Chapter 119 The Extraordinary Box
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, as if the ground beneath his feet trembled.
Then he continued, "This seemingly frail young lady, I kindly advise you not to meddle in this matter."
As he spoke, his sharp, hawk-like eyes scanned Huan Yuechu up and down, as if trying to see right through her.
"Otherwise, if you provoke the wrong people or things, you might bring yourself endless and unimaginable trouble!"
After saying that, he glared at the little girl fiercely, which made her tremble and almost drop the box in her hand.
Huan Yuechu's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at the box the little girl was tightly clutching in her arms.
In an instant, she keenly sensed a powerful yet subtle energy fluctuation slowly emanating from the box.
Her heart skipped a beat; a strong intuition told her that this seemingly ordinary box was anything but simple.
So she turned her head, her beautiful eyes staring directly at the burly man in front of her, and said in a cold voice, "You keep saying that this box is yours, but what evidence do you have to prove it?"
Upon hearing this, the burly man laughed arrogantly, his face full of disdain and arrogance.
He raised his thick finger, pointed to the crowd around him, and shouted loudly.
"Hahahaha! Why don't you ask these people and see if this box really belongs to Wu Quan!"
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this, but no one dared to utter a sound in response.
They simply lowered their heads silently, not daring to meet Wu Quan's gaze, for fear of getting into trouble.
Clearly, from the current situation, it is evident that this burly man named Wu Quan must be a powerful and influential person. Everyone is terrified of him, and no one wants to have anything to do with this matter.
However, Huan Yuechu showed no fear in the face of such a formidable opponent.
She straightened her back and said firmly, "No matter what's inside this box, I will save this child today!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Quan's face turned ashen with rage. He glared at his enemies and roared through gritted teeth.
"Fine! Since you're going to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, then don't blame us for being impolite! You should think carefully about how you, with your meager abilities, are no match for me!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already raised his fist and pounced on Huan Yuechu like a storm.
Just then, Huan Yuechu swayed slightly, dodging Wu Quan's fierce attack in an instant, like a ghost.
Her movements were light and agile, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing the situation was not good, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu quickly moved to Huan Yuechu's side without hesitation, standing shoulder to shoulder with her to face the menacing Wu Quan.
Wen Xingyu quietly leaned close to Huan Yuechu's ear and whispered something.
"Sister Yuechu, I feel that this box contains an extraordinary power. This matter is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface."
Her gaze was fixed on the seemingly ordinary box, her brows furrowed, and she secretly pondered the secrets that might be hidden within it.
Huan Yuechu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
She originally thought that only she could sense the strange aura emanating from the box, but she never expected that Wen Xingyu would also have such a keen sense of perception.
She nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Wen Xingyu's view.
Just then, the little girl who had been standing quietly to the side suddenly shouted.
"Sister, this box is mine! These people are all bad guys; they stole my box!"
Tears welled in the girl's eyes, and her face was filled with grievance and anger.
Hearing the little girl's cries, Huan Yuechu and the others' eyes became even more determined.
She knew that she couldn't let these villains succeed no matter what, and she had to help the little girl get back what belonged to her.
In the blink of an eye, the three burly men from Wu Quan's command charged at Huan Yuechu and Wen Xingyu like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
Facing the menacing enemy, Huan Yuechu showed no fear. She quickly took out a mysterious magical artifact from her bosom and threw it forcefully into the air.
The magical artifact spun rapidly in the air, like a radiant flying wheel.
As it rotated, blinding beams of light suddenly burst forth, shooting straight towards the three enemies.
Meanwhile, Xu Yan, standing to the side, was not to be outdone.
With a flick of her wrist, the sword in her hand instantly transformed into a streak of cold light, and she swung it out with lightning speed.
With a crisp clang, Xu Yan's sword accurately deflected the weapon from one of the enemies, instantly thwarting their attack.
On the other side, Wen Xingyu was even more agile, reaching out and pulling a slender whip from her waist.
Immediately afterwards, she swung her arm forcefully, and the whip danced in the air like a serpent.
With a crisp "snap," the whip lashed the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This move successfully deterred the two enemies who were charging at her.
The two henchmen paused, their faces showing hesitation.
Seeing this, Wu Quan roared, "Useless trash, what are you afraid of! Attack!"
The two gritted their teeth and attacked again.
Huan Yuechu quickly formed hand seals, and the magic weapon shone even brighter, forming a light screen in front of her.
Xiao Bao hid behind, his eyes fixed on the battle.
Amidst the chaotic battle, the little girl looked around in terror. Suddenly, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
With a "bang," the box she was tightly holding rolled away and slid to a spot not far away.
At that moment, Wu Quan, who was struggling to break free from Huan Yuechu and the others' restraints, caught a glimpse of the rolling box.
Overjoyed, he used all his strength and finally managed to break free from the entanglement, rushing towards the box like an arrow released from a bow.
However, just as Wu Quan was about to touch the box, a figure flashed past like a ghost.
It was Huan Yuechu! With a flash, she drew a graceful arc in the air and landed steadily next to the box, grabbing it firmly in her hand with lightning speed.
Just as Huan Yuechu grasped the box, an extremely powerful and mysterious force suddenly surged out of the box.
This force, like a surging torrent, swept across the entire area in an instant.
Everyone present felt as if they were being held down by an invisible force, their bodies completely unable to move, as if they had been subjected to a terrible immobilization spell.
