Chapter 833

Qi Yue asked with a light laugh, "My lord, did you see it clearly? What do you think?"

Gu Qing laughed, "My lord's Intelligence is at 10 points now, so he definitely saw it clearly. As for what it's like… look at his expression and you'll know, won't you?"

Hearing Gu Qing say that, Zhao Chi's expression also shifted from surprise to a faint smile.

"That's right, I saw it very clearly. After you switched to a two-handed sword, the Moon Blade Slash also grew larger along with it, right?"

"Mm."

"Moon Blade Slash, plus the boost from this Chengying Phoenix Cry Blade, grew even larger again, and the range also became 15 meters, right?"

"Mm."

"Not bad, really not bad. Setting aside Moon Blade Slash, just talking about this Chengying Phoenix Cry Blade—when attacking with it, the actual attack range is half again as far as the blade itself, because you have to add that phantom image, right?"

"Mm, that's right."

Qi Yue nodded rapidly.

Zhao Chi exclaimed, "I made it before but never tried it. I didn't expect the blade's effect would actually be like this. What about those female soldiers? Do they get the same effect when using it?"

Gu Qing said, "Yes, even those newly class-changed female militia are the same. After all, this is the blade's own ability, unrelated to the user."

Zhao Chi felt a little envious.

"If only this blade weren't restricted by gender."

Qi Yue said softly, "My lord, you can come into my body and just control me."

Zhao Chi laughed, "Mm, that really is a good method."

For now, this Chengying Phoenix Cry Blade's boost to Qi Yue was the greatest.

Exactly how terrifying her current killing power was, Zhao Chi could no longer be sure.

Just as he was thinking, Fourth Uncle Zhao Qiye suddenly called Zhao Chi.

【Zhao Chi, come to the Clan Leader's house immediately!】

The tone was urgent, and there was only this one sentence, with no explanation.

Zhao Chi knew something urgent must have happened.

He didn't dare delay: "Gu Qing, give me a set of clothes."

"Okay."

Gu Qing's system space always kept several sets of Zhao Chi's clothes ready, and she took them out directly now.

Tang Ruan ran over to help Zhao Chi hold the clothes open. Zhao Chi put them on at once, gave a few instructions, and teleported back to the Great World.

In the Great World, there were still quite a few people on patrol.

Besides the villagers, some alien-race soldiers were also standing guard nearby.

The moment Zhao Chi appeared, he felt five gazes converge on him.

Zhao Chi's senses were now extremely sharp; he knew those gazes all came from the alien-race soldiers beside him.

But his expression remained unchanged, and he quickly walked toward the family public hall.

Entering the public hall, he arrived at the Clan Leader's house.

Both Zhao Shizhang and Zhao Qiye were there.

Seeing Zhao Chi come in, Zhao Qiye said directly, "Xiao Ning is looking for you; she wants you to make a trip to the Xiao family. I'll go with you, but before we go I need to ask you about a few things."

Zhao Chi said in surprise, "Xiao Ning? Wants to see me?"

"That's right. Do you have some grudge with her?"

"…There was a small clash once before. I don't know if it counts."

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Zhao Chi frowned and described how Xiao Rui, Xiao Luan, and Xiao Ning had surrounded him before, but had been scared off by Zhao Chi's sword swing.

Zhao Qiye asked, "So in other words, you didn't actually hurt her at the time, right?"

Zhao Chi shook his head, "No, I just scared them off."

"Did you curse at anyone?"

"Of course I cursed. They were the ones who surrounded me first."

"That doesn't matter anymore. Xiao Ning doesn't care about that kind of thing."

Zhao Chi said helplessly, "It can't be that bad, right? It was just a small clash; I didn't even touch them. Would Xiao Ning really come after me for something like that? That's too childish."

Zhao Shizhang shook his head, "Anything can happen. We have to think ahead about everything."

Zhao Qiye said, "Right, think about whether there's anything else."

Zhao Chi shook his head, "Nothing else. There was only that one clash."

"That's good then. These past two days Xiao Ning has already made trouble for several people, all of whom had direct clashes with the Xiao family before. Yours is still mild. When the time comes, just lower your head and admit fault. Can you do that?"

Zhao Chi laughed, "What's the big deal? Just a matter of opening my mouth."

Zhao Shizhang nodded, "Exactly. Times and fate—if lowering your head can get you through something, that's the smallest price to pay. If Xiao Ning makes any demands of benefit from you, satisfy them as much as you can. The family will help you."

Zhao Qiye said, "Absolutely don't be stingy with money or anything like that. Right now that Xiao Ning is one of the alien race. Don't ever act on impulse."

Zhao Chi sighed, "Understood."

The three talked for a few more minutes. Zhao Shizhang said, "Then let's leave it at that. Don't keep Xiao Ning waiting too long. You two go quickly."

Zhao Chi and Zhao Qiye immediately headed toward the Xiao family.

By now the Xiao family residence was already surrounded by a large number of alien-race troops.

Adding in those patrolling the village, the scale was already far beyond 200 alien-race soldiers.

"Fourth Uncle, have more of the alien race come these past few days?"

"Keep your voice down. Remember to call them the Sacred Race when we're there. Another 8 lords and several hundred soldiers came yesterday. I heard the Heavenly King Army they're dealing with this time won't be easy to fight, so they sent more hands."

"Which unit are we hitting this time?"

"Not sure, but they're sending twenty alien lords now—probably a lot stronger than the ones we fought before. Anyway, enough talking, let's go in."

The two of them entered the Xiao family's main courtyard.

The courtyard was full of alien soldiers, carrying an indescribable stench of blood.

It was faint, but Zhao Chi smelled it clearly—the scent of wild beasts.

Sometimes having too keen a sense of smell really is a kind of torment.

Quickly, under the gaze of many alien soldiers, the two of them entered the large room.

The room inside was unusually fragrant.

Xiao Ning sat on the large sofa facing the door, with two alien lords seated in chairs on his left and right.

One of the lords was very short, but his eyes were extremely fierce—he was the alien lord who had instantly killed three people at the village center that day.

The other one was grinning foolishly, as if not quite right in the head.

Seeing Zhao Chi and the other enter the room, Xiao Ning said nothing, only kept examining Zhao Chi.

Zhao Qiye spoke up first: "Xiao Ning, I came along with Zhao Chi. He hasn't really dealt with people much—speaks and handles things very immaturely, always making a mess of everything. I was afraid he wouldn't know what to say, so I came with him."

Xiao Ning nodded: "Uncle Zhao Si, I understand. Zhao Chi's mouth really can't speak properly—he even cursed me as cheap trash before. Shouldn't he be hit for that?"

Zhao Qiye was stunned.

But he knew that now he could only go along with what Xiao Ning said.

"Yes, he really should be hit."

Xiao Ning turned his head with a smile: "Yan Ping, did you hear that?"

The short alien lord beside him rushed over in an instant.

Zhao Chi watched helplessly as he rushed right up to him, palm striking out at high speed.

But Zhao Chi's body simply couldn't react in time.

*Slap! *

Zhao Chi took a slap across the face.

His mouth filled with the taste of blood and sweetness.

Definitely bleeding.

When Zhao Chi looked again, the alien lord called Yan Ping had already returned to his seat.

That speed really was fast…

Faster than Qi Yue even.

So does he have 9 points in Agility?

Or maybe his Agility isn't that high, and he just specialized in movement speed?

And the force of that slap was plenty heavy too.
