Berserk God of War

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Shut Down the Formation? Let Him Die

Xiao Qibo replied without hesitation, “Yes, it’s Sikong Jing from the Sky Wolf Team. He held me back when the assassin appeared. Luckily, I managed to shake him off in the end, otherwise it would’ve been dangerous.”

When saying these words, Xiao Qibo didn’t even blush or breathe hard, as if it were the truth.

At that moment, the butler Old Ling seemed to find a kindred spirit and suddenly looked at Weng Ting.

“This is simply outrageous. Now you see, Miss? Inviting such a little waste leads to this outcome.”

“You almost got a fifth-grade battle body genius from the East Dominator Branch killed!”

At any given opportunity, the butler Old Ling would wildly criticize Sikong Jing, madly questioning Weng Ting as to why she invited such garbage.

Yet Weng Ting didn’t have time to retort; instead, her face suddenly changed as she whispered, “Oh no, Meixi and Sikong Jing are still inside the Spiritual Shadow Array; they’re likely being chased by the assassin, given that they haven’t come out for so long.”

Although Weng Ting was somewhat skeptical about Xiao Qibo saying Sikong Jing held him back, now wasn’t the time to dwell on it.

More importantly, Sikong Jing and Hua Meixi are also facing the assassin right now!

Thinking of this, Weng Ting urgently shouted, “Old Ling, quickly close the Spiritual Shadow Array, do not delay.”

Because Duanmu Chun had messaged them, warning them never to enter the formation, the only way to save them now was to shut down the Spiritual Shadow Array.

The butler Old Ling hesitated upon hearing this, showing some reluctance, but eventually took out their Great Elder’s Spirit Shadow Spiritual Artifact.

However, at this moment, Xiao Qibo exclaimed in surprise, “Hua Meixi is out!”

In an instant, Weng Ting and the others hurriedly looked over and saw Hua Meixi walking out of the Spiritual Shadow Array gracefully, masked with a red veil.

A few people quickly moved closer, and Weng Ting naturally expressed all sorts of concerns to Hua Meixi.

In response, Hua Meixi shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, Sister Weng, I’m fine. It’s just that Sikong Jing is still inside, but he faces…”

Before she could finish, Weng Ting immediately looked at the butler Old Ling and decisively said, “Why are you still standing there, hurry and shut down the formation.”

No matter what Sikong Jing is facing now, it must be extremely dangerous!

But Weng Ting didn’t know that Hua Meixi originally intended to say…

Sikong Jing is handling the assassin skillfully, no need to worry; he’s just dealing with the last assassin. The rest have been killed by him, and he can soon finish up and leave the Spiritual Shadow Array.

However, since the formation could be shut down, Hua Meixi refrained from saying more.

Yet, the butler Old Ling didn’t know what Hua Meixi was thinking, nor did he know the situation inside the array.

He suddenly pulled back the Spirit Shadow Spiritual Artifact into his storage space, then slowly and leisurely said, “That kind of deadweight garbage waste, let him die.”

Upon hearing this, Weng Ting’s face turned deathly pale.

Meanwhile, Hua Meixi couldn’t help but be stunned; this old man actually said Sikong Jing was holding others back?

Where did he get that notion?

Sikong Jing clearly slew several assassins; if anyone was holding back, it was herself… On this day, amidst the relentless pursuit and ambush by two assassins, there were a few times when the surrounding spiritual shadows were too strong, almost beyond her control.

Sikong Jing always arrived promptly, ensuring her safety.

Still, before Hua Meixi could explain, Xiao Qibo hastily chimed in, “Exactly, that damn Sky Wolf little waste held me back, nearly causing me to die in the Spiritual Shadow Array.”

“Hmph, the sooner someone like him dies, the sooner we’ll be at ease, so he doesn’t drag us down during the soul-snatching battle.”

He wished Sikong Jing would hurry up and die, because he didn’t help him before, causing him to get injured.

Moreover, since Xiao Qibo had bragged earlier, if Sikong Jing came out alive, wouldn’t it expose him? That would certainly not do.

The dead can never speak.

Upon hearing Xiao Qibo’s words, Hua Meixi couldn’t help but widen her eyes and blankly ask, “Sikong Jing held you back?”

That’s absurd; Sikong Jing is probably stronger than Xiao Qibo…

“Indeed, Captain Hua.” Xiao Qibo nodded emphatically, repeating the boast he just made, saying that if Sikong Jing hadn’t held him back, he would’ve taken down the assassin long ago.

After speaking, Xiao Qibo sighed and asked, “Captain Hua, did you encounter an assassin too?”

Upon listening, the corners of Hua Meixi’s mouth twitched slightly under the veil; she finally understood why the butler at the Old Man Spirit Manor said Sikong Jing was holding others back—it was because of Xiao Qibo’s words.

But as for Xiao Qibo’s statement, Hua Meixi didn’t believe a single word; it was simply too exaggerated.

Yet suddenly, Hua Meixi didn’t feel like explaining anymore, and instead gazed at Xiao Qibo with an amused smile, then gently nodded, “Yes.”

At these words, Xiao Qibo continued, “Even you encountered an assassin and were unharmed, while I got severely injured. If it weren’t for that Sky Wolf little waste, how could I be in such a sorry state?”

In Xiao Qibo’s view, his strength must be far superior to Hua Meixi’s.

The latter was merely the captain of the team, while he was a fifth-grade battle body super genius, a rank higher than the captain.

The corners of Hua Meixi’s mouth twitched again slightly before she slowly replied, “But I faced three assassins!”

“Click…”

At that moment, the boastful Xiao Qibo’s expression froze suddenly, and his voice, ready to brag further, choked dead in his throat; meeting three assassins and remaining unharmed, while he was injured facing one, was quite a blow.

The butler Old Ling quickly noticed Xiao Qibo’s embarrassment and swiftly added, “But Young Master Xiao managed to take down the assassin, though I wonder if Captain Hua managed to eliminate all three of them?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qibo again raised his head to look at Hua Meixi proudly.

With a light glance at the two, Hua Meixi couldn’t help but mockingly laugh, “Not exactly, because I didn’t need to act.”

She didn’t mention the fact that Sikong Jing had always acted for her.

Yet Xiao Qibo mistakenly thought Hua Meixi escaped while the assassins chased her, hence she didn’t need to act…

Thinking of this, he comforted, “Captain Hua, it’s no big deal that you couldn’t take down the assassins; after all, you’re just a fourth-grade battle body, managing to escape the chase of three assassins is already impressive.”

He displayed an expression of admiration mixed with concern, wrongly assuming Hua Meixi was only a fourth-grade battle body.

Under her veil, Hua Meixi’s face twisted with disgust.

Finally, she couldn’t help but loudly declare, “You’re mistaken, it was Sikong Jing who blocked all three assassins for me.”

She couldn’t resist slapping Xiao Qibo’s face figuratively; the Sikong Jing he thought was holding back, actually blocked three assassins for her.

Upon hearing this, the formerly proud Xiao Qibo was stunned yet again, instinctively shouting, “How can this be possible?”

But the butler Old Ling chimed in, “Haha, it’s really a hero risking his life for beauty, such a waste is more than just a waste but foolishly overestimating himself… Well, at least he died for a worthy cause.”

Being so weak yet blocking three assassins for Hua Meixi, truly foolish.
