"Whoosh —" The red muslin wrapped around Gu Li's left and right arms, preventing her from escaping. "Crack crack!" With two sounds, Gu Li's wrists were broken by the red muslin. "Ah —" A deafening scream rang out. The more timid people covered their eyes and peeked through the gaps between their fingers.
Murong Qiqi was not satisfied after breaking Gu Li's arms. The red muslin once again wrapped around Gu Li's legs, and with another two cracking sounds, Gu Li's ankles were crushed by the red muslin.
Crippled … Londo's heart trembled. Gu Li's limbs were crippled. From the sounds, her bones were crushed into small pieces. Even the best doctor wouldn't be able to save her.
Looking at Gu Li's miserable state and the cold sweat on her forehead, Londo shook his head. Although this woman was arrogant and had a vicious heart, she was still a citizen of the Southern Phoenix Nation. Now that things had turned out like this, Londo could only say that Gu Li was blind. She actually chose such an inconspicuous woman who was actually hiding her strength.
However, Murong Qiqi gave Londo an even greater shock. Just now, he had been staring at Murong Qiqi without blinking, not missing a single moment. Even though Murong Qiqi wasn't using any battle qi, her moves were extremely vicious and lethal.
Londo's sharp senses told him that Murong Qiqi didn't want to take Gu Li's life so quickly. Whether it was the cat and mouse dodging at the beginning or the eye-catching dance afterwards, if Murong Qiqi really wanted to kill Gu Li, she wouldn't have just hit the stone slab beside Gu Li with the red muslin.
With such great control over the strength of the red muslin, her accuracy should be very high as well. Murong Qiqi just wanted to continue toying with Gu Li, exhausting her before torturing her.
Londo couldn't help but shiver when he thought of all this. He looked at Murong Qiqi with a little more fear. In his heart, he had already determined that Gu Li had lost, and lost miserably. Whether it was Murong Qiqi using retreating to provoke Gu Li into making a life and death agreement, or all these tricks, Murong Qiqi had Gu Li in the palm of her hand. It was just that Gu Li still hadn't realized it. How pitiful …
Although he was clear about this, Londo did not intend to help. This was the life and death agreement between Gu Li and Murong Qiqi. If he interfered, wouldn't he offend the Southern Lin King? Furthermore, they were both contestants, and without Gu Li, they would have one less competitor.
This time, the Imperial Noble Consort placed a lot of importance on the Four Nation Youth Competition. The reward was also very generous. If he really won, wouldn't he have another person to share the bounty with? Thinking about this, Londo continued to watch the show from the side.
"Kill me if you dare! Kill me if you dare! " Beads of cold sweat rolled down Gu Li's forehead, but her eyes didn't turn timid. Instead, they were filled with hatred like a venomous snake.
"If you let me live, I will definitely not let you go! I've taken a fancy to your man, and I won't let him go! Kill me, or you'll die! "
Gu Li's sharp voice sounded particularly shrill in the cold arena. "I, Gu Li 8226, swear in the name of my ancestors that if I'm still alive, I'll make this woman suffer a fate worse than death! A life worse than death! "
"Humph! Even at death's door, you're still so stubborn! "
Murong Qiqi snorted coldly. The red muslin in her hand was like a red snake as it wrapped around Gu Li's neck. Just as she was about to make a move, she heard a shout, "Show mercy!" Then, three plum blossom darts flew towards Murong Qiqi's face.
"Qingqing!" Feng Cang shouted. He flew like a great roc and landed in front of Murong Qiqi to protect her. He waved his cloak, and a strong wind blew, knocking the plum blossom darts to the ground.
"Gu Li! Gu Li, are you alright? "
On the other side, a green-robed man lifted Gu Li's head. Only then did he realize that Gu Li's wrists and ankles had been crippled.
"Young … Young Master, I'm afraid Gu Li will not be able to participate in this competition!" Gu Li breathed heavily. Blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth, dyeing her chest red.
Since Jialan Lianyi had arrived, Londo naturally stopped hiding and rushed forward.
"This lady, why did you attack my people so heavily?" After handing Gu Li over to Londo, Jialan Lianyi stood up and turned to look at Murong Qiqi, who was in Feng Cang's embrace.
"Self-defense." Murong Qiqi's answer was very calm, but her eyes were constantly sizing up Jialan Lianyi.
He was a clean and refreshing man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. However, she didn't know what his character was like. Jialan Lianyi was the nephew of Imperial Noble Consort Jialan Min. The Southern Phoenix Country's Sixteen Prefectures of Nether Cloud was in his hands.
There was news from the West Qi Country that Mingyue Cheng had disguised himself and followed the envoy back to the Southern Phoenix Country. They were probably going to make their move in the next few days!
"Self-defense?"
Jialan Lianyi sneered at Murong Qiqi's words. "Lady, you speak so righteously! You were the one who injured her. How is that self-defense? "
"She was not as skilled as you! That's all. "
Jialan Lianyi wanted to seek justice for Gu Li when he saw Murong Qiqi's rudeness. Londo, on the other hand, quickly recounted what had happened today. "Life and death agreement? Duel? "Jialan Lianyi finally understood the reason.
"I'm sorry! I was too rash when I criticized Lady without investigating the reason. I apologize to Lady! "Jialan Lianyi said as he bowed to Murong Qiqi. "However, Gu Li is already heavily injured and will be a cripple in the future. Please be magnanimous and let Gu Li go!"
"Let her go?" Murong Qiqi chuckled. She fiddled with the red muslin and revealed a devilish smile. "Young Master Jialan, you should be more concerned about yourself. What punishment do you deserve for attacking this Empress?"
"This Empress?" Jialan Lianyi frowned at Murong Qiqi's words. He didn't know who Murong Qiqi was. Londo hurriedly told Jialan Lianyi what he heard.
Sunshine Princess? The princess of the West Qi Country. Her marriage partner was Feng Cang, who was beside her! Jialan Lianyi finally understood and regretted his actions. Even an idiot could tell that Feng Cang was very protective of Murong Qiqi. Although he didn't injure Murong Qiqi, he still attacked her. This was going to be troublesome.
"Gu Li and this Empress signed a life and death agreement. No matter how aggressive she was previously, this Empress will return the favor. Therefore, this duel isn't over yet. Young Master Jialan, please back down. This is one of the reasons. Secondly, why did Young Master Jialan attack me in front of everyone? This Empress has no enmity with Young Master Jialan. Yet, Young Master Jialan attacked this Empress. Could it be that the South Phoenix Country wants to destroy the marriage between the West Qi Country and North Zhou Country and wants to kill this Empress to stop it? Or does Young Master Jialan have other motives? "
