"Even if I really get this treasure, I may not keep it as my own. Instead, I may consider dedicating it to a more powerful force, so that my Jiang family can take this opportunity to regain its strength."
Speaking of this, Jiang Lianheng's eyes became profound, as if he was recalling the glory of the past and the loneliness of today.
"Do you think that I, Jiang Lianheng, don't know how to assess the situation? Although my Jiang family is no longer as brave as it used to be, the pride and wisdom in our bones have never disappeared. This treasure, for me, may be a turning point, a
An opportunity for the Jiang family to rise again."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao frowned, as if trying to decipher the deep meaning behind Jiang Lianheng's words.
He thought to himself: This Jiang Lianheng is really a cunning old fox. His behavior is completely unconventional, making it difficult for people to understand his true intentions. Facing such an opponent, if you want to use simple words or methods to fool him,
Obviously it doesn't work.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit solemn and vigilant in his heart. He knew that every next step must be taken with extreme caution.
After a brief silence, Ling Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm the turmoil in his heart.
He spoke slowly, and although his voice was soft, he revealed unquestionable firmness: "Head of the Jiang family, you are indeed a unique person with a unique style of conduct. But please allow me to remind you that if this treasure is handed over to me,
Naturally, I will have an extra layer of protection for others."
"At that time, if you want to do something to me, I'm afraid you will have to think twice before doing it. Therefore, I boldly make a proposal to let my mother, my aunt and this innocent little fox leave first. I am willing to stay as a hostage. At the same time,
I will hand over the treasure to you. This will not only ensure their safety, but also show my sincerity and determination."
After saying these words, Ling Xiao stared at Jiang Lianheng, trying to catch a subtle change in his expression.
However, Jiang Lianheng just smiled slightly, and that smile contained both disdain for Ling Xiao's proposal and confidence in his ability to control the situation.
"Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, do you think I will easily believe your lies? You have a good reputation and are full of tricks. How could I not know? The so-called 'proposal' you put forward at this moment is just an opportunity to delay or
It’s just something else.”
"Therefore, I advise you, stop playing these clever tricks. You have only one choice now, and that is to hand over the treasure immediately. Other than that, there is no other way!"
Jiang Lianheng's words were decisive, and every word struck Ling Xiao's heart like a heavy hammer, making him feel unprecedented pressure and urgency.
Speaking of this, Jiang Lianheng's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. He deliberately increased the strength in his hands and held the weak and helpless little fox tighter in his palms. At the same time, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was
Enjoying this battle of psychology and will.
"Do you think that just by your pretended indifference, you can fool me, Jiang Lianheng? Humph, you are so naive. Come on, let's verify it and see if you really have no feelings for her at all.
miss!"
As he finished speaking, Jiang Lianheng's other hand suddenly reached out and accurately grasped the little fox's thin forelimbs. The force was so strong that it seemed to tear it apart from the body.
The little fox's eyes were filled with panic and despair for an instant. It struggled desperately, but could only let out a scream that was even more shrill and could penetrate people's hearts: "Ah——!" The voice contained endless pain and helplessness, which made people feel sad.
Everyone present could not help but feel pity.
Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank at this moment, his eyes seemed to be dyed red with blood, and killing intent was like boiling lava, surging in his chest.
He could no longer endure such torture and insult. Daluotian Demonic Shadow's body skills were instantly used to the extreme, leaving shadows in the void like ghosts. At the same time, the bloodthirsty knife and the God-killing Sword complemented each other in his palm.
, the cold light was pointed directly at Jiang Lianheng's throat and heart.
However, at this critical moment, Jiang Lianheng made an unexpected move. Instead of avoiding it, he raised the little fox in his hand high and blocked it in front of him like a shield.
.
This move undoubtedly placed Ling Xiao in a dilemma - if he insisted on attacking, the innocent little fox would be the first to suffer; but if he hesitated because of this, it would not only mean that he had lost his best
His counterattack timing will allow Jiang Lianheng to see through his weaknesses.
"This old guy is really cunning!" Ling Xiao cursed in his heart, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes. He knew very well that every minute and every second at this moment was crucial, and any negligence might lead to irreparable consequences.
s consequence.
But Ling Xiao's movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water. From the beginning of his conversation with Jiang Lianheng, he had been secretly planning it. Every conversation he made was just a mist carefully woven by him, covering up his already prepared actions.
During this period of time, his eyes flickered from time to time, as if he was calculating every detail, and the occasional smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth hid an unknown meaning.
"Tongtong, take action!" Ling Xiao's voice suddenly exploded like thunder, breaking the silence of the scene, with unquestionable determination. This roar was not only a call to his partners, but also a silent call to Jiang Lianheng
The provocation announced the beginning of the counterattack.
Almost at the same moment, a strange fluctuation filled the air, and then, a hand made of fine yellow sand appeared out of thin air, grabbing Jiang Lianheng's arm with precision like a ghost.
The sandy hand seemed soft and boneless, but it contained amazing power. Wherever it came into contact with Jiang Lianheng's skin, it quickly absorbed the moisture in it, causing his arms to become dehydrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the skin shriveled and veins popping out.
From the beginning, Jiang Lianheng was horrified by this scene, and the power in his hands dissipated. The little fox took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and regained his freedom.
When Ling Xiao saw this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He flashed, as fast as a cheetah hunting, and took the little fox into his arms. At the same time, he used this power to retreat backwards, and pulled away from Jiang Lian.
a safe distance.
His movements were smooth and decisive, without any hesitation. Every movement revealed his deep affection and determination to protect the little fox.
Jiang Lianheng, on the other hand, quickly came to his senses after a brief shock. He roared angrily, his spiritual power surged in his body, and he tried his best to shatter the hand of sand that restrained him.
However, the sand hand seemed to be alive, flexible and tough, constantly absorbing his power. Finally, when he roared in pain, the sand hand shattered into pieces and turned into yellow sand and dissipated in the air.
But the price was that Jiang Lianheng's arm had dried up and deformed, and the skin was cracked, revealing a shocking injury. His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, but there was nothing he could do.
