The beast stared wide-eyed at the blood-soaked demon before him in disbelief.
He... he was actually retaliated against by the devil.
This...this...
Even on his deathbed, he didn't know how Lin Congzhi had managed to do it.
Logically speaking, a person whose heart is stabbed should die in less than a few seconds, right?
It's so bizarre, incredibly bizarre.
Lin Congzhi didn't know either; all he knew was that he would use the knife in his chest to kill this ferocious beast.
The fight was so chaotic that Jiang Yimei could only catch glimpses of it through the lightning.
She didn't see the knife pierce Lin Congzhi's heart; she only heard a muffled thud from Lin Congzhi, then the sound of something hitting the wall, and then the crisp sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.
Upon hearing this sound, she instinctively assumed that Lin Congzhi had been killed, and her emotions collapsed, tears streaming down her face.
She wanted to cry out, but she couldn't speak at all; she wanted to, but couldn't.
She was devastated, utterly helpless, and utterly hopeless.
After killing the ferocious beast, Lin Congzhi pulled out his knife and then stumbled and staggered towards Jiang Yimei in the dark.
His vision gradually blurred. He didn't know if it was because of the darkness, the blood loss, or the severe brain injury and ruptured heart.
He forced his eyelids open and kept walking forward, because he... he wanted to save the person he loved most.
Hearing the sound of stumbling footsteps approaching her, Jiang Yimei felt a little scared, wondering whose footsteps they were.
She subconsciously thought it was that inhuman beast, because she believed that Lin Congzhi, who had suffered a severe head injury, had been killed by that beast who carried a weapon.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and she was able to make out some of the person's face.
A very tall figure, a terrifying face, and a body covered in wounds.
Upon seeing this scene, for some reason, Jiang Yimei choked up, and tears welled up in her eyes and went down to her stomach.
She never expected Lin Congzhi to be injured like this.
He looked like he was about to die; his body was swaying precariously, and his eyes were about to close.
Why? Why did Lin Congzhi risk his life to save her?
Didn't he not love her? Why did he come...?
As she thought about it, her grief overwhelmed her, and she sobbed uncontrollably, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart by a thousand knives, experiencing unbearable pain.
It was also through the light of the lightning that Lin Congzhi vaguely saw Jiang Yimei's body.
He walked with faltering steps, using all his strength and willpower to get there.
When he reached Jiang Yimei, he finally collapsed to the ground.
"Ugh!! Ugh!!"
Feeling part of Lin Congzhi's body fall onto her feet, Jiang Yimei made muffled thuds, trying to wake Lin Congzhi and help him up.
But in the end, she could only remain helpless.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Physical weakness led to difficulty breathing.
Lin Congzhi was panting heavily. He closed his eyes for half a minute, then opened them again.
A powerful will sustained him, compelling him to rescue Jiang Yimei before he could collapse.
With his blood-stained hands, he found the tape binding his feet and cut it off one by one.
This cut took a lot of his strength; already on the verge of death, he was too weak to crawl over and cut the tape off Jiang Yimei's hand.
However, he came up with a solution: "Yi... Yi Mei, put... put your hand over here."
Jiang Yimei immediately understood what Lin Congzhi meant.
Once her feet were no longer bound, she could get up from the ground and move her body; this way, Lin Congzhi could help her cut the tape on her hands without moving.
