Chapter 369: Hard work plus a little talent
In the farm, Han Zhiqing was still hugging Zhao Nanxing tightly, her voice choked with sobs and excitement.

Zhao Nanxing patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay. Where's your grandpa?"

It would be fine if we didn't mention this, but once Han Zhiqing mentioned it, she started to cry: "I lost contact with my grandpa, I can't find him, and I don't know how he is doing now."

Zhao Nanxing quickly pushed Han Zhiqing away and asked in surprise, "So you have been spending this time alone?"

Han Zhiqing nodded: "I have been hiding alone for a while. The imperial capital lifted the search in the past few days, so I came to find you according to the method you left me."

Zhao Nanxing frowned immediately, sensing that the situation was going to be bad.

If Han Zhiqing was with her grandfather, with her grandfather's wisdom and ability, she might be able to avoid the search.

And Han Zhiqing was a weak human girl. It was impossible for her to hide safely in the imperial capital for half a month without any help.

There is only one possibility for her to come here successfully - someone indulged her on purpose.

"Come on!"

Zhao Nanxing grabbed Han Zhiqing's arm and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded in the darkness, like the sound of an aerial bomb falling from the sky.

An iron ball flew towards Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing at an extremely fast speed. The surface of the iron ball was burned red due to the high-speed friction with the air.

The iron ball came too fast, and Zhao Nanxing, who was carrying Han Zhiqing, had no time to dodge. At the critical moment, she suddenly raised her foot and swept forward, just kicking the flying iron ball.

Bang!
There was a loud bang when the sole of the foot collided with the iron ball, and the invisible shock wave shattered the windshields of the vehicles parked nearby.

Han Zhiqing, an ordinary person, felt a tightness in her chest due to the shock.

All of her bones and internal organs were under dangerously high pressure, and this was the result of Zhao Nanxing blocking most of the impact for her.

The iron ball was kicked by Zhao Nanxing and changed its direction, leaving a figure-seven trajectory and shooting towards the distance.

After breaking through the farm wall, it landed at least one kilometer away.

boom!
With a deafening bang, the iron ball blasted a huge hole in the ground like a large-caliber artillery shell. The strong vibration could be felt on the ground hundreds of meters around, and all the creatures in the nearby farms were shaken to death.

After Zhao Nanxing kicked the iron ball away, countless fierce gunshots suddenly rang out in the darkness around him, like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year, and the flashing flames from the muzzles illuminated the night.

Just like the Eternal Empire of the Human Federation, demons also like to use firearms, which are convenient to use and have great lethality.

Especially since most demons have life-type abilities, firearms are of great use to them.

A metal torrent formed by countless bullets covered Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing from all directions.

Zhao Nanxing grabbed Han Zhiqing and leaped, and the two of them jumped directly into the air.

She was not afraid of bullets, but she could not guarantee that she could protect Han Zhiqing under such intensive firepower.

The besieging demons seemed to have predicted Zhao Nanxing's actions long ago. The moment she jumped into the air with Han Zhiqing, dozens of rockets that had been waiting for a long time shot towards the target in the air with long tail flames.

Boom boom boom!
Huge flames bloomed in the sky.

However, she did not hit the target. Zhao Nanxing predicted the demon's prediction of her, and stopped her upward inertia halfway into the air and fell back to the ground.

Dozens of rockets exploding above their heads produced rolling heat waves and shock waves, making Xiaohui, who was standing on the ground, feel like he was about to be roasted. The shock waves shook his entire body so much that he seemed to be losing feeling.

But she gritted her teeth and said nothing, not wanting to disturb Zhao Nanxing.

Zhao Nanxing stomped his foot on the ground, and countless bullets were blown away.

She grabbed the bullets in her palm and then swung them around violently, throwing them out.

All the bullets were shot back at a faster speed than when they came, and the demons guarding the surroundings were killed one after another without even having time to scream.

Zhao Nanxing was about to leave dragging Han Zhiqing when he suddenly felt danger and quickly dodged backwards.

The terrifying shrieking sound from before rang out again, and the iron ball flew faster than the sound.

The moment Zhao Nanxing dodged backwards, she just happened to avoid the iron ball flying towards her.

The red-hot iron ball flew past her eyes and shot into the farm building on the other side. After penetrating countless walls, it flew hundreds of meters away.

boom!
A huge explosion came with a shock wave, blowing down all the buildings on the farm.

Han Zhiqing held her head with one hand and hid behind Zhao Nanxing, thus avoiding being blown away by the shock wave.

Zhao Nanxing's hair and clothes were blown constantly. She looked up at the darkness in front of her with a solemn look.

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a huge demon walked out of the darkness.

He was nearly three meters tall, and looked like a humanoid wild boar with fangs. In his arms, which were thicker than those of an adult, he was playing with two iron balls.

Each iron ball is larger than a human head, but in his palm it is no bigger than two glass balls.

"General Wild Boar?!"

Han Zhiqing, who had been gritting her teeth and keeping silent, finally couldn't help but speak. Her voice was trembling and stuttering, as if her upper and lower rows of teeth were fighting.

She had lived in the imperial capital for quite some time and recognized the senior military officer in charge of public security and counter-terrorism at a glance.

The Wild Boar General ignored Han Zhiqing, the minor character, and stared at Zhao Nanxing with his big eyes, then grinned: "Woman, you didn't expect that we would meet again!"

Zhao Nanxing said calmly: "I really didn't expect that a defeated general like you would dare to appear in front of me again."

When the shameful past was brought up again in front of him, General Wild Boar's face suddenly turned ugly.

The two sides had dealt with each other before and even had conflicts over certain things.

Although General Wild Boar was an ace-level senior military officer, he was still no match for Zhao Nanxing. He was severely taught a lesson and lost face in front of his colleagues and subordinates.

After a few seconds of silence, the Wild Boar General sneered, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent: "Things are different now, woman, are your injuries still not healed?"

Zhao Nanxing said expressionlessly: "You can come up and try."

"Do you think I would be so reckless as to fight you alone? I don't want to be dragged down by you and die together with you."

The Wild Boar General raised his head and laughed: "Come out, guys." Footsteps were heard again in the darkness, and two demons walked out from two other directions.

On the left is a giant humanoid lizard, also three meters tall, with dark scales covering its entire body, a forked tongue constantly moving in and out of its mouth, and a thick tail dragging behind it.

On the right is a taciturn strong man who looks more like a human than other monsters, but the pair of black horns on his head indicate that he is also a monster.

Three demons were guarding in three directions, tightly surrounding the two people in the middle.

Xiaohui's face had turned pale, his body was trembling slightly, and he couldn't even utter a word.

The two other demons who appeared were, like the Wild Boar General, high-ranking military officers in the imperial capital, possessing top-notch ace-level strength.

With three top aces, even if Zhao Nanxing was in good shape, he might not be able to win, let alone now that he is still injured.

Besides fear, Han Zhiqing was filled with regret. If she had not rashly come to see Zhao Nanxing, she would not have attracted so many enemies.

Faced with such a predicament, Zhao Nanxing remained calm and kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

"Don't even think about it. You can't escape today."

The Wild Boar General stopped talking nonsense, raised his left leg, made a baseball throwing motion, and threw the iron ball in his hand towards Zhao Nanxing.

The iron ball made a sharp whistling sound, which was more terrifying than a cannonball fired from a gun.

Zhao Nanxing grabbed Han Zhiqing and was about to hide to the side, but the demons guarding in the other two directions moved at the same time, rushing towards Zhao Nanxing, compressing her escape space.

Surrounded in such a small space, with a burden that was difficult to discard, Zhao Nanxing from the Three-Color Bathroom was almost in despair in an instant.

Humph. She stared at the oncoming iron ball with her eyes, and suddenly, a hand appeared out of thin air in her field of vision and grabbed the iron ball tightly.

At the same time, the two demons that were rushing towards this side suddenly changed direction strangely and rushed towards each other.

Bang!
The lizard and the bull demon collided fiercely. The violent collision not only made them see stars, but also formed a shock wave that blew the entire farm.

Zhao Nanxing ignored the two unlucky demons and stared at the familiar figure that appeared in front of him.

There was surprise and delight in his eyes, but at the same time, there was a heavy stone in his heart that finally fell to the ground, and he was relieved.

The Wild Boar General standing in front had his eyes almost popping out of his sockets.

The attack that he was so proud of was actually caught by someone with bare hands, and the iron ball was not even damaged.

This cannot be achieved simply by being stronger than him. If you are stronger, catching the ball head-on will only cause the iron ball to be damaged in the collision.

Being able to catch the iron ball without any damage requires not only strength far greater than that of the Wild Boar General, but also skills far superior to his.

Seeing the lizard and the bull demon colliding like possessed, a drop of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the wild boar general. He asked the mysterious man who suddenly appeared in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Shen Cheng ignored the Wild Boar General, threw the iron ball in his hand away, turned around to look at Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing, and greeted them: "Long time no see, both of you."

He had been watching secretly and wanted to see it to the end, but he didn't expect that Zhao Nanxing would also be in danger, so he had to show up early.

Han Zhiqing was stunned for a few seconds, then let out a scream of surprise, rushed towards Shen Chengfei and hugged him.

Zhao Nanxing wanted to say something but was interrupted by Han Zhiqing's scream.

The ignored Wild Boar General originally felt a strong sense of anger, but when he saw the lizard and the Bull Demon who had crawled up from the ground suddenly collided fiercely again and fought each other as enemies, a drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

Excluding the possibility that the Lizard and the Bull Demon suddenly went crazy, there was only one reason why they suddenly started fighting each other - their minds were controlled.

The fighting power of these two colleagues is almost the same as that of the Wild Boar General. The tricks used against them can be used on the Wild Boar General with the same great effect.

Realizing that the strange man in front of him was extremely dangerous and could not be defeated, the Wild Boar General quietly took a step back.

While the other party had his back turned to him, the Wild Boar General turned around and fled, leaving the Lizard and the Bull Demon behind.

Of course, if he could escape successfully, he would definitely not describe it like this. Instead, he would say that he had to fight hard to break through the siege, and that the Lizard and the Bull Demon were unable to escape in order to protect him.

After running for several kilometers in one breath, the Wild Boar General turned around and looked back. He was suddenly frightened to death. Shen Cheng, who was strolling in the garden, was actually following him slowly, just like a person who went out for a walk after dinner.

The Wild Boar General didn't dare to stop and ran forward desperately. However, no matter how fast he ran, Shen Cheng followed him slowly like a ghost and he couldn't get rid of him.

Han Zhiqing stared in astonishment, watching the Wild Boar General running non-stop on the spot, his two hooves almost rubbing sparks on the concrete floor.

Not to mention her, even Zhao Nanxing's face showed an uncontrollable surprise.

But she was also an ace after all, and she quickly understood what was going on with the Wild Boar General's possessed look.

She looked at Shen Cheng with a complicated expression, but also a little relieved: "After two years of not seeing you, you are so strong now that I can't understand you."

She still remembered the first time Ruan Qingsha brought Shen Cheng to her, Shen Cheng looked nervous and yet pretending to be calm.

At that time, Shen Cheng was just a capable junior in Zhao Nanxing's heart. If she had not become Ruan Qingsha's boyfriend, Zhao Nanxing would not even pay attention to him.

Later, the two met again in the incident of destroying the Life Court, and Shen Cheng was already at the same level as her.

Now two years have passed, and Shen Cheng has climbed to a place where even she needs to look up to him.

She had never heard of such a speed of progress.

"Nothing, just hard work and a little bit of talent."

Shen Cheng said something humble, although this sentence made Zhao Nanxing want to beat him up.

He gently pushed away Han Zhiqing who was hugging him tightly and refused to let go, and then said to Zhao Nanxing: "I just came here these two days. I originally wanted to meet Qingsha, but when I arrived in the capital, I found that she had become a wanted criminal. What happened?"

Zhao Nanxing glanced at the lizard and the bull demon who were still fighting each other, then glanced at the wild boar general who was still running in the same place, and then said to Shen Cheng: "Isn't this the time to chat?"

Shen Cheng nodded: "That's right, I'll deal with them first."

These three demons were all bewitched by Shen Cheng's mind magic and immersed in the illusions created by their senses.

Although this ability is not very useful when dealing with legends nowadays, it can still kill any legend with one strike.

As long as Shen Cheng does not remove the mind magic, the three demons will remain immersed in the illusion and will not be able to break free even if they realize something is wrong.
