1345 Was She Going to Die?
At night, the moon was bright, and the stars were few. It was humid after the rain.
Two black figures quietly sneaked into the night and fused with the world.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel, Jian Ai looked at the neon lights on the street outside in her sleeping robe. After a long time, she sighed.
Tonight, Robert and Gale took action. She, who had initially planned to take part in the mission, did not go. Although she had agreed, Jian Ai felt a little regretful.
She focused on cultivation. Although she could not compare to the twelve guards, Jian Ai felt that her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. She initially thought that she could test her abilities this time, but she did not expect plans to change so quickly.
For some reason, Jian Ai felt that after she successfully advanced, there was always a faint restlessness in her body. Yu Wuyuan said that this was because of the power of blood. But she had not awakened the power of blood yet and did not know how to control it.
Since she couldn’t control it, Jian Ai let it move restlessly in her body. However, after a while, Jian Ai couldn’t help but want to release it.
This was a good opportunity, but because of the unknown danger, she could not take part.
“Sigh, forget it…”
Sighing, Jian Ai returned to the sofa and poured a glass of wine. This was not something she should think about now. The only thing she cared about now was if Robert and Gale could return safely.
However, as she waited, Jian Ai fell asleep.
The room was silent. Occasionally, honking sounds from the hotel downstairs could be heard through the open window. Jian Ai was sleeping peacefully, but the door of the room was secretly unlocked from the outside.
The door was slowly pushed open from the outside. Under the dim corridor light, a figure in black appeared at the door.
That figure was slender. He had a cap lowered so that she could not see his appearance.
Click.
The man in black locked the door from the inside. He turned around and looked at the petite figure leaning against the sofa through the bottom of his hat.
She was a very pretty Asian girl. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her long legs were vaguely visible under her sleeping robe, making her look more sexy.
However, he was not here to admire beauty. The man in black flipped his right hand, and a sharp dagger fell from his sleeve. He held it firmly in his palm.
As he approached step by step, Jian Ai lay on the sofa without moving. She looked like she was sleeping deeply and did not notice the danger approaching.
The man came to the sofa and slowly raised the dagger in his hand. In the dark night, the dagger’s mirror-like blade shone with a cold light. Unexpectedly, under the refraction of the neon lights opposite the building, the shadow of a dagger flashed across Jian Ai’s peaceful sleeping face.
Seeing this, the man in black thought to himself, ‘Oh no.’ He immediately waved his dagger.
Unexpectedly, at the same time, Jian Ai felt the cold light and instantly opened her eyes. What she saw was a bright dagger aimed at her chest.
Jian Ai subconsciously grabbed the other party’s hand and kicked him in the jaw.
“Ah!”
The man couldn’t dodge in time and was hit by Jian Ai’s fast reaction. He instantly retreated five to six steps before stabilizing himself.
Jian Ai quickly turned around and stood up. She retreated and pulled away, instantly sobering up.
“Who is it?!” Jian Ai looked at the other party, but she couldn’t see his face.
The man rubbed his chin in pain, but he could not stop the blood from flowing from the corner of his mouth. Jian Ai had used strength in her kick just now. The other party did not expect this girl, who looked to be underage, to be so agile. He was careless!
Without a word, the man threw the dagger in his hand.
Jian Ai narrowed her eyes and waved her hand. A chair beside her flew out.
Bang! The chair and the dagger collided in the air and fell to the ground.
Jian Ai didn’t stop. She waved her hands at the same time, and the other chair and the floor lamp beside her flew out and smashed towards the opposite side.
Controlling things was the first mental cultivation technique she had mastered. Now, she could use it freely. Jian Ai could throw out the weight of a car from afar.
She was an ability user!
The man was secretly shocked. It was obvious that he knew nothing about Jian Ai before today.
His figure flashed, and the man vanished from the spot, leaving behind a shadow that was left behind because his speed was too fast!
The chair and lamp smashed into the wall and shattered. Jian Ai suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming from her side!
She subconsciously turned her head to look, but before Jian Ai could react, she felt her throat stop. A pair of hands as hard as pliers restrained her neck.
Due to inertia, the force pressed Jian Ai to the ground. Jian Ai grunted in pain and frowned in pain.
This person was so fast!
“Do you want to kill me?”
The man finally spoke. His low voice was very magnetic, but it carried a danger that could not be ignored.
Jian Ai’s body stiffened.
Could this person be their target?
Why was he here when Gale and Robert were taking action tonight? Could it be that Gale and Robert had already…
Jian Ai didn’t dare to think too much about it. She immediately lay on the ground and looked at the other party. At this moment, she saw this man’s appearance clearly. He was a thin middle-aged man who had lost his appearance and had a sickly expression.
However, with his strength, he did not seem to be sick.
With her throat locked, Jian Ai’s breathing became abnormally difficult. Not long after, her face turned red, and she couldn’t say a word.
The man’s obscure eyes watched Jian Ai struggle and die under his hands with interest.
The world in her eyes became blurry. Jian Ai felt that her strength was about to be sucked out. The feeling that her consciousness and body were about to leave became more obvious, as if something was sucking her soul.
Was this the feeling of death?
Jian Ai thought unwillingly. Was she going to die here today?
No! She could not die! She could not die here!
A strong determination suddenly appeared in her remaining consciousness. The desire to live was like a raging wave that poured into Jian Ai’s limbs and bones, making her blood boil and her entire body heat up.
It was not the hot blood she had imagined, but the temperature was getting hotter. Jian Ai felt her entire body burning. Her blood seemed to reach a boiling point, and it was even burning her skin!
The man initially thought that Jian Ai had at most five seconds to live, but he did not expect her skin to suddenly heat up. Before he could react, his hand that was wrapped around the other party had already been scalded.
When he focused his gaze, he saw the girl was completely blood-red. She looked strangely like a demon from another world.
