He only stopped when he hit a big tree.

Jiang Xiao winced in pain and hurriedly gave himself a Blessing.

Huh?

Where's the blessing?

Where's my healing power?

Oh… I don't have anymore Star Power.

Jiang Xiao tried to move his arm and reached his hand into his pocket, where he found the two Star Beads that Xia Yan had given him.

Fortunately, she had given him two Star Beads when they were sharing secrets. Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble.

Although Jiang Xiao was far away from the epicenter of the explosion, he was seriously affected by the explosive waves of Star Power.

As the Star Power surged into his body, Jiang Xiao frantically gave himself a Blessing.

A moment later, Jiang Xiao's gla.s.sy eyes became clear again and he touched his face which was covered in snow. Bearing with the pain of freezing snow, he raised his head and looked in the distance.

An empty spot had already been formed on the ground in the snowfield.

The trees fell and the thick snow on the ground was also blown up, exposing the soil layer below. At the edges of the explosion, the melted snow was still spreading out and had turned into water.

Jiang Xiao tried hard to get up and staggered forward. As the White Ghoul Star Bead replenished his Star Power, he gave himself another Blessing.

Bang…

Jiang Xiao, who was already trying his best to bear with the pain, suddenly fell onto the ground and took a long time to get up again.

As he approached the epicenter of the explosion, the depth of the soil increased and he saw a woman whose flesh had become torn and badly mangled after being blown up.

There was no longer any aesthetic appeal to her once-athletic body that was now covered in blood. Her flesh was exposed and her charred body had already coagulated.

There were plenty of changes to Second Last's body.

Meanwhile, the mercenary who was beside her was also blown up and had his flesh exposed because his clothes were all torn.

Most importantly… his body was perfectly complete!

It's actually in one piece!?!

Although he pa.s.sed out, his body could still be considered as tough as steel, for he didn't suffer any damage at all.

Is he even human?

Should a guy like him really exist in this world?

No wonder Second Last couldn't retaliate at all. This guy's defensive abilities are crazy, aren't they?

Jiang Xiao frantically crawled towards Second Last and grabbed her wrist, only to be filled with immense joy because she still had a pulse!

A weak pulse?

As long as you're still alive, I can heal you!

After coming to a decision, Jiang Xiao turned to look at the mercenary beside him who was perfectly unharmed. The scene was absolutely terrifying.

Jiang Xiao was unsure if the mercenary had died. He frantically grabbed his dagger and aimed it at the mercenary's Adam's apple.

Ding!

The cold and hard dagger seemed to have pierced into metal. Jiang Xiao couldn't stick it into his Adam's Apple at all. Due to the fact that Jiang Xiao used too much strength, the dagger slid down the mercenary corp's neck, causing sparks to appear.

Oh my G.o.d…

To Jiang Xiao's horror, he realized that he couldn't kill the man at all.

Even though he could not resist, Jiang Xiao could not break his defense.

Jiang Xiao panicked and hurriedly pried the mercenary's eyes open before stabbing him with the dagger!

Ding!

Are you superman?

Did you transmigrate from the Marvel comics?

I can't even pierce through your eyes?

Jiang Xiao again pried the mercenary corp's mouth open and tried to stab the inside of his mouth.

Ding!

F*** you…

Indeed, he isn't ordinary, especially since he had the guts to come to Huaxia and stir trouble.

Jiang Xiao tried to take the mercenary's pulse and realized that he seemed to still have a pulse.

Greatly astonished, he hurriedly pressed the mercenary's nose and mouth with one hand, and Second Last's face with his other to leave an imprint on her.

Ring~ Ring~ Ring~

The crisp and melodious bell rang, and the bouncing medical light hung on her crisp body, continuously healing her.

Hey! You can't die, you must survive for my sake.

Following the guidance of the imprint, the medical light shuttled between Jiang Xiao and Second Last continuously before finally dissipating.

Second Last's mangled flesh was constantly healing while she was weak and feeble.

Jiang Xiao was both surprised and elated. Although he was cupping the face of the mercenary with one hand, he did not know if that would suffocate him and cause him to die.

Should I run?

Even if this mercenary is going to revive, it's going to take him a while, won't it?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiao thought that he shouldn't take his life as a joke. Hence, he quickly stood up but stopped again as soon as he took a step.

The cold wind was blowing on his face and making him feel wide awake.

He definitely had a chance of running.

However, he could not just dump everything and leave.

Jiang Xiao turned around to see that Second Last's body was healing gradually. At least, she was no longer bleeding, right?

Jiang Xiao smacked himself on the head and gave Second Last another Blessing. He then grabbed her by her arm and pulled her up before placing her on his shoulder.

Oh gosh, why is she so heavy?

Jiang Xiao tried his best to take a step out as if he was carrying a huge bag of rice.

Jiang Xiao quickly dumped Second Last onto the ground as soon as he landed.

Reason being, several crimson gazes were fixed on him in the woods.

The roof was leaking!

Do you really not plan to leave a way out for me?

The violent explosion just now was really earth-shattering, and it attracted plenty of unwanted attention.

"White Ghouls, White Ghouls, White Ghouls." Jiang Xiao prayed, after which dozens of reddened eyes lit up in the snow forest!

There were plenty of them, and they were all daunting and terrifying.

That meant that the White Ghouls were in groups.

Jiang Xiao prayed that he wouldn't see…

However, life did not always go according to one's wishes.

He actually saw what he dreaded the most. To be more specific, he heard a unique wail.

"Si…"

It was the aged voice that was unique to the White Ghoul Witch.

There was a huge difference between a group of White Ghouls that had a White Ghoul Witch as their leader and one without.

I usually can't find you anywhere and yet, you've appeared at this juncture. How shameless!

After having experienced so much, Jiang Xiao found it hard to calm down. He took a deep breath and tried his best to think about what to do next.

Now, there was no way he could run anymore.

If Jiang Xiao's teammates were here, they would definitely be able to kill the White Ghouls.

However, how was he supposed to face a group of ferocious and hungry White Ghouls all by himself?

Not to mention, Jiang Xiao's Star Power was already depleting and he had already used up his Star Beads.

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes and sighed deeply. After a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Second Last at his feet.

The mercenary's body was as hard as steel and he couldn't use the Star Bead as a form of replenishment. However, he could rip Second Last's head apart.

Must I do this?

At the next moment, Jiang Xiao felt like he was stuck in a huge dilemma, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Jiang Xiao's heart was all wrenched up as he finally touched Second Last's skull with his trembling hands.

I…

Jiang Xiao immediately grabbed Second Last's arm and darted into the pit before throwing her body onto the spot beside the mercenary.

Jiang Xiao leaned forward and grabbed the mercenary's body and lifted it up with his Star Power. He then threw the mercenary onto the large pit.

All of a sudden, the countless White Ghouls vied with each other for the mercenary's body before dragging it away.

After the White Ghoul Witch wailed, numerous White Ghouls gathered above the pit.

Jiang Xiao looked up to see the red gazes near the pit.

The White Ghoul Witch is here, so the White Ghouls aren't distracted by the mercenary. d.a.m.n it.

Am I really going to be stuck here?

Don't they all say that there is always a way out?

Can you give me a way out?

It's obviously impossible to lug Second Last's body away.

Am I supposed to absorb Second Last's Star Bead, acquire a Star Technique, and make plans from there on?

Or should I leave Second Last behind and use her body as a meal for the White Ghouls so as to stall some time for myself?

Or do I stay here and try my best to revive her?

Uh…

A series of thoughts popped up in Jiang Xiao's mind, but he did not hesitate for too long. He soon decided what to do with his benefactor.

Jiang Xiao raised his hand and gave Second Last another Blessing.

Whoos.h.!.+

He added one Skill Point to his Star Power level and the Star Power surged out in ripples all of a sudden.

-

Star Power Upgrade! Stardust Level 7!

-

Jiang Xiao looked at the group of White Ghouls around him. He moved his neck with popping sounds and got into a fight stance.

I, Jiang Xiao, am a ruthless man!
