Li Yijie was distraught. "You know that's not true … Xueer," he said, "Why do you have to make things difficult for me? Do you know how much effort it took me to make this decision? "Nangong Xue said," It's you who's making things difficult for me! How's your decision? Is it very noble? Is it very great? It's enough for your name to be passed down through the ages. Should everyone build an ancestral hall to worship you? " Li Yijie felt a headache coming on. "Xueer," he said, "we're about to part. Must you speak so harshly?"
Nangong Xue sobbed, "What else do you want me to say? There's a saying that if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? You're already so cruel to your wife, how can you be merciful to the people of the world? You know very well that without you, my life is meaningless. If you insist on jumping, then I … "
Li Yijie was startled. He instinctively grabbed her shoulders and called out, "You can't do that! I knew you'd have this kind of reaction. That's why I wanted to end this once and for all. I want you to forget about me, forget about this heartless person! I can die, but I want you to live. You can't be impulsive and jump with me! Even if I die, you can't commit suicide. Do you understand? "
Nangong Xue laughed bitterly. "How interesting. You're the one who wants to kill yourself, yet you're the one who wants to persuade me to cherish my life? Ha … ha ha ha … "she suddenly shook her head." You think I care about you that much? Wrong, Li Yijie. You're overestimating yourself! I won't jump with you. I'll … I'll kill you with my own hands before you become a demon! "As soon as she finished speaking, a long sword flew out of her sleeve like lightning and rested horizontally on Li Yijie's neck.
Li Yijie was stunned. He looked at Nangong Xue. She didn't look like she was joking. He wasn't afraid of death. He was afraid that his plan would be ruined. "Xueer," he explained, "listen … listen to me. To die by your hands, I have no regrets. But now, I can't die yet … "
Nangong Xue said angrily, "What do you mean by 'not now'? Are you bent on perishing together with me? Senior Brother, are you going to submit to the Seven Baleful Demons just like that? No matter how capable he is, all of us should join forces and fight a vigorous battle against him. If we can't win, then we'll all die together! "
Li Yijie shook his head bitterly and said, "You don't understand the power of demons. What we saw at the volcano was only a Demon Chrysalis that had yet to take shape. I'm afraid that it could not even exert ten percent of its power. The current him can destroy an entire city in an instant … With the strength of us mortals, it's impossible for us to defeat such an opponent. " Nangong Xue said, "If that's the case, is it not enough to have one demon in the world? Do you want to add another?"
Li Yijie suddenly turned his head and said, "Absolutely not! I've already made plans for this. If I can perish together with him, it'll be a great blessing. If I fail, I have my own ways. I won't allow myself to exist in this world anymore! Even if I can't become the one who benefits the world, I won't be the one who bears the brunt of the disaster! "He clenched his fists in his trouser pocket, where he kept the bottle of Poisonous Dragon Bile.
Nangong Xue stared at him with teary eyes. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "That's right. In the end, I was too stupid. I naively thought that the great hero Alliance Leader Li, who cares about the world, would care about a little girl like me? If you died, what would I do … become a widow? "
Li Yijie raised his head slightly, revealing a red scar on his neck caused by a sharp sword. "That can't be helped. Everything in this world can't go according to one's wishes. I left a way out for you, but you didn't take it. Since you're willing to keep this memory, you have to bear all the consequences it causes! In this chaotic world, it's already extremely difficult to protect yourself. A gentleman can no longer do things based on his own wishes. "
The sword in Nangong Xue's hand trembled uncontrollably. With tears in her eyes, she said, "I'm not a gentleman. I'm just a selfish woman. Even if I die today, I have to try and see if I can keep you here. "She turned her sword and stabbed toward Li Yijie's chest. At first, she hesitated, but then she turned her feint into a real attack and fiercely chopped down.
Li Yijie had always understood this martial sister's temperament. He knew that once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't go back on it. She would do her best to achieve it. Just by looking at the speed of her movements, he knew that he couldn't be careless. His body suddenly turned. "Swish!" His sword left its scabbard and nimbly parried Nangong Xue's sword. His next move was no longer sloppy. He aimed for her neck.
Nangong Xue brandished her sword to parry, but when she fought with the old man, she had used up too much of her internal energy. She had also been in a deadlock with Li Yijie for a long time. Her wrist was already sore and numb. Halfway through, she couldn't raise her hand.
Li Yijie's kung fu was already very flexible. Since he wasn't fighting to the death with her, he still showed her some mercy. As soon as his hand touched her neck, he immediately loosened his grip and only managed to cut off one of the buttons on her neck.
Nangong Xue's clothes slipped halfway down her body, exposing her fragrant shoulder. Women have always valued their chastity very much. To expose one's chest in front of an outsider was an extremely shameful matter. But first, Nangong Xue had long regarded Li Yijie as her destined husband. Second, the situation was critical. She didn't have the luxury of being overly cautious.
When Li Yijie saw this, he had undoubtedly humiliated her ruthlessly. An anxious expression flashed across his face. He then thought that if he did this, he would be able to make her change from love to hate him. That would be a great help to him. Suppressing his concerned expression, he coldly said, "You've already lost. Do you still want to stop me? "
Nangong Xue silently pulled her clothes together and hastily tied a knot around her neck. She mournfully said, "Today's battle doesn't matter who wins or loses. It's a matter of life and death! If I can't change your mind, then I'm willing to fight to the death with you and me! "She suddenly turned her sword around and without pausing for even a moment, she stabbed toward Li Yijie's shoulder.
The sword flashed in front of his eyes. Nangong Xue's outer garment had already been thrown to the side. Inside, she was wearing a snow-white gown. Right now, with a sword in her hand and an arrogant expression on her face, she looked like a noble and inviolable goddess who had descended to the mortal world.
Li Yijie stared blankly for a moment, but he was better at controlling his emotions than Nangong Xue. He immediately put on a straight face and dodged to the side. His emotions and body movements were all in a state of high alert for battle. He backhanded his sword and stabbed out as fast as lightning. Now that he had delayed for a long time, the small amount of demonic blood he had absorbed surged around his body. His heart was filled with murderous intent. His eyes suddenly flashed red as he stabbed toward Nangong Xue's vital points. He didn't show any mercy.
Nangong Xue felt that it was extremely difficult for her to parry the attacks. At the same time, her heart felt cold. She had never thought that there would be a day when she would become an enemy of her martial brother. It wasn't a spar, but a real battle where she was putting her life on the line.
She had watched her martial brother's growth. She had seen him receive instruction from one expert after another and practice new martial arts manuals. She was secretly gratified, but she was also worried that his practice wasn't good enough. She was afraid that he would be bullied in Jianghu. She was also afraid that as the Wulin Alliance Leader, he would be criticized. It wasn't until now that she truly realized that her martial brother had unknowingly reached such a level. Every time her swords clashed with his, her wrists would become numb and she would withdraw her sword.
The red light in Li Yijie's eyes grew brighter and brighter. His sword cut off half of her sleeve. Nangong Xue cried out in alarm. She was afraid that Li Yijie had already turned into a demon. She tried to call out, "Martial Brother, Martial Brother, do you still recognize me?" She repeatedly waved her sword, trying to lure and lure him away from the blood pool.
Li Yijie didn't want to be hindered by Nangong Xue and wanted to force her into a corner. Although their positions were opposite, their goals coincided. After a few moves, one retreated while the other advanced. They arrived at the stone statue in front of the gate.
Li Yijie's consciousness was lingering between the human and the devil. His ears kept hearing faint calls, which sounded like heavenly music. He wasn't deeply poisoned to begin with. After a few collisions in his mind, he actually woke up. He humphed coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense!" He flipped his sword, pinched the tip of the sword with two fingers, and used the hilt to hit the acupoint on her chest. Nangong Xue immediately couldn't move. She cried in vain and said, "Martial Brother, don't. I beg you, don't …"
Li Yijie retreated step by step to the edge of the blood pool. His eyes were still glued to her face. He sighed and said, "Xueer, I've let you down in this life. Who told the world to make fools of people? Maybe we're not fated to be together. That's right, it should be like this. You should stay far away from me. Don't let me hurt you … "Tears fell from his eyes. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the rippling blood in the pool. The bloodthirsty side of his heart seemed to be drawn again. He stepped on the edge of the blood pool.
Nangong Xue saw his clothes and long hair fluttering behind his back. He was about to disappear with the wind, but halfway through he was controlled by the devil. His future was a clear path of no return. In that instant, she felt like dying. She thought about how she had risked her life and finally caught up with him at the last moment. Not only was she unable to stop him, she could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded. If she could move her body, she would have killed herself by slamming her head against the stone wall next to her.
Li Yijie stepped on the ground and was about to leap up when suddenly an iron caltrop was shot from the side and nailed to the edge of the pool. Li Yijie hurriedly retracted his foot and flew back half a zhang. He waved his hand and threw a hidden weapon. Nangong Xue's heart seemed to settle back into its original position. No matter who that person was, he was able to help her prevent her martial brother from becoming a devil. She secretly hoped that he wouldn't be hurt.
A small figure as light as a pigeon swung down from the beam and landed lightly in front of the blood pool. Hidden weapons littered the ground around him. He happened to be between Li Yijie and the pool. Wasn't that young man the Xuan Shuang? As soon as Li Yijie saw him, anger attacked his heart. His demonic blood's flare-up was somewhat suppressed. He sneered and said, "What? You little bastard still dare to come and see me? You personally promised that you would take care of my funeral, didn't you? What's going on now? "
The Xuan Shuang was neither anxious nor angry. He calmly said, "I didn't say that. What I said was that at most I would help you hide the truth, but I definitely wouldn't lie for you. She didn't want to drink that cup of water and I couldn't tell her the truth. Coincidentally, this Elder Qian came and became the scapegoat. This can only be called God's will. But in my opinion, you should be grateful that she came in time. If you want to die, just slit your own throat. Why go through all this trouble? At that time, the Seven Malevolent Demons would say that you were afraid before the battle and didn't hesitate to kill yourself to avoid disaster. The dead can't testify and you won't leave a good impression in front of the Jianghu people. Won't you just let those gossip-mongers speculate? It's a pity that your illustrious reputation will go down the drain! "
Li Yijie couldn't help but take a few steps closer to him. He frowned and said, "What do you mean? Perhaps there is a risk in exchanging blood, but how can you say that there is no doubt that I will die? "
The Xuan Shuang sighed and said, "I can't say for other people, but if it is you, there is no hope at all. It's also my fault that I didn't understand clearly beforehand. Demonic blood is the most yin and evil thing in the world, and you are a person full of righteous energy. I don't want to know, how can the two fuse? Moreover, you are sacrificing yourself for others for such a noble purpose. Demonic blood is born to be the enemy of the righteous path. The more corrupt the world is, the more beneficial it is to their strength. If they were to realize that there is still a bloodline in the world, wouldn't they want to get rid of it as soon as possible? Alright, it's my fault for lacking information. Now it's up to you to decide. I won't stop you. "As he said this, he stepped to the side, leaving enough space.
