Nine Star Burden

iangxue?

His biggest mistake was to think that Han Jiangxue, a person who would pursue stability, would never take the risk by using Sky Smasher during such a competition.

The sadder thing for Zhang Mingming was that there was no way he could stop Han Jiangxue despite having realized that she would use Sky Smasher.

Han Jiangxue rolled her eyes and looked at the dejected and helpless Shield Warrior, Zhang Weiliang.

Han Jiangxue looked past Zhang Weiliang’s figure and saw Yu Zhen’s figure on the stretcher.

At this time, Yu Zhen was no longer as arrogant as before.
Her clothes were tattered and she was dripping with blood.
Blood was also flowing from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were dark and glassed over, and she was staring at the hazy sky in shock.

Before, she was the powerful figure looking down on everyone in the Arsenal while dominating and defeating her enemies with the Dark Blue Scepter.

However, after meeting Han Jiangxue’s team, she was given a Blessing from Jiang Xiao, which allowed Zhang Hui to seize the opportunity to throw out two Flame Arcs, causing her to be blasted out of the Arsenal.

The Medical Star Warriors of the competition were indeed very strong.
They healed the passed out and heavily injured Yu Zhen, allowing her to be fully engaged in the semi-finals while being in her best state.

Within just one day, Yu Zhen was “admitted” and then “discharged” from the hospital.

However, she was discharged quickly, but she was also admitted soon again…

What could be done in 29 seconds?

Han Jiangxue could answer that question now.

Those 29 seconds could signify the change in fate for both teams.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao seated on the ground and cutting off the vines around his ankle at this moment.

She walked towards him, and at the instant that she raised her leather boots, Gao Junwei began shivering like a startled bird and crawled away.

Han Jiangxue was slightly stunned and thought, Is this how a normal person should behave?

Is he that intimidated? He’s almost on the verge of breaking down…

Has Gao Junwei developed a psychological issue? Like claustrophobia or something? Was it because of my Sky Smasher?

Of course, Han Jiangxue did not deny that everyone would react differently to the threat of death.

In all fairness, if she were locked in a space coffin by her enemy who had control over her life, she would probably go hysterical as well.

Without any firsthand experience, who would know what would have happened?

Han Jiangxue was no longer interested in finding out Gao Junwei’s mental state.
Instead, she walked towards Jiang Xiao while nodding at the proud Xia Yan.
She then shook her head at the calm Li Weiyi.

The sounds of something shattering could be heard from a separate room with a clear window in the military base.

“Captain!?!” a soldier exclaimed.

“Shut up!” a female voice barked, trying to suppress her anger.

In the reception room, the wooden coffee table was shattered, and broken pieces of porcelain cups were scattered all over the place.

A middle-aged woman with short hair was sitting on the couch with a sullen expression.
She clenched her right fist and shattered the cup in her hand.
Blood and tea flowed out from her palm together with the sizzling sound of friction between broken porcelain pieces.

The woman exhaled deeply after a long time as she shivered slightly.
Suppressing her emotions, she kept her eyes fixed on the TV screen in front of her.

The scene of the spectators applauding enthusiastically and the faces of the proud victors were displayed on the screen.

Although everything had just ended, she still couldn’t forget the sight of Gao Junwei trembling in fear.

When the girl took a step, he panicked and crawled away like a bullied stray dog.

“Useless garbage!” the short-haired woman hollered as she sat on the couch and glowered at the television.
She opened her bloody palm and flung the broken debris away before picking out the broken shards from her badly mangled fleshed with her left hand.

However, before she had even cleaned her right hand thoroughly, she suddenly sprung up in exasperation and kicked away the mess on the ground, strode forward to the TV, and smashed it with a heavy punch…

In the arena, Jiang Xiao, seated on the ground and removing the vines, suddenly shivered.

Han Jiangxue came right next to him and said softly, “The snow is getting heavier.
When we go back, put on a down jacket.”

“Okay.” Jiang Xiao expressed assent while maniacally cutting away the vines, thinking to himself that Zhang Mingming was really out to kill him.

The vines were almost intertwined around Jiang Xiao’s thigh.
They were dense, intricate, and flexible, completely restricting Jiang Xiao’s actions.
Even though Zhang Mingming had already left the arena, Jiang Xiao had yet to break free from the vines.

Fortunately, Xia Yan attacked at the right time and used her Flame Arc to stall some time.
Otherwise, Jiang Xiao would have definitely been charred by the lightning…

Bang!

A blazing wooden giant sword was inserted directly into the ground, and she removed everything.

Xia Yan flicked her short, chestnut-colored hair, on which there were some snowflakes, and said impatiently, “Come on, don’t let my Xuexue suffer in the cold with you.”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Xia Yan chided.
“What are you looking at? Hurry up.”

Jiang Xiao answered, “I want to hurry too, but I’m restricted by my abilities.”

Xia Yan was a little stunned as she felt that there was something amiss with his words.
