Bai Chi grabbed the young lady's neck and leaned against a nearby pillar. He panted heavily as his chest heaved up and down violently. Following which, he felt a sharp pain. The series of actions just now had exceeded his body's endurance.
However, he only furrowed his brows and then cracked his mouth, revealing a hideous grin. He looked at Lu Xuan with provocative eyes and shouted somewhat crazily, "Now, I no longer have a shred of combat power. Didn't you want to kill me? Come on, come on! "
Looking at Bai Chi's hand on the young lady's neck, Lu Xuan's face was as calm as still water and no emotions could be seen. Although Bai Chi no longer had any ability to fight, it was not difficult for him to crush the young lady's neck in an instant.
A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the girl surnamed Zhang when she was captured by Bai Chi. However, she quickly calmed down. She was already prepared to die. Although Lu Xuan had given her a trace of hope, it was ultimately unable to change the outcome.
"What, you're not going to kill me? Hahaha! " Seeing that Lu Xuan did not make a move for a long time, Bai Chi immediately laughed wildly. After a while, his laughter stopped and he continued to stare at Lu Xuan, "Young hero Lu, I'll give you two choices now. First, kill me. Of course, this beautiful girl will naturally die with me. I believe that you know that I still have the ability to do so."
After speaking, Bai Chi's injuries seemed to be acting up and he coughed out another mouthful of blood. He then continued, "As for the second, within two hours, get me two horses and a healing pill. This way, we can still work together. Otherwise, don't even think about knowing the secret."
Bai Chi seemed to be confident. Currently, the young lady's life was in his hands. If he wanted to, he could end her life at any time. At that time, even if Lu Xuan found out about the secret, he would not be able to do anything.
Hearing Bai Chi's threat, Lu Xuan instantly smiled, "I don't like to be threatened. I'll also give you two choices. First, let her go. I promise not to hurt you and let you leave. Second, you kill her and then I'll kill you."
Bai Chi's expression immediately changed when he heard Lu Xuan's words. He originally thought that he had seized Lu Xuan's lifeline. He did not expect Lu Xuan to not be threatened at all. In an instant, Bai Chi realized that his trump card was not as strong as he had imagined.
However, the more this was the case, the more nervous Bai Chi became. He tightened his grip on the young lady and asked, "You better think carefully. If I kill her, you will never know the secret. Even if you find out, without her help, you won't be able to get it.
"You should also think carefully. If you let her go, you will have a chance to live. I can even give you a healing pill. However, if you don't let her go, you will definitely die!" Lu Xuan did not give in at all.
He knew that a person like Bai Chi must be an extremely crazy person. If he gave in and showed that he coveted the so-called secret, then he would be even more insatiable. Therefore, no matter what, Lu Xuan still maintained an attitude of disdain towards the secret and the young lady's life.
In reality, although Lu Xuan was curious about the so-called secret, it was not to the point where he absolutely had to know. It would naturally be best if he could learn about it, but if he couldn't, he would not force it. What he wanted to do was to save the young lady. After all, she was still a living person and he wanted to form a good relationship with her.
"Bai Chi, I am not related to Young Hero Lu in any way. You're really stupid to use me to threaten him." The young lady surnamed Zhang said softly. Her eyes showed that she was not afraid of death. When she was kidnapped by Bai Chi and the stupid bear, she had already made up her mind to die. Although Lu Xuan suddenly appeared and disrupted the situation, she still could not escape this fate. The only thing that made her feel at ease was that at least she did not implicate Lu Xuan. Moreover, she could let Bai Chi and the stupid bear die with her. This could be considered as collecting some interest for the Zhang family.
Bai Chi's expression was a little hesitant. Lu Xuan's indifference made him lose confidence. Moreover, the young lady surnamed Zhang's words made his heart sink. Indeed, Lu Xuan did not have to save the young lady. Moreover, it seemed that Lu Xuan had an extraordinary background and might not really be interested in the secret.
Seeing that Bai Chi seemed to be shaken, Lu Xuan couldn't help but show a hint of joy. However, his joy was inadvertently seen by Bai Chi. His originally shaken determination became firm again.
He suddenly laughed and looked at Lu Xuan: "I don't dare to believe Young Hero Lu's words. Maybe if I let go of this young lady, you'll directly kill me. Instead of dying in such a useless way, I might as well find a scapegoat. With such a beautiful young lady accompanying me in death, I won't be lonely on the road to hell, haha!"
The laughter suddenly stopped. Bai Chi's expression became cold. He looked at Lu Xuan and said: "Don't talk nonsense. You have two choices. Choose quickly. I'll give you ten breaths of time. If you don't choose after ten breaths of time, then I'll accept you as the first choice. Now, the first breath!"
Bai Chi didn't give Lu Xuan any time to think and directly started the countdown. Lu Xuan had no doubt that after ten breaths of time, he would really crush the young lady's neck. Under the threat of death, anyone would lose their mind.
"The second breath!" Bai Chi's voice was heard again. He stared at Lu Xuan.
"Young Hero, don't hesitate. Kill Bai Chi. He has done many evil things. If we let him go, he will continue to do evil in the future. I don't want anyone else to encounter a situation like mine."
"The third breath! Shut up! "Bai Chi was exasperated.
The young lady didn't care. She looked at Lu Xuan sincerely and continued: "Young Hero, you could have escaped long ago. I'm already very grateful that you put yourself in danger for me. Fortunately, I didn't drag you into this. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to rest in peace even if I died."
"The fourth breath! Young Hero Lu, half of the time has passed! " Bai Chi didn't care about the young lady's words. He grinned and tightened his grip on her throat. Apart from breathing, she couldn't say anything else.
"Young … Hero, kill … Bai Chi. I … thank you on behalf of … the Zhang Family!" Even though Bai Chi had tightly gripped her throat, the young lady still squeezed out a few words. She looked at Lu Xuan sincerely.
At this moment, Lu Xuan had already tightly gripped the Star Shattering Sword in his hand. The veins on his arm were exposed. One could imagine how much strength he had used. His aura and the sword intent of the Initial Mastery Stage were also uncontrollably activated. The killing intent in his gaze towards Bai Chi became more and more intense.
With every word that the young lady surnamed Zhang spoke, Lu Xuan's killing intent grew. Firstly, it was because from what the young lady surnamed Zhang said, Bai Chi was clearly not a good person. Secondly, it seemed like the entire family of the young lady surnamed Zhang had perished, and Bai Chi and the others were the culprits. Thirdly, when one saw the current appearance of the young lady surnamed Zhang, one could not help but feel a trace of pity.
Lu Xuan didn't have a good impression of her, but she was definitely a pitiful person. Moreover, she was kind-hearted. Such a good girl had died in the hands of evil people. How could there be justice in this world?
Lu Xuan's current appearance was a little frightening, especially with the sword intent surrounding him. It seemed like he was going to attack at any time. Even Bai Chi, who didn't care about his life, couldn't help but feel afraid.
He gritted his teeth and continued: "Young Hero Lu, it's the sixth breath! You don't need to scare me. If you attack, I'll definitely die, but this girl will also die! Don't you like to talk about karma and retribution? If you kill me, she'll die because of you! "
Bai Chi's words didn't seem to have any effect. Lu Xuan's eyes gradually turned red as he growled, "I'll give you one last chance. Let go of her and I'll let you leave!"
"I … No! Let go! Kill me! If I die, I'll die with you! It's the eighth breath. You only have two more breaths left! "Bai Chi had gone completely crazy.
The air around Lu Xuan seemed to have solidified as he unleashed his aura without holding back. An extremely sharp sword intent surrounded him. At that moment, Lu Xuan's Essence, Qi, and Spirit had reached their peak. This was definitely the best state he had ever been in when he was enraged!
He could strike at any time, and he would definitely use his most powerful attack. If that stupid bear were to be in front of him right now, it probably would not have been able to block even a single attack. Even Xu Wenyang would not have been able to escape death.
However, no matter how strong he was, Lu Xuan couldn't even lift the sword in his hand. No matter how fast his sword was, he definitely wouldn't be able to kill Bai Chi before Bai Chi killed the girl.
"The ninth breath!" Bai Chi roared as his face turned red. No one wanted to die, but if Lu Xuan insisted on not compromising, he wouldn't be afraid of death. Cultivators faced the danger of dying at any time. If he could drag a beautiful girl and a secret down with him, it would be worth it!
"It seems like you insist on killing me. Very well, then let's die together!" Bai Chi grinned. His face was a little distorted, making him look extremely terrifying.
At that moment, Lu Xuan suddenly let out a furious roar. The sword will around him was suddenly mobilized and swept all over the place. All of the sword will instantly converged together, as if forming an invisible longsword.
"Die!" As Lu Xuan shouted, the invisible sword seemed to cross the distance between them. In an instant, it had already arrived in front of Bai Chi. There wasn't the slightest obstruction as the sword pierced through his throat!
Lu Xuan's attack didn't leave any trace, so Bai Chi hadn't expected it at all. Even if he had expected it, he definitely wouldn't have been able to block it. How could an invisible sword be blocked?
As his throat was pierced through, Bai Chi's eyes instantly widened. His strength quickly dissipated, and he could no longer hold on to the girl's neck, let alone kill her.
Bai Chi, who had lost all his strength, fell backwards. With a dull thud, his corpse fell heavily to the ground, no longer breathing.
Bai Chi was dead!
