Chapter 34 The Former Great Power of the Jia Ma Empire
Chapter 34 The Ten Strongest Figures of the Gama Empire
The girl in military uniform is seventeen years old this year. Having lived to this age, she can be said to have gotten whatever she wanted.
This was the first time she had encountered someone like Xiao Chen who dared to disrespect her.
She also knew that the people around her from childhood to adulthood were not afraid of her, but of her father.
One of the ten strongest figures in the former Jia Ma Empire, a Dou Huang powerhouse who was on par with Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.
Duan Ruifeng!
So, this was the first time she had ever experienced such a terrible feeling.
Xiao Chen's dismissive attitude towards arguing with her was especially infuriating.
However, when she heard the guard's suggestion, she gritted her teeth and refused.
She may be angry, but she's not the kind of vicious woman who would kill someone if provoked.
"From now on, no matter how dangerous that guy is, don't try to save him unless he begs me for help himself!"
After taking a deep breath, the girl in military uniform gave her instructions.
She didn't lower her voice, as if she was deliberately speaking to Xiao Chen.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen only left him with his back turned.
He didn't even turn his head.
This made the girl in military uniform so angry that she felt a burning urge to bite back.
She took several deep breaths, fearing that she would lose control of her anger and actually rush up to beat Xiao Chen up herself.
"Miss, don't be angry. Brother Xiao Chen is no ordinary person."
Yin Yuandong noticed the unusual atmosphere, walked up to the girl in military uniform, and explained with a forced smile.
"Is he that powerful?" the girl in military uniform scoffed.
Yin Yuandong immediately said with a proud look, "Of course! In the martial arts tournament in my hometown, Brother Xiao Chen outshone everyone else and won first place! This event has caused a sensation in several surrounding cities, and everyone is talking about Brother Xiao Chen's fame."
The girl in military uniform paused, seemingly understanding something. Her gaze fixed on Xiao Chen's retreating figure in the distance, she said, "So that's it! No wonder you were so smug all the way here; you won first place in a small-town martial arts tournament!"
At this point, Yin Yuandong was speechless.
How can such a young girl be so ungrateful?
Yin Yuandong shook his head helplessly, too lazy to say anything more to her.
Boom!
Just then, a muffled rumble of thunder sounded from the distant horizon.
Dust fell in clumps from the beams of the main hall.
The girl in military uniform was also startled and looked up at the outside of the main hall.
"Miss, it's going to rain."
The middle-aged man in the black robe frowned.
The next moment, accompanied by muffled thunder, a torrential downpour began, and the only sound outside the hall was the dense patter of raindrops.
The cluster of crosses in the distance was shrouded in thick, gloomy darkness and rain, with occasional flashes of lightning in the clouds, making it appear particularly eerie.
"Uncle Gong, it's too dark, quickly light a campfire."
The middle-aged man in black robes dared not delay and ordered, "You few, quickly light the bonfire. You few, go and dispose of the corpses, and then guard outside the main hall."
The guards immediately began to move.
Soon, a bonfire was lit, dispelling the gloomy and chilly atmosphere in the hall.
The girls in military uniforms sat on the ground around the campfire.
Some of the guards took out the food they carried with them and presented it to the girl in military uniform.
With milk, meat, and snacks, it was quite a feast.
The girl in military uniform took some meat and snacks, handed them to Little Fairy Doctor, and said, "Eat."
After thanking him, Little Fairy Doctor presented the food to Xiao Chen.
Seeing this, the girl in military uniform snorted, but did not say anything to stop her.
Time passed slowly.
The group of girls in military uniforms had all eaten and drunk their fill.
But it was still pouring rain outside.
Xiao Chen took out three specially made bamboo chairs.
He was the first to lie down comfortably.
Xiao Jin also jumped onto a bamboo chair.
Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, then lay down on the last bamboo chair.
Seeing this, the girl in military uniform snorted and had the middle-aged man in black robes bring out a reclining chair.
clap clap clap!
Outside, a fierce wind and torrential rain raged, but inside the hall, a warm bonfire burned.
The middle-aged man in black robes held a jet-black bone knife across his knees, facing the entrance of the main hall, his back straight, eyes closed in meditation.
The other guards were talking in hushed tones.
Yin Yuandong huddled by the campfire, head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Suddenly, the girl in military uniform seemed a little impatient and muttered, "So much time has passed, why haven't that old man's accomplices arrived yet?"
The voice just fell.
Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Oh oh oh!
A black torrent suddenly burst open the tightly closed door.
A huge gust of cold wind swept in, igniting the burning campfire and sending countless sparks flying.
The entire hall was plunged into darkness.
"Protect the young lady!"
"What the hell are these things?"
"Oh no, it's a swarm of ghost-faced insects!"
The main hall was in complete chaos.
The battle erupted instantly, with the sounds of weapons clashing and the sharp, piercing chirping of insects filling the air.
At the same time, Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes widened. Just as she was about to make a move, she felt her body lighten and was pulled into someone's arms.
Just as she was about to struggle and scream, she heard Xiao Chen's calm voice, tinged with a faint smile: "Don't be afraid."
Little Fairy Doctor paused for a moment, then nodded obediently and stopped struggling.
The horde of ghost-faced insects, slightly larger than a human head, swarmed in, which Xiao Chen found quite amusing.
He took out a pale blue longsword, and with a flash of cold light, he pierced through the dozen or so ghost-faced insects that were rushing towards him from the void.
Although it was pitch black, the sword light made it a sight to behold as Xiao Chen took down one enemy after another with a single strike.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, felt a strange sense of pleasure, as if he were playing Fruit Ninja.
A cold wind howled, and the door banged loudly.
Under the cover of rain, countless masked insects seized the opportunity to rush in.
The battle continues.
Xiao Chen remained standing still, and whenever a ghost-faced insect approached, a flash of sword light would appear.
He never made a mistake and seemed extremely relaxed.
Half an hour later.
A piercing, strange sound suddenly rang out from the dark rain curtain in the distance of the main hall.
This is like a signal.
As if summoned, the ghost-faced insects in the main hall scurried outwards.
"Don't chase, light the fire first!"
A steady voice from the middle-aged man in black robes rang out in the darkness.
Soon, the campfire was relit, and the light dispelled the darkness.
At this moment, the hall was in complete disarray.
The middle-aged man in black robes and a group of guards surrounded the girl in military uniform, their expressions all solemn.
Xiao Chen looked around and said gently to the Little Fairy Doctor beside him, "It's alright for now."

But at that moment, one of the guards' expressions suddenly changed. "Miss, Lu Yan and the others!"
Near the gate, several shriveled human-shaped husks lay sprawled out, their flesh and blood completely devoured, their fate extremely tragic.
The girl in military uniform opened her eyes wide, her pretty face pale.
This was the first time in her life she had ever witnessed such a bloody scene!
Moreover, he was a bodyguard who was close to her.
She was filled with both sadness and anger, her feelings were very complicated.
"Miss, life and death are commonplace on the Dou Qi Continent. Please don't be too sad."
The middle-aged man in black robes stepped forward and gently comforted him, "The reason Lord Duan agreed to let me bring you here is so that you can experience more things. Only through experience can you grow."
The girl in military uniform sounded somewhat dejected: "But I never imagined that people would die in this operation."
"This is just the beginning."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen spoke up: "The Ghost-Faced Insects are just their first wave of attacks. The most important thing now is to prepare for battle, not to be sad and upset."
The girl in military uniform immediately retorted angrily, "What does my business have to do with you? During the fight just now, I didn't see you doing anything special; you were the one who dodged faster than anyone else!"
Xiao Chen ignored her, but suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked outside the main hall.
A figure slowly walked in from outside.
