Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!-Chapter 156: Combat Experience

They actually dug a hole here and uncovered a hatch, revealing indeed half a bag of coarse grain. They took it out and weighed it; it was too little, only about three to four kilos, and all coarse grain, with no fine grain at all.

"Boss, look at this." The underling took out the grain they found.

The burly boss was very unhappy, "You think you can just brush me off with this little? That old hag really doesn’t want to live."

The irritable burly boss instantly stepped harder.

Crack! Crack!

He broke several of the old woman’s ribs, causing her such pain that she couldn’t utter a word, cough! She choked on a large mouthful of fresh blood.

The restrained Nannan watched her grandmother vomiting blood continuously, anxiously crying and shouting, "No! No! Let go of grandma!"

Wailing!

"Grandma, don’t die! Nannan can’t be without you."

Wailing!

Next door, Cheng Xiaoxiao could no longer bear it, the little girl’s cries were too sorrowful and piercing.

Filled with anger, she grabbed her long sword and rushed over.

Before leaving, she said to Dongfang Xu, "I’ll take care of this. If I can’t, you step in."

As Cheng Xiaoxiao stepped into the yard, she saw five scruffy big men arrogantly committing violence, with the burly one in the lead threatening the old woman to quickly hand over anything valuable.

He then signaled for one of the underlings to tightly grip the little girl’s throat.

The threat was evident.

The old woman, eyes wide open, looked at her granddaughter whose face was red and struggling to breathe. Her eyes were filled with rage but she was powerless.

The burly leader stepped on the old woman on the ground, twisting his foot forcefully, as if the old woman was about to die, a few underlings on the side watching as if it wasn’t the first time they were doing such things.

As Cheng Xiaoxiao stepped into the yard, the five men turned their heads in unison to look over.

They saw a pretty little girl walking into the yard and widened their eyes; it was rare to see such a clean, fair-skinned little girl these days. Could their luck be any better!

With blatant lewd desire in their eyes, it made Dongfang Xu want to end these filthy things with a sword; how dare they look at Xiaoxiao with such disgusting gazes.

Two of the underlings sneaked towards Cheng Xiaoxiao, "Little beauty, where are you from? Do you want us brothers to keep you company?"

When Cheng Xiaoxiao revealed her long sword from behind, the faces of the five men changed, but seeing that she was alone, with her frail little arms and legs, how could she possibly defeat their five big guys, especially with their boss being so formidable, they suddenly laughed triumphantly again.

"Let her go." Cheng Xiaoxiao said coldly, glaring angrily.

The little girl sure was fierce, quite intimidating.

Since she came on her own, they wouldn’t be polite.

Hahaha!

None of them believed Cheng Xiaoxiao would dare to use the sword to kill.

Cheng Xiaoxiao lifted her sword tip again, pointing at the man restraining the little girl.

"Let her go."

Suddenly, a stone flew quickly, hitting the hand gripping the little girl, and in that moment of pain and release, Cheng Xiaoxiao dashed forward, stabbing her sword into the man’s chest.

With swift precision, Cheng Xiaoxiao pulled out the sword, and pulled the little girl from the ground, hiding her behind her.

"Find a place to hide yourself."

The four men stared wide-eyed, looking at their companion lying in a pool of blood, eyes open even in death.

They were dumbfounded, not expecting the little girl to be so ruthless.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t care how incredulous the men were; taking advantage while they hadn’t reacted, she rushed with the wind, slicing down and killing another one.

The burly leader, seeing two brothers instantly lifeless, shouted angrily, "All together, kill her!"

The two men nearby snapped back to reality, grabbing their weapons immediately, one holding a hoe, the other a shovel, charging towards Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Cheng Xiaoxiao showed no fear, slashing her sword at the shovel, at the same time, a flying kick sent the foul-smelling man to the ground, meeting another’s axe, in a round she flipped him to the ground, her sword slashing his throat, leaving him to die with unclosed eyes.

When dealing with the first man, the stench had already wafted around Cheng Xiaoxiao, and after a few bouts, the nauseating smell made her nearly retch.

The burly leader saw how formidable Cheng Xiaoxiao was, scared, hurriedly fled, and just as he reached the door, pain shot through his ankle, causing him to fall to the ground.

By this time, Cheng Xiaoxiao had dealt with the fourth man, rushing over, determined not to let this disgusting thing escape, the burly man felt the ominous sword energy from behind, rolled over, dodging Cheng Xiaoxiao’s sword.

He pulled a sharp dagger from his waist, licking his cracked, dry lips, his bulging fish-like eyes revealing a vicious glint.

Knowing he faced a tough opponent today, if he didn’t fight, it would mean certain death.

"Damn it, I’ll fight you to the death."

Cheng Xiaoxiao charged straight after him with fierce sword energy, the two clashing together.

Initially, when the burly man saw his companions killed, he fled in panic; Cheng Xiaoxiao thought he was just an ordinary person without martial skills, but didn’t expect this crusty man had some tricks, a trained fighter.

In a few rounds of exchanges, it became clear.

Having a tougher opponent had its advantage, as just now, those few lacked combat ability, Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn’t fully satisfied with the fight. This man served well for practice.

Only to see Cheng Xiaoxiao use a move ’Sweeping the Stars’, channeling all the airflow within her, struck down fiercely, while the man rolled to the ground, grabbing a handful of dust, flinging it towards Cheng Xiaoxiao.

The fierce sword force shook him back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, while the thrown dust prevented Cheng Xiaoxiao from immediately pursuing the advantage, forcing her to raise a hand to shield her face.

While she turned sideways shielding her face, the man tightly gripped the sharp dagger, swiftly launching a surprise attack; had it not been for her strong sword force just now, shaking him back several steps, at that distance, she couldn’t have dodged the man’s attack.

In the rare two-second gap, Cheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly used her sword for defense, just managing to block the dagger’s tip, the clash of blade and sword resounded with a clang, screeching!

The burly man, frustrated, hadn’t expected the little girl to escape this ordeal; he increased his strength, pressing hard, forcing Cheng Xiaoxiao to retreat repeatedly, she turned sharply, brushing aside the dagger, rolled over, and with scissor-like legs, instantly attacked the man’s calves.

The burly man, regaining himself, aimed the dagger downward, intending to cripple Cheng Xiaoxiao’s legs.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wouldn’t give him this chance, lifting her sword, the man hurriedly intercepted with the dagger, inadvertently injuring his waist and abdomen, causing the wound to gush blood.

With her legs still entwined, he had no choice but to kneel under the force.

The burly man clutched his wounded side, the ferocity in his eyes intensified, staring vilely at Cheng Xiaoxiao as if wishing to tear her into pieces.

Cheng Xiaoxiao glared back fiercely; these scums should have died long ago, filth that was wasting air by living.

Not giving the burly man a chance to breathe, with a nimble leap, she approached swiftly, her sharp sword plunged into his chest.

The burly man’s left hand gripped the sword tightly, ignoring the copious blood on his hand, he gave Cheng Xiaoxiao a sinister smile.
