Chapter 60: Hero Saves the Beauty 2.0
At this moment, one of the black-clothed Soul Emperors discovered the presence of Xiao Yin and Jiang Zhu, and immediately shouted to the leader:
"Brother, there are two people over there!"
"We can't leave any of them alive, or the news will leak out! Third brother, go and finish them off!"
The leader, the black-clothed Soul Emperor, continued his offensive, grinning at the woman being hunted:
"Master Ye, give up! You will definitely not have a chance of escape today!"
Master Ye?!
Upon hearing this, he was stunned!
He stared intently at the besieged figure. Although her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and stained with blood and dust, that familiar silhouette...
It was actually Ye Lingling's mother!
Almost at the same time, the half-dead system prompt in his mind began to beep again:
[Ding! Strong willpower fluctuations and a crisis event detected... Emergency mission generated: Hero Saves the Beauty 2.0!]
[Mission Objective: Repel or kill three Soul Emperors, rescue Ye Lingling's mother, and ensure her survival.]
[Quest Reward: Wish Points +200, Ye Lingling's mother's 'Deep Gratitude' Bond, 1 Random Pill Recipe.]
[Failure Penalty: Ye Lingling's mother's death (may cause the relationship with the Ye family to deteriorate, and Ye Lingling's favorability will be reset to zero)]
(System Note: Mission failure will exacerbate the loss of your origin! Please, host! Act quickly!)
Xiao Yin: "…"
This system is becoming more and more shameless. The rewards are so stingy, and the punishments are described as if they would cost it its life.
But no matter what, he couldn't ignore Ye Lingling's mother.
Not to mention the relationship with Ye Lingling, just the friendship when Ye Lingling's mother gave him the token in the Star Dou Forest, he couldn't just watch her die here.
"Get behind that boulder, and don't come out no matter what happens."
He quickly whispered instructions to Jiang Zhu behind him, his tone leaving no room for questioning.
Jiang Zhu also realized the urgency of the situation, and her face turned pale, but when she saw his calm eyes, she immediately nodded vigorously and quickly hid behind a huge rock not far away.
At this time, the third man in black who discovered them had already left the battle circle with a grin, turned into a black shadow, and rushed straight towards him!
"Boy, it's just your bad luck that you saw something you shouldn't have seen! In your next life, remember to keep your eyes open!"
The Soul Emperor's pressure mixed with murderous intent came towards him!
"Go away! Don't worry about me!" Ye Lingling's mother's anxious shout came at the same time.
Although she could not protect herself, she did not want to implicate innocent passers-by.
However, when she saw out of the corner of her eye that the young man didn't even dodge, her heart sank. Was this young man frightened silly?!
The next second, a scene that shocked everyone happened!
Facing the attack containing the Spirit power of the Soul Emperor level, he did not even use any Spirit skills, and not even a Spirit ring around his body lit up.
He just threw a punch seemingly casually!
There was no brilliant Spirit light, no surging Spirit power fluctuations, only the low sonic boom caused by pure physical strength tearing through the air!
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, followed by the clear sound of bones breaking!
The hideous smile on the face of the third black-clothed Soul Emperor who rushed over froze instantly and turned into extreme horror!
He felt as if he had hit a piece of black iron, and a terrifying force surged along the opponent's fist!
"Ugh—!"
He screamed miserably and flew backwards at a speed even faster than when he came. He crashed into several large trees before falling heavily to the ground with blood gushing from his mouth.
Silence!
Deathly silence!
Both the remaining two black-clothed Soul Emperors and the originally desperate Ye Lingling's mother were stunned, their minds blank.
One punch?
Killing the Soul Emperor instantly with just one punch?!
How is this possible? ! !
The leader, the black-clothed Soul Emperor, reacted the fastest. He was filled with shock and anger, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well that he must not leave anyone alive today, otherwise there would be endless trouble!
While he was about to retract his fist, the leader suddenly burst out with Spirit power, and his sixth Spirit ring suddenly shone!
"Sixth Spirit Skill: Sky-Splitting Slash!"
An extremely condensed black blade light broke away from his Spirit sword, with a tearing sharpness, and did not directly slash towards Xiao Yin, but cunningly chopped towards Ye Lingling's mother who was already injured!
Ye Lingling's mother was already at the end of her strength, and faced with this sudden attack, she had no power to dodge at all, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
However, his movements were so fast that it was beyond everyone's comprehension!
At the moment when the dark blade was about to hit Ye Lingling's mother, his figure appeared beside her like a ghost, and he directly took the slender body into his arms and stepped back!
And the opponent's sword Spirit skill naturally failed!
"Um!"
Ye Lingling's mother let out a muffled groan, and in the blink of an eye, she fell into a strong embrace.
She looked up in shock, and what came into her sight was a young, well-defined profile.
The sunlight cast a faint golden edge on the profile of his face, and his deep eyes seemed to contain stars.
Is it him? !
Her beautiful eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief, and she even temporarily forgot the severe pain in her body.
How could it be him?
How did he get here?
His strength... is it really that terrifying? !
Looking closely at this face that looked more mature and charming than a year ago, and feeling the reassuring power coming from his embrace, Ye Lingling's mother's heart, which had been silent for many years, began to beat uncontrollably.
An indescribable throbbing instantly overwhelmed her.
Two extremely faint blushes quietly appeared on her pale cheeks.
At this moment, Ye Lingling's mother no longer had the graceful and elegant demeanor of the former head of the Ye family.
Her hair was disheveled, with a few strands of black hair stained with blood sticking to her sweaty forehead and cheeks, adding a touch of fragile beauty.
The originally luxurious dress was torn in many places, revealing the snow-white skin underneath.
Her breathing was rapid and weak, and her body was trembling slightly due to exhaustion and pain, but her eyes that looked at him were flashing with shock.
He held Ye Lingling's mother's soft and mature waist firmly with one hand, and he could feel the amazing delicacy and elasticity even through the torn clothes.
There was a scent unique to a mature woman lingering at the tip of his nose.
The delicate body in his arms trembled slightly because of the pain. This feeling of fragility and toughness mixed together made his heart, which was fused with the dragon's nature, involuntarily ripple with a strange feeling.
"Xiao...Xiao Yin?"
Her voice was weak and trembling with disbelief, "How could it be..."
"Shhh."
He lowered his head and met her shocked and confused gaze. A reassuring smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his tone was unquestionably strong.
"Don't talk for now. Stay calm. Once I've dealt with these annoying flies, we can slowly reminisce about the past."
His voice seemed to carry some kind of magic, instantly soothing Ye Lingling's mother's uneasiness.
After saying that, he slowly raised his head. His eyes, which originally held a hint of a gentle smile, instantly became ice-cold when he turned to the remaining two black-clothed Soul Emperors!
The two black-clothed Soul Emperors felt a chill at the same time when they were swept by his gaze, and subconsciously took half a step back.
"Tell me...how do you want to die!"
