Chapter 71: Rescue!

  Xiao Hong, who was at the distant crossroads, could naturally see such a scene. Mu Xi'er was in danger. In Xiao Hong's heart, and even in the eyes of the people of Tai Wu City, Mu Xi'er was an idol, but to the soldiers, she was just an ordinary citizen of the Republic of China.

  And faced with Muxi'er's natural restraint, those guys with unknown identities would naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

  What's more important is that from the black-clad man leading them, it seems they have no qualms about killing civilians. In this case, Muxi'er will undoubtedly become even more dangerous.

  With this series of analysis, Xiao Hong only slightly pondered for a moment, then took a step back, activated his usual three magic tattoos, and covered his face with a black cloth. He turned around and rushed straight into the chaotic streets, which had now become a battlefield.

  As for this piece of black cloth, it is temporarily used to conceal one's identity, prevent being recognized by others, and avoid unnecessary trouble after the event.

  On the battlefield, a hint of severity had already flashed across Mo Xuan's face. As a Master-level cultivator, he wouldn't be in any danger at all. However, there was someone far away with an unknown identity and wearing a disguise mask who seemed to have also reached the Master level, making him somewhat troublesome to deal with.

  What he felt most severe was Mu Xi'er. Today's commotion would have already caused trouble for the mayor. Once Mu Xi'er got hurt, as a public figure, it would definitely cause a stir and have a negative impact on their future work.

  If we divert our attention to rescue now, the charioteer in front of us will be freed and may cause casualties among the soldiers.

  It can be said that Mo Xuan never expected that his opponent would have a defense, and five people suddenly turned into twenty!

  Whoosh!

  Just as Mo Xuan felt extremely difficult, a purple shadow suddenly flashed by his side, like a purple lightning bolt, with an extremely light and effortless movement, giving people a feeling of fleeting uncertainty.

  As for Xiao Hong who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, Mo Xuan naturally did not know him, let alone that Xiao Hong was now wearing a mask, and when Mo Xuan saw Xiao Hong, he was wearing armor.

  Just as he was about to reach out and stop this person of unknown identity, it turned out that Xiao Hong had once again continuously activated the three Shadow Strike tattoos and escaped from his line of sight in a flash.

  As for Xiao Hong's attire, Mo Xuan didn't recognize it, but he recognized Xiao Hong's magic pattern, as well as the four strange energy fangs on his back.

  With this discovery, Mo Xuan no longer paid attention to him. Although he still couldn't determine Xiao Hong's purpose for coming here, he was certain that Xiao Hong wasn't in cahoots with them.

  Actually, according to Xiao Hong's character, he wouldn't appear in such a dangerous place, but that depends on who is in danger. Xiao Hong himself was very clear that if he let Muci continue to stay in the center of the street, it was very likely that she would lose her life. Could he bear to see the person he liked die? He would have nightmares for the rest of his life.

  At the same time, as the scene entered a white-hot state, the diverse energy bodies flying in the air also became denser. On the ground, fragments of rocks continuously surged towards Muci.

  As for the previous assistant, at first, he could still hold on a little, but now it seems that he can't even save himself.

  Bang! Bang!

  As two loud explosions came, the two horseshoe-shaped energy bodies ruthlessly slammed into the pale blue magic pattern car. The roof of the car instantly collapsed, and another one was rushing towards Muxi's head to explode. If it hit, both Muxis would be blown to smithereens.

  The assistant on the other side was desperately resisting the attack from the front and had no energy to spare for Muxi'er behind him.

  Muxi'er saw this scene, a pair of apricot eyes couldn't help but open wide, the blood color on her face had already faded away, she was just a little girl, and her heart's capacity to withstand it was naturally limited.

  Boom!

  At this critical moment, four sword-like fangs suddenly passed through Muxi'er's side and collided with the horseshoe-shaped energy body, instantly forming a huge light group.

  Before Muxi'er could react, she only felt a sharp pain in her arm, and then a strong pulling force suddenly pulled her up from her original position.

  Instinctively turning around, I saw that my arm had already been entwined by a thorny vine and was rapidly being pulled towards a masked man.

  Just as Muxi'er had just left his original position, a section of energy body happened to hit the top, forming a ditch, stone pavement, and shattered immediately.

  With this discovery, although Mu Xi'er was still in a state of shock, she had already felt that the masked person was not a bad person.

  Quickly and agilely embracing Mu Xi'er, Xiao Hong immediately turned around and kicked his assistant's waist with one foot, directly kicking the assistant flying out. The next moment, three energy beams flew past between Xiao Hong and his assistant, which was extremely dangerous.

  "Quickly!" Xiao Hong yelled at his assistant and then swiftly turned around, dashing towards a small alley beside the street.

  The assistant who was kicked, naturally understood that Xiao Hong had just saved him and wasn't an enemy. However, seeing Mu Xi'er being taken away by Xiao Hong like this still made him a bit uneasy. Nevertheless, thinking about chasing after Xiao Hong now would undoubtedly require taking considerable risks. Among them, even the most ordinary person seemed to have a much higher level than him.

  Even a tenth-level carriage driver is worlds apart from a first-level one, unfortunately, he could only stumble and stagger in the opposite direction towards the other side of the street.

  On the other side, Xiao Hong's days were not going well either. Although these people would not set them as targets for attack, who could guarantee that they wouldn't be hurt by stray bullets?

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, just as Xiao Hong had arrived at the roadside, a relatively safe area, a black ball the size of a watermelon suddenly shot out from behind him. With quick reflexes, Xiao Hong once again manipulated the four energy fangs on his back, charging straight ahead, and another explosion erupted behind him.

  The massive impact force instantly tore open the clothes on Xiao Hong's back, fortunately, Xiao Hong's long-term training made his body strong enough, only leaving a few scars on his back, if it were an ordinary person, this would probably shatter several bones.

  Similarly, just from this impact force, Xiao Hong could feel that the person who released this energy ball was absolutely a Tier 3 or Tier 4 Rider.

  However, at this moment, Xiao Hong, who was holding Mu Xi'er, suddenly changed his expression because he suddenly felt that his Tiger Tooth Magic Pattern had signs of energy leakage, and the internal energy had begun to become blurred.

  "Bad!" Xiao Hong couldn't help but exclaim, but for now, he couldn't think too much about it. He once again activated the Shadow Strike pattern and suddenly sprinted forward a great distance, stumbling into a narrow alleyway, temporarily entering a safe zone.

  "Phew..." Seeing that the two groups of people were not aiming at them, Xiao Hong let out a long sigh and removed the black cloth strip from his face.

  "Xiao... Xiao Hong, is it really you?" Mu Xi'er, who had slightly calmed down, still remembered Xiao Hong's face. She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him with a face full of incredulity. She couldn't think of any reason why Xiao Hong would risk his life to save her.

  "Yes." Xiao Hong responded vaguely, then carefully put Mu Xi'er down and quickly retracted the Tiger Tooth Battle Mark.

  Just as Xiao Hong withdrew the Tiger Tooth Battle Mark, two cracking sounds rang out, and then white jade fragments slowly fell from his fingers to the ground, the Tiger Tooth Battle Mark shattered.

  Mu Xi'er, standing in front of Xiao Hong, naturally knew that this was a sign of the demonic pattern shattering and becoming useless. She also knew the importance of the battle pattern to the pattern master, which was basically the foundation of their survival, like an arm. And she also knew that Xiao Hong had sacrificed his battle pattern to save her.

  With this series of thoughts, a hint of guilt arose in Muxi'er's heart.

  "Your battle scar..." Mu Xi'er said cautiously, her slender hand pointing at the tiger tooth battle scar held in Xiao Hong's right hand.

  "It's nothing." Xiao Hong responded simply and clearly, then clenched his hand and stuffed the fragments of the tiger tooth pattern into the magic pattern bag. This battle pattern hid secrets about concave patterns and patterns within patterns, and Xiao Hong naturally wouldn't let others know, even if it was Mu Xi'er.

  "You... why did you save me?" After a while, Mu Xi'er asked in a low voice, this was also her doubt. She and Xiao Hong could be said to have only met once, which couldn't possibly justify Xiao Hong risking his life to rescue her.

  "This... " Xiao Hong was momentarily at a loss for words, and couldn't just come out and say that he liked Mu Xi.

  However, at this time, the shrill crying sound of a girl suddenly entered the ears of Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er. The two turned their heads in unison, only to see that on the street where the war was still raging and chaotic, a little girl sat alone, helplessly crying. By now, most of the civilians had been evacuated, so there was only one little girl who stood out particularly.

  "Huh?" Suddenly, Xiao Hong's voice changed, and his gaze also changed as he carefully observed. He could clearly see that the little girl was none other than Lei Xiaoting.

  Perhaps out of instinct, Muxi'er was now hiding behind Xiao Hong, only poking half of her head out from behind Xiao Hong's shoulder, and naturally saw Lei Xiaoting again. As for Lei Xiaoting, as well as the Zelei family, Muxi'er was naturally aware of them, since no one could have been unaware of them after the flyer incident.

  "It's so pitiful. If we don't save her now, she'll definitely die." Murong Xi'er said softly behind Xiao Hong, her tone filled with the kindness unique to girls.

  For Lei Xiaoting, Xiao Hong thought there was no connection between them, and if he didn't see her, it would be fine. But after seeing her, he still chose to ignore her and watched as the little girl lost her life before his eyes. This weighed heavily on Xiao Hong's conscience.
