If it had been Meng Xinian’s usual skills, it wouldn’t have been difficult for him to avoid that kick, but now, nearly all his weight had to be supported by his left leg, which made his speed and movements quite sluggish.
And this leg injury was caused by being dragged down by a pig-headed teammate.
With a muffled sound, Meng Xinian managed to dodge the kick but couldn’t avoid the man’s punch aimed at his chest.
Only when his chest turned cold did he realize the fabric there had been sliced open, and beads of blood seeped from his chest.
The tall man brought his fist up to his lips, sinisterly licking an ornate ring on his knuckle, and that’s when Meng Xinian saw the sharp protrusion on the ring, still stained with his own blood.
The man gave a grim smile, revealing somewhat blackened teeth.
"You can’t kill me," he said with a smugness and excitement as if he had already envisioned Meng Xinian being tortured to near death.
"Is that so? Let’s try!"
Meng Xinian gritted his teeth and quickly went on the offensive.
His fists seemed to carry an endless force as he swung punch after punch at the man’s head.
The tall man couldn’t help but feel a surge of alarm; just moments ago, he had clearly seen that Meng Xinian’s right leg was utterly useless, but now, he was moving freely again! Even though he wasn’t as fast, he could still keep up with the punches.
This man truly had an iron will!
But that was even better!
They relished in tormenting such people! They loved to wait until the last moment, to see him crumble, crying and begging them to spare the ones he cared about!
Just the thought of that scene set his blood ablaze!
Chiang Xiao sprinted toward the small plaza, but suddenly, a dark shadow rushed towards her.
She instantly dodged to the side and quickly slipped into Space.
When the man got closer, she saw his deep-set eyes and high nose and instantly felt a chill in her heart!
At this time, what could a foreigner appearing in this vicinity be?
Aside from the two foreign assassins following Meng Xinian, who else could it be!
Chiang Xiao’s thoughts raced as quickly as her actions; she emerged from hiding just as he approached and threw a punch at the man’s vital point.
But to her surprise, the man suddenly ducked, avoiding her seemingly surefire surprise attack!
Chiang Xiao was instantly taken aback!
In that moment, she understood why Meng Xinian hadn’t been able to deal with these two for so many days!
They were indeed strong!
Whether it was their vigilance, skill, or reaction time, they were top-notch!
She had the complete advantage of a surprise attack, and he was still able to dodge; how strong would he be if he was prepared?
Sweat began to seep from Chiang Xiao’s palms.
There was no time to slip back into Space now.
For the man had spun around as soon as he dodged her punch and was now facing her.
His deep brown eyes locked onto her like a predator eyeing its prey.
"You," he spoke in a foreign language, which Chiang Xiao understood, "are an acquaintance of his."
Chiang Xiao didn’t respond, but her heart skipped a beat at the revelation.
Just from her attack, this man had identified her as someone who knew Meng Xinian?
Why had he run back this way? What was he after?
As her mind whirled, Chiang Xiao figured it out: he was probably chasing after Zhang Xiaomei!
If Zhang Xiaomei could suddenly recognize Meng Xinian after leaving, then this man might also realize the flaws in his assumptions after walking away for a bit!
If that was the case, where was Meng Xinian now?
