Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Li's face instantly darkened, and the anger was clearly revealed on her face. She never thought that this unknown Ling Xiao would dare to treat her so rudely. This was simply disrespectful to her.
She could not accept such humiliation due to the great provocation of her identity.
In anger, Shangguan Li moved and dived forward like a cheetah. Her speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch her. The true energy surged in her palms, as if she had gathered all her strength, and struck hard at Ling Xiao's chest.
Blow it away hard. The power of this palm is enough to kill ordinary people instantly.
While attacking, the corner of Shangguan Li's mouth curled up with a mocking arc. She looked at Ling Xiao, her eyes full of disdain and contempt. She said coldly: "Boy, it's not your fault that you are not strong enough, but if you provoke others casually,
You're so stupid." Her voice was full of arrogance and confidence, as if she had seen Ling Xiao fall at her feet.
However, Ling Xiao's reaction was beyond her expectation. Facing Shangguan Li's attack, Ling Xiao did not show the slightest panic. He calmly raised the long knife in his hand, and a cold light flashed on the blade, as if foreshadowing.
of the coming killing.
I saw Ling Xiao swipe his long sword, and a sharp sword light burst out instantly. This sword light was strong enough to easily defeat Shangguan Li's attack. Although Shangguan Li is powerful, she is only at the third level of the Martial Soul Realm after all.
, there is still a big gap compared with Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's strength is far beyond Shangguan Li's imagination. His current cultivation level is enough to easily kill a strong man at the sixth level of the martial soul realm, let alone a third level warrior like Shangguan Li. In Ling Xiao's eyes, Shangguan Li's
The attack was nothing more than children playing house.
I saw the bloodthirsty sword soul in Ling Xiao's hand seemed to be awakened in an instant, bursting out with a dazzling and dazzling red light. This red light not only illuminated the surrounding air, but also dyed everything around it with a bloody color.
The air was filled with a suffocating smell of blood, as if you were on a killing battlefield.
Shangguan Li felt this strong aura, and her expression changed instantly. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she knew that this was no ordinary attack, but a stunt performed by the opponent with all his strength.
But at this moment, she had fallen into an embarrassing situation. She found that she could no longer change her tactics or retreat. She could only bite the bullet and use all her strength to confront Ling Xiao head-on.
The forces of the two collided in the air, making a deafening noise. The loud noise was like thunder, shaking the entire space. Shangguan Li felt a powerful force impacting her body, and she felt as if her internal organs were
They were all shattered into pieces at this moment, and the pain was unbearable.
Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth, and her body flew upside down like a kite that was out of line under the impact of this force. Her body drew an arc in the air, and finally fell violently.
It hit the ground.
Shangguan Li struggled to stand up, but her body seemed to have lost control and could not move. She looked up at Ling Xiao, her eyes full of fear and unwillingness. She knew that she could never be this man's opponent. She
Her heart was filled with shock and fear, but at this moment she couldn't bear to think too much.
She knew that if she didn't escape, death would be waiting for her. So, she endured the pain in her body and struggled to stand up. She turned around and ran away, not daring to stop at all. She knew that she had to escape from here as soon as possible.
Otherwise, there will be even more terrible consequences waiting for her.
?????55.?????
Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on Shangguan Li's retreating figure, and a raging anger arose in his heart.
However, just as he was about to pursue him, a steady and powerful hand gently rested on his shoulder. When he looked back, he saw a trace of pleading and helplessness on the old man's vicissitudes of life.
look.
"Forget it, give her a chance." Jiu Lao's voice was low and firm, with a hint of unquestionable meaning, "Shangguan Li is my niece, I can't just watch her go to destruction like this."
When Ling Xiao heard this, the anger in his heart gradually calmed down. He took a deep look at Jiu Lao and read the indescribable affection and helplessness in his eyes. He understood that, as an elder, Jiu Lao had
own considerations and bottom line.
So, he nodded, took back his steps forward, and sat back down.
After sitting down, Ling Xiao felt a surge of complicated emotions in his heart. He sighed and said slowly: "You care about her, but she may not care about you." There was a hint of disappointment and helplessness in his voice, as if he was telling someone.
With an unspeakable hardship.
He knew that although Jiu Lao looked cold and ruthless on the surface, deep down he was full of care and expectation for Shangguan Li. However, Shangguan Li's betrayal and ruthlessness made this expectation come to nothing.
When Jiu Lao heard this, his face froze, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He knew that Ling Xiao was right, but he couldn't change Shangguan Li's choice. He could only pray silently, hoping that she would get lost.
Come back and take the right path again.
At the same time, he was also gratified and grateful for Ling Xiao's tolerance and understanding. He knew that Ling Xiao was a compassionate and righteous person who was willing to sacrifice everything for his friends and relatives.
Jiu Lao's face was solemn, and his eyes were flashing with complex emotions.
He shook his head gently, as if he wanted to dispel the haze in his heart, and then slowly spoke: "There is really a world of difference between her and Guanyu. Shangguanyu, that woman, has completely fallen into the hands of the empress, and has no influence on the empress."
She obeys orders and almost becomes her shadow. As for Shangguan Li, she...she actually has her own difficulties."
He took a deep breath and continued: "What Shangguan Li did was out of helplessness. She knew that if she didn't do this, the Shangguan family would become the target of the empress and fall into an irreversible situation. That kind of pressure
, that kind of responsibility forced her to make a choice, even if this choice made her miserable."
Jiu Lao's face showed deep helplessness and sadness, and he sighed: "I really know what dangers may come if I don't kill Shangguan Li. But after all, I am not that kind of ruthless person. She
She is my biological niece, how could I possibly kill her? Whenever I think of this, my heart feels like it is being cut by a knife."
"Next time, there is no need to show mercy." Jiu Lao's voice was low and firm. He clenched his fists as if he was making a difficult decision. He knew very well that kindness is often a luxury in this cruel world, especially in this cruel world.
When facing potential threats.
He couldn't put Ling Xiao into danger because of his personal feelings. That would be irresponsible to his friend.
