“Yeah, why haven't those two come out yet?” People around them complained one after another.
Only to see the burly black man standing in the front let out a cold snort. “If they don't come out on their own, we'll force them out.” With that, he directly opened the formation.
Yong Shanling was about to break the formation. In a blink of an eye, the two of them looked at the opened formation in surprise.
The next second, they saw a dense crowd standing in front of them.
Mu Yijie's brows furrowed sharply, and his hand had already quietly taken out a weapon.
Yong Shanling stepped forward directly and asked them in a deep voice, “Are you here for us?”
“Come out and take a look. Is this the woman?” The black leader shouted at the people behind him.
Then a middle - aged man with slightly hunched shoulders, smiling obsequiously at the leader, walked out.
“Brother Johnson, it's this woman. It was her and another man who rescued those people. I'm absolutely sure. It's her.” The middle - aged man, also an Asian, was wearing a wrinkled and dirty suit, but his face looked rather gentle.
From time to time, a glint of fanaticism and hatred flashed in his eyes. Fortunately, he was smart enough to record the video in advance. Otherwise, how would he have known that there were superpowered people in the world?
And he was about to become one of them. Thinking of this, his eyes became even more eager.
The black leader impatiently pushed him back and said arrogantly, “It was you, you bitch, who smashed my place. Since you did it, you have to pay the price. My place, Brother Johnson's, is not so easy to smash.”
Yong Shanling looked at the middle - aged man, her brows furrowed tightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
She seemed to have seen this man before.
“You... Aren't you one of the people I rescued today? I clearly saved you. How could you bite the hand that feeds you?” Yong Shanling stared at him in disbelief, her fair cheeks flushed with anger.
“You still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for you showing up and taking me away from that magical place, maybe I would have become one of them by now. Besides, if you really did it for my sake, why didn't you let me become a superpowered person but instead erased our memories? You just can't stand others being like you.” The middle - aged man looked at Yong Shanling with a distorted face, his eyes full of jealousy and hatred.
Yong Shanling was almost defeated by his shameless words. Did he even know what he was talking about? Did he really think he was someone? A prey in prison actually wanted to become a hunter. What gave him the right?
“Don't use your own shamelessness as an excuse to frame others.” Mu Yijie suddenly spoke up, staring at the middle - aged man with eagle - like eyes.
“You just want to use your savior as a stepping - stone to become a superpowered person. There's no need to make it sound so noble.”
Mu Yijie's words made the middle - aged man's face turn pale. A look of guilt flashed in his eyes, but the next second, it was drowned out by intense hatred and jealousy.
“What do you know? Becoming a superpowered person has always been my dream. Besides, this was really what she did. What can't I say?” The middle - aged man argued.
“There's nothing wrong with you pursuing your dream, but first, you should understand that what I did was to save you. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't be standing here now. So I'm your savior, and what you're doing now is exposing me to my enemies. You're repaying kindness with ingratitude!”
Yong Shanling no longer hid behind Mu Yijie. Instead, she stepped forward bravely and said word by word. Throughout the process, she was well - organized and completely different from her previous lively self.
“Alright, stop blabbering here! Now we know it was you who did it. Since that's the case, guys, attack them!” The leader directly interrupted their words and waved his hand. The people behind him rushed towards Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie.
Yong Shanling didn't say a word. She just picked up the Soul - Rattling Bell and charged forward. Mu Yijie gave the middle - aged man a gloomy look and then also picked up his weapon and rushed up.
Those superpowered people directly manipulated their powers and attacked Yong Shanling. Even their close - combat attacks were very simple and straightforward, without too many fancy moves. However, it was precisely such moves that showed their killing intent.
Yong Shanling could still handle them with ease, but Mu Yijie gradually began to lose the upper hand. In fact, his fighting style was fine. The only problem was that his cultivation was not enough to deal with so many people.
Gradually, the two of them were separated. Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd.
Only to see a man covering his arm in a sorry state and retreating continuously, his face full of panic.
“Please let me go. I was just out of my mind. For the sake of us both being Asians, spare me.” It was the middle - aged man, and standing in front of him was Mu Yijie.
Mu Yijie curled his lips and blocked an attack from behind. “Don't be an ungrateful wretch next time.”
After saying this, the man fell to the ground before he could react.
The two of them fought and retreated, and then got back together. Yong Shanling sent a voice transmission to Mu Yijie, “Later, I'll directly use the Arhat Overturning the Heavens Seal, and then we'll retreat immediately.”
Yong Shanling was going to use the same trick again. The Arhat Overturning the Heavens Seal was the most powerful move she had mastered so far. Moreover, with her current cultivation, even if she used this move, it wouldn't hurt her fundamentally.
Mu Yijie just told her to be careful.
Yong Shanling found an opportunity and directly used the Arhat Overturning the Heavens Seal. The sharp - eyed black man immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly stepped back and shouted, “Be careful.”
But his warning was still too late. A huge, glowing hand appeared in the sky, pressing down on the people below like the sky itself.
These superpowered people who were used to using their powers straightforwardly had never seen such a move before. They were all scared stupid. Before they could react, they were directly killed.
The moment Yong Shanling used the Arhat Overturning the Heavens Seal, Mu Yijie immediately hugged Yong Shanling's waist and quickly ran backwards.
The two of them soon escaped from the pursuit of those people.
“Hahaha, it's really exhilarating. This fight has made me feel much better.” After Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie escaped, they lay on a grassland, smiling happily.
Mu Yijie looked at Yong Shanling, who was smiling brightly, his eyes full of deep affection.
This time, he was the one who could fight side by side with her.
