Li Zong's eyes widened slightly, and for a moment, he was speechless. He still remembered the conversation he had with Qiao He when they got into the car together.
Li Zong knew that he was never their partner or a reliable and powerful teammate. They only had a common enemy, nothing more. They used his special ability to find Ye Hong, while Li Zong hoped that Qiao He and Bo Shiwu could avenge his mother!
If Li Zong couldn't see Ye Hong die, he would never have a good life. His mother had clearly died so tragically, just to protect him, yet Ye Hong killed her so easily.
Li Zong will never forgive this man!
He must die! He absolutely must die!
Li Zong lay on Shen Huai's back, unable to walk any further. Perhaps because of the ice covering him, even his breathing was cold, as if his internal organs were slowly, slowly growing cold.
Every breath felt like ice shards traveling through my trachea—painful, cold, and excruciating.
But Li Zong gritted his teeth and persevered; he couldn't afford to collapse here!
At that very moment, Li Zong activated his supernatural ability; he wanted to see where Ye Hong was.
He absolutely could not wait until he was unconscious to regret not having located Ye Hong while he was still conscious.
Now is the perfect time; if we don't use it now... we might not be able to use it at all.
A few seconds later, Li Zong opened his bloodshot eyes and struggled to say, "Qiao He, Qiao He... Ye Hong is... below the ice... We're very close to them now. If you can hurry, just a little faster, we won't lose them..."
After saying this, Li Zong either fainted or something else, and refused to say another word.
Qiao Hua immediately stepped forward to treat Li Zong, but it was of little use. Because Li Zong had overused his superpower, his body had begun to experience organ failure. Even if Qiao Hua used all her treatment on him, it was to no avail.
Qiao He's face remained gloomy; she was deeply troubled. She had told him not to use it, yet he still did. Was Li Zong really going to die here?
This place is too cold. He can't die here. He'd rather die outside than in some weird iceberg.
Just then, a cold gaze suddenly appeared, as if a force surging from the shadows was flying straight towards Qiao He's head!
With a soft "pfft!"
Qiao He felt something splash on her face. When she came to her senses, she found that Li Zong had somehow managed to get off Shen Huai's shoulder and was now standing firmly in front of her.
A sharp throwing knife pierced Li Zong's heart.
Blood gushed out as if it had gone mad.
Qiao He's eyes were reddened. She grabbed Li Zong's arm, but she didn't expect that he had lost all his strength.
Li Zong knelt on the ground, his face deathly pale. He looked at Qiao He, smiled, and said, "That's great... In the end... I was able to save you... That's great..."
After saying this, Li Zong knelt on the ice and fell silent.
Someone is attacking them in secret!
Qiao He's pupils contracted sharply, and she immediately chose to revert to a previous save and restart.
If someone is dead, what's the point of keeping them alive if we don't revert the save file?
What Qiao He didn't expect was that although the rollback was successful and the attack from the shadows was avoided, Li Zong still died due to the severe damage to his body.
Qiao He's face was extremely grim. So, no matter what, was Li Zong's fate only death?
No wonder Qiao He's danger premonition didn't activate; it was Li Zong who shielded her from the most serious injury.
Qiao He didn't revert to the previous save file because she knew it was pointless.
Li Zong's death was an inevitable outcome.
Even without an attack from the shadows, Li Zong would have died completely due to his physical condition.
Qiao Hua's healing ability couldn't cure him either; it was heart failure. Even if Qiao Hua kept treating Li Zong, it was still a drop in the ocean. His heart withered too quickly, almost in an instant.
No wonder... Li Zong told them not to take him with them anymore and to just leave him here, which is fine.
Qiao He clenched her fist slightly as she stored Li Zong's corpse inside the Blood Jade Space.
At least, it will allow him to go back.
Don't stay in this place where there's nothing and it's incredibly cold.
At least, after leaving here, Qiao He can take him to see his mother and bury him with her.
Qiao He's eyes turned cold, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the corner of the cave.
But the moment she walked over, Qiao He was completely stunned.
The person who attacked her...
She looks exactly like her, it's like looking in a mirror!
Upon seeing Qiao He, the attacker realized the ambush had failed and quickly disappeared into the nearby ice and snow, vanishing in an instant like a fish entering water.
Qiao He subconsciously looked at the ice layer, but there was nothing there, as if everything she had just seen was an illusion.
Qiao He was stunned. She turned back to look for Bo Shiwu and the others, but when she ran back, she found that the place where they had been was completely empty!
Everyone has disappeared?!
How is that possible!
Qiao He's eyes trembled violently. She couldn't believe her eyes. How could they all have disappeared in the blink of an eye?!
Am I hallucinating?
Qiao He's breathing became heavy. She tried to stay calm and slowly walked towards where everyone had been before.
But the further they went, the more a chill ran down their spine. It was a feeling that made them feel cold involuntarily, as if... the entire ice layer was filled with that monster that looked exactly like them.
It's definitely impossible to say it's a person.
Qiao He even considered the possibility that it was a clone of her created by Bing Shan.
But she quickly rejected it.
Human clones?
It's most likely some kind of superpower. This iceberg probably possesses a huge piece of dark blue substance. Once it has this, it will rapidly mutate and gain abilities even stronger than those of normal superpowered individuals!
Now, the ability to create a replica of her is probably the power of icebergs.
Qiao He took a deep breath and told herself not to rush and not to lose her composure.
Li Zong is dead.
They absolutely cannot fall here.
Because Li Zong still had unfulfilled wishes, and Ye Hong was still alive!
How could Li Zong possibly close his eyes and leave peacefully?
Qiao He silently told herself not to continue overthinking. She resolutely moved forward, unafraid even if she encountered someone like herself.
Just as Qiao He took her first step forward, the fake Qiao He's figure reappeared on the ice beneath her feet!
Appeared!
