Chapter 146 The Highest Level of Romance
Having said that, Cangjie has already realized that the death row prisoner in front of him is not easy to deal with.
After serving the tea, Guigong retreated quickly and gave Cangjie a look that told him to wish him good luck before leaving.
Based on his many years of experience, Cangjie was like a meat bun hitting a dog this time, and there would be no return.
The two men fell silent, but the fight below was still intense.
The city lord was already out of breath, his spiritual power was weak, and he was old, so how could his hand speed compare to that of a young man? He was taking pills while drawing the barrier.
Lily was also one of the onlookers. She had taken off her disguise and asked Zhu Jiu, who was chatting with a man with a smile on her face, "Have you two finished your chat?"
Zhu Jiu: What?
Lily looked worried: "How are you going to escape from this situation? You will die at dawn! If Ling Yuanhan wins, you won't live until dawn."
At present, the latter possibility is very high. Chu Yi is one major realm lower than the former. Up to now, spiritual power has become a factor that constrains him.
Zhu Jiu was surprised. If she died, wouldn't the 300,000 yuan all belong to Lily? Shouldn't this kid be hoping that she couldn't escape?
unless……
Zhu Jiu: Are you concerned about me?
Lily: No, I’m afraid that a vicious woman like you would betray me in order to find someone to take the blame for you before she dies.
Zhu Jiu smiled: Thank you for providing a new idea.
Lily's voice suddenly became awkward and melancholy: In fact, I'm not thinking about this entirely. We are also survivors of the same city. Although we have only known each other for two months, you are in my heart...
She hesitated to speak, as if embarrassed.
Zhu Jiu smiled evilly: Love is hard to express, it always hesitates, you really care about me.
Lily: No, I want to ask if you can give me half of the remaining 500,000 before you die.
Zhu Jiu: ...
Lily appealed to her emotions and explained the reason to her: if you spend money on men and suffer bad luck for your whole life, what's the point of being a prostitute? Actors are heartless and will forget about you in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Jiu: Then what surprise can you give me?
Lily: Burn paper on time on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
Zhu Jiu: Okay, I’ll grab you by the collar and give you a beating.
When Lily heard this, her dark eyes flickered and she felt a little relieved. Since Zhu Jiu said so, then everything should be fine.
Well, how could that stingy and hypocritical bad woman put herself in real danger.
……
Zhu Jiu sipped the tea leisurely.
Xingjun glanced at the helpless Cangjie and said with pity: "Let the child go. The child is still young and can't stand your torture."
Zhu Jiu shook his head and said, "Nonsense, he obviously has a lot to tell me, the desire to share is the highest level of romance."
"And if I use my special skill, Exploration Desire, it will be a sure kill."
Xing Jun: "...I noticed that you were acting really hard tonight, and you even didn't know who was your friend and who was your enemy. It's fine if you disgust others, but why did you disgust me too?"
Zhu Jiu was deeply immersed in the play, and asked Cang Jie, "Tian, how could such an outstanding young man like you end up in prostitution? Is the air in the wilderness not as fresh as here?"
Cangjie's gentle eyes suddenly turned cold, and his gaze suddenly fixed on Zhu Jiu, "I don't understand what you mean."
However, when he looked at her like this, he met Zhu Jiu's clear and quiet eyes, which seemed to have removed the useless cover, without any trace of the chaos from before.
Cangjie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that look. Perhaps the other party had already seen through everything about him.
His throat felt dry, "You..."
At this moment, the situation below suddenly changed drastically——
The courtesan who was originally standing aside leaped into the battlefield in a few steps and stood in front of Ling Aohan. Chu Yi's expression suddenly changed and he forcibly retracted his soul attack.
However, if the soul attack is forcibly terminated, it will be more serious than the backlash of sword moves and martial arts.
Chu Yi's face immediately turned pale, his brows furrowed, his soul was in severe pain, and his spiritual power was extremely disordered. He suppressed the fishy sweetness in his throat and looked at the courtesan in disbelief.
Seeing Chu Yi injured, the courtesan was also panicked, "I just don't want you to fight over an irrelevant person, I didn't mean it..."
However, a cold look flashed across Ling Yuanhan's gloomy face, and a hint of viciousness crept up to his lips. A sword light suddenly burst out from his fingertips, passing over the courtesan in front of him and attacking Chu Yi.
The latter was distracted by her and his soul was hurt, so he was completely unable to react. The sword light broke through the protective armor and pierced through Chu Yi's left chest.
But there is more—
Ling Yuanhan's attack was a sure-win attack using 100% of his strength, and he was determined to seriously injure Chu Yi, who had jumped levels and embarrassed him.
Therefore, after the sword light severely injured Chu Yi like cutting tofu, it did not stop. It blasted towards the crack in the barrier that was not yet complete, and killed into the bustling crowd on the arch bridge in the distance.
It was originally the safest place, but swords and knives are ruthless on the battlefield, let alone high-level combat.
Some people reacted, some didn't.
But those who reacted could only see the beautiful trajectory of the sword light like the aurora.
An ignorant child with a confused look in his eyes and holding a string of candied haws was the first to be hit.
The city lord was horrified, the courtesan screamed, Ling Yuanhan frowned deeply, it was too late.
Cangjie... He was only at the ninth level of Qi training and couldn’t see clearly at all.
Chu Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he took a deep breath and subconsciously tried to rescue him, but his spiritual power was disordered and he only spat out a mouthful of hot blood.
Everyone watched helplessly as the people on the bridge were doomed to die.
Their blood froze, as if they had witnessed the blood flowing in the river, half of which was green and half was red.
But it was also the moment before the aurora was imprinted into the child's round pupils.
It is like the reflection of the waxing and waning moon on the water surface. When the wind blows, waves rise!
There was a loud “ding——” sound of collision.
The moon's shadow was crushed into dim stars, accompanied by fierce sparks, which briefly burned in everyone's sight before disappearing into thin air.
Zhu Jiu put the child down, caught the bright red candied haws that fell from the sky, and handed it back to him.
But the child's eyes widened in horror.
A drop of blood dripped from Zhu Jiu's bloody and bony right hand, along the stick of the candied haws, and into the calm lake under the arch bridge.
Ripples and blushes spread.
Like the hot wind from a furnace burning corpses, it woke up the sluggish crowd.
"!!!"
"She caught the blade with her bare hands!"
"Doesn't the wanted list say she is at the peak of foundation building? She is clearly at the golden elixir stage!"
"The biggest question now is, isn't this death row prisoner wearing a soul-binding rope?!"
