Chapter 268 Settle Accounts After the Battle

As the White Ghoul Witch frantically screamed and rushed into Han Jiangxue's spatial coffin, Jiang Xiao's turning kick also sent the White Ghoul behind him flying.

However, before Jiang Xiao could land, he was sent flying as well.

Yes, Jiang Xiao never expected that this turn would actually launch him into the air?

Was it that casual?

I'm not a helicopter...

Along with Jiang Xiao, Han Jiangxue also flew up.

After throwing the White Ghoul Witch into the spatial coffin, Han Jiangxue immediately used the "Barren Wind" star technique to quickly blow the siblings into the high altitude.

Jiang Xiao, with his tattered clothes, finally understood what "cold" meant.

If it were normal terrain, he could withstand the wind.

But this was in the snowfield, and the wind directly turned into a snow tornado.

A combination of cold wind and icy snow swept across Jiang Xiao's body in all directions.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao had the Silver-quality "Endurance". If it were an ordinary 16-year-old kid, he would probably be frozen into an ice popsicle.

It wasn't until Jiang Xiao emerged from the snow tornado, spinning in circles at the top of the wind, that he saw Han Jiangxue standing on top of the snow tornado with unparalleled grace, intently watching the situation in the distance.

If she were wearing her usual flowing white dress, she would truly resemble a banished immortal.

"Wait a moment, this group of White Ghouls will soon return to normal," Han Jiangxue said, her hands hanging down naturally, her fingers spread open, seemingly still trying to control the snow tornado that carried them both.

While Jiang Xiao uncontrollably spun in circles, he found a chance to look at Xia Yan in the distance. This violent girl was still slaughtering in all directions and was about to reach their feet.

"Such behavior is not allowed," Han Jiangxue said, looking down at the heroic female warrior below.

Xia Yan's body trembled, unsure whether it was from fright or from the woman's cold tone. In any case, she almost lost her grip on her burning giant blade and hurriedly adjusted her stance.

In the scene, only the sounds of Xia Yan's hacking and slashing and the White Ghouls' roars remained. There was no more communication between the team members.

Even a fool could sense the heavy atmosphere. Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I guess I added too many blessings. You know, she's a close-combat fighter, always charging into the enemy ranks, and she'll always get hurt. I gave her special attention."

"Yes, maybe having a healing-type Awakened in the team isn't necessarily a good thing," Han Jiangxue turned her head, her cold gaze seeming to pierce into Jiang Xiao's heart.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao was still spinning in the wind, avoiding her gaze.

This time, Jiang Xiao was honest and didn't plead for leniency.

Xia Yan's face turned pale and then red, seemingly annoyed and guilty. In any case, her movements became faster, and her moves became more fierce.

Slowly, as time passed and the slaughter continued, the White Ghouls' condition returned to normal, and scattered signs of them fleeing and disappearing into the snow forest began to appear.

At that moment, Han Jiangxue dissipated the Barren Wind, and the two landed on the ground.

She reactivated Barren Wind, but it was no longer to create distance and escape the battlefield. Instead, it was to blow the fleeing White Ghouls back.

The battle was so strange. If this group of White Ghouls had stubbornly refused to yield and continued to besiege the group, perhaps in a few minutes, Han Jiangxue would have led the team to escape.

But when this group of White Ghouls collapsed and turned to flee, Han Jiangxue dragged them back one by one.

White Ghouls who had no intention of fighting and only cared about fleeing were completely different creatures from White Ghouls who charged forward fearlessly and fought to the death.

"My star power is insufficient," Xia Yan suddenly shouted.

Han Jiangxue's outstretched palm paused slightly and slowly lowered. Several White Ghouls quickly disappeared into the snow forest within her sight, never to be seen again.

A few minutes later, everything settled down.

Originally, this was a vast expanse of white snow, but now, it had been stained red with blood, emitting a pungent smell of blood. Corpses lay scattered all over the ground, blood flowing into rivers, making for an extremely bloody scene.

"Hey, don't be angry," Xia Yan said, feigning nonchalance as she harvested Star Beads, her eyes not daring to look at Han Jiangxue, as she spoke.

Han Jiangxue silently looked at Xia Yan, her voice no longer cold but rather calm: "I am willing to pay the price for any of your actions."

Xia Yan took out a Star Bead, but the action of biting her lip betrayed her seemingly careless appearance.

She knew that Han Jiangxue was telling the truth. This was a deep friendship that the two had cultivated from one life-or-death situation after another.

"But he can't. He is a newly awakened child. He has no ability to change the situation, no ability to make up for your mistakes, and not even the ability to protect himself," Han Jiangxue said calmly, "Xia Yan, he is my brother."

"Stop talking, stop talking," Xia Yan's voice became smaller and smaller, truly opening Jiang Xiao's eyes. A fearless female soldier actually had such a gentle and obedient side, "I really was a bit on edge because of Little Pi's blessing... no, it's not his fault, it's because I was too excited."

While the deities were arguing, the little devil was naturally... harvesting Star Beads at lightning speed.

He was getting rich!

Slaughter really does change a person.

A week ago, Jiang Xiao was still a weakling who felt disgusted and nauseous and dared not touch corpses.

But now, facing the hellish scene of blood flowing into rivers, Jiang Xiao remained calm as if he had entered Charlie's Chocolate Factory.

He didn't know if it was dangerous, but the chocolates and caramels were definitely real.

Although it was called an argument, according to Han Jiangxue's personality, it was indeed difficult to argue with anyone, after all, she had never been an enthusiastic and cheerful person from beginning to end.

A cold war might be more suitable for the current situation. Han Jiangxue never opened her mouth again after saying a few words.

While harvesting Star Beads, Xia Yan was thinking about how to make her friend happy.

At this time, Jiang Xiao had already opened his Inner Star Map.

After preliminary calculation, he had harvested about 22 White Ghoul Star Beads this time.

The Southeast Route was indeed the route explored the least by Awakened teams. It was full of dangers and had a large number of other-dimensional creatures.

In the past 7 days, the trio had also encountered a White Ghoul population led by a White Ghoul Witch. In that battle, the trio seized 17 Star Beads.

In addition to the lone White Ghouls hunted along the way, they also contributed 31 Star Beads.

Excluding the Star Beads absorbed by the trio during the battle, Jiang Xiao had a total of 28 Star Beads in his pack.

In order to help Jiang Xiao improve the quality of his Star Techniques, Xia Yan deliberately restrained herself from absorbing Star Beads.

And Han Jiangxue was even more terrifying. In the past 7 days, she had only absorbed 2 White Ghoul Star Beads, relying almost entirely on absorbing Star Power during rest.

This aloof young lady was really going all out for Jiang Xiao.

She was going so far that Jiang Xiao felt a little sorry for her.

Getting back to the point, 28 Star Beads, plus the current 22...

It seemed that the Gold-quality "Azure Glow" and "Endurance" were not far away?

Character: Jiang Xiao.

I. Star Map:

Big Dipper Nine Stars, Star Dust Stage Lv.4.

II. Star Techniques:

1. Blessing, Bronze Quality Lv.3.

2. Decoy, Bronze Quality Lv.3.

3. Azure Glow, Silver Quality Lv.3 (110).

4. Endurance, Silver Quality Lv.3 (110).

III. Basic Techniques:

1. Hand-to-Hand Combat, Bronze Quality Lv.9.

2. Abundant Star Power, Bronze Quality Lv.3.

3. Dagger Mastery, Bronze Quality Lv.5.

IV. Skill Points: 3.

"Theoretically speaking, if I absorb them all, the Silver-quality Star Techniques would reach Lv.8. Should I restrain myself a little?" Jiang Xiao thought, frowning.

If the Silver-quality "Azure Glow" was something the world had seen, then the Gold-quality "Azure Glow" was absolutely impossible.

This was a problem, and another problem...

Jiang Xiao's total Star Power couldn't keep up. Once it was upgraded to Gold quality, he was afraid that half of his Star Power would disappear with one punch.

While thinking, Jiang Xiao's hands didn't slow down. As soon as he squatted down, he felt the twitching of the White Ghoul's body under his feet.

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao, like an executioner who had been working for many years, directly pierced the other party's black face with his dagger.

"Bronze Hundred Kills, Skill Point +1."

Good heavens, this was amazing...
