Death.

To Ling Xi, it was actually true that she had already been prepared that time in the Sword Soul Imperial Palace, but Long Chen"s performance that day was even more powerful than what she had expected.

To her, the greatest wish of her life had already been fulfilled. She also wanted to be able to go on like this forever with Long Chen. However, if there were some things that couldn"t be avoided, she could only choose to compromise.

It was just like how, at this moment, she was completely powerless to face this City Lord who had died in vain.

Long Chen had always been protecting Ling Xi. If he were to know that City Master Bai Mo actually injured Ling Xi, how terrifying would his fury be?

Ling Xi really wanted to see the last of him, but she realized that she wouldn"t have the chance.

"Ling Xi!" Sword Master Ling Wu"s eyes were blood-red, his tears streaming down his face. His entire being was in a crazed state, his Astral Refining Sword slashed at the demonic barrier time and time again, but the demonic barrier was still as strong as ever. As the father, how could he bear watching his daughter"s head be crushed like this?

At this moment, Sword Master Ling Wu"s heart was about to break.

Just at this moment, the City Lord of Bandits covered Ling Xi"s face with his palm. His fingers were also slender and fair, like a work of art, but in reality, it was the claws of a demon.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Ling Xi vaguely retreated a few steps back as she was caught by the City Lord.

She was a very foolish woman, and in the entire world, only Long Chen was left. It was precisely because of this that Long Chen treated her as a treasure and protected her.

"Dealing with a girl like this, don"t you think you"re so despicable that you"re intolerable?"

At this moment, an indifferent voice sounded from behind the City Lord.

The City Lord released his grip and turned around in shock.

Opportunity!

The mysterious voice gave her a chance to live. At the start, she thought that Long Chen had arrived, but if it was Long Chen, he would not be able to say anything in such a calm manner. Furthermore, the words just now, were clearly said by a girl.

Everyone stared at the mysterious newcomer in a daze.

"G.o.ddess of Darkness?" Amongst the crowd, Palace Head Han Wu and the others had seen the sculpture of the Dark G.o.ddess that Long Chen had displayed.

And Ling Xi recognized her at a glance.

"xuanji sister!"

She was also the one who made Ling Xi feel the most guilty of all. After all, she was someone who was extremely infatuated with Long Chen, and had helped him many times.

That"s right, the one who had come was none other than Li Xuanji.

Seeing the beautiful and cold lady who was enveloped in darkness, the City Lord laughed mockingly and said, "A mere two. You merely have a pretty decent concealment technique, yet you dare to show your face in front of me? "

Seeing the beautiful woman shrouded in darkness, the tears in Ling Xi"s eyes finally flowed down in disappointment.

"Did he not protect you well?" Li Xuanji said softly.

"He is trapped and is rus.h.i.+ng back. He should be back soon. I believe him. " Ling Xi said with certainty.

At this moment of life or death, the awkwardness and embarra.s.sment he had thought he had had vanished like smoke in thin air.

That words of "wait together" made Ling Xi a little jealous in her heart, but at this moment, she tossed aside everything else, held onto Li Xuanji"s cold palm, and then nodded heavily.

She did not hate her in the slightest, nor did she feel pity for her. It was just that the matter of love was very complicated, and she did not know how to deal with such a relations.h.i.+p. What would happen in the end would all depend on Long Chen"s thoughts.

Also, Li Xuanji might not even want to stay by Long Chen"s side. Ling Xi and Li Xuanji were two different people, one was dependent on the other for life and death, and the other was estranged from him.

From Li Xuanji"s hands, Ling Xi could feel the power of her spirit that caused her to regain her spirits.

"I"ve been watching you. You were very brave just now. He will be very pleased. " Li Xuanji looked at the City Lord of Wutu City who was approaching coldly, and said to Ling Xi softly.

"Mn." Ling Xi lightly nodded.

He scrutinized the two of them and finally laughed, "You two seem to be women who had some sort of relations.h.i.+p with that little guy? "I am obviously jealous and resentful of him and wish that I could kill him and take Long Chen for myself. But now, you guys are pretending to be good sisters. Your human nature is truly hilarious."

"An animal without humanity, what qualifications do you have to talk about humanity?" Li Xuanji coldly stared at the other party, and spoke word for word.

Saying that, he suddenly thought of something and said: "I see, you must be wis.h.i.+ng to kill this new Great Emperor of the Sword Soul in your heart, just that you are afraid that Long Chen will hate you, right? No matter where you are, whether it"s humans, demons, or beasts, the compet.i.tion between spouses will always be ruthless. Since you"ve appeared, I"ll give you a chance to kill her.

"Come! I"ll give you a chance to show your ugly form. Maybe if you kill her, Long Chen will like you. "Come on!"

City Lord b.a.s.t.a.r.d approached them, step by step.

In everyone"s eyes, he was smiling sinisterly. In that moment, he suddenly turned into thick smoke and rushed towards Li Xuanji.

But Ling Xi had grabbed her hand at that moment, and when the attack descended, she did not leave at all.

The thick black smoke was the method City Lord b.a.s.t.a.r.d had used to control Mo Xiaolang.

He wanted to control Li Xuanji and fight him until he killed him.

Perhaps to them, this was the most cruel method. What the City Lord wanted to see was the struggle and pain in their eyes!

It wasn"t that they didn"t want to dodge, but that they couldn"t.

Li Xuanji"s appearance, was merely for the sake of Long Chen"s arrival, and was merely delaying him for a little more time.

Even though Ling Xi was already in front of him blocking the attack, the dense smoke still entered Li Xuanji"s body. In that moment, the huge force still sent Ling Xi flying.

Ling Xi climbed up from the ground with much difficulty, only to discover that the current Li Xuanji was already completely surrounded by the ghost aura.

"xuanji sister …" Ling Xi was at a loss, because the current Li Xuanji"s eyes were blood-red, as she walked step by step towards her. Under the control of the City Lord, she grasped Ling Xi"s neck and said: "That"s right, just like he said, I just want to kill you and take Long Chen over.

Ling Xi did not know that this was what the City Lord had said, and not what Li Xuanji had said herself.

"No, you"re not her!" Ling Xi shook her head, she knew that Li Xuanji would not be like this. She understood her, back when Ling Xi was still inside Long Chen"s body, she had an extremely deep understanding of her.

"No, I am me. This is what I want from the bottom of my heart." Li Xuanji sneered coldly.

Although the crowd didn"t understand what was happening inside the demonic barrier, they had a bad premonition.

You want to destroy my trust in her, you want to prove that the humanity you speak of is despicable. But you are wrong, no matter what you think, in my eyes, other than you, the world is beautiful. Human nature is not despicable, only you are despicable!

And it was at this time that a frightening power exploded out of Li Xuanji"s body. The City Lord, who was controlling her, turned his head in shock and saw a black needle piercing into his body.

This was the mysterious black needle from the city of death, but even the lord of the city didn"t know of its origin.
