Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1675 - 387: Chen Jiusi’s Plan to Rescue Liu Futong (Part 2)

Right now, Chou Niu's face turned ashen like deep water. He fixed his gaze on the fierce battle unfolding below, eyes burning with savage fury.

At that instant, he spotted Xiao Niu wielding the massive saber in his grip. That blade stood as the sole keepsake from his father. Long ago, his father had carried this saber into combat; now, Xiao Niu yearned to wield it for glory on the battlefield.

With this in mind, Xiao Niu hoisted the big saber high and rushed toward the foe. The enemy was a hulking warrior from the Grey Wolf Army. Spotting a young boy charging with a huge saber, he first showed disbelief, then sneered mockingly, and barreled straight at Xiao Niu.

Xiao Niu felt no fear whatsoever, embodying the spirit of a young calf defying tigers. He brought the big saber crashing down, yet the burly Grey Wolf Army soldier sidestepped with ease, then swung his own weapon in a deadly chop toward the back of Xiao Niu's neck. This blow could easily sever Xiao Niu's head clean off.

Xiao Niu jolted in shock and sprang upward, narrowly evading the strike.

Witnessing this, Chou Niu's body stiffened completely, eyes wide and unblinking in horror. Only upon seeing Xiao Niu evade the attack did he exhale in relief.

Yet before he could fully recover, he watched as the burly man knocked Xiao Niu to the dirt, then lifted his blade high, poised to cleave down at him.

"No!"

Chou Niu bellowed, but luckily, a Chou Niu Hall Disciple nearby dashed in, shoved the burly man aside, and slashed his blade to slay the Grey Wolf Army soldier.

"Xiao Niu, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, thank you, Uncle Tian."

This Chou Niu Hall Disciple, surnamed Tian, was merely in his thirties, yet in these times, getting called "uncle" at that age was utterly commonplace.

At this point, Uncle Tian remarked, "You’re so young; the battlefield isn’t for you."

Xiao Niu replied, "My dad said the life and death of the Holy Sect affects the entire world. Every Holy Sect Disciple must stand ready to live or die for the Holy Sect. With the Holy Sect facing such peril today, how can I stay safe in the back, watching my uncles and elders risk everything while I do nothing?"

"I can do it."

Xiao Niu stood once more, reaching for the big saber embedded in the soil, but Uncle Tian held him back.

"You’re too small to wield such a heavy weapon. Take this waist knife instead. Forget slaying foes for now—focus on staying alive."

With those words, Uncle Tian charged into the fray.

Seeing this, Xiao Niu gripped his waist knife and awkwardly plunged into the melee. He escaped death multiple times. Chou Niu, observing it all, could endure no longer. He turned to Chen Jie and declared, "I’m heading down to save him. Even if you let the Brain Worm devour my brain, I’m going anyway. I must go!"

Chen Jie eyed Chou Niu, whose eyes bulged in fierce determination, and posed a heart-piercing question.

"I don’t recall ever stopping you or forbidding you to go, do I?"

"Huh?"

Chou Niu went rigid. Indeed, he had never mentioned restricting him. Realizing this, Chou Niu cupped his fists and stated, "Then I thank you. If I perish on the battlefield, so be it. If I live, I’ll seek you out."

Chen Jie glanced at him upon hearing this and replied, "Alright, I’ll be waiting for you."

The pair shared a meaningful glance, sealing a silent pact. Then Chou Niu vaulted off the cliff without hesitation.

Freed from the cliff's edge, Chou Niu unleashed his full power as a Middle Melting Furnace Realm powerhouse. He hurtled downward at breakneck speed, and right before impact, he slammed both fists into the ground. A tremendous surge of Gang Qi exploded outward instantly, roaring toward the Grey Wolf Army.

With a deafening crash, hordes of Grey Wolf Army soldiers flew through the air. Simultaneously, Chou Niu harnessed the rebound to launch himself deep into the chaos. He snatched the big saber Xiao Niu had planted in the earth and, with one mighty swing, bisected a Grey Wolf Army soldier lunging at Xiao Niu.

In that instant, Xiao Niu spun around and beheld his Hall Master standing tall, clutching his father’s big saber, radiating the might of a war god who could hold off a thousand foes alone.

"Uncle Niu!"

Xiao Niu cried out Chou Niu’s title. Chou Niu glanced back at him and asked, "You alright?"

"I’m fine, Uncle Niu."

Xiao Niu assured Chou Niu. At this, Chou Niu grinned and said, "Stay behind me and watch. This is how you wield a blade."

As his words ended, Chou Niu swept his saber in a fierce arc. A line of Sword Gang erupted forth, and the devastating Sword Gang instantly shredded the nearby Grey Wolf Army soldiers.

Upon witnessing this, Xiao Niu’s eyes widened, brimming with utter adoration.

The court’s forces spotted a Molten Furnace Realm expert suddenly emerging on the battlefield, causing their brows to crease faintly. Were the foes unleashing a Molten Furnace Realm powerhouse so soon?

With that in mind, Tuotuo lifted his hand, sending a Molten Furnace Realm expert from the court’s ranks straight into the fray.

Right away, a massive showdown stood ready to explode.

From the Zoroastrian Sect’s perspective, Mr. Guan stared in shock as Chou Niu dropped from above. What was happening? Hadn’t Chou Niu ventured into the Ruins? How on earth was he showing up here?

This—this defied all reason!

Mr. Guan stood completely puzzled, yet Chou Niu was rampaging like a berserker amid the battlefield’s core. No opportunity to inquire now, he merely glanced upward at Chou Niu’s point of arrival.

His gaze traced along the cliff, revealing nothing unusual, no cave mouth in sight. It seemed utterly nonexistent.

He couldn’t grasp the Ruins’ method for concealing the cave entrance from outside view. Truly eerie.

At the same time, within the Returning Ruins Cave Entrance, Chen Jie turned to those around him and remarked, "The fighting down there is pretty brutal. Anyone want to go down and help? I absolutely won’t stop you."

Once Chen Jie spoke, Chen Long, Mei Tu, and Monkey held their ground. Rushing in now would just make them cannon fodder. They weren’t as reckless as Chou Niu.
