Chapter 80

Jiang Ruoxue's words left both Lao Lu and Zhang Chenze somewhat dazed.

But the situation was urgent, and there was no time for too much thought.

Zhang Chenze took three deep breaths, grabbed a piece of glass, and rushed out.

At this moment, Qi Xia was taking off her outer coat and tying it around her arm, trying to deal with the two men.

"Qi Xia! I'm here to help you!" Zhang Chenze raised the broken glass and stood beside Qi Xia.

"Help me?! Are you crazy?" Qi Xia gritted her teeth, "Get out of here!"

"It's okay..." Zhang Chenze seemed to be comforting himself, "We'll be fine..."

The blond thug, seeing Qi Xia distracted, immediately ran forward. If he could stab the knife into the other person's chest at this critical moment, everything would be over.

"Qi Xia, be careful!" Zhang Chenze took a step forward, tightly closed his eyes, and wildly thrust the glass forward.

The blond thug found this scene amusing. Did the other person really think they could kill with a piece of glass?

He sidestepped to avoid the woman in front of him but didn't expect to step on a metal box on the ground.

"Ah?!"

His body tilted, and he immediately lost his balance, then lunged forward, hitting his throat on the glass.

"Cough... cough..." The blond thug immediately spat out a large amount of blood, "You..."

Qi Xia was stunned and quickly pushed the blond thug away.

Once free from the glass, his throat gushed blood like an open faucet.

"Ali!!" The bald thug shouted and quickly stepped forward to support his companion.

The bald thug repeatedly tried to cover the wound on the blond thug's throat, looking very panicked.

Qi Xia was also still in shock at the scene before her.

The metal box had fallen to the ground when she attacked the green-haired thug earlier, and it unexpectedly helped a lot...

What a lucky coincidence?

Zhang Chenze finally opened her eyes and suddenly found her hands covered in blood.

"Ah!!" She was frightened and quickly threw away the glass.

She had been talking about killing, but now that she had actually done it, the lawyer Zhang Chenze was visibly shaken.

Without hesitation, Qi Xia picked up the dagger that the blond thug had dropped from the ground as soon as Zhang Chenze threw away the glass.

The fight was not over, and they could not let their guard down.

"You bastards are asking for it!!" The bald thug roared like a madman and raised the dagger to slash at them.

Qi Xia immediately pushed Zhang Chenze into the room and then took several steps back.

This kind of uncontrolled attack was the hardest to avoid because it was impossible to predict where the attack would come from. Qi Xia could only try to keep a distance from the bald thug.

However, Qi Xia was at the end of the corridor, and in just a few steps, she was cornered.

Although both sides held daggers, Qi Xia's goal was just to survive, while the other side was like a mad dog.

"I'll take you down with me!!" The bald thug raised the dagger and swung it down fiercely. Qi Xia quickly dodged to the side.

Taking advantage of the missed attack, Qi Xia decisively slashed the thug's arm. She knew the cut was very deep, almost to the bone.

"If you want to die, come on!" Qi Xia threatened.

The bald thug completely ignored the pain from the wound and raised the knife to stab Qi Xia in the heart.

Qi Xia knew she couldn't dodge in time and quickly crouched down. The knife that should have pierced her heart instead stabbed her shoulder.

He let out a painful groan and immediately stabbed the thug's abdomen with his own dagger.

But the next second, the bald thug extended his left hand and firmly blocked Qi Xia's blade, and the dagger mercilessly pierced through his palm.

"Think you can kill me...?" The bald thug glared fiercely, "Have you ever killed anyone?!"

Before Qi Xia could answer, the bald thug viciously twisted the dagger in Qi Xia's shoulder, tearing a large piece of flesh.

"Ugh!!"

Qi Xia let out a painful scream, almost fainting from the pain.

At this moment, a fat figure suddenly rushed over and tightly hugged the bald thug from behind.

The bald thug was stunned, and the dagger in his right hand fell.

"Damn..." The bald thug, realizing that the person hugging him was the "traitor" Lao Lu, was even more furious, "Was it you who destroyed our key?"

Although Lao Lu was very scared, he still held on tightly, knowing that if he let go, Qi Xia would surely die.

The bald thug turned his left hand, pulled the dagger out of his bloody hand, and stabbed it into Lao Lu's rib.

"Ah?" Lao Lu was stunned, feeling something cold pierce his flesh, a sensation he had never experienced before.

The bald thug, gritting his teeth, pulled the dagger out and stabbed several more times.

Only then did Lao Lu feel the excruciating pain.

Lao Lu's body trembled, but he still did not let go. He opened his mouth and bit the bald thug's shoulder, twisting his head and tearing off a large piece of flesh.

The bald thug let out a howl and raised the dagger to finish Lao Lu, but Lin Ping suddenly appeared and stabbed his arm with a piece of glass.

"Qi Xia!! If you don't act now, Lao Lu will die!!" She shouted in panic.

This shout woke Qi Xia from the brink of unconsciousness. Although his entire left side was numb, this was not the time to fall.

After assessing the situation, his face turned pale, and he decisively pulled the dagger out of his shoulder and stabbed the bald thug's neck with a roar.

The bald thug instantly lost his strength, and everyone fell to the ground due to the loss of power.

"Lao Lu..." Qi Xia pushed the bald thug away and quickly checked Lao Lu's condition. But after just one glance, his voice began to tremble, "Lao Lu... how are you?"

Lao Lu lay on the ground, convulsing, with his left ribcage a bloody mess.

"Qi kid... you're not very smart in critical moments..." Lao Lu smiled bitterly, his face already pale.

"It's... I'm not as smart as you..." Qi Xia extended his trembling hands and pressed them firmly on Lao Lu's wound, but blood still flowed through his fingers, "Lao Lu, don't die... I haven't returned your ticket yet..."

"How could I die..." Lao Lu sighed, "Qi kid, if you knew my real name, you wouldn't worry..."

"What is it...?"

"Don't laugh..." Lao Lu smiled bitterly, "When I told others my real name, they always laughed..."

"I won't laugh... I promise I won't laugh." Qi Xia was trying to stop the bleeding, but the bald thug's attack was too vicious, and the blood wouldn't stop.

"My name is Lu Fengxian..." Lao Lu chuckled, "My parents gave me this name... doesn't it sound like I can't die?"

"You're the reincarnation of Lu Bu, of course you won't die..."

Qi Xia knelt on the ground, trembling.

Until his head was about to explode, until Lao Lu stopped moving.

...

Qi Xia pulled Lao Lu to his front and whispered, "There are a few things I need to tell you."

"Tell me?" Lao Lu was confused, "Qi kid, do you have a plan? The game is about to start, tell me quickly."

Qi Xia thought for a moment and said, "It's not really a 'plan.' Lao Lu, if they invite you to join, you can accept."

"What?" Lao Lu was stunned and then understood, "A 'double bluff'? I'll accept and then sabotage them from the inside..."

"No." Qi Xia shook his head, "Lao Lu, let's part ways here."

"Huh?"

"I've thought about it carefully. We've only known each other for a short time, and it wouldn't be safe for the whole team to risk their lives for you." Qi Xia explained seriously, "The best way is for you to leave the team early. Once the conflict starts, we won't have any pressure."

"You..." Lao Lu looked disappointed, like a child despite being a middle-aged, overweight man.

"I'm sorry, Lao Lu, I'm just making the best decision."

"Qi kid." Lao Lu suddenly interrupted, "You say you can't risk your lives for me, but I can."

"What?"

"Whatever your plan is, don't act yet. I'll show you my 'sincerity' first, and you can decide after you see it." Lao Lu said.

"But if we don't accept you at the last moment, you'll die." Qi Xia said.

"You're not that kind of person." Lao Lu smiled, "I've sold socks all my life, but I'm good at reading people in critical moments. Just wait and see!"

"Ah..." Qi Xia shook his head helplessly, "I understand, but I still won't fully trust you. We'll see how you perform."
