Jiang Liechen's eyes widened. Seeing the bead closing in on him, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His face was so ferocious that it seemed like blood would burst out of it at any moment. He angrily said, "What kind of joke is this? How could I possibly lose to you? Go to hell! " He suddenly increased his strength and immediately forced the bead back. Although this process was extremely slow, the bead was still moving towards Li Yijie.
It was about to enter the sword hilt. At that time, Li Yijie would most likely face the fate of being completely swallowed by the afterimage sword's backlash. Jiang Liechen was very pleased with himself. The ferocious smile on his face gradually widened.
As the bead slowly approached, Li Yijie felt his mind becoming blocked. It was as if a layer of invisible shadow was enveloping him. His mind was in a daze. He thought to himself, "Could it be … that I'm really done for?"
His ears also began to buzz. It was as if he could hear a low voice from the heavens. It was extremely tempting. "Not bad. You've already done your best. Just let it go like this. Fall into an eternal slumber. Have a good rest! "Li Yijie's eyelids became heavier and heavier. The strength in his hands gradually relaxed.
Nangong Xue was standing closest to Li Yijie. She saw with her own eyes that his state of mind was chaotic. It seemed as if he would immediately enter the devil's path. At this time, she no longer cared about anything. Even if she died, she would die with her martial brother. She called out, "Martial brother, don't …" She dashed forward without a care for her own safety. She pressed the Cry of the Cangquan Dragon onto the afterimage sword. Her other hand hugged Li Yijie's neck. She sobbed, "Martial brother, look at me. I'm right beside you. We still have hope. Please don't give up so easily! "Drops of tears rolled down her face. Li Yijie seemed to be moved. He turned his head extremely stiffly.
Nangong Xue seemed to have seen hope. While she was gratified, another drop of tears rolled down and landed on the two overlapping swords. She saw a silver light suddenly rise. The Cry of the Cangquan Dragon was actually gradually sinking into the afterimage sword. This was different from the Twin Swords Combination in the past. Instead, it was a complete replacement and absorption.
Nangong Xue was slightly shocked, but she did not rush to stop him. She looked at the colorful flowing light in the air, as if a holy light was rising and lingering around it. The black gas gradually weakened in the light until it completely disappeared. The Cangquan Dragon's Roar also completely merged into the Residual Shadow Sword and disappeared.
Jiang Liechen turned pale with shock and muttered to himself, "What the hell is going on?" After this unforeseen event, the holy light on the Residual Shadow Sword shone brightly, and a powerful force suddenly erupted, pushing the bead back at an extremely fast speed. Before Jiang Liechen could even react, the bead had already struck his palm like a bolt of lightning. With a loud bang, Jiang Liechen was seriously injured. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and hurriedly retreated.
Li Yijie followed up with another attack. His sword slashed at Jiang Liechen's body, and streaks of golden light seemed to even cover his body. With a loud shout, the sword finished its final move. Like a sudden clap of thunder in the sky, the power of the move was earth-shattering. It tore through the dark clouds in the sky, pierced through the abyss, and exploded on Jiang Liechen's chest.
Jiang Liechen's body flew backwards. He was no match for the power of the move. Like an arrow released from a bow, streaks of blood trailed from the corners of his mouth. They drifted through the air and dripped into the ground. His vest broke through tree trunks and connected them together in a row. It was a spectacular sight to behold.
Just the continuous impact of the attack had caused him considerable damage. Finally, the remaining momentum was exhausted. He fell heavily to the ground, no longer moving. Li Yijie propped up his sore limbs, forced himself to regain consciousness, and rushed to where Jiang Liechen had fallen. Although the rest of the people were exhausted, this matter concerned the fate of the Wulin world. They didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly followed.
Jiang Liechen's back was against a large tree. He had fallen to the ground. His head was tilted to one side. His messy hair covered his face, but large patches of blood could still be seen through the cracks. His face revealed deep exhaustion. At this moment, he no longer looked like an arrogant overlord who had committed all kinds of evil. Instead, he looked like a starving and cold beggar who had nowhere to go.
The original Manor Lord tentatively approached him and checked his breathing. He turned his head and said, "Yijie, he still has one last breath left. Take advantage of the fact that he hasn't woken up yet. Quickly finish him off with a palm strike. This calamity can finally be ended in our hands. It can be considered a great merit. "
Li Yijie hesitated. He slowly raised his palm, which was filled with zhenqi. Just as he was about to strike, a shadow suddenly rushed from the side. The shadow fell to his knees and begged, "Alliance Master Li, I beg you to be merciful and spare him!" It was Cheng Jiaxuan. They all recognized her as the little girl who had raised the 'improper idea' at the headquarters. Manor Lord Ping sighed and said, "You should understand the principle of eliminating all evil. Moreover, if we let him go today, who knows if he will still let us go when he recovers his strength? "
Cheng Jiaxuan moved her knees and rubbed the ground. She grabbed Li Yijie's trousers and begged, "Alliance Master Li, I beg you, please don't hurt him! If worst comes to worst … just kill me. Just kill me. Let me die in his place. Let me take his punishment! "Manor Lord Liu had a fiery temper. He couldn't help but fly into a rage." Preposterous! Alliance Master Li never promised you anything! How can you take someone's place for a death sentence? Besides, little girl, your status is low. Your life or death is not worth mentioning! "
Cheng Jiaxuan was anxious, she kowtowed again and again until her forehead bled from hitting the stone. She said, "Can you just give him to me on the account that I'm risking my life to plead for you? Let me go with him. I … I just want to be together with him! "
Xuan Shuang supported his forehead with one hand and coldly swept his gaze over her. It was a very satisfying moment. It was also a crucial moment to decide the outcome of the battle. If she insisted on interfering with the Alliance Master's punishment of the main culprit, others would be filled with righteous indignation and would rush to punish her on the spot. He had clearly said that he wouldn't care about her anymore, but when the time came, he couldn't help but be soft-hearted. He was afraid that sooner or later, he would also fall because of his good intentions. He quickly rushed forward, pulled her up, and pulled her away. He ruthlessly threw her out of the crowd and sulked alone.
Li Yijie's palms were hanging high. Her mind was filled with the time when the two of them first started their journey together. There was no scheme, no deception, no exploitation, no hostility. There was only a kindred spirit between the two of them, a mutual appreciation.
At that time, she was just a young and inexperienced disciple. She watched Jiang Liechen formulate a series of plans to deal with all kinds of unexpected events. She could control all kinds of variables in the palm of her hand. It was not that she didn't envy him, but she was too inexperienced and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Then she saw that his martial art skill was unprecedentedly high among his peers. Not only she couldn't be his opponent, she couldn't even touch his skin. At that time, being able to be his brother was the greatest honor. She worshipped him as if he was an immortal. Later on, she found out that he was a member of the Devil Cult. Her image fell from heaven all the way to hell. The blow was especially severe, so she hated him even more.
Thinking about the past, she always felt that Jiang Liechen's current situation was not only because of his own evil deeds, but also because of the Wulin world's righteous way's prejudice and indifference. If they had been more tolerant of him, he wouldn't have become so cynical. Thinking about it this way, he was not unforgivable.
She sighed and walked behind him. Her palm fell on his back and did not move for a long time. A burst of white smoke rose from the top of their heads, a layer of dark light quietly circulated. Even a complete layman of martial art could see that Li Yijie's action was not an execution, but more like she was circulating her internal energy to treat his injury.
Cheng Jiaxuan's wrist was being held by the Xuan Shuang. Seeing Li Yijie repaying evil with good, she could not stop her eyes from brimming with tears. In the past, the thing she would love to see the most was the ruthless way the Devil Cult people cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. She was not used to seeing the righteous way people's hypocrisy. But this time, she was so grateful that she wished she could kneel down in front of Li Yijie on the spot. No matter what his real purpose was, just this mercy was enough to make her shed tears of gratitude. Thinking about how she had repeatedly offended Li Yijie in the past, she felt deeply guilty for the first time. She wished she could kowtow to him on the spot.
Manor Master Xia and the others saw that their Alliance Master was confused and wanted to stop them. Yuan Yi waved her hands and stopped them. She said in a low voice, "That is the Alliance Master's battle. Let him settle this with his old enemy. It is enough that we respect his choice. "
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Liechen slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were half open as he looked at the scene in front of him. Not long after, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The scene of the battle between him and Li Yijie came back to his mind. All kinds of vivid feelings and what he saw proved that everything was real. He could not help but smile bitterly. "Ah, so I lost?" Li Yijie laughed dryly. "I'm sorry, Brother," he said. "It looks like I won."
Jiang Liechen laughed bitterly. His gaze turned to the sky. "I just don't understand. The strength of mortals is so insignificant. What can they do? You clearly know the difference in strength between us. Why don't you give up and bow down to me? What is it that keeps you guys going … until the last moment? "
Li Yijie said, "Because I have something I must protect. I am different from you. I have the love for my family and friends. I have the responsibility to the people of the world. I want them to live a happy life. I want them to never be threatened by the demon. For the sake of everything that I cherish and care about, I absolutely cannot lose this battle. "
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly. "Whether I want to or not is one thing. Whether I can do it or not is another. I … I don't believe that the power that I've painstakingly obtained will be so weak that it can't even withstand a single blow. I don't believe … how can the few of you defeat the demon? "
Li Yijie smiled faintly. "I told you this a long time ago. Most of the time, strength doesn't mean everything. The truly powerful and invincible thing is the strength of the heart. No matter how great one's achievements were, there would always be limits to one's abilities. If you can unite your friends and help you, isn't that the same as obtaining the greatest strength? Maybe you don't care about this and think that it's not true strength. But think about it. If your friends are willing to help you at any time, you will no longer be fighting alone. You can always rely on the strength of your allies. In this way, how is it different from your own strength? "
Jiang Liechen laughed coldly. "You make it sound so dignified! You are just a bunch of despicable, shameless scoundrels colluding with each other! You only know how to use tricks to win. You call them your allies, but in your heart, aren't you just using them? Wait until I recover my strength. Sooner or later, I will make you die without a burial ground! "
Manor Master Liu was the first to lose control. He raised his hand and slapped Jiang Liechen's face. "You brat, you are about to die and you still dare to be so arrogant! Now is not the time to abuse your power! Don't think that Alliance Master Li doesn't care about the past. Just because he saved your life, he has nothing to fear! Wait until we finish interrogating you, then we can kill you! Hmph, wait until you recover your strength? Will you be able to recover your power? Who knows if you can live until then? "
Jiang Liechen laughed mournfully. He laughed until he was out of breath. "It's true that when a tiger falls, it will be bullied by dogs! What kind of status do you have? How dare you hit me? If Li Yijie wants to protect himself, he should kill me immediately! After all, your so-called righteous path is just a bunch of scoundrels who only know how to take advantage of people's difficulties and kick people when they are down! Hey, Li Yijie, why did you save me? Was it just to show off in front of me? Or did you want to humiliate me in front of others to show off your chivalrous Alliance Master demeanor? "
Li Yijie knew that Jiang Liechen's back was facing him and he couldn't see his expression, but he still shook his head. "No, because you are my brother."
