Free Web NovelChapter 892: Chapter 888: Are You Sure You’re Not Here as a Joke?!
Upon seeing Xiang Yiting’s figure appearing in the arena, Xiao Tian’s first thought was that something was wrong, while also feeling curious as to why Xiang Yiting would appear behind the crowd, and how she could risk showing up at the eye of the storm upon hearing the commotion.
However, Xiang Yiting’s sudden appearance undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere to another high point. The enraged crowd suddenly found an outlet for their emotions and rushed forward to surround her. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Xiang Yiting was already stunned at this moment, speechless as she looked at the crowd that suddenly surrounded her. Her pale face clearly showed her current tension and helplessness.
"You vicious woman, give me back my son’s life!"
The elderly woman who had been crying earlier crawled towards Xiang Yiting, with the people in front instinctively making way for her to pass.
Before Xiang Yiting could defend herself, the elderly woman grabbed her ankle and kept crying out for her life in return.
With the cries, more people began pointing fingers at Xiang Yiting, making it impossible for her to clarify even if she had a hundred mouths. The tears fell like soybeans from her eyes, making her look pitifully vulnerable.
Yet, the onlookers paid no heed as they continued whispering to each other, scrutinizing her.
Witnessing all this, Xiao Tian immediately made a decision. If he didn’t act now, Xiang Yiting might be beaten to death by the more extreme individuals, as the shattered glass served as a perfect example of the chaos.
Xiao Tian first absorbed and converted half of the energy brought out from the Shaking Light Disc, restoring clarity to his Divine Sense and temporarily shaking off his prior fatigue. Then, using the bit of True Qi he just recovered, he broke through the window, descending directly downward.
At that moment, the teary-eyed Xiang Yiting was trying to defend herself with a weak voice, her steps involuntarily retreating. But because the elderly woman was holding her ankle, she could only step in place.
"No, it’s not like that!" Xiang Yiting said with utmost grievance, "He was the one who pushed me to try and kill me. There’s surveillance footage as evidence!"
Before she could finish, the middle-aged woman on the ground holding a child suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "My husband is already dead, and you dare to slander him, you bitch!"
Shouting in anger, the middle-aged woman moved forward, reaching to grab Xiang Yiting’s hair.
The surrounding people blocked the way tightly, and Xiang Yiting, unable to move or dodge due to being tightly held by the ankle, could only shield her eyes with her hands, trying to block the aggressive woman’s attack.
...
After a while, Xiang Yiting found it strange that she wasn’t attacked by the middle-aged woman. The chaos and noise that had almost driven her mad disappeared, and even the grip on her ankle was released.
She tried opening her eyes and saw a broad back in front of her, firmly holding the arm of the woman who had tried to attack her. The elderly woman who had been holding her ankle was separated from her.
The next moment, as if everyone was hit by a Body Fixation Technique, they returned from their shock, turning their accusations towards Xiao Tian.
At the first sight of Xiao Tian, the young woman whose arm was firmly held went limp and screamed, "You accomplice of a murderer, give me back my husband’s life."
This cry seemed to ignite a fuse, and the crowd returned to its earlier frenzy, even more so than before.
Being accustomed to upheavals, Xiao Tian naturally wasn’t afraid of such a scene, but he understood clearly that the current situation was different. Being initially attacked made it extraordinarily difficult to turn the tides.
Moreover, he was convinced the other side would not allow him to explain, as preparations must have been made beforehand.
As expected, a dozen people quickly emerged from behind the young woman, with the one in the lead directly aimed a punch at Xiao Tian. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Despite presenting himself as a weak scholar, Xiao Tian obviously could not let the attacker strike. Otherwise, not only would he fail to turn the situation around, but he might also be placed in an even more disadvantageous position by some schemers.
With this in mind, Xiao Tian took a deep breath and suddenly pushed Xiang Yiting behind him, running headlong into the dozen or so men charging towards him.
Xiang Yiting screamed, unable to react or restrain him, as she watched Xiao Tian swallowed by the crowd, soon losing sight of him.
...
About three minutes later, the hoarse Xiang Yiting finally pushed into the crowd, but what she saw next left her and everyone else around gaping in astonishment...
The dozen burly men attacking Xiao Tian scattered, revealing him huddled on the ground, tightly clutching his head... with the middle-aged woman, bruised and unconscious, lying not far from him, along with a child frozen in terror.
"Yumi!"
From the group that acted as enforcers earlier, a figure rushed out, moving swiftly to the unconscious, bruised woman.
A moment later, cradling the unconscious woman, the man’s eyes filled with rage as he bared his teeth, "Beat that bastard to death for me!"
Upon receiving the order, the previously scattered men rushed forward once again, ferociously attacking Xiao Tian, who was lying on his side, still protecting his head.
However, a few minutes later, when the man holding the woman indicated to stop, he nearly popped his eyes out of their sockets.
"Are you all blind?!"
Looking at Xiao Tian still tightly holding his head on the ground, annoyed by the sight of yet another person with a bruised face, bleeding from the nose and mouth, the man yelled furiously.
The onlookers, who had been shouting continuously, found themselves speechless, or perhaps had nothing left to say about the situation.
Clearly, the target lay motionless, waiting to be beaten, yet twice the people had attacked their own — weren’t they trying to be funny?
Nevertheless, seeing this, Xiang Yiting seemed to grasp a few things, looking at Xiao Tian with an increasingly subtle emotion, but still worrying about everything before her!
Gently laying the woman down, the man pointed fiercely at Xiang Yiting, "First cripple that bitch who killed my brother-in-law, I’ll deal with the kid myself."
Xiang Yiting’s heart shuddered, overwhelmed with momentary helplessness. But then, Xiao Tian, who had been huddled on the ground, surprisingly bolted up, sprinting towards her and shielding her completely.
"Face me if you have anything!"
