300 Lingchi!

Xiao Zhiren was stunned to his place with the gun in his hand that he had snatched from Ling Qiaolian's hands. He didn't even realize when the trigger was pulled in their own struggle. He felt his feet were stuck to the ground as he looked over to Ru's side with a horrified look.

"Xiao Xue!!"

Ru only heard the shout from behind her but had no clue what was going on. And when that name rang in her mind, it seemed to have transported her mind to a dream she had seen. Only now she knew that the dream was indeed just a twisted reflection of her future. In the dream, the man who stabbed her with a sword was Xiao Zhiren. And while she jumped off the cliff, someone had called out, 'Xiao Xue' with the same tone. At that time, she had been wondering who was Xiao Xue. Now she could only laugh at herself knowing that her full name was, Ximen XiaoXue.

She only registered the world around her when the clang of metal against metal buzzed right behind her.
