Chapter 154 Accidental Killing
Ji Xingyi then realized that the person outside the door yesterday afternoon was Su Yuning.
Ji Xingyi: "Since you know about my relationship with him, you shouldn't have asked."
Yu Ling's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Why waste words with him! Attack him all at once!"
Chi Xuan, Fang Heng, and Yang Yizhou moved in, and the five of them instantly surrounded Ji Xingyi. Guo Xinwen quietly moved towards the corner of the wall. She didn't want to be caught in the crossfire; she didn't want to be harmed.
The short-haired girl said sternly, "His left shoulder and right arm have just been stabbed. Let's capture him first and use him to force Jiang Lin out!"
Yu Ling was very dissatisfied upon hearing this, and he wanted to kill Ji Xingyi immediately. However, Chi Xuan nodded in agreement with Su Yuning's statement.
Yang Yizhou, Fang Heng, and Yu Ling attacked together. Seeing this, Ji Xingyi kicked over the square table in front of him. While the three of them retreated, Su Yuning rushed towards Ji Xingyi from another direction.
The short-haired girl had learned all the fighting techniques from Jin Kang, and she could now sweep her legs horizontally.
Ji Xingyi reacted quickly, grabbing the short-haired girl's ankle with his left hand and slamming her against the wall.
Ji Xingyi's wound reopened due to the force exerted by her left hand, and blood dripped from her fingertips onto the floor.
Chi Xuan, lacking any fighting ability, saw Su Yuning hit the back of her head against the wall and faint, so she immediately grabbed the washbasin in the corner and splashed the water in it at Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi was caught off guard when water entered her eyes, her vision became increasingly blurry, her mind became increasingly confused, and the sounds from her dream kept echoing in her ears.
Fang Heng seized the opportunity to launch a flying kick, forcing Ji Xingyi to raise his hand to block. The powerful force struck, and blood began to gush from the wound on his shoulder.
Another figure approached from within his field of vision, and Ji Xingyi instinctively swung his knife. The next second, Ji Xingyi heard Chi Xuan's scream.
Fang Heng: "Chi Xuan!"
Yang Yizhou: "Watch out! He has a knife!"
Ji Xingyi's mind cleared up a little, and he realized that the knife had just cut Chi Xuan's arm.
Chi Xuan clutched her arm and fell to the ground. Fang Heng remembered that Zhou Jue had been killed by Jiang Lin, and now Ji Xingyi had injured another of his teammates. His face hardened, and he roared, "Attack together!"
Yu Ling, Fang Heng, and Yang Yizhou charged forward together. Ji Xingyi was too strong; after a chaotic fight, Yang Yizhou was kicked in the chest and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a moment. Taking advantage of Ji Xingyi's distraction, Fang Heng pounced on him from behind.
Ji Xingyi turned around and swung his knife again. Fang Heng was about to dodge when he was bumped by Yu Ling, who rushed up from behind. With a thud, Fang Heng lowered his head in pain.
The silver blade pierced Fang Heng's abdomen!
Ji Xingyi's pupils dilated, and he drew his knife.
Fang Heng clutched his abdominal wound, staggered backward, and blood gushed onto the ground.
"Fang Heng!" Yu Ling supported Fang Heng and shouted anxiously, "I'm going to kill you!"
"Hold on! Fang Heng!" Chi Xuan frantically pressed on Fang Heng's abdomen, looking at Ji Xingyi in disbelief. She regretted why she had shown mercy; she should have listened to Yu Ling and killed Ji Xingyi!
"I'm going to kill you!" Chi Xuan glared at Ji Xingyi through tears. Jiang Lin killed Zhou Jue, and Ji Xingyi killed Fang Heng. It was utterly ironic!
"Fire!" Suddenly, the innkeeper's anxious shouts came from downstairs at the Qingshui Inn. A few seconds later, thick black smoke billowed up the stairs!
The waiter, his face blackened by smoke, shouted into the room, "Run! Fire! Run!"
The houses in the ancient town were all made of solid wood, and the fire spread very quickly. Yang Yizhou, enduring the pain, carried Su Yuning on his back and left first.
The smoke was getting increasingly choking. Guo Xinwen grabbed Chi Xuan, who was about to rush towards Ji Xingyi in a frenzy: "Go! There's no time! Saving your life is the most important thing!"
"You just wait!" Yu Ling sneered at Ji Xingyi, then followed Chi Xuan and Guo Xinwen, quickly retreating.
Ji Xingyi covered his mouth and nose, preparing to jump out of the window. He figured Chi Xuan and the others would be blocking the doorway at the stairwell so he wouldn't get out.
"Don't jump! This is the third floor!" The waiter shouted immediately upon seeing this. "It's me! Come with me!"
Ji Xing turned his head and saw that the waiter with a face covered in soot was actually Chen Jiangqiao!
Ji Xingyi immediately withdrew her leg and followed Chen Jiangqiao out via another staircase in the inn. Turning the corner, Ji Xingyi saw Wang Zhe again: "Are you two alright?"
Wang Zhe, still dressed in his waiter's uniform, said with a proud look, "What could possibly happen between us!"
"Let's talk as we walk!" Chen Jiangqiao replied while wiping his face.
Led by Shi Tou, Chen Jiangqiao and Wang Zhe entered the Jin residence, but as soon as they entered, Wang Zhe sensed something was amiss. Shi Tou had suddenly brought two strangers into the house, and despite the tight security at the entrance, no one questioned them.
Wang Zhe immediately took precautions. Before Shi Tou could lead the two of them deep into the Jin residence, Chen Jiangqiao and Wang Zhe exchanged a glance, seized an opportunity to knock Shi Tou unconscious halfway there, and led their men away.
Chen Jiangqiao helped Ji Xingyi to a secluded courtyard, where Shi Tou was tied up and thrown into a corner.
Chen Jiangqiao: "After we hid the stone here, we were preparing to take this message back when we got to the stairs and saw you guys fighting."
With so many people, a chaotic fight could easily break out, so Wang Zhe came up with a dirty trick: go downstairs and set a fire, then Chen Jiangqiao would disguise himself as a waiter to rescue Ji Xingyi.
"I'm telling you, you're an idiot! They outnumber you, so what's wrong with just pretending to lower your head!" Chen Jiangqiao couldn't help but scold Ji Xing, who was covered in injuries. "Just say a few words, it's not like we really want you to betray Jiang Lin, just get by for now! Why are you so stubborn!"
Wang Zhe retorted, "Why are you siding with outsiders? Don't you know what kind of person Jiang Lin is? How could he possibly betray Zhou Jue and Brother Bing? Why should we bow down to him?"
Chen Jiangqiao: "It's really hard to say."
“It wasn’t Jiang Lin. I know who did it.” Ji Xingyi leaned against the wall, panting. He had figured it out.
Ji Xingyi's original intention with that slash was to force back Fang Heng's attack, but Yu Ling pushed Fang Heng from behind, which led to Ji Xingyi accidentally killing Fang Heng.
Yu Ling did this only because he was the traitor.
Yu Ling harmed Zhou Jue, and Jiang Lin was a witness, so Yu Ling rushed back to frame Jiang Lin and instigated Chi Xuan to kill Ji Xingyi. As long as Ji Xingyi is dead, Jiang Lin will definitely take revenge, and then Zhou Jue's matter will become unimportant.
However, both Chi Xuan and Su Yuning felt that sparing Ji Xingyi's life would force Jiang Lin to come out. Yu Ling was afraid that the truth would come out, so she simply let Ji Xingyi accidentally kill Fang Heng.
Wang Zhe was a little confused: "Why would he kill his teammate?"
Chen Jiangqiao's face was grim: "Because Fang Heng is dead, everyone saw that he killed him! Even if Jiang Lin didn't betray Zhou Jue and Jingkang, it's useless now!"
Wang Zhe felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but scratch his head: "So now, we not only have to fight the dungeon boss, but also other players? Good heavens, this is really terrible luck!"
