Absolute Choice - Chapter 545

Reality typically proved that the flags that antagonists raised would usually be taken down immediately.

Just as Eventide Great Wolf believed that Shi Xiaobai was enervated of his psionic power and believed that he could clinch final victory, a divine and pure milky white light suddenly fell from the sky and landed on Shi Xiaobai’s back. The wound on his back was recovering at a visible pace.

Immediately following that, a nourishing azure beam of light that alternated between cold and hot descended, completely enveloping Shi Xiaobai within. The paleness on Shi Xiaobai’s face immediately turned ruddy as his weakened state gradually vanished.

“Magic!?”

Eventide Great Wolf was well-learned after all. He recognized the two beams of light to be the power of magic. He turned to look at the source of the magic. He saw the precious daughter of the Mu family in the distance. She was holding a spellbook and two six-pointed star runic formations lit up around her. There were two beams of light—vanilla white and azure blue—that constantly surged from the runic formation as they shot at Shi Xiaobai.

“You!”

Eventide Great Wolf nearly spewed out blood from his anger. He wanted to cry and shout, “How can you do that!?”

Mu Lengxi glared angrily at Eventide Great Wolf. Her glare seemed to say, “So the seven of you can fight one, but can’t others help Brother Xiaobai!?”

Shi Xiaobai naturally discovered that the two beams of light came from Mu Lengxi. Although he did not know it was magic, he was rather astonished.

It was because the vanilla white beam of light was healing his wounds while the azure-blue light was rapidly replenishing his psionic power. In a few short seconds, he had been restored of a fifth of his psionic power.

It was like the restoration of health and mana. She was a formidable healer!

Shi Xiaobai raised a big thumbs up at Mu Lengxi.

However, he quickly discovered that Mu Lengxi was extremely pale. The book in her hands was trembling slightly. Clearly, the internal injuries that Mu Lengxi had suffered were not light and using magic would only worsen her injuries. If not, she would have joined the battle and fought alongside Shi Xiaobai.

And at this moment, she had been forced to definitely pay quite a considerable price to use two restorative spells.

Shi Xiaobai felt his heart ache for her as he hurriedly said, “Enough. It’s enough already. Stop.”

Mu Lengxi smiled gently and secretly continued for another three seconds before stopping the magic. She stopped channeling the dual restorative magic.

However, the moment the magic came to an end, Mu Lengxi’s expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly lifted her hand to cover her mouth. Her throat moved as though she was swallowing something.

Shi Xiaobai’s eyes flashed a look of pain as he sighed inwardly and said gently, “Thank you.”

Mu Lengxi shook her head with her mouth covered.

Shi Xiaobai turned around and slowly walked towards Eventide Great Wolf. It was time to end the battle.

In fact, he had not yet expended all his psionic power previously but he still had a little left. He could not maintain the Transcendental Nine Transformations but he had pretended to look weak and powerless. He wanted to lower Eventide Great Wolf’s guard and then use the final bit of strength to retaliate.

But now, with Mu Lengxi’s restorative magic quickly restoring a fifth of his psionic power, it was sufficient to round up the situation.

Now, Shi Xiaobai had the absolute advantage. Victory had been determined.

Eventide Great Wolf had an extremely ugly expression but he did not escape because the cold-blooded tiger never showed any mercy to deserters.

Eventide Great Wolf immediately clenched his fists tightly when he saw Shi Xiaobai striding towards him. He was prepared to risk his life.

“Enough, stand down.”

Suddenly, a calm and domineering voice sounded from behind Eventide Great Wolf.

Eventide Great Wolf turned his head in shock and saw Tyger Li walking over slowly. He had a deadpan expression which hid his true thoughts.

“I can still fight…”

Eventide Great Wolf said trembly.

Tyger Li waved his hand and said, “How are you to continue after suffering such utter defeat? To not be able to defeat a Psionic Mortal Realm boy despite the joint forces of seven Psionic Might Realm warriors, none of you are worthy of being called the ‘Seven Wolfskins’. From this moment forth, none of you are special forces anymore. Instead, you will be soldiers at the dimensional battleground.”

Eventide Great Wolf widened his eyes in disbelief. He never expected that despite his defeat, Tyger Li’s punishment was only for them to dedicate themselves to the dimensional battleground. Although it was a bloody and cruel area fraught with danger, it did not necessarily mean they would lose their lives. There were even some geniuses who would volunteer to enter the dimensional battleground to train themselves. It could be said that the punishment of the dimensional battleground was much better than an ‘execution’ in Eventide Great Wolf’s mind. It momentarily left him in disbelief.

In Eventide Great Wolf’s daze, Tyger Li roared once again, “Are you not going to scram while taking this bunch of fools with you!? Scram before I change my mind!”

“Yes…”

Eventide Great Wolf did not dare hesitate. He hurriedly picked Eventide Second and Third Wolf from the ground and with one hand holding one, he turned and escape. Eventide Sixth Wolf, who was hiding in the distance, silently went to carry Eventide Seven Wolf. Eventide Fifth Wolf, who was watching from afar, also flew back and carried the unconscious Eventide Fourth Wolf.

As such, the Seven Wolfskins ran out the courtyard miserably with their tails between their legs.

Shi Xiaobai did not pursue them. Although the seven soldiers were loathsome, they were just minions following orders. It was already enough to have five of them severely injured, of which four had unknown fates. Furthermore, compared to chasing after the Seven Wolfskins, Shi Xiaobai was more concerned about Mu Lengxi’s injuries and safety.

He warily glanced at Tyger Li before turning to retreat back to Mu Lengxi’s side. He reached out his hands to massage her shoulders and used Massage Technique of God in an attempt to reduce her injuries.

The Massage Technique of God was ineffective for his powerful body but it had excellent effects on Mu Lengxi. Her face immediately turned ruddy.

Soon, Mu Lengxi’s face began to flush red. It was hot as her crystalline eyes seemed to be clouded with watery mist. She reached out her hand to cover her mouth and lowered her head like a camel. Her body began trembling.

Shi Xiaobai recalled the time when he massaged Mozzie. She too had such an expression and could not help but emit a strange sound that sounded like she enjoyed it but also sounded like she was suffering.

Was Mu Lengxi experiencing the same thing?

When Shi Xiaobai thought of this, he hurriedly stopped the massage. He knew that Mu Lengxi had always forced herself to not emit her voice. It was definitely not a good feeling.

“Are you better?”

Shi Xiaobai stopped massaging and asked out of concern.

Mu Lengxi looked up and stole a glance at Shi Xiaobai before immediately lowering her head shyly. She then nodded her head gently.

Shi Xiaobai sighed gently and asked, “Then, shall we go?”

Shi Xiaobai wanted to take a look at Speechless’s corpse before leaving with Mu Lengxi and her mother. After which, he could find an opportunity to ask Mu Lengxi about the circumstances of ‘him killing Speechless’.

As for Tyger Li, Shi Xiaobai did not wish to be further entangled with him. He had defeated the Seven Wolfskins and Tyger Li seemed to be left alone, but Tyger Li was Mu Lengxi’s father after all. No matter how much of a scumbag or scoundrel he was, there was no way he would ‘dice’ Mu Lengxi’s father up in front of her, right?

Shi Xiaobai could not be bothered with the wretch. The three slaps were done to vent Mu Lengxi’s anger so that was enough.

However, just as Shi Xiaobai was planning to leave, Tyger Li did not plan on letting it go. He said, “Wait.”

Shi Xiaobai turned around and said with a frown, “Why? Do you still want to fight?”

Tyger Li shook his head and said, “I only want to know the answer to one question.”

Shi Xiaobai pricked up his brows and asked, “What’s the question?”

Tyger Li looked at Shi Xiaobai for a few seconds with a deadpan expression. Suddenly, he said with a calm tone like an idle banter, “My son, Speechless Li, he is a kind boy, so why did you kill him?”
