CHAPTER 532: CHAPTER 498: THE LAST REQUEST

Scar-faced’s body was kicked away like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily against the wall of the train carriage before sliding down to the floor, limp.

Seeing his sorry state, Ling Zi couldn’t help but turn away.

The co-driver, having received a heavy blow to the flank, seemed "twisted," clearly having lost all capacity to fight.

His injuries were much more severe than those Ling Zi had just sustained.

Ling Zi instinctively wanted to retreat, but before her body could react, Spirit appeared in front of her.

To Spirit, the iron rod in Ling Zi’s hands was nothing but a toy. With a casual flick of her wrist, the rod dropped from Ling Zi’s grasp.

It’s over!

Ling Zi’s pupils dilated in fear; another hit from her, and she’d surely be dead!

At that critical moment, "bang"—the carriage door burst open with a kick.

Suddenly, a blinding beam of light sliced through the dim interior.

Spirit paused, watching warily for the source of this sudden disturbance.

It was the security team from the train.

They were dressed in uniform and equipped with police gear at their waists; the light just now came from their high-powered flashlights,

and their faces were expressionless.

Clearly, they had received Ling Zi’s distress signal and had come to support her at top speed.

Seizing the opportunity, Ling Zi managed to scramble over to the co-driver, using what seemed like the last ounce of her strength.

Her complexion was pale, her chest wound still oozing blood, yet she gave her orders without hesitation.

"Quick! Attack her! Spare no cost!"

The security team didn’t hesitate; they quickly spread out, forming a semi-encirclement, with their electric shock sticks and handcuffs at the ready.

Spirit stood her ground, her gaze scanning across the team, seemingly calculating the position and potential attack paths of each member.

"Huh? I thought you were pretty tough when I saw you before, turns out you’re just a bunch of chickens."

That evil smile crept back onto her face, as if she was looking forward to the looming battle.

The security team leader raised his walkie-talkie, ordering in a grave tone.

"All units ready. The target is extremely dangerous. Use all necessary means, at all costs!"

Oh?

These guys look pretty professional, huh?

Jiang Xiao sat up straighter, wondering if this train actually had a golden team of fighters.

"Attack!"

The security team leader yelled, leading his brothers in a headlong charge towards Spirit.

Their steps were uniform, like a well-oiled machine, their eyes alight with fearlessness.

Spirit, sneering, didn’t retreat but instead dove headfirst into the security’s formation.

Her movements were lighter and faster than those of the guards, like a raptor soaring through the night sky, each punch and kick whistling with lethal force.

What was thought to be an ambush turned into a massacre as Spirit made quick work of the guards, chopping them down like vegetables.

She weaved through their ranks, and wherever she went, guards fell.

Her small hands, seemingly made of who knows what, brought the sound of breaking bones with every strike.

The security team leader, watching his men getting knocked down like scarecrows, was enraged. He pulled out his electric shock gun and aimed at Spirit.

However, to Spirit, his actions were like slow-motion. She easily sidestepped the taser’s beam, then with a surge forward, struck the team leader in the chest with a punch.

A muffled "thud" echoed.

Like hammered by a great weight, the security team leader was sent flying and crashed heavily into the other end of the carriage.

Breathless.

He wasn’t as resilient as the co-driver; in a direct confrontation, Spirit delivered a true killing blow.

The carriage was a mess, with security guards moaning on the floor, and some had even lost consciousness.

Standing amidst the chaos was Xiao Qi, like a Valkyrie on the battlefield, her eyes sparking with dangerous light.

Jiang Xiao watched it all, the mockery in his eyes even more intense. He knew that Xiao Qi was no ordinary person, even this so-called elite security team on the train was but a plaything in her hands.

Ling Zi and Na Zi were completely stunned at this point, never having imagined that Xiao Qi could dispose of the well-trained security team so easily.

Keep in mind these were beings who felt no fear, no pain!

Even with severed hands and legs, it wouldn’t affect their ability to continue fighting.

Unfortunately for them, their opponent this time was Xiao Qi.

Anyone she struck, lost all signs of life.

"Na Zi..."

The critically injured co-driver and Ling Zi placed their last hope on Na Zi, who had not yet made a move.

"Na Zi, you’re the only one who’s undamaged right now, now, now we can only rely on you..."

Na Zi hastily waved her hands in refusal.

"No, no, no, we aren’t that close, and besides, I’m just a hired hand, I don’t have the power to help you guys!"

"Na Zi! This is our last chance, Xiao Qi must be exhausted now, if you don’t act, once she recovers, none of us will escape!"

Na Zi didn’t respond to the co-driver, instead she quietly hid herself behind Jiang Xiao.

She wasn’t foolish!

That’s right, what the co-driver said made sense.

If Na Zi didn’t act now, sooner or later, she would end up dead too.

But!

Though Jiang Xiao said he didn’t want to get involved, as a former chosen one, Na Zi understood very well that if Xiao Qi’s case wasn’t resolved, Jiang Xiao wouldn’t be able to ’clear the level’!

So.

Why should Na Zi risk her life?

Having dealt with all the others, Xiao Qi finally turned to face Jiang Xiao.

Immense pressure.

That was Xiao Qi’s internal assessment of Jiang Xiao.

He merely stood there, giving Xiao Qi a feeling of extreme danger.

"Are you done?" Jiang Xiao asked her with a smile.

"Mhm, I’m done," Xiao Qi spoke in a soft voice, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Now you have two choices, first, confess and you’ll be treated leniently, resist and you’ll be treated harshly, second, fight me, and after I beat you up, you’ll spill everything."

Emm...

It seemed like a multiple-choice question, but either way, Xiao Qi would have to confess.

Should he just pull her into the Spirit world?

Jiang Xiao stroked the mask in his embrace.

He wanted to test the effect of this mask.

’Woo... Woo.. Woo...’

As the train’s humming sound echoed, the carriage also plunged into darkness.

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

Only Jiang Xiao and Xiao Qi.

The two stared at each other, eye to eye.

One had no need to close his eyes, the other had no need to close hers.

"Jiang Xiao, can I ask you for one last thing?"

Once again, Xiao Qi reverted to her pitiful demeanor, making it hard to believe that such an adorable little girl had just slaughtered so many lives like a god of death.
