Chapter 298: The Terror of the Yang Flame Needle
Xiao Feiyu couldn’t hold on any longer. The force behind him was speeding towards him, and if it hit, he feared it would be the end of his life.
Jiang Ruoxi was still mocking him. Gritting his teeth, Xiao Feiyu turned and exited the highway. This area was already on the outskirts of Donghai City, a better place for a confrontation, though he was sure he couldn’t defeat Su Lin.
Thinking this, he smashed the steering wheel hard. He was too unwilling to accept defeat, having come this far. Clenching his teeth so hard, nearly crushing them, Xiao Feiyu adjusted his breathing and drove directly toward an open area in the wilderness.
The car skidded across the barren land and came to an abrupt stop.
“Ah–” Jiang Ruoxi was terrified by the sudden braking. She regained her senses and furiously scolded Xiao Feiyu: “Are you really crazy?! Can’t you even drive?!”
Xiao Feiyu chuckled coldly, got out of the car, and rushed toward Jiang Ruoxi. He opened the car door, and before Jiang Ruoxi could react, he had already grabbed her by the neck.
“Yes, I am crazy! Since I can’t escape Su Lin, even if I die, I must take someone with me to the grave!” Xiao Feiyu’s eyes were bloodshot as he tightly gripped Jiang Ruoxi’s neck.
The operation was definitely a failure; he couldn’t let himself go empty-handed! Jiang Ruoxi struggled as the air thinned. She had not expected Xiao Feiyu to be so deranged as to want to die together… Her mind was becoming increasingly unresponsive.
“Even if Su Lin is as formidable as he is, he can’t possibly get here in time to save you. Today, you will…” Before he could finish his sentence, a flame pierced through the air, shattering the windshield and then striking Xiao Feiyu’s arm.
Xiao Feiyu immediately released Jiang Ruoxi, letting out a scream. What was happening…? He looked closely and realized it was a silver needle.
This was… Xiao Feiyu trembled, hardly believing what he suspected. He had sensed Su Lin was at least two hundred meters away before arriving at this place. Two hundred meters… How did Su Lin do it?
“Overestimating your own abilities,” a voice came from not far away, and Xiao Feiyu looked towards the direction of the sound.
The newcomer was none other than Su Lin. The silver needle was Su Lin’s signature move, the Taiyi Divine Needle’s Yang Flame Needle! And his arm…
Xiao Feiyu took a deep breath, realizing his arm was now completely powerless. The pain in his arm was intense, as if it had penetrated into the bones.
“You were hit by my full-strength Yang Flame Needle, you might as well forget about this arm,” Su Lin said with a cold laugh.
Jiang Ruoxi, released by Xiao Feiyu, was gasping for air and also heard Su Lin’s voice. She weakly looked through the shattered car window and saw a figure standing there. Just seeing him there gave Jiang Ruoxi a sense of peace.
She mustered all her remaining strength, pushed the car door open, and rolled directly onto the ground. Su Lin also saw this, moved swiftly over using the Traceless In The Snow technique, and caught Jiang Ruoxi with one hand just as she almost rolled out of the car door.
He pulled the woman back a few steps. Jiang Ruoxi, who thought she was about to make contact with the ground, unexpectedly found herself in a gentle embrace. She slowly lifted her head, and the person she had just been thinking about was right before her eyes.
“Su Lin…” Jiang Ruoxi murmured, her eyes welling up with tears in an instant. Facing Xiao Feiyu’s deadly grip, she had not felt like crying. But seeing Su Lin in that moment made her feel safe and profoundly wronged. She sniffled, and big tears fell down her cheeks.
Su Lin gently wiped the tears from her face with a gentle smile, “It’s alright, I’m here.”
Jiang Ruoxi then noticed Li Ziyu driving up. “Sister Ruoxi, are you alright?” Li Ziyu hurried down from the car.
Seeing Su Lin holding the weakened Jiang Ruoxi, she breathed a sigh of relief. She approached, and Su Lin immediately told Li Ziyu about Jiang Ruoxi’s escape from death.
“Take her to the car to rest, and drive the car further away,” Su Lin instructed, then turned his cold gaze back to Xiao Feiyu, who was still clutching his right arm.
“The needle I used was my full strength; that arm of yours is effectively useless now.”
Xiao Feiyu gave a cold laugh, “I’m well aware that I’m just a peak grandmaster and no match for you, a human immortal.”
Having such self-awareness? Perhaps Xiao Feiyu should be allowed to despair even more.
Su Lin toyed with the silver needle in his hand and said, “Indeed, you stand no chance against me now. You sent Zhao Changlin to stop me, but I left him seriously injured, and Wang Yannian is almost in the same condition.”
“Even two human immortals combined couldn’t defeat me, your abilities really aren’t up to par.”
