Xiao Jin looked up at Teacher Feng, a rare hint of provocative smile appearing in her eyes.
"So what if I am? Are you going to kill me?"
Ms. Feng was furious. This outsider not only set fire to the building, but also dared to break into her home and cause trouble.
And now, she stands there looking completely unconcerned.
"Aaaaaah! Die!"
A piercing scream echoed in the narrow space, vibrating Xiao Jin's eardrums.
Teacher Feng's face was contorted, her eyes wide open, and her mouth gaping open, revealing a black hole within. The black hole grew larger and larger, as if the other party wanted to bite off Xiao Jin's head.
Xiao Jin didn't give her that chance; she leaned back and quickly distanced herself from Teacher Feng.
When her first attack failed, she lunged at Xiao Jin with all her might, her hands transforming into sharp claws, carrying a resolute killing intent, and the next second she crashed directly into the blade of the Broken Shadow.
Xiao Jin's eyes flashed with a cold light as she swiftly twisted her wrist. With a whoosh, the long sword sliced through the air, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, and accurately severed half of Teacher Feng's hand.
Blood gushed out, staining the wall red, and the other person screamed in pain.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jin appeared behind Teacher Feng like a ghost and slammed him against the wall with a knee kick.
A dull thud was accompanied by the cracking sound of the wall splitting open.
Xiao Jin didn't hold back with this kick; a large hole instantly appeared in the wall, dust flew up, and stone bricks cracked.
Ms. Feng's body caved in like a rag doll, then slid down limply to the ground, where she was buried by a large number of stones.
With the blade pointing downwards, Xiao Jin slowly approached.
But the next second she raised an eyebrow, because there was no sign of Teacher Feng in the wall.
Besides the eerie bloody handprints that kept extending from the walls, the people who were originally hidden under the ruins had disappeared.
Xiao Jin wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she observed the trajectory of the bloody handprint, waiting for it to reach a certain point...
Right now...
Xiao Jin weighed the broken shadow in his hand, then hurled it forcefully with his sword.
'Pfft!'
With a bloodcurdling scream, the sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, and then it could be seen that half of the Shadow Blade was embedded in the wall, while the other half was shaking wildly outside.
It's not over yet.
Xiao Jin gripped the Shadow Thorn tightly in her backhand, and in just a few steps, her figure transformed into a blur, rushing forward with incredible speed.
With his eyes fixed on the location he had anticipated, Xiao Jin thrust forward without hesitation. If all went well, the tip of the Shadow Dagger would surely pierce his opponent's head.
However, Lady Luck wasn't always on Xiao Jin's side.
A sharp and piercing sound rang out.
With this sudden and immense force, the longsword was as if it were being violently pulled by an invisible hand, its blade bending violently like a bow stretched to its limit.
Immediately afterwards, this power seemed to have been exhausted. After the shattered shadows shook violently, they finally calmed down, and the blade itself came to a standstill.
Xiao Jin used one hand to forcefully pull the knife out of the hard wall, but failed to feel any resistance or warm touch as he wished.
As expected, the Shadow Assassin's attack ultimately failed.
As Xiao Jin turned to the side, he saw a blood-soaked arm piercing through the blade of the shattered shadow.
Blood, like a broken red ribbon, gushed from the broken neck and shoulder, meandering down the wall, with familiar fragments of a red sweater still hanging on it.
Xiao Jin examined the wound closely; it was clearly torn off forcefully.
"To cut off the tail and survive..." Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow.
She was willing to tear off her own arm to escape, which shows that she has a keen sense of danger.
never mind!
Xiao Jin sheathed the knife, turned around, and went upstairs.
Anyway, she has already achieved her goal, so killing her is fine too.
………………
Going upstairs, Xiao Jin didn't go to the next room, but instead planned to return to her own room.
When she left earlier, Cui Mingyang and the others had already gone back, and at this time, they were probably having dinner with the NPCs.
She stood in front of the door and knocked, and then heard approaching footsteps.
The sound stopped behind the door, but the other person didn't open it immediately. Xiao Jin figured he was probably looking through the peephole to observe his surroundings.
This strange behavior made Xiao Jin's heart sink.
She immediately realized that something must have happened while she was away!
The door was then opened, revealing Xu Qing, whose face looked grim.
Xiao Jin didn't ask any more questions, but went inside first.
Once inside, she found everyone sitting on the sofa, including Xiaomei and Xiaoyu, but Xiaoshuai, the most timid of them all, was nowhere to be seen.
"You're back!" Tong Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've been gone for so long, I thought something had happened to you!"
Xiao Jin sat on the sofa, took the water glass handed to her by Xu Qing, and said in a calm tone: "It's okay, it's a minor problem, it's been resolved."
Everyone: "..." So something still happened, right?
"What's going on here?" Xiao Jin asked, looking up.
Logically speaking, since Teacher Feng was entangled with him on the third floor, he wouldn't have had time to come down and cause trouble for the players.
As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, she noticed that everyone was looking towards the bedroom.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin slowly stood up and strode towards the bedroom, and no one else tried to stop her.
When Xiao Jin reached the bedroom door, she found that the door to Xiao Shuai and Luo Bin's room was wide open, and inside, a figure was sitting upright on the bed.
Seemingly sensing Xiao Jin's arrival, Xiao Shuai turned his neck.
When Xiao Jin saw his face, she finally understood why Xu Qing and the others outside looked like that.
Xiao Shuai's eyes were vacant, and a perfect smile curved his lips. A blood-red line was clearly visible on his neck.
Xiao Jin could clearly see that the red line seemed to have a life of its own, tightly cutting into Xiao Shuai's skin.
Within the area enclosed by the red line, not a single drop of blood flowed. Beneath his skin, bright red buds throbbed gently with each of his faint breaths, adding an eerie touch to Xiao Shuai's already pale face.
“You’re back!” he uttered each word clearly, his face maintaining the same expression throughout.
"Hmm." Seeing this, Xiao Jin's expression didn't change at all. She gave a casual reply and went back.
When she returned to the living room, she looked at Xiaoyu and the other person.
They sat huddled together in a corner, their faces filled with terror.
