347: The Great River 347: The Great River “Whoo…”
Seeing Su Yuan withdraw his long knife, not only Xiong Chunyang, but even Tang Jiao beside him let out a long sigh of relief.
A stream of bloody qi flowed through Xiong Chunyang’s body. He slowly reverted from his beast form to his original state, immediately feeling much weaker, almost stumbling to the ground.
Xiong Chunyang was the first to face the enemy. Fighting against many had already inflicted severe injuries on him.
Although Su Yuan’s previous attack wasn’t fatal, it had still pierced through his body, causing significant damage.
Now that Xiong Chunyang had transformed back, the extreme physical exertion along with multiple injuries made him feel very uncomfortable.
Tang Jiao formed seals with both hands, and strands of dark light continuously entwined around Xiong Chunyang.
Xiong Chunyang instinctively tried to dodge.
“Shadow Embrace, blue healing skill,” Tang Jiao coldly snorted.
Hearing this, Xiong Chunyang stopped moving, allowing the dark light to fall on him.
Tang Jiao was injured earlier by a punch from Xiong Chunyang. Now, she repaid him with healing, demonstrating considerable teamwork.
Under the healing of Shadow Embrace, most of Xiong Chunyang’s wounds scabbed over and healed quickly, and even the ones that didn’t heal completely stopped worsening.
“Impressive.”
Su Yuan nodded quietly from the side. This healing skill was likely at the Perfect Level.
It seemed that Tang Jiao was a fairly all-purpose Star Card Master.
Reconnaissance, healing, combat, she mastered all these; truly worthy of being an elite from the military district.
Tang Jiao shook her head slightly. “It’s just a healing skill. You all are much more amazing.”
Saying this, Tang Jiao gave Su Yuan a long look.
Tang Jiao originally came from the military district and had once carried out support tasks in the Western Desert.
So, she had some understanding of the situation in the Western Desert. As one of the Twelve Evil Stars, Xiong Chunyang’s strength was something Tang Jiao could accept.
But what Tang Jiao didn’t expect was that this unremarkable graduate could so forcefully subdue the berserk Xiong Chunyang in just a moment!
It wasn’t graduation season, and the fact that he was at the Shining Star Level meant he had graduated early.
While exceptionally early graduates were rare, there were some every year. However, none seemed as unfathomable in strength as the person before her!
“I should look into this further when I get back. Such a student must have quite the reputation at the academy…”
With this in mind, Tang Jiao retrieved her Shadow Embrace.
Xiong Chunyang sensed the change in his condition and smiled broadly.
“Heh, thanks, big sister~”
After thanking her, Xiong Chunyang couldn’t help but look at Su Yuan, his eyes showing a hint of unease.
People like Xiong Chunyang, fierce wanderers of Jianghu, feared nothing.
Speak politely to him, and he’d only become more unruly.
Fight him with weapons, and he wouldn’t back down, battling to the death.
But the sudden sense of impending death just now left a deep fear of Su Yuan in Xiong Chunyang’s heart…
Tang Jiao said, “Let’s clean up and get back to the team quickly.”
“Got it!”
Xiong Chunyang immediately began tidying up.
Whoever killed the enemy naturally claimed the loot. Killing Wei Jinrui meant there were many valuable items on him.
After briefly handling the scene, the group returned to the team…
Ten kilometers away, high in the sky, Lin Chongyun’s eyes glimmered as he pondered, then put away his Thunderclap Great Bow and descended.
“Envoy Lin, how did it go?” Wu Jianghao asked.
Lin Chongyun replied, “It’s settled. They should be back soon.”
“Oh?” Wu Jianghao’s eyes brightened. “As expected… all of you Envoys are truly impressive!”
Inside the cage on the right-side Rock Dragon’s back, Wei Jinxiang’s heart sank, a strong sense of foreboding rising within him.
“Could it be… my brother, Zhang Ping, Wu Lei, they’re all…?”
Though they were far away, he had vaguely heard some noises in the distance earlier. Now, there was nothing.
Wei Jinxiang felt a shiver, too afraid to think further, hoping things weren’t as he feared.
After a while, Su Yuan, Xiong Chunyang, and Tang Jiao returned.
Except for Xiong Chunyang, who looked worse for wear, Su Yuan and Tang Jiao seemed unscathed.
Wei Jinxiang’s face turned pale, his last hope shattered. He frantically banged the chains in the cage.
“Who are you people? Are you from the Sky Patrol Department? What did you do to my men?”
With three rapid-fire questions, it was clear Wei Jinxiang was truly panicking.
