Nine Star Burden

covered its butt with both hands before flying high up the sky.

Piercing the monkey in the sky!?!

Jiang Xiao wanted to scratch his head out of habit, but the circumstance he was in didn’t allow him to do so at all.
He turned around to look at the numerous Ape Ghouls beneath his feet that were glowering at him.

Don’t just blankly look at me.
Hit me!

As Jiang Xiao began to get anxious, an Ape Ghoul finally rushed forth.

Easy does it!

Jiang Xiao looked at the Ape Ghoul with joy, after which he cast another ray of Blessing.

The Ape Ghoul winced and shuddered in the air.
It then moaned strangely while its movements became peculiar and awkward.

With a heart full of excitement and a pair of trembling hands, I’ll send you away with a toxic potion!

Jiang Xiao’s body flipped in the air and he grabbed the sword with both hands, after which he stabbed an Ape Ghoul forcefully!

Since I can’t stab upwards, I’ll stab downwards.

Bang!

The moment the blade touched the head of the Ape Ghoul, it smashed open like a bomb while the numerous Ape Ghouls below began to retreat and get away one after another.

However, two rash Ape Ghouls refused to resign to fate.
Instead, they tried to open their arms and catch the Ape Ghoul that was falling, only to fall onto the ground because of the high speed and excessive impact.
Besides, a huge pit formed in the ground as well, because the ground could not withstand the force.

At the next moment, Jiang Xiao’s giant sword fell onto the ground heavily.

He stabbed it through two Ape Ghouls.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly climbed out of the pit and frantically stabbed the seven or eight Ape Ghouls after finding them.

Great, three monkeys down!

At the same time, the other Ape Ghoul in the air had also landed.

However, Jiang Xiao didn’t have time to raise his sword and point it at the spot that he had fallen, because the Ape Ghouls had begun surrounding him again.

Decoy, leave!

To his surprise, the decoy Jiang Xiao suddenly flew up in the air again after scurrying ten steps.

During the ruckus, Jiang Xiao immediately recovered from the shock and yelled anxiously, “Han Jiangxue, I’m the real one, I’m the real one!”

My team has finally returned!

These damned output attackers have finally arrived!

Huff…

A gust of Barren Wind swept past Jiang Xiao’s feet and he suddenly got a dizzy spell, after which he leaped directly into the dense forest.
The tree branch was like a small whip that was continuously being lashed against Jiang Xiao’s body.
The leaves also gave Jiang Xiao a sense of comfort by acting as a buffer and cushion.

With a loud thud, Jiang Xiao fell straight onto the ground and landed on his buttocks.
Fortunately, he had two butt cheeks.

…

Jiang Xiao gasped in pain.

A ray of Blessing landed.

Finally, he decided to heal himself.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw him.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao, whose clothes were tattered and torn, with sympathy and distress.

Not only was Jiang Xiao still alive, he actually managed to persist so far.

What made Han Jiangxue feel even more gratified and heartened was the fact that even though Jiang Xiao was badly injured after the fall, he was still holding the wooden sword tightly in his left hand and placing it at his side.
There were also three Ape Ghoul corpses on the sword.

Regardless of what pain and hardship he had gone through, he was still full of faith in the end.

His willpower was still as firm as before.

He had never given up his hopes of survival.

While relishing in the wonderful feeling of Blessing, Jiang Xiao’s body fell backward gently and his eyes became glassed over.
He lied on his back and looked up at the top.
When he lowered his head, he met Han Jiangxue’s gaze.

Unfortunately, she was wearing military pants.

Han Jiangxue’s usually cold eyes were a little misted.
She slowly knelt down and held Jiang Xiao’s head with both hands.

While feeling giddy, Jiang Xiao murmured, “I’m just a doctor.”

Han Jiangxue’s voice was trembling as she said softly, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”

Even Jiang Xiao, who was basking in the pleasure of Blessing, could clearly sense that there was something amiss with her attitude.

She was a cold and indifferent girl, but at this moment, she showed her softer side.

Jiang Xiao felt the chilliness of her palms on his face.
Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, covering her cheeks and revealing a small portion of her face and eyes.

Jiang Xiao shook his head to distract her, after which he said, “Had you guys been a few more seconds late, I would have given up and given Xia Yan an advantage.”

Han Jiangxue’s once-in-a-blue-moon look of distress finally vanished.
Although she didn’t burst into tears, it was close.

Her radiant smile was warm enough to melt ice as she said, “Seems like you haven’t received enough of a beating.”

While in a daze, Jiang Xiao snapped his fingers.

He pointed his fingers at Han Jiangxue and nodded gently.

Watching his fluid movements, Han Jiangxue smiled silently and shook her head gently.
