Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 386 Siege

Chapter 386: Chapter 386 Siege

"It turns out they came prepared."

Xiao Zhan had thought it was a spur-of-the-moment decision on their part, but this posture didn’t need further explanation to know they were after him.

The only question was, who exactly were they?

From Barbarian City?

Probably not.

Reksen had already died, and he himself was ranked number one; in Barbarian City, he was like the heavens, no one dared to lay a finger on him.

If they were not from Barbarian City, then who could they be?

Xiao Zhan didn’t want to dwell on it, nor did he want to ponder. If he wanted to know, he just had to knock these people down.

With a wave of his hand, the Death Demon Scythe appeared in his grasp, ready to make a move, but Liu Xin hurriedly spoke, "These people came prepared. They seem to be using an array to trap people, and my abilities also seem to be affected, I can’t quite see their weaknesses clearly."

"No matter, it doesn’t matter if we can’t see clearly, I can take care of them," Xiao Zhan said indifferently.

If it were before, he might be very worried.

But after his ordeal as the fake Xiao Zhan, he truly wasn’t afraid of this kind of situation one bit.

Having said that, he took a few steps forward.

He had originally wanted to strike first, but then he thought of Liu Xin still behind him, in case she got killed by a surprise attack, it would be a loss.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin, seeing Xiao Zhan’s confident back, suddenly furrowed her brows tightly.

The words she spoke were not because she really couldn’t see the enemy’s weakness, on the contrary, she saw it very clearly but deliberately didn’t say it.

The reason she deliberately said so was to make Xiao Zhan aware of the crisis at hand, so that he would actively seek a solution.

At this moment, she could naturally bring up the matter of a Contract again.

Invent a reason, as long as they are contracted, her abilities would be enhanced, and then she would be able to see the weaknesses of the enemy.

She believed that under the threat of death at this moment, Xiao Zhan would agree to form a Contract with her.

But what she never expected was that Xiao Zhan would remain so calm even in such an absolutely disadvantaged situation.

She just couldn’t understand.

Was Xiao Zhan blindly arrogant, or did he really have the strength?

As she pondered this, the Su Family members here had already made their move.

The array deployed by twelve Fourth Grade Spirit Masters was specifically designed to restrain Xiao Zhan.

It could limit the use of Xiao Zhan’s Thunder Shadow Step.

With the array’s constraints, three other Fifth Grade Spirit Masters also launched attacks, all of whom were long-range Spirit Masters, and their Artifact Spirits were all bows.

What surprised Xiao Zhan, though, was that one of them had a handgun Artifact Spirit!

A handgun Artifact Spirit?

This was Xiao Zhan’s first encounter with such a modern weapon Artifact Spirit.

He knew of such Artifact Spirits, but they were rare.

Among these three long-range Spirit Masters, one held a silver-white bow, whose aura was the heaviest, indicating he was likely the strongest among them.

Xiao Zhan felt the aura and had an epiphany about a part of the situation.

Wasn’t this guy locked up with Liu Xin?

When he communicated with Liu Xin using Death Aura inside a designated room, he had probed that room, and that guy was also locked inside.

This person knew Liu Xin—why would he come after him?

Thinking of the carefully laid out ambush against him by this group of people, Xiao Zhan suddenly realized that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The three men, pulling their Artifact Spirits’ bowstrings, gathered energy into arrows and shot towards Xiao Zhan without hesitation.

Two arrows and a bullet traced three trails of light through the air, coming from three different directions at Xiao Zhan.

Simultaneously,

The remaining three Sixth Grade Spirit Masters also made their move at this moment.

Their Artifact Spirits were a blood-colored battle axe, a frost long spear, and a shield.

What do you know, a support, an archer, a warrior, a tank, and a mage; they had it all.

This was utterly and unmistakably targeted at Xiao Zhan, no if or buts about it.

A meticulous ambush, not carrying it out in Barbarian City but choosing to do it here.

And his own decision to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest was made just last night, and he set out early this morning; it had been just half a day’s time.

But the enemy’s elaborate preparations were clearly made well in advance, including arranging manpower.

Thinking someone inside knew Liu Xin,

Xiao Zhan suddenly understood that there was a high probability that this matter was related to Liu Xin.

After all, there were only three people who knew that he was coming to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

And Ye Youlong definitely would not be a snitch.

That only left the possibility of Liu Xin.

And, most importantly, it was Liu Xin who proposed going to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

Putting together all the strange things about Liu Xin, Xiao Zhan nearly confirmed that this matter could not be unconnected with her.

However, Xiao Zhan did not have the time to deal with her right now. Even if there was sufficient evidence, let alone the insufficient proof, the current situation did not permit him to address it.

The three long-range attacks quickly reached Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan’s gaze was locked on these three attacks, but his face wore a casual smile.

The array restricted his movement technique, but it did not limit his strength, and he didn’t take such level of attacks seriously.

With a swing of the Demon Scythe in his hand, he easily blocked the fastest energy bullet.

The powerful energy bullet struck the Death Demon Scythe, as if a piece of ice hitting an iron plate, causing no damage to the plate and instead shattering itself.

After blocking it, his body twisted and, in one fluid motion, swept out the Demon Scythe again.

Swish, swish.

The two arrows were directly shattered by Xiao Zhan.

His physical strength had now reached Sixth Grade, and he barely needed to use his Spirit Manipulation Energy to easily fend off such attacks. Not to mention, he also possessed energy comparable to that of Spirit Masters beyond Sixth Grade.

The three people’s long-range attacks were child’s play in front of Xiao Zhan, not worthy of serious defense.

Easily blocking them, the expressions of the three immediately turned to shock.

They apparently hadn’t expected Xiao Zhan to handle it so effortlessly.

They quickly readied their bows again, gathering energy anew, aiming at Xiao Zhan.

Simultaneously,

While they were gathering energy, the attacks from the other three Sixth Grade Spirit Masters also arrived in front of Xiao Zhan.

The three of them used their Spirit Manipulation Techniques directly.

While the others engaged, they had already been quietly operating their energy, charging up their Spirit Manipulation Techniques.

When the three long-range attacks didn’t harm Xiao Zhan, they immediately followed with their own assaults.

The blood-colored battle axe drew a red arc in the sky, its domineering presence mixed with a vast aura of blood, like a force splitting mountains and rivers, fiercely cleaving towards Xiao Zhan.
