Chapter 448: Chapter 300: Aili, You Wouldn’t Want Me to Crush Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment, Would You? (2)

A fatal ambush.

The throat and heart.

The Twin Thieves’ attack was exceptionally fierce; when they acted, there was absolutely no forewarning, giving their opponent no chance to react.

Aili’s lips were even starting to curl up, as if she could already see Asina’s blood splattering on the spot, but at that moment, a cluster of rock-yellow light suddenly bloomed from Asina’s body.

Hiss...

The sharp Daggers ripped through the air, and unexpectedly, there was a sound like metal scraping against metal, as blinding sparks flew from both Daggers.

Rock Armor!

Earth Defense Magic materialized from Asina’s body at the last fraction of a second, blocking the two lethal Daggers.

Impressive, Asina truly deserved her reputation.

Qin Chu, also standing atop a tree in the jungle behind, did not skimp on his praise.

Asina’s reaction was perfect, her timing was spot on; had it been a fraction of a second later, the Dagger would have torn through her throat.

For Magicians, Thieves could be considered their bane.

Magicians possessed great destructive power, especially in large-scale wars, akin to mobile artillery, their unrestrained Magic causing casualties en masse for the enemy.

But, contrary to their immense destructive capabilities, was their fragile physique.

The sharp ambush of a Thief, the arrows of an archer, often dealt fatal damage to a Magician, let alone an ambush carried out simultaneously by two Thieves of equal caliber.

However, although this ambush was thwarted, Asina’s situation was still far from good.

Of course, Qin Chu had no intention of going over to help.

The rebounding force from the shield spread, Aileen and Aili’s faces changed color as their bodies quickly retreated, but they still surrounded Asina, one on each side, their expressions exceptionally grim.

They really hadn’t expected Asina to react at such a critical moment... Considering their own attack was so fierce, it only proved one thing: this woman had been wary of them from the very beginning.

Such a cunning and deceitful woman.

She didn’t even trust her own close teammates, pah, shameless.

Aili complained inwardly, completely forgetting that her own actions were actually worse.

It couldn’t be helped; in the hearts of those extremely self-centered, everything they did was right and anything that others did, if it deviated in the slightest from their wishes, was wrong.

Asina’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes briefly caught sight of the two petite figures.

Aili gently clapped her hands, "Ms. Asina, you’re really amazing. You even managed to dodge that."

"Did you know we were going to act all along?" Aili raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.

She was somewhat unconvinced; she thought she had hidden herself quite well, but to her surprise, she had been seen through by Asina.

"I had privately contacted Silf before..." Asina spoke calmly: "Silf said you two were planning to get rid of her through Luo Meng’s hands... Although I had trouble believing that you, as longstanding members of the Hero Team, would actually turn on an old teammate... it now seems that a little vigilance was quite necessary."

Tsk!

Aili pursed her lips, realizing it was that shameless Elf, Silf.

Always blabbering, she had to find a way to cut off that Elf’s tongue when she got back.

After a pause, Asina spoke again: "Why?"

"Why what?" Aili tilted her head, seemingly confused, as she moved slowly around Asina, appearing not to have any intention of making a move, as though she were just taking a walk. Suddenly, she seemed somewhat adorable as she patted her head: "Ah, are you asking about the attack on you? What else could it be, don’t you think Brother Jie Luo has too many girls around him?"

"I really don’t want to see Brother Jie Luo revived and still surrounded by so many girls... Just me... mhm, and sister is enough."

"What right does a shameless, big-chested woman like you, who flaunts her body to seduce Brother Jie Luo, have to stay by his side?"

Aili glared spitefully at Asina’s graceful figure, taking a quick glance, pah, what’s so great about that? It’s just a bit more flesh, isn’t it?

"Asina, you don’t think you have the ability to fight against both of us sisters at the same time, do you?"

"If you could obediently hand over Brother Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment, maybe Aili could grant you a quicker death."

Asina’s lips moved slightly, and then she finally spoke: "Do you think that’s possible?"

Aili and Aileen failed to notice that some pale green mist was slowly spreading on the ground.

That was the power of Plague!

Although Asina was rather reluctant to use the weird power bestowed by the Evil God, she had to admit it was quite effective.

Especially under the current special circumstances, the power of Plague spread silently and invisibly, undetectable even to powerful Thieves.

Asina was doing her best to buy time, waiting for the Plague to spread, waiting for the Thief Twins’ bodies to be infected with disease, weakening them.

Aileen also exhaled softly: "It seems negotiations have failed."

The moment her voice fell, Aileen’s figure disappeared abruptly.

Aili, however, maintained a smile, continuing to circle around Asina as if taking a leisurely stroll, seemingly without any intention of attacking, yet she monopolized much of Asina’s attention, preventing her from sensing Aileen who had vanished from view.

The hidden Aileen could strike with the most fatal attack at any moment.

Any part of the body could become the target of Aileen’s ambush, and that fear made Asina’s skin prick with apprehension... One in the light, and one in the shadows, Asina was forced to split her focus, daring not to relax for even a moment. If she did, Aileen and Aili would immediately launch their attack.

The coordination between the two sisters was perfect; they would make rational use of their advantages, able to oppress the opponent’s spirit without even making a move.

The small hand gripping the magic wand was sweaty and damp.

As time ticked by, the pressure on Asina became stronger and stronger. Although neither side had made a move, the atmosphere was more terrifying and tense than a real battle.

Under normal circumstances, Asina wasn’t afraid of the twins. Even if she wasn’t their match, she believed she could still save her own life. However, her spirit had been severely depleted due to her earlier exploration of Jie Luo’s soul fragment, and intermittent sharp pains in her brain left her with no time to recover before facing the threat posed by the twins.

At this rate, even Asina was struggling to hold on.

She could feel that her spirit wouldn’t last much longer.

Qin Chu, hidden in the forest behind, was also curious about the situation and wondered how Asina would extricate herself from this predicament.

This woman was definitely not the type to accept a hopeless situation.

"Aren’t you going to help? She might really die, you know, and then you’d lose a tool..." Shaye lay on Qin Chu, asking with a hint of suspicion.

Qin Chu was unconcerned: "Don’t worry, she won’t die..."

His gaze shifted to the nearby figure of the Daughter of Death, Ireta, draped in black clothing and black silk: "The Acting Death God is here, so if she really dies, you could just open a backdoor for her, right? There shouldn’t be a problem then?"

Ireta was speechless. Was her authority as the Death God meant to be used to open backdoors?

Just then, Asina suddenly took a deep breath, and the next second, the soul fragment unexpectedly appeared in her palm.

Huh? Was she about to surrender?

Qin Chu was puzzled; this didn’t fit Asina’s style.

The gaze of Aili was instantly drawn to the soul fragment, and even Aileen’s figure emerged from the background.

The eyes of the two sisters flashed rapidly with excitement.

"Ms. Asina, you’re a bit smarter after all. It would have been so much better if you had done this earlier."

Aili gasped for air: "Quick, throw me Jie Luo’s soul fragment. Don’t worry, I’ll let you die quickly and painlessly, I promise you won’t feel any suffering..."

As if...

For a woman whose body was better than her own, it was necessary to torment her severely. Killing her outright would be such a waste.

However, what Aili and Aileen didn’t expect was that Asina’s face only showed a dismissive smile, the smooth soul fragment rolling quickly in her palm between two fingers: "Give it to you, what are you dreaming of?"

Huh?

Aili was at a loss for a moment.

If you don’t intend to give me the soul fragment, then why bring it out?

At that moment, Asina took a deep breath:

"Aili... you wouldn’t want me to crush Jie Luo’s soul fragment, would you?"

Pfft...

Qin Chu couldn’t hold back and let out a slight sound, but fortunately, the three women far away were all highly focused, and nobody noticed the noise here.

Watching Asina surrounded and in trouble, Qin Chu speculated in his heart on several methods she might use to escape but didn’t expect it to end up being like this.

Fallen, haven’t you?

Asina, you’ve fallen.

You were not like this before, when did you learn to be so bad, who taught you?

As for Asina’s fall, Qin Chu felt deeply saddened.

Meanwhile, Aili and Aileen were stunned, their slow-moving steps halting. They stared foolishly at Asina, as if they doubted their own ears.

"Asina, what are you talking about? If you crush the soul fragment, then brother Jie Luo..."

"I’m already on the verge of death, do you think I care?" Asina coldly interrupted Aili’s words. She left out one thing: since one piece had already been crushed, Jie Luo could never be revived anyway.

Aili’s lips trembled slightly; her originally cheerful smile could no longer be maintained: "Hehe, no, Asina, you wouldn’t do that..."

"Want to bet?" Asina raised an eyebrow.

She made a motion as if exerting force on the fragment.

Both Aileen and Aili frowned tightly, their eyes filled with anger and resentment. After staring at Asina for a long while, they suddenly retreated and vanished into the jungle in an instant.

Whether the soul fragment was intact was tied to Jie Luo’s possible revival. They couldn’t afford to gamble.

Even after the Thief Twins disappeared, Asina maintained a highly focused state, not relaxing in the slightest and continuously clutching Jie Luo’s soul fragment.

A long time passed before Asina finally lifted her feet and moved forward, her senses still spreading, ready to react swiftly if Aili and Aileen appeared.

But, after taking just a few steps, Asina suddenly felt a pain in her ankle. Looking down, she saw a gash in her black tights—and on her skin beneath—deep enough to show bone.

There, stretched tightly across the path in front of her, was a metal wire.

It was as if Asina had quietly released a plague. Although it seemed Aili simply walked around Asina to draw her attention, she had in fact been laying layers of traps in the ground around them already.

Almost having her ankle severed, Asina’s complexion drastically changed.

That wasn’t all. A metal wire suddenly sprang from the ground and, with a hiss, wrapped around the soul fragment. Asina felt it slip from her fingers as the soul fragment was snatched away.

Asina, your skills are still too shallow.

Qin Chu muttered to himself. If it had been him in her place, he would never have given Aili and Aileen the slightest chance...
