Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman - chapter 344
Along with Cecily’s words, Jiji’s movements stopped too, looking towards the sky as they did.
At that moment, the air above the roof seemed to ripple, and all of a sudden, the sunlight that shone down on them warped slightly as a wormhole appeared in thin air.
The members of the Peacekeepers all jumped down from midair and arranged themselves neatly into eleven squads.
The onlookers had been astonished enough by how Jiang Shuxuan’s subordinates showed up, but they were even more surprised when these people appeared out of…A rip in space? Was this teleportation?!
Before any of them could react, the Peacekeepers all turned towards a single direction and shouted, their voices deafening, “Miss Gu!”
The onlookers finally realized that these were Gu Xiqiao’s subordinates, and they wiped the cold sweat off of their foreheads in fright.
Gu Xiqiao opened her eyes and looked towards the Peacekeepers. “Where’s Xixi and Dog Feed?”
Yao Jiamu’s lips twitched slightly, and as he was about to complain that those two ran off halfway the air rippled again.
“Beauty Qiao, we’re here!”
“Good.” Gu Xiqiao nodded, before casting her gaze back at the hellish scene that was unfurling down below. “Look at those beasts, are you scared?”
“No we’re not!” Upon being asked, they all refused immediately and looked down towards the zoo. No wonder Miss Gu got them to come here out of nowhere, so it was because she wanted them to fight!
Even though the mutated animals down below were ferocious and terrifying, all the Peacekeepers were excited and raring for a fight!
“Damn, as crazy as always, that lot.” Yi Tiao’s eyebrow twitched slightly upon seeing their reaction.
Yi Tong sighed in agreement. “They’re probably the only ones that would dare to go down there.”
One would be hard-pressed to find anyone that would dare go down there in the entire ancient martial arts world excluding Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan, but the Peacekeepers could and would do so!
Yi Bing looked down at the scene below with a thoughtful gaze. Their team hadn’t known that the scene below would have been like this before they came here, and now that they were face to face with it, even they were taken aback. “Call me crazy, but I’m somehow not worried for them in the slightest.”
“Ditto.” Yi Tiao muttered in agreement.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have thought that a hundred-man team would have even the slightest chance of winning, but these were the Peacekeepers that had been trained by Gu Xiqiao herself! These people were revered all throughout the ancient martial arts world, and no one would question their ability!
Miss Gu and her Peace Manor could do anything if they set their mind to it!
“What are you guys doing?” Yi Tong asked upon seeing some of the Americans starting to step forwards.
The Americans replied with a solemn tone, “Mr. Yi Tong, this is a matter of life and death for America, and we can’t just let your people bear the brunt of this attack!”
“Good, I was starting to believe that you guys didn’t have a conscience.” Yi Tong waved his hand dismissively. “That being said, you only need to watch the show with the Peacekeepers there, you’d only be a burden if you went down there anyway.”
The Americans all looked at each other dubiously, not sure of what they should do. Who were the Peacekeepers? Why was he so sure that they could deal with this?
“Alright, Mr. Yi Tong is right.” Cecily and the leader of America sounded out in agreement. “Just watch and see.”
Even Cecily and their leader were so confident in these Peacekeepers? Those people looked at each other in surprise before they all walked over to the leader and stood behind him, looking down at the zoo as instructed.
It was only then that he realized that these squads of youngsters that seemed to emanate limitless power were the Peacekeepers. “So this is the group that Miss Gu recruited me into?”
It seemed to be quite promising!
At this, he walked over to Gu Xiqiao and lowered his head slightly. “Miss Gu.”
He had been under Gu Xiqiao’s many graces, so it was time for him to show that he wasn’t someone that didn’t have a sense of gratitude.
“You haven’t gone through training yet, so just watch from here okay?” Gu Xiqiao knew what he wanted to do, but she refused. “I’ll only let you join the fighting when you can win against Cecil, at least.”
Alang didn’t know the point of having him join them if she wasn’t going to allow him to fight, but he digressed.
The Peacekeepers already knew that there was going to be a new recruit from the loudspeaker Xixi, and upon seeing that Alang wasn’t afraid of the scene below in the slightest, they all smiled in approval.
His personality fit the Peacekeepers well!
“Thank goodness I got here in time.” Li Yu came onto the roof from the stairwell so he was still panting tiredly, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Xiqiao and the others still there.
“Why are you here?” Yi Tong asked in surprise. “Don’t you have a photoshoot or something, Mister Superstar?”
Li Yu took out his phone and shook it slightly. “I was in the middle of filming a movie nearby, and I got wind that the zoo was locked down, so I knew things were about to go down.”
Along with Li Yu, some people from the Bai gang came to this place too.
“Boss, are these the Peacekeepers?” One of the members asked upon seeing the squads lined up beside Gu Xiqiao.
Boss Bai’s gaze didn’t leave Gu Xiqiao’s direction as he replied: “Don’t talk.”
Upon seeing this, the member made a gesture of zipping his mouth shut before looking towards the zoo like everyone else.
And so, the rooftop was filled with an enraptured audience that was waiting in bated breath for the epic battle to start.
Cecily spared another glance at the people from America, and said, “Look at how they cooperate and fight these monsters!”
She had seen how Gu Xiqiao trained these people back in Baixing Village, so she knew that just by looking at them fight, they would be able to learn many things that they hadn’t known before.
Of course, they would also feel a great sense of powerlessness.
“Brother Jiang, help us maintain the barrier and the array, okay?” Gu Xiqiao looked towards Jiang Shuxuan.
This battle was bound to be a dynamic and large-scaled one, so if the barrier broke even the leftover shockwaves from the battle would be able to cause mass destruction.
“Don’t worry, I will.” Jiang Shuxuan nodded and looked down at her. “Take care of yourself.”
Gu Xiqiao nodded, and with a single gesture, she and the Peacekeepers all jumped down towards the zoo!
Upon catching sight of a living being, one tiger that had mutated to thrice its size immediately pounced towards them!
Gu Xiqiao’s expression was as calm and collected as always as a bolt of lightning shot out from above her head and struck the tiger mercilessly, and before the tiger could react it was slammed into the ground by the sheer force of the attack. Meanwhile, the Peacekeepers had found their own targets, and were using their techniques and abilities with abandon.
Baili Wen trapped a lion and a cobra in an array while one of his teammates struck down at the enemy with a Lightning Blade!
“They can utilize sword aura!” One of the Americans shouted in surprise before another did too, “Why did that lance user’s weapon disappear all of a sudden?!”
Yi Tong explained proudly, “That’s one of our martial arts techniques, the Unseen Lance!”
“What the f*ck? I thought that bird and that flower were just Miss Gu’s pets! Why are they so strong?!” Someone exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing Dog Feed swallow a mutated horse.
Yi Bing looked towards them with a mirthful glint. “You’re not wrong!”
It was one thing for her subordinates to be strong, but why were two pets so unbelievably strong too?!
At first, they were all exclaiming and gasping in awe, but soon enough they were all so astonished by what was happening that they couldn’t say a word.
The squad that was the most ferocious out of all them was the one led by Yao Jiamu, and together with Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen, three of the members with the most power and brutality within all of the Peacekeepers were grouped into the same squad.
Yao Jiamu used his chi to trap a cobra while Xiao Yun rushed forward and grabbed it before swinging it down mercilessly onto the ground and swinging her fists at it repeatedly and Wu Hongwen followed suit. This mutated cobra that seemed to be terrifying and unbeatable in the eyes of others was immediately turned into a punching bag.
In the end, that cobra didn’t even struggle anymore and just laid there on the ground weakly, letting Yao Jiamu and the others punch it, all thoughts of fighting back lost.
Another young man swung his blade so quickly it could barely be seen in the mass of mutated animals, and the weaker ones were killed by him in an instant.
But the most terrifying of them all was Gu Xiqiao!
She walked slowly on the battlefield, looking as if she was just taking a walk in the park as the dust and shockwaves from the battles around her didn’t affect her in the slightest.
She didn’t attack much, but when she did it was to strike down any animals that tried to fly into the air with a single bolt of lightning or a single swing of her palm.
It was clear at this point that she was trying to help the Peacekeepers train, and whenever someone couldn’t hold on anymore, she would immediately rush over to them and protect them.
Xixi and Dog Feed were two indomitable forces on the battlefield as well—Xixi shifted into its largest form and burnt down enemies into ash with its blue flames and knocked them over with its wings, while Dog Feed chomped down on the enemies with a single gulp before spitting them out again and finding its next target.
Everyone on the battlefield was greatly cooperative and knew exactly when and where they had to be at a certain place, and how to fill up the gaps in their formations seamlessly. Even Xixi and Dog Feed always appeared perfectly wherever they were needed, and it was as if the Peacekeepers were a finely tuned battle machine that had everyone sitting at the edge of their seats.
The mutated animals that had been roaring up a storm not twenty minutes earlier were all pummeled into the ground, and at this point, all one could hear was their painful yelps and moans!
What just happened?!
The audience on the rooftop could barely hold in their excitement!
This scene was way too shocking to be put into words!
These people had already set their minds on defending their country, and some of them were already prepared to die in battle, but now that they saw this, all they could do was tremble in excitement and hot-blooded fervor!
This was a true one-sided battle!
The Peacekeepers used their actions to show that they were unstoppable, invincible, and that they were the true masters of battle in this world! Those beasts were nothing but rag dolls in front of them!
