Li Yijie said, "It's up to you whether you believe me or not. However, I have never harbored any ill intentions towards you. Everyone needs friends. No one can live in isolation, and you are no exception. In fact, you also want to integrate into the righteous path, don't you? It's only because everyone doesn't understand you and can't accept you that your thoughts and style have deviated. If you want to turn back now, it's still not too late. In fact, I have never been afraid of you. Even when you were at your most arrogant, including the moment you became a demon. On the contrary, I only have pity for you. "
Jiang Jianchen's body shook violently. He immediately recalled his childhood that was filled with darkness. In the village, he was isolated by the children of each family. He could only sit alone in the corner and watch them laugh and play. However, he could only watch from the corner. Often, he would sit there for an entire day. From sunrise to dusk, no one came to pay attention to him.
His emotions also changed again and again. At first, he was envious, but now he was jealous. Gradually, it became the deepest hatred. He thought to himself, "This world has also abandoned me. I must obtain great power and an unparalleled position. I want none of you to look down on me and worship me like a god …"
It was for this goal that when he found out the true identity of the little prince that he had fostered at home, he desperately grasped this opportunity and climbed up the ranks without regard for anything else. Now, Li Yijie actually said that he "only has pity for him". This made him feel as if all his previous efforts were in vain.
For many years, he sacrificed everything and gave up everything. However, in the end, he achieved nothing. He could only gasp for breath. Faced with the slaughter of everyone, he was unable to restrain his anger. He said, "What a joke! Don't act as if you know me very well. I have never needed anyone's pity or sympathy! I only want obedience. Everyone must respect me as their king. They must never disobey me! "
Li Yijie sighed and said, "Fine, then I will give you dignity. However, please forgive me. Your strength is indeed very strong. The reason I was able to win this time was mostly due to luck. However, I don't have the confidence to win against you again. So now, I can give you two options. First, you can join the Martial Union and serve the righteous path. Your status is on par with mine. With our vast abilities, if we can work together, we will definitely be able to create a career. It will also be a new beginning for you. As long as you have enough sincerity, I believe others will recognize you and not reject you. What do you think? "
Xuan Shuang said with a cold smile, "A leopard and mountains and rivers and mountains are easy to change. You want him to turn over a new leaf? That's even harder than taking his life! Don't you know that he lives' to live for the supreme position? "
Jiang Jianchen smiled coldly and nodded approvingly. He said, "Not bad. My adopted son knows me best! What I hate the most in my life is the righteous path of the martial arts world. Now you actually want me to be a lackey for the righteous path? It was simply a dream! Li Yijie, don't put on an act. Isn't the second option for me to die? Hmph, so this is how you get rid of your dissidents. Your methods aren't that good, huh? "
Li Yijie ignored his sarcasm and said, "The second option is to cripple your martial arts and let you go. In the future, you will have to rely on yourself in Jianghu. However, I'm afraid that when that time comes, your former enemies will hear the news and come knocking on your door. You will have to bear much more. It's better for you to stay. At least you can ask for some protection from the Martial Union. "
Xuan Shuang clashed the Sun and Moon Wheels in his hands. He snorted and said, "Union Master Li has agreed to let you go, but I haven't! Instead of being merciful, why don't you let me deal with him? " Li Yijie said, "If he doesn't have martial arts, he won't be able to stir up trouble in the future. We don't have to kill him. Let him off when possible. Just let him live! Since he is someone I want to protect, I won't let any power have the opportunity to harm him. "
Xuan Shuang snorted and said angrily, "You're really a good person!" He glared at him and said hatefully, "Consider yourself lucky!" He didn't argue any further.
Li Yijie turned to Jiang Liechen and said, "All kinds of gratitude and grudges in the world are caused by the pursuit of martial arts and the struggle for power. If you don't have martial arts, all of this will naturally cease to exist. Maybe you can turn over a new leaf and become a new person. You might be able to achieve something else. "He raised his palm and struck down heavily on Jiang Liechen's back.
Jiang Jianchen only felt his body shake violently, as if his heart and lungs had been turned upside down. Layers of True Qi rolled inside his body, but it stimulated a few sealed areas, and his originally depressed strength showed signs of recovery. Jiang Liechen was startled. His thoughts of certain death disappeared, as if all hope had come back to life. He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the instant when his internal energy touched the critical point. Whether or not he could break the seal and recover his strength depended on this moment.
Nangong Xue felt that Jiang Liechen's attitude was somewhat strange. From what she knew of him, he wasn't someone who would give up so easily. Since he gave in so easily, she wondered if there was some other scheme behind it. She stared at him with rapt attention. She saw his internal energy travel up the tree trunk, shaking the leaves above them until they fell down. Not long after, Jiang Liechen's eyes suddenly opened. His eyes flashed with a strange red light, just like when he first became a demon. At the same time, an extremely unusual surge of internal energy swept through his body. His expression was extremely fierce.
Nangong Xue's premonition suddenly broke through and erupted. "Senior Martial Brother, be careful!" she shouted. Then she saw Jiang Liechen quickly turn around and strike with his palm. The last thing she heard was his fierce voice saying, "You want to destroy my martial arts? Over my dead body! "
Xuan Shuang's reaction was extremely fast. He immediately raised his weapon to protect himself. He heard a loud boom and a dazzling white light spread in all directions. His body felt as if it had been thrown up. Grains of sand hit the side of his face. Under the waves of pain, he gradually lost consciousness.
After an unknown period of time, when Xuan Shuang regained consciousness, he found himself crouched on a branch that extended horizontally from the top of a tree. The ground had been ravaged by flying sand and stones. It was no longer the same as before. Everywhere was a mess. Corpses could be seen lying on the ground. Streams of blood had long dried up.
In midair, there was still dirt and stones flying everywhere. When he looked to his side, he saw Jiang Liechen standing in front of him. His back was facing him. His sleeves were raised high, blocking his body. Seeing that he had woken up, Jiang Liechen sneered and turned around. "Oh? You're finally awake? "
Xuan Shuang struggled to sit up. Still trying to look down, he asked, "Where are the others? Where are the others? "Jiang Liechen replied," I don't know. They're probably all dead. " Xuan Shuang snorted coldly. "That's good. Without those obstructing ghosts, we can finally have a decisive battle. This time, we must settle this old grudge! "
When Jiang Liechen heard his words, he threw his head back and laughed. "Sure enough, I was right! In the end, you're still the most similar to me! Very good, I didn't misjudge you. " As he spoke, he leaned the Afterimage Sword against his leg and pressed his hand on the sword's hilt. Layers of black gas curled around the sword. Compared to before, the sword trembled even more violently. Xuan Shuang braced his heel against a hard branch. With one hand on the tree trunk, he struggled to straighten his body. He frowned. "Oh … the Afterimage Sword? You took it back again? "
Jiang Liechen sneered. "This Afterimage Sword originally belonged to me. Li Yijie, that shameless thief, finally gave me the famous sword Cangquan Dragon's Cry. It can be said that his merits offset his demerits. Now that I've returned it to its rightful owner, what's wrong with that? Hey, you tell me first. Who was the one who came up with that series of plans just now? "
Xuan Shuang said, "That move was indeed a brilliant one. Knowing that he couldn't beat you in a head-on confrontation, he first planned to exhaust your strength and then used his strong points to attack your weak points. I think the key reason why you lost to us was precisely because of this move. Of course I hoped that I was the one who came up with it. Unfortunately … "
Jiang Liechen angrily said, "Who said I lost? Your so-called Great Ancient Demon-Sealing Formation is nothing more than a common acupoint sealing technique. Li Yijie wanted to cripple my martial arts. Unexpectedly, he hit the mark by a stroke of luck and provided me with a rare advantage. I took advantage of the fact that his internal energy was circulating inside his body, waiting for it to reach a critical point. Then I coordinated with him from the inside and outside and broke the restriction. Because of this, I've regained all my strength. As for that kid, I'm afraid even his corpse is nowhere to be found. "
Seeing that Xuan Shuang's expression didn't change, he laughed coldly and said, "Since you didn't come up with it, then it can only be Tang Yuancheng. Originally, I was considerate of other people's talents and wanted to recruit him for my own use. Who would have thought that he followed Li Yijie until his brain was damaged and unexpectedly didn't know how to appreciate kindness. Now he can only die in a foreign land. It's really lamentable. So what if it's you? "
Xuan Shuang was slightly startled. "What do you mean 'what if it's me'?"
Jiang Liechen said, "Since he was obsessed with his own righteousness and refused to follow orders, in the end everyone has their own aspirations and can't be forced. But I know that you're not that kind of stupid person who doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. Li Yijie is already dead, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals he brought with him have all been annihilated on this deserted island. Who else in the world can contend with me? Who else is worthy of being my opponent? When I return to the Central Plains, I'll just wait to take over everything. All of this has already been achieved when the conditions are right, and there won't be any more changes. If you're willing to continue to be my disciple, I can let bygones be bygones for all of your past offenses. We'll still be like before. I can guarantee that your status and treatment will be several levels higher than before. How about it? Do you want to consider it? "
Xuan Shuang clenched his fists and said angrily, "Are you trying to tempt me into surrendering? The outcome of the battle is still unknown, so why should I beg for your forgiveness? But as long as I still have a breath left, I'll definitely fight you to the end. Otherwise, even if you want my life, I won't collude with you anymore! I'm different from other people. Rather than saying that Alliance Head Li lost to you, it's better to say that he lost to his own softheartedness. At the last moment, if it weren't for his sudden benevolence in advising you to turn over a new leaf, today's outcome would've been completely different! But I can't blame you for this. After all, the battlefield is cruel. Life and death are decided in an instant. Everyone only cares about themselves. But you also said that only you and I are on the same path. In order to win, I'll do whatever it takes! "
Biting his lips, he felt that the greatest threat to him was still that legendary divine weapon. Suddenly, he said, "There's one condition. You're not allowed to use the Afterimage Sword!"
Jiang Liechen didn't express his opinion. He said coldly, "What's the reason? Why should I listen to you? " Xuan Shuang said, "Let's put aside the fact that we're master and disciple, and I know that you don't care about the friendship we've formed in the past. But you don't want others to misunderstand and say that you don't have any real martial arts and only know how to rely on the strength of your weapon, right? "Jiang Liechen said," I've always been a lone wolf. Why should I care about others' ignorant opinions? "
