"Master, run!" As Benson pushed you away, his left foot was chopped off almost entirely by Lin, blood splattering imdiately.
The handso man dared not linger any longer, hoisting you onto his back and hurriedly running outside the house. Shortly after the two of you left the cabin, Benson’s dying scream echoed from inside. The handso man’s complexion changed drastically, and he imdiately quickened his pace.
"You’re all going to die!" At this mont, Lin’s eyes were blood red, and the crazed man hurriedly burst out of the house. Seeing that you and the handso man hadn’t run far, he leapt into the air, his longsword carrying a trendously sharp montum, and slashed straight down.
"Clang!" In the nick of ti, you suddenly pushed the handso man who was carrying you, and reached your hand into the wall, lifting up the broken wall and hurling it towards Lin in the air.
"What are you waiting for, run!"
You didn’t know if this attack would work, but now it was your turn to carry the handso man and dash away.
At this mont, with the handso man on your back, you were running frantically to save your lives, exerting all your energy in the run. Fortunately, Lin had suffered internal injuries, and his speed was much slower than before. Despite this, the distance between Lin and you was still closing.
"Can you run?" you asked the handso man on your shoulder.
"I can!" The handso man nodded.
"Good!"
With that, you set the handso man down on the ground, while you continued to run, destroying walls and relentlessly throwing broken stones and wood fragnts at Lin.
You thought the commotion you caused would surely attract the patrol team. However, as you and the handso man burst out of the slum, you realized that the slum you were in wasn’t inside the main city, but was attached to the outside of the city wall. Moreover, you were now running in the opposite direction of the city wall, not far from the raging River Zimu!
"My God!"
You ran even faster, but the handso man beside you began to slow down.
Lin’s figure soared into the space between the two of you, a flash of white light, and the handso man’s right hand and right foot were severed. Your heart was filled with terror, but at the crucial mont, you fiercely punched Lin’s shoulder, your strength like a torrential mountain flood, slamming Lin heavily to the ground.
"Let’s go!" Once again, you carried the screaming handso man and ran towards the River Zimu.
Lin was not knocked out by you; he staggered to his feet again, but by this ti, you and the handso man were already standing in front of the tumultuous River Zimu.
"Damn it, we’re done for." You set the handso man down, looking anxious, "Hey, buddy, you’re not dead yet, are you?"
"Cough! I... I’m not dead yet..." The handso man’s face was deathly pale, and his breath was extrely weak.
"I’m going to kill you, kill you!" the crazed Lin bellowed, charging straight at the two of you.
At that mont, you and the handso man saw a fiery red light soaring into the sky not far away. A loud bird cry echoed through the night sky, and suddenly, a giant Fla Phoenix rose from behind Lin into the air. The Phoenix opened its giant beak, diving towards Lin. When Lin was less than ten ters away from you and the handso man, the Fla Phoenix engulfed him, and then turned into a pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky.
"Lin!" Luo Fei’er, with a grief-stricken face, ran out from the darkness and knelt down in the firelight, her clear eyes already brimming with tears.
"Little Xiu!"
Lei Nuoyi erged from the burning flas and ca to your side with an anxious expression.
"Older sister..." The one who spoke wasn’t you, but the handso man by your side.
Hearing the handso man address her like that, not only Lei Nuoyi but also you were taken aback. The handso man looked at Lei Nuoyi, who was swift as the wind and fierce as the fire, with a bitter smile on his face: "Older sister, I am Papaya."
"Papaya?" Hearing this word, Nuoyi trembled all over, she stared at the handso man in disbelief, then said with a trembling voice, "Could it be that you used the Soul Bridge?"
The handso man nodded with difficulty, and Lei Nuoyi let out a wail of grief, hastily pulling the handso man into her embrace: "Little Xiu, you must hold on, I’ll take you to see a priest right away!"
So, he was Lei Xiu!
"Older sister, there’s no need."
At this mont, Luo Fei’er also slowly stepped behind Lei Nuoyi.
Despite the sorrow in her heart, there was an even greater sense of relief. She was relieved that Lin hadn’t hard you; otherwise, her father Hu Bo’an would have been even more embarrassed. Although she had been away from her father since childhood, the affection he held for her after they recognized each other had surpassed the boundaries of a normal father’s love. She didn’t want to cause her father any distress. Furthermore, when she saw you, there was an indescribable, faint feeling in her heart.
"Older sister, pin this guy down, I’m about to reclaim my body now."
Lei Xiu gave an ugly smile, while at this mont, you felt as though you had fallen into an ice cellar. Your first reaction was to stand up and flee, but as soon as you stood up, Lei Nuoyi’s aura had locked you in completely. The powerful and sharp aura made you unable to move, and you could only stare with wide eyes at this "older sister" who was so affectionate with you just yesterday.
"Heh heh, Second Master... I’m really very... sorry, it has been tough on you during this ti..." Lei Xiu slowly extended his left hand while saying, "Hey, luckily this young master wore the ring on the left hand, otherwise... it would be a bit troubleso." After speaking, Lei Xiu slowly chanted a series of incantations.
"What are you guys doing?" Luo Fei’er looked at the three of them, puzzled.
No one answered; none of them had the mind to respond to her ignorant question.
You felt utterly despondent; it was crystal clear to you that once Lei Xiu snatched back his body, what followed would be the pronouncent of your death sentence. They would definitely not spread this matter around.
As for Luo Fei’er, the Nuoyi siblings surely had a way to make her keep quiet.
Yet Lei Nuoyi’s heart could not calm down for a long ti. For so reason, at this mont, her mind was incessantly flashing through the short ti she had spent with you.
Especially that one sentence: "Older sister, you’re truly beautiful when you smile."
"I can finally return." Accompanied by Lei Xiu’s long sigh, two dark figures switched places in an instant, and the next second, you were lying in Lei Nuoyi’s arms.
"Gah!"
An intense pain struck your head, and you couldn’t help but cough up blood.
"Ai..." Lei Nuoyi suddenly realized she didn’t even know your na.
"Whew! That was really close just now, I almost lost my life." Lei Xiu, having reclaid his body, cheerfully looked at you, "Second Master, if you have any last words before you die, this young master will surely fulfill them for you."
"Cough, cough cough!" You coughed up blood again, the corners of your mouth moved with a bitter smile, "What else can I say, from beginning to end, I’ve been toyed around with like a plaything by you all, cough... damn, truly resentful!"
