Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Hmph, you're indeed a brainless dog." Xu lingchong snorted coldly. Seeing that the other party was reaching out to grab her backpack, she immediately raised her laser cannon and fired a shot without saying a word.

The man in plaits was still sneering a moment ago, but with a flash of a laser, his entire head was vaporized into thin air. The scene was so strange and bloody that even Scarface, who was a Mountain King who killed and set fires as if it was his daily routine, was dumbfounded. Everyone gasped in unison and was speechless for a long time.

Even though Scarface had been wary of him before, he had never thought that this kid would be so terrifying. From the looks of it, he was not any weaker than the armored man!

He didn't know that this had nothing to do with strength. Even an ordinary child could kill people like grass as long as they knew how to operate a laser cannon.

"Who else is there?" Xu lingchong pointed the laser cannon at the crowd with an unfriendly look on his face. Suddenly, the group of people were so scared that they covered their heads and fled like rats. The scene was chaotic.

Seeing that Xu lingchong seemed to be targeting him, the scar-faced man instantly broke out in cold sweat. In a moment of desperation, he quickly jumped out and shouted,"You bunch of blind idiots, you even dare to provoke such a great expert, you deserve to die! Didn't I already order you to entertain these two masters? are your brains filled with sh * t? how can you not remember such an important thing?"

After saying that, the scar-faced man turned around with a flattering smile and said carefully to Xu lingchong,"Young hero, please forgive me. It's all my fault for not being strict with them. I've let these disappointing fools cause you trouble. How about I find a place for you to rest? I have good spirit tea as an apology."

Scarface's sudden change of attitude stunned Xu lingchong. Since the other party had admitted defeat, he naturally wouldn't kill him. After all, the other party was a true-blue peak-level early stage mysterious Ascension realm expert. Even if he had the laser cannon in his hand, he didn't have the smart armor to protect himself. He was still trembling in fear when facing such a strong enemy.

Otherwise, Xu lingchong would not have been scared away by Huo yudie, a peak nascent soul realm cultivator. Being able to scare Scarface was already the best result for him.

"No need, I'm still in a hurry." Lingchong rejected immediately. He was afraid that the guy would notice something was wrong-he didn't dare to stay in a place like this for long. He dragged Zhaoming away immediately.

"Alright, please!" Scarface hurriedly stepped aside, and even his other underlings consciously made way for them. They respectfully watched Xu lingchong and his companion leave.

Xu lingchong dragged Kang Zhaoming towards the teleportation formation without stopping. On the other side, Huo yudie was also carrying Lin Yi, who was on the verge of death. She was extremely careful and cautious with every step she took. She could only choose the path they took when they came here to reduce the risk.

However, this way, her speed would be much slower. After all, she was not like Xu lingchong, who had a super killer weapon like the laser cannon. She could just fire a shot at anything she encountered on the way.

Along the way, Huo yudie was always on her guard at the slightest sign of danger. She couldn't be blamed for being a coward, but Lin Yi's current condition was too dangerous. He couldn't take any more of this.

Xu lingchong only spent five days to drag Kang Zhaoming to the exit of the canyon, but Huo yudie used fifteen days. Whether it was the practitioners or the spirit beasts, they were all targets that she had to avoid, so they had to take many detours along the way. From time to time, she would have to hide for half a day, so this speed really couldn't be fast.

Ten days had already passed, and the return trip took another fifteen days. By the time Huo yudie carried Lin Yi out of the ten thousand year Canyon, it wasn't far from the one month mark.

At this time, most of the cultivators should have returned to the West Island. The remaining ones were either Yuanying realm Masters who could stay for a few more days, or they had missed the time and were trapped here like Scarface and his group. There was no third type of people.

Huo yudie carried Lin Yi on her back and appeared at the exit of the canyon. The Oasis was right in front of them, and Scarface's men still hadn't left. In fact, his men had grown even stronger!

It turned out that at this moment, it was not only Scarface's original group, but even some of the trial-takers who could not leave this time had no choice but to choose to join him and become one of his subordinates.

Among the crowd, Scarface said to one of his subordinates, who was a peak Yuanying stage expert,""Han Chen, you're already at the final bottleneck of the great circle of the nascent Soul Stage. If you continue to stay here, you'll follow in my footsteps and be completely trapped in this damn place! You've been with me for so long and have done a lot for me. Even if you don't have any credit, you've worked hard. Take the things with you as a farewell gift for me!"

"Many Thanks, boss!" The Yuanying stage expert called Han Chen shed tears of gratitude on the spot.

"Yes, all of you, listen up. As long as you are my brothers, I will not let you suffer. Han Chen is your example!" Scarface took the opportunity to win over the crowd.

Sure enough, everyone's mood suddenly soared, especially those new subordinates. They were originally dejected and disheartened, but after seeing this scene, they cheered up again.

It had to be said that Scarface was indeed very good at winning over people's hearts. With Han Chen as a role model, everyone would only be more loyal to him. After all, as long as they followed him, even if they couldn't leave for the time being, they would be able to leave when they reached the bottleneck of the great circle of the nascent Soul Stage.

There was only hope and motivation. For everyone, this was undoubtedly the best ending.

That was why everyone was willing to follow him, and Scarface's method could be said to have worked time and time again. Every time he went to the trial, he could get a new batch of new blood, making his team continue to grow, and become a real local snake here.

Huo yudie looked at this scene from afar. She saw through Scarface's intention with a single glance. The reason why he sent away his little brother who had reached the bottleneck of the great circle of the original level, other than to win over people's hearts, was probably for another reason. Scarface did not want to see a second master of the xuansheng stage!

He was the only xuansheng stage expert in this place. Due to his strength, he naturally deserved to be called the local tyrant. However, if a second xuansheng stage expert appeared, then his position would not be stable. As the saying goes, a mountain can not accommodate two tigers. It might even be a situation where one of them would die.

Sending someone away could not only eliminate threats, but also gain a good reputation. It had to be said that this Scarface was a rare smart person. (To be continued.)
