Chapter 530: Teammate Synergy |
A sword aura approached from far to near.
Standing atop the sword was a lithe young girl, her pink hair fluttering in the wind against the darkness.
She wore a denim jacket over a black long-sleeved t-shirt with cartoon patterns, paired with denim shorts and sneakers.
That delicate little face faintly radiated a divine light.
If not for her outfit still being the same as the original pink-haired girl Sun Xixi, no one would believe this girl, carrying traces of divinity and etherealness, was the person they knew.
Her very existence seemed like a mistake made by this gloomy world.
Even Chen Ye, who had seen Sun Xixi countless times, was momentarily stunned by her current appearance.
Back in the day, there was an internet term called "the ceiling of pure desire."
Of course, using that term to describe Sun Xixi now wouldn't even capture one ten-thousandth of her current charm.
The allure of a slightly mature woman.
And the ethereal aura and charm of a Sword Immortal.
All these qualities were blended into one person.
Highlighting the girl's unique temperament.
Even the world's greatest artist couldn't paint one ten-thousandth of the girl's current aura.
No camera, no matter how good, could capture a single glance back from the girl.
Chen Ye wasn't the only one looking at the girl.
Everyone in the unfinished building was staring in her direction.
As the girl approached the fourth floor.
She sensed a gaze full of fighting intent from the third floor.
Looking down slightly.
She saw that seductive violent woman in the red bodycon dress.
The violent woman stared at her with burning eyes, her hand lightly resting on the long sword hilt at her waist.
If she gave even the slightest signal, today's battle would likely erupt in an instant.
Sun Xixi just smiled gently, brushing past that gaze without any mockery or hostility.
The girl who had just advanced to Sequence 4 was still wrapped in fierce sword aura. Just one look made it feel like the sword aura was about to cut through one's eyes.
A cowardly fellow, upon seeing Sun Xixi for the first time, immediately fell to his knees, prostrating himself with his hands on the ground and his forehead touching the floor.
Like a devout believer.
None of the other ordinary survivors dared to mock him.
They all looked at Sun Xixi with the same eyes reserved for a deity.
"Sequence 4?"
Chen Ye smacked his lips, looking like he had a toothache.
There was an indescribable flavor in his tone.
The girl smiled lightly, lifted her chin, and gave a forceful "Mm-hmm."
Chen Ye offered a free flattery: "Impressive! As expected of the convoy's top fighter!"
The girl shot Chen Ye a look that said "you know what's good for you."
"Sword Immortal Sequence 4, Sequence Name: Sword Sect, Condensed Force Realm!"
The girl declared proudly.
Her advancement to Sequence 4 brought a small shock to everyone.
Sure enough, the convoy's top fighter was always the convoy's top fighter.
Though the convoy members had never sparred.
Even Chen Ye acknowledged the girl's strength.
As for whether he could actually defeat her, Chen Ye wasn't very confident now.
This girl looked carefree on the surface, but if you really pissed her off, her combat power was terrifying.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's envious gaze lingered on the girl for a long, long time.
Then she silently turned around and walked into deeper darkness.
Today, she still had three thousand punches to finish.
Xu Lina touched her own pretty face and, seeing the girl's appearance, actually felt a pang of shame in her heart.
Not that Xu Lina thought she was inferior to Sun Xixi in looks.
But Sun Xixi's Sequence talent was simply too astonishing.
Compared to other Sequences, her own Sequence was really unimpressive.
Ding Dong, however, was very calm.
This woman was still Sequence 2, already not measuring up in many situations.
If not for the convoy's protection, she would have died in the previous battles.
But she didn't care much about that either.
Her heart was now completely set on how to plant the Ideal Grain Seeds.
She didn't care about Sequences or strength.
Iron Lion kept grinning foolishly.
This simple-minded guy's heart was filled only with joy at Sun Xixi's Sequence advancement.
Pure joy.
Gong Yong nodded repeatedly, looking like an elder pleased with a younger disciple.
He was also Sequence 4, but merely a Support Sequence.
Therefore, his contribution to the convoy's combat power wasn't very obvious.
But that didn't stop him from having an elder's mentality.
Chu Che, however, was the happiest.
As the convoy's captain, having one more powerful combat unit brought incalculable benefits. Only he knew how much this meant.
Next time he met that Yang Han guy, he could stand much taller.
He figured the other side, knowing about their situation, probably wouldn't dare to act rashly either.
Tomorrow, he'd find a chance to mention Xixi's Sword Immortal Sequence to that Yang Han guy, lest those people lose their minds and start fighting and killing.
What a pity, if Ding Dong would put even a little more effort into improving her strength.
She would have been Sequence 3 by now.
Just as everyone was rejoicing, Chen Ye keenly caught something strange in the girl's eyes.
Chen Ye quickly understood and turned to coldly say to the others, "Alright, you've seen enough. What are you still crowding around for? All of you, go back!"
The heated atmosphere was directly knocked down to freezing point by Chen Ye's words.
The survivors had no choice but to head downstairs one after another.
Earlier, seeing Sun Xixi advance her Sequence level.
Some survivors wanted to curry favor, so they directly came to the fourth floor.
This was also because of the Fair Convoy's lenient attitude toward survivors.
But Chen Ye's words, though they made them unwilling, still made them turn and dejectedly go downstairs.
Chu Che also sensed something was off and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Sun Xixi glanced down toward the lower floors.
Chu Che immediately understood.
Clearly, breaking through to Sequence 4 just now had consumed a tremendous amount of Sun Xixi's energy.
If not for another convoy in the unfinished building...
Sun Xixi's current strong front was all an act for outsiders.
That outsider was obviously the Shepherd Convoy on the third floor.
Unless someone had incredible rapport, it was impossible to see that Sun Xixi's current state was off.
Chu Che shot Ding Dong a look.
Ding Dong quickly walked over to support Sun Xixi, like close sisters, heading straight for Sun Xixi's tent.
Even Iron Lion foolishly followed.
"Tonight..."
Chu Che said in a low voice.
Chen Ye nodded, everything understood without words.
"Oh, and there's one more thing. I need to talk to you and Xu Lina..."
The convoy returned to calm.
It was already two in the morning.
Seeing that Chen Ye and Xu Lina were also present, Chu Che found a secluded spot and recounted the situation about the traitor in the convoy.
Since this matter only involved Chen Ye and Xu Lina.
Chu Che didn't inform anyone else.
It happened that Iron Lion and the others were all drawn to Sun Xixi.
Though this matter might not stay hidden in the end.
Still, it was better to let Chen Ye and Xu Lina know first.
When Chen Ye heard what Chu Che said, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Chu Che quickly said, "Old Zhang has been dealt with. He won't appear in the convoy anymore."
"Yezi, Lina, what do you think about this?"
Who knew that when Chu Che finished speaking.
Xu Lina immediately stood up and gave Squad Leader Chu a deep bow.
Chu Che was a bit confused by Xu Lina's action, but he didn't do anything.
"I'm sorry, Squad Leader Chu, Mr. Chen. This is all because of me!"
Chen Ye seemed to have thought of something but didn't say a word.
Chu Che also had a realization but still asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Lina calmed her emotions a little before saying, "Previously, I went against Squad Leader Chu's advice and forcibly bonded with Corroding Marrow Six Eyes!..."
