Despite being so badly injured, and with his physical condition clearly far inferior to Chen Xiao's, he was still able to stand up with difficulty while Chen Xiao had already collapsed!
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the man in the top hat to his left. He found that the man in the top hat to his left also looked tired and weak, and his face was much paler than before. There was some sweat on his forehead!
I spotted the two guys holding hands again...
Yes!
That's how it is!!!
There must be some other way between these two that allows the damage to be shared between them!
The same injury, if shared between two people, will be much easier to bear!
That must be it!
The man in the top hat on the right was still forcing a smile: "Now, it's time to get serious."
As he spoke, he extended a finger and gently pressed it against his throat...
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine!
Damn it! Was he going to stab him in the throat?!
According to the mirror image technique, wouldn't that mean my own throat would also be...?
Chen Xiao struggled fiercely, trying to concentrate his mental energy towards the other person...
Just then, the Yaksha, who had been lying on the ground laughing hysterically and helplessly, suddenly stopped laughing!
Then the guy lying on the ground suddenly vanished from his spot! The next instant, he flickered and seemed to appear between the two men in top hats!
The Yaksha suddenly made this move, and a spatial distortion suddenly appeared where he instantly moved!
A spatial rift, indescribable in words, suddenly formed!
Cut!
This is a true rupture! They are still standing hand in hand, but after that distorted sense of separation, it's as if the two people in front of you are a photograph: although the two people are still holding hands in the photograph, there is an invisible pair of scissors that has cut the photograph in half!
The spatial separation caused the two to be separated!
"Quickly! Now!!"
Yaksha let out a weak and agitated roar!
Although Chen Xiao was surprised by Yaksha's sudden change, he had no time to hesitate! He unleashed the mental power he had already gathered towards the two of them with frenzied force!
Wave!!
All the psychic power was released instantly, like a shockwave. Countless psychic powers were intertwined, as if forcibly tearing something apart!
The man in the top hat on the right paled. Seeing the psychic wave hitting him, he yelled and plunged his finger fiercely into his own throat...
The man in the top hat on the left raised his hand, and an icy blade instantly solidified in his palm, which he slashed down fiercely at the head of the Yaksha who had teleported to his side...
boom!!!!
The telekinetic energy spread out like a dense net, enveloping the two men in top hats. However, the man in the top hat on the left slashed his ice blade hard across Yaksha's neck, and a spurt of blood gushed out. Yaksha's shrill, miserable laughter abruptly stopped, and instantly, the feeling of spatial rupture vanished!
Their hands seemed to be connected again!
A dense net of telekinesis, like countless crisscrossing cutting forces, instantly enveloped the two. The man in the top hat on the left yelled, his entire body instantly covered in a thick layer of ice. He then moved sideways, shielding his companion on the right behind him…
Chen Xiao also felt a sharp pain in his throat, his vision went black, and he collapsed...
After a long while, Chen Xiao felt a gentle hand stroking his eyelids. Under the caress of those soft fingers, his heavy and sluggish eyelids seemed to gradually lose their weight, and he slowly opened them...
He was still lying in that filthy sewer space, surrounded by a mess of ruins, with bloodstains on the ground.
The two men in top hats had vanished, but Yaksha lay there, his body stiff as a dead dog, only his chest rising and falling slightly. His neck had been brutally slashed open, his throat gushing blood!
Phoenix knelt beside Chen Xiao, cradling his head in her lap with one hand and gently stroking his eyelids with the other. As Chen Xiao awoke, a single tear suddenly welled in Phoenix's eyes and fell onto Chen Xiao's face—icy cold!
Chen Xiao swallowed subconsciously, but found that the pain in her throat had subsided, and she breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she spoke, her voice was hoarse: "You...cried?"
Phoenix's eyes reddened, and she asked tearfully, "Chen Xiao...do you resent me?"
“Resent you? Why…” Chen Xiao lay there, looking up into the phoenix’s eyes.
"I sent you... and I let you deal with them all by yourself, while I didn't even show my face." Phoenix looked at Chen Xiao with some unease in her eyes: "Will you blame me? Will you think I have ulterior motives?"
"I don't blame you." Chen Xiao closed his eyes, but a peaceful smile appeared on his face: "You asked me to do it, so I did it... I believe you, you must have your reasons. Yes, that's right, I, I just believe you."
Upon hearing this, Phoenix felt no relief whatsoever; instead, her tears flowed even more freely.
Her voice was trembling with tears: "Bear with the pain... I'll make sure you're out of pain right away."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, her soft smile gently tracing a path down Chen Xiao's face, her palm sliding over his shoulder, over his body, and then to the wound on his thigh...
Those fair and delicate little hands seemed to possess some kind of magic. Wherever her hands slid, the original wounds immediately and invisibly began to heal automatically. The tender granulation tissue gently wriggled and grew, and soon the skin and flesh were restored to their original state, and the skin also healed.
It felt as if a gentle, cool breeze had flowed through my body, gradually dispelling the burning pain...
Chen Xiao could clearly feel the pain disappearing quickly, and his body felt increasingly relaxed, but his expression became strange.
Finally, he felt his injuries healing, and immediately sat up, touching his shoulders and thighs...
"Yi??"
