Chapter 906: Belated Cause and Effect (Part 2)
The familiar cold pine scent was like a gentle big hand, tightly surrounding her.
When Ruan Qi smelled this scent, her nose suddenly felt sore and she almost shed tears.
A sigh suddenly sounded above my head.
"Why are you crying?"
The man lifted the girl's chin with his slender fingers. He looked at her face carefully, with heartache in his eyes.
The little girl's face was dirty, with bruises at the corners of her eyes and mouth, and a large bloodstain on her cheek.
This miserable appearance made the man tremble in his heart.
He gently held her bloody face with his hands and asked softly, "Baby, does it hurt?"
Ruan Qi's eyes were red and she shook her head blankly.
"It doesn't hurt. It's not my blood."
She hadn't seen Xi Jiu in person for half a month.
Although she had been awake for half a month, she never opened her eyes in order to deceive her family.
She just lay awake in bed, listening to Xi Jiu's every word, every sigh, and every prayer.
He kept praying for her to wake up.
Listening to the man's hoarse and sad pleading, Ruan Qi couldn't hold it in for several times and almost opened her eyes.
However, in order to be able to stay with her family and loved ones for a long time, and in order to completely deceive Xu Qingya and Jiang Chunian, she still endured it cruelly.
She kept telling herself in her heart that it would be over soon, just bear with it a little longer, as long as she could break Jiang Chunian's hypnosis, she would be able to be with Xi Jiu safely.
With this expectation, Ruan Qi was in a coma for a full half month.
Until now - she could finally open her eyes and trace Xi Jiu's face with her gaze.
He has lost too much weight.
In just over ten days, the once cold and dignified head of the Xi family became so haggard that he seemed unrecognizable.
Ruan Qi's heart trembled. She really wanted to reach out and hug Xi Jiu and kiss him, but now was not the time.
"Jiujiu, you..."
A deafening roar suddenly exploded, interrupting Ruan Qi's unfinished words.
Then, a familiar and reassuring voice reached her ears amid the roar.
"You guys can talk again when you get back. Xi family boy, come here and kill someone!"
It’s Master!
Ruan Qi's eyes lit up, and his gaze passed through the dust and fell on the figure in red.
"Master, why are you here?!"
Nie Beilou didn't look back. He swung his long and powerful hand and slapped Jiang Chunian away.
"Why can't I come?" He said as he beat her, "We'll settle the score later on what you've hidden from everyone. Now come over and kill someone!"
After saying that, a white jade bottle flew into the air.
Ruan Qi caught it quickly, opened the jade bottle, poured out the pills inside, and swallowed it without thinking.
In an instant, the blood vessels that were as empty as an endless abyss were quickly filled with internal energy, and the pale face also regained color.
Ruan Qi helped Xi Jiu stand up from the ground.
"Can you still hold on?" Xi Jiu asked her.
Ruan Qi nodded with sparkling eyes: "We can still fight for ten more rounds! Jiujiu, let's go help Master!"
…
The addition of Nie Beilou and Xi Jiu quickly reversed the situation on the field.
Both of them are top masters of ancient martial arts at the grandmaster level. Together with Ruan Qi, who is also a grandmaster, the three of them can beat Jiang Chunian. Even if Jiang Chunian has a body of steel, he is no match for them.
What's more, he had been blinded by Ruan Qi and had his vital points stabbed, causing his vitality to drain rapidly.
Nie Beilou and Xi Jiu attacked Jiang Chunian from both sides.
Jiang Chunian soon became a spent force.
At this moment, Ruan Qi, who had recovered to his peak condition, suddenly jumped up.
"Master, Jiujiu, get out of the way!"
She let out a delicate cry and appeared behind Jiang Chunian like lightning.
Jiang Chunian thought she was going to attack and immediately took a defensive stance.
However, to his surprise, Ruan Qi did not attack him, but instead——
Crash——!
The pungent liquid came towards him and splashed all over Jiang Chunian.
When Jiang Chunian smelled a familiar scent, he felt a sudden chill on his back and turned around to run away.
But how could Ruan Qi let him go?
She increased her speed to the extreme, and at the moment when she was about to catch up with Jiang Chunian, a ball of fire flew out from her hand.
——It turned out to be a lighter!
The lighter was blazing with flames. The flames were small, but in Jiang Chunian's eyes, they were the most deadly weapons.
He ran forward desperately, but the flames were faster than him.
The faint flames cut through the thick darkness of the night, and the silver lighter hit him lightly with a 'bang'.
In an instant, there was a loud bang.
A raging fire exploded all over Jiang Chunian's body.
What Ruan Qi poured on him just now was actually gasoline!
The fire was raging, and the dancing fire snake swallowed Jiang Chunian whole in the blink of an eye.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Fire! Fire!!!”
Jiang Chunian screamed in the raging fire, his limbs twisted like a madman, struggling to save himself.
However, a fire ignited by gasoline is not so easy to extinguish.
Just like the fire in the "garbage dump" ten years ago, it could not be put out, even if Ruan Qi cried until she dried her tears, she could not extinguish the merciless flames. Only by burning all life could it end.
Jiang Chunian's screams became more and more shrill.
Ruan Qi stood not far away, looking at the scorching flames, and in a trance it seemed as if he had returned to ten years ago.
It was the same night, the same empty space, the same shrill screams and lives about to burn to the end.
The difference is that what burned out that night ten years ago was hope.
And now, what is about to burn out is the source of sin.
The fire burned mercilessly, and Jiang Chunian's screams gradually weakened.
So what if I have abnormal physical strength?
In the merciless flames, he was still like those children back then, unable to struggle.
Ruan Qi stared at him intently, and even though Jiang Chunian had been burned beyond recognition, she did not look away.
She stared intently, as if she was watching this belated consequence on behalf of the children who had been burned to death ten years ago.
Gradually, Jiang Chunian, who was in the fire, became silent.
His abnormal physical strength once brought him countless advantages, but now, his high-strength body will delay his death.
The slower you die, the longer you burn and the more torture you suffer.
Jiang Chunian lay in the fire with his limbs twisted. He was too weak to struggle and could only watch the flames devour him bit by bit.
"Ruan Qi..."
Suddenly, he spoke, and his vocal cords, burned by the heat and smoke, emitted a tone that was not human.
"Do you think... you can win by killing me..."
The monster in the blazing fire laughed strangely, its voice twisted and torn with malice. "Without me... and Xu Qingya and... that organization... they... they had already prepared... a great gift... You... can't defeat them... You can't defeat them!!!"
The monster's distorted roar pierced through the flames, encircling Ruan Qi like a pair of entangled devil's claws.
Ruan Qi was no longer affected by him and said calmly, "If I took ten years to kill you, I can naturally kill them too. Jiang Chunian, I have never been a fragile work of art. I am a knife. Whoever hurts me and the people I love, I will stab them. And you are the first soul to die under this knife."
There is still a little bit left to go for the third update, I will finish it soon.
