Li Yijie shouted, "Unrepentant, let's fight him to the death!" He leaped up and brandished his sword horizontally. Jiang Liechen's eyes flashed red as he swept the area in front of him. Everyone who got close to him was sent flying.
Xuan Shuang somersaulted in midair. He waved his hand and threw the Sun Lun. The Sun Lun carried a strong wind as it flew toward him. Jiang Liechen did not even bother to use the Afterimage Sword. He flicked his sleeve and swept it away. Xuan Shuang stepped on the bottom of the Sun Lun to eliminate his falling momentum. He somersaulted again, this time throwing the Moon Lun. He did this several times in a row, just like a child's' you throw me, I catch 'game. His posture did not change in the slightest.
Li Yijie saw the opportunity and leaped up at the same time as the former Manor Master. His two swords pierced forward, one to the chest, the other to the back. Because he was in the same routine, his thinking and defense would become inertia. This time, whether it was his thinking or the strength of his hands, they would be much less than usual. The Xuan Shuang's intention was to create this kind of effect. Unfortunately, Li Yijie and the others understood it too late.
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly. His sleeve blocked in front of him, blocking Li Yijie's attack. His other hand held the Afterimage Sword's hilt and exerted a bit of strength. A stream of internal energy flowed along the sword's edge into the ground, creating a crack in the ground.
The former Manor Master did not expect the ground to crack. Even if his attack succeeded, he was afraid he would fall into the crack. He had no choice but to give up on his attack and quickly leaped to the side. Even in the Righteous Path, there were not many people who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of eliminating demons and protecting the Dao, let alone the former Manor Master. But leaping up and then using secret projectiles to attack did not match his taste. In his opinion, if he dodged, he would lose. Either he would not lose, or if he suffered a loss, he should admit defeat and not act shamelessly.
When Jiang Liechen saw that the threat behind him was gone, he could only face Li Yijie head-on. He didn't even need to use his zhenqi. Just the powerful demonic energy emanating from Jiang Liechen's body was enough to push him back. With a flick of his sleeves, the weeds on both sides were completely pulverized. The soldiers hiding behind the weeds were also unknowingly killed.
Xuan Shuang stepped on the Glorious Sun Wheel and Moonlight Wheel. His body leaped in the opposite direction and landed behind the tree. Panting heavily, he thought to himself, "This can't go on. In a head-on confrontation, there will be a difference in strength between the two sides. I have to think of a way." His vision blurred and he suddenly saw a red light flash by. He hurriedly stuck his head out to take a look. The forest in front of him was unexpectedly empty.
The trunks of the trees had disappeared, leaving only a few bare stumps on the ground, which resembled a plain. A blue-clothed figure was standing in the distant clearing. Her face was frightened and she was quite far away from Li Yijie. She stood alone and looked helpless.
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly and said, "Oh, so you are here." Then his face turned serious and he said, "To avoid future trouble, accept your death." The red light around his body surged wildly, as if in a flash it gathered on both of his arms. Two red balls of light condensed on the bottom of his hands until they reached a certain level of strength. He turned them around and converged them in front of his body. These two powers came from the same source. As soon as they merged, they formed a dark red curtain of light. This kind of power was even more tyrannical than before on the battlefield. Perhaps no one in this forest would be able to escape.
Just as he was about to launch his attack, a shadow suddenly landed in front of him. The distance was so close that he really wanted to scold him to his face and say, "Do you not want to live?" Then he looked clearly and saw that the person was Li Yijie. Thinking about how he had always been known to 'not want to live', it was not strange at all. At this time, Li Yijie was also very different from before. His entire body was surging with internal energy, but compared to his opponent, he paled in comparison. He had no chance of winning.
Jiang Liechen thought, "Just right, I'll deal with you two at once. That will save me a lot of trouble." Just as he was concentrating on accumulating his internal energy, a shovel suddenly chopped towards his back. Jiang Liechen did not turn his head. He raised his foot and kicked back, causing Manor Master Xia's strength to deviate.
Nangong Xue could not bear to see Li Yijie take the risk for her. She called out, "Martial Brother, don't! You … quickly dodge! " Then she dashed to his side. Xuan Shuang cursed in his heart, "If you didn't go, maybe he would still have a chance to live. There is a saying that beauty is a source of calamity. Why do you have to drag him down with you … "
Although Li Yijie often disregarded life and death, in a critical moment, he did not wait passively for death. Suddenly he leapt to the side, learning from Yuan Yi's movements to confuse the enemy. Intentionally or unintentionally, he bumped into Nangong Xue. His feet did not stop moving, and he pushed Manor Master Xia away. In his haste, he saved the two people. Three times he turned around and exchanged palms with Jiang Liechen.
This time the two palms collided with each other. The force of the collision was enormous, spreading out for thousands of li. In a flash, the entire forest was razed to the ground. Tall trees were uprooted. Bursts of white smoke rose, filling the air in front of everyone's eyes. Even the sky was covered in a gloomy fog, accompanied by a choking smell.
Xuan Shuang had just heard a loud rumbling sound, shaking the earth. He grabbed onto the tree trunk with both hands to prevent himself from being shaken off. But when he looked around, other than a few people, the ground was full of rolling corpses. Broken limbs were strewn all over the ground. Li Yijie's chest heaved up and down. Using his sword as a support, he struggled to stand firm. His two sleeves had already been cut open. Nangong Xue held Li Yijie's arm and stood by his side, resolutely confronting Jiang Liechen.
On the other side, not only was Jiang Liechen unscathed, but his zhenqi surged. It seemed that he had not used his full strength. Then the red light in his hand slowly receded. When he withdrew his power, his momentum did not diminish. He smiled faintly and said, "You were able to take this move of mine. Seems like you're not bad, right?"
Li Yijie tried his best to hold back. He suppressed his breathing until his chest was about to explode. He let out a long sigh and said, "You're so talented. If you walk the Righteous Path, you'll achieve great things. Why bother degenerating yourself?"
Jiang Liechen sneered and said, "You make it sound so nice. Don't you so-called Righteous Path people all see us as evil and deviant? Do you think that everyone should be killed? No matter what his nature is, what he does, and whether or not it's out of his heart, just his external identity alone cannot be forgiven. Just because of these things that cannot be changed, you casually sentence people to death and even want to claim that you're enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens? Who has ever thought of accepting me? Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's talk about you, Alliance Head Li. When I traveled with you eight years ago, it's true that I used you to search for the Soul-severing Tear. But ask yourself honestly, have I ever done anything wrong to you? Just because I'm the Young Master of the Demonic Sect, a sect that can't coexist with your Righteous Path, you immediately broke off relations with me for the sake of chivalry. You didn't even give me a chance to explain. Afterwards, you wholeheartedly wanted to kill me. Why don't you tell me, was it you who made things difficult for me first, or was it me who made you my enemy for no reason? You personally destroyed my Sacrifice Shadow School and cut off my escape route. You won one round, and now you want to pretend to be a good person and persuade me to let go. How can there be such an easy thing? If you're already like this, there's no need to mention others. What right do you have to criticize me? "
Li Yijie sighed. "That's right," he said, "When I first stepped into Jianghu, I only had a smattering of knowledge. I only remembered what Shifu taught me when I was young. He said that the Demonic Sect's evil people were all vicious and merciless, wicked beyond redemption. We, the Righteous Path's disciples, should take on the responsibility of subduing the demons. In order to achieve their goal, they would use flowery words to confuse you. There were a lot of Qianbei whose martial art skill and reputation were first class, but because they listened to their bewitchment, step by step they walked down the wrong path and in the end ended up with their families broken and their families dead. If you want to strengthen your resolve, you don't need to pay attention to them. As soon as you see them, you'll immediately draw your sword and kill them. Therefore, when I found out that you were my enemy, I forced myself to quickly put an end to this matter. But life is a process of constant exploration, of making mistakes and then correcting them. When I realized that the Demonic Sect's people also have their own problems, and there is no lack of hypocritical and treacherous people in the Righteous Path. It turns out that to determine whether a person is worthy of deep friendship or not, one should not look at his position, but rather, one should look at his innate character. You are not incurable, therefore, I wanted to continue to be friends with you. But this time it was you who repeatedly spoke sarcastically to me, even continuously harmed Wulin's loyal and upright people, and also provoked the most important person by my side. How could I forgive you? But I think that an ambitious and ruthless person like you only cares about your own interests, everybody else is nothing but a chess piece in your hand. When one springboard is gone, you can immediately find the next one. A person like you, presumably you don't value the kind of cheap friendship between us very much, do you? Then why do you want to make a big fuss about this matter, clinging to this point and not letting it go? As if you have become like this, it is entirely because of me? "
Jiang Liechen angrily said, "Shut up! You are not me, how do you know that I don't care? You have been the Wulin Alliance Leader for a long time, you have long been used to it. How can you judge other people based on your own assumptions? In the past when I was in the Devil Cult, although my position was prominent, my subordinates respected and feared me, but they all kept their distance from me, and no one was willing to treat me with sincerity. How can you understand how painful it is to live under someone else's roof like this? When I came to Jianghu, you were the first person I recognized, and could barely be called a 'friend'. Only then did I realize that there were people who truly cared about you, who cared about you, who would help you without asking for anything in return … To have such a friend, how fortunate it is. But in the end? It seems that I am destined to leave everyone behind. Ha, what a joke, the world is so vast, why is it so unfair to me? Everyone betrayed me, and it was you who pushed me to hell with your own hands, so how can you expect me to let you go to heaven? In this world, only power is more reliable than those hypocritical feelings! Even if you can't make people revere you, at least you can make people listen to you on the surface! So from then on, I wholeheartedly pursued power, I wanted to rule the whole world, I wanted to be a king, I wanted to have everything under my feet! That wicked heaven did not tolerate me, so I degenerated and became a devil! Just like you said, I went against the heavens and became a sinner for all eternity! I was only doing what I was supposed to do, could it be that I was wrong? "
Nangong Xue said, "When you were working under the former Hierarch, in order to save your life, you didn't dare to disobey his requests. You couldn't help it, so you can't be blamed. But after you betrayed the sect and usurped the throne, not only did you not repent, you became even worse, doing even more evil things, a hundred times more abominable than the former Hierarch of the Demon Sect! This was your own choice, you can't blame anyone else. No one looked down on you, no one wanted to make things difficult for you, it was your mentality that decided the path you took, and also determined your fate. It was you who brought about your own destruction! "
Jiang Liechen looked up to the sky and laughed, saying, "Destruction? Shameless boasting! Look at the current situation, it is clear that I have the upper hand, so whose destruction do you think it is? Your so-called Heavenly Dao will only stand on the side of the strong, it won't bother about how many people he has killed and how many sins he has committed to obtain this power! If anyone wants to resist me, I will just kill all these people who overestimate themselves, and my foundation will remain strong for thousands of years! I am the victor, the ones who will die are you! "
At this time, Xuan Shuang came out from behind the tree and said coldly, "What a bunch of nonsense! This devil is stubborn, what's the point of talking to this kind of person? " His figure flashed, his feet stepped on the tree trunk, and he jumped into the air, slashing the Sun Wheel down on Jiang Liechen's head. Jiang Liechen waved his hand, and the wheel spun, sneering, "What, you still haven't learned? How can such a small trick hurt me in the slightest? "
