Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 721 - 721 721 A Life for a Life

721: Chapter 721: A Life for a Life 721: Chapter 721: A Life for a Life Qian Feng was about to say something else, but saw Lin Xi grit her teeth, holding back tears, with a determined look in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind to risk it all.

“Gu Fan, I won’t let anything happen to you.” She said.

Lin Xi then began to form hand seals and chant mnemonic rhymes.

At first, Qian Feng didn’t mind, thinking Lin Xi was using some restorative magic, but as she listened, she caught on and said in shock, “Qian Ye, what are you doing?

Why are you using this kind of magic?”

Lin Xi gave a melancholy smile, “Gu Fan has had too much Qi sucked out of him by Lisa, he barely has any vitality left.

Even so, he is willing to risk his life to save me.

So, I will do everything I can to save him.”

“What?” Only then did Qian Feng understand why Gu Fan was on the brink of death without her dealing a fatal blow.

Seeing Lin Xi’s determination, Qian Feng hurriedly advised, “Qian Ye, think carefully.

Even if you use this kind of magic, it’s not guaranteed that you can save him, and you may even endanger yourself.”

“I’m aware of the consequences, but I have to try.

I’ve realized, I can’t live without him,” Lin Xi settled her hands into final hand seals and pressed them onto Gu Fan’s body, starting to transfer her life force into him.

Watching Lin Xi’s face turn pale and her movements become increasingly difficult, Qian Feng felt a tightness in her chest.

However, Gu Fan’s condition showed no signs of improvement, and Lin Xi seemed to be growing weaker.

Lin Xi could only plead, “Help me, sister.

I can’t transfer my life force into Gu Fan.

Please help me.”

“Help you?” Qian Feng responded in disbelief, “You should just give up.

Insisting on using this magic won’t let you transfer your life force successfully.

If you don’t give up, your life force will simply drain away.”

“If you help me, it will work.” Lin Xi replied, tears rolling down her cheeks.

“In my past life, I failed him because I listened to you.

This time, I can’t give up no matter what.”

“So, you still remember that person.” Qian Feng sighed, hesitated a moment, then walked behind Lin Xi, pressed her hand against Lin Xi’s back, and used her supernatural power to help Lin Xi transfer her life force to Gu Fan.

Finally, with Qian Feng’s help, Gu Fan started to show signs of improvement, his breathing became stable, and his heart rate strengthened.

Everything seemed to be looking up.

On the contrary, Lin Xi looked even worse, with her heart beating weakly.

Despite that, she refused to stop.

She was determined to fully revive Gu Fan.

“That’s enough, Lin Xi.

You should stop now, otherwise…” Qian Feng tried to intervene several times, but Lin Xi would not yield.

With weak eyes and a shaky body, she looked as if she could collapse at any moment.

“In my past life, I wronged him and saw him die in my arms with regrets.

This time, I won’t accept it.” Lin Xi made a final effort.

After ensuring Gu Fan’s life was no longer in danger, Lin Xi finally relaxed, then passed out on top of Gu Fan.

When Gu Fan woke up and found Lin Xi unconscious with weak heartbeats and breathing, he glanced at Qian Feng and panic instantly filled his eyes, “What did you do to Lin Xi, Qian Feng?”

“I didn’t do anything.

Qian Ye is just too foolish.

She transferred her life force into you to keep you alive.

Now she’s likely…” Qian Feng didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Gu Fan’s heart sank as he looked at Lin Xi lying in his arms, her face pale.

Sudden, intense pain tore through his heart.

He’s a man, he should be protecting his woman, and now a woman was protecting him.

This felt so wrong.

Seeing the self-blame on Gu Fan’s face, Qian Feng snorted, “I don’t know what’s so good about you that could make Qian Ye give her all.

But now’s not the time to lose heart.

You must do something.”

“Yes, I have to save Lin Xi.” Gu Fan picked up Lin Xi and looked around.

The secret base was shaking more fiercely, suggesting that the place would collapse soon.

The first thing that came to Gu Fan’s mind was to run to the control room to look for a solution.

Qian Feng didn’t want to deal with Gu Fan, but when he left, he turned to her and said, “Clan Laws be damned.

Despite the tension between us, we need to cooperate for Lin Xi’s sake.

Let’s have a truce for now.”

Qian Feng didn’t respond, but she moved, catching up to Gu Fan’s steps.

Qian Feng could locomote by flight, so she made Gu Fan do the same, to be faster.

Under Gu Fan’s guidance, they reached the control room.

Gu Fan tried to find the control buttons, but had no idea where the button to prevent the collapse was.

However, as Gu Fan watched the monitor, he spotted others at the dock of the large wooden ship.

It seemed that Su Hui led everyone to board this ship and escape, but the ship was on fire now, effectively cutting off everyone’s escape route.

“How could this happen?” Qian Feng also sensed danger, then she turned to Gu Fan, “What now?

Do you have a plan?”

“Yes, of course I do.” Gu Fan barely spoke when the woman in the red dress appeared, and curiously asked, “I’d like to hear how you plan to get out of here.”

Gu Fan smiled faintly, “I knew you would come.

But first, tell me if there’s a way to increase life force here.”

“I’m sorry, but I’ll be honest, there isn’t.

Otherwise, Lisa and her gang wouldn’t have to capture innocents and absorb their Qi.

What they are actually absorbing is life force.” The words of the woman in the red dress chilled Gu Fan.

Looking at the still unconscious Lin Xi, he suddenly felt sheer desperation.

Qian Feng added, “When we get out, I’ll find a way to prolong Qian Ye’s life.

But for now, our priority is to escape.”

“Okay, I understand.” Gu Fan took a deep breath to regain his composure, then turned around to face the woman in the red dress, “AI, is there a fast way to go where my comrades are?

I believe there must be some secret tunnels in this base.”

“You guessed it right.

I’ll take you there right now, so that you can experience despair together.” The woman in the red dress snapped her fingers, and a wall next to the control room opened up, revealing a secret passage, just as Gu Fan thought.

“Let me make it clear, you only have five minutes left.

This place is going to collapse.

So best of luck to you all,” the woman in the red dress said in a falsely encouraging tone.

“Thanks for the reminder!

I’ll make good use of these five minutes,” Gu Fan then picked up Lin Xi and headed straight for the secret tunnel.

His determined eyes radiated a fearless aura of facing death with courage.
