Reincarnated as a Tabby Cat: Daily Life with the School Beauty Empress

Chapter 51 The Man in Black

"Who are you!" Su Qianxue frowned.

"The one who will kill you!" A man in black glanced at Murong Hui and said, "I only kill one person, a young member of the Murong family. Please leave, or I'll kill you too. I'll give you three seconds to consider!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Hui did not back down: "You are from the Dragon Soaring Empire!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qianxue roughly guessed that these two Martial Kings must have been sent by the Wang family.

"Since that's the case, then..."

'

The man in black on the right raised his hand, and two black contract arrays were simultaneously activated. A giant scorpion covered in black armor crawled out of the array, its eight legs making a series of clicking sounds as they stepped on the stone slabs, and the poisonous stinger at its tail glowed with an eerie green light.

The other one was a shadow leopard, three times the size of an ordinary leopard, its entire body shrouded in a layer of flowing black mist, making its outline indistinct, with only two scarlet eyes floating in the black mist.

Both contracted beasts possessed the aura of peak ninth rank.

In addition, there are two level-ten Martial Kings themselves.

Su Qianxue tightened her grip on the staff.

She was very calm.

Calmly calculating all the possibilities.

There's only one conclusion: we can't win.

A sixth-tier opponent versus a tenth-tier opponent—that's a difference of four major realms. Let alone two tenth-tier opponents, even one would be enough to kill her eight times over.

Yichen perched on her shoulder, his emerald green cat eyes fixed on the two people opposite him, his mind racing faster than ever before.

[Two Rank 10 Martial Kings. Sorcery is only effective against Rank 7 and below, so it's useless. Illusion magic is at most effective against Rank 9, but useless against Rank 10, so it's useless. The 120x gravity space, at most, will slow down the Rank 10 physiques by half a beat, but won't injure them. Can the Foshan Shadowless Claw injure a Rank 10 Martial King? Yes, but not kill. Two opponents plus two Rank 9 contracted beasts, four against two, it's still a crushing defeat.]

[It’s over. 】

Murong Hui had already held the Crimson Flame Sword horizontally in front of her, and the Clear Fire Phoenix hovered above her head, its bluish-white flames illuminating half of the hall. But her hands were trembling, not from fear, but from her body instinctively telling her that courage couldn't bridge the gap in their levels.

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Qianxue's mind.

Memories of the past life will not be present in the next.

Reborn, am I destined to die in a conspiracy again?

She held her staff horizontally in front of her, the crown at the top of the staff shining with a pale golden light.

She unfolded the shield of light in front of her. She knew that a tenth-level martial artist could shatter it with a single punch, but having a shield was better than having none.

Yi Chen's tail curled around Su Qianxue's neck.

Golden cat fur clung to her skin, conveying warmth.

[Oh no, we definitely can't win this time, we need to find a chance to escape!]

"Qianxue, I sent a distress signal to the family using the security code." Murong Hui's voice was barely audible, her lips barely moving. "Just hold on for three minutes, and someone will come."

three minutes.

Su Qianxue's mind raced. Sixth rank versus tenth rank—a difference of four major realms. Three minutes, one hundred and eighty seconds. Every second was a luxury.

Before she could reply, the two men in black made their move.

They didn't charge head-on. Their figures flashed and disappeared into the shadows on both sides of the hall. When they reappeared, they had already circled around behind Su Qianxue and Murong Hui.

Ahead, the Black Armored Giant Scorpion and the Shadow Panther blocked the escape route to the tunnel.

Behind them, two level-ten Martial Kings blocked all the space deep inside the hall.

They were surrounded from the front and back, and blocked off from all sides.

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was premeditated. Every position was calculated, leaving no room for maneuver.

"kill!"

At a command, the two men in black and the two ninth-tier contracted beasts moved simultaneously.

Four attacks came from four directions.

The speed was so fast that Su Qianxue and Murong Hui couldn't even see the movements clearly; their eyes only caught a few afterimages.

The speed of a tenth-tier Martial King is on a completely different level from that of a sixth-tier Martial King.

[Gravity Space!]

hum!

Yi Chen activated the gravity field at full power, 120 times its normal strength, maximizing its coverage.

All four attacks paused simultaneously.

The two men in black suddenly sank half a body length, and the stone slab beneath their feet was pressed into a spiderweb-like crack by the weight.

The black-armored giant scorpion's eight legs bent at the same time, causing its venomous tail to miss its target.

The Shadow Leopard's attack path was a foot lower, its front paws grazing Murong Hui's head as it flew past.

Just that one moment of hesitation.

"spread!"

Su Qianxue went left, and Murong Hui went right.

boom!

The ground where the two had been standing was blasted into a two-meter-deep crater by the aftershocks of the four attacks, with debris flying everywhere.

Murong Hui glanced at the pit, and cold sweat instantly poured down her back. If they had been even half a second later, they would both be minced meat in the pit.

"Damn it! That damn cat!" cursed the man in black on the left. "Don't let them get away!"

Two men in black caught up with them again.

Their speed was still overwhelming, but the interference of the gravitational field slowed their attacks by a fraction of a second each time.

In those fractions of a second, Su Qianxue and Murong Hui barely managed to dodge a fatal attack.

One move, two moves, three moves.

Every dodge was extremely awkward.

Su Qianxue's staff was too slow to attack and could only be used for blocking. Murong Hui's Crimson Flame Sword blocked a palm strike from the man in black, but her entire arm went numb from the shock, her hand split open, and blood flowed down the hilt of the sword.

But they are still alive.

The two had already run outside the passageway and arrived at the Black Stone Forest.

"Hmph." The man in black on the right sneered and stopped his pursuit. He formed a hand seal, and the rocks beneath his feet began to tremble.

"Not good! Earth-attribute area attack! Get down!" Murong Hui hadn't even finished shouting.

"Rockblast!"

Rumble! The rocks around the ground began to shatter, and countless fragments of rock, carrying shockwaves of earth-elemental spiritual energy, crashed down on the two of them.

It wasn't a precision strike; it was carpet bombing.

The coverage area is fifty meters.

No one can escape.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A shower of gravel rained down on the two of them.

Murong Hui was wearing a high-grade defensive spirit armor, which was a life-saving trump card prepared for her by the Murong family before she left home. Most of the pebbles hit the spirit armor and were deflected, and she only suffered some superficial injuries.

Su Qianxue does not have a spirit armor.

Three fist-sized pebbles struck her back and right rib, the shockwave of earth-elemental energy penetrating her spiritual energy defenses and directly affecting her internal organs.

She was thrown into the air, rolled twice on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood, dark red, which splattered on the gray stone slab.

Yi Chen was also hit by the rubble and fell off Su Qianxue's shoulder. His small golden body bounced twice on the ground and rolled three meters away.

"Heh heh, still trying to run away." Two men in black landed not far from Su Qianxue, looking down at her.

Su Qianxue tried to stand up, supporting herself with her staff, but a sharp pain shot through her right rib, and she knelt down again halfway up. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, running down her chin to the ground.

The difference between the tenth and sixth tiers is so cruel that a second move is unnecessary.

She looked up at the two black figures in front of her, her mind going blank for a moment.

I felt the same way when my senior sister stabbed me in the back in my previous life. Helplessness, despair, and resentment.

Not reconciled!

Reborn once again, only to die in a conspiracy?

Her gaze shifted to the side. Yichen lay sprawled among the rubble three meters away, its golden fur stained with dust, but it was resilient and still managed to stand.

Su Qianxue gritted her teeth and crawled over, picked him up, and hugged him tightly.

Her fingers touched the wound on the cat's back, and warm blood stained her hand.

Her eyes reddened.

"It's because I'm too weak. It's all my fault for not being able to protect you."
