Chapter 462 Humiliation after humiliation, do you really think I'm easy to bully?
Hearing his mother and Aunt Ya Ya's gasps that could practically lift the car roof off, Chu Zihang's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed helplessly in his heart.
I was indeed frightened.
On the way here, Xia Mi had described Odin's glorious image to him.
He's a cunning villain who's so evil he's practically oozing pus... In short, people don't hesitate to speculate about his despicable methods with the most vicious thoughts.
Therefore, they were prepared from the beginning for Chu Zihang's family to be targeted.
Among the dragon blood orphans from single-parent families or whose parents are absent, only Chu Zihang's mother has such a person. If nothing unexpected happens, Odin will definitely make a fuss about her.
This is why Xia Mi allowed Su Xiaoyan and the others to follow her on her dates, and even actively created opportunities to get close to Su Xiaoyan.
What, you're saying that wasn't intentional but a coincidence by some twist of fate?
Then let me ask you, even without coincidence, wouldn't Xia Mi have thrown the Dragon King's Mark onto Su Xiaoyan?
Once the mark is placed, no one except someone of her level can erase it.
Moreover, with her mark present, as long as she doesn't exceed a certain range, Xia Mi has a way to quickly and directly reach the mark holder, even if the person carrying the mark is in Nibelungen.
Don't forget, Xia Mi is now the Queen of the Nibelungs. No Nibelung in the world is vulnerable to her; she can come and go as she pleases.
And things unfolded exactly as she had predicted; Odin did indeed intend to take hostages.
Although using Chu Zihang's mother as a bait is a bit underhanded, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, and you can't catch Odin without risking your mother-in-law.
It's just a little fright; at worst, I'll give you the cutest, most beautiful, and most perfect daughter-in-law in the world!
Su Xiaoyan: Is that the attitude you want? Then what else is there to say? I'll just volunteer and that's it!
It can only be said that this dragon king may not have mastered the art of seduction, but his ability to handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has reached a state of perfection.
At this moment, facing the surprised and uncertain gazes of the two elders in the car, Chu Zihang had no choice but to respond.
Although his current position and posture make him look like the Valkyrie's personal bag carrier and atmosphere-setter, with Jun Yan present, he still maintains a firm grip on the aura.
The rain falling from the sky was evaporated into a misty white fog by the sovereign flames in his hands before it even reached his body, making the two look like an ethereal, otherworldly couple.
Once we no longer need to slay dragons, and Xia Mi is preparing to debut, Chu Zihang could consider becoming her exclusive prop master.
Putting everything else aside, ignition, lighting, and fog-making are things that anyone with a hand can do.
He turned to Su Xiaoyan and Ya Ya and nodded: "Sorry, I'll explain to you later."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Mi, who was standing half a step in front of him, had already moved.
The girl raised the sacred sword in her hand, the tip of the Murasame blade pointing directly at the dark, cloud-covered sky where lightning danced wildly.
In an instant, the torrential rain and howling wind around us seemed to be paused, and a momentary stagnation occurred!
Immediately afterwards, the girl swung her arm, and the long sword crashed down!
"Buzz!"
The clear, melodious sound of the blade seemed to pierce through the soul, and the bright moonlight that had previously cleaved through the void and purified the filth burst forth from the long blade that had been swung down!
It became more solid and larger, like a rushing river of moonlight, carrying unparalleled power to crush everything, and rushed wildly towards the still dark and timid horde of Dead Servants who dared not advance any further!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a continuous series of "plop" sounds, like a water balloon breaking.
"Boom—!"
Just then, a thick bolt of lightning tore through the sky, illuminating the earth as bright as day with its pale white flashes.
It was under the light of this lightning that Su Xiaoyan and Ya Ya inside the car witnessed a scene they would never forget:
Where the moonlight passed, those monstrous creatures with blue faces and fangs, exuding a foul stench and an ominous aura, exploded like rotten tomatoes struck by an invisible giant hammer, utterly powerless to resist!
It turned into a sticky, ominous black mud that splashed everywhere, making the already filthy road even more chaotic.
With just one slash, the seemingly endless horde of Dead Servants that had previously swarmed the elevated highway was instantly wiped out!
The view became much wider.
The scene was like using a floor scrubber to completely remove cat poop that had been evenly coated and then baked into a thin, crispy layer by the underfloor heating – so satisfying it was almost unbearable.
The girl's figure, holding a sword, stood amidst the interplay of lightning and moonlight, her long hair and skirt fluttering, like a female sword goddess descending to earth to wield judgment. This image was deeply imprinted on the souls of Su Xiaoyan and Ya Ya, and they would probably never forget it for the rest of their lives.
Ya Ya clung tightly to Su Xiaoyan's arm, her eyes wide, her voice trembling with disbelief:
"Yan, Yan Yan, Zihang... brought back a female sword saint?!"
She had only ever seen this kind of scene in action-packed anime like One Piece, and never imagined she would see it in real life.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoyan first stared blankly at Xia Mi's dashing figure outside the car, then turned to look at her son, who was acting as the atmosphere-maker but was clearly also extraordinary.
The panic and fear that had just filled my heart quickly dissipated, replaced by a strong sense of security and pride.
Yeah! Even though we encountered monsters, my daughter-in-law is such a good fighter! And my son doesn't look like a normal person either!
What am I afraid of?!
The ones who should be panicking are those blind monsters!
Thinking of this, she released her arm from her best friend, tidied her slightly disheveled hair, and straightened her back a bit:
"Zihang loves practicing kendo, so finding a girlfriend with similar interests isn't a big deal."
Ya Ya looked at her best friend who had suddenly become so Versailles-like and wanted to pinch her face and ask, "If this is no big deal, then what is?"
Is it your future daughter-in-law's breasts?!
Outside the car, Xia Mi wiped out all the enemy fodder with a single strike. With a flick of her wrist, Murasame drew a graceful arc in the air, shaking off all the rainwater that had seeped from the blade.
Then, with a "clang," he deftly sheathed his sword, his movements fluid and graceful, a sight to behold.
Immediately afterwards, the sharp, sword-like aura surrounding her vanished completely, as if the female swordswoman who had just slain demons was merely an illusion.
She turned around, her face once again displaying the sweet and gentle smile that Su Xiaoyan and Ya Ya knew, and waved to them:
"Aunt Xiaoyan, Aunt Yaya, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoyan and Ya Ya realized that their supposedly discreet surveillance had probably already been discovered by these two young people.
But at this moment, they didn't care about being embarrassed, after all, their worldview was being rebuilt in a dramatic way, and their brains were obviously not able to keep up with the magical development of reality.
Su Xiaoyan was ultimately more easygoing and reacted faster than Ya Ya, who was still in a daze.
The car was turned off, and the electric window couldn't be rolled down, so she simply leaned on her best friend, pressed her whole face against the cold car window, and gave Xia Mi a thumbs up, her eyes full of amazement, admiration, and pride that "my future daughter-in-law is awesome."
Caught off guard, Ya Ya felt a little suffocated and quickly patted her best friend's arm to prevent herself from being suffocated by the baby's milk.
Xia Mi didn't notice the surging waves below the car window. After responding with a smile, she raised her finger and pointed to the tall, dark figure still standing in the hazy light at the end of the road:
"Aunt Xiaoyan, Aunt Yaya, please sit in the car for a while. I'll go and take care of that charlatan. We'll be home soon."
Su Xiaoyan propped herself up, giving Ya Ya a chance to catch her breath. At the same time, she looked in the direction Ya Ya was pointing and saw that the tall, dark figure, who looked like the final boss in a game, still had an astonishing aura. He was not shaken at all by the elimination of his minions, which made Su Xiaoyan feel a little worried again.
She quickly tapped on the car window to draw Xia Mi's attention, then pointed at Chu Zihang; the meaning couldn't be clearer:
Daughter-in-law, are you sure you can manage on your own? Let Zihang help you; a mixed doubles team is always safer!
When you encounter this kind of monster, don't bother with any chivalrous code; just go head-to-head with it!
Seeing this, Chu Zihang looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
The process of getting to Nibelungen was quite simple and straightforward.
Xia Mi had no intention of carrying him. She pulled him to a secluded corner, and without even pretending, she vanished into the shadows. After walking a few steps through the void, she was already above Nibelungen, watching with a conflicted expression as Su Xiaoyan's white BMW rammed and ran over Deadpool, and then Deadpool, enraged, called his accomplices to chase after her...
Once the emotional atmosphere was sufficiently built up, Xia Mi specifically told him not to meddle in other people's business, to focus on being cool and creating a good atmosphere, and to leave the rest to her.
What could he do? He was helpless, too.
Faced with a Dragon King who was eager to make a good impression on his future mother-in-law, what could he do but nod in agreement and try to steal the spotlight?
So you want to sleep on the sofa from now on?
So, faced with his mother's urging gaze, Chu Zihang could only silently follow Xia Mi a few steps forward, walk around the white BMW blocking the road, and stand in front of the car, standing there like a guardian deity of the vehicle.
Xia Mi gave Su Xiaoyan inside the car a look that said, "Don't worry, everything is under control," before gracefully leaping over the huge pit that could easily hold more than a dozen Yamcha pouches.
She strode forward with her long legs, clad in white canvas shoes and knee-high socks, walking unhurriedly toward the lone Odin puppet standing in the rain and halo in the distance.
The rain continued to pour down, but it didn't fall on her.
Although the Murasame sword in his hand had been sheathed, its hidden sharpness continued to increase with each step he took.
As Xia Mi approached, the tall, armored figure wearing a bronze mask finally reacted.
Beneath the mask, a deep, resonant voice rang out, piercing through the wind and rain, clearly reaching Xia Mi's ears:
"Long time no see, my dear sister."
His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to travel with the wind and rain to every corner of the Nibelungen.
However, Xia Mi merely gave a barely perceptible smirk, with a hint of disdain.
From the moment she chose to appear, she forcibly took over this Nibelungen region with her own power.
This kingdom of the dead, constructed with Odin's power, would be a challenge for Xia Mi if Odin himself were present, but it's merely a puppet.
Don't think she's really weak!
Now, she is the ruler here, the queen.
She said that if Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoyan behind her couldn't hear her, then they definitely wouldn't hear a single word.
Remember, Odin, now you are the challenger!
"But what I saw was just an empty puppet, a substandard product that wasn't even a clone."
Xia Mi continued walking, her voice cold and undisguised, filled with mockery: "Can this be considered a meeting? My dear brother."
Her gaze was sharp, as if piercing through the heavy armor and bronze mask, looking straight to the core.
In the capital, she only had time to see Chen Tianmu, who had been crippled by Lu Mingfei's slap, before the power of Odin dissipated.
The one before him was a creation closer to his original will; the wisp of divine thought wrapped around the mask alone was enough to influence the authority of the King of the Sky and the Wind.
The single eye, burning with golden flames beneath Odin's mask, watched the approaching girl, and his deep voice rang out again:
“You are my intelligent and ambitious sister, and one of Father’s most perfect creations. No one would dare to keep a date with you without being fully prepared.”
He had already noticed that the Nibelungen was out of control, but he didn't care.
Upon hearing this, Xia Mi continued to advance unhurriedly, still holding her knife: "But you already discovered me, why didn't you kill me while I was still weak?"
Five years ago, on that typhoon night, she was near the overpass, quietly waiting for the father and son to emerge from Nibelungen.
But in the end, only Chu Zihang came out.
Given Odin's keen perception, since he had already identified Chu Zihang as a hunting target and left his mark on him, it was impossible for him not to have discovered his existence.
He hasn't made a move all these years, and we don't know what he's planning.
Odin said calmly, "Observation is always the best way to understand your opponent."
I just wanted to see what you were up to, but I have to say, you've disappointed me, my dear sister.
“You used to always like to find mates for Fenrir, but now you finally can’t resist wanting to taste love for yourself.” He added with a hint of amusement, “I just didn’t expect you to actually fall for it.”
“In the past, I only thought you were a little weak in strength, but your will was strong enough and your ambition was huge enough, but now it seems…”
"Clang—!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by a clear, resonant clang that seemed capable of severing everything!
Murasame unsheathes!
There was no dazzling moonlight, no overwhelming momentum, only a sharp, condensed, and incredibly fast white blade of light!
The moment the blade appeared, the surrounding wind, rain, sounds, and light seemed to be sucked away and swallowed up by that single strike!
Never before in history has a blade been so swift, nor has there ever been such poetic killing intent; its loneliness is enough to sever time itself.
But Chu Zihang, who had been watching this scene closely, suddenly widened his eyes, as if he were seeing his father from five years ago, who had single-handedly covered his escape and, in the face of the terrifying threat of life and death, resolutely chose to be cool and assassinate the god!
Odin, just like before, conjured a starlight spear in his hand, raised it high, as if to pierce through the overconfident little girl.
However--
Whoosh!
Xia Mi's figure blurred for a moment, and in the next fraction of a second, she had already traversed a distance of a hundred meters like a ghost, appearing in front of Odin without warning!
Murasame's icy blade was only a hair's breadth away from Odin's neck, which was covered in dark gold armor!
Odin's single eye beneath his mask suddenly opened wide, its golden pupil clearly reflecting the girl's face, which was close at hand, indifferent yet tinged with offended disgust and icy killing intent.
In that instant, a look of understanding flashed in Odin's eyes, as if confirming a certain guess in his heart.
But Xia Mi didn't give him any chance to say it.
"Die, you son of a bitch!"
"BOOM—!!!"
An unprecedentedly thick bolt of lightning, like the wrathful lash of a god, suddenly struck down, illuminating the entire dark world in a ghastly white light!
The arc drawn by the divine sword was as beautiful as a girl's eyebrows, lightly brushing across Odin's neck.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
laugh--
The head wearing the bronze mask separated from the neck and was thrown upwards into the air!
Blood gushed out incessantly from the incision.
The headless, burly body stood frozen in place, the unfinished, twisted spear in its hand falling to the ground with a clang, turning into black smoke and dissipating.
Immediately afterwards, the massive headless body collapsed forward with a loud thud, crashing heavily onto the wet pavement with a dull thud.
"Thump!"
The flying head spun and crashed to the ground, its momentum causing it to roll several times before coming to a stop, lying face up.
The bronze mask shattered completely the moment the blade struck, revealing a ferocious foreign face with two dim, reddish-gold eyes.
The girl stood still, the wind whipping her long, black hair and plaid skirt, making them flutter loudly.
She didn't even turn around to look at the defeated man's corpse, but simply raised her head and let out a soft hum.
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an imposing and unquestionable authority, resounding throughout the entire Nibelungen.
I used to be Jormungandr. You looked down on me, but I didn't care.
But now I am Hela, the Goddess of Death. What should you call me?
