Yan Xiao infused the silver needle with supernatural energy. Combined with Yan Xiao's current physical condition, his strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. With this double enhancement, the silver needle pierced through Jiang Xinrui's left shoulder.
The moment the silver needles touched Jiang Xinrui's body, they injected the supernatural energy that Yan Xiao wanted to inject into Jiang Xinrui's body, and Yan Xiao was overjoyed to see this.
Fearing that things might get complicated if she waited too long, she didn't hesitate at all and decided to take Jiang Xinrui's life on the spot.
Yan Xiao originally thought that Jiang Xinrui would collapse and die right under her nose, but unexpectedly, something happened.
As the silver needle pierced her left shoulder, Jiang Xinrui paused slightly, her gaze involuntarily glancing at her left shoulder. The next moment, she spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Qi Chengfeng noticed Jiang Xinrui's unease and immediately reached out to pull her close, quickly leading her away while asking her in confusion:
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Xinrui didn't know what was wrong with her. She had just felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder, and before she could see what was happening, she felt as if something was gripping her heart and tightening it rapidly, as if it wanted to crush it.
At that moment, she felt her mind go completely blank, and she couldn't even breathe.
Just when she thought she was going to die of a broken heart, she involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood, and the feeling of her heart being squeezed suddenly disappeared.
When she came to her senses, she felt a chill of fear; her back was soaked with cold sweat.
Facing death so closely for the first time, she was unable to remain calm, so she did not answer Qi Chengfeng's question immediately.
It was a time of war and chaos, so Qi Chengfeng didn't wait for Jiang Xinrui's reply or ask any further questions. He just focused on leading his men out of the main hall.
As Yan Xiao watched Jiang Xinrui leave, he felt a chill run down his spine.
She had just felt that it was almost done, but at the last moment, something unexpected happened.
An invisible force severed her connection with that supernatural energy, causing her to fail at the most crucial moment.
Only someone with supernatural abilities superior to hers could do this, or someone like Shen Muzhi whose inner strength far surpasses her supernatural power.
Jiang Xinrui is clearly neither of these two types of people.
Even if someone is prepared but not prepared, it's impossible for Qi Chengfeng to immediately perceive the condition inside Jiang Xinrui's body and then instantly remove it for her.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean there's something in this world that she doesn't understand?
This reminded her of the time when Jiang Xinrui ran away before she could make a move. If it wasn't a coincidence, then it was terrifying.
She dares to come here personally to eliminate Jiang Xinrui because of her special ability. But if there is some mysterious force behind Jiang Xinrui that makes her special ability ineffective against her, how should she deal with it?
Moreover, she couldn't be sure whether the mysterious power only rendered her abilities ineffective against Jiang Xinrui, or whether it rendered her abilities ineffective against anyone.
If this happens to her every time it's a critical moment, what's the difference between that and having a knife hanging over her head?
At this moment, she is in the open while her opponent is in the dark. The most terrifying thing is that she doesn't even know who her opponent is, whether they exist, or what their purpose is.
Yan Xiao watched Jiang Xinrui's departing figure, her mind racing.
Regardless of who the other party is or what their purpose is in opposing her, at least one thing is certain: the other party wants to protect Jiang Xinrui. If that's the case, then Jiang Xinrui deserves to die even more.
Once Jiang Xinrui dies, the other party will either disappear or, in desperation, come out of nowhere. We can then figure out a way to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Yan Xiao's gaze toward Jiang Xinrui grew colder and colder, and she subconsciously took a step toward Jiang Xinrui.
As soon as she lifted her leg, her arm was grabbed.
Yan Xiao's eyes turned cold, and she instinctively wanted to resist, but as soon as she raised her hand, it was firmly grasped by a large hand, and at the same time, a familiar male voice sounded in her ear:
"It's me!"
Upon hearing the male voice, Yan Xiao paused slightly, a look of surprise appearing on her face.
She quickly turned her head and met a pair of deep black eyes.
Although the other person's appearance had changed drastically, the moment Yan Xiao met those dark eyes, she knew who the other person was.
Her pupils contracted, and before she could speak, she was pulled into the other person's arms. Then, under the cover of the others, she was quickly led away from the main hall.
As they retreated, a familiar voice came from above again:
"Don't be impulsive, let's go outside first and talk about it."
The scene was chaotic. Apart from a few people in Jiangbei City who knew the situation, no one paid attention to the two of them. Even if they did see them, they would just assume that the guards were protecting their own group.
Yan Xiao had calmed down a bit by now and realized that she had acted impulsively and that now was not the best time to make a move.
Even if she was willing to take the risk, this was Yanyun City after all, and Qi Chengfeng possessed profound inner strength, surpassing her supernatural abilities.
Without being able to use her superpowers to attack Jiang Xinrui secretly, her chances of succeeding are slim.
Even if the person beside her suddenly intervenes to help her restrain Qi Chengfeng and the others, once she kills Jiang Xinrui, it will be very difficult for them to escape unscathed.
After Yan Xiao understood, although she was unwilling, she immediately gave up the idea of taking action and obediently let someone take her away from the main hall.
As soon as they stepped out of the main hall, they were surrounded by guards from Yanyun City. Judging from their posture, they were clearly up to no good.
A cold glint flashed in Yan Xiao's eyes, knowing that today's matter was probably going to be a bit tricky.
She instinctively turned to look at the person next to her, only to see that the other person had a calm expression and looked confident.
As if sensing her gaze, the other person looked down at her, then gently patted her head and whispered soothingly:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Yan Xiao wanted to roll her eyes. She really wanted to ask the other person where they got the idea that she was scared. And who did she learn that dog-stroking gesture from?
But when she met the other party's reassuring gaze, she fell silent and awkwardly turned her head to look at the people from other factions.
