172: Chapter 172 Fix the door first

"Bang!"

The door of the tin house was kicked open.

Fierce Fury led four members of the Golden Lion Squad and stormed in aggressively.

"What a huge commotion!"

Fierce Fury greedily scanned the room, his gaze finally fixing on the blood-covered Chen Xi and Su Xiaoxiao, who was hovering in mid-air.

"Oh? Did you suffer a backlash while practicing?"

Looking at the weak Chen Xi on the ground, a sinister smile appeared on Fierce Fury's face:

"Kid, what was that energy fluctuation just now? Hand over the treasure, and I might consider calling an ambulance for you."

The members behind him also drew their weapons and blocked the doorway:

"Don't play dead! We all saw that celestial phenomenon earlier! A divine artifact must have appeared!"

"Be sensible and hand it over quickly, otherwise, in this wilderness, no one would know if a few people died!"

Li Murou and Ye Fei hurriedly blocked in front of Chen Xi, glaring at these uninvited guests with red eyes:

"Get out! You are not welcome here!"

"Get out?"

Fierce Fury laughed loudly, releasing his Lv.38 Berserker aura without reservation, directly forcing the two girls to stumble back:

"Two wet-behind-the-ears brats, and you think you're qualified to talk to me?"

"Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for being impolite!"

With that, Fierce Fury drew the golden greatsword from his back and slashed down at Chen Xi on the ground!

He wanted to make an example of him!

"Captain Chen!!"

Li Murou screamed in despair.

Chen Xi was in a period of weakness at this moment and was completely unable to dodge.

But as he watched the incoming greatsword, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes; instead, a mocking sneer curled at the corners of his mouth.

Because... someone was faster than him.

"Zzz—"

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor was there any deafening thunder. There was only an extremely faint sound of electricity that made everyone's heart stop.

Fierce Fury's greatsword stopped abruptly just one centimeter above Chen Xi's head.

Because a slender, fair hand, looking like a piece of art, had gently pinched the sharp blade.

Just two fingers.

"What?!"

Fierce Fury's pupils shook, and he tried desperately to press down, only to find that the greatsword in his hand seemed to be welded in the void, immovable.

He looked up in horror.

He met a pair of purple-gold eyes that lacked any emotion, as if galaxies were swirling within their pupils.

Su Xiaoxiao.

Or rather—Void Thunder Punishment Valkyrie.

At this moment, her feet were three inches off the ground, her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and there was no lightning wrapped around her body, yet the surrounding space was slightly distorted.

"Are you even qualified... to touch him?"

Su Xiaoxiao's voice was no longer cool, but carried a sense of indifference and majesty that seemed to come from a higher dimension.

"Pretending to be a god!"

A huge sense of fear welled up in Fierce Fury's heart, but he refused to believe it and roared:

"Brothers! Attack together! Take her out!"

The remaining four Golden Lion Squad members immediately activated their skills, hurling fireballs, arrows, and charges all at once towards Su Xiaoxiao.

However.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't even glance at them.

She just gently raised the hand that was pinching the blade, and then in the void... lightly tapped.

"【Thunder Punishment Domain】."

Wum—!!!

In an instant, the world inside the room turned black and white.

All movements were frozen, and all sounds were swallowed.

Only—thunder!

Countless purple-black void divine thunders erupted directly from within every enemy's body without warning!

They didn't strike from the sky, but exploded directly from inside their bodies!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!"

There was no screaming.

The four members of the Golden Lion Squad, along with Fierce Fury, had lightning erupt from every pore on their bodies in an instant.

Their S-grade armor, which they were so proud of, was like paper in front of the void thunder, instantly turning into powder.

"Boom!"

The five people were like kites with broken strings, blown directly out of the tin house and crashing heavily onto the open ground of the camp.

They were charred all over, their meridians completely severed, with only air going out and none coming in.

One finger.

An entire veteran A-grade strong team wiped out.

The whole scene was deathly silent.

Su Xiaoxiao slowly landed, the light on her body receding, returning to her original appearance, only her temperament had become even more ethereal.

She didn't pay attention to the onlookers outside who were scared silly.

Instead, she turned around immediately and helped Chen Xi up from the ground, her eyes full of heartache and tenderness:

"Captain... I succeeded."

Chen Xi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the five unlucky guys outside who were dead or alive, and then looked at the girl in front of him who was like a deity, laughing heartily:

"Good!"

"From today on, this South District..."

"Nirvana calls the shots!!"

...

Outside the No. 8 tin house at the Adventurer Camp.

As the five members of the Golden Lion Squad were blown away like dead dogs, the entire camp fell into a brief and eerie silence, followed by an uproar that erupted like a tide.

"My god... one finger? Just one finger?!"

"That's the Golden Lion Squad! An A-grade strong team with an average level of Lv.38! That captain named Fierce Fury is even a ruthless person with one foot already stepping across the threshold of the second turn, and he was actually one-shot?"

"That woman... what kind of profession is that purple-haired woman? Just now, with that aura, I felt like I wanted to kneel!"

The onlookers, who were Professionals, looked at the figure hovering in mid-air, overlooking all living things like a deity, their eyes filled with unprecedented awe and fear.

In this world where the strong are respected, this battle completely established the unshakeable status of the Nirvana Battle Team in the South District camp.

Inside the house.

Su Xiaoxiao slowly landed, and the suffocating divine radiance on her body gradually receded. Her originally deep blue long hair had now turned into a more mysterious and noble purple-silver color, and it seemed as if thunder was being born and dying in her eyes.

"Captain, how are you?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly walked to Chen Xi's side and carefully helped him up. The look of indifference to all living things from just a moment ago instantly vanished, replaced by full concern and anxiety.

"Cough, cough... I'm fine, I won't die."

Chen Xi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling his functions, though empty, rapidly recovering inside his body, and grinned:

"It was worth it! It was damn well worth it!"

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao's current state, and the excitement in his eyes could not be suppressed.

SS-grade profession—【Void Thunder Punishment Valkyrie】!

This is an existence that surpasses the conventional Professional system!

"Is this... the power of the void?"

Li Murou leaned over and carefully poked Su Xiaoxiao's arm, finding no sensation of electric shock, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, her eyes full of little stars:

"Sister Xiaoxiao, you are so cool right now! That move just now was simply awesome!"

"Alright, stop with the chatter."

Chen Xi waved his hand, his expression returning to seriousness:

"The commotion this time was too big. Although it deterred the petty thieves, it will inevitably attract more attention from the higher-ups."

"Xiao Xiao just advanced, her realm still needs to be stabilized. I also need to recover from my injuries."

"Fix the door first. We're not seeing anyone tonight; everyone rests!"
