The leader signaled his companions to surround Qiao Jing.
Seeing them closing in, eager to act, Qiao Jing struck decisively, engaging in a fierce fight.
After a few moves, Qiao Jing realized these people weren’t ordinary thugs but agile combatants!
Clearly, they were here with a preditated intention, targeting her specifically!
This made Qiao Jing recall a night in the capital when she was followed after leaving the research institute.
Back then, she and Lin Xiuxiang ditched those tailing them by using a haunted house.
If she’s not mistaken, these people and those before are likely orchestrated by the sa mastermind!
Thinking of this, Qiao Jing decided to cut through the chaos with a swift victory.
In a flash, she took down three of them.
"Ah—"
Screams echoed abruptly.
However, these n weren’t pushovers; the three who fell quickly struggled back up to block her again.
Qiao Jing was relieved her body had fully recovered.
Had she been in her previous exhausted state, she would have been dood tonight!
As thoughts spun in her mind, Qiao Jing launched herself into the air, delivering a spinning kick that knocked down five heads at once!
This ti, the five collapsed and lost consciousness imdiately, without a chance to scream.
Creating a gap in the encirclent, Qiao Jing didn’t want to linger; she planned to leave quickly, shaking them off.
Unexpectedly, the remaining ones pulled out electric batons, charging at her nacingly.
"Get her, surround her, don’t let her escape!"
The leader commanded while viciously striking at Qiao Jing with a baton.
Seeing this, Qiao Jing knew she couldn’t confront them head-on and quickly dodged.
Quick as she was, there were many opponents, dodging one only to face another.
In the chaos, she failed to evade and got grazed by an electric baton on her shoulder.
Instantly, a numbing electric sensation hit, making her shoulder numb, her muscles and nerves stimulated, her consciousness hazy, her movents sluggish.
The series of reactions startled Qiao Jing.
Just a light graze caused such a dire situation; a direct hit would be unimaginable!
Now, it wasn’t about fighting anymore; in her current state, escape was her only option!
Qiao Jing gritted her teeth, enduring the numbness, fending off attacks while seeking a chance to flee.
During the fight, suddenly, an opponent accidentally tore off her fake skin from her face.
Their original intent was to grab her hair to capture her.
But she dodged, the hand scraped past her face, mistakenly ripping off the fake skin.
With the fake skin gone, Qiao Jing’s true face was exposed to their view.
Montarily, the thugs with batons were stunned.
One by one, they stared blankly at Qiao Jing’s exquisitely beautiful face.
Qiao Jing couldn’t care less; taking advantage of their daze, she quickly fled, sprinting towards the alley’s exit.
Only then did the thugs snap out of it, exclaiming in astonishnt.
"This woman is stunning! So beautiful it’s deadly!"
"It’s my first ti seeing such a beautiful woman!"
"Isn’t this what they call drop-dead gorgeous, outshining the moon and flowers?"
Seeing the target vanish from sight, the leader recalled their mission and angrily scolded: "Stop blabbering! She got away! Hurry and chase her!"
With that, the leader took the lead in pursuit.
The others glanced at each other and hurriedly gave chase.
Qiao Jing fled desperately in front, the thugs relentlessly pursued behind...
anwhile, Xu Moqian and the other two ca out of the bar.
Xu Moqian and Lu Zijiao, arms around each other, looked like best buds but were actually arguing, neither yielding.
"You Lu, now... now you see? My drinking capacity... is way better than yours! Your... your weak skills, still... dare to challenge , such nerve!"
"Bah! Look... look at the state of you, drunk like a ghost, still bragging about your drinking, if I weren’t supporting you, you’d be flat out on the ground!"
"Nonsense! It’s supporting you, are you blind?"
"You’re the blind one; if you have guts, don’t lean on !"
"..."
Lu Zijin followed Xu Moqian and Lu Zijiao, not as drunk as them but sowhat tipsy.
After walking a while, he vaguely heard shouting ahead.
"Stop!"
"Stand still!"
"You can’t escape!"
Lu Zijin instinctively wanted to look up, but suddenly he was bumped by a figure coming directly at him.
Qiao Jing, focused on running, hadn’t expected soone in the middle of the road, and unable to stop quickly enough, she collided with him.
"Sorry, I didn’t an to; are you alright?"
While apologizing, Qiao Jing looked up, realizing she had bumped into Lu Zijin!
And Xu Moqian and Lu Zijiao were there too!
Seeing those thugs closing in, Qiao Jing decided not to involve them, pretending not to know them.
She quickly looked away from Lu Zijin and the others, turning her steps briskly to flee.
"Stop!"
The thugs continued their relentless pursuit.
After they passed by, Lu Zijin suddenly realized sothing, rubbed his eyes, and turned to see the fleeing slender figure.
Just then, that face seed like... Qiao Jing?!
Lu Zijin shook his slightly dizzy head, recalling ticulously.
Though confused, that face really looked like hers!!
"Qiao Jing!"
Lu Zijin called out in the direction she left, about to give chase.
Hearing him, Xu Moqian and Lu Zijiao looked at him.
Lu Zijiao grabbed him and asked casually: "Bro, did you see Third Miss Qiao? Where is she? I didn’t see her."
Lu Zijin shook his head, anxiously explaining, "No! Not Third Miss Qiao! I ant Qiao Jing!"
"Oh, you an Sister Jing."
Xu Moqian chid in automatically.
Lu Zijin had no ti for more words, breaking free from Lu Zijiao and started to pursue.
Xu Moqian, realizing as soon as he spoke, sobered up a bit despite the drunkenness.
Rembering Lu Zijin’s expression earlier, he shouted and followed suit, "Sister Jing!"
Seeing them both running, Lu Zijiao was dumbfounded but got clearer-headed.
He hurriedly followed while muttering, "No way? Really? Is Qiao Jing truly in this ancient city?"
