Chapter 145

"Flee to the place we discussed earlier?"

"But we didn't agree on any place at all..."

"This is already a dead end, where can I flee to!?"

She did not refuse immediately, but instead pondered in her heart what Ji Yao's purpose was.

Ji Yao is very smart; she must have her own ideas!

As long as I escape... he won't be able to kill Ji Yao and Yan Ze?

Suddenly, Jiang Yunqing realized the truth and immediately understood!

It only took a single instant!

The three of them had already completed many Tower Meeting missions as a team and had long since developed seamless coordination.

That was why she understood Ji Yao's true meaning in an instant!

It was that... Wu Meng's true target was herself!

And not Ji Yao or Yan Ze.

If he couldn't kill her, he wouldn't be able to collect the bounty!

And if she fled now while Ji Yao pretended to know her whereabouts, Wu Meng would have to keep the two of them alive to slowly interrogate them.

This was the only way, even if it wasn't a good one.

Jiang Yunqing knew that this time she really had to run; it was for the sake of their lives.

If she didn't leave, Yan Ze and Ji Yao would die immediately.

She absolutely could not let down Ji Yao's painstaking efforts to come up with this plan!

This time, she didn't hesitate at all.

With a determined look in her eyes, Jiang Yunqing immediately took a step and dove toward the back window.

Seeing Jiang Yunqing about to escape, Wu Meng's eyes turned vicious, and he threw out a shackled long whip, intending to bind her here.

That shackle was wrapped in a layer of vibrational energy, possessing immense power that sliced through the very air.

At this moment, the Red-Armored Undead Knight lunged forward and slashed out with a sword.

It struck the shackle down with its stone sword, pinning it firmly to the ground.

The knight poured all of its strength into it.

This strike was incredibly powerful, even more forceful than the previous one.

Because Ji Yao had raised her hand, using the last of her mental energy to increase the strength of her summoned creature in that instant!

It is truly difficult for a Second-Turn to control a Third-Turn, so Ji Yao had to use all her might.

A second later, Wu Meng used his other chained whip to shatter the knight's stone sword and finally retrieved his weapon.

He rushed to the broken window and looked outside.

Jiang Yunqing's petite figure had already vanished.

Her skill provided her with a 50-point agility bonus, making her speed ethereal.

An average novice class-changer only has 5 points of agility.

And she, right now, had fifty!

Added to her original agility attribute, her speed was no longer something an ordinary person could compare to.

Wu Meng was furious!

"Ahhhhh, damn it!!"

"I will torture you to death; I want you to tell me her whereabouts within thirty seconds!"

He walked toward Yan Ze and Ji Yao, the shackles in his hands scraping against the ground, creating a chilling, clattering symphony.

"Don't worry, my torture methods will definitely make you remember this for eternity!"

His face was hideous, and his eyes were filled with chilling murderous intent.

The fat duck that was in his hands had flown away, so he was naturally incensed.

Ji Yao and Yan Ze, however, let out a long sigh of relief at this moment.

There was no fear in their eyes.

Instead, their faces only held a bitter smile of relief.

"I won't lie to you, we don't know her whereabouts either."

Yan Ze said, his eyes even showing a hint of composure.

He looked at Ji Yao and praised, "Ji Yao, you are too smart."

"I didn't expect that in the end, it was... you who broke the deadlock..."

"Pfft..."

As Yan Ze spoke, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"It seems I've lost too much blood and my brain isn't clear either; this method... we should have thought of it sooner..."

His mouth was full of blood, and his smile was somewhat crazed.

After Jiang Yunqing left, the buff effect vanished, and the intense pain flooded his entire body again.

"Mm... as long as she can live, it's fine," Ji Yao murmured.

Her simple Necromancer robes were now covered in mud and dust.

Her originally fair skin was already covered in scars, and blood was streaming from all over her body.

But this strong girl showed no trace of pain on her face.

She looked at Wu Meng with a faint, miserable smile of a victor.

As if she had won.

"What are you laughing at? You don't really think you've won, do you?"

Ji Yao's expression made Wu Meng feel extremely annoyed.

"My torture methods will make you wish you were dead!"

As he spoke, Wu Meng took a step forward and struck out with both whips.

The iron chains pierced through Ji Yao's body.

Clean and swift!

She suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of blood; her lungs and lumbar spine were pierced by the shackles, and two large holes appeared in her body.

Piercing agony struck, and unable to stand, she could only kneel on one knee, breathing heavily.

Blood stained her thin clothes, and her thin, frail body trembled uncontrollably.

"Haha... we really don't know her whereabouts."

"Even if you torture me until I'm mentally deranged, I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to!"

"No matter what, you will never get the bounty."

She revealed an extremely resolute expression, and was actually still smiling!

At this moment, even Yan Ze felt his heart tremble.

Miss Ji... was actually this strong.

No wonder Su Ming liked her so much.

That's right, Yan Ze knew that Su Ming liked Ji Yao.

Su Ming didn't even try to hide it.

That was why Yan Ze had taken good care of Ji Yao along the way, giving her the finishing blow on many monsters so she could gain more experience.

After all, Su Ming had saved his life once, so he had to protect the person Su Ming cared about!

At this moment, his heart was filled with guilt, hating himself for not having the ability to protect her.

He could only watch helplessly as she was tortured by the enemy.

As Ji Yao laughed, tears filled her eyes.

Not because of the pain.

But because of her father, mother, and grandmother.

She would never see them again, would she...

Just as she was in despair, a sound of footsteps came from afar.

The next instant, someone arrived outside the window.

When she saw this person, her eyes widened in shock, and she stared fixedly at her.
