CHAPTER 338
Hey~ You're Screwed~
============================================================

"Are you so sure? What if they see through Shiyu's plan?"

Li Shiyu lifted her little head high. So what if they see through it?

"Even if they do, Shiyu has the Chaos Bell. She's got nothing to fear!"

Ye Qinghan thought: Nice one!

Even if Li Shiyu's nonsensical plan failed, they couldn't break the Chaos Bell. And since she'd be hiding far away, she'd be fine.

Li Shiyu should have been the one to draw aggro from the start!

She was so tanky, yet always hiding behind Ye Qinghan. Was that fair?

Before long, the two parted ways to prepare. Ye Qinghan reached the designated spot—a highly concealed location, or so it appeared!

Li Shiyao, however, dashed toward the edge of Su City. From Ye Qinghan's elevated vantage point, she could vaguely make out the situation over at Su City. It had been some time since the Faceless One was slain, and the black mist was gradually dissipating.

"Master! Shiyu is here to help you!" Li Shiyu waved and called out from afar!

Su Cheng fought fiercely, holding his own against five opponents. He even managed to press the advantage against them!

Divine might filled the sky. Clad in a jet-black robe, Su Cheng formed seals with one hand while wielding a sword in the other. He faced five foes without a trace of fear!

Howling winds tore at his robes, making them flutter wildly. Lightning swirled with purple flashes, illuminating his sharply defined features amidst the black mist.

Shiyao felt this was her prince charming~

"Shiyao, run!"

Li Shiyu heard the cry, but pretended not to!

"Who should I beat up?"

"Shiyao, don't come over!"

"Got it! Shiyu'll help Master beat him up!" Li Shiyu beamed with excitement, patting her chest as if to say, "Leave it to me…"

The key here is reading and replying randomly!

"Shiyao, I said hurry up and leave!"

"Shiyao knows, Master, don't worry!"

"……"

Ye Qinghan watched from the sidelines, amused. While others had one approach, this disciple had several—all centered around refusing to communicate. Shiyu had blocked your messages~

Everything unfolded exactly as Shiyao had envisioned. The moment those figures spotted Li Shiyao, they held nothing back!

As the golden gaze beneath the golden pupils locked onto the chaotic bell's golden light, two figures instantly charged toward Li Shiyu from opposite directions!

Behind them, three gleaming blades were flung, streaking toward Li Shiyu's fair, alluring form!

But Li Shiyu had no intention of trading blows with them. While she doubted these men could pierce the Chaos Bell, prolonged combat could lead to unforeseen accidents.

Even a先天至宝 (innate treasure) depended on the user's cultivation, didn't it?

Watch as layer upon layer of sword formations stacked skyward, reaching toward the heavens as if summoning a demon god…

As Li Shiyu's delicate voice faded, the sword formation instantly unfolded!

"Shiyao presents this to her master!"

"Bring it on!"

"Awesome sword formation!"

"Yaaah!"

"Shiyao, damn it, smash you rotten, you bunch of villains!"

……

Honestly, this left everyone speechless. Li Shiyu just wasn't cut out for this kind of intense action…

But damn, this sword formation is seriously massive…

The damn special effects rivaled Su Cheng's Apocalypse Demon Sword Zero Two. When it came to looking cool, Shiyu's style had always been top-tier in Lingxian Hall!

Li Shiyu's always been like this—fast moves, killer poses~

But the actual power? Not so impressive. All the budget went into the effects…….

Compared to Ye Qinghan's Godslayer Sword Formation, it falls far short! Barely on par with Clearing the Clouds?

This kind of charged-up ultimate move can't hurt a heavily armored squad capable of high-speed maneuvering. By the time it's charged up, they'd already be long gone.

The two armored men exchanged glances, honestly baffled by this tactic…

"Little sister, are you kidding me?"

"Nonsense! What's so little about Shiyao? She's not little at all!"

"Uh, well, I guess you have a point…"

【What the hell are you talking about? Kill her!】

【Yes…】

With that, Li Shiyu took off running, shouting as she went!

"Ha ha ha! Come catch me if you dare!"

"Damn it~"

The three heavily armored warriors exchanged glances: "Huh? I… Dammit, she said exactly what I was going to say…"

"Pursue her!"

[Note Su Cheng's location. Su Cheng remains a high-priority target.]

Honestly, taking Shiyao on head-on might be a three-on-one fight we can't win. But if you think you can just run?

Three men wouldn't catch her that easily.

Ye Qinghan stood by, her ultimate ability charged and ready, just waiting~

She wasn't in a hurry either. She might as well observe Li Shiyu's positioning to see if she had any clever tricks up her sleeve.

She no longer doubted Li Shiyu's intelligence—her behavioral patterns were nothing short of flawless.

Ye Qinghan was curious about only one thing now: had she always been this clever, or had she become sharp because of her master's magical artifact?

If it was the artifact, was it the bell or the gourd?

Ye Qinghan leaned more toward the bell. Clearly, Li Shiyao had realized something, which was why she'd copied her bad habits and worn a fake one on her ankle.

If the bell made her clever, why bother with a fake?

Just as Li Shiyao couldn't fathom why anyone would enjoy being beaten, Ye Qinghan couldn't understand why anyone would choose to remain unintelligent, deliberately wanting to be a little fool.

This defied logic. Ye Qinghan insisted it couldn't be so. There must be another reason—perhaps it wasn't the bell at all, but the wine from the gourd?

Watching Shiyuo act almost greedily, deliberately pretending to run blindly and feigning extreme fear, she had actually drawn the three heavily armored warriors together!

It was as if the tables had turned. Earlier, Su Cheng had been chasing them, but now they were the ones pursuing Li Shiyu!

[Does it really take three men to deal with a little girl?]

But Ye Qinghan hadn't anticipated that this too was part of Li Shiyu's plan. If she'd been alone, the black-armored man would have had no room for negotiation.

With three, they might abandon the chase after a certain distance, or be recalled.

But with three, this was a death sentence. Even if he harbored doubts, retreat was impossible.

As planned, Li Shiyao put on a show and even made contact with the black-armored man. But it wasn't feigned defeat—she genuinely couldn't win…

She simply activated her invulnerability shield and fled. She ran, he chased—he couldn't escape even if he grew wings.

Ye Qinghan watched as Li Shiyu, looking slightly comical, lured the man straight toward her~

Shiyao never disappointed her, but what followed was now her senior sister's responsibility.

This place was a death trap within a death trap—for Li Shiyao, and equally so for the man.

Because once they reached this point, escape was impossible. Both of them knew it.

"You little bitch! You won't escape!"

"Shiyao is no little bitch, and besides, Shiyao isn't running anymore!"

Li Shiyu leapt high into the air, landing in the center of the clearing with a smug expression that said the other was doomed!

"Hmph, big talk. Anyway, once you're here, you won't be able to—"

Before the words could finish, something felt off. She looked up…

It was none other than Ye Qinghan's Frostblade Formation!

The swarm of sword shadows made no concessions to anyone. The oppressive pressure felt like a locust plague, dense and relentless!

If struck by them, it wouldn't be as simple as being pierced like a sieve—one would likely be torn to shreds by this sword formation!

"You actually…"

"Hmph! Did you think Shi Yao was alone? Shi Yao has an invincible senior sister!"

Li Shiyu stuck out her little tongue and made a funny face at the man: "Hehehe~ Hey~ You bastard~"

As the words fell, Ye Qinghan parted her crimson lips to softly chant the words "Frost Blade." Instantly, a swirling dance of sword shadows erupted, surging toward the man!
