"What the fuċk are you guys doing?! Kill that guy already. We do not have time for drama. Do you lot want to die?" The boss of the cannon fodders shouted towards other cannon fodders.
Hearing him, other cannon fodders seems to realize something, probably that they would be killed if the mission is not completed.
I see as every cannon fodder grits their teeth as if making the biggest decision of their lives.
Every one of them took out their weapons and did a battle cry.
Shouting towards the sky, they started to run towards me. I wonder if they are feeling guilty for killing an 'innocent' father like me and then will force my 'daughter' to do their bidding.
For some reason, it did not come out that well. Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. But since I am already acting, then why not till the end?
Seeing them coming towards me, I shift my body, so AnBai and Su Ling'er are protected while showing my back towards the cannon fodders.
I shout with despair, "Noo!"
As if to answer my shout, Su Ling'er shouted, "Big Brother!"
It seems that AnBai is tired of the drama even though it is so fun.
Soon the cannon fodders reached me. They slashed their weapons at me with their full force. As the weapons made contact with me, a loud explosion occurred, separating me from AnBai and Su Ling'er.
Dust raised and covered my surroundings.
"Now that the annoying fly is gone, why don't you come with us, little miss and girl over there?"
I heard the sound of the cannon fodders leader. He really is an idiot. He had not even checked the body and believed that his enemy is dead, or was I not even considered an enemy? Now I am sad.
"Well, time to finish this," I said as I dust the dirt off me.
As the cloud of dust settles down, I see the astonished faces of cannon fodders, especially the boss. Man, his expression is priceless.
His face tells me that he could not believe that I am alive.
Not his fault. Anyone would be surprised.
"You! How are you alive?!" He shouted at me.
Really? Well, not that I accepted much from cannon fodder.
I looked towards AnBai, who was back to her blank expression. It is quite hard to tell what she is thinking.
"Big Brother!" Su Ling'er shouted as she saw that I am safe. Such a good girl. I was thinking of leaving her for Yun Che as they had a past with each other, although in another timeline.
But it seems that is not going to happen. Such a cute girl, can't have Yun Che take her. He is already acting weird these days. I wonder what face he would make if he found out that she is alive? Really makes me look forward to it.
Though I should clarify, I am not a sadist… I think.
Now how should I deal with these guys?
Hm? I looked towards AnBai and remembered her ability. I wonder if her ability can be used to erase someone's existence.
"AnBai," I called her, gaining her attention.
"Can you try using your ability and erase their existence?" I asked.
AnBai makes a thinking face and nodded. "I can try, master."
She takes a step towards the cannon fodders, who were watching vigilantly towards her. So now they think she can hurt them? I would be surprised if they did.
AnBai points her hand towards them.
I can feel that her power is touching Time Laws. Soon, I saw as cannon fodders' starts to blur, making them horrified.
They tried using their energy to offset AnBai's 'Appearance Manipulation' but to no avail. As a last resort, the leader attack AnBai. But before he could reach her, his completely vanishes, probably from the River of Time.
Soon, memories related to his would also vanish from everyone's mind, making so that they never existed.
A really scary power. It has the same essence as 'Power of Existence', but 'Power of Existence' can only erase the existence of something. While AnBai's 'Appearance Manipulation' has more uses except for the erasure of any existence.
"What happened to them?" Su Ling'er asked me.
"Nothing. They died." Hearing me, she makes a surprise face.
"You are strong, big brother?" Now do not say that with such an innocent face. I am strong in various places, what would you know.
Patting her head, I said to her, smilingly, "Of course, I am. Can you tell me why they were trying to capture you?"
Since I am already here, let's just take the whole Continent.
Hearing my question, Su Ling'er face dims down as she said, "They were trying to capture me so they can blackmail Papa."
"Why don't you take me to your clan? Big brother might be able to help you."
Hearing me, her face beamed, "Really?!"
Seeing me nodded, she smiles, then looks towards AnBai, "Is your daughter is also coming, big brother?"
Cough* did she really brought that shit? I thought she was acting with us. Well, whatever.
"Hm, she will. Now lead us to your father." I said, smiling.
Su Ling'er nodded and started to lead us to her clan.
During our way, we or I, as AnBai doesn't communicate much, talked with Su Ling'er about her clan, and what was happening.
Though I know most things, it is better to check. Since it is not a novel anymore, but a reality. I cannot accept it to go the same way as a novel.
Anyway, according to Su Ling'er, she is from a clan called Grandwake Clan – located under the Grandwake Divine Mountain.
There are twelve of these divine mountains, and her clan resides below one of them. It is not uncommon as other divine mountains also have clans under them, one of them being Blackwood Stronghold – located under the Blackwood Mountain.
Why this particular sect or clan? Well, they have a rivalry relationship with Grandwake Clan and would always find ways to trouble them.
It seems that the people following her were also from this sect.
They attacked them – Su Ling'er and her father – while they were on their way towards the clan. Her father holds most of the men and told her to escape.
Since she could not do much, she followed her father's order and ran towards the forest. But since her father could not hold all the attackers, some of them followed after her.
It seems that their goal was her all along. Her father tried to stop them but could not.
She thought she would die but met us and was saved.
