Scott was radiant, his demeanor completely transformed as he grabbed an iron rod and swung it toward Modu.
Fortunately, Modu was no slouch either, quickly retreating several steps to evade the attack.
"I've never looked down on anyone as much as I do dishonest people in my life! Get back here!" Modu was about to unleash a verbal tirade, but Hoolay raised a hand to stop him.
"Forget it. Pick another opponent. It's fate, somehow. I have a feeling I'll be fighting alongside him in the future!"
Modu stared at Hoolay in utter confusion, though he only dared to seethe inwardly.
Witnessing the scene before him, Su Chen had already given up resisting.
Fine, let destruction come. The sooner, the better.
He couldn't even muster the energy to complain anymore.
He'd been far too naive about this world!
Modu scanned his surroundings, his eyes landing on Huaiyan as he smirked. "You there, old man with the straw hat—acting all high and mighty, huh? Step forward!"
"Good! Good! Good!" Huaiyan elegantly removed his straw hat and took off his outer robe, revealing a well-toned, sculpted physique beneath his vest—the kind that could easily win a bodybuilding competition.
Modu instantly shuddered. "H-hey! I wasn't calling you! I meant that… that kid over there!"
His finger pointed at Yunli. "Kid, I've had enough of you! Come out!"
"I'm gonna avenge my skewers!" As he spoke, Su Chen and Firefly stepped aside to clear a path.
Yunli, though small in stature, dragged a thick, heavy iron chain behind her, looking fully capable of slapping Modu to death in one hit.
"Alright, alright! That's enough, that's enough!" Modu immediately raised his hands to stop Yunli from advancing.
"Tch! None of you are even human! This is on you for being useless!"
"Today's duel is canceled!"
Modu made a big X gesture with his arms before turning to Hoolay with a pleading look.
However—
At that very moment, a figure descended from the sky, growing larger and larger as it approached.
"ILLUMINATE—THE—MYRIAD—REALMS!"
BOOM!
A white-haired woman landed between Modu and Hoolay, her eyes blazing as she glared at Modu.
"WHO WAS THE ONE THAT HIT ME WITH THEIR CAR JUST NOW?!"
The expressions of the onlookers were a sight to behold.
Baiheng could barely contain her excitement. "Hahaha! It's Jingliu! She's finally here!"
Yingxing's legs trembled uncontrollably.
Jing Yuan smiled at his long-unseen master. "She hasn't changed a bit. Seems she still needs some… recuperation."
The only one who kept a cool head was Su Chen, who immediately pointed at Hoolay behind Jingliu.
Following his finger, Jingliu locked eyes with a familiar face.
"Have we met before? Oh… so you're the one who tried to run me over!"
Without another word, Jingliu launched an attack straight at Hoolay.
Su Chen reacted swiftly, grabbing Modu's arm to pull him out of harm's way. "You got a death wish or something? When these two fight, you don't even qualify to be a bystander!"
The once-arrogant Modu was now surrounded by the others. "S-sorry, sorry! I admit I was a bit too loud earlier…"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow. "I preferred it when he was all high and mighty. How about a one-on-one? You can pick any one of us."
"Absolutely unnecessary!" Modu hurriedly changed the subject. "But those two over there are going at it pretty hard… Any ideas?"
Su Chen stroked his chin. "If it were March 7th, she'd probably say, 'Eh, it's fine, it's fine! Just two people fighting—if a third joined in, then it'd be a problem!'"
"Let's wait. With me and Elder Huaiyan here, once they've worn each other out a bit, the rest of us can step in. With Firefly here too, pulling them apart shouldn't be too hard." Jing Yuan observed the battle between Hoolay and Jingliu intently.
"Hoolay doesn't seem like he'll last much longer."
"Is Jingliu always this short-tempered? She looks like she's seeing red."
"Master, ah…" Jing Yuan sighed heavily. "She's always been like this."
Just then, Baiheng suddenly squeezed between Su Chen and Jing Yuan, grinning proudly.
"Let me tell you—back in the day, the four of us combined couldn't even last one move against Jingliu. She one-shots everyone! But when her temper flares up, she goes all out!
I still remember this one guy who couldn't keep his mouth shut and got absolutely wrecked…
Ugh, it's too brutal to even talk about…"
"Yikes… That terrifying?" Su Chen studied Jingliu thoughtfully. "How are we supposed to keep her in check, then?"
"I've got a plan!" Jiaoqiu handed Su Chen his phone.
Su Chen read the message on the screen aloud: "'I've lured Feixiao over. She'll be here soon!'"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a dashing hooded figure appeared, parkouring across rooftops instead of taking the normal path.
And behind him was someone even more formidable—staggering drunkenly yet moving with eerie lightness and speed.
"Feixiao? She's drunk?" Su Chen could only marvel at the absurdity of it all. "Next thing you know, mice will be serving as bridesmaids for cats."
"GIVE ME THAT WINE!!!" Feixiao suddenly accelerated, nearly catching up to Moze in an instant.
"Moze! Throw whatever you're holding at Hoolay!"
"Huh?" Hoolay sensed something was off, but he was in no position to react—he was already struggling just to block Jingliu's attacks.
Following Jiaoqiu's instructions, Moze nodded. Just as Feixiao was about to grab him, he hurled the cocktail glass in his hand straight at Hoolay.
By sheer coincidence, it smashed directly into Hoolay's body.
Hoolay sniffed. "Why do I smell alcohol?"
He glanced around, only to find that the spectators had retreated another several dozen meters from their original positions.
WHOOSH! A gust of wind roared past.
Feixiao and Jingliu now stood side by side before Hoolay, their expressions murderous.
"DECISIVE—VICTORY—IS—HERE!"
"ILLUMINATE—THE—MYRIAD—REALMS!"
In an instant, the two white-haired women charged at Hoolay.
Jingliu alone had already been overwhelming him—now, with two of them,
It didn't take long
Before Hoolay was completely outmatched and collapsed to the ground.
Just as everyone thought it was over,
Jingliu and Feixiao exchanged a glance,
And then—
Without another word, the two began fighting each other.
"Wow! These two sisters are amazing! They're going blow for blow!" Yunli watched with admiration.
Huaiyan wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "The commissioner once wondered whether Feixiao was more fearless or Jingliu more formidable. Too bad he isn't here to see this—instead, it's this old man who gets to witness it! Hahaha! Fascinating, truly fascinating!"
Nearby, Yanqing watched with wide eyes, his young mind utterly blown.
If he were to step in now, he probably wouldn't last a single round.
Poor Hoolay, having to endure two monsters at once.
"Teacher, should we stop them?"
"I think it's fine." Su Chen replied to a message on his phone before turning to Yanqing.
"They're a good match for each other. They'll tire themselves out soon.
Once Feixiao sweats out the alcohol,
And Jingliu vents her anger, it'll be over."
