Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

In this tense and volatile situation, Lin Rirong, like an enraged beast, pressed forward relentlessly, each step carrying a powerful sense of oppression, intent on crushing Gao Jie completely.

Gao Jie was now in dire straits. His back seemed to be pressed against a cold, impenetrable wall, and the surrounding air seemed to have frozen, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He could only do his best to dodge Lin Rirong's storm-like attacks. Every dodge felt like walking on the edge of death, extremely dangerous.

He knew in his heart that simply dodging was not a long-term solution. He had to rack his brains to find ways to bypass the overwhelming attacks and look for any chance to turn the tide of the battle.

At this critical moment, Xu Rourou suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a crucial step.

She knew that the only way to help Gao Jie get out of his predicament was to attract Lin Rirong's attention by surprise and then launch a sneak attack when he was off guard.

In Xu Rourou's hand, she held a small knife given to her by her father. This knife seemed ordinary, but it hid an astonishing secret.

As she gently drew the knife from its sheath, a strange light flashed in an instant. The knife, as if enchanted, transformed into a majestic greatsword in a single blink. The blade gleamed with a chilling light in the dim light, as if telling the story of its extraordinary origin.

The broadsword sliced ​​through the air with a whistling sound.

The next moment, Lin Rirong's face, which was originally full of confidence and ferocity, was instantly replaced by shock.

His eyes widened, and he roared incredulously, "Little girl, are you crazy? This thing is the Xu family's treasure, the 'Blade of Annihilation'!"

He never expected that this seemingly weak woman would produce such a powerful weapon, and this sudden turn of events caused a sense of panic in his heart.

Gao Jie keenly noticed Lin Rirong's momentary lapse in concentration, and seizing this fleeting opportunity, he rushed forward without hesitation.

His figure moved like lightning, instantly entangling Lin Rirong and preventing him from easily escaping.

While fiercely fighting Lin Rirong, Gao Jie shouted, "Rou Rou, don't just stand there, make your move!"

His voice carried a hint of anxiety and anticipation; this was the only chance he might have to defeat Lin Rirong.

Xu Rourou was startled by Gao Jie's sudden shout, but she quickly recovered.

She bit her lower lip, a resolute glint in her eyes, and once again took control of the "Blade of Annihilation," preparing to deliver a fierce slash.

At this moment, although she was a little nervous, she was even more filled with the courage to do anything to help Gao Jie.

Lin Rirong never expected that he would be driven to such a predicament by these two young men. The anger in his heart burned like a raging fire.

He was completely enraged, his hands clenched into tight fists, the veins of which bulged from the force.

He roared and unleashed a fatal blow at the two. This strike contained the full power of his third-tier strength, and one could clearly feel a powerful wind rushing towards them, the wind like a sharp blade, stinging their faces.

Strangely, the wind came quickly and went quickly, disappearing almost instantly without a trace, leaving people baffled by its mystery.

Gao Jie was not intimidated by this strange attack. His eyes were fixed on Lin Rirong's every move, and he was focused on finding the opponent's weakness.

Just as the gust of wind dissipated, he seized the opportunity, swiftly reaching out and firmly grasping Lin Rirong's wrist.

He held on tightly, making it impossible for Lin Rirong to break free for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Jie used all his strength to deliver a crucial punch. This punch, carrying all his power, flew straight towards Lin Rirong's face.

"Ouch, you bastard, you hit me in the eye!"

Lin Rirong roared in pain, his voice filled with anger and resentment. He never imagined that he would be at a disadvantage against the combined forces of these two young men.

"Ah, I'm going to kill both of you today."

After he finished roaring wildly, he mustered all his strength and pounced on Gao Jie and Xu Rourou without regard for anything else.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour them alive.

Upon seeing this, Xu Rourou subconsciously took a step back.

However, Lin Rirong seemed to have seen through her intentions and suddenly changed the direction of his attack, heading straight for Xu Rourou.

A wave of despair washed over Xu Rourou, and her mind went completely blank.

If Gao Jie hadn't saved him, he would have surely died here today.

Only now did Xu Rourou truly understand what fear felt like, but what good was being afraid now?

She could only watch helplessly as Lin Rirong's murderous figure drew closer, her body seemingly frozen in place, unable to move.

They could only hope that Gao Jie would lend a helping hand and give them a chance.

The next moment, Gao Jie suddenly reached out his hand.

Lin Rirong was pleased that Gao Jie had been brought under control but had not made a move.

"Little girl, remember this: you have no one you can trust out there, understand?"

"If you keep blindly trusting people, you'll definitely suffer a great loss, do you understand?"

With that, he shoved the person away, intending to kill Xu Rourou directly.

His main concern was that he didn't want the blood to splatter on him when the corpse exploded.

Xu Rourou was on the verge of collapse, feeling herself getting closer and closer to death, until the next moment, Gao Jie suddenly made his move.

"Go to hell!"

Gao Jie actually picked up the World-Destroying Blade and pierced through his chest in one fell swoop.

Lin Rirong never expected to be killed in a counterattack, and he lay on the ground with disbelief on his face.

In reality, he had seriously underestimated Gao Jie; he hadn't expected him to be so fierce when he made his move.

Now, Lin Rirong could not say anything and could only calmly await his death.

Not long after, Lin Rirong closed his eyes.

Xu Rourou was terrified. This was the first time she had ever encountered something like this in her life. She ran to Gao Jie's side, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.

"This really scared me to death, what on earth happened?"

"I don't want to go out anymore, let's go home, I miss my mom and dad so much."

Upon hearing this, Gao Jie could only gently comfort her and pull her into his arms, while Xu Rourou was too frightened to move.

Gao Jie had no choice but to carry the person back to bed and stay by their side for more than an hour until they gradually regained their mobility before leaving with them.

The two didn't dare linger. They dumped the body in the stairwell and left in a hurry.

The two returned to Jincheng City.

Xu Wenfeng was also curious, why was he back so soon? He greeted his daughter with a smile.

"Little girl, you didn't miss me, did you? You came back so quickly. To be honest, I missed you a lot while you were gone. It felt like something was missing."

"But now that you're finally back, I can finally relax. By the way, nothing else has happened, right?"

Xu Rourou wanted to tell her father the truth, but Gao Jie stopped her.

"Nothing happened, everything went smoothly, don't worry, there's no problem."

Xu Wenfeng didn't think much of it and reached out to pat them on the shoulder.

"Alright, you've had your fun, let's leave it at that. You two get ready to go to school anytime."

As Xu Wenfeng spoke, he kept Gao Jie behind and arranged for someone to send his daughter back.

Xu Rourou didn't think much of it, after all, her father would never scold her.

Instead, he was worried for Gao Jie. After all, he knew his father's temper. What if his father flew into a rage at Gao Jie?

Xu Wenfeng noticed that his daughter didn't seem to want to leave, so he smiled and said...

"What's wrong? Are you a little sad to see your dad go? Don't worry, I'm fine. I was just chatting with this young man for a bit. You don't need to take it to heart, okay?"

Hearing her father's words, the little girl hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow his wishes.

After his daughter left, Xu Wenfeng suddenly turned to look at Gao Jie, his expression turning ferocious.

"What the hell are you up to? Why did you go out? And you're back in just two days. I know my daughter best. She won't come back until she's had her fill of fun outside. Tell me what happened!"

Gao Jie hadn't expected that Xu Wenfeng had already seen through the problem, even though he hadn't said anything...

After thinking for a moment, Gao Jie said helplessly.

"To be honest, there was indeed a small problem."

Xu Wenfeng slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"A small problem, but you've scared my daughter like this. Do you think that's a small problem? I demand an explanation right now, or else don't worry about me turning on you."

Gao Jie had no other choice but to give a rough account of what had happened. Xu Wenfeng's expression shifted between anger and joy.

After Gao Jie finished speaking, Xu Wenfeng couldn't help but frown.

"If anything like this happens again, just tell me directly. You don't need to hide it from me. But I never expected that those bastards from the Lin family would dare to have such a dirty idea about my daughter. They really don't know what they're getting themselves into."

"It's alright, the person is already dead, they can't possibly get to you now. Go back and rest for a few days, don't go out for now. I'll go and check things out, and once things are settled, you can go to school with my daughter."

"Once we get to Jinling, everything will be much easier. No matter how bold the Lin family is, they won't dare to cause trouble in Jinling."

Gao Jie nodded and then went back.

Xu Wenfeng's face turned very ugly, because he did not expect Gao Jie to cause such a big trouble.

That's the Lin family, after all.

But he did it to protect his daughter, so it's really hard to judge this situation...
