29: Jiang Yao, a hero saves the beauty

Xiao Panxue’s instinctive action warmed Su Yan’s heart.

He held his Sanction skill in his hand, ready to deal with the incoming enemies at any time.

At this moment, in the direction of the woods to the right front, the air suddenly became restless.

Buzz!

A tearing sound suddenly erupted from the woods, followed by a wild wind that swept in rapidly.

Wherever the wild wind passed, it was like dry weeds before a flame, uprooting trees along the way and forming a small storm with astonishing destructive power.

The storm lunged straight at Su Yan and Xiao Panxue!

"Courting death!"

However, facing the storm of this surprise attack, Xiao Panxue’s face turned cold, and a cold snort escaped her cherry lips.

Boom!

As the wild wind swept through the bushes and was about to touch the two of them...

Xiao Panxue’s slender white wrist flicked, and red flames suddenly ignited at her wrist as she struck out with a palm toward the storm.

Bang!

The palm wind exhaled endless flames, which slammed into the storm, erupting in a violent roar.

The next moment.

The storm vanished abruptly.

A tall figure was sent flying over a hundred meters away.

"Shit, it's actually an expert!"

The figure scrambled up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared straight at Xiao Panxue with violent eyes.

"Su Yan, are you okay?"

However, Xiao Panxue didn't even look at the opponent. She simply released her Aura to protect her surroundings and turned her face to ask behind her.

A look of admiration appeared in Su Yan’s eyes as he shook his head gently. "I'm fine."

"Listen to me, the opponents might be thugs. You must stay close to me."

As Xiao Panxue gave these instructions, her right wrist flicked again. In a flash of light, a white Knight sword appeared in her hand.

"Mhm."

Su Yan agreed without hesitation.

His dark eyes looked at the injured person a hundred meters away, triggering his Eye of the Gods Talent.

[This person is preliminarily determined to be a murderous thug, Divine Punishment Rank 162, Private Rank 4. There is no need for you to act; your good sister can easily handle it.]

After reading the information, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Buzz buzz!

Unexpectedly, another disturbance sounded in the woods. Two more figures dashed out, rushing to the injured man's side with lightning speed.

"What's the situation with you? How did you get injured?"

"Boss, that beauty is an expert. Her Private Rank is at least five!"

"Beauty? Where is the beauty?"

"Boss, the focus isn't the beauty!"

"I know that, of course. So the beauty you mentioned is... her?"

A hundred meters away, an ugly man with dyed Yellow Hair and wearing a white striped shirt turned his excited eyes toward Xiao Panxue.

When he saw Xiao Panxue’s hot figure and exquisitely beautiful face...

His eyes instantly widened, and his face fell into a state of extremely distorted excitement.

"Tsk tsk, this face, this figure, these big breasts... Brothers, I want this woman!"

"Catch her alive for me!"

Hearing Yellow Hair’s foul language...

Su Yan was furious. Damn, where did this yellow-haired guy come from, daring to insult Sister Xue?

I'll blast you into dregs with a single Sanction!

[Yellow Hair, Divine Punishment Rank 169, Private Rank 4. Fatty, Divine Punishment Rank 165, Private Rank 4.]

[Don't be impulsive; your good sister can handle it.]

He almost couldn't help but take action, but the Eye of the Gods stopped him in time.

Su Yan quickly calmed down.

These three people's Divine Punishment Ranks were all higher than Xiao Panxue's, yet they only had the strength of Private Rank 4, which meant their actual strength was inferior to Xiao Panxue's.

And the judgment of the Eye of the Gods wouldn't be wrong. Since it said Xiao Panxue could handle it, she definitely could.

Even if she couldn't, he could completely release his Divine Domain to help secretly.

Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn't help but look at Xiao Panxue.

He saw Xiao Panxue standing proudly against the morning sun, her towering chest exceptionally dazzling. Her eyes showed disdain as she pointed her Knight sword at Yellow Hair.

"Answer me, did you kill people?"

Yellow Hair laughed loudly. "So what! Let me tell you, beauty, not only did we kill everyone in this park..."

"But we're also going to drag you into the small woods right away and let you taste the power of my marksmanship!"

When Xiao Panxue heard that they had indeed killed people, her eyebrows furrowed deeply. Her surrounding Aura became cold and sharp as she said coldly:

"Those are your last words."

"Hmph! You're just a Private Rank 5 Knight! Brothers, let's take care of her together!"

Yellow Hair called out fiercely and immediately assumed a combat stance.

He exerted force with both feet, and the floor tiles beneath him instantly shattered into dregs.

"Boss, what about that kid?"

"He's just a pretty boy, a piece of trash who needs a woman's protection. Just slaughter him!"

"Yes!"

"Go!"

The three figures instantly split into three directions, turning into whistling black shadows as they charged at Xiao Panxue simultaneously.

These three were extremely fast, but in Su Yan’s eyes, it was as if they were moving in slow motion.

Xiao Panxue was enraged.

A look of loathing appeared on her normally calm face. Two strands of bangs on her forehead moved without any wind, and her Aura suddenly became violent.

Clang!

A brilliant sword light flashed; Xiao Panxue had made her move!

"Who dares touch Panxue!"

Unexpectedly, just at this moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out from the side.

Then came the sound of a sonic boom.

A figure in black clothes charged out like lightning, blocking the way in front of Xiao Panxue. His fist glowed with brilliant golden light as he threw a punch.

Bang!

The heavy punch, carrying the momentum of wind and thunder, slammed into the head of the injured man. That man's head instantly exploded, splattering blood everywhere.

"Third Brother!"

Yellow Hair and Fatty cried out in shock.

In their utter dismay, they hurriedly stopped their charge and quickly retreated to a safe distance.

The newcomer could kill a Private Rank 4 with a single punch; his strength was bound to be far greater than theirs!

"Panxue, are you okay?"

However, after throwing that punch, the newcomer did not pursue them. Instead, he turned around and asked Xiao Panxue with concern.

This person was particularly tall, a full head taller than the 1.7-meter-tall Xiao Panxue.

He had short hair, wore an earring, and was somewhat handsome.

Xiao Panxue said in surprise, "Jiang Yao, why is it you?"

"It's quite a coincidence. I happened to be passing by the park and immediately rushed over when I heard the sound of fighting. I didn't expect it to be you, Panxue."

Jiang Yao explained quickly, his face showing concern.

Holy crap, what's the deal here?

Su Yan frowned as he watched this uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He knew this Jiang Yao.

Or rather, his original self did.

Last year, he awakened the A-Rank Talent 'Raging Thunder' and was on the Jiangnan TV news, causing quite a stir for a while.

Moreover, Jiang Yao was from their No. 2 High School.

Yes, he was Jiang Hao’s older brother.

Because he worked hard enough, combined with the "little bit" of support from his family background as the wealthiest family in Jiangnan City...

He eventually achieved a high score in the National College Entrance Examination, second only to Xiao Panxue, and was also admitted to Imperial Capital University.

Of course, that wasn't the problem.

The problem was...

As early as high school, Jiang Yao had been madly pursuing Xiao Panxue.

Although the two were not in the same school—one was in No. 1 High School and the other in No. 2 High School...

Jiang Yao relied on his family's wealth to frequently spend lavishly, going to No. 1 High School to curry favor with Xiao Panxue.

And as for him appearing so coincidentally this time, to be honest, Su Yan didn't quite believe it was a coincidence.

[Jiang Yao, Divine Punishment Rank 160, Private Rank 6; his strength improvement speed is ranked third in the entire Human Race.]

Seeing the prompt given by the Eye of the Gods...

Su Yan widened his eyes.

No way, right?

Is this Jiang Yao on drugs? He only has an A-Rank Talent, so how could he level up so fast?

He’s actually faster than Xiao Panxue, who has an S-Rank Talent!

Ranked third in the entire Human Race? That's just too ridiculous!

Just as Su Yan was in shock and doubt...

Xiao Panxue said indifferently, "I'm fine. You can leave. A few mere thugs pose no threat to me."

Jiang Yao seemed to have long been accustomed to Xiao Panxue’s coldness. He didn't leave but instead glanced at Su Yan and smiled:

"Panxue, is he the boyfriend you mentioned?"

This seemed like a casual remark.

Xiao Panxue didn't answer, but a slight blush suddenly appeared on her mature and elegant face.

What's going on now?

Su Yan was slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood something. He stood up and said frankly:

"That's right, I am her boyfriend. Is there anything else, Senior Jiang?"

"Su Yan, you..."

Xiao Panxue gave him a strange look.

Jiang Yao’s expression was peculiar, and a hard-to-detect sinister look flowed through his eyes. He then ignored Su Yan and smiled at Xiao Panxue:

"Panxue, it seems your boyfriend's strength isn't quite up to par; he actually needs you to protect him when facing danger."

At this point, Jiang Yao looked at Yellow Hair and Fatty not far away, cracking his knuckles.

"Regardless, I am a gentleman, so how can I let a lady do the fighting? Give me two minutes, and I'll deal with the remaining thugs for you!"

After saying that, a violent and powerful lightning element Aura erupted from his body, and Jiang Yao charged out like a cannonball.

Damn, this was such a forced display of posturing!

Watching this, Su Yan felt very displeased.

Most importantly, Jiang Yao actually dared to say his strength wasn't up to par?

Want to play the hero saving the beauty?

I'll let you save nothing!

So, as Jiang Yao charged out, Su Yan decisively activated his Divine Domain.

Swoosh!

In an instant, a transparent Domain expanded with Su Yan as the center, like an inverted colored glass bowl, covering the nearby 100-meter range.

He chose Jiang Yao as the target without hesitation.

[Jiang Yao's All Attributes -50%]

The debuff was instantly applied to Jiang Yao.

However, Jiang Yao was completely unaware. Carrying his innate confidence, he charged fiercely toward Yellow Hair and Fatty.
