C11 (1/2)

The rental house was a mess, the wind that was blowing across the sky had even made a few crescent-shaped holes in the walls. Some wind came in through the holes, but it was still blowing on Lin Xiao's bloody hair on his forehead.

”Brother Lin Xiao …”

Long Xuan only kept on softly calling out to Lin Xiao. She was so sad that she couldn't say anything else, and there was nothing she could do to prevent Lin Xiao from getting hurt. She could only use all her strength to hug Lin Xiao, but couldn't even raise her hand.

In order to escape, she had paid a great price.

”Hey, hey, hey,” You Tian was getting impatient. He casually dug his ears and urged, ”Are you dead yet? If you want to live, then hand the girl over to us. If you want to die, then quickly come over and accept death. Then we'll take the girl away.”

”Die …” ”He won't die.” Lin Xiao slowly placed Long Xuan on the ground and took off her torn jacket to place under her. Afterwards, he used his hands to support his body as he gradually stood up.

”Brother Lin Xiao, don't …”

”Xuanxuan, can I have a word with you in private?” Lin Xiao seemed to have thought of something and used her knees to prop herself up to speak into Long Xuan's ear. Afterwards, she stood up and faced the skies, no longer paying attention to the teary Long Xuan behind her.

You Tian frowned as he looked at the man covered in blood. He could not understand why he would rather sacrifice his life to protect this little girl. According to him, the two were not related by blood, right?

Lin Xiao naturally did not know what Wandering Heavens was thinking at this moment. Otherwise, with his personality, he would definitely ruthlessly retort. He wanted to live, but he could not live after offending either side.

Of course, although Lin Xiao's eyes were dim, they were filled with determination. From the look of it, he would not just sit idly by and watch a little girl die.

”Stubborn and restless.”

”Humph!” You Tian coldly snorted. He twisted his hand into a blade and ruthlessly hacked at Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao roared as he used all the strength in his body to punch towards Wandering Sky's hand.

Lin Xiao didn't like defending. Defending was passively receiving a beating. Only by taking the initiative to attack would one have a chance at winning.

However, the disparity in strength caused Lin Xiao to be sent flying again and again. His method was also very simple. He stood up once again and faced the incoming attack.

After all, the Netherworld Flame was attached to Lin Xiao's body. Every time he punched, the Netherworld Flame would follow suit, and the destructive power of the fire caused his blood to boil and his face to flush red. His internal organs seemed to be in chaos.

Falling down again and again, climbing up again and again, and being knocked flying again and again, Lin Xiao was no longer able to continue. He fell on the ground and took more and more time to catch his breath, and the time he took to get up became longer and longer.

Seeing Lin Xiao slowly sit up on the ground, the panting Wandering Sky finally felt his heart collapse. He roared into the sky, and before Lin Xiao could stand up and dodge, his hand formed into a fist that punched towards Lin Xiao's face.

”Pfft!”

Lin Xiao spat out another mouthful of blood. Even his teeth flew out as well. His body flew backward, his head hitting the wall before he stopped. His left cheek was swollen to the point where his left eye could no longer be seen.

”F * ck you, if you have the ability, then stand up for me again.” The flames of fury burned in You Tian's heart as she stared at the half-dead Lin Xiao with an ominous glint in her eyes.

Even the travelling girl could not stand seeing that. She frowned and said, ”You've passed, our goal is only the little girl. Take the little girl and leave quickly.”

Wandering Sky took a deep breath, and his beast claws returned to his adult hands as he walked towards Long Xuan.

”Stop.” A weak cry rang out.

Under the crowd's gaze, Lin Xiao propped himself up against the wall, his eyelids drooping as he gasped for breath.

His body was swaying as if he would collapse at any moment. He could not even raise his head to look at the enemy.

Wandering Sky was stunned. He had never seen such a person before. Even if he lacked the strength to lift his head, even if he knew that he would die, he still had to protect someone that had nothing to do with him.

The woman who was with Wandering could not help but say, ”You can stop. Wandering will really kill you.”

”No, you're not allowed to hurt her.” Lin Xiao bowed and walked step by step towards Long Xuan. He walked very slowly and it would take a very long time for him to bring his foot down again.

Wandering did not make a move. He was disdainful to make a move. His pride did not allow him to make a move against a person who had no fighting strength at all.

He quietly watched as Lin Xiao walked in front of the little girl and crouched down to protect the little girl.

For the first time, Wandering Sky felt that he had done something wrong. It was the first time that he felt regret.
