Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 126: Arriving Just in Time
This time, even Cheng Jia and Cheng Ran halfway up the mountain were so frightened that they covered each other’s mouths tightly, fearing that they might scream. They could only stare with wide, misty eyes at the tragic scene below, tears falling onto the backs of their hands.
Just as the palm wind was about to strike Cheng Dashan, a hairpin swiftly flew by with a piercing sound, catching the ears of the fourth chief. His palm wind suddenly changed direction and crashed into the flying object, instantly turning the hairpin to powder.
"My hairpin!" Cheng Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise!
Are their powers really this strong?
If she’d known earlier, she would’ve asked the system to get her a stone. She acted too hastily in a moment of crisis without thinking it through, taking out the hairpin because it resembled a dart. She hadn’t expected this outcome.
Seeing the girl’s heartache, Dongfang Xu calmly said, "I’ll buy you a new one next time."
"Who wants your hairpin."
As they spoke, they were already in front of Cheng Dashan and his son.
"Quick, kill them all! A disgusting bunch!" Thinking of the bandits’ deeds at the camp, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt that letting them breathe any longer was a waste.
Looking around at the courtyard full of injured people, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt a headache. If only Grandpa Xue were here.
Upon seeing Cheng Xiaoxiao, the villagers of Qingshan Village wept with joy as if seeing a life-saving straw, showing relieved smiles one after another.
"Xiaoxiao is back!"
"Xiao is back! That’s great!"
They knew Coach Leng had gone out with Xiaoxiao, and with Coach Leng’s high martial skills, he would surely defeat the bandits.
Huh!
Where is Coach Leng? Everyone looked around, but besides the man wearing a veil hat, Coach Leng was nowhere to be seen!
The bandits were dumbfounded. How could another Cheng Yaojin appear, and apparently, his martial arts weren’t low.
The fourth chief looked angrily at the newcomer, then at the charming Cheng Xiaoxiao, and laughed loudly!
"Are you bringing girls for us?"
Although the newcomer was strong, his elder brother hadn’t even made a move yet!
Because Cheng Xiaoxiao had system prompts, she knew from afar that Cheng Beiniu was in danger, so she prepared the hairpin for Dongfang Xu.
Dongfang Xu, on one hand, had to hold Cheng Xiaoxiao in flight, while on the other he needed to expertly throw the hairpin, using only one-tenth of his Qi Force.
This gave the fourth chief the illusion that the newcomer was at most on the same level as his elder brother.
Feeling confident, he became fearless.
His words grew wilder, filled with sneers and mockery.
Seeing the light in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes, the fourth chief thought she’d be perfect for his elder brother, much better than the previous ones.
Feeling good, the fourth chief generously said, "Little girl, what’s the point of being with this pretty boy? Our chief is mighty and strong, follow him, and you’ll have a life of luxury and no worries."
Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke expressionlessly, "Villains die from talking too much!"
The fourth chief was taken aback, "This little girl has quite a personality. My brother will definitely like her."
Weren’t they villains themselves? Yet they were living quite well.
With this thought, he laughed out loud again!
But just as his laughter echoed in the air, his head rolled to the ground.
There was a moment of eerie silence at the scene.
The headless body stood there, blood gushing from the neck.
A raised hand in mid-air moved mechanically, terrifying and bizarre.
It’s as if the body had received a command from its owner, not completed before its demise.
Three or four seconds later, with a bang! The body fell to the ground, a splash of blood and dust.
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
At this moment, the soul-stirring shock frightened the men, women, and children witnessing the scene, their hearts seeming to pause.
In the eerie silence, the mysterious atmosphere, no one saw how Dongfang Xu made his move.
The once arrogant fourth chief just met his maker.
After the villagers’ terrified screams, they collectively gulped, the reversal was too fast and direct, leaving them in shock.
At this moment, a crisp voice rang out, "The villain has met his end!"
Everyone naturally recalled the saying from Cheng Xiaoxiao’s stories, "And so the villain met his end!"
Back then, when Cheng Xiaoxiao told the children stories, when the villain died, she’d say they met their end, and the excited kids would tell their parents and elders, and soon the whole village knew this phrase.
Everyone turned to look at the young Cheng Yinhuo, who had just been rescued.
Well!
The adults were less composed than a child, which was quite embarrassing; it’s just a dead bandit, after all?
Killed well!
Killed wonderfully!
They need to learn to stay calm, not be startled by a child.
As everyone adjusted their mindset, suddenly they saw a blur, and dozens of men in black appeared on the field.
Their barely settled hearts jumped to their throats again.
What’s happening?
Seeing everyone gathered, Cheng Xiaoxiao coldly ordered, "Kill them all, not leaving a single one."
The stunned villagers, looking at the fierce-faced young girl, felt a chill in their hearts, thinking Xiao seemed a bit terrifying; they felt a cool air around them, what’s going on?
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned around, smiling brightly at everyone, "Uncles and aunts, no need to be afraid, these are helpers I’ve invited."
Seeing Xiao’s bright smile, so gentle and sweet, they thought it must have been an illusion earlier, definitely a mistake.
Xiao is kind-hearted, helpful, and it was thanks to her that they were saved this time.
They should really thank her, and treat her like their own daughter from now on.
Then everyone’s expressions also softened.
Cheerfully saying, "That’s great! The helpers are here, we no longer need to fear the bandits."
"Exactly," everyone agreed, all looking over there, wondering who the black-clad people were, and how strong they were.
Soon they saw the fierce bandits who had previously beaten them to a pulp being dispatched by a throat-slashing sword, as if it were as simple as cutting watermelon.
The villagers gulped again, suspecting the bandits they had fought earlier were fakes, made of mud perhaps!
Everyone glanced at each other, each with swollen faces, covered in scars, feeling the pain doubled.
Hiss!
Accidentally touching a wound, it hurt! It really hurt!
The feeling couldn’t be more real.
The gap was truly astonishing!
At least they had learned martial arts for quite a while.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was already bent over, checking Cheng Beiniu’s injuries, while the men’s inner complaints remained unspoken.
From inside the house, Dahua ran to Cheng Xiaoxiao, hugging her arm, crying and laughing, "Xiaoxiao, you’re amazing, I knew you’d save us."
The cheerful Dahua completely forgot who had saved her earlier.
Even the system couldn’t help but roll its eyes, women are truly fickle.
This girl really didn’t like Cheng Dashan much!
Telling lies with open eyes.
Seeing Dahua tightly hugging her, she patted her hand, "It’s safe now, Dahua, gather all the injured villagers for coordinated treatment." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Too happy for the moment, Cheng Dahua flinched at the reminder, recalling her mother with a dislocated arm, and she couldn’t contain her composure, racing outside.
