Only the sound was heard, not the person. In the deep alley, a cold wind blew. The mysterious man felt the hairs on his back stand on end.
Gripping his twin blades, he paced, "Of course I want to kill you two and take some spoils." Was this a robbery? The mysterious man's hoarse voice came again, "That little girl clearly comes from a rich family.
If I catch her, I'll be rich." "Oh? Is that so?"
A mist of blood suddenly appeared in front of the mysterious man. "You, a nobody, dare to try and kidnap her?" Lóng Wúyuān flashed past.
He suddenly appeared before the man, just inches away. "You dog, do you know who she is?" "Hmph, I never care about the identity of a fat sheep."
It seemed he didn't know Bǎilǐ Susu's identity. Lóng Wúyuān said coldly, "Bǎilǐ Jìn, are you scared?" Hearing this, the mysterious man's muscles tensed.
Sword Venerate Bǎilǐ Jìn. Who didn't know him? "You should understand that offending him, even with a hundred lives, wouldn't be enough to die."
This was merely stating a fact, not a threat. If he truly dared to lay a hand on Bǎilǐ Susu, his end would be exceedingly tragic. "Hmph, are you threatening me?"
The mysterious man gripped his twin blades tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force. Lóng Wúyuān unleashed his killing intent. "So what if I'm threatening you?
I'm enough to kill you myself." At this moment, Bǎilǐ Susu gracefully walked out. "You don't seem very bright.
In Chaoge City, no one has ever dared to kidnap this young lady." Seeing the usually lively, mischievous, and boisterous girl so calm and composed in this life-or-death moment, Lóng Wúyuān couldn't help but secretly admire her. Truly the daughter of Sword Venerate.
Her innate aura, embedded in her bones, was something others lacked. "Heh heh..." The mysterious man chuckled.
"Others may fear Sword Venerate, but the Soul Devouring Hall does not." Instantly, a disgusting stench emanated from him. It was as if a ghost had crawled out of a corpse pile; wherever he went, the air reeked.
"As long as I capture her, what do I have to fear from Bǎilǐ Jìn?" His tone was firm, believing that with Bǎilǐ Susu, he could threaten Sword Venerate and force him to comply. However, he had no idea how foolish his actions were.
"If you want to touch Susu, you'll have to ask the sword in this master's hand first." The mysterious man was disdainful, not taking Lóng Wúyuān seriously. "Hmph, with you..."
The mysterious man was enraged. He swung his twin blades, creating a whistling wind, and slashed at Lóng Wúyuān. Lóng Wúyuān immediately retreated, creating distance between them.
Then, he swung his sword and charged at the mysterious man. Blade light and sword shadows crisscrossed, and the two fought back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand. "Brother Lóng...
be careful!" Bǎilǐ Susu warned from the side. Lóng Wúyuān slashed down with his sword, and the mysterious man crossed his blades.
He blocked Lóng Wúyuān's fierce downward strike. This blow was powerful and domineering, and the mysterious man couldn't withstand it. He was sent flying back, smashing into the brick wall of the alley with a "boom."
The brick wall collapsed, and the mysterious man was buried under the falling bricks. Even if he wasn't dead, he was certainly badly injured. With the enhancement of the Life-Death Gu, Lóng Wúyuān had inexhaustible spiritual energy when fighting.
"Very good, you have successfully angered me." Boom! The mysterious man pushed away the bricks pinning him and flew out.
"Wrathful Soul Slash!" the mysterious man roared, unleashing the Wrathful Soul Slash. A black blade energy, cloaked in terrifying resentment, shot towards Lóng Wúyuān like lightning.
His eyes sharpened, and he quickly circulated his spiritual energy, condensing a spiritual energy shield in front of him. The blade energy fiercely collided with the shield, emitting a piercing sound. A crack appeared on the shield.
The mysterious man was smug and slashed madly at Lóng Wúyuān. Within a few strikes, the spiritual energy shield was broken. Lóng Wúyuān formed hand seals, and spiritual energy flowed.
The shield reformed, blocking the mysterious man's attack. "You brought this upon yourself; don't blame me." The mysterious man suddenly leaped up, his twin blades slashing wildly.
"Boy, fight back!" "Aren't you trying to play the hero? Keep going!"
Defending wasn't about fear, but about finding an opportunity to strike. Bǎilǐ Susu watched, anxious. She hardened her heart, reached out, and grasped a pink treasured sword.
She leaped into the air. "You bastard, take your life!" She thrust her sword forward.
The mysterious man immediately turned, sweeping his blade horizontally. A blade qi flew out. The blade qi and sword qi collided, and several beams of light scattered.
Both quickly dodged, and the scattered light beams shattered the surrounding walls of the alley. "You court death." The mysterious man attacked Bǎilǐ Susu again, neglecting Lóng Wúyuān's presence.
Suddenly, the mysterious man sensed an icy killing intent rapidly approaching from behind. He spun around just as Lóng Wúyuān thrust his sword at him, his voice cold. "You dog, you shouldn't get distracted when fighting."
"Ah..." The mysterious man screamed, looking at the sword embedded in his chest. He instantly flew into a rage.
He struck out with a palm, and Lóng Wúyuān met him with his hand. Bang! A burst of spiritual energy erupted, and both retreated in opposite directions.
As soon as the mysterious man landed, before he could steady himself, he felt a chill from behind and was pierced through. He had never suffered such humiliation. He circulated his spiritual energy and let out a mighty tremor, sending Bǎilǐ Susu flying away.
He quickly formed hand seals and chanted a mantra, sealing the bleeding wound. "Ah... you two brats dare to wound me."
"Old thief, if I don't kill you, I'm not human." Lóng Wúyuān formed hand seals, cast a spell, and summoned several sword shadows. He joined his fingers and sent the sword finger strike out.
"Old thief, take this!" The sword shadows flew out. The mysterious man saw this and dared not be careless.
He patted his storage bag, took out a pill, and swallowed it. Instantly, his aura changed dramatically. He roared, "You forced me!"
So what if I forced you? If you hadn't tried to kidnap Bǎilǐ Susu, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation. "Soul Burning Great Law!"
His eyes turned crimson. He was willing to burn his essence blood just to kill Lóng Wúyuān, simply because this young man had made him so miserable. When had anyone from the Soul Devouring Hall ever been so humiliated?
Today, either Lóng Wúyuān died, or he did. "This guy has truly gone mad." Lóng Wúyuān leaped to the side, brandishing his sword, and moved closer to Bǎilǐ Susu.
"Be careful, this old ghost is acting strange." Of course, he's acting strange; this is the Soul Devouring Hall's ultimate move. If they can't win, they'll drag their opponent down with them.
"Brother Lóng, I think he's got a problem here," Bǎilǐ Susu said, pointing to her head. She thought the mysterious man had a mental issue. "He's always had a problem.
Would he try to kidnap you if he were sane?" "To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's kill him together." Thus, the two joined forces, preparing to kill the Soul Devouring Hall's mysterious man who was burning his essence blood.
"Die, little brat."
