Chapter 44 Bodyguard
Seeing that Li Jie still showed no intention of making a move, Fatty gritted his teeth and took out the [One Transforms into Three Thousand] from his pocket!
Fine, don't make a move then. I refuse to believe that I can still wipe you out even without Brother Li!
Cao Yuan also placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and slowly drew out the Star Blade that the training camp had temporarily lent them.
"Hehehe~"
Accompanied by eerie laughter and towering flames, the Black King reappeared.
After Cao Yuan advanced to the 'Pool' realm, the power of [Black King Annihilation] also increased, and he had very little sanity left.
The sudden surge of powerful aura caused the charging dwarf and the three-sword man to freeze in their tracks.
Their lips twitched as they looked at Cao Yuan, who had transformed into a monster, and the sky filled with countless 'great swords'...
[The believers] weren't they supposed to be new recruits...
Are these new recruits?
Although they had considered retreating, they remembered the man's instructions and gritted their teeth to charge forward.
Li Jie slowly retreated, and what no one in the arena noticed was that there seemed to be a blue light flashing from the tips of his fingers hidden behind his back.
Although he said he wouldn't intervene, he still had to ensure their safety.
He wasn't worried about Cao Yuan's side; it was definitely a one-sided situation. What he needed to pay attention to was Fatty, this unstable element.
Who knows if there are other people watching nearby? What if they suddenly launch a sneak attack while [Yaoguang] is in her recovery period?
Then our "God of Wealth" will be gone...
Before long, Li Jie realized that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.
After half a year of training, Baili Pangpang's every move is quite impressive.
The dwarf man was quickly defeated, while the three-sword man on the other side was hacked to pieces by the corrupted Cao Yuan.
The latter swung the knife while laughing strangely, which looked rather eerie.
"Hehehe~"
After dealing with the dwarf man, Baili Pangpang trembled and ran shakily to Li Jie's side, saying something.
"Brother Lei, I really can't handle Cao Cao. Why don't you take over..."
Compared to dealing with the dwarf and the three-sword man, Fatty was more afraid of facing Cao Yuan in his current state. Seeing his ruthless gait and inhumane methods, Fatty Baili broke out in a cold sweat.
"That's too cruel..."
He stretched out his two chubby little hands to cover his eyes, and every now and then he would peek through his fingers at the terrible scene on the ground.
Li Jie shook his head and remained silent, because he sensed that Lin Qiye had already dealt with the archer woman and arrived here. Since he was going to hide his abilities, he might as well ignore her completely!
"Fatty, give me the [Forbidden Scroll]."
Lin Qiye glared at Li Jie, annoyed. What kind of time is this to be pretending to be an expert...?
Before long, the out-of-control Cao Yuan was once again tied up like a 'zongzi' (rice dumpling).
.........
The "Boundless Skies" have dissipated, but the battle on the hotel's top floor continues.
Even after such a long time, explosions could still be heard from time to time, which shows how fierce the battle was.
"Looks like things haven't been resolved over there yet," Fatty said quietly, looking at the eerie firelight on the top floor. "Are we just going to stand here and watch?"
Lin Qiye glanced around at the surrounding streets. "I remember there seems to be a noodle shop nearby..."
"How about we grab a bowl of noodles? We can't just sit here waiting..."
Upon hearing the name of the noodle shop, Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan's stomachs began to rumble involuntarily.
"Boss! Four bowls of shredded pork noodles, all with eggs and dried tofu!"
"One of the bowls had a large pork chop with braised pork and..."
"okay!"
After the four of them sat down, they began to discuss the cause and effect of the battle.
"Fatty, are you saying that someone precisely bombed the hotel's rooftop?"
While eating his noodles, Lin Qiye asked Fatty a question.
"Yeah...didn't you see I'm still wearing a bath towel...?"
The latter pointed to his tattered bathrobe and said with a wry smile.
"They must have used a highly destructive forbidden area instead of firearms, otherwise we probably wouldn't have had time to react before we were all dead."
As he said this, he patted his chubby chest with relief.
"Judging by this destructive power, it's at least at the 'Chuan' realm. Luckily, you two ran fast..."
Lin Qiye sighed softly, his gaze occasionally glancing at Li Jie, who was sitting quietly eating noodles to the side.
Is Brother Li now able to directly intervene in the battles in the 'Chuan' territory?
After a moment's thought, he realized that once he reached the 'Pool' realm, relying on the divine abilities of Nyx and Michael, he should be able to barely put up a fight against someone in the 'River' realm.
Even when Li Jie was still in the 'Zhan' realm, he was able to injure the captain at the peak of the 'Chuan' realm...
At this point, he suddenly remembered something that had been puzzling him for so long since he had met Li Jie.
That is, he couldn't sense any spiritual power in Li Jie, as if he were no different from an ordinary person.
After growing up, the ability to explore the [Mortal Realm] has been further improved.
At first, Lin Qiye thought that his ability was not awakened enough and he could not sense the spiritual power of those whose realm was higher than his.
But he was clearly wrong. He could sense the mental energy of everyone except Li Jie.
Even Baili Pangpang, who was not in the forbidden area, had fluctuations of spiritual power.
Only Li Jie felt nothing.
He gave a deep look at the person sitting next to him.
How many secrets does Brother Li still hold...?
“You live too conspicuously; anyone with a keen eye can easily find out your whereabouts with a little investigation.”
Li Jie, who hadn't spoken until now, said quietly.
"These are special times, and your approach is rather unprofessional."
Upon hearing Li Jie's words, Baili Pangpang scratched his head sheepishly.
"I'm used to it... I stay in hotels that are better than this in Guangzhou and Shenzhen."
"......"
Just as the group was chatting, four more figures appeared outside the shop.
"Brother Shen... eating noodles again..."
Shen Qingzhu walked at the front, and the corner of her mouth twitched suddenly.
He thought for a moment, then spoke in a casual tone.
"What do you know? Noodles are a specialty of Cangnan City. How can you not eat them several times during a single visit..."
As he walked in, he loudly called out, "Boss, four bowls of clear broth noodles!"
The noodle shop owner came out from the kitchen, grinned at the four people who had sat down.
"Hey, it's you guys again. What, plain noodles again today? Want to try something different?"
Before he could even speak, one of his three henchmen swallowed hard.
With a soft thud, Shen Qingzhu, already somewhat embarrassed, became even more awkward...
He glanced at the price list discreetly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Boss, please change it. Three bowls of shredded pork noodles and one bowl of clear soup noodles."
"okay!"
He settled the three of them down, and then went to Li Jie's table.
"Thank you all for your help during the training camp."
He looked at Li Jie and Lin Qiye and spoke.
Ok?
Lin Qiye was somewhat confused, while Li Jie simply nodded.
"If you hadn't stopped those missiles, we probably wouldn't be sitting here eating noodles right now."
So that's what they were talking about...
Seeing that the two did not reply, Shen Qingzhu continued.
"If you need anything during the holiday, just let me know and I'll definitely help if I can."
Li Jie raised his head, looked at his three followers, then at Baili Pangpang, and said with a playful expression.
"So I do have a business deal with you, but I don't know if you're interested."
Just as the latter was wondering, Li Jie pointed to the chubby boy slurping noodles.
"I'll be his bodyguard for the next few days."
