C6 – The Powerful Skills
The words of the red-haired girl left Bai Tian and her friends frozen in place.
It took a few seconds before Moo Shuqin was the first to snap out of it. With a furrowed brow, she demanded, “Who are you, and who’s your boyfriend?”
“I’m Luo Xiaoyan, Di Feng’s girlfriend,” the girl retorted with a sneer, disregarding Moo Shuqin. She spun around, fixing Bai Tian with a furious glare.
“Shameless woman, seducing someone else’s boyfriend behind his back!”
Bai Tian’s eyebrows arched, a look of indignation washing over her face.
Just as she was about to retort, Moo Shuqin couldn’t contain herself any longer.
“Stop spreading lies. When has Tian ever seduced your boyfriend? It was Di Feng who unashamedly pursued Tian, and she never gave him the time of day!”
Luo Xiaoyan’s sneer deepened. “So you did it but won’t own up to it? If this woman hadn’t lured my boyfriend away, why would he cheat?”
“It’s clear you lack the charm to keep your man, and when you discovered his infidelity, you chose to lash out at others. You’re a disgrace to women everywhere!”
To everyone’s surprise, Moo Shuqin held her own in the verbal skirmish.
Her cutting words sent Luo Xiaoyan’s expression into a tailspin.
Finding herself at a loss for words, Luo Xiaoyan turned to the tattooed youth for backup.
“Cousin, teach them a lesson for me!”
The tattooed young man let out a sly chuckle and advanced toward Bai Tian, Moo Shuqin, and their companion.
“Little lady, why mess with my cousin? Now, don’t blame me for teaching you a harsh lesson!”
Yin Tian flexed his fists, the knuckles popping crisply.
Bai Tian and Moo Shuqin instinctively stepped back, their complexions turning a shade paler.
After all, they were just high school students, well-behaved girls who had never dealt with thugs like Yin Tian. The sight before them sent a wave of fear through their hearts.
But then, Xie Yang stepped up, positioning himself protectively in front of the three girls.
“Brother!” Bai Tian exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Yin Tian just sneered in response.
They were outmatched.
Especially since Bai Tian, the strongest among them, had a pet of only the ninth layer of the first rank.
Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan’s pets were at the seventh and sixth layers of the first rank, respectively.
Lin Ze’s case didn’t even bear mentioning.
Little Snowball’s combat prowess was negligible.
Even if Lin Ze was a formidable fighter, besting a second rank pet beast was out of the question.
“Oh no! What do we do now, Tian?”
Zhang Xiaoyun and Liu Siyan were visibly shaken.
Bai Tian was equally uncertain.
Only Lin Ze remained composed.
Zhao Kang’s rage intensified at the sight of Lin Ze’s serene demeanor.
Without further hesitation, he barked an order through clenched teeth: “Attack!”
He couldn’t fathom a mere high school student standing up to his second rank Spirit Wolf!
He might not dare to kill Lin Ze, but he was certainly intent on giving him a harsh lesson.
The image of Xie Yang screaming in terror as the Spirit Wolf’s claws tore at him filled Yin Tian with a sense of vindication.
The Spirit Wolf’s sudden assault took the three girls by surprise.
Bai Tian’s face went pale; she was intent on summoning her pet beast. She might not be able to take down the Spirit Wolf, but she’d be damned if she let it harm Xie Yang.
But before she could act, an abrupt chill swept through the area, sending the temperature plummeting.
Out of nowhere, an Ice Fairy, charming and as blue as a little human girl, materialized in front of Xie Yang.
With the menacing Spirit Wolf lunging towards them, the fairy merely lifted a hand. A multitude of razor-sharp ice spikes formed from thin air, hesitating for just a heartbeat before hurtling forward like a tempest.
The air was suddenly filled with the shrill sound of slicing wind.
In mere moments, the Spirit Wolf was engulfed by a relentless barrage of ice spikes.
