The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 338 - 336 Rescue

Chapter 338: Chapter 336 Rescue

Just as Nian Shutong was looking forward to a fight, Xiao Si spoke up.

"Eldest, the Chi Family’s flying device is approaching," he said.

The Heavy Sword girl, Lin Mu, showed emotion in her eyes for the first time and said to the one controlling the starship, "Intercept them, make it quick and decisive."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The powerful responses made Nian Shutong wonder if she had underestimated these people.

After all, they sounded well-trained.

By now, the starship had already maneuvered sideways, blocking the Chi Family’s flying device.

Flying devices naturally cannot roam freely; they must follow their designated flight paths, or else the interstellar space would be plagued with collisions every day.

The Chi Family’s flying device, which was slightly larger and could accommodate around twenty-some people, paled in comparison to the broken down starship before them.

A starship, no matter how dilapidated, is called a ship because of one fundamental principle: it has to be big.

The Chi Family’s flying device was forced to stop, and indeed, it was manned by Chi Family subordinates, but Lin Mu and her group had the wrong information. At this moment, there was an S-class expert from the Chi Family aboard.

His decision to join had been last minute because he was heading to the mines to serve as the next round of guardians, protecting the miners.

On the Chi Family flight device,

those responsible for transporting the ores first bootlicked the Chi Family’s S-class warrior.

"Mr. Xu, I’m so sorry for this inconvenience. Some pesky insects have disturbed you. I’ll go and deal with them right now," they said, bowing down.

The middle-aged man known as Mr. Xu, wearing a black cloak, didn’t even open his eyes, just hummed softly in response.

Li Si, the one responsible for transporting the ores, didn’t mind at all, rather feeling this was the attitude of a superior person.

If an approachable master had appeared, he would have felt uncomfortable.

Before Li Si could take action, the opposite starship opened.

An extending ladder unraveled from the starship and clanged onto the Chi Family’s flying device.

Following that, the Heavy Sword girl, with her face covered, led the way out, followed by big men with their faces also concealed, each stepping down the ladder and coming over.

Li Si had already reached the pilot’s seat and unhesitatingly pressed a button.

Outside the flying device, laser guns and other weapons were activated, all aimed at the approaching figures.

"We are the Chi Family’s flying device. If you don’t want to die, leave now!"

Li Si shouted this, but the people outside were not at all swayed, instead, they quickened their pace.

Li Si, with a sneer of disdain, pressed the launch button, but the laser guns that should have fired outside remained silent.

At this moment, Xiao Si’s voice echoed in Lin Mu’s ears outside.

"Eldest, be quick, I can only hold on for about two minutes."

He had taken control of the flying device’s systems, temporarily seizing control over the Chi Family’s flying device.

Lin Mu didn’t even reply, carrying her Heavy Sword, she reached the flying device’s hatch and placed what appeared to be a decoding device against one corner, striking it with great force.

With a loud "boom," the hatch opened.

Lin Mu was the first to pull open the hatch and immediately knocked out the oncoming guards, with the others swiftly moving up to control the cockpit.

Nian Shutong, who had all along been an amused spectator inside the starship, remarked admiringly, "So professional. Just how do they usually come up empty-handed?"

She was genuinely curious.

Her Divine Sense had already reached out, monitoring the situation on the other side.

Lin Mu had only knocked out the guards, not killed anyone.

At this moment, she was in a standoff with the man in the black cloak.

The rest of the people on the flying device had been subdued, even that Li Si, none could withstand Lin Mu’s single sword strike.

However, Lin Mu was now motionless.

The people who had followed her remained silent, not daring to speak a word.

"Heh... Impressive strength, Level 1 Physical Ability, such a pity to waste good potential."

The cloaked man saw through Lin Mu’s strength in a glance, which revealed the gap between them.

Level 1 was formidable, rare in interstellar terms, but compared to the S-level, it was worlds apart.

Lin Mu knew she could not match the man before her; the intelligence had been faulty.

"We haven’t hurt a single person, can we just leave now?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha———"

The cloaked man had already stood up, his harsh laughter all too clear; he merely stretched out a hand, and his boundless spiritual power wrapped around Lin Mu’s neck.

"Since you’re here, might as well stay."

The cloaked man, using his spiritual power, intended to strangle Lin Mu.

Who knew Lin Mu would still have the strength to flip her Heavy Sword up fiercely, striking at the cloaked man.

The cloaked man’s spiritual power formed a shield, blocking the strike of the Heavy Sword.

But there was something he couldn’t block.

A hidden force attacked the cloaked man from behind, making him stagger and lose his grip on Lin Mu.

"Didn’t expect you to be a Dual Cultivator."

"Retreat!"

Lin Mu didn’t have time to listen to the cloaked man’s nonsense, with a loud shout to retreat, she stood guard by the door, letting her comrades escape first.

The others were obedient; if the Eldest couldn’t win, then they were out of luck.

By this time, the cloaked man was enraged, having been wounded by a little ant.

Even if Lin Mu was a Dual Cultivator of Physical Ability and spiritual power, her Level was insufficient, and it was still in vain.

The man attacked with both hands, instantly sending Lin Mu’s Heavy Sword flying, and struck Lin Mu’s chest, causing her to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Quick! Get out of here!"

Lin Mu released all her spiritual power, throwing it at the opponent without a care, all to buy her companions a glimmer of a chance.

Meanwhile, inside the Starship, Nian Shutong got up and said to Ha Ha and Little Pink Pig, "Protect them, I’ll be right back."

Ha Ha obediently sat next to Fu Yunhe, and Little Pink Pig jumped into Dou Dou’s arms.

Dou Dou comforted Little Pink Pig while holding it, "Don’t be scared, Piggy, Dou Dou is very strong."

"Dou Dou thinks it’ll be alright, definitely alright."

Dou Dou’s little hands continuously stroked Little Pink Pig’s back, making Little Pink Pig lie comfortably in Dou Dou’s embrace, enjoying a personal massage.

And Nian Shutong was already at the doorway of the Starship, ready to ascend the ladder ahead.

Xiao Si, who had been keeping an eye on the battle, shouted loudly, "Don’t go! It’s dangerous!"

Nian Shutong turned her face and smiled at Xiao Si.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."

Nian Shutong had already left, and there were people running toward them, yelling, "Move aside! Move aside!"

Indeed, they needed to make way, else it would be a bit cramped to pass side by side.

In the eyes of others, Nian Shutong’s actions were no different from suicide.

Because she stepped into the endless void.

"She—flew?"

The Big Man running towards her watched wide-eyed as Nian Shutong stepped into the void, but she didn’t fall; instead, she hovered in mid-air and flew towards him.

There was actually someone who could fly without a Mecha.

As Nian Shutong passed the Big Man, a sentence floated to him.

"I’m off to save your Eldest."

"You all go back and wait."
