At the same time, Jiang Ruan instantly threw out a transparent protective net, which covered Zhang Dachun the moment he pulled out the lightning ring.
A muffled, loud bang echoed from within the protective netting, followed by thick, inky black smoke that filled the entire netting.
"Ah...what? He blew himself up?" Li Jie exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at the scene. He tried to get a closer look, but the smoke obscured everything, and he could only guess based on his imagination.
The same was true for the other people who were originally inside the gate. They felt as if the huge stone that had been pressing on their hearts had been lifted and shattered, and their bodies felt much lighter.
"Let's go see Xiao's mother. We'll leave things here to Anxia." Jiang Ruan said to Wan Mei and Anxia, who were standing on either side of her.
"Okay, I'll handle the aftermath. You guys go and take a look. I don't think her condition is very good. Anyway, you'll see when you see her."
An Xia's words seemed hesitant, and Jiang Ruan had never seen her like this before, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She quickly pulled Wanmei away.
Xiao Ran stood in front of his mother's room. He had been ill for several days and looked somewhat haggard, but his body looked remarkably robust.
"You've recovered!" Jiang Ruan asserted, confirming that he was fine.
As soon as she finished speaking, she put her hand on Xiao Ran's shoulder and used the healing energy to examine his body. She found no damage, and the original hidden wounds were all healed.
Jiang Ruan found it unbelievable. She couldn't help but think of a very bad possibility, so she quickly shook her head to get rid of the thought.
Unfortunately, Jiang's mother walked out crying, shattering her only hope.
"Ah Ruan, you've finally come!" Jiang's mother grabbed my hand, her face streaked with tears, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Xiao's mother... she's dying! Please go see her!"
Jiang Ruan was startled by this sudden news, and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She quickly followed Jiang's mother inside, and seeing the haggard, critically ill woman on the bed, tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
“Mother Xiao…” she called her name softly, as if hoping to awaken her dormant consciousness.
But she didn't react at all; she just lay there quietly, her breathing so faint it was almost imperceptible.
“Ah Ruan, Duan Yu and Du Nuo just said she doesn’t have much time left, and even Gu An thinks so. Please take a look, you have healing magic, maybe you can cure her…” Jiang’s mother said, choking back tears. “I don’t dare tell Xiao Ran the truth, I’m afraid he can’t bear it…”
Jiang Ruan clenched her fists, trying hard to suppress the sadness and anger in her heart.
Why is fate so cruel? Why must a kind person suffer such torment?
She recalled the wonderful times she spent with Xiao's mother, but those heartwarming scenes have now become a permanent pain in her heart.
"Mom, don't be sad, there might still be a glimmer of hope." Jiang Ruan comforted her mother, but she knew that this was just wishful thinking.
Because she couldn't sense any energy flow from Xiao's mother, and there was even a strong aura of death surrounding her.
“No, A-Ruan, we must face reality…” Jiang’s mother shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes again.
Jiang Ruan gritted her teeth, deciding to stop crying and instead face this cruel reality with strength.
She gently stroked Xiao's mother's hand, feeling her life force gradually fading away, and silently prayed for a miracle by activating a healing spell in her heart.
However, no matter how hard she tried, time relentlessly passed, and Xiao's mother's life gradually came to an end.
