The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Intense Battle

Zhao Si and his group were no fools; although they had been in a standoff fighting with the Mao Jiang, they could see everything clearly. That Mao Jiang only attacked their group, as if it didn’t see the other group at all.

No matter who it was, faced with such a situation, it would be difficult for anyone to remain calm! After all, if everyone was being attacked together, it would feel somewhat more fair.

The strength of the Mao Jiang was still very formidable; initially, only two people were injured. But in just a moment, all four members of their group had been injured. Moreover, the most critical fact was that all of them had been visibly affected, yet the Mao Jiang remained unscathed.

If this continued, they would likely be on a path to certain death.

As the leader of the group, Zhao Si’s eyes flashed with a ruthless light. Gritting his teeth, he then charged directly towards Lu Yichen’s group.

Seeing Zhao Si’s actions, what else could the others not understand! Thus, they followed Zhao Si’s lead and charged over as well.

It was clear that they had set out on the journey together, so why were they alone bearing the brunt of the Mao Jiang’s attack, while the others watched indifferently as if unaffected! Even if they were to die here today, they were determined to drag the others down to hell with them.

“Damn it!” Ouyang Chenwei cursed under his breath, then immediately pulled out his weapon.

Everyone else also readied themselves for battle.

Soon, the Mao Jiang had already launched a direct attack on Lu Yichen.

Upon seeing this, the others immediately entered combat mode. Unlike Zhao Si’s group, who used traditional tools, they were armed with modern weapons. Especially with an arms dealer like Ouyang Chenwei among them, the guns they held were the latest models.

Although they couldn’t truly get rid of the Mao Jiang, they managed to restrict its movements.

However, being a high-ranking zombie, the Mao Jiang was quite agile. After being shot several times, it had already learned to dodge bullets.

“Is there anything with more power?” Yu Xuezhi attacked the Mao Jiang while shouting towards Ouyang Chenwei, “At this rate, it’s no use!”

Ouyang Chenwei couldn’t spare the time to pay attention to other matters and shouted back, “Focus on dealing with the Mao Jiang! This is the latest model we have, and that’s a zombie, not a human. There’s nothing I can do!”

Now everyone was engaged in fighting the Mao Jiang. It was only with the addition of Ouyang Chenwei’s group that Zhao Si and his people could breathe a sigh of relief. However, they couldn’t stop just yet, as the Mao Jiang’s attacks were still ferocious. A slight misstep could result in further injuries.

Being wounded by a zombie was entirely different from ordinary injuries—one that carried the stench of death. If not treated promptly, the corpse poison could invade the heart, leading to a gruesome death.

Unlike the others’ disheveled state, Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen stood aside. Whether by coincidence or some other reason, the Mao Jiang showed no intention of attacking either of them, as if it couldn’t see their presence at all.

Zhong Niangyao’s gaze swept over to Lu Yichen beside her fleetingly.

She was well aware that the Mao Jiang hadn’t attacked her because she had tinkered with something on her person. However, she hadn’t expected that the Mao Jiang would also ignore Lu Yichen.

Nonetheless, she could guess the reason—it had to do with the Purple Energy and Evil Qi emanating from Lu Yichen. Purple Energy was the nemesis of all evil creatures, and the powerful Evil Qi was enough to keep evil entities at a respectful distance. Either of these auras could definitely prevent the Mao Jiang from approaching.

Seemingly noticing Zhong Niangyao’s gaze, Lu Yichen turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and spoke with a hint of a smile, “Is something the matter?”

“Aren’t you worried at all?” Zhong Niangyao pointed straightforwardly towards Zhou Yifu and the others still struggling with the Mao Jiang, “They are not a match for the Mao Jiang.”

“They could use some practice,” Lu Yichen replied without any fluctuation in his tone. “Normally, they don’t encounter such unnatural beings frequently. This is a good opportunity for them to get more exposure. It might also teach them that this world is not as they imagine.”

After hearing such an explanation, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but pity Lu Yichen’s subordinates. Being under such a master, it was unclear whether it was a blessing or a curse. However, it was evident that their loyalty to Lu Yichen was beyond question.

Glancing about, Zhong Niangyao suddenly spoke up, “I’m actually really curious, what are you looking for in the General’s Tomb?”

Although she asked, she didn’t genuinely expect Lu Yichen to answer. After all, they weren’t close, merely business associates. Hence, even if Lu Yichen didn’t wish to reveal it, she felt it didn’t matter.

Lu Yichen was such a secretive person, each of his subordinates was a powerful figure in their own right—his influence could be imagined. Even the Lu Family might not compare. After all, the Lu Family was only Hua Country’s foremost family.

For someone like him, what could he possibly need to acquire through tomb raiding?

Just when Zhong Niangyao thought that Lu Yichen wasn’t intending to respond, he suddenly spoke up, “I’m looking for a sword! The very one the General used on the battlefield to kill his enemies.”

“You’re looking for that sword?” Zhong Niangyao was somewhat surprised. “The killing aura of that sword is very heavy; most people can’t wield it and might even be backfired upon.”

A sword that has accompanied a general through battlefields had cut down countless enemies. No one knew exactly how much blood it had absorbed. It was clear how dense the killing aura was.

Such a sword was very sinister, not something just anyone could handle. One wrong move could result in being backfired upon.

“I know!”

With just that simple remark, Lu Yichen said nothing more.

Zhong Niangyao stood quietly to one side, not pressing with any further questions. Lu Yichen’s private matters were his own, and as an outsider, she had no right to pry any further.

On one side, they chatted nonchalantly, not resembling a dangerous situation but more like they were in their own estate.

On the other side, the fight was intense, a group contending with one Mao Jiang. Clearly, even with so many of them combined, they were not the Mao Jiang’s match.

“It’s about time.” Zhong Niangyao turned to Lu Yichen, “Do you need me to take action?”

She remembered that she had already received Lu Yichen’s payment, so even if it required her to step in, it would be within reason.
