Jiang Liechen couldn't bear to hear her finish and reprimanded, "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! This is the biggest joke I've ever heard! What is your Dao? Do you want to convert me too? Do you want me to become a Buddha? Do you want me to shave my head and become a monk in a random temple? Do you want me to knock on that stupid wooden fish all day long until my whole body turns into a block of wood? "
Nangong Xue said softly, "No, whether you become a monk or not, it's just a form of severing the six senses. If you can truly do good, then there will always be good times and good places everywhere. There are too many good deeds worth doing. You also want to live a normal life again, right? You don't have to live without a fixed residence and hide here and there. You also don't have to be despised by everyone like a rat crossing the street. "
Jiang Liechen sneered, "I don't want to be lumped together with you lowly commoners. In the Dao I follow, you are as lowly as ants. Only I am the one and only supreme in the entire world. What benevolence and virtue? Only power that surpasses everything is the truth! The one hiding here and there is not me, but you useless losers! Your life is already in my hands. I can crush you to pieces with a flick of my finger. Yet here you are, boasting to me and preaching the Dao of Kindness? Don't you think this is too ridiculous? "
Nangong Xue's eyes were cold, "I never thought of myself as a person with integrity. But I don't care about your threats at all. Of course you can easily kill me, but what good will it do you? It will only make you go one step further on the path of destruction. "
Jiang Liechen said, "You're stalling for time. Are you hoping that I will be kind enough to let you go, or that Li Yijie will come and save you? Let me tell you, it's impossible for you to do either. Since I asked you to die today, you must die. "Almost without any warning, a ball of palm energy struck out.
Nangong Xue turned her body and dodged, drawing a short sword to meet the attack. She nimbly flipped between his attacks, blocking his fierce killing moves one by one. Seizing the gaps, she launched a few attacks.
Jiang Liechen responded with a sneer. His moves were swift and violent like a storm. In just a few moves, he had suppressed Nangong Xue's resistance. She was forced to the point where she could no longer retaliate. She even had to use all of her strength to parry. He said coldly, "If I say it's too late, then it's too late. Even if I intend to turn over a new leaf, I'll have to do it over your dead bodies. Aren't you particular about doing good deeds and accumulating virtue? Killing you won't bring me any benefits, but I'll be happy if my wish is fulfilled. There's a saying, 'Don't overlook a good deed just because it's small.' If your death can make people happy, then you've done a good deed. You should just stand there obediently and wait for death. If you're unwilling to do it because you're greedy for life, do you think it's your choice to do good? That can only mean that the salvation you told me is just a facade to deceive the world! "
Nangong Xue didn't reply. She fought wholeheartedly. After a few more moves, her clothes were torn apart, and the blood on her cheeks splattered. With a 'pu' sound, her wrist exploded with blood, and her dagger fell out of her hand. Jiang Liechen didn't forget to ridicule her, "Look at yourself. You can't even protect yourself. How can you talk about saving the world? This is what your so-called kindness will bring you in return! "
Nangong Xue didn't try to avoid it. She allowed him to create more wounds on her body. Her clothes were soaked in blood. She clenched her teeth and said, "I've never thought about saving the world! What I'm advocating is that everyone should do their duty, and everyone should do their part well! "
Jiang Liechen said, "Is that so? My part is to rule the world. Your part is to submit to me! " Aren't you going to abide by your duty? "He suddenly waved his sleeve, and Nangong Xue's chest was hit by a thunderbolt. She fell straight to the ground. Jiang Liechen sneered. His five fingers stretched out, aiming for the top of her head.
In that split second, a man in white suddenly appeared from the side. He jumped into the middle of Nangong Xue and raised his hand in front of Nangong Xue's forehead to block the palm for her. Then he quickly turned around and sent out both palms, exchanging another round of blows. Jiang Liechen was slightly startled. He felt that his opponent's' dan tian 'was empty. No matter how much internal energy he sent out, it dissipated in the blink of an eye. In this moment of carelessness, the man in white bent down and helped Nangong Xue up. He shouted, "Let's go!" and pulled her away.
Jiang Liechen didn't have time to adjust his internal energy. He shouted, "Don't go! Tell me your name! "The man in white didn't say anything. He threw out a smoke grenade, protecting Nangong Xue as they fled far away.
A thick layer of fog surrounded them, so thick that they couldn't see their own fingers. Although Jiang Liechen was proud of his superior martial arts and superior eyesight, he still couldn't see anything in this thick fog. He raised his hand and randomly swept it around, but the fog was still as thick as a substance. This smoke grenade seemed to have been specially made. When the fog finally dissipated, the two men had disappeared without a trace. This time they were too far away, so he couldn't even distinguish the sound of their footsteps. His heart was filled with hatred and anxiety. He fiercely punched a tree.
By this time, Shangguan Yaohua had just arrived. When he saw Nangong Xue escape danger, he heaved a sigh of relief. He pulled Jiang Liechen and said, "What's going on? Why are you so impulsive? Didn't I warn you a long time ago that if you want to threaten Li Yijie, you have to deal with Nangong Xue. Her life is more important than her death! If you execute her now, in the future you will force Li Yijie to do something desperate … "
Jiang Liechen was in no mood to argue with him. He shouted, "The one who serves Prince Fu is you, not me. I don't need to consider your damn mission. Don't talk nonsense! Get lost! " He fiercely swung his arm and pushed him to the side. He hatefully said, "Nangong Xue, don't think you can escape from the palm of my hand! The whole world is under my control, where do you think you can hide? I want you dead! I want Li Yijie to have a taste of what I felt at that time! "

When Nangong Xue fell to the ground, she closed her eyes and waited for death. Suddenly her body felt light. She only had time to see a man in white pulling her up. Then there was a 'bang' behind her and she fell into a vast expanse of whiteness. She was pulled by that man all the way until she was about to collapse from exhaustion. She was finally able to stop. That man was still standing with his back to her and did not say a word.
Nangong Xue did not know whether he was good or bad to her, but he had saved her life. She could not remain silent. Just now in front of Jiang Liechen, she still dared to speak bluntly. But now in front of this stranger, she lost all her courage. After mustering up her strength for half a day, she finally said, "This … this savior, may I ask for your honorable name?"
The man in white said, "Me? My surname is not Gao, and my name is not that big. If you really want to call me 'Lao Qianbei', you can just call me 'Lao Qianbei'. "
Nangong Xue suspiciously rolled her eyes. She heard his voice was clear and his back was ramrod straight. He did not have the 'hunchback' of an old man. Just now, he had been pulling her all the way, so his legs were extremely nimble. Although an old man could also be 'old but still have strength', there was still a difference. Moreover, not a single strand of his hair had turned white. She did not believe that there was a 'rejuvenation' technique in this world. She tried calling him 'Lao Qianbei', then said, "Turn around and let me see."
The man in white said, "Little girl, you're so rude! Since you want to see me, you should turn around on your own. How can an old man like me turn around and cater to you? These old bones of mine will fall apart if I move them too much! "
Nangong Xue thought that this voice sounded like it belonged to a young man who was close to her age. She thought about how she was panting from the running just now, but from his tone, it seemed like he was not affected at all. This was definitely not something an ordinary person could do. If that was the case, how could his bones fall apart so easily? But what he said was not without reason. She said, "Alright, then I'll turn around." As she said that, she slowly walked from the back to the side.
The man in white said, "Children nowadays are becoming less and less respectful to their elders. What's so good about this old man? I'm just a senile and ugly old man. "As he said that, he habitually reached out to stroke his beard. Unexpectedly, he grabbed nothing under his chin, and his heart skipped a beat.
At this time, Nangong Xue had already turned around. As soon as she saw him, she cheered, "Young Master Yuan, it's you! Great! Are you playing with me? He even said that he was old and clumsy. He's clearly a graceful and handsome young master! "
If it were any other young man, even if he did not say it out loud, he would be overjoyed to hear such praise. However, Yuan Yi was extremely depressed. He reached out to touch his face and called out, "Aiya? What's going on? What a blunder! A blunder! Where did the white eyebrows and white beard that I specially glued on go? "
Nangong Xue laughed and said, "You're still talking about it! Why did you have to pretend to be an old man to play with me? You even tricked me into calling you 'Senior' a few times. Aren't you ashamed? "
Yuan Yi said seriously, "There's no need to be ashamed. The term 'Senior' doesn't necessarily have to be old to count. For example, if I'm stronger than you in any way, then I can be called Senior. Didn't I save your life? But, ai! To think that I dressed up as an old man to save you, just to get a few words out of you and make you call me 'Senior' a few more times. Or maybe I could teach you a few sword techniques so that you'd be happy and call me your god-grandfather or something. "
Nangong Xue laughed and said, "You wish!" However, when she thought about it carefully, she frowned and said, "What's going on? You had the opportunity to 'specially' disguise yourself. You must've started preparing a few days ago. What, you already knew that I'd be in danger? "
Yuan Yi said, "Yes. The hermit's divine foresight … "Seeing Nangong Xue's unhappy expression, she hurriedly changed her words and said," In the end, seeing is believing! I wandered here a few days ago. I wanted to stay here for a day and then return, but I accidentally discovered your whereabouts. It seems that you had a quarrel with Alliance Leader Li and ran out in a fit of pique. I was worried, so I observed for a few days. These days, I kept seeing people of unknown origin looking around here. They seemed to have you as their target. Ai, to be exact, those shitai were all people who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Other than you, who else could cause so much trouble? I didn't take care of them for you. I just wanted to follow the clues to find the real culprit. But that person never showed up. I was about to lose my patience. Finally, my efforts paid off and I waited for you for so long. "
Nangong Xue could only smile bitterly. From his tone, it seemed that the fact that she was in danger was something worth looking forward to. It was a good opportunity for him to show off his skills. Yuan Yi followed up with another question, "But, how many atrocities have you actually committed? How did you provoke such a powerful enemy? "
