Chapter 311 - Fierce Battle With Chu Lingfeng
Chu Lingfeng had no idea about Chi Xiaocheng's transformation. All he knew was that the farm was surrounded, and perhaps some of their own people had breached the perimeter, gaining control of some of his subordinates inside.
But right now, this very area was filled only with his own men!
So what if Chi Xiaocheng was a ghost? He'd been startled and panicked at the last banquet because of her, but now he had so many people around, and the yang energy was strong. Did he still need to fear her?
A person who was meant to die anyway, with no background whatsoever—even if she died here, no one would know.
As for Si Chen, as the Si family's second son, he still had some use.
As long as he captured him, Chu Lingfeng had plenty of methods to control him. Once Si Chen became his puppet, the path ahead would be much smoother!
These two, no matter what, had to stay!
Chu Lingfeng secretly glanced at Si Chen, seeing him still appear calm and collected, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
Yet, upon seeing Chi Xiaocheng, who was in a strange state, Chu Lingfeng inexplicably felt the fear of being dominated by illusions, just as he had at the last banquet.
He immediately shuddered.
He roared at his bodyguards, "What are you standing around for? Get them!"
Since you've delivered yourselves to my doorstep, don't blame me!
Si Chen's eyes also narrowed, and without even waiting for the two bodyguards behind him to act, he charged forward first.
He met a burly man head-on, and with one punch, aimed for the opponent's jaw.
However, Chu Lingfeng's six bodyguards were all mercenaries retired from countless battles and bloodshed. Even if Si Chen had trained, he wasn't an ancient martial artist, so he couldn't possibly take on one of them alone.
Even with a protagonist's halo, his character's "weight" was firmly suppressed by Chu Lingfeng.
It wasn't long before he was at a disadvantage.
He was in a one-on-one fight with one bodyguard, while two other bodyguards each engaged one of their opponents.
Chu Lingfeng watched the isolated Chi Xiaocheng and sneered, "Take that one down for me, dead or alive, I don't care!"
Chi Xiaocheng was indeed adorable, and aesthetically, she was worth "collecting" for Chu Lingfeng.
But this was a ghost girl.
To avoid complications, it was best to kill her directly!
Three bodyguards swarmed her, not even giving Chi Xiaocheng time to take her medicine. One of them launched a punch, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind.
It seemed he wanted to smash her head with a single blow.
Chi Xiaocheng gripped her fruit knife with a backhand grip. Empowered by her dark transformation, her movements were agile. Using her small stature to her advantage, she ducked slightly and dodged the punch.
At the same time, she turned sideways, holding the fruit knife, and using the bodyguard's forward momentum, plunged the tip of the blade directly into his flesh.
The "Precise Scalpel" skill instantly activated.
With a "sizz" sound, a vibrant line of blood spurted into the air, landing on the other two bodyguards.
They never imagined that the 1.9-meter burly man's incredibly swift punch would be so easily deflected by this little loli!
Chu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and roared, "This one is an ancient martial artist! Get close and stick to her, don't give her a chance to breathe!"
Hearing this, the remaining two bodyguards' eyes also narrowed, and they lunged at Chi Xiaocheng once more.
However, Chi Xiaocheng was like an elegant butterfly, dancing amidst their fierce attacks. Her nimble body simply couldn't be caught.
She didn't know martial arts; she only relied on her flexible body for dodging, and her counterattacks were purely instinctive, brought forth by her "Scalpel" skill.
Every time her knife moved, blood would surely be drawn.
The skills she could unleash were not limited to just "Intermediate Acting."
Before long, the two bodyguards were bleeding profusely from all over.
But what Chi Xiaocheng didn't expect was that the bodyguard she had previously wounded rejoined the fray. Furthermore, one of the others smoothly retreated and went to Chu Lingfeng's side.
The Thirteen Needles of Taiyi were instantly unleashed!
The bodyguard, who had already had two fingers sliced off by Chi Xiaocheng, was pricked by the needles and seemed to trigger a berserk state. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his muscles visibly swelled!
With this bodyguard rejoining the battle, Chi Xiaocheng's pressure instantly more than doubled!
While her dark transformation was strong, in a way, it was also overtaxing her body. Essentially, she still had physical limitations.
Prolonging the fight would only put her at a disadvantage.
Moreover, when this bodyguard rejoined the fight, another bodyguard would withdraw and then continue to be injected by Chu Lingfeng.
It was like a revolving-door tactic, one after another going out to be empowered, then returning to the fray.
And then, something unexpected happened.
The bodyguards Si Chen brought were recruited through standard procedures. Against these mercenaries retired from the military, they could only take a passive beating. After one of them was knocked down with a single punch, he quickly made his way to Chu Lingfeng's side.
The Thirteen Needles of Taiyi were unleashed in the exact same manner.
The bodyguard's hair instantly stood on end, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
The three-person siege turned into a four-person assault.
"Damn it, I don't have any chance to take my medicine!"
Chi Xiaocheng had still been overconfident, believing that with her dark transformation skill and the system's aid, she had nothing to fear from them.
And that was indeed true. If not for Chu Lingfeng's Thirteen Needles of Taiyi empowering and enraging this group of bodyguards...
...it would have just been a matter of time for Chi Xiaocheng to deal with them.
Who would have thought he still had this trick up his sleeve!
Danger loomed. The powerful gust from a punch almost grazed Chi Xiaocheng's cheek, and a lock of her sideburn hair was actually severed directly by the force of it!
No, she could only fight with her life on the line!
Anyway, she had a "Pain Reduction" skill, so she could withstand a punch. The immediate priority was to take down one bodyguard, then escape, and then exchange some medicine from the system space using emotional value!
Chi Xiaocheng's plan was well-conceived.
But she wasn't the protagonist.
The world's mechanics wouldn't operate as she envisioned.
A bodyguard, who had been circling around, observing Chi Xiaocheng's weaknesses, noticed that Chi Xiaocheng's knife-wielding hand was trembling slightly.
No sooner said than done!
He used his palm as a blade, striking directly at Chi Xiaocheng's right shoulder.
"Urgh—!"
A cry of pain escaped, but the sound wasn't from Chi Xiaocheng; it was from Si Chen.
The man's glasses were half-shattered, his face swollen, and the bodyguard he had been facing was now lying on the ground, knocked out at some unknown point.
He had rushed over and blocked a blow for Chi Xiaocheng.
Like a beast unleashed, Si Chen laughed ferociously, "No matter what, I'm still a Si family scion! Don't you dare underestimate me!"
"Chi Xiaocheng, you go first! They wouldn't dare do anything to me!"
With that, Si Chen fearlessly charged into another bodyguard who had already been enraged by the Thirteen Needles of Taiyi.
From then on, who could still say he was a man driven solely by self-interest?
Chi Xiaocheng was momentarily dazed, but Si Chen's arrival disrupted the rhythm of the bodyguards' coordinated attack.
She was about to exchange for medicine from the system.
Out of the corner of her eye, however, she caught sight of a figure running towards them.
"Tao..."
Her words were still unfinished, but it was precisely that moment of distraction.
A bodyguard's punch had already arrived.
With a muffled thud, it landed heavily on Chi Xiaocheng's abdomen.
Her small figure was sent flying two meters high.
Along with a spray of blood, she collapsed onto a bodyguard's body.
In her peripheral vision, she saw a high-ponytail girl who had suddenly halted mid-run.
"Xiaocheng—!!!"
