Chapter 1130: I'll Handle It

Chapter 1130: I'll Handle It

Numerous Ji Dao Zhe received the orders one after another and began walking slowly toward Bai Hu in sequence.

This was the final directive from the Ji Dao Wang, with everyone delaying the inevitable to put a bloody end to this mission.

Bai Hu was clearly descending into madness. Despite his full array of skills, he couldn't protect the giant bell and the display screen from the onslaught of the Can Yu Zhe.

This sudden sense of defeat made his head spin, as if it had completely upended his understanding.

He knew he wasn't going mad just now; he had been mad for a long time but had never wanted to admit it.

"Clang!!"

A clear and resounding bell tolled suddenly beside Bai Hu's ear, as if someone had triggered Xian Fa at the right moment. Bai Hu turned his head again with a vacant stare.

Wasn't this scene proof enough that he was mad?

The bell seemed to be right there.

Though it had vanished from his sight, it was still ringing.

Bai Hu shook his head, then looked back with his vacant, blood-red eyes. The feeling was incredibly strange.

He could feel the wind blowing across the open ground and hear the giant bell's mournful toll.

In the next second, the ground beneath Bai Hu's feet suddenly transformed. The shattered stone tiles turned into swampy mud one by one, and his body began to sink downward.

But Bai Hu paid no attention to his sinking form; he just furrowed his brow, pondering a way out.

How could he turn the situation around...?

He had to do it before Tian Long and Qing Long discovered it, or even before he completely lost his mind.

"I've got it... Yes... I've got it..." Bai Hu paused slightly. "It doesn't matter if it's gone... As long as I can rebuild the giant bell and the display screen... None of this will be affected..."

No sooner had he spoken than Bai Hu shot out of the mud pit and instantly appeared in front of Yun Yao, grabbing her wrist.

Yun Yao was slightly startled and couldn't retreat before being held in place.

"I need a Qiao Wu..." Bai Hu's cracked lips slowly curled into a smile. "As long as I find another Qiao Wu... everything will be solved, won't it?"

Yun Yao swallowed hard and tried once more to pull her arm away, but her body couldn't resist a Shen Shou.

"Do you know who the Qiao Wu is?" Bai Hu asked.

Yun Yao silently reached her other hand into her small bag. Bai Hu noticed the movement and thought the tall woman might pull out a weapon, but she only took out a lipstick.

"Looking for a Qiao Wu..." Yun Yao said with a nervous laugh as sweat dripped down. "Then you've really come to the right person..."

"You know...?" Bai Hu hesitated.

"Whether I know... depends on how strong the Yun is."

Yun Yao smiled and held the lipstick between her thumb and index finger, then flicked it forcefully into the air.

The force was so great that the lipstick cap flew off its body, and the two cylindrical objects spun separately in the air.

Bai Hu stared blankly upward, unsure of what the woman intended.

The lipstick body spun countless times in the air before landing base-first on the ground. But the surface was too hard, so instead of standing, it bounced up again.

It flew straight toward the still-falling cap, and with a crisp sound, the two objects merged in midair. Then they changed direction.

In the next second, the lipstick didn't land on the ground or hit anything else; instead, due to the altered path, it flew directly back into Yun Yao's bag.

Bai Hu just frowned at the sight.

"That's not good," Yun Yao said with a laugh. "The Yun is way too strong."

"How does strong Yun help...?" Bai Hu asked.

"If the Yun is too strong, it means I can't even lie to you," Yun Yao said contemptuously, staring at Bai Hu. "No matter which direction I point out next, it could lead you to accidentally find the Qiao Wu. So my advice is... just kill me right here."

"You think I won't...?" Bai Hu laughed maniacally. "Even if you're Qiang Yun, you might not be stronger than heaven."

"You're right." Yun Yao nodded calmly. "Since Yun has to beg heaven for help, it naturally can't be stronger than heaven."

"So you'd rather die here than reveal the Qiao Wu's location?" Bai Hu said.

"Yeah." Yun Yao shrugged. "What's so scary about death? If a Shen Shou is out to kill me, I have no idea how to escape. I can only hope to see you in the next reincarnation."

"Heh..." Bai Hu said. "Anyone who dies this time has committed a grave sin. There might not even be a next reincarnation."

With that, Bai Hu raised his fist and struck toward Yun Yao's chest.

"Xiao Yao...!" Jiang Ruoxue shouted from afar, wanting to rush in for rescue, but Zhou Mo held her back.

"Tsk... Trying to save someone from Bai Hu? Are you crazy?"

At that critical moment, a hand pulled Yun Yao back by the shoulder, and another figure flashed forward to block the punch.

A massive boom erupted in the center of the square, feeling like two trucks colliding. A shockwave spread outward, making everyone stagger.

The newcomers were Chu Tianqiu and Zhang Shan.

Chu Tianqiu pulled Yun Yao behind him, while Zhang Shan swung his fist directly at Bai Hu.

This punch was without any hesitation and more direct than any attack from the Can Yu Zhe before.

It was as if it declared an official war between the Can Yu Zhe and the managers here.

Bai Hu frowned and raised his hand to block.

"Thud!!"

Their fists met, and the tremendous force rebounded, making both stagger back. Bai Hu retreated one step, while Zhang Shan stepped back five.

For the first time, the crowd saw someone confronting a Shen Shou head-on, and they all froze in place.

"Let's do this." Zhang Shan shook his sore arm as he walked forward. "What Yun or heaven? If Yun can't solve it, let heaven handle it. If heaven can't, we'll all pitch in and sort it out together."

"Zhang Shan..."

"You old thing, watch closely." Zhang Shan grinned and gestured with his thumb toward the two behind him. "Standing before you are the three leaders of Tian Tang Kou. You've really stirred up trouble today."

Yun Yao was stunned and wanted to say, "I'm not," but the words wouldn't come out.

"Yun Yao, go find Tian Tian and tell her what's happened," Chu Tianqiu whispered, turning his head. "She's with Qi Xia, and Qi Xia will definitely think of a way to respond. I suspect more people will need her clues soon. Get out of here quickly and make sure Tian Tian protects herself."
