Chapter 449: A Difficult Choice
Seizing this opportunity, the four men pounced at once, two restraining Ning Qi’s arms and two holding onto her legs. They used their strength and body weight to pin her down, rendering her unable to stand.
"Damn it, get off me!" Ning Qi was powerful, but she couldn’t throw off the four men. All she could do was struggle fiercely.
Gu Fan held on tightly, feeling Ning Qi’s immense strength writhing beneath him. He knew their current strategy was a merely temporary constraint, rather than a final solution.
"Xiaoling, it’s all on you now." Everyone’s hopes were pinned on Gu Ling. Ning Qi, too, knew she couldn’t let Gu Ling find her true form, so she struggled even more fiercely, threatening to throw off Xu Haowen.
"Everyone hold on, just hold on for a while longer." Gu Fan yelled, putting all he had into restraining Ning Qi.
Ning Qi, controlled by Qian Ying, never tired or fainted, and her fighting power was inexhaustible. This was just how fearsome Qian Ying could be -- though her weakness was all too apparent: Qian Ying had little ability to protect herself.
Time, they just needed to hold on a little longer to win. Gu Fan gritted his teeth and persevered, but Xu Haowen was quickly losing control. Thrown off by a strong push of Ning Qi’s foot, he was soon flung away entirely.
"Finally managed to get rid of one." Ning Qi sneered, delivering a swift kick towards Gu Fan.
Knowing he couldn’t get hit, Gu Fan released his hold and quickly rolled to the side. He was successful in his evasion, but not without breaking into a cold sweat.
