Seeing Zhou Jin's blade getting closer and closer to Zhou Changling's neck, and that blood would splatter on the spot in the next second, Bai Lingxi tightly closed her eyes, unable to bear to look.
...
After a while, instead of hearing the sound of a knife slicing through skin, Bai Lingxi heard the sound of dozens of arrows whistling through the air.
Bai Lingxi opened her eyes and saw that Zhou Jin's back was riddled with bullet holes!
A dense barrage of arrows pierced his body, and he instantly fell to the ground, lying there like a stray dog, his sword becoming his crutch!
"Zhou Jin!"
Bai Lingxi was devastated. She ran up the slope, but even though it was so close, she couldn't reach the top.
Bai Lingxi felt that this road was so long, so long that she felt she could never reach it, never be able to reach Zhou Jin's side.
Bai Lingxi tripped and fell several times in a row. Her clothes, which were originally clean, were covered in dirt, and the hairpins and ornaments on her head fell off, but she didn't care.
"Xi'er!" Zhou Changling stepped forward to help her, but Bai Lingxi pushed him away.
People can unleash tremendous potential when they are in despair. Bai Lingxi, who usually can't even lift her jade pillow, now has the strength to push Zhou Changling so hard that he stumbles!
Bai Lingxi finally crawled to Zhou Jin's side. He was covered in wounds and barely had time to breathe. When he saw Bai Lingxi coming over, he gave her one last poignant smile.
"Xi'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you."
Zhou Jin wanted to raise his hand to touch Bai Lingxi's cheek, but he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.
Bai Lingxi cried out, "Waaah—" large, hot tears falling onto Zhou Jin's hand.
She held Zhou Jin's hand and stroked it against her cheek, her eyes filled with despair: "Waaah, Zhou Jin, please don't die! Waaah, I was wrong, I'll go with you now, let's leave, okay..."
Zhou Jin smiled, a faint joy in her voice, and slowly uttered a single word, "Good."
Zhou Jin's eyes were almost closed, but he stubbornly kept them open, wanting to meticulously depict Bai Lingxi's eyebrows and eyes, wanting to deeply engrave her appearance in his heart.
The next moment, his hand slammed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
...
"Zhou Jin!"
"Ah—" Watching her beloved breathe his last right before her eyes, Bai Lingxi was heartbroken and let out a long, mournful cry that was almost heroic!
"Zhou Jin, don't die, open your eyes and look at me... look at me..."
Bai Lingxi felt as if the whole world had collapsed, and darkness filled the air. She couldn't escape or run away; the world spun around her, and everything vanished into nothingness.
"ah--"
The next moment, Bai Lingxi suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, and then suddenly fainted and lost consciousness.
