Chapter 1057: Turning Back Once More! No One Behind
At this moment, the space gate was sealed by ice, and rumbling sounds echoed within the diamond-level spirit ruin!
Sun Hao shuddered: "S-seems like we don't need to worry about this!"
"The one who charged in is..."
Xia Yao grinned: "Xiao Nan's sister, she'll handle this place!"
Zhong Yingxue, Wu Liang, and the others had also retreated and made their way over here!
Looking at Jiangnan, who was sleeping standing up, their eyes were filled with heartache!
"Xiao Nan must be exhausted, right? Let him sleep in a more comfortable position instead of standing!"
Xia Yao laughed brightly: "Right, right! Xuexue's lap pillow is the softest!"
Zhong Yingxue walked over slowly, using a wet towel to wipe away the blood and drool on Jiangnan's face!
She was careful, afraid of waking him up.
Then she moved behind Jiangnan, wanting to lift him up and lay him flat, giving him a more comfortable position!
But the moment Zhong Yingxue reached Jiangnan's backside!
Jiangnan instantly lifted his leg and kicked backward at an impossible angle!
(๑ᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)੧(#⁼̴～⁼̴)
Even though the Horse Biscuit's effect had worn off, this backward kick still stacked kinetic energy, a full-force strike!
How could Zhong Yingxue, caught off guard, react in time? She felt a large sole heading straight for her face!
It even created a sonic boom!
"Boom!"
Zhong Yingxue was kicked flying by Jiangnan's merciless strike!
With a sharp "ah" sound, Zhong Yingxue spun through the air for over a dozen meters, crashing into a building!
[From Zhong Yingxue's Resentment Value +1000!]
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Jiangnan!
How... how could you kick like that?
Jiangnan, awakened from sleep, spun around sharply to look behind him!
"I thought I heard Xuexue..."
But as he turned, his rear end was now facing Xia Yao!
As if a reflex he couldn't control, his leg instinctively kicked backward with full force!
Like tapping a little hammer on a knee, making the leg lift uncontrollably!
Xia Yao watched in terror as Jiangnan's backward kick came at her, and before she could speak, she was sent flying!
(ﾟ﹏ﾟ‧̣̥̇)ﾍ๛๛๛ኈ Ahhh~
"Xiao Nan! I'll bite you to death!"
The furious voice faded into the distance, and Jiangnan shuddered violently!
Turning again: "Ah~ Big Wolf? I didn't..."
But this turn pointed his rear at Wu Liang, and his leg kicked backward like lightning!
"Thud!"
Wu Liang, completely unprepared, was also kicked flying!
At this point, Sun Hao, Su Jin, and the others were dumbfounded. Had Nan Shen gone crazy?
Was he constantly kicking backward like a horse?
He'd already kicked three people flying in no time?
With such a powerful backward kick, if you weren't tough, you'd probably get kicked to death!
Jiangnan's forehead was drenched in sweat: "Ah! Wu Liang? I..."
He instinctively turned again, his rear now facing Sun Hao and the others!
There were at least forty to fifty people standing over there, and as he turned, his rear was in a rotating motion, covering all of them!
Jiangnan kicked backward wildly, his legs creating afterimages!
"Da da da da~"
Su Jin, Sun Hao, and everyone else were mercilessly kicked flying, not a single one spared!
Jiangnan panicked and tried to turn around to check on Sun Hao and the others!
Xiong Er: Σ(|||ʘ̆㉨ʘ̆)!!!
"Blue! Don't move! If you move again, there won't be anyone left around you!"
Xiong Er was so panicked he was tongue-tied!
Jiangnan's body froze, and he dared not move anymore!
Damn! What the hell was this backward kicking?
Couldn't anyone stand behind him? Did he have to be so alert?
And even the backward kick was a full-force strike?
He'd just kicked Xuexue and Wolf flying?
Thinking of this, Jiangnan's forehead dripped with sweat!
What the hell kind of backward kicking was that?
Did he have to inherit all these weird habits?
But this seemed much better than becoming brain-dead or something; at least for twenty-four hours, he wouldn't have to worry about someone ambushing him from behind!
Zhong Yingxue crawled out of the rubble, her big eyes full of resentment. On her originally pretty face was a large shoe print!
A stream of nosebleed flowed from her nostril!
(ꐦớ།Ϡờ)
"Xiao! Nan! When we get home, you won't... hmm~ three days! Three days without eating my cooking!"
[From Zhong Yingxue's Resentment Value +555!]
Hearing Xuexue's voice, Jiangnan shuddered and instinctively turned!
"Thud!"
Xiong Er was also kicked flying!
"Brother Nan, don't let anyone stand in the 180-degree fan area behind your butt! He'll kick backward!"
Jiangnan covered his face, I really didn't mean it!
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
It's just that every time I turn around, there's no one behind me!
Xia Yao charged over from a distance, also with a large shoe print on her face!
She leaped onto Jiangnan like a wolf, wrapping her legs around his waist!
Opening her mouth, she bit down on Jiangnan's ear!
"Who told you to kick me? Believe I'll pierce two earring holes in your earlobe with my wolf fangs?"
Jiangnan struggled: "How could I bear to kick you? It's a side effect of the Horse Biscuit!"
Xia Yao was taken aback. So Xiao Nan had been acting like a non-human earlier because he ate a Horse Biscuit?
Could the side effect be any stranger?
"Hmph~ Still not okay! There has to be punishment, bleh bleh bleh~"
Jiangnan shrank his neck, dodging: "Ahaha, my ear is so itchy, I can't... can't take it!"
Zhong Yingxue also took the opportunity to rush over and tickle Jiangnan's armpits: "Tickle tickle~"
But she absolutely dared not sneak up on Jiangnan from behind anymore!
Sun Hao, who had been kicked flying, watched this scene with a gratified smile!
His two big white front teeth silently fell out!
(›･᷄凸･᷅‹)…
[From Sun Hao's Resentment Value +1000!]
...
At this moment, on the international headline network, explosive news kept coming out one after another!
Many uninhabited areas around the world experienced violent spirit ruin eruptions!
It shocked the world, and this noon at 12 o'clock was destined to be recorded in spirit martial history!
Countries' spirit martial forces and Dao Heavens stepped in one after another to suppress the outbreaks. Even some hidden Dao Heavens showed up!
Like the United States, Russia—who didn't have some hidden reserves?
The Dao Heavens that were publicly known were only the ones revealed!
But this sudden spirit ruin eruption forced countries to take it seriously!
They couldn't afford to hide their strength anymore!
However, the results were far from satisfactory. Bad news came one after another!
In some places, by the time spirit martial forces arrived, a small town or even half a city had already been reduced to ruins!
Countless casualties, after all, it happened without warning!
Countries were doing their best to suppress the spirit calamities!
What was seen on the international web was only what was reported; this didn't include the news suppressed by higher-ups due to heavy casualties!
The Heavenly Slaughter Project truly lived up to its name!
Among all this, Hua Xia was the most special!
Before the incident, they had already deployed defenses in the major cities under attack more than two hours in advance!
Abandoning border defense in favor of city defense, they minimized the casualties from this incident!
Directing civilians to evacuate to shelters, transporting supplies, deploying defenses—everything was proceeding in an orderly manner!
Though sudden, they withstood the first wave of impact with their own strength!
Good news kept coming in!
In stark contrast to the dire situations in uninhabited areas of other countries!
Netizens around the world were discussing heatedly!
"Is this the Eastern speed? Unbelievable! Their disaster response is unbeatable! Thumbs up!"
"Jealous! Some people were mocking them for overreacting and evacuating city districts randomly; now they're eating their words!"
"I'm glad I was born in Hua Xia! Full of security! At the same time, I pray for friends around the world to get through this crisis safely!"
"I hope we have similar arrangements here. They say the beast tide is almost reaching my city. I'm scared, don't dare go out!"
Though sudden, given the years of development in various countries, suppressing the spirit calamities in uninhabited areas was only a matter of time!
After all, compared to the global spirit ruin eruption twenty-two years ago, this one wasn't too large in scale, just highly regional!
Of course, some countries weren't caught up in the spirit ruin eruptions!
Like Hongguo, Yingguo, Yuguo, and so on!
At this moment, Hua Xia, having withstood the first wave of spirit calamities, became the target of all eyes!
No country wanted to see a competitor get through the crisis so smoothly!
Because this could very well give them an opportunity to strike!
So they had to strike first, create trouble for Hua Xia, make them flustered, and delay their time in suppressing the western spirit calamity!
If I'm not doing well, I can't stand to see others doing well!
Now, Hua Xia's main forces were all deployed to the west, leaving only Ye Zhenguo defending Jing Du!
It was the perfect time to cause trouble!
Yang Jian looked at the documents on his desk with a dark expression!
He knew this would happen, but pulling people back from the west wasn't an option!
He was anxious as if being clawed, but there was no good solution!
...
Pacific Abyss Layer One, Nightless City!
Although spirit ruins erupted in various uninhabited areas, the Abyss was unaffected!
On the contrary, as the world's largest underground trade center, resource trading in Nightless City was exceptionally hot due to this incident!
Resource teams from various countries were frantically transporting supplies, extremely busy!
In this situation, binding spirit materials were the key of keys!
Inside the central lighthouse of Nightless City, the Crimson Queen Mi Ye was leisurely knitting long underwear with her spider legs.
But her eyes were glued to her phone screen!
It was playing a replay of Jiangnan's battle in Qing City's spirit ruins!
Seeing Jiangnan covered in blood from stone spikes, Mi Ye leaned forward, forgetting to knit!
"Oh no~ Fool! Why are you taking the hit head-on? Use teleportation to dodge! Don't you want to live?"
"Tsk! Use more nuclear bombs on him!"
"What's Hua Xia doing? Where are the Dao Heavens? Sending a Platinum to block a diamond-level spirit ruin? Hmph! So generous!"
"Sigh~ Don't, don't, don't! This level of enhancement? It could kill you, you know? Are you an idiot? Don't you want to live?"
Mi Ye couldn't help but stand up, watching the phone screen, her heart rising and falling, her expression shifting endlessly!
She kept mumbling, then angrily threw her phone onto the bed, turning her head away!
(ˉ～￣๑) "Hmph! Big fool! Not watching anymore!"
But her gaze couldn't help drifting back to the phone screen, sneaking a peek, then she lay back on the bed to watch!
(乛﹏乛٥) Staring~
Unconsciously, her eyes reddened, and she rubbed them!
(๑ŏ﹏ก̀๑)
Mei beside her giggled—the Queen was more into this than a soap opera, wasn't she?
