Gao Junwei was stunned and he stood rooted to the ground. There was nothing he could do because the sibling’s combo was really unexpected, and they shared tacit chemistry. In a short moment, his mother had disappeared from this world.
It was just like how Gao Junwei suddenly disappeared during the provincial league semi-finals.
Unfortunately, everyone was watching as Gao Junwei disappeared and the countless viewers behind the TV had also witnessed the scene.
However, the snowfield was deserted and there wasn’t a single person in sight.
In hindsight, that was probably why Gao Junwei’s mother chose to do it here.
There was a truth that had never changed. If you wanted to hurt someone, you needed to realize that you might get hurt.
This world had never been altered by personal will.
Otherwise, given Gao Junwei’s mother’s intentions, Gao Junwei’s mental illness would long have been cured and he would have overcome his psychological barrier. On the other hand, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue would have already been ripped into shreds by her son and thrown into the snow.
Otherwise, according to Gao Junwei’s intentions, his mother would have already released by Han Jiangxue.
Yes, Gao Junwei was beyond astonished because he had never expected that to happen.
His mother, who was at the peak of the Galaxy Sage, actually died by a sneak attack?
No, she’s not dead yet, she was just thrown into the Sky Smasher. Everything can still be saved. I want to save her!
Gao Junwei gripped the Chinese sword tightly and picked up the heavily hit Han Jiangxue, held her down from behind, and placed the sword on her neck. “Open the Sky Smasher, open the Sky Smasher! Let her out!”
With a straight face and a cold gaze, Han Jiangxue stood still while blood trickled from her lips. She did not react to the sword being placed on her neck at all and it was as if she did not feel the slightest threat.
“Hey,” Jiang Xiao said from afar and Gao Junwei looked over in a panic, only to see that Jiang Xiao was standing upon an unsteady gait. “Put your sword down. If she dies, your mother really won’t be able to come out.”
Gao Junwei’s palm trembled as he held onto the sword agitatedly. He slit Han Jiangxue’s neck with the sharp sword, causing her to bleed. He then yelled, “Open the Sky Smasher! Open it! Let her out!”
Han Jiangxue turned a deaf ear to all of that, for she thought that she would never open her Sky Smasher even if she were to die.
Yes, if she were to die, Gao Junwei’s mother would forever be locked in the Sky Smasher. She would then never be able to hurt Jiang Xiao.
“Don’t you understand what I’m talking about!?! I told you to open the Sky Smasher!” Gao Junwei barked in panic and swung his sword down onto Han Jiangxue’s tight.
Swoosh!
A large and bloodied wound immediately appeared. Han Jiangxue clenched her jaw and refused to make a single sound!
Huff…
A beam of light suddenly landed and shrouded Gao Junwei and Han Jiangxue.
It was mentioned previously that during the relatively low Nebula Stage, it would be very difficult to avoid the instantaneous Star Technique purely based on instincts.
Due to the limitations of using the Star Technique, Jiang Xiao still couldn’t release his Blessing while staying still.
It was just like how Han Jiangxue used Barren Wind not to keep up with the trend but to explain to everyone that she was using her Star Technique. Hence, curling her fingers was the associated action when using Barren Wind.
Could one hide from instantaneous Star Techniques?
Of course, Gao Junwei’s mother could, and so could the bald man who once tried to behead Jiang Xiao in the Arsenal. They possessed a special skill as if they had eyes on the back of their heads that allowed them to observe everything, or they could concentrate on Jiang Xiao’s “casting” action.
Gao Junwei was obviously not among them. He had already completely panicked.
His domineering and tyrannical mother had suddenly been thrown into the Sky Smasher and controlled by others.
That was completely beyond his expectation.
Gao Junwei really panicked as he felt a great difference.
Panicking on the battlefield would be akin to giving others a chance.
Since the moment the blade left Han Jiangxue’s neck and cut her thigh, Jiang Xiao was ready to launch his Blessing.
He released a cold light before launching… uh…
After launching the Blessing, Jiang Xiao scurried away.
He was not acting cute. If possible, he would also dash towards the enemy menacingly, but he was indeed terribly injured at this moment.
Jiang Xiao’s Star Power was about to be depleted as well. During the process of charging forward, a thick, black ray of light darted out and directly connected to Gao Junwei.
It was also an advanced Gold Quality Star Technique, Counter-current Light!
Jiang Xiao, who was badly injured and whose Star Power had depleted, seemed to really have nothing to lose.
Just now, Gao Junwei was also rather hysterical. He thought that the sky had fallen and that he had lost the most important thing to him. He also had nothing to lose.
However, it turned out that he could lose more than just his mother.
For example, his life and his Star Power.
It was not that Han Jiangxue was resistant towards Blessing, but rather, she could react faster to Jiang Xiao’s Blessing because she had already been in contact with it for a long time. She did her best to push Gao Junwei away and fell into the snow while Jiang Xiao followed.
Bang!
Gao Junwei slid backward. He arched his legs and slid about eight or nine meters away. While holding onto the Chinese sword, he broke out into cold sweat and almost got pierced in the throat by the half-toothed combat sword!
Jiang Xiao took pity on him and the Counter-current Light between them was instantly elongated.
“You… you…” Gao Junwei looked at Counter-current Light in astonishment and swung the Chinese sword, but he couldn’t break the light at all. The Star Power in his body was also growing rapidly and making Gao Junwei feel extremely terrified and miserable.
On the ground, Jiang Xiao pressed Han Jiangxue’s shoulder with one hand, putting an Imprint on her.
The Silver Quality “Imprint” required physical contact to leave a mark on the target, and it was unknown if changes would appear in the future.
Feeling that the Star Power in his body and his wounds were constantly healing, Jiang Xiao felt that he had passed the most difficult period.
Three shots of Bell were thrown out one by one as its crisp and sweet sounds filled the snowfield. The bouncing medical light shuttled back and forth between the two siblings and quickly healed their bodies.
Gao Junwei’s Adam’s Apple moved and he knew that the longer he dragged it on, the less his hopes of making it out alive.
On one hand, he was concerned about his mother being in the Sky Smasher. He had personally experienced the Sky Smasher and knew what it felt like to be inside. He knew that his mother would suffocate with the lack of oxygen. The longer he delayed, the more terrible she would feel.
On the other hand, it was because of the Medical Awakened on the battlefield.
Even if Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao were smashed and severely hit by his mother to the extent of their flesh being badly mangled, the two of them had already recovered after just a few rounds.
That was the terrifying thing about Medical Awakened!
Besides, Jiang Xiao was not a proper healer… he was a toxic healer!
Not only did he make his mother get poisoned, but he was also absorbing Gao Junwei’s vitality and Star Power at this moment.
Although Counter-current Light was so-called the sharing of vitality and Star Power, Gao Junwei, whose physicality and Star Power was abundant, and Jiang Xiao, whose Star Power was depleting…
Without a doubt, Gao Junwei’s Star Power and vitality were maniacally surging towards Jiang Xiao.
How is this sharing of Star Power and vitality?
This is simply the absorption of vitality and Star Power…
It was rather fast.
Gao Junwei couldn’t afford to wait and hesitate. It was either fight or flight for him.
Gao Junwei didn’t think that he could escape because he knew Han Jiangxue’s strength too well. If he were to turn around and run now, even Jiang Xiao’s Blessing would destroy him. He must now concentrate on Jiang Xiao and hide.
If… if only the signal flare wasn’t crushed by his mother…
Gao Junwei suddenly had an idea and he thought, Why don’t I use Roar of Fear!?! Fight or flight will depend on the situation!
Gao Junwei was about to scream!
But Jiang Xiao’s words made Gao Junwei’s roar cease!
“Close your mouth!” Jiang Xiao threw out his Sound of Silence, causing the Star Power to deplete again after recovering.
Fighting required brains too.
The more critical the moment, the more one would have to stay calm because life was at stake.
Jiang Xiao had been paying close attention to Gao Junwei, who seemed to be grieving and mourning his deceased parents. The more disadvantageous the situation was to him, the more sullen his face would be. Why did his eyes light up?
Clearly, Gao Junwei already had a plan!
What was it!?!
No matter what your plan is, it can’t happen here!
In the battle between the Awakened, Star Techniques will definitely be involved.
Do you want to make a comeback!?!
Will I give you a chance!?!
I just made a comeback!
I understand that it requires full effort to catch the prey, but I wonder if that person has already been put into Little Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher.
Gao Junwei’s face was already horrendous and he stopped roaring too. He moaned a little while shivering, and his face was almost bleeding.
At the same time, Jiang Xiao felt his right hand being pulled.
Beside him, Han Jiangxue was bathing in Blessing and Bell. While tugging onto Jiang Xiao’s arm, she stood up on an unsteady gait…
She also shifted her icy cold eyes onto Gao Junwei.
