Chapter 320: with translation of chapter title

Brother, you haven't changed at all, you're still so ugly.

Jiang Xia is much better-looking." Mio gave a satisfied smile to the two of them.

In her memory, it seemed the three of them hadn't changed much, as if they'd returned to long ago; she could now tell Rick and Jiang Xia apart at a glance.

Mio, you can see! Great, we succeeded, Ou." Rick was happy like a child and directly lifted Mio from the stone bed.

Thank you, I've never been this happy before." Rick set his sister down, happily said.

Well, since Mio has regained her sight, I should also set out.

Although Jiang Xia didn't want to pour cold water on them now, he had to act, to exterminate the Langji.

Setting off, Jiang Xia, where are you going?" Mio, who had just been happy with them, asked as the atmosphere suddenly darkened among the three.

Just going out for a bit, nothing serious." Jiang Xia waved his hand.

Yeah, indeed just a simple outing." Rick forced a smile at Mio.

Mio, I and Jiang Xia need to discuss what to bring for the trip, so you go rest first." Rick said gently to Mio.

Sensing the odd atmosphere, Mio could only nod and leave this place.

After confirming Mio had left, Rick immediately became solemn.

After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Jiang Xia and said seriously: "I'll go with you; this should originally be my responsibility."

He simply didn't want to fight, which doesn't mean he couldn't fight; the so-called lack of fighting spirit is because he doesn't want to hurt anyone.

No, it's mine now; I have no reason to let a brother leave his sister to join a brutal battle." Jiang Xia shook his head.

But...

Seeing this, Rick still wanted to say something, but Jiang Xia spoke again: "Lin Duo also needs protection; we don't know how many Langji there are, and Lin Duo won't flee from battle, so you need to guard the village and wait for my return."

Although Jiang Xia didn't say it outright, Rick understood that the witch had betrayed them, and the Langji could attack at any time; if Jiang Xia left, Lin Duo would become an indefensible village, which is fatal.

You must come back." Seeing this, Rick could only agree.

Don't worry, I have the aid of the spirit stone; I'm quite strong now." Jiang Xia patted Rick's shoulder.

At that moment, Rick felt as if he had momentarily disconnected from his surroundings, and inexplicably his stomach felt a bit uncomfortable, but only for an instant.

He didn't take it to heart, merely silently watching Jiang Xia's departing back, for what followed was endless slaughter.

Although Lin Duo loved peace and rarely took lives, facing their enemy the Langji, they too would become fierce.

Under the dual resonance of the Earth Library and the spirit stone at his waist, Jiang Xia quickly learned the Langji's nest.

Without informing the village chief, he looked up at the dark night sky and quickly left alone.

Ah—!

The lustrous white moon shone at the center of the night sky; under its pure moonlight came a cry of extreme fear.

In the dark forest, everywhere was filled with silence; even occasional rustling could not hide that the night was a dangerous paradise.

With a sound of wings vibrating, a fearful cry suddenly came from the sky not far away; Jiang Xia, hurrying through the dense forest, abruptly looked up.

A pitch-black winged shadow seized a dark object and flew through the sky; the piercing scream came from its body.

Jiang Xia had just prepared to fly up to save someone, but at that moment he turned his head toward the surrounding trees emitting a gloom.

Pairs of scarlet eyes lit up rapidly in the darkness, and the insects' sounds around were instantly silenced.

Already gathered and waiting for me here? Looks like the Langji will swarm all at once." The atmosphere around Jiang Xia, already extremely dangerous, spoke slowly.

This is the Void Self the Great King spoke of; as long as I bring his flesh and blood to the Great King, I will gain greater strength." A Langji resembling a cricket, face cruel, looked at the surrounded Jiang Xia and said confidently.

And the surrounding Langji, under the bright moon, one by one revealed their true forms, atop their human shapes were different animal traits.

However, although their appearances differed, their bodies were all a bluish-black color, giving Jiang Xia the feeling they were merely very weak existences.

Nevertheless, such combat power would be more than enough to slaughter a human village cleanly.

Void Self, let's see just how strong you are.

In the sky, the bat-like Langji flapping its membrane wings opened its split maw and laughed hehe.

And on its huge foot claws, a random unknown human it had grabbed had already fainted from fright.

The one who captured Lin Duo did so merely because it was hungry; it has always fed on Lin Duo's fresh blood.

After finishing the task the Great King assigned, he would, in front of the Void Self, directly suck dry the captured Lin Duo's fresh blood.

At that time, the wingless Void Self could only watch helplessly as the Lin Duo it was supposed to protect died, which made its mood for eating much better.

Roar! Numerous Langji leapt high together in the moonlight, like a pack of wolves attacking en masse, and lunged fiercely at Jiang Xia, who still looked merely human.

Transform!

Swish! Crimson armor materialized out of nowhere covering Jiang Xia's body; the spirit stone at his waist suddenly flared, and before the Langji could react, the Void Self appeared.

The scarlet pupils reflected the fighting silhouettes of the surrounding Langji; Jiang Xia slightly tilted his head, one hand gripping the wrist of the cricket-like Langji that had just worn a fierce expression, then with his other hand he turned right to dodge the claw of another Langji reaching for him, lifted his right foot encased in armor, and kicked into the air.

The kick, carrying incomparable force, instantly sent the cricket-like Langji's body flying into midair.

Before the cricket-like Langji could react, the spot where it was struck suddenly burst with unimaginable explosion.

Boom!

A huge ancient rune expanded in the air, instantly engulfing the cricket-like Langji's body.

Such an explosion did not draw the attention of the Langji besieging Jiang Xia, or rather, they dared not look.

Because the Void Self's combat power had far surpassed what they could comprehend.

One of the leopard-like Langji merely blinked, and the Void Self's fist had already struck its chest; then it watched as the crimson-muscle-wrapped fist seized the head of its companion,

With a mighty pull, the ferocious head and spine were ripped out by the Void Self, spraying crimson blood across its face.

Who really is the Langji? Then, it lost consciousness in the erupting flames.
