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.

Feeling the strangeness of Wandering, the middle-aged man said with a deep voice, "Tian, why aren't you going and bringing the little girl over? What are you hesitating for?"

You Tian lowered his arms as he looked at Lin Xiao with a complex expression. His voice became softer and softer, "Martial Uncle, I …"

"Useless thing." The middle-aged man looked at You Tian with disappointment. He personally went up to Lin Xiao and shot a ray of light at her without any hesitation.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

The finger light was obstructed on the surface of Lin Xiao's body. It emitted a sound similar to the burning of firewood, and finally disappeared into thin air.

"A flame that is said to be able to burn even demonic essence. It really does live up to its name." Instead of being alarmed, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. He knew that this was the automatic protector of the Netherworld Flame. It stopped at the surface of the user's body to block incoming damage.

A silver spear appeared out of thin air in the middle-aged man's hand.

"To use the Silver Dragon Spear that you have followed me to cultivate for many years to free you, you are already worthy of being proud of."

The spear in the middle-aged man's hand trembled as it flew out, piercing towards Lin Xiao.

"Bam!"

Dust flew in the air and a large amount of dust floated in the air due to the attack. For a moment, it actually blocked everyone's line of sight.

The room was filled with smoke.

"This is bad!" The middle-aged man sensed something and shouted angrily, "Quickly chase them! They went upstairs."

In the stairwell, Lin Xiao, covered in injuries, held onto Long Xuan with one hand and supported by the wall with the other as she limped her way up.

"Brother Lin Xiao, don't die." Long Xuan's eyes were misty as she used her sleeves to wipe away the blood on the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth, but it seemed as if it could not be wiped completely as it once again flowed out.

Lin Xiao did not have the mood to comfort Long Xuan, nor did he have the strength to comfort her. Being able to avoid that fatal blow and escape with Long Xuan was already beyond the limits of his body.

When the smoke cleared, they would understand that they had escaped, perhaps even before the smoke cleared. Lin Xiao tried his best to stall for time with Long Xuan.

He had originally wanted to escape to the streets, but after considering the number of people, he decided not to act rashly. However, after thinking about how the middle-aged man could dream of using an anti-human and anti-scientific ability like Great Dream, and how he might get angry from embarrassment and kill him, he couldn't help but change his mind.

Lin Xiao coughed out a mouthful of blood, feeling a bit more comfortable. He could already sense that You Tian and the rest were chasing after them. They would catch up very soon.

"Bam."

As the door to the top floor was pushed open, Lin Xiao fell to the ground like a sandbag, smashing Long Xuan into the ground.

"Brother Lin Xiao." Long Xuan wanted to help Lin Xiao up, but the latter's body was too heavy for her to lift.

"Kid, you sure know how to run." At the entrance of the top floor, the middle-aged man and his group had already arrived.

This was within Lin Xiao's expectations. He knew that he couldn't hide it from You Tian and the rest for too long.

"You captured her for the Netherworld Flame in her body, right?" Half of Lin Xiao's face was stuck to the ground, unable to move. With great difficulty, she opened her mouth and said, "Let us go. I will give you the Netherworld Flame within my body."

You Tian looked at Lin Xiao who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, unable to move, and said, "You still have the qualifications to negotiate?"

The middle-aged man stepped forward with the gun in his hand. Lin Xiao's escape caused him to be a little angry. He viciously said, "Don't worry. I'll take your Netherworld Flame. I'll also take her Netherworld Flame. You can go first."

The silver spear ruthlessly pierced towards Lin Xiao's face.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes. He no longer had the strength to dodge, and was doomed to die. At this moment, all of this time was slowing down, whether it was Long Xuan's cries or the silver spear piercing towards him.

It is said that a second before a person dies, they will let him recall his life. Is this slowing down to let me recall my life? Lin Xiao bitterly smiled, wasn't my life just a poor word?

"Netherworld Flame? "Let's see if you have the ability to take it!"
