Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 84 There's no time to explain, hold me tight!

"Jingle Bell!"

The shrill, urgent sound echoed throughout the cabin.

One by one, the Xuantian Sect disciples could not withstand the pressure, blood gushing from their mouths and noses, and they fainted.

Within a few breaths, only Li Wudao and Jiang Churan remained conscious.

"This is the Soul-Capturing Bell?! Could he be a member of the Demon Clan...? But why would he attack and kill the disciples of the Xuan Tian Sect?"

Upon catching a glimpse of the ghost-faced bell, Jiang Churan's expression changed slightly, completely bewildered.

In my previous life, there was no such thing as interception.

What's with this masked man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

Why are they being killed for no reason...?

"Ding--"

This kind of sonic attack is impossible to defend against and can penetrate anywhere.

Coupled with the absolute suppression of realm, even though Jiang Churan was a veteran of countless battles, she didn't have a good way to deal with it and could only shut down her five senses to alleviate the stinging pain in her soul.

She raised her heavy head and stared at the masked man who was closing in, feeling a little panicked for the first time.

The gap between the two sides is too large!

Judging from the strength the opponent displayed, he is at least a peak master level expert.

A high-level Martial King, coupled with the blessing of a rare treasure, has absolutely no chance of winning unless a Martial Venerable descends.

"Am I going to die here today?"

The girl murmured, her eyes flashing with resentment.

She had gained a lot from the secret realm, but she hadn't had time to refine the drop of the Peacock King's life essence blood yet.

Given her current strength and condition, even if she were to unleash a royal-grade treasure, she would still be unable to win.

Just as Jiang Churan was on high alert, preparing for a desperate battle.

Cheng Yuanliang ignored her and walked straight towards Li Wudao.

"You little beast, obediently prepare to die!"

He hid behind the mask, revealing a pair of ruthless eyes, his voice hoarse and cold.

Immediately, he darted away.

He appeared in front of Li Wudao in an instant, raised his hand and struck out with a palm, the speed of which was like a sudden storm, and it was impossible to see clearly.

At the critical moment,

Li Wudao opened his double pupils, subtly catching the trajectory of the opponent's attack, and barely managed to dodge it.

But even so,

The powerful palm strike still stung his cheek, making it feel numb as if he'd been electrocuted.

“So strong…”

Li Wudao kept a distance, his expression grave.

This was the first time he had ever felt such a sense of oppression, and his breathing even became somewhat labored.

"I'd like to see who you are."

He stared intently at the masked man, his double pupils flashing with purple light, as if trying to see through him inside and out.

next moment,

Li Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat incredulous.

The face revealed after the double pupils pierced through was actually Cheng Yuanliang, the leader of Lieyang Peak?!

That doesn't make sense; he didn't do anything.

So what if I didn't give him face last time? It's not like I have to hide my face and try to kill him, is it?

If that's true, then they're being too sensitive; how have they survived this long?

Thinking this way,

Li Wudao sensed something was amiss, so he simply asked, "Peak Master Cheng, is there some deep-seated grudge between us?"

Upon hearing this, the cabin fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Churan's beautiful eyes widened in shock and horror.

She wondered if she had misheard. Could it be the peak master of the Xuantian Sect?

If I remember correctly, the peak master of Blazing Sun Peak is surnamed Cheng...

The masked man remained silent, staring at him with cold, flickering eyes, lost in thought.

"Even now, you still won't reveal your identity? The leader of Lieyang Peak... Cheng Yuanliang!"

Seeing this, Li Wudao sneered and decided to be frank and speak frankly.

"That's interesting. How did you figure that out?"

Cheng Yuanliang was stunned. He touched the mask on his face and, after confirming that it was not damaged, couldn't help but feel curious.

"this........"

Jiang Churan was stunned, feeling an indescribable absurdity.

How could the leader of Lieyang Peak possess a demonic treasure, and why did he want to kill Li Wudao?

It's all in chaos, complete chaos!

The plot of this life is completely different from what she expected, and there's a big problem!

"Want to know? Call me Dad and I might consider telling you."

Li Wudao gave a sarcastic smile.

"Dad? What does that mean...?"

Cheng Yuanliang frowned and muttered to himself, sensing that the boy clearly had ill intentions.

"Hey, my good son, Dad's here!"

Li Wudao responded, his tone quite irritating.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuanliang pondered for a moment.

Only then did he realize he had fallen into a trap, and he was instantly enraged, shouting, "You little beast, I think you're tired of living, daring to take advantage of me?"

He didn't understand what "father" meant, but "son" naturally understood, and after a little thought, he figured out the relationship between the two.

"What, you're going to kill me, and you won't even let me have a taste of something sweet?"

Li Wudao pouted somewhat unhappily.

Jiang Churan was also incredibly clever; she understood instantly, and after a moment of speechlessness, she smiled wryly.

It has to be said that Li Wudao is quite good at infuriating people; he can probably cause internal injuries with just a few words.

"Very well! If I don't tear you to pieces today, you'll be lucky to die!"

Cheng Yuanliang's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

"Hey, anyone can brag."

Li Wudao sneered and said arrogantly, "I'll say the same thing back to you. If I don't beat the shit out of you today, I'll consider it a good thing you've done your job!"

"........"

This time, Jiang Churan was completely stunned, staring blankly at the composed young man.

She couldn't understand where this guy got the courage to provoke her at a time like this.

Are they afraid of dying too slowly?

I must say, the art of verbal persuasion is remarkably effective.

"You...you're asking for death!"

Cheng Yuanliang was so angry that his body trembled. He took two deep breaths, and his nose under the mask was crooked with anger.

Immediately, filled with rage, he lunged forward and slammed his fist, the size of a sandbag, down hard.

Although Li Wudao has the advantage of double pupils, which allows him to anticipate the opponent's attacks.

However, the difference in their skill levels was too great. Caught off guard by the barrage of punches, he was ultimately hit.

"boom--"

A dull thud echoed through the cabin.

The next instant, Li Wudao's figure flew backward and crashed straight down near the girl.

"hiss......."

The boy stood up, grimacing, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt a burning pain in his chest, and his internal organs were trembling slightly.

"Damn it, that hurts like hell!"

Luckily, I was wearing the Silver Silkworm Armor; otherwise, I would have definitely lost half my life if I had taken that punch!

Seeing this scene,

Jiang Churan felt a sudden pang of worry and quickly stepped forward to ask, "How are you...?"

"It's okay, I'm not going to die yet."

Li Wudao shook his head, indicating that he was alright.

"He's not dead... How is this possible?!"

Cheng Yuanliang was filled with shock and anger, and his mind was in turmoil.

It should be noted that even a Martial King in the early stages could have pierced through his chest with that punch.

But this young man in front of me is only at the late stage of the True Essence Realm. He was able to stand up after only spitting out a mouthful of blood. This is too unreasonable.

at this time,

Li Wudao turned his head to look at the worried girl, revealing a row of bloodstained teeth, and teased, "Little Jiang, do you want to live?"

"What's the meaning......."

Jiang Churan was completely puzzled, unable to understand this guy's thought process.

Given this situation, even the reincarnated empress is powerless to change it, so what can a young man do?

"Now that you know who I am, you two still want to live? How laughable!"

Not far away, Cheng Yuanliang's eyes flashed with cold light, and his tone was chilling, "Today, neither of you will live. You will both die here and be buried with my son!"

"Are you kidding me? When the hell did I kill your son?"

Li Wudao retorted with a dark face, thinking hard but unable to recall killing any young man surnamed "Cheng".

"Very well, I may tell you before I die that Qi Xingyu is my son!"

Cheng Yuanliang's eyes were filled with grief and indignation, but he responded coldly.

"what?!"

Li Wudao and Jiang Churan were both stunned, their minds momentarily blank.

This is a lot of information; I didn't process it all at once.

Isn't Qi Xingyu the seventh prince of the Great Qi Dynasty?

How did he become the son of the Lord of Lieyang Peak again?

Could it be that he put a green hat on the emperor of Daqi?

.........

In the blink of an eye, all sorts of guesses flooded the boy's mind, and each one was quite explosive.

"Alright, you can all die now!"

By now, Cheng Yuanliang had lost patience and planned to get rid of the two as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

at the same time.

Li Wudao looked at the girl again, and said anxiously, "Little Jiang, hold me tight!"

"Do you want to see what you're talking about?"

Jiang Churan's lips twitched slightly, and she glared at him fiercely.

What kind of time is this to be thinking of taking advantage of her?

"There's no time to explain. If you want to live, hold on tight!"

Seeing that the girl was still questioning him, Li Wudao gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and hugged her tightly.

"How...how dare he?!"

Jiang Churan's pupils dilated, her face flushed, her mind went blank, and she instantly lost the ability to think.

The soft jade embraced him, its warm fragrance stirring his heart.

However, Li Wudao had no time to appreciate this wonderful experience.

"Don't move! Do you want to live?"

Seeing that Jiang Churan was trying to struggle and push him away, he immediately shouted in a deep voice.

Surprisingly, it worked quite well and really impressed the girl.

At this moment, Jiang Churan felt as if her heart was pounding, her delicate body trembling slightly. She carefully reached out and embraced the boy's waist.

Li Wudao breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiao Jiang hadn't cooperated, things would have been really difficult.

Immediately, he took out a Great Teleportation Talisman with his free right hand, poured in his true essence, and crushed it.

"Ah-"

The yellow talisman transformed into a shimmering stream of light in the wind, causing the void to distort endlessly.

next moment,

A burst of light appeared, and the two figures vanished into thin air, disappearing into the distance.

"Spatial teleportation talisman... I underestimated you!"

Cheng Yuanliang clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his face dark and uncertain.

Then,

He strode out of the cabin, looked at the masked old man who was locked in fierce combat with Du Quan, and said in a deep voice:

"Never mind him, follow me and chase after them. We can't let those two live!"

After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out a treasure that resembled a compass, muttering incantations and making mysterious hand gestures.

A moment later, the pointer on the compass rotated and pointed to a direction.

After determining the direction,

Cheng Yuanliang sneered, "You think you can't find me by running in the opposite direction? How naive!"
