The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 550: What Other Choice but to Stay Optimistic?


This feeling grew stronger and clearer as time went on and the attack was blocked.

Xiao Feng, Su Yuzhuo, and Lin Jiaxuan all stopped attacking simultaneously, realizing that continuing like this would only waste energy without any substantial result.

Moreover, there was no effect but instead increased the opponent's proficiency.

Such thinking was reasonable because it was clear that the six people were initially not very coordinated, and there were some flaws, but the speed at which experts filled gaps and comprehended was astonishing.

At least up until the truce, obvious flaws no longer appeared.

"Is this the new big sister's ability?" Xiao Feng asked.

The six did not reply, maintaining high vigilance throughout.

Xiao Feng calmed himself, carefully pondering the issues at play.

First of all, it was certain that if the formation couldn't be broken, it was basically insoluble; the opponent seemed to have several pairs of eyes and arms, no matter how you attacked, it was never just one person you're facing.

Therefore, a clever plan must be devised.

"Shihan!"

Xiao Feng looked at the little girl opposite the six people.

"Here, here!" The little girl immediately waved her hand in agreement.

"Beat the drum!"

Upon Xiao Feng's command to beat the drum, everyone present pulled out earplugs and put them on.

Especially Fujiwara Keiaki, not only was he given earplugs, but both ears were wrapped up, looking as if he had grown pig ears.

The six exchanged glances, as if they were prepared, and simultaneously raised their left hands to press something in their ears.

Next, an awkward scene unfolded.

"Boom boom boom... boom boom boom..."

The little girl beat rhythmically, but none of those present were affected, it was completely like playing music to a bull.

Or, saying so might not be accurate because when playing music to a bull, the bull could at least hear some sound, but now no one could hear the drum sound.

Xiao Feng signaled the little girl to stop; the preparations of these six people were surely related to Belock.

However, the point now was not that, the key was how to break the formation?

Just as he was troubled, the six exchanged glances, nodded, then reached into their pockets to pull out something like an oral liquid bottle, bit off the stopper and gulped it down, "Glug glug!"

The next moment, the six people's faces turned excessively red from the paleness, as if they had consumed too much chili and gotten flushed, or drank too much alcohol.

"Yen Huang, now it's time for us to counterattack!"

One person sneered, then maintained the original formation as they stepped into a counterattack.

No need to say, this was surely the effect of the oral liquid, probably similar to stimulants.

"Wait!"

Xiao Feng opened his mouth to stop them, pointing at Su Yuzhuo, he said, "Since she's been oppressing you for so long, when counterattacking, shouldn't she come first?"

"..." Su Yuzhuo.

At this moment, she truly had an impulse to grab Xiao Feng by the collar and question him about his conscience.

However, the six were not swayed by Xiao Feng's words, as if they couldn't hear at all, still targeting him with a determined look.

"Snap!"

The little girl lashed out a long whip, attempting to draw the six's attention or to block them.

Yet, still to no avail, as if nothing could come between them and Xiao Feng.

"Wu Yu didn't tell you about the treasure here?" Xiao Feng spoke again.

This time, there was a response, one person replied with a smile, "If we can't kill you, then we definitely won't get the treasure."

It was clear, they knew there's treasure, but that's something to consider after killing him.

"How about a tactical retreat, escape first?"

Xiao Feng looked at Su Yuzhuo, then at Lin Jiaxuan, seeking their opinions.

Lin Jiaxuan's response was straightforward; with a shout, she swung her sickle forward.

"Clang!"

Three sharp claws met the wide sickle, Lin Jiaxuan only felt a powerful force collide, sending her flying.

"Xuanxuan!"

The little girl instantly panicked, but before she could attack, Lu Yao stopped her.

Even though they hadn't properly crossed swords, she knew Lin Jiaxuan's level.

Honestly, if Lin Jiaxuan couldn't defeat them, the little girl certainly couldn't either… at least for now.

Xiao Feng acted quickly, accelerating his pace, stretching out his right arm to catch the falling Lin Jiaxuan, preventing her from hitting the ground, while retreating a few steps to dissipate the impact.

"Phew…" Blood gushed out of Lin Jiaxuan's mouth as she earnestly said, "Their strength has increased at least threefold, it's impossible to beat them head-on."

Xiao Feng nodded in understanding, something he could perceive.

Because when catching Lin Jiaxuan, his entire right arm felt slightly numb from the impact, illustrating how strong the force was.

"But the problem is, if we don't fight head-on, what else can we do?" Xiao Feng retorted, "I told you to run but you didn't, are we supposed to stand still and be slaughtered?"

"Of course escaping isn't a problem, but… cough cough cough!"

Lin Jiaxuan began to cough violently.

Once her coughing subsided, Lin Jiaxuan wiped the blood on her mouth and continued, "But have you thought about how my sister found us?

If she hadn't moved here to gather reinforcements, do you think she could fight these six people?"

Xiao Feng looked at Lin Jiaxuan with interest, patting her head: "Wow, Little Jiaxuan, never thought your little brain could be so clever sometimes."

"You have time to mock me, why don't you think about how to deal with these six people?" Lin Jiaxuan replied irritably.

Sometimes she really couldn't figure out this person's mindset, as if no danger was too great for him to face with optimism, even playfulness.

To Xiao Feng, it was indeed a helpless situation.

Like now, what else can he do but stay optimistic?

If crying could deal with these six, Xiao Feng would be on the ground sobbing uncontrollably; the key is it wouldn't work, so he can only optimistically face the situation.

Setting Lin Jiaxuan down, Xiao Feng looked at Su Yuzhuo, shouting: "Help me with leverage!"

Su Yuzhuo immediately understood, kneeling down on one knee.

And Xiao Feng didn't hesitate, quickly running to step onto her fragile shoulder.

Su Yuzhuo activated force with one leg, propelling Xiao Feng into the air.

And as Xiao Feng streaked overhead, he immediately flipped, face down, legs up, gripping a dagger single-handedly, plunging downward like a missile.

This was extremely risky, even treating life like a joke, because even if the six-person formation dispersed, falling would definitely not be without damage.

At this moment, the six raised their heads uniformly, watching Xiao Feng plummet from above, each extending a sharp claw waiting for him to fall.

Then, Xiao Feng shouted: "Shihan, pull me away!"

In fact, without shouting, the little girl had already moved.

"Whiz!"

The long whip latched onto Xiao Feng, forcefully pulling him away from above.

Simultaneously, as the six's attention lingered momentarily on Xiao Feng, Su Yuzhuo's long knife had already pierced one person's neck.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng inevitably crashed to the ground.

"Boom!"

The instant collision made Xiao Feng gasp, momentarily almost losing consciousness, followed by intense pain.

The hope now rested on the six being indispensable, otherwise, this fall was for nothing.
