"I originally thought that with her talent, even if she went to the Yang family, she would have a better life than the Li family, apart from the fact that she doesn't know anyone. But then, her strength increased too quickly. In just seven years, she went from the three martial realms to the ninth layer of the God Martial realm. This is not something that a normal person can do, so … I'm sorry," Li Xuanji lowered her head and said dejectedly.
"It should be the God Martial Soul of an expert who used the Way of Fusing the Soul, or some other method. But it's definitely not a good thing for Ling Qing, right?" Long Chen said coldly.
"Yes," Li Xuanji nodded gently.
Long Chen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"When I return from the Demon Mountain of Jiuyou, I'll go to the Yang family and have a look. No matter who it is …" Long Chen had already made up his mind. There was no worry or fear in his heart. Yang Lingqing was his sister that he was protecting. If she was threatened, or even in danger, Long Chen would bury the entire Yang family with her.
As for the issue of bloodline, his ancestor was just an abandoned son, and after so many generations, Long Chen did not believe that he had anything to do with the Yang family.
Li Xuanji looked at Long Chen in a daze. She didn't understand why this young man didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth and had an unstoppable belief.
Perhaps he would succeed.
At the thought of this, Li Xuanji said, "If I can recover, I'll definitely help you save your younger sister even if I have to give up my life. After all, I'm her Master, and I owe her this. When the Yang Clan came to ask for her, I couldn't protect her."
This was all in the future. When the time came, Li Xuanji would not be able to live for long. Although the Saints' Fruit was extremely dangerous, Long Chen could not back down.
The most important thing was to wait for Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie to arrive. After Long Chen and Li Xuanji left, it should not be a problem for them to get rid of the two old fellows who were about to enter their coffins.
After chatting for a while, the two of them fell silent. Li Xuanji seemed to feel that the 100,000 demons in her body were stirring again. She approached Long Chen in a panic. The two of them stood less than half a meter apart. She raised her head and saw Long Chen's burning eyes staring at her.
Li Xuanji's face was slightly red. Her delicate face made people want to kiss it. She quickly looked away and didn't say anything.
To her, Long Chen's appearance today was like a dream.
However, after waiting for three days, Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie still did not show up.
Long Chen did not pay too much attention to it. It should take five or six days to get rid of the two old fellows.
However, seven days passed, and there was still no news. Although the demons in Li Xuanji's body were becoming weaker and weaker, her body was weakening as well. She could not last much longer. If Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie still did not show up, she might not even be able to last until the fight for the Nine Serenities Demon Mountain began.
He became worried as he watched Li Xuanji weaken day by day and her face become healthier and healthier. Finally, on the tenth day, Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie still did not show up. Long Chen carved eight words on a rock in the distance: Nine Serenities Demon Mountain, Saints' Fruit.
If Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie came here, they would definitely discover the words on the rock and catch up to Long Chen.
Ten days had passed. If they wanted to come, they would have arrived a long time ago.
Then, something must have happened.
"With their strength, I can't help them if something happens. Also, they're so powerful and have been here for so many years. They might have been delayed by something. It should be impossible for something to happen to them."
There was no need for Long Chen to worry about Han Yunxing and Nangong Lie for now. However, since they had not arrived, Long Chen could not wait any longer. He could wait, but Li Xuanji could not.
At this moment, Li Xuanji was almost unconscious. The Nine Yin Terminal Meridian in her body was basically destroyed, and her life force was overdrawn.
"I'll carry you."
She still had some of the power of the one hundred thousand demons in her body. As long as she left Long Chen's side, they would immediately become rampant. In about five days, Long Chen's dragon blood would be able to completely destroy the one hundred thousand demons. During these few days, carrying her was the most suitable choice.
Li Xuanji hesitated slightly. This was a girl's restraint, but she squeezed out a smile in the next moment. She nodded and leaned against Long Chen's wide back, allowing him to carry her.
Her soft and delicate body exuded an alluring fragrance. Long Chen was not distracted at all. Li Xuanji was in need of help. Long Chen had been delayed for ten days. At this moment, he was running at his fastest speed in the direction that Li Xuanji had set. Luckily, most of his strength was in his body. Carrying Li Xuanji did not affect his abnormal, ancient beast-like physical strength at all.
The wind rushed past them, the scenery on both sides whistled past. The majestic heat under her body gave her a kind of intoxicating warmth, dispersing the cold air on her body. Li Xuanji subconsciously tightened her arms around Long Chen's neck. Her body pressed closer to Long Chen. Her chest occasionally bumped against his back, giving her a stimulating feeling as if she was being scalded by a raging fire.
Li Xuanji could not help but blush. Remembering that they were just friends, she dispersed the trace of charm in her heart. She knew that there was someone else in Long Chen's heart, and there was only one person.
However, the warm feeling under her body was something that she had never experienced before. It was as if being on his back was abnormally safe and stable. She did not need to worry about anything. This feeling of being protected made Li Xuanji feel strange and excited. However, every time a strange thought appeared in her mind, there would always be a word that would wake her up, causing her to smile bitterly.
"Speaking of which, how are you and that girl of yours now?"
When the wind blew behind her, making her black dress flutter, Li Xuanji suddenly leaned towards Long Chen's ear and asked softly.
"En."
Long Chen did not expect her to ask about Lingxi, so he said with a happy and sweet face, "She is waiting for me at the Sword Spirit Emperor Palace. When I am almost at your level, I will kill my way there and take her away."
His words were decisive and direct.
Li Xuanji had a feeling of being defeated. She paused for a while and did not say much. After a while, she sighed with emotion, "She is really blessed."
Long Chen grunted and continued to move forward.
"From here to the Nine Underworlds, it is very close now. With your current speed, it will only take about six days to reach the Breaking Spirit Mountain. After the Breaking Spirit Mountain, it will be the Nine Underworlds." Putting aside the strange emotions in her heart, Li Xuanji changed the topic.
Long Chen raised his arms slightly and hugged Li Xuanji's legs tightly. He inadvertently touched her elastic little butt, which was a little more powerful than Lingxi. This was an inadvertent action, but it made Li Xuanji's body tighten as if she was electrocuted.
"I'm sorry." Long Chen quickly apologized.
"It's okay." Li Xuanji said softly.
The scenery around them quickly flashed by as Long Chen passed through one mountain range after another. Time flew by and the two of them spent most of the time in silence. Sometimes, talking too much was not necessarily a good thing.
Li Xuanji still underestimated Long Chen's speed. For her, it was really a compliment that a warrior at the third level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm could be so fast. Long Chen, who was rushing forward at full speed, was like a golden lightning. He moved like the wind and did not know fatigue. With his speed, even a warrior at the peak of the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm might not be able to catch up with him.
The fragrance of the beauty behind him kept pouring into his nose, but Long Chen did not have any distracting thoughts. He just wanted to reach the Nine Underworlds Demon Mountain as soon as possible. After all, Li Xuanji's life was limited. Although she could still talk, it was already very difficult for her.
However, with the passage of time and the suppression of the thick dragon qi on Long Chen's body, the one hundred thousand demons in her body had become more and more dispirited. All of this was under Long Chen's control.
In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. Long Chen did not rest. He had already arrived at the Breaking Spirit Mountain that Li Xuanji had mentioned. This was a dark and gloomy mountain. There was a ghostly aura everywhere. A large number of ghost beasts lived here. It was a desolate area, and it was also the boundary between the Xuan Yin Demon Realm and the Nine Underworlds Demon Realm. Long Chen had to cross the Breaking Spirit Mountain to reach the Nine Underworlds Demon Realm.
Looking at this stretch of mountain peaks from afar, the gloomy gray aura was similar to the hell of ghosts. Ordinary people did not dare to rush through this part of the Breaking Spirit Mountain. The demon beasts in it, even warriors with the supreme golden body of the God Martial Arts Realm, would be killed.
Many ghost beasts were not big, but they had fatal lethality.
In front of the Breaking Spirit Mountain, Long Chen stopped. Li Xuanji had been sleeping for a day. Long Chen gently put her down. He did not want to wake her up, but she was more sensitive. She still woke up, looked at Long Chen in a daze, and asked, "Where is this?"
That kind of hazy and lazy look was quite charming.
"We have arrived at the Breaking Spirit Mountain." Long Chen put her body down and sat her down.
"So fast, a few days have passed."
"Four days."
At this time, Li Xuanji was getting weaker. Her originally round face and body had become a little thin, and this situation would continue. She knew that she wouldn't be able to hold on until she died.
Unless, at that critical moment, Long Chen could really find the Saints' Fruit of Heaven and Earth and let her eat it.
Li Xuanji knew how she looked. She looked around, and then looked at Long Chen with a little depression, and asked, "I … Am I ugly?"
After all, she was a girl, and she was very concerned about her appearance.
Long Chen was not good at answering this kind of question, so he said, "Don't think too much. When I get the Saints' Fruit of Heaven and Earth, you will still look the same."
… …
