we take turns enjoying her?"
Immediately, before Chen Yong and the others could recover, two black-armored warriors standing in front of the curtain spoke mockingly. They had no confidence in Dongfang Xiaoyao's ability to fight them individually and completely underestimated her.
"She has angered me. There is no way for her to live. Moreover, a lowly native like her is not worthy of serving us!"
The black-armored warrior who had just injured Lu Feng responded to his companions without even turning his head.
"Makes sense. Then I'll take care of her."
The black-armored warrior who had previously taken an interest in Dongfang Xiaoyao found merit in the statement and no longer argued to act.
"Combat is not one-on-one..."
At the same time, Lu Feng regained his senses, but instead of handing the saber to Dongfang Xiaoyao, he spoke to remind her.
However—
Before he could finish speaking, the black-armored warrior who had injured him spoke coldly, pointing his long spear directly at Dongfang Xiaoyao: "You lowly native, who gave you the courage to speak such nonsense?!"
*Swish!*
The response to the black-armored warrior was the sound of something cutting through the air.
Dongfang Xiaoyao did not wait for Lu Feng to hand her the saber. Instead, she responded to the black-armored warrior with action!
In an instant, Dongfang Xiaoyao's vital energy surged, and her internal energy poured into her Yongquan acupoints. With a leap, she shot forward like a human lightning bolt, charging directly at the black-armored warrior!
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Dongfang Xiaoyao charging at him empty-handed without saying a word, the black-armored warrior became utterly enraged.
*Whoosh!*
With a roar, the black-armored warrior stepped forward, like a dark shadow, meeting Dongfang Xiaoyao. The battle spear in his hand fiercely stabbed towards Dongfang Xiaoyao. Wherever the spear passed, the air was pushed aside, creating a sharp gust of wind.
The wind swept in all directions, and the spear whistled as it came!
Danger!
Behind Dongfang Xiaoyao, Lu Feng's heart tightened.
As a nine-star martial artist, he had just clashed with the black-armored warrior and knew well that the warrior's spear technique was powerful yet cunning, honed through killing, and extremely terrifying.
At this moment, the spear thrust by the black-armored warrior was even more terrifying than the previous ones directed at Lu Feng, leaving almost no room for Dongfang Xiaoyao to dodge.
In the next moment, under everyone's gaze, the long spear in the black-armored warrior's hand pierced through Dongfang Xiaoyao's body.
It's over!
Seeing this, except for Lu Feng, Chen Yong and the employees of the Martial Department's Suzhou branch all changed color, their hearts heavy.
However—
In an instant, they realized something was wrong!
Because there was no blood splattering in the air!
Afterimage!
What the black-armored warrior had stabbed was the afterimage left by Dongfang Xiaoyao!
Lu Feng and the five extraterrestrial black-armored warriors also realized this.
Dongfang Xiaoyao had used her extreme speed to create an afterimage, confusing her opponent and causing their attack to miss, thereby exposing a weakness.
*Shu la!*
The black-armored warrior's spear missed its target, and his expression changed drastically!
Because Dongfang Xiaoyao's body had passed by the sharp battle spear, instantly closing the distance to the black-armored warrior. Her right hand swung out fiercely, forming a claw, and like snatching something from a bag, she swiftly grabbed the black-armored warrior's right hand holding the spear.
*Pa!*
A dull thud was heard. Dongfang Xiaoyao grabbed the black-armored warrior's wrist, and the internal energies of both sides clashed intensely.
The black-armored warrior attempted to push Dongfang Xiaoyao's right hand away through his internal energy defense, but he failed.
As Dongfang Xiaoyao's hand was too small to fully grip the black-armored warrior's wrist, she changed her target and grabbed the battle spear, pulling forcefully and yanking the black-armored warrior towards her.
*Whoosh!*
At the same time, Dongfang Xiaoyao's left hand turned into a palm, with internal energy dense on the back of her hand. It whipped out like a whip, hidden and swift, striking the black-armored warrior's abdomen.
*Bang!*
The black-armored warrior was caught off guard and was struck in the lower abdomen by Dongfang Xiaoyao's palm. His abdomen felt like it was about to explode, causing immense pain.
Under the severe pain, the black-armored warrior's body arched like a cooked shrimp, and then he was sent flying backward by the impact. A mouthful of blood surged from his throat, but he forcibly swallowed it back down, and his grip on the spear loosened.
Dongfang Xiaoyao did not hesitate. She grabbed the black-armored warrior's battle spear, channeled her internal energy, and abruptly threw it.
*Xiū!*
A sharp whistling sound cut through the air. The heavy and sharp black spear, like a black streak of light, flashed past.
Danger!
The black-armored warrior, with his rich experience in life-and-death combat and strong combat instincts, sensed the danger before he had even landed. He tried to shift his body in mid-air to avoid the thrust.
However—
He had been struck in the abdomen by Dongfang Xiaoyao's palm. Although his armor protected him, he was still injured, and the flow of his internal energy was somewhat hindered. This directly caused his body to lag behind his consciousness, and his evasion was half a beat slow.
In a battle between masters, victory and death are decided in an instant!
With that half-beat delay, the black-armored warrior could no longer dodge.
*Pfft—*
To the black-armored warrior's panicked expression, the sharp battle spear directly pierced his armor, then penetrated his left chest, pinning him to a large tree in the courtyard of Hanshan Temple!
A heart-piercing spear, a chilling stab.
The girl, bare-handed, attacked proactively, snatched the spear, and killed the enemy in one fluid motion!
