Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

This statement seemed intended to incite hatred, yet he was afraid that the Seventh Young Master would act willfully and decide to attack the city at this time.

Ouyang Can was so infuriated by Yuan Duwei’s words that he gnashed his teeth, wishing he could slaughter everyone in Phoenix City immediately. However, when he met Cheng Xiaoxiao’s bloodthirsty and fierce gaze, he shrank back again.

Reluctantly, he ordered a retreat.

"How dare you come and go as you please in the territory of Phoenix City."

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s face was full of killing intent. They’ve harmed her people and taken her things, and they still think they can walk away unscathed? In what world does such luck exist?

"Humph!"

Captain Yuan snorted coldly.

Though they had strength in numbers, their temporary retreat was merely to report to the Ouyang Family first.

The loss of an elder on their side would inevitably lead them to struggle against Phoenix City relentlessly, sending more experts next time. That way, he could take this place effortlessly, so why not?

Currently, only the little girl in all of Phoenix City could fight. We’ll just wait and see!

He didn’t take Cheng Xiaoxiao’s threat seriously at all.

After turning away, his horse had barely taken a few steps when suddenly an incident occurred.

From the city walls, numerous small stones shot out like arrows from a bowstring.

The stones were at most the size of one or two fists, and when fully blocked, the damage was minimal. The most bizarre thing was that the instant the stones touched the ground, they burst into raging flames.

A rain of flaming arrows followed, filling the clear sky with specks of light.

Hadn’t their long-range weapons been exhausted?

Where did these come from?

Swoosh swoosh swoosh! The rain of arrows instantly covered more than half the troops.

The large group was thrown into disarray in an instant.

Some were hit on the head, bleeding profusely and screaming in pain; some had their clothes set aflame, running and jumping frantically; some horses had their tails singed, raising their front hooves and whinnied in terror.

The scene was chaotic with people and horses falling over each other.

"Oh my, what is this?" Ouyang Can was so frightened that cold sweat trickled down his body.

"Young Master, be careful!" The guards on both sides hurriedly chopped down the fire arrows falling from the sky.

"What audacity?"

Captain Yuan was furious. They had already given up the attack, yet who would have thought the other side, with just a dozen people, would dare to counterattack?

Are they forcing him to break the city?

With malevolent eyes, he looked again towards the city walls.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was calm and unhurried, spinning the handgun in her hand, aiming and firing three bullets in quick succession.

The sense of danger immediately alerted Captain Yuan to the explosive atmosphere in the air; it was that hidden weapon again.

Previously, the opponent had instantly killed several people with this hidden weapon, a threat not to be underestimated.

He raised his blade to block, ringing twice in succession.

The intervals were too short, too fast.

He couldn’t fend off the third hidden weapon’s attack, slightly turning his body as he blocked the second bullet. The bullet pierced through his tough armor, and blood spurted out instantly from where it hit his shoulder.

Ugh!

He covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand, jumped off the horse, and hid behind its body.

A large number of soldiers scrambled to find cover.

Mortal flesh couldn’t withstand the raging flames.

Several hundred soldiers at the forefront, seeing their companions behind perish miserably and wailing incessantly, couldn’t care much anymore and fled with their Young Master.

"Come back, come back, charge in there, kill them, kill them."

Captain Yuan was infuriated.

What a bunch of worthless fools! They had the advantage in numbers; attacking head-on, they wouldn’t necessarily lose.

One slip, and bitterness spans all eternity. If he had known, he wouldn’t have urged the opponent to retreat.

Even with many of his injured, they still firmly held the numerical advantage. He hadn’t retreated, and so not a single one of his men fled.

He gritted his teeth and charged forward!

"Soldiers, quickly extinguish the flames on your bodies. They have nothing but this; follow me and fight back. Cut up these bastards, and inside the city, there’s food, women — everyone gets a share."

After half an hour of fierce fighting, most of the enemy troops were wiped out, leaving only a small number fleeing with their tails between their legs.

Cheng Xiaoxiao did not give the order for a relentless pursuit.

Were there a lot of casualties on their side? Immediate rescue was necessary.

The future is long. There will always be a day of reckoning; she’s in no rush.

"Phoenix City is saved; it’s saved." Their lives were saved too. The mothers at home won’t have to send their black-haired children off in mourning, the wives won’t have to become widows, and the children won’t lose their fathers.

"We won, we won."

A group of people raised their weapons high, shouting, "City Lord mighty, City Lord domineering, City Lord is our Phoenix City’s guardian."

Everyone cried tears of joy, shedding tears of relief.

This battle was once thought to be a certain death, yet unexpectedly the tide turned.

Cheng Xiaoxiao distributed the healing ointments and climbed up the city wall to stand against the wind alongside Sikong Yinlong.

"Sikong Family Master, long time no see, I hope you’ve been well."

"Little wildcat, you’re becoming more and more heroic, extraordinary indeed. You’ve grown quickly!"

The tone contained both praise and sarcasm.

"Naturally, if I don’t grow quickly, how could I resist you dictators."

Cheng Xiaoxiao gave a specious smile, looking guardedly at the other party.

Even with a powerful figure backing her up, there’s no guarantee that the madman across won’t suddenly make a move, afraid that the big shot won’t have time to save her.

The mindset of that monster across was extraordinarily bizarre.

"Ha ha!"

The little girl was getting more confident. Does she really think such meager strength could challenge the Sikong Family?

"I heard the Sikong Family Master intends to take Phoenix City for his... own use?"

"That was indeed the plan. I see Phoenix City has its merits too. I can give you some face, how about we cooperate."

He meant to see just how capable this variable was.

"What if not?" Who wants to cooperate with a pervert?

"I’m not in a hurry, the little girl still has time to consider."

Sikong Yunlong faintly felt displeased, and his words carried a warning.

He hadn’t expected the other party to flat out refuse. Compared to previous conditions, he had been much more accommodating.

"How could I let others sleep soundly beside my bed? Surely, the Sikong Family Master understands such a simple truth."

"Times are tough. Do you really think you could sweep across the world alone?"

"We’ll find out if we try."

"The little girl sure talks big. In this world, the weak have no right to negotiate."

"Ha ha ha! If you’re strong, you’re right! If the Sikong Family is so capable, why seek cooperation with me then? Isn’t that slapping your own face?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew well the reason, yet she deliberately mocked the other party.

Sure enough, Sikong Yunlong dangerously narrowed his eyes.

The little wildcat was getting wilder, truly unruly!

Seems like some tough measures are needed to teach her a lesson.

Cheng Xiaoxiao remained constantly vigilant against the other party and could naturally see the faint killing intent, though not strong, but still too much for her level to contend with.

She tightened her grip on the Crystal Pendant.

Silently shouting in her heart, "Boss, boss hurry, there’s a monster here, quickly deal with him."

"Since the little wildcat refuses the toast to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being rude."

The moment he finished speaking, the black-clad men lurking around promptly revealed themselves.
