Chi Jiao’s superpower was mental attacks. It was far more difficult to use this kind of power than physical attacks. Once it was exhausted, the user would suffer internal injuries and would require proper rest.
Chi Jiao took deep breaths from the pain. She endured the metallic taste of blood in her throat and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Chi Jiao knew very well that her life was not in danger now. It was just that she had exhausted too much energy this time. It would be a while before she could use her mental power again.
Chi Jiao looked down at the golden scale in her hand, which was still stained with blood.
“Boss, what’s this?” Beitang Lie asked.
“Cough cough, it’s the scale I took from She Qi’s body. It’s all thanks to this scale that I was able to escape. Otherwise, things would have been very grim today,” Chi Jiao said after taking a deep breath.
“Chi Jiao, how are you? The doctor is waiting outside. Let’s send you to the hospital first?” Huo Chen said anxiously.
Chi Jiao shook her head. “I’m fine.”
With that, she took a deep breath and wiped the blood off her face with a handkerchief, returning to her usual cool self.
“Send Zou Xingxing to the hospital first. She helped me just now. Maybe I can request a reduction in her sentence.” Chi Jiao had always been scrupulous in separating her private interests from work. Zou Xingxing had never killed anyone. She only committed attempted murder. In addition, she also knew about She Qi. As long as she was willing to cooperate, there was a high chance that she could avoid the death penalty.
Hearing this, Huo Chen looked troubled. “Chi Jiao, Zou Xingxing probably can’t hold on anymore.”
Chi Jiao frowned and walked towards Zou Xingxing.
Zou Xingxing was lying on the ground.
She was still conscious, but her body felt like it was filled with lead, and she couldn’t move.
She watched as the doctors and nurses in white coats rushed over. She pried open her eyes and looked at the light. She then looked at the wound on her abdomen and shook her head.
Zou Xingxing experienced all of this calmly. A strange feeling welled up in her heart.
She knew that death was coming for her, but she wasn’t afraid at all. Instead, she felt relieved.
She only had one regret… If only Jiaojiao was willing to come over… come over to take just a single look at her.
Zou Xingxing instinctively smiled at the thought of Chi Jiao. But just as the corners of her lips curled up, she coughed out a large mouthful of blood.
Zou Xingxing had never been so close to death before.
She could clearly feel her blood flowing out of her body bit by bit, replaced by coldness.
The bone-piercing coldness gradually replaced all her senses. She couldn’t even feel the pain anymore.
She was really going to die this time.
Zou Xingxing’s vision blurred, and she saw a petite figure running towards her. Her lips curled up slightly.
How nice.
Before she died, she could see the light of her life with her own eyes.
Chi Jiao quickly ran to Zou Xingxing to check on her injuries.
With just one look, she knew that Zou Xingxing was beyond hope.
There was a large hole in Zou Xingxing’s stomach and a large pool of blood under her.
She had lost so much blood and suffered such a fatal injury. Even an immortal deity wouldn’t be able to save her.
Pei Yao, Beitang Lie, and Huo Chen also ran over.
They sensed that something was amiss when they saw Chi Jiao rushing forward like a lunatic.
Just as Chi Jiao arrived at Zou Xingxing’s side, the latter was already on her final breath.
Zou Xingxing had been holding onto this last breath.
Just so she could see Chi Jiao’s face one last time.
