CHAPTER 531: CHAPTER 497: FALLING OUT!

"If I say it’s not good?"

With a haughty tone and that evil smile, everyone now understood without needing Jiang Xiao to explain.

This Xiao Qi, she’s not to be trifled with!

"Let’s go!"

The co-driver pushed Ling Zi away, trying to distance her from the now perilous Xiao Qi.

His response was quick, but Xiao Qi moved faster.

As she spoke, she had already "gently" tapped Ling Zi’s chest.

However, that single touch.

It turned Ling Zi’s originally rosy complexion instantly pale, followed by an uncontrollable spew of fresh blood.

Her body was flung away by a great force.

Upon closer inspection, one could even see shattered organs mixed in the blood she’d spat out.

Hiss?

Seeing Ling Zi collapse in front of him, Jiang Xiao also took a few steps back.

One should know that Ling Zi was a key NPC in this "Kaidan", certainly not weak.

Who would have thought she couldn’t even take one blow from Xiao Qi?

Nearly killed in an instant?

Nakiko tried to help Ling Zi up, but she refused, instead frantically pressing a button on her waist.

Call the security team!

If nothing went wrong, all the people on the scene combined were still no match for Xiao Qi.

That slap just now...

Ling Zi looked at her chest with lingering fear.

There was a pocket watch there, left to her by her grandmother.

If it weren’t for that, that slap would have definitely taken her life.

It was utterly terrifying!

The co-driver too was shocked.

The extent of Ling Zi’s strength, as the co-driver, he knew all too well.

Didn’t even take one strike?

Looks like she’s severely injured, another brush with Xiao Qi and she might be done for.

"Xiao Qi, calm down a bit!"

"Calm down?"

Xiao Qi’s lips curled into a mischievous smile that belied her age.

"That Jiang surname has been aggressively challenging me, how do you expect me to calm down? Tell me, how to calm down! Huh?!"

Ah, this...

Everyone turned their gaze to Jiang Xiao.

He looked perplexed, implying that his inquiries were for their own good.

Otherwise, when Xiao Qi eventually made her move, they’d be dead without even knowing how.

Thinking it over, Jiang Xiao’s words seemed quite sensible.

Xiao Qi’s behavior wouldn’t change just because of their personal desires.

She was just a bad girl.

Now that Jiang Xiao had exposed her, it seemed that her coming out into the open might be the best outcome.

Without Jiang Xiao, perhaps Xiao Qi would have secretly picked them off one by one.

"So, so Xiao Qi, you just said it yourself, it’s been Jiang Xiao pushing you all along, why did you attack us?"

Umm...

About that question.

Xiao Qi tried her best not to make eye contact with Jiang Xiao.

Mainly because... mainly because she felt she couldn’t beat Jiang Xiao...

Wouldn’t seeking trouble with him be humiliating herself?

Xiao Qi still remembered that overwhelming force had nearly shattered the entire train...

So, she had no choice but to target those few soft persimmons.

Seeing Xiao Qi unable to look Jiang Xiao in the eye...

The co-driver and Ling Zi, of course, knew that she was the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

They immediately began pleading with Jiang Xiao to lend a hand.

Hearing that Jiang Xiao intended to assist, Xiao Qi, who was facing away, quivered her ears and lifted her legs, as if ready to bolt at the slightest hint of trouble.

Jiang Xiao was somewhat speechless.

This little trickster had just displayed a demonic expression that seemed poised to destroy the world, and now she was planning an escape...

However, he had no immediate plans to intervene.

Let them fight amongst themselves.

After all, he did not think the combination of the co-driver and Ling Zi was particularly upstanding either.

Although they appeared to stand on the side of "righteousness."

It was like the famous train paradox, unclear whether using ordinary passengers’ lives to counter the supernatural force was right or wrong.

"Forget it, you play, this is your T180 train’s family matter, it doesn’t seem appropriate for an outsider like me to intervene."

Everyone: ? ? ?

Xiao Qi: .....

Seeing Jiang Xiao unwilling to assist, desperation settled in Scar-faced, the co-driver’s, heart as he made up his mind.

He knew that if he didn’t act now, once Xiao Qi reacted, none of them would make it out of the carriage alive.

Thus, he silently drew a dagger hidden in his clothes, poised for action.

Xiao Qi was still in a daze, echoing Jiang Xiao’s words in her mind.

She didn’t expect that Jiang Xiao, always so aggressive, would choose to remain uninvolved at this moment.

Just then, at this critical moment, Scar-faced, like a cheetah, pounced toward Xiao Qi, his dagger aimed directly at her back.

Xiao Qi, relying on her extraordinary intuition, sensed the murderous intent behind her.

What a sneaky attack!

With a swift turn, she dodged the fatal blow.

But Scar-faced’s assault did not cease there.

The two engaged in a fierce struggle within the cramped carriage, his dagger slicing through the air, generating sharp, whistling noises.

Seeing the dagger gleaming with silver light, Xiao Qi, unsure of its safety, initially felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Although Ling Zi was not fully healed, seeing Scar-faced gaining the upper hand forced her to suppress her pain, crawl up from the ground, and grab an iron bar lying nearby to join the fight.

Her movements were clumsy due to the intense pain in her chest, but they gave Scar-faced more opportunities, forcing Xiao Qi to divert her attention to two opponents.

Jiang Xiao watched all this with a cold sneer.

He clearly saw Scar-faced’s surprise attack and Ling Zi’s support.

He grimaced, disdaining the actions of this man who claimed to be Fang Tianyu’s brother.

Just now, this fellow had actually suggested that Xiao Qi treat him like a father.

Then he turned around and staged a sneak attack.

But he had no intention of intervening.

He leaned in a corner of the carriage, arms crossed in front of his chest, an amused look in his eyes.

He wanted to see what this chaotic battle would eventually evolve into.

In his eyes, they were just clowns on the train, their fates irrelevant to him.

A fierce light flashed in Xiao Qi’s eyes; the dagger seemed less formidable than she had imagined. With unrestrained movements, her actions became increasingly ruthless.

Seeing Xiao Qi’s increasingly fierce gaze, Scar-faced grew wary.

But his body could not keep up with his mind.

Suddenly, Xiao Qi’s figure flashed before him like an illusion, then he felt an immense force on his arm.

With a "bang!" Scar-faced’s arm seemed to be struck by an invisible force, intense pain shooting through it.

Then he saw his arm bending backward at an unbelievable angle, the bone protruding through the skin, blood splattered everywhere.

Xiao Qi’s movements were swift and precise; she did not give Scar-faced any chance to breathe.

As Scar-faced’s arm broke, Xiao Qi’s figure ghostly appeared on his other side, her foot fiercely kicking his waist.
