His hand slipped
Jian Xi Lai looked at Jesse indifferently, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes. His killing intent did not decrease because of Jesse's begging for mercy.
"Not good, she's really planning to kill me!"
A trace of fear flashed in Jesse's eyes. It had taken him countless years of hard work to cultivate to this point, and only he knew the hardships he had gone through. He could still live for countless years, so he absolutely could not die here. Otherwise, wouldn't all the hardships he had suffered over the years be in vain?
Jian Xi Lai moved, the long sword in his hand swept out with a cold light, and Lillian let out a miserable scream like a donkey's howl. Her limbs had been cut off.
"Holy Maiden, this old servant was wrong, Holy Maiden!"
Lillian begged for mercy loudly.
A trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the guards of the Saint Lady Temple standing behind Jian Xi Lai. If she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place?
Lillian had been targeting Jian Xi Lai since a long time ago. Everyone had seen this with their own eyes. It was only because of her special identity that nothing happened. Unexpectedly, their Holy Maiden just didn't want to bother with this old servant. Now that she was bothered, she even directly cut off Lillian's limbs.
These limbs were not simply severed. The vitality at the severed area had long been destroyed by the violent demonic energy. Unless there was the help of a Heavenly Demon Level existence or she swallowed some treasures of heaven and earth, it was basically impossible for these limbs to grow back.
"Hahaha, now you know how to beg for mercy!"
Spider Wen looked at Lillian with a relieved expression.
The corners of Jian Xi Lai's mouth curled up slightly. Just as he was about to end Lillian's life, a burst of laughter came from the door.
"Holy Maiden, although Lillian is taking advantage of her seniority, she has also done many things for our Lucifer Tribe for so many years. For the sake of this old man, let her go this time?"
An old man slowly walked in. The aura on his body was thicker than that of Jian Xi Lai and Jesse. It was obvious that he was an existence in the middle stage of the Earth Demon.
"Elder Martinez, save me!"
Lillian seemed to have seen her savior. She wanted to hug his thigh, but she found that she had no hands. She could only use all her strength to jump behind Martinez.
When Jesse saw the arrival of the old man, he immediately let out a long sigh of relief. Martinez was a member of the Elder Cabinet and was in charge of many affairs in the Lucifer Giant City. If he came forward, Jian Xilai would give him face. At least his life was saved today.
"Martinez, why are you free to come to my Saint Lady Temple today?"
Jian Xilai said indifferently.
Martinez chuckled as he looked at the four wings on Jian Xi Lai's back. A hint of shock flashed past the depths of his eyes, but he did not reveal it. He smiled and said, "Holy Maiden, I just happened to pass by this place today and saw that the Holy Maiden was so angry. I was afraid that something might have happened, so I came over to take a look."
"Oh, is that so?"
Jian Xi Lai laughed faintly. He pointed at Lilian and looked at Martinez. "Do you really want to plead for this evil slave?"
"This …"
A trace of hesitation appeared on Martinez's face. Seeing this, Lillian hurriedly cried for help. Martinez lowered his head and glanced at Lillian. His gaze swept past the wrinkles on her face, and there was a trace of disgust in the depths of his eyes. However, when he thought about how he had once had some romantic affairs with this woman a long time ago, he would feel bad if he did not help her today.
Thinking of this, Martinez smiled at Jian Xi Lai and said, "Holy Maiden, although Lillian's temper is a little bad, it is not enough for her to die. How about this, you have already broken her limbs, and even if she recovers in the future, I'm afraid she will not even be able to compare to the late stage of the Human Devil.
"Alright then, I'll give you face."
A cold glint flashed across Jian Xi Lai's eyes, and then he walked straight out of the hall. Martinez wanted to say something, but when he saw that Jian Xi Lai did not seem to have any intention of talking to him, he immediately shut his mouth.
Lillian hid behind Martinez and stared at Jian Xi Lai with venomous eyes.
"Sigh, what a pity. This Elder Martinez came at the right time. If he didn't come, that old shrew Lillian would have died today."
Spider Wen looked regretful.
Ning Qi had originally left with Jian Xi Lai, but when he passed by Lillian, a saber light flashed in his hand. As his aura was very weak, Martinez was not on guard against Ning Qi at all. By the time he reacted, Lillian's head had already been split in half, and her brains splattered all over the ground.
Lillian, a Full Circle Human Devil, had died on the spot!
In fact, Lillian would not have died so easily. After all, she was a Full Circle Human Devil. However, her limbs had been cut off by Jian Xi Lai, and she was seriously injured. Her health had dropped to an extremely low point. Then, like Martinez, she had never thought of guarding against Ning Qi, which was why she had been directly killed by Ning Qi's invincible Dragon Slayer Saber. There was still a trace of shock and unwillingness in Lillian's gray eyes.
There was no notification from the system. Ning Qi did not know if there would be any reward for killing Lillian. After all, the system was in the process of upgrading.
Spider Wen looked at Ning Qi with her mouth agape, unable to react. However, Jian Xi Lai was slightly stunned. The next moment, his figure flashed and appeared in front of Ning Qi, standing between him and Martinez.
"What's going on?"
Jesse and the guards of the Temple of the Saint Lady were dumbfounded.
"You... killed Lillian?"
Martinez's eyes were filled with anger as he stared at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi smiled. "My hand slipped just now. Sorry."
"Martinez, you heard him. His hand just slipped."
Jian Xi Lai looked at Martinez coldly.
Martinez wanted to lose his temper, but the position Jian Xi Lai was standing had clearly told him that he must be on Ning Qi's side. To become enemies with Jian Xi Lai over a dead person... Perhaps Martinez would have done so before, but after seeing the four wings behind Jian Xi Lai, Martinez felt that it was not a wise choice to offend her.
"Haha, so it was a slip of the hand."
Martinez nodded with a fake smile. With a light tap of his finger, Lillian's body was burned to ashes.
"Lillian was unlucky. She can't blame anyone else. Saint, I've had a long day. I'll take my leave first."
Martinez smiled and turned to leave. Seeing this, Jesse quickly followed Martinez. When he passed by Ning Qi, his face was full of vigilance, as if he was afraid that Ning Qi's hand would slip again. However, he didn't consider that Lillian was only a Perfect Stage Human Demon and was seriously injured, while he was an early Earth Demon. Unless Ning Qi was an idiot, how could he attack him?
Soon, Jesse followed Martinez smoothly and left the Temple of the Saint Lady. He was relieved.
"Jesse, I want that kid's information. Send it to the Elder Cabinet tomorrow!"
