Chapter 89: Midnight Assassin (Part 2)

  PS: Sanjiang is at the bottom again, wooo... Am I a tragic male protagonist? Two updates today, and three more tomorrow. Hope everyone will support me, I'm going to cry myself to sleep, goodnight! ... 'Whoosh~ zzz...'

  The four wheels drew out four black arcs on the ground and stopped steadily when they were less than half a meter away from the wall.

  "Come with me!"

  Qing Qing Jian burst out of the car door, and Lin Xiao followed closely behind. The two didn't care about the surprised gazes of the pedestrians in the surrounding square, and they sprinted straight into the woods on the south side of Dongling Square.

  The forest is not large and was artificially built after the development of the city. Usually, residents in the city just walk around the forest, but few people enter it.

  There were no trails in the forest, and Qing Qing led the way, with Lin Xiao closely following her, only a body's distance behind.

  Whoosh!

  The long sword was unsheathed, and this was the first time Lin Xiao had seen Yan Qingqing use a weapon. Her weapon was a treasured sword over three feet in length, with a white jade scabbard and hilt, adorned with intricate patterns. As the sword was unsheathed, its snowy light reflected the moonlight in the sky, flashing with a piercing cold glow.

  The sword swung in a familiar arc, cutting down branches and weeds that blocked their path as the two figures sped forward without slowing.

  "Do you know where it is?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask, shouting at Qingqing's back as he saw her seemingly purposeful appearance.

  "I have this alarm device with me, and as long as I get within five kilometers of the alarm device that sent the signal, it will tell me the exact location of the alarm device that sent the signal." Qingqing waved her hand to gesture to the black alarm device in her hand.

  Lin Xiao didn't have time to think about how the alarm device worked, because the two of them had already rushed out of the dense forest and appeared in a clearing that was utterly devastated.

  The ground was littered with felled trees, the earth turned over in a layer, and several human figures lay on the ground. By the light of the moon, Lin Xiao saw a flash of crimson color under those figures.

  That's blood, and it's still fresh!

  "Good elder brother!"

  A figure in green rushed up and knelt down beside one of the silhouettes, shouting loudly without noticing the bloodstains on the ground.

  Lin Xiao also hurried over, although the battle here seemed to have ended, but that didn't mean it was really safe. Yan Qingqing had helped him after all, he couldn't let her get into trouble in front of him.

  "How is it? Is there any hope?" Lin Xiao had already checked the other five who were lying on the ground, those five guys were out of luck and were already dead.

  Qing Qing lifted her head, and at this moment, her pretty face was covered with tears, crying like a tearful person.

  "Lin big brother, quickly save Liang Shixiong, he still has breath!"

  Lin Xiao quickly squatted down, put his hand on his neck, and indeed felt a weak pulse.

  "We have to rush him to the hospital for emergency treatment!" Lin Xiao didn't know any medical skills, and although Nian Li was angry, he could only help stop the bleeding from the wound that kept seeping out fresh blood. As for anything else, Lin Xiao was powerless.

  The other party was pierced by a sharp object in the chest, and it's already lucky to be alive now. In Lin Xiao's view, the person who did it must have left in a hurry, otherwise he would not have left him with a breath of air.

  "Good brother, don't die!" Qingqing cried out loud, obviously this good brother had a very close relationship with her, otherwise she wouldn't be so heartbroken.

  "Don't cry, hurry up and call an ambulance, I'll use my inner strength to hold on to his last breath, maybe there's still a chance!" Lin Xiao said loudly as he was about to take action, but just then, that good brother suddenly trembled with his eyelids and opened his eyes.

  "Is it Qingqing Shimei?" He struggled to recognize the person in front of him, and a look of urgency flashed across his blood-stained face.

  "Hurry, go and rescue Liu Shimei, she has been kidnapped by those demonic sect people!"

  As soon as he finished speaking his last word, his body stiffened and suddenly spat out a big mouthful of blood, swallowing his last breath.

  He's dead!

  He used his last breath to leave a sentence, perhaps if he didn't say it, he could have saved one more life. As a martial artist, he should be very clear about this point, but he still chose to do so.

  Lin Xiao frowned and stood aside, Yan Qingqing's whole body was stiffly hugging the opponent's gradually cold corpse, as if she had lost her soul.

  "Qing! Qing!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly at her, "Yan Qingqing!"

  She slowly turned her head and stared blankly at Lin Xiao.

  "Do you know who Liu Shi Mei is in your senior brother's mouth?" Lin Xiao asked loudly.

  "Liu Shī Mèi!" A strange light suddenly flashed in Qingqing's eyes, she suddenly lowered her head and quietly looked at the Liang Shī Xiōng who had lost his breath in her arms.

  "Good brother, I will definitely rescue Sister Liu and avenge you!"

  Lin Xiao's eyebrows rose, and at this moment, he could clearly feel the faint killing intent on Yan Qingqing's body. This killing intent was not intense, but it made people feel icy and bone-piercing, as if standing naked on a pinnacle of solid ice.

  Suddenly, Qing Qing gently put down Liang Shixiong's body and stood up.

  "Lin Ge, can you take me to track down those people from mid-air?" She quietly looked at Lin Xiao and said.

  The calmness of her words made Lin Xiao even more worried, he would rather see her cry bitterly, that way he wouldn't be too worried.

  "Alright, grab my hand!" Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and grasped Yan Qingqing's hand, his spiritual power bursting forth, instantly enveloping both of their bodies. A massive propulsive force immediately sent the two of them soaring into the sky.

  Lin Xiao's rising speed was extremely fast, and naturally, he didn't want to be seen by ordinary people. As long as the speed was fast enough, even if an ordinary person saw it, they would think it was just their own illusion. After all, it was late at night, and there weren't any high-rise buildings near Dongling Square. The dark sky was pitch black, so who could clearly see the silhouettes of two people?

  "I just saw the traces of that destroyed forest over there, those people should have gone in that direction." Lin Xiao said, pointing towards the north.

  "Thanks, Lin Ge." Qingqing's gaze was fixed tightly on the forest below that wasn't very large, and soon she discovered a man-made damaged path through the woods.

  "Then they walked away from there!"

  Lin Xiao nodded and immediately took Xian Qingqing to fly in that direction. When they arrived earlier, the blood of those corpses was still hot, and there was no sign of blood coagulation. It was clear that the enemy had left not long ago, or just now. At this time, it was highly likely that they could catch up with their opponent if they chased after them.

  In the sky, Lin Xiao and Yan Qingqing flew northward, their eyes fixed on the streets and buildings below.

  "There!" Lin Xiao suddenly discovered several black shadows quickly advancing above the building, and vaguely could see that the frontmost shadow was holding a person in its hand.

  "It must be someone from the Demon Gate!" Yan Qingqing's eyes burst forth with scorching hatred, and the intense resentment even caught the attention of the Demon Gate crowd thousands of meters below.

  Lin Xiao clearly saw that the opponent's speed had increased again, obviously having noticed the two pursuers.
