Chapter 1578 - 1473: Biting One’s Tongue to End It All

Similar to Lei Xiuzhu, Huang Cuicui was also utterly shocked, her swollen face perfectly displaying the meaning of "dumbfounded."

Her jaws couldn’t close, and she continuously gasped for breath.

This Chu Xi... why is he so awesome?

Not only did he handle two opponents at once, but he also floored both demons?

Not long ago, Huang Cuicui had suffered their beatings and humiliation, loathing them to the bone, yet she was also extremely afraid of them.

Now, Chu Xi could actually beat up the demons; no wonder Huang Cuicui was flabbergasted.

"Ah... it hurts!"

Ma Ji groaned, turned over on the ground, and accidentally bumped into Luo Yong’s chest nearby.

"Ah..." Luo Yong also let out a harsh cry, awakening from the pain.

He looked at Ma Ji in a daze, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and said, "Senior Brother Ma..."

However, halfway through his words, he saw something on the ground not far away and was stunned.

Ma Ji followed his gaze and was also struck dumb.

Why were Refining Dragon Child and Niu Er down?

Why was Chu Xi standing in front of them?

Could it be...

Both suddenly realized, exchanged a glance, with deep disbelief in their eyes.

Damn! Can even a fool become a hero?

Surely, a miracle has occurred!

...

On the battlefield.

The fallen Refining Dragon Child and Niu Er looked at Qin Hao with utter terror.

Even though their battle lasted less than two minutes.

But much was revealed during that short time.

For instance, through speed and strength aspects, they concluded that Qin Hao’s martial arts were unfathomable.

The key point was, the opponent had harmed them seemingly effortlessly.

And they could not even discern Qin Hao’s full strength.

In other words, perhaps Qin Hao hadn’t even used his full power!

If he were to use all his power, how strong would he be then?

Thinking of this, Refining Dragon Child and Niu Er couldn’t help but tremble all over.

They no longer had the will to fight and only thought about how to escape.

As members of the infamous Evil Sect, Refining Dragon Child and Niu Er were able to survive until now not by bravery alone.

For them, running away when overpowered is normal.

If they weren’t cautious, they wouldn’t have lasted till now.

"Shall we go?"

In the midst of the crisis, the two exchanged a glance and started communicating silently.

Refining Dragon Child blinked three times, giving his answer.

Niu Er received the message, looked at Qin Hao with terror, and shouted, "Don’t come any closer! We surrender!"

"Surrender?" Qin Hao showed a puzzled look, "Isn’t our fight not over yet? Why surrender already?"

They were utterly horrified, thinking to themselves about how twisted this setup was for continuing the fight.

"We’re done fighting! We surrender!"

Niu Er yelled loudly, "Our only request is that you don’t kill us! How about it?"

"Alright." Qin Hao said with a smile as he walked over, "You’re sensible, this saves me a lot of trouble."

"Give me your hands; I must personally bind you!"

As he spoke, he took out a rope, ready to tie up Niu Er’s hands.

Niu Er lifted his hands, putting them together, his once terrified face now bearing a sly smile.

Qin Hao furrowed his brows and quickly backed away a few steps.

Bang!

A pink cloud of smoke exploded from Niu Er’s palm.

Instantly, the smoke spread in all directions, engulfing the entire room.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

In the smoke, coughing sounds from Lei Xiuzhu and others echoed.

Choked by the smoke, Lei Xiuzhu felt bewildered as a figure rushed over, grabbed her hair, and dragged her towards the door.

Pain surged through her, and as Lei Xiuzhu faintly saw two menacing figures with twisted faces, one of them holding her turned out to be Refining Dragon Child!

They were planning to escape!

Lei Xiuzhu came to her senses, her face full of panic as she opened her mouth, but Refining Dragon Child merely sneered spitefully through the pain, using his other hand to press a handkerchief over her mouth.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!"

Lei Xiuzhu couldn’t make a sound, only able to widen her eyes in despair.

These two scoundrels, even at this moment, wanted to take me with them.

Just how much do they hate me!

Am I really going to fall into the hands of these villains!

Chu Xi! Please come save me!

Once again, tears welled up in Lei Xiuzhu’s eyes, desperately yearning in her heart.

Alas.

This time, it seemed that no miracle would descend again.

Still clutching Lei Xiuzhu, Refining Dragon Child and Niu Er navigated through the smoke.

Feeling a bit dizzy, Lei Xiuzhu snapped open her eyes upon sensing a cold breeze, realizing they had reached the courtyard outside!

"We’re out? What about Chu Xi? Didn’t Chu Xi come out?"

Understanding the situation, Lei Xiuzhu felt completely hopeless.

Dragging Lei Xiuzhu along, Refining Dragon Child ran quickly forward, coughing incessantly as he went.

Upon exiting the mansion and reaching outside the City Lord’s Mansion, Refining Dragon Child wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, cursing, "Today I’ve been seriously injured! Why does that ugly brute hit so hard!"

Beside him, Niu Er clutched his chest, crying out in pain, "I feel like my chest is collapsing. That punch carried the Dark Force; now I’ve suffered severe internal injuries, and unless I recuperate for a few months, I won’t fully recover!"

"That son of a bitch, that ugly brute, we’ll have our revenge if we get the chance later!"

Refining Dragon Child’s face was cold, planning to remember this grudge first. He had no intention of forgetting it.

Then, he looked down at Lei Xiuzhu on the ground, a smirk of satisfaction appeared on his cold face, "Though we’ve been injured, this trip wasn’t for nothing. Capturing this woman, when we present her to Master, how might he reward me?"

"Hehe, Master Shan Xu and that Lei Dingtian are sworn enemies. Now the master can offer Lei Dingtian’s daughter as a gift, with Master’s temperament, there’s a chance he might appoint you as a full Elder!"

"An Elder..." Refining Dragon Child’s eyes lit up slightly, feeling a bit excited inside.

Though he was quite renowned, he was still only a disciple status-wise. Becoming an Elder would indeed be a meteoric rise.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm..." Lei Xiuzhu’s muffled cries interrupted their thoughts.

Refining Dragon Child glared at Lei Xiuzhu in hatred, cursing, "Bitch, I’m in no mood. Keep quiet and stop thinking about escape! Otherwise! I won’t be gentle!"

After cursing, he roughly grabbed Lei Xiuzhu by the back of the neck, speaking seriously, "That fool might chase us. Now that we’ve completed our mission, we should quickly leave this godforsaken place and regroup with the Master!"

"Understood!" Niu Er nodded, taking the lead, with Refining Dragon Child following behind.

Soon, they reached within the city walls.

Seeing the towering, vast city walls, Lei Xiuzhu’s heart sank completely.

She knew that if they left Kang City, her life would become unimaginably bleak.

All glory and honor would disappear.

At this moment, Lei Xiuzhu had no choice but to close her eyes, biting down on her tongue.

She tried to end her own life by biting her tongue.
