Chapter 9: The Line Between Life and Death

Under the violent explosion just now, Dark Flame is not dead yet!

His body was covered in burns and lacerations, barely an inch of intact skin. The poisonous bee that Purple Smoke evolved into a biological bomb didn't even kill him at such a close distance.

Not only that, but among the wounds of the dark flame, there was still flesh and blood that kept wriggling, slowly repairing one wound after another.

His originally handsome face had been completely distorted, staring at Ziyan and Jiang Xiao, and staggering towards the two of them, but the speed was speeding up little by little.

The distance between the three of them is only about 50 meters. At the speed of Dark Flame, it would only take a minute to come to the two of them.

"This guy...... Is it a monster?"

With the explosion of the qi wave just now, even Jiang Xiao in the distance was shocked to the point that he couldn't stand steadily, so he naturally knew very well how powerful it was. He thought that Dark Flame had died in the explosion, but he didn't expect that he was still alive, and he hadn't given up the pursuit of Ziyan!

"Hurry up...... Let's go!" Ziyan shouted at Jiang Xiao, who was stunned, "What are you waiting for!

Jiang Xiao naturally knew in his heart that since Dark Yan had chosen to set up an ambush to assassinate Ziyan, he would definitely not let go of Ziyan's mouth. And after witnessing all this, no matter what his identity is, Dark Flame will definitely kill him and minimize the possibility of this news being leaked.

"Don't run!"

Jiang Xiao picked up Ziyan and was about to turn around and run away, but the dark flame behind him picked up a broken branch from the ground, and then twisted his body into a curved bow, popping out all the strength of his whole body, and threw it towards Jiang Xiao.

The branch cut through the sky, like a javelin, piercing Jiang Xiao's heart. Although Jiang Xiao tried his best to dodge, he still couldn't dodge completely. With a scream, his thigh was pierced heavily, blood splattered, and he was nailed to the ground by the branch.

And the purple smoke in his arms was also thrown to the ground.

After throwing the branch, Darkflame stopped walking, crouching on the ground and gasping for breath. Fang Cai's injuries were indeed so severe that he used all his strength to throw the branch, and he didn't even have the strength to walk.

Jiang Xiao endured the pain in his thigh, raised his head and glanced at Dark Yan, and saw that although he was panting and squatting on the ground, it was obvious that he was recovering his strength little by little. If you don't run away, I'm afraid that the dark flame will be able to chase after you soon.

It's just that the injury on his thigh is too serious, and the branch is still firmly inserted in the gap between the muscles, not to mention escaping with purple smoke on his back, even if he is standing steadily now, it is a luxury. Jiang Xiao tried to stand up, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he sat down on the ground again.

"This little hurt ......" Ziyan gritted her teeth, looked up at Jiang Xiao, and suddenly stretched out her right hand and held it at the end of the branch: "Bear with me!!"

"Ahh

Jiang Xiao screamed, and before he even had time to stop it, he already saw that on his right leg, the branch had been pulled out by the purple smoke, bringing out a series of blood, which was still dripping downward.

"Believe in yourself! Even if you haven't fully awakened, you have Neanderthal blood!Stand up!" Ziyan said to Jiang Xiao in a hoarse voice, "You can do it!"

Jiang Xiao also looked at the dark flame who had already struggled to stand up, staggering step by step, his face was as hideous as a demon, and he gritted his teeth and grabbed Ziyan and carried it on his shoulder. Ziyan is already slim, plus she is missing an arm, she doesn't have much weight, if she changes to Jiang Xiao on weekdays, it won't be a heavy burden on her. But at this moment, his right leg was seriously injured, and he suddenly put a pressure on his shoulder, and he actually snorted, and the wound on his leg was in severe pain, and he almost fell to his knees.

"Take a deep breath and focus your mind on your legs, which will speed up your recovery. No matter what rank the Awakened are, they all have a certain ability to recover themselves, but the difference is just that they are fast or slow. Ziyan whispered weakly on Jiang Xiao's shoulder.

Jiang Xiao tried his best to stabilize his breathing and mood, and according to Ziyan's guidance, he focused his thoughts on the wound on his leg while walking towards the woods step by step. At first, every step I took, there was a pain in my leg, but gradually, step by step, the wound stopped bleeding, and there was even a tingling and itching sensation.

Isn't that...... Is it the power of the Awakened?

But according to what Ziyan said, he is obviously not fully awakened yet!

But at this moment, it was not the time for Jiang Xiao to think slowly, the sound of heavy footsteps behind him was still coming, although Dark Yan was seriously injured, he was not killed immediately, he was still slowly recovering, and his footsteps were also speeding up little by little.

"Purple Smoke, do you think you can run away, and that kid! you all have to die! you all have to die!" Dark Flame's hoarse voice came from behind him, with a deep malice that could be seen in the bones.

Jiang Xiao put the purple smoke on his back, took strong steps, and walked all the way down the mountain. His car was parked at the foot of the mountain, and as long as he could get into the car, the chances of escaping were much greater.

Although the sharp pain in his leg has not subsided, it is gradually slowing down, and Jiang Xiao is getting used to it little by little. Although the first few dozen steps were still extremely difficult, Jiang Xiao soon increased his speed, leaving the dark flame behind him for a distance, and under the barrier of the dense forest, he was no longer visible.

Merely...... Even if you escape from the Dark Flame's hands now, what will you do after that?

"No...... Don't worry......" Ziyan behind Jiang Xiao seemed to see his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Dark Yan's action is not the order of the dean, it is him...... It's just an act of self-management to get something from me. Or rather, he betrayed the Academy. As long as I survive tonight and report the situation, Dark Flame will definitely be sanctioned by the Academy. ”

Saying that, Ziyan smiled bitterly again: "It's a pity that when they attacked just now, the communication instrument was damaged." Otherwise...... now The academy already knew about Dark Flame's betrayal. ”

Jiang Xiao remembered the earphone that popped out of his watch when Ziyan connected the dark flame phone before. It's just that now Ziyan's left hand has disappeared shoulder-to-shoulder, where else can I find any watch?

"Then I...... What will happen next?" Jiang Xiao asked as he strode down the mountain and looked at Ziyan behind him.

"You're no different than before. Ziyan gasped twice: "We will continue to list you as a subject of observation, invite you to join in due course, and ...... You will have the right to refuse. ”

Ziyan coughed heavily, and continued with a wry smile: "Believe me, what you saw tonight doesn't mean ...... The image of the Academy. ”

"Yes......" Jiang Xiao muttered to himself in his heart, a little scoffing.

Is a man who was almost assassinated by a colleague qualified to say such things?

But he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say such a slander. At least so far, Ziyan and him are still grasshoppers on a rope. Whether they can survive tonight's dark flame hunt together, it's not certain.

"What about you...... Will you die?" Jiang Xiao ran and looked back behind him, it was still dark and dreary, there was no dark shadow, and he couldn't hear the slightest movement. But the purple smoke behind it looks really worrying.

Fang Cai Jiang Xiao could see it very clearly, Dark Yan's fist opened two large holes in Ziyan's body, if it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that ten lives would have already been given away.

"It may take a long recovery period, but it won't kill me yet. Because my class ability is to manipulate cells, my ability to recover from injuries will be much stronger than that of other awakened people. It's just that if you are caught up by Dark Flame again......"

"The rank you are talking about...... What is it?" Jiang Xiao asked, "I heard you mention, civilians, craftsmen, warriors, and the like. You're a craftsman, and Darkflame ...... It's a warrior, so what's the difference between you?"

"Rank...... It is the class that every Neanderthal has fixed since birth, and it will not change for the rest of his life...... Depending on the rank, they will have different abilities...... But...... How can I have time to talk to you about this kind of thing now...... The more important thing at this moment is to live......" Ziyan's voice was weak, and the two big holes that Dark Yan had opened in her torso didn't cause too much blood, but they still caused huge damage. Even with the recovery ability of Purple Smoke, it is impossible to immediately return to normal in a short period of time.

"Okay......" Jiang Xiao also knew that this was not the time to ask more, so he struggled to carry the purple smoke on his back and strode towards the bottom of the mountain.

When going up the mountain, Jiang Xiao walked up slowly, running with all his strength at the moment, although he had a purple smoke on his back, it was still much faster than the original speed. Although the wound on the thigh was still stinging, the pain was much less severe than before.

And under such a full-speed run, Jiang Xiao was also surprised to find that his physical strength and speed had been greatly improved compared to the original. His original physical fitness was just the level of an ordinary sports enthusiast, but it only took him less than ten minutes to run all the way, and he had already completed the distance that he had only half an hour to complete, and he vaguely saw the foot of the mountain.

"That's it...... It's almost at the bottom of the mountain. My car...... Stop there. After getting in the car...... Where are you going?" Jiang Xiao gasped slightly, and asked Ziyan behind him.

"First...... Let's go to the city and find a place to hide first......" Ziyan's weak voice was slightly better than before: "My three residences, Dark Flame may know, and I can't throw myself into the net." As long as I dodge him tonight, I can report back to the dean. ”

"Good. Jiang Xiao nodded and made the final sprint, and soon, the mountain road was already over, and his Tesla parked on the side of the road also appeared in his sight.

"It's here!" Jiang Xiao was just happy in his heart, but suddenly heard an angry roar behind him, accompanied by the sound of trees falling.

Looking back in shock, the tall figure of Dark Flame had already appeared behind him, and his posture at the moment was actually running wildly!

"You can't run away, damn it!" Although the wounds on Dark Flame's body were still densely covered all over his body, they were much less and much shallower than before. And the speed at which he was running wildly at this time, although it was far from being comparable to his heyday, was far faster than Jiang Xiao, who was carrying a purple smoke on his back.

At this moment, the distance between the two is only more than 100 meters. And Jiang Xiao is about the same distance from his car.

If he is caught up by the dark flame, a half-crippled purple smoke, and Jiang Xiao, who has not yet fully awakened, will face the dark flame that has already shown his combat power to the fullest, and the result can naturally be imagined. Even though Dark Flame's injuries had definitely not fully recovered now, Jiang Xiao had no intention of making an attempt with his own life.

Running wildly! Running wildly! Running wildly! The roar of the dark flames behind him was getting closer and closer, and Jiang Xiao's heart was beating faster and faster.

He didn't dare to look back, for fear that as long as he turned around, he would be able to see Dark Yan's hideous face.

And also...... 10 meters ...... Five meters!

Jiang Xiao had already rushed to his car. And the keyless start Tesla, directly open the door, press the button, you can gallop all the way to escape!

Jiang Xiao believed that no matter how fast the dark flame was, it would be impossible to catch up with the speed of the car.

But just when Jiang Xiao's fingertips had touched the door handle, he also heard an angry roar from the back of his head.

"Die!"

A strong blast came from behind, and Jiang Xiao only felt that the sky was spinning in front of him, and he was swept away, rolling to the side and flying, and then falling heavily. There was a pain in my chest, and I was afraid that I had broken two or three ribs.

And the purple smoke ......

Ziyan had already been seriously injured, and now he had suffered the main force of the dark flame's blow, and a burst of blood spurted from Sakura's lips, and she fell to the ground with Jiang Xiao.

At this moment, the two of them were hit by that force and flew across the long street, and they were more than ten meters away from Jiang Xiao's car.

"Tell me where the seed is before you die!

Dark Flame walked towards the two of them step by step, and on the naked body, the muscles were as toned as sculptures.

Next to the two of them, there was a half-thick tree trunk that rolled across the ground.

Although Dark Flame didn't have time to catch up with the two, he finally caught up with him enough to break a tree trunk and throw it at the distance between the two.

"Damn ......"

Jiang Xiao looked at the Tesla across the street, which was obviously close at hand, but there was no chance to escape on it.

Is it ...... today? Really going to die here?
