Chapter 377: Third Hundred and Seventy-Eighth Chapter: A Chat?

"Roar!!"

The roar of the Death Servants was right in her ears; Laila gripped the corner of Yuri's clothes tightly, not daring to let go.

Yuri brandished his scimitar to fend off the Death Servants lunging at them, but because of the bullet wound on his knee, he was struggling more and more.

Xie Wanning used a hand blade to decapitate a Death Servant, then took Queen Fatima and vaulted over a high wall, reuniting with Yuri and Laila on the other side.

"There are too many of them; if we go on like this, none of us will make it out!"

Xie Wanning pushed Queen Fatima toward Yuri, struck the group of Death Servants back with a True Qi Shockwave, and said without looking back, "You go first, I'll cover the rear!"

"But..." Yuri wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"No more 'buts'! Chen Che isn't here right now; we can't escape the pursuit of these monsters while carrying two ordinary people. You are from Ansili, you know this place well—hurry and take them to find a place to hide, I will come find you!"

Xie Wanning crossed her hands in a lifting gesture, True Qi flowing slowly from her body, "Go, quickly!"

The group of Death Servants lunged again; Xie Wanning gave a loud shout, clenched her hands, and a pair of True Qi Whips appeared in her grasp.

She swung her arms violently, and the True Qi Whips crossed and lashed out at the group of Death Servants lunging at her.

"Crack!!!"

A sound like firecrackers exploding crackled through the air.

The Death Servants struck had their skin torn and flesh mangled, blood and gore flying everywhere, and some even died on the spot.

Yuri stopped being sentimental, gritted his teeth against the pain in his knee, and ran with the Queen and the Princess, but just as he turned into an alleyway, he retreated back out.

Burton had led men to intercept them, forcing them to retreat back into the alley.

"Yuri, Princess, come back with me; do not go against His Majesty the King any longer."

Burton had a bandage wrapped around his head, blood seeping through the white gauze; his knee was also bandaged, and he looked quite disheveled.

Yuri sneered: "It seems I didn't hit you hard enough."

Burton's mouth twitched, and he grew angry from embarrassment: "So what if Chen Che has strong skills? Didn't he just abandon you all and run the moment he saw these Death Servants of His Majesty the King?! I wasn't prepared before; don't let me see him again, or I will personally finish him off!"

Laila couldn't bear to hear Burton talk about Chen Che, and shouted: "Chen didn't abandon us! He must have had something important to do!"

Burton gave a contemptuous cold snort: "Is that so? Regardless of whether he ran or not, you aren't going anywhere."

Burton waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him swarmed forward.

"Burton, you dare!"

Yuri let out a loud roar and immediately circulated his True Qi, but he was seized by the Martial Artist soldiers who swarmed him and had a Limiter put on.

As for Queen Fatima and Princess Laila, they had no strength to truss a chicken and were naturally bound easily.

"I say, you three, don't struggle anymore; it's meaningless. Once tomorrow passes, the sky over Ansili will truly have changed."

As Burton spoke, he looked toward the other end of the alley; Xie Wanning was still intently fighting the group of Death Servants to stall for time, completely unaware that the three of them had already been captured.

"Click!"

A bullet was chambered; Burton raised his gun and aimed at Xie Wanning.

"Burton, you dare?!"

Yuri roared in a panic, struggling with all his might.

Laila also hurriedly said: "Burton, you are not allowed to hurt her... Chen won't let you off!"

"Hmph!"

Burton snorted coldly, "Let's see how this coward of his is going to 'not let me off'."

"Bang!"

The bullet was fired; the True Qi Bullet drew a long line through the air and shot toward Xie Wanning's back.

Xie Wanning felt the chill coming from behind, but hindered by the attacks of the Death Servants in front of her, she could not dodge in time.

She gritted her teeth, kicked a Death Servant away, dropped the True Qi Whips, and lunged rapidly to her side.

"Pfft~~"

The True Qi Bullet pierced her right shoulder, drawing a line of blood, and struck the forehead of a Death Servant.

Xie Wanning slammed into the wall and rolled onto the ground; she lifted her head with difficulty and saw Burton wearing a ferocious grin.

"Roar! Roar!!"

The Death Servants behind swarmed in, covering Xie Wanning and pinning her underneath.

"No!!!"

Yuri, Queen Fatima, and Princess Laila all let out a desperate roar together.

"Drip~~"

For a moment, time stopped, and the entire space fell into absolute silence.

The sound of a water droplet falling into the ocean rang out, and in an instant, a gentle energy ripple spread outward like water waves.

The group of Death Servants pinning Xie Wanning dissipated like sand.

Chen Che flashed into existence and scooped Xie Wanning up into his arms.

Xie Wanning rested her pointed chin on Chen Che's shoulder, opened one eye to look at him, and complained: "Where did you run off to? I almost died."

"Sorry, I came back late."

Chen Che held Xie Wanning's waist with one hand, while his other hand formed a seal with his fingers; a tree grew from above Xie Wanning's head and then withered away.

Xie Wanning widened her eyes in surprise, looking at her own body in disbelief; all the pain and injuries were gone.

"You... how did you do that?" Xie Wanning looked at Chen Che in amazement.

Chen Che smiled: "An Exclusive Secret Technique."

Seeing his smug look, Xie Wanning rolled her eyes, her expression revealing an undisguised... doting affection?!

The two of them turned their heads simultaneously to look at Burton.

Burton was already stunned.

The scene before his eyes completely exceeded his understanding; he had originally thought Chen Che using an Array for an Immobilization Technique was already heaven-defying enough, but he never expected this guy to have such monstrous means!

Is this really a Martial Artist... no... this is simply not something a human can achieve!

Yuri, Laila, and Queen Fatima were also stunned on the spot, their expressions changing from astonishment to joy.

The remaining soldiers were also all shocked beyond measure, each and every one of them dumbfounded, looking at one another in dismay.

Those death-sworn monsters had all been reduced to ashes, so what ability did they have to deal with such a monster... rely on the guns in their hands?

If he used the Immobilization Technique one more time, wouldn't they just be slaughtered like lambs?!

"Clang!"

It was unknown who was the first to drop their weapon and turn to run, but the remaining soldiers were thrown into a panic, throwing down their weapons one after another and scattering like birds and beasts.

Burton watched his fleeing subordinates, his heart also panicking; he wanted to chase after them, but his movements were too wide, pulling at his knee, and he stumbled, nearly falling.

By the time he raised his head again, Chen Che had already arrived before him, smiling at him very kindly.

Yet, this friendly smile, in Burton's eyes, was more terrifying than a life-taking evil ghost.

"Thump!"

Ignoring the pain in his knee, Burton gave a start, knelt down, and looked at Chen Che with a face full of fear and pity.

"Didn't you say before that if you saw me again, you would shoot me dead?" Chen Che looked at Burton with a half-smile and said.

Burton's lips trembled, his eyes brimming with tears: "How would I dare... I was just running my mouth... You are a magnanimous person, please don't lower yourself to my level... I was also just acting on Hogan's orders..."

Xie Wanning had already helped the Queen and Laila up, and after helping Yuri remove the Limiter on his body, she strode up and kicked Burton to the ground.

"Shooting to kill me was also Hogan's order?! You have some nerve!"

Xie Wanning rained punches and kicks down on Burton.

Burton covered his head, curled up on the ground, and silently endured it.

Chen Che looked at the three of them, Yuri included, and asked: "How are you all?"

Yuri shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Chen!"

Laila rushed over with teary eyes, burrowed into Chen Che's embrace, and cried incoherently, "Chen... Chen... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's my fault... I thought... I would never see you again... I'm sorry..."

Chen Che gently patted Princess Laila's back, comforting her: "Alright, alright, Your Highness Princess, it's already over."

Princess Laila reluctantly left Chen Che's warm embrace, pursing her lips and sobbing.

Queen Fatima walked forward, her face full of guilt as she said: "Chen, noble friend, thank you for saving us; I express my most sincere apologies for my previous misunderstanding of you."

As she spoke, Queen Fatima bowed deeply and sincerely.

Chen Che smiled: "I accept your apology... Let's not talk about this for now, we have more important things to do."

"Senior Sister, that's enough; if you beat him to death, the subsequent matters will be harder to handle."

Chen Che said to Xie Wanning.

Xie Wanning stopped punching and kicking Burton, put her hands on her hips, and panted for breath.

Burton was bruised and swollen, seeing stars; in a daze, he saw Chen Che squat down to look at him, his smile kind and friendly: "Shall we chat?"
