The Signal Flare that exploded from Ao Xi's direction told him everything—she was in trouble.
He moved with incredible speed, his figure a mere phantom as he streaked through the forest.
Before long, Jiang Chen was near Ao Xi's position.
As he arrived, he saw another figure emerge from the edge of the woods from a different direction.
It was Tian Ci.
And Tian Ci noticed Jiang Chen as well.
His eyes fell on Jiang Chen, and he froze, clearly stunned.
Jiang Chen, however, hesitated for only a second before appearing by Ao Xi's side.
At that moment, Ao Xi was covered in blood.
Blood streamed continuously from her mouth.
"Ao Xi…"
Jiang Chen knelt, looking down at Ao Xi.
Ao Xi was still breathing.
But Jiang Chen knew his Elixirs couldn't save her. Her Life Force was fading too quickly.
"Be… careful…"
They were her last two words, faint and garbled, but Jiang Chen understood.
Then, he watched as the last of her breath left her body.
Jiang Chen rose, his face grim.
