"What are you laughing at? You are not allowed to laugh! " Xu Longxiang screamed as he grabbed Yan Li and threw him at the stall on the side of the street. He used all his strength in this throw, plus Yan Li's own weight. The wooden stall was smashed into pieces.
Yan Li struggled to get up from the pile of broken wood. One of his eyes was swollen to the extent that he couldn't open it. The other eye was fine, but the corner of it was cracked and bleeding. He looked at Xu Longxiang with only one eye and said with a smile, "If your desire is strong enough, can't you find the answer? The so-called revenge is to have the awareness of losing everything and gambling everything. But I don't see it in you. What are you afraid of? "
"I am afraid? What kind of nonsense are you spouting? "Xu Longxiang angrily rushed over, his fists raining down on Yan Li. "Be angry, but you can't resist. This is your sad state! Who is weak, isn't it obvious? You are powerless because of the life of a maid. This is the performance of a weak person! Let me tell you, revenge is unscrupulous! "
Yan Li said, "You are a sad person. You satisfy yourself in the revenge game and escape the reality of your brother's suicide."
Xu Longxiang was stunned. Xu Longhua's painful cry echoed in his ears, "Brother, let me die … let me die …" He responded like this every time, "No, you can't die. Longhua, I will definitely avenge you. You have to believe in me. Only when you see Yan Li die will your revenge be complete, right? "
"I am in too much pain … too much pain …"
"Let me die … let me die …"
In the last two months, he couldn't hear any other words from Xu Longhua. He had almost forgotten whether it was to stimulate his brother to live in the name of revenge, or to satisfy his strong desire to not let his brother die. He used revenge as an excuse and ignored his brother's struggle in pain.
Yan Li felt right. Xu Longxiang didn't have the awareness of gambling everything.
"My aunt used the price of eternal sleep to teach me the radiance of life. That's why I'm here to tell you that Fu'er has never been my servant. She is an important part of my life. "Yan Li stood up again, still smiling.
Xu Longxiang could not help but feel a dazzling, hateful light. "You …" He clenched his teeth, the thrill of revenge gone, leaving only hatred.
"Enough!" Lei Yan shouted angrily, turning around, "Yan Li is not willing to commit suicide, so we can only let the Thunder Department carry out the orders of the Enforcement Court. Junior Apprentice-Brother Yan, I've offended you! " After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and sixty members of the Thunder Division, who were on standby, immediately launched a sword formation and attacked Yan Li.
The sword formation was made up of five, and it was called the Five Skandhas Illuminating Soul. It was extremely lethal to Star Fallen Beasts, but because it lacked variations, it seemed stiff and rigid to cultivators. Before they came, they had all heard that Yan Li had killed a Divine Domain expert. They knew that the small sword formation would be useless, so they directly formed a Twelve Stars Annihilation Formation. They stood in a position of five, raising their swords high. Sword glows intertwined and soared into the sky.
"Kill!"
Sword glows shot out from twelve directions, gathering in the air and weaving like ropes, transforming into a giant sword that chopped down at Yan Li. The highest cultivation level of these Thunder Department disciples was only at the Cave Insight Realm, but the sword formation they formed when they joined hands was comparable to a full-strength attack from a true earth immortal.
Yan Li took out Leaving Cliff to block, and used the Sword Concealment Formula to absorb all the sword glows. He then pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the flagstone floor. A large amount of external force was injected into the ground, causing the ground to swell and finally explode with a boom. The Thunder Department disciples had no choice but to retreat. Amidst the smoke and dust, Yan Li leapt out like an agile leopard. Using the roof to propel himself, he quickly fled into the distance.
If Fu'er was in their hands, then there was a high chance that she was imprisoned in Long Ling Manor. But there were so many buildings in Long Ling Manor, and the local tyrants led by Jiang Mingcheng would not allow me to slowly search.
Two Flying Dragon Guards looked into the distance from the roof of Fire Gazing Tower. Seeing the smoke and dust on the battlefield, they thought that the disciples of the Court Of Sword had begun to "kill each other". They were very excited and stretched their necks to see clearly.
"Does it look good?"
"Very strong, hehehe..."
"Let me see it too."
"Who are you?"
The two Flying Dragon Guards suddenly froze, because the voice they heard did not belong to them. They subconsciously looked back and saw a person with only one eye and the other parts of his face were not intact crouching behind them. They were so scared that they almost screamed, "Ghost, ghost!"
Hearing this, Yan Li was angry. He stretched out his hands and pinched the two. "If you want to live, tell me honestly. Where did the people of the Court Of Sword hide the hostage?"
"What, what hostage..." The Flying Dragon Guards were confused. They only felt that the other party's hands seemed to have magical powers, causing the true Qi in their bodies to obediently lie dormant. They could not use any strength at all. Feeling their necks gradually tighten, they quickly racked their brains to think. Finally, they remembered that such a cage did exist.
"I, I saw that cage being transported to Long Ling Manor... I was on duty outside the manor and did not know what was going on inside. Please spare my life, great hero..."
"Useless things." Yan Li kicked the two Flying Dragon Guards down. They were only about 60 meters high, so they would not fall to their deaths. He stood up and looked to the side. "Don't you think the behavior of the Law Enforcement Bureau is very strange?"
Lei Yan was standing there, holding the broadsword on his back. "The Law Enforcement Bureau was established by Master himself, and it carries out Master's will." The other members of the Thunder Division also hurried over.
"Yan Li, if you try to escape again, I will immediately go and kill that maid of yours!" Xu Longxiang appeared on the other side.
Lei Yan's expression darkened. He frowned and said unhappily, "Junior Brother Xu, your attitude has been very problematic from the beginning. You have overstepped your authority again and again. Have you forgotten that I am the leader of the Thunder Division? You were the one who captured the little girl to prevent unnecessary casualties. Although it did bind his hands and feet, it also made me unable to act freely. You have a grudge against him and want to humiliate him. I endured it because you have followed me for so many years and have worked hard for me! I have the final say on how to use the hostage. Now, none of you should interfere. I will choose a place to fight with him. If I lose, I will let the little girl go! "
"What?" Xu Longxiang was anxious. He secretly clenched his teeth and said calmly, "I was indeed a little impatient, but... Senior Brother, you may not know that killing Yan Li is actually the will of the 'Sword Holding Association'."
Lei Yan's pupils shrank slightly. His hand slowly loosened the hilt of his sword. His face was gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.
Originally, the situation was developing in a favorable direction. Suddenly, it took a turn for the worse. Yan Li continued to try to shake Lei Yan's will. "Logically, even if I am guilty, I should be brought back to the Court Of Sword and in front of the world..."
"Shut up! Who wants to listen to your flowery words! "
Xu Longxiang rudely interrupted Yan Li's words. He rushed to Yan Li's back with his knee and grabbed one of Yan Li's fingers with a grim smile. "I heard that you like to break people's fingers one by one. Now, I will let you taste the same feeling."
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Yan Li smiled.
"Zhou An!" Xu Longxiang shouted.
It was one of the disciples of the Thunder Department. He stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, "Senior Brother Xu, please speak."
"Bring a few people to the Longling Mansion. As soon as I release the sword talisman, you immediately ask Jiang Mingcheng to kill the hostages!" Xu Longxiang grinned and threw out a talisman in the shape of a small sword.
"Yes, sir." Zhou An laughed in a low voice and quickly disappeared into the night with his people.
Lei Yan sighed inwardly. He could not bear to watch any longer and turned around.
"Yan Li, it begins. You will experience one ten-thousandth of the pain my brother has suffered." Xu Longxiang's face showed a cruel expression. He forcefully twisted the finger, making a crisp "crack" sound.
Yan Li had broken many people's fingers, but he did not expect that the pain was even more unbearable than when he forcibly straightened the bones of his hand. The latter was only a moment of sharp pain, and he would be fine after enduring it. But the former was so painful that it drilled into his heart. If he was not mentally prepared, tears would come out. But he only let out a muffled groan. Fu'er's voice and smile appeared in his mind, and many memories flowed out.
"Master, master, what flower is that?"
"That's an iris flower."
"It's so beautiful. It would be great if the whole world was filled with iris flowers."
When he was still in China, there were many similar conversations. He was often immersed in self-cultivation and only replied perfunctorily. Occasionally, he would imagine those scenes in his mind. Some were ridiculous, some were beautiful, and some were funny. Sometimes, he would think, what was Fu'er thinking in her little head all day long? Her innocence was like that of a romantic poet, with abundant and sincere emotions. Unknowingly, that cute little figure that made people feel sorry for her occupied a very important place in his heart.
Crack!
Another finger was broken. He let out an uncontrollable cry of pain, and his whole body tensed up.
"Hahahaha, that's it, that's it. Come on, scream a little louder, act a little more painful. If I'm satisfied, I'll consider leaving you a whole corpse!"
Xu Longxiang's ear-piercing screams and unpleasant laughter both passed through the pain and drilled into Yan Li's mind, interrupting his memories.
Yan Li only screamed twice before he slowly smiled again. His smile was especially gentle.
Xu Longxiang's laughter stopped. He gritted his teeth and screamed, "Do you think this is funny?"
"You remind me of something that I'm about to forget." Yan Li's voice was very soft, like the whisper of the night wind. "When I first met Fu'er, she came to assassinate me. At first, she would disappear for a period of time. When she appeared in front of me again, there would be some changes in her that I couldn't describe. Sometimes, she seemed to be hiding many things in her heart, but she would smile happily when she saw me. I knew that she wanted me to be happy with her. I still remember that she and Auntie celebrated my birthday together. We fought for each other to eat Auntie's dishes. Every time I took a bite, she would cheer as though she had won. Then, she would be forced to eat more by Auntie …. When we came to Jambu Gate, I actually saw her hugging a cultivator tightly …. "
"Really? She is so important to you, so you should destroy her!" With a cruel expression, Xu Longxiang took out a sword talisman from his chest and crushed it. Sword talismans could sense each other. When one side was broken, the other side would feel the heat.
"You will die …" Yan Li's eyes instantly turned red. His Devil Blood exploded. Blue veins popped out on his left hand. He reached behind his back, grabbed one of Xu Longxiang's legs, and pulled him aside.
Boom!
Xu Longxiang was thrown into a nearby house like a cannonball, hitting several feet deep into the ground. He couldn't help but scream. His mouth and nose were full of hot air. His Qi and blood surged, and his chest was in great pain. At this moment, he felt a strong crisis of death. Enduring the pain, he operated his magic, "Heaven Sword Seal!"
As soon as Yan Li jumped down, he was bounced back by an unknown force field and fell into the Fire Lookout Tower.
"Protect Senior Brother Xu!" The disciples of the Thunder Department swarmed over.
Lei Yan flashed to Xu Longxiang's side, and helped him up expressionlessly. "You have gone too far."
Xu Longxiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, spat out some blood foam, and said with a cold smile, "Senior Brother Lei, now is the time. You can make your move. Even if you can't kill him, it doesn't matter. You just need to slow him down. — He really knows how to fly a sword, stop him! "He suddenly screamed.
Lei Yan took a deep breath, turned into a sword light, and shot out, blocking Yan Li. "Junior Brother Yan, I don't want to fight you in this situation, but … I'm sorry!" The broadsword suddenly shot out, and with a shake, it turned into a wall of sword shadows, blocking Yan Li's way.
Xu Longxiang landed on a roof and laughed, "Yan Li, you see, no matter what, I am still your Senior Martial Brother. I really can't bear to continue humiliating you. If the hostages die, they will no longer be a threat, and you can attack us. But you must be careful. If any of us dies, you will be hunted down by the Court Of Sword forever! "
His Devil Blood boiled even more violently. With only his aura, he turned the air into swords, and a wall of sword shadows appeared, confronting Lei Yan.
"This is really scary … but Xu Longxiang, the one who will die first will definitely be you!"
Just when the battle was about to break out, a beam of dark blue divine light suddenly shot from the distant sky, breaking through the two sword-shaped auras, and fiercely stabbing towards Xu Longxiang. Startled, Xu Longxiang abruptly leapt back several meters, landing on another roof. Focusing his gaze, he saw a long spear that was entirely dark blue standing on the ground, the end of the spear swaying greatly due to the vibrations, emitting a 'weng weng' sound.
Yan Li slowly smiled, "You always appear when I need you the most." Riding on Leaving Cliff, he broke through the sky, transforming into a streak of sword-light as he shot towards Long Ling Manor.
Xu Longxiang was startled. Seeing that Lei Yan was not moving, he shouted angrily, "Lei Yan, you dare to defy the orders of the Court Of Sword Enforcers? Do you not want to work anymore? Let me tell you, the Court Of Sword Enforcers has ten thousand ways to remove you from your position as the head of the Thunder Division. Immediately chase after Yan Li, kill him, and complete what you should … "
"Shut up!" Lei Yan roared, his broadsword already returning to his hand as he prepared a thunderous strike.
Xu Longxiang's face turned green. Suddenly, he saw that the spear was surging with a dark blue divine light, and within the divine light, a figure slowly appeared. It was as if he had been born out of holiness, but beneath his feet was a mountain of corpses and a hell of blood. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Xu Longxiang.
It was only when the dark blue spear flashed past his eyes that Xu Longxiang finally reacted.
