Nangong Xue said, "I was just curious. How did you get hurt? Looks like your injury is not light! Haven't you always been arrogant and self-proclaimed to be invincible? Which great hero has the ability to injure you? You should really worship him. You won't dare to boast anymore, will you? "Her words were full of mockery, but at the same time, there was a hint of joy in them.
Jiang Liechen said unhappily, "Don't mock me. This is just a small injury, it's nothing. You don't need to be so proud. I'm not your invincible Shixiong. Humph … what's so great about that little bastard? If I didn't deliberately let him off, how could I let him be so arrogant? "
Nangong Xue was deep in thought, but the first thing that came to her mind was Xuan Shuang. Jiang Liechen didn't know if he was talking to her or talking to himself, but he said indifferently, "He's a chess piece that I set up, the Manchurian Prince Cheng of the Manchurian Dynasty, Shangguan Yaohua. Do you understand? He really cares about you, but you don't want to give him anything in return? That little bastard really knows how to pretend to be magnanimous. He even returned the Residual Shadow Sword to me, saying that he doesn't want to use my weapon. Now that he's still useful, I can't bear to kill him for the time being … "
Nangong Xue was slightly surprised, "He … he actually came alone to save me?" At this moment, she couldn't tell what she was feeling. She had always felt that Shangguan Yaohua was cold and indifferent to others. Could it be that he had unknowingly started to treat her as a friend? Or could it be that the friendship and warmth between the two of them could really make frozen flowers bloom?
Jiang Liechen said, "How do you know he did it for you? I think it's highly possible that it was Prince Fu who told him to do it. " After a while, she felt inexplicably irritated. Her fingernails dug into the wounds on her shoulder, tearing them open. Seeing the blood gushing out, she said coldly, "Let me ask you, I clearly told him that the wounds caused by the Residual Shadow Sword would not heal. Why did he still hurt me so decisively?"
Nangong Xue sneered, "Do you need me to say something nice? Perhaps it was because he was worried about this that he avoided the vitals. "Jiang Jianchen was slightly taken aback. A smile finally appeared on his face as he said," At least you know how to talk. "
Nangong Xue also snorted coldly and said, "Do you care? Unfortunately, being nice was always just an illusion. I know you're unhappy and want to find some excuses to vent your anger on me. I can hide for a while, but I can't hide forever. What's there to worry about? If you keep up the routine, you will only make more people hate you and spurn you. If you want to hit me, then go ahead! "
Jiang Jianchen stood up from the side of the bed and looked down at her from above. After a while, he lifted her chin and said, "As long as you agree to put on a show with me, I can forgive him and not pursue your offense. What do you think? "Nangong Xue knew that nothing good would come out of his mouth. But the situation was under his control, if she did not comply, her fate would be even more miserable. She could only nod.
Shangguan Yaohua was waiting outside, feeling that time was passing very slowly. He wanted to break in and see what was going on. He really suspected that Jiang Liechen was trying to renege on his promise. But although he was not a man of his word, he was still unwilling to go back on his word. He counted silently in his heart, about a hundred or so. Finally, the two doors in front of him opened. Compared to the darkness outside, the inside of the room was faintly illuminated.
However, in the silence, this tiny bit of light seemed especially ominous. It was as if there was an evil hidden under the light that was ready to move. His heart was beating faster than a pendulum. After a while, he finally gathered his courage. He saved Nangong Xue out of sincerity, he was not a coward who would shrink back in the face of danger. He clenched his fists and stepped in.
At first, his eyes were almost blinded by the bright light. There was a woman sitting in the corner, her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her slender jade-like hand was holding a dark green comb. Her green fingers were slowly combing her hair, looking like a fairy. Her face was serene, without the slightest trace of panic after being captured for many days, nor the pain of being tortured. Everything was as beautiful as a painting.
But looking at her face, she was indeed Nangong Xue. After days of anxiety and fear, finally seeing her safe and sound, there was no joy that could compare to this. He took a few steps forward and asked tentatively, "Ah Xue, is that you?"
The comb in Nangong Xue's hand fell from her light hair. She slowly turned her head. Her eyes were empty, but there was a kind of desire in her expression. Shangguan Yaohua had always been alert, and now he felt that something was wrong. His hand stopped in midair. He frowned and said, "Ah Xue, what's wrong? It's me! I … I'm here to take you back. "
Nangong Xue smiled and said, "It's been hard on you." But her eyes were still cold and there was no trace of a smile. Shangguan Yaohua's heart was alarmed, and he quickly retreated. At the same time, Nangong Xue suddenly stood up from the bed, pulled out a soft sword that was tied to her waist, and fiercely slashed at Shangguan Yaohua. Fortunately, he retreated in time. The sword only cut his sleeve and did not hurt his flesh. Even so, he was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After going through untold hardships, you finally saw the person you cared about. You originally wanted to take her into your arms and comfort her. Who would have thought that this rumored victim would suddenly turn hostile and raise her sword to stab you? This was something that no one could have foreseen in such a short time. The shock contained in this was even more difficult to guard against than a sword from an enemy.
Nangong Xue stabbed empty air, and then continued to attack, one sword after another, as if she had some deep hatred for him and wanted to stab him to death on the spot. Shangguan Yaohua dodged left and right, and there were more cuts on his clothes. He was not Nangong Xue's match, and even if there was an opportunity, he would not want to hurt her while she was in his hands.
He tried to talk to her, hoping that he could call back some of her consciousness. Unfortunately, after trying for a long time, nothing happened. He was at a loss and said, "Ah Xue, open your eyes and look carefully, I … I'm not the one who wants to hurt you. You … what kind of torture did you go through … "His heart skipped a beat, and another thought flashed through his mind," Ah Xue has suffered too much, she's gone crazy. " As soon as he thought of this, his mind buzzed.
At this time, Jiang Liechen suddenly appeared from behind the pillar, half leaning, half standing, and said, "It's no use, unless you kill her, she'll always be like this. She'll be confused by the illusion and lose her consciousness. "
Shangguan Yaohua called out, "You came at the right time! Ahem … tell me, why did Xueer attack me? How did she lose her memory? What did you do to her? " While dodging Nangong Xue's sword attacks, his voice sounded weak, as if he was begging for mercy.
Jiang Liechen said, "I didn't do anything to her. She was poisoned by my 'Heart-Devouring Insect', and since then she has lost her ability to think. She only knows how to obey her master's orders and attack her enemies until she kills them. Don't think that you can say anything to move her. If you don't kill her, you'll die by her hands. I think you should be clear about this, right? "
Shangguan Yaohua angrily said, "Despicable villain! Ben Wang knew that you weren't that magnanimous! Isn't it because you want to take revenge for that sword attack just now? Why don't you be more straightforward and come straight at me? "
Jiang Liechen said, "You attacked me more than once? Moreover, have I done what I promised you? I only said that I would bring you to see her, but I didn't even mention whether she was alive or dead. "
Shangguan Yaohua was furious, but before he could retort, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head. He ducked his head to avoid the incoming sword, and his feet moved to dodge several steps. Nangong Xue's sword was already in front of him. Shangguan Yaohua didn't dodge, and said boldly, "Fine, if you want to kill me, then kill me! In any case, dying by your hands, I have no regrets! It's a hundred times better than fighting for power in the future, and being buried with a bunch of worthless trash! "
Nangong Xue's face was stiff and cold, her eyes unwavering. She raised her sword and thrust it toward Jiang Liechen's chest.
Jiang Liechen sighed, and suddenly flashed forward, raising his palm to strike Nangong Xue's back. Shangguan Yaohua was stunned, and Nangong Xue's sword fell to the ground with a 'ding' sound. Her body went limp, and she fell forward. Shangguan Yaohua stood still, allowing Nangong Xue to fall on his shoulder. He felt his face heat up. Jiang Liechen glanced at the two of them, and said, "You little brat, are you crazy? She wants to kill you, and you're just going to let her do it?"
Shangguan Yaohua said, "Because I know that you won't really kill me, right? So I win! "As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and suddenly thrust it forward. Jiang Liechen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw a dagger piercing his chest. This was different from the 'Afterimage Sword', and its offensive power was not on the same level. On the other side, Shangguan Yaohua ignored him, and gently supported Nangong Xue to prevent her from losing her balance. He cautiously and tentatively moved outwards.
After a while, Jiang Liechen suddenly raised his head and sneered, "You're too naïve. You might be able to escape on your own, but with this burden, you'll only be dragged to hell. " He pulled out the dagger from his chest, turned the hilt around, and threw it in the direction of the two people, leaving a trail of blood in the air. Shangguan Yaohua was completely focused on Nangong Xue, and did not notice the threat behind him. He fell to the ground without making a sound.
At the same time, Nangong Xue, who was originally expressionless, suddenly stood up from the ground and gently supported Shangguan Yaohua's head. She moved his head from her knees and helped him lie down on the side. Then she straightened up, walked back to Jiang Liechen's side, and sighed, "I really don't understand why you planned this. Did you want to be stabbed a few more times? "
Jiang Liechen did not answer, and casually wrapped up his wound, and sneered, "I told you, I won't die, no matter how many injuries I have. Shangguan Yaohua, this brat, is really bold, isn't he? Even for me, he can slash and stab me whenever he wants. " Nangong Xue could not hear the emotion in his voice, and said anxiously, "He's always been like this, and this time he did it for me. Don't … don't hurt him. "
Jiang Liechen walked to Shangguan Yaohua's side, and checked his pulse. He waited until Nangong Xue was restless, and then said, "Don't you think you have too many people to protect? Moreover, if I wanted to hurt this brat, I wouldn't have stayed until today. Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll send him back. As for you, don't dream about reuniting with your family. The news of the Heart-Biting Insect will soon reach Li Yijie's ears. Don't you think this is a good idea? "
Nangong Xue saw his evil smile, and did not know what kind of scheme he had in mind, and her hair stood on end. She asked tentatively, "What's a good idea?" Jiang Liechen said, "The name is good, and this idea is worth putting into practice."
The Heart-Biting Insect's effect was to completely control the minds of others, and turn them into cold-blooded, heartless demons. At the same time, it could increase the body's potential by a hundredfold, and its benevolence would be lost, but its divine sense would not decrease, and it would be invulnerable in battle.
