Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City

Chapter 1558 - 1556: Resigned to Fate... This Is the Destiny of the Forlorn

Qiu Xi lay helplessly on the ground, unable to fend off Lan Zhengqing’s offensive.

She now only had half of her head left, her body devoid of flesh and blood, bones fractured haphazardly, making even the simple act of lifting her hand impossible, let alone standing up to flee or resist.

Even if Lin Fan dripped his own blood into her mouth, slightly easing her pain and temporarily saving her life.

But it was still impossible to withstand a deadly punch from Lan Zhengqing.

This was simply impossible!

As long as Lan Zhengqing’s fist reached Qiu Xi’s body.

Then.

Qiu Xi would surely face inevitable death!

And with Qiu Xi’s death, Lan Zhengqing’s true nature would forever remain concealed.

Even if people knew his true nature, without evidence, Lan Zhengqing would remain at large, beyond anyone’s confinement.

As long as he remained silent, no one would ever know.

Furthermore.

He would certainly not let those who witnessed him murder Qiu Xi survive; once Qiu Xi was slain, these people would become Lan Zhengqing’s next targets, dying one by one.

Qiu Xi finally felt a bit of comfort in her body, but saw Lan Zhengqing relentlessly charging at her.

Her heart thudded heavily.

Her heart was dead and ashen.

Until just moments earlier, when Lan Zhengqing attacked, she held onto a glimmer of hope, believing he momentarily lost his mind and didn’t intentionally aim to attack her.

But now it seemed.

Lan Zhengqing indeed intended to kill her, his purpose undeniably clear.

Why?!

Why?!

She shouted loudly in her heart, wanting to question Lan Zhengqing, but no sound emerged from her throat.

It was clearly Lan Zhengqing who pulled her out from despair and pain, yet now it was him thrusting her back into despair and pain. What kind of situation was this?

If she was ultimately meant to die in despair and pain, then why bother rescuing her from the quagmire in the first place?

Qiu Xi couldn’t understand, but she knew Lan Zhengqing was determined to kill her.

However.

She wasn’t ready to die yet.

She wanted to understand why all of this was happening?

Did Lan Zhengqing truly have not a shred of emotion toward her?

Was she really just a pawn to be discarded after being used?

Qiu Xi widened her beautiful eyes, staring unblinkingly at the onrushing Lan Zhengqing, directly into his eyes, without any trace of fear or panic.

She simply wanted an answer.

She wanted Lan Zhengqing to tell her personally, why this was happening!

Yet.

Lan Zhengqing remained silent, his eyes stripped of humanity, filled with ferocity, cruelty, frenzy, slaughter, and bloodshed!

His eyes conveyed only one message.

Kill Qiu Xi!

Qiu Xi’s eyes trembled, staring blankly into Lan Zhengqing’s.

Her clear pupils reflected Lan Zhengqing’s terrifyingly fierce fist, a violent pressure compressing the air, making her feel suffocated and oppressed.

"Die!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

Lan Zhengqing had become a madman, devoid of any reason.

At this point, trying to appeal to Lan Zhengqing’s emotions was nearly impossible.

Qiu Xi still made a final attempt, though she couldn’t speak, she hoped her gaze could restore some of Lan Zhengqing’s sanity.

Their eyes met, but no sparks flew.

Lan Zhengqing’s eyes resembled thousand-year-old icy ponds, cold and ruthless, excluding any warmth.

Unfeeling!

Indifferent!

Heartless!

Unkind!

Those icy eyes seemed as if they didn’t recognize Qiu Xi at all.

In those cold eyes, Qiu Xi was just an insignificant nuisance, not valued or powerful.

Her decades of hard-earned achievements meant nothing at this moment!

Qiu Xi gazed into Lan Zhengqing’s eyes, a lump in her throat, her nose tingling, overwhelming grief surged within her.

Tears, uncontrollable, flowed down.

This was her last hope; tears might melt Lan Zhengqing’s hardened heart, might touch him, and make him abandon his murderous intent.

But ultimately, Qiu Xi was left disappointed.

Lan Zhengqing remained unmoved by those crystalline tears, showing not a hint of concern.

Whether tears flowed or not made no difference to him.

Regardless, death was inevitable!

Lan Zhengqing remained expressionless, murderous aura surging like an infernal storm, sweeping in!

His eyes were on Qiu Xi, but in his mind, she was not Qiu Xi, but an enormous threat!

Only by eliminating this threat could he remain in the Five Elements Realm!

Thus, no reason could alter the situation, no options prevailed.

Qiu Xi, her brows furrowed, recognized that Lan Zhengqing’s hardened heart was beyond softening. Decades of effort had gone to waste, not touching Lan Zhengqing at all.

She accepted the reality; she was a pawn, a worthless one, readily abandoned.

Death was her ultimate fate.

Qiu Xi started to smile, her lips slightly curving, gently, she began to smile.

Like a plum blossom blooming amidst fierce wind and snow, proud and unyielding, defying the storm.

Having this experience, she found worth in her life.

At least.

She fought for the people, she tried and lived a life many could never experience.

This was enough.

She resigned to fate.

Previously, she never accepted fate, believing that through effort, she could change people’s perceptions, since Lan Zhengqing had supported them, offering opportunities.

But now, she understood it was all fate.

Things ordained by destiny cannot be changed.

Fate’s burden weighed on her shoulders, forcing her to bow, confronting hard realities, facing their predestined fate.

Slowly, Qiu Xi closed her eyes, and sighed deeply in her heart.

Helpless.

Frustrated.

At least she knew how she would die, unlike most others, who perished ignorantly on barren lands, without even a complete corpse.

But she wouldn’t leave a complete corpse either.

When Lan Zhengqing’s fist lands, she would turn into a mere blood mist, obliterated, blown away instantly by fierce wind and snow.

Yet this seemed alright, at least she’d spread throughout the Five Elements Realm.

To see those sights she’d never beheld before.

Since arriving at Blizzard Village, beyond missions, she hadn’t ventured out. Her only wish was to see Wenyu City properly.

Indeed! Wenyu City, so near, she never truly admired.

Now.

The winds and snow could carry her, to distant places.
