Fearless!
Even though the newcomer was wearing a woven rush raincoat, making it impossible to see his face clearly, Ye Zichen was far too familiar with his tone.
He didn't even need to guess; a certain person's image involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Gu Li."
The Xuan-Yuan Sword above his head buzzed, and the Thousand Mysterious Escaping Swords by his side trembled and emitted sword cries.
"You recognize me?"
The man in the raincoat smiled calmly, then waved his right hand.
As expected, the person standing before them was none other than Gu Li.
He held Su Yan and Su Zhu in his hands. Gu Li didn't know what technique he'd used on them, but their eyes were tightly shut, and their breathing was barely discernible.
"Boss."
Jiangchen bowed to Gu Li. When he saw this, Ye Zichen knit his brows.
The Zombie Progenitors were actually Gu Li's subordinates.
"I really regret not killing you back in the Modern Realm."
Ye Zichen's chest heaved violently. So many things had happened, and more than half of them had been Gu Li's doing.
If he'd eliminated Gu Li back in the Modern Realm, perhaps all this wouldn't have happened.
His furious rebuke reached his sword intent. The Myriad Mysterious Concealed Swords trembled even more violently, as if they might break free of his control at any moment.
"What's the point of saying all this now? There's no medicine for regret in this world. "
Gu Li smiled calmly, then glanced meaningfully at Jiangchen.
"Let our empress go. With these two girls in my hands, I'm sure she'll make her choice. "
Bang.
She pushed Su Liu 'er to the ground. Now freed, she rose to her feet and looked calmly at Gu Li.
"What do you want?"
When she first saw Su Yan and Su Zhu, her expression didn't change in the slightest. Perhaps it was more accurate to say that she'd spent far too much energy, so she'd gotten used to hiding her emotions.
However, the calmer she was, the more furious she became.
He could bully her, but he couldn't bully her little sister. That was her bottom line.
When Gu Li used Su Yan and Su Zhu to threaten her, she'd had no choice but to compromise. Even so, her fury towards him continued to build.
A fearless smile appeared on Gu Li's face. That was the smile ….
No matter when it was, he was always like this.
It was as if he was toying with everyone in the palm of his hand. Ye Zichen hated this sort of smile from the bottom of his heart.
What drove him crazy was that Gu Li always led him by the nose.
"Didn't I say it just now? I want to use the lives of these two girls to exchange for Hanba's life that you've sealed. Two for one, you won't lose anything."
"It really is a very good deal," replied Su Liu'er calmly.
"It's great that you think so too." With that, Gu Li placed Su Yan and Su Zhu a step to the side. "This is a sign of my sincerity. Shouldn't you release Hanba as well?"
Swoosh.
The instant Gu Li let go, Ye Zichen appeared beside Su Yan.
"Brother Ye, we've already fought so many times, why don't you have a good memory? If your sword destroys Hiderigami, then this girl can forget about waking up in this lifetime. Besides, even a vicious tiger doesn't eat its cubs. No matter what, Hanba is still your daughter. Are you in such a hurry to kill her? "
Just as Ye Zichen was about to release the Myriad Mysterious Concealed Swords, Gu Li suddenly spoke up from behind him.
"What exactly did you do to them?"
Jiangchen grabbed Gu Li by the collar, frowned, and took a step forward. At the same time, Lady Nuwa blocked his way.
Although she didn't say anything, it was clear from her actions that if he wanted to touch Ye Zichen, he'd have to touch her first.
Gu Li shook his head at Jiangchen, then smiled.
"Brother Ye's temper is as fiery as ever, but impulsiveness alone won't solve the problem. If you want them to live, disperse the swords around you. I'm a coward, and I get nervous easily. When I'm nervous, I do rather extreme things. Mm …. You should understand what I mean, right? "
"Despicable."
Ye Zichen pushed Gu Li away, then dispersed his swords.
"You're quite strong."
Gu Li straightened his clothes, cracked his neck, and laughed.
"Brother Ye, there's no need to be nervous. I merely placed a soul-calming curse on them. As long as the empress can release Hanba from the ice, these two will naturally not be in any danger. "
"Do you think I'd believe you?" said Ye Zichen.
"You have no choice but to believe me." Gu Li's expression darkened. "Don't even think about getting lucky. I'm very afraid of death. Since I dared to come out at a time like this, I naturally have complete confidence. Even if Lady Nuwa were here, there's no way she could break my soul-calming curse. If you don't believe me, you can try. "
Ye Zichen glanced vaguely at Lady Nuwa. Before long, he and Su Liu'er received a transmission from her.
"This soul-calming curse is very strange. I really can't break it."
"Alright, we agree to your request, but you have to wake my little sister up first," said Su Liu 'er.
"That's impossible, but I can wake one of them up first. As for the other, we'll wait until the empress releases Hanba. I'm absolutely sincere. What do you think? "Gu Li arched his brows and smiled.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zichen and the others nodded.
They walked towards Su Yan and Su Liu 'er, while Ye Zichen stood in the middle, blocking Gu Li's path.
"Get out of my way. You're in my way."
Creak.
Ye Zichen clenched his fists, then silently walked to the side. He watched as Gu Li gently tapped Su Zhu's forehead.
"Lil 'Yan, don't worry about me!"
Shouted Su Zhu, startled awake. Then she saw Gu Li crouching in front of her …..
"You ….."
Gu Li smiled calmly and rose to his feet. His gaze landed on Su Liu 'er.
"Look ….."
Su Liu 'er's expression was icy. Without hesitation, she waved her right hand, and the ice rapidly melted.
Bang.
The ice shattered.
Hanba, who'd escaped, ran up to Gu Li.
"Thank you for saving me, Boss."
Su Liu 'er nodded calmly, then said, "It's your turn.
"It's your turn. Don't try to play any tricks with me. If I can freeze her once, I can freeze her a second time."
"You damned bitch, you just caught me off guard ….."
Hanba glared and cursed. Gu Li reached out and stopped her, then smiled and nodded at Su Liu 'er.
"Of course I trust the Ice Empress' methods, and I've never tried to play any tricks on you. Since you've released Hanba, I'll naturally wake your little sister up. "
He slowly walked up to Su Yan, then repeated the same actions as before.
"Mm ….."
