Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

109: You think I won’t hold it against you for shooting someone in the back while you’re hiding behind them?Ai Yue stood cold as frost across the Ancient Centipedes, staring coldly at Cheng Siyu as if looking at a dead person.

Her thin lips parted slightly, revealing a bloodthirsty smile: ”No one has ever made me suffer like this before. You provoke me time and again; do you think I have no way of dealing with you? Heh...”

Ai Yue sneered and then said, ”Rui Rui, kill our way over!”

”Yes, Sister.” Ye Rui keenly felt the layers of killing intent rising around Ai Yue, and a surge of hot blood began to burn within her body.

With a surge of pent-up anger, the two coordinated with each other, reaping the lives of the Ancient Centipedes at an even faster pace.

Ai Guosheng was also helping his daughter make her way over.

Ten minutes later, Ai Yue and Ye Rui finally broke through the encirclement of the Ancient Centipedes.

Behind them lay a thick layer of Ancient Centipede corpses.

The sight of them hacking through the centipedes was blood-pumping; it was explosive and incredibly impressive, especially their seamless cooperation—one lighting the fire, the other throwing—sweeping away large swaths at once.

Inspired by the two of them, everyone’s morale soared as they murderously hacked at the Ancient Centipedes. Through collective effort, this wave of Ancient Centipedes was finally repelled. As if sensing something, all the centipedes throughout the Base retreated back into the deep holes.

Everyone cheered, celebrating their narrow escape.

Meanwhile, Ai Yue looked coldly at Cheng Siyu not far away and gave a wicked smile.

Cheng Siyu felt a chill down her spine from the gaze and quietly retreated behind the crowd.

But Ai Yue gave her no chance to react. With a sharp glint in her eyes, she flashed in front of Cheng Siyu, grabbed her by the throat, and lifted her up with a surge of strength.

”Do you think that because you hid behind others to shoot cold arrows and there’s no evidence, I won’t settle scores with you?” Ai Yue squeezed Cheng Siyu’s neck tightly and questioned her sternly.

Although Ai Yue’s actions looked terrifying, she didn’t intend to kill Cheng Siyu in front of everyone just yet.

”Ai Yue, what are you doing? Put Miss Siyu down immediately!” The others were shocked by Ai Yue’s actions and barked at her.

Even Gu Xiheng’s expression changed, and he said in a cold, hard voice, ”Ai Yue, let go of Siyu!”

”Ai Yue, you bitch, put Sister Siyu down this instant!” Gu Xitian cursed from the side.

With one hand choking Cheng Siyu’s neck, Ai Yue turned her head to look at the crowd condemning her and said indifferently, ”She attacked me on purpose just now. Now that I’ve escaped, can’t I give her a lesson?”

”What nonsense are you talking? Miss Siyu was trying to save you! How can you not distinguish right from wrong? Take your hand off her!” An Ability Warrior stepped forward and scolded her agitatedly.

Ai Yue ignored the crowd and turned her gaze back to Cheng Siyu. ”Beauty Cheng, do you hate me so much that you can’t wait to kill me? Why? Just because of him?”

Cheng Siyu’s entire face turned bright red as she wheezed out, ”I... didn’t do it on purpose.”

”Not on purpose? Heh... I’m not blind. I saw the viciousness in your eyes clearly. Since you want to kill me so badly, then you should first experience what it feels like to be on the brink of death.”

After speaking, Ai Yue increased the pressure in her hand, causing Cheng Siyu to let out a miserable cry.

This immediately drew the dissatisfaction of the Ability Warriors who supported Cheng Siyu, as well as Gu Xiheng. ”Ai Yue, stop at once!”

Gu Xitian’s face showed an expression as if she wanted to devour Ai Yue whole. In the next moment, she turned invisible and vanished.

No one around noticed her.

Using her Invisibility, Gu Xitian silently approached Ai Yue and swiftly pulled out a dagger, lunging it toward Ai Yue’s chest.

Sensing danger, Ai Yue reflexively threw Cheng Siyu to the ground and blocked with her arm.

To the onlookers, a cold, glinting dagger suddenly appeared beside Ai Yue and stabbed toward her. Ai Yue blocked with her arm, but the dagger pierced her shoulder, and blood immediately began to pour out.

Ai Yue instinctively kicked out, though not with much force.

With that kick, a figure beside her screamed and flew backward; it was the invisible Gu Xitian.
