Chapter 224 Grilled Cod?
Jiang Xiao seemed to have witnessed the appearance of Silence after its quality was upgraded.
If he seized the opportunity and interrupted the opponent's spellcasting process, would it cause backlash on the caster? Jiang Xiao seemed to see the prototype of this.
At the same time, Han Jiangxue grabbed his arm and stood up.
Jiang Xiao was overjoyed and turned to look at Han Jiangxue, but felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Yes,
Even though Jiang Xiao was already in the frozen wasteland,
Even though Han Jiangxue's eyes were locked on Gao Junwei in the distance,
Jiang Xiao felt as if he had fallen into an even colder ice cave. He saw another side of Han Jiangxue, a strong killing intent.
Her nature was already cold and aloof. Usually, she was relatively indifferent to everything.
Only when facing Jiang Xiao were her actions warmer and more expressive.
But regardless of which side of her he saw, Jiang Xiao had never seen her truly filled with killing intent.
If he had to say, Han Jiangxue also had killing intent when resisting the invading mercenaries in the snowy plains, but at that time, she could only be said to have a very proper attitude towards killing the enemy, without such a strong sense of personal hatred.
Han Jiangxue swept a blast of Barren Wind, directly blowing Gao Junwei into the air.
She reached forward with her right hand, controlling the direction of the wind, as she walked forward.
"Don't go forward, I've silenced that area, all Star Techniques are forbidden," Jiang Xiao said.
People standing outside can cast Star Techniques into the silenced area.
But if you stand inside the silenced area, all the Star Power in your body will be imprisoned.
Han Jiangxue stopped, flicked her left hand downwards, and a slightly golden Torchfire Whip sprang from her hand, coiling around her feet, burning the white snow.
As she waved the whip, the golden Torchfire Whip, like a poisonous snake, opened its fangs and viciously bit at Gao Junwei.
Gao Junwei was dizzy and disoriented, and the forceful interruption of his spellcasting by Silence caused blood to accumulate in his chest and his Star Power to become disordered. For a moment, he couldn't make an effective resistance!
In the next moment, the slightly golden Torchfire Whip accurately wrapped around Gao Junwei's body, not only burning him, but also dragging him down fiercely.
Yes, Han Jiangxue actually dragged him to the ground, towards herself.
For a mage to drag a melee fighter, who has no way to use his abilities, next to her is a very unwise choice!
Just as Jiang Xiao tried to stop her, raging flames erupted from Han Jiangxue's right hand!
The violent flames seemed to burn away everything in time. The golden Torchfire Pillar was thick and large, extremely fierce!
Han Jiangxue used the Torchfire Whip in her left hand to pull him towards herself, and blasted the Torchfire Pillar directly with her right hand!
In an instant, Gao Junwei's figure disappeared into the golden Torchfire Pillar.
Jiang Xiao was still pondering how to subdue Gao Junwei, but in Han Jiangxue's hands, it was so easy.
The howling wind was as chilling as the wails of ghosts, and the screams of the person being burned in the Torchfire Pillar were even more terrifying.
When the corpse was dragged to their feet by the Torchfire Whip, as the Torchfire Pillar died out, Gao Junwei had become a charred corpse.
Jiang Xiao had never thought that things would develop to this point.
People are always forced to accept many things they don't want to accept. For example, now, this former opponent is dead.
Everyone has their own ideas and goals.
No matter how much the conflict between Gao Junwei and Li Weiyi escalated, in Han Jiangxue's view, it had nothing to do with "life and death." She and Xia Yan chose the more humane Li Weiyi as their teammate and kicked Gao Junwei out of the team, which was understandable.
They were not relatives or friends, and she was not a saint, so she could not pay for other people's actions.
After that, the conflict between this team and Gao Junwei became uncontrollable, and they clashed several times in the competition, accumulating grievances.
But until today, Han Jiangxue had never thought of killing Gao Junwei.
She had never regarded Gao Junwei as a mortal enemy.
As a senior high school awakened student, Han Jiangxue's concept of confrontation was more focused on the scope of "victory and defeat."
Today, Gao Junwei's mother taught Han Jiangxue a very vivid lesson.
Victory and defeat?
If you hurt my son, I will kill you.
If I have the strength, I can do whatever I want. For my son's growth, you can die.
And let’s take Jiang Xiaopi along the way, what if I kill your whole family.
...
Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue's quiet figure, at the charred corpse at her feet, and walked over.
He reached out his hand, but it froze in mid-air, hesitated, and gently patted Han Jiangxue's shoulder: "Are you okay?"
Han Jiangxue slowly turned around, looked at Jiang Xiao quietly, suddenly took a step forward, and hugged him tightly.
"Uh..." Due to inertia, Jiang Xiao took a step back.
"It must hurt a lot." Han Jiangxue's arms tightly encircled Jiang Xiao's neck, with great force, but her voice was very soft, so soft that it was heartbreaking, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao didn't know what to say. In fact, his feelings were exactly the same as Han Jiangxue's. He also felt that he hadn't protected her well, and that she had experienced such pain and torture just now.
She was just an eighteen-year-old girl, she shouldn't have to endure these things.
Jiang Xiao gently rubbed Han Jiangxue's back. In the snow, her body was icy cold, and only her actions could bring a little warmth to his heart.
After waiting for a while, when her emotions had stabilized a little, Jiang Xiao suggested, "Let's go into the cave, it's too cold outside, we need to talk."
"Okay." Han Jiangxue gave a soft hum, and finally let go of Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao grabbed the charred corpse and quickly dragged it towards the cave.
They had killed people before.
They had also destroyed evidence before.
This was not a normal world after all, and they were not ordinary people.
That being said, if they could, who would want to be so bitter and hateful?
Jiang Xiao dragged the corpse back to the cave, and the water on the campfire was already boiling, bubbling.
On the ground, the crushed signal flare seemed to be helping the two recall everything that had just happened.
Jiang Xiao turned to look at Han Jiangxue, who was walking in, and said, "Remember, we acted in self-defense, we had no choice, this mother and son didn't give us the right to choose."
At this time, the reasons must be made clear.
Han Jiangxue walked in, stood in front of the campfire, glanced down at the charred corpse, and said, "In fact, I had a choice, and I made it."
Jiang Xiao: "..."
"I can't let the woman in the space out, because we will be killed by her, I really have no choice." Han Jiangxue gestured towards the charred corpse in the distance, and said, "But this one, I had a choice, and I killed him with my own hands."
Jiang Xiao scratched his head, speechless.
Good heavens...
This is serious...
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "We currently have three options."
Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao with a serious expression.
"1. Destroy the evidence. This snowy plain can cover up all traces, and we haven't been seen by anyone." Jiang Xiao tried to calm down, and tried to think and analyze, "But these two people can control our movements, it's obvious that they have eyes on us, and we don't know if there are others who know that they came to make trouble for us. If these two people disappear in the snowy plain, even if there is no evidence, people will suspect us, and there will be a lot of trouble."
Han Jiangxue nodded thoughtfully.
"2. Among our few relationships, do you think Xia Shan Hai is willing to help us two, is he willing to wade into this muddy water? Even if he is willing, does he have the ability to cover up or solve this matter?"
Han Jiangxue frowned, noncommittal.
"3." Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said, "We pack everything up, return the way we came, and find Er Wei."
Weighing the pros and cons of the three options, Han Jiangxue remained silent for a long time. In her mind, she trusted Xia Shan Hai more. After all, Xia Shan Hai's relationship with his parents was there, and she didn't know Er Wei well.
But Han Jiangxue didn't make a decision, but asked, "What do you think we should do?"
"This is the snowy plain, Er Wei's Night Watcher status is uniquely advantageous." Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and continued, "I have a life-or-death relationship with Er Wei."
Han Jiangxue said softly, "You think she can help us, and is willing to help us."
Jiang Xiao pondered for a long time, and said, "Or... why don't you wait here for me? I'll go out and buy her a few more grilled codfish?"
Han Jiangxue: "..."
