The more Zhang Xiu spoke, the more the white-clothed woman trembled. She covered her eyes with both hands and sobbed.
Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's funny that I didn't regret marrying you even though you ate my master. However, I'm a warrior and you're a human-eating demon. Today, I'll kill you!"
As Zhang Xiu spoke, he stabbed the dagger in his hand into the woman's heart. Blood flowed from the wound and quickly soaked her skirt.
The woman did not dodge. She only cried silently and looked at Zhang Xiu quietly.
Zhang Xiu said slowly, "My wife, if we were to be reborn as humans or demons, would you still be willing to marry me?"
"If I were to marry you, would you still be willing to marry me?" the woman asked.
"Yes!" Zhang Xiu said firmly.
"Husband, I know I was wrong. I won't eat humans again. Can you forgive me?" the woman asked softly.
Zhang Xiu smiled tragically and said, "It's fine if I forgive you, but what about the lives of those villagers?
I have no right to forgive you on behalf of the dead. Even if I forgive you, those people won't come back to life. These sins are unforgivable. Only their lives can pay for them! "
"I'm sorry, husband. I'm sorry …" the woman repeated the same sentence. Her tears flowed continuously and blood flowed non-stop.
Zhang Xiu reached out and touched the side of the woman's face. He said gently, "I'm a human and you're a demon. You eat humans. I want to kill you, but you're also my wife. So I'll die with you."
With that said, he pulled out the dagger from the woman's body and stabbed it into his own heart.
"Pfft!"
Blood sprayed onto the woman's face.
"Husband!" the woman let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Zhang Xiu smiled and said softly, "My wife, let's be husband and wife in the next life!" With that said, Zhang Xiu slowly closed his eyes.
The woman hugged Zhang Xiu's corpse and cried loudly.
Not far away, Liu Neng saw this scene and lowered his head. He used his sleeve to wipe his tears.
The little fox in Tang Yong's arms poked its head out. As it cried, it used its little paws to wipe away its tears.
After a long time, the woman hugged Zhang Xiu's corpse and stood up shakily. The blood on her chest had already stained her clothes. She smiled tragically at the three and said, "I'm sorry. From today onwards, I won't eat humans!" With that said, she hugged Zhang's corpse and jumped off the cliff. and jumped.
The cold wind was lonely
After a long time, a muffled sound came from the bottom of the cliff. Tang Yong and the other two knew that the snake demon wouldn't be able to survive.
On the other side, the battle between Li Jianying and Qing Yunlong had come to an end. Although Qing Yunlong was a Class 6 monster with extraordinary battle strength, Li Jianying's sword technique seemed to have some sort of restraining effect on him. The injuries on Qing Yunlong's body became more and more serious. In the end, he even vomited blood. Qing Yunlong's eyes glowed ominously as he hatefully said, "Li Jianying, you old bastard! How dare you steal my Dragon Clan's supreme treasure! Today, I'll wash the Great Origin Palace with blood!"
Li Jianying coldly snorted and said, "If you have the guts, you can try. If you dare to wash my Great Origin Palace with blood, I'll kill all of your Yongjiang Water Demons and then slaughter you!"
"Old bastard!"
Qing Yunlong cursed, but he didn't continue the battle with Li Jianying. Instead, he turned around and fled into the sky.
Qing Yunlong's injuries weren't light. If he continued to fight with Li Jianying, he might really end up losing his life.
Although Qing Yunlong was obsessed with the Dragon Clan's treasure, compared to his life, his life was naturally more precious. After all, as long as he was alive, what treasure couldn't he obtain?
Seeing Qing Yunlong fly into the clouds and disappear, Li Jianying didn't give chase. Instead, after confirming that Qing Yunlong had left, he swept his gaze towards the direction where the flood dragon had fled and coldly sneered, "Evil creature, you think you can escape from my eyes?"
Li Jianying formed sword fingers with his hands, and golden light flickered on his fingertips. He swiped his fingertips over his eyes, and a bright golden light immediately blossomed from his eyes like two searchlights. The golden light seemed to be guiding Li Jianying forward. Li Jianying chased after the flood dragon.
Tang Yong and the others were speechless for a long time as they stared at the cliff. At this moment, Li Jianying had already caught up. He was shocked to see the three of them and asked, "Why are you guys here?
Is the Third Prince safe?
How's the village? "
Liu Neng immediately replied, "Lord Li, the Third Prince is very safe. The Fish Demon in the village has been eliminated. The three of us chased after Zhang Xiu. He … he and his wife have already jumped off the cliff and died."
Li Jianying frowned as he listened to Liu Neng's story. Then, his expression changed slightly as he asked, "Did the Snake Demon give you anything?"
Liu Neng shook his head and said, "No, Lord."
Li Jianying said, "I'll go down and take a look. You guys wait here for a while." After that, he bent down and rushed down the cliff.
Tang Yong and the other two had only waited for a short while when Li Jianying actually flew back. He said with a gloomy expression, "The item is not with them. Could it be that the demonic dragon used a trick to take it away?"
"No, if the Evil Dragon got the thing, I'm afraid it would have escaped long ago. It wouldn't have fought with me for so long. Could it be that the Snake Demon hid it?
That's probably a little more likely.
The three of you quickly go and call for help. Even if we have to turn the whole Taoxi Village upside down, we can't let the treasures of the Human Clan fall out.
Don't just stand there, go! "Li Jianying said.
"Yes, Lord!" the three of them answered.
However, after a while, the Kung Fu soldiers and the silver-armored guards all arrived. Everyone began searching carefully in the forest of Taoxi Village. Li Jianying also sent people to the surrounding villages to get more people. Killing the Fish Demon required a Martial Master, but searching through the forest required only a single person. Li Jianying mobilized more than a thousand militia and turned the entire Taoxi Village upside down, but they still couldn't find the so-called treasure.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, the Third Prince and the others bade farewell to Lord Li. Their team still had to participate in the Ten Nations Martial Dao Tournament and they had already wasted too much time here. Next, they had to hurry on with their journey.
Li Jianying didn't stop them this time and instead bid them farewell with a smile.
"Geniuses of the Han Tang, you must bring glory to the Han Tang!"
"Definitely, Lord!" the crowd answered in unison.
After bidding farewell to Taoxi Village, the group of them set off again.
Due to the delay previously, they traveled almost as fast as lightning without resting this time. It only took them one day to complete the journey that would normally take them three to five days. At this moment, they had already arrived at the border city of the Han Tang, Burnt City.
If they continued onwards, they would be able to reach the Ten Nations Martial Dao Tournament, Mount Luoxia.
Everyone rested for a while in Burnt City and planned to continue on with their journey tomorrow.
The Ten Nations Martial Dao Tournament would be held in three days and they would definitely be able to make it in time. Hence, before they were about to meet the geniuses of the Ten Nations, they planned to tidy themselves up so as not to weaken the prestige of the Han Tang.
They settled down at the largest inn in Burnt City to rest. After tidying up a little, the aristocrats returned to their rooms to cultivate. After all, they were all geniuses of the Han Tang. Although they were a little arrogant previously, they were still very serious about cultivation.
After eating something in the hall of the inn, Tang Yong bade farewell to Han Xuefei and went upstairs to return to his room.
Li Moyan and Jiang Mu, who were sitting in the hall, looked at Tang Yong's back as he left with gloomy expressions.
"Brother Li, look at how arrogant this guy is. He's just killing two more fish demons and he's so arrogant."
"Why? Can you beat him?" Li Moyan glared at Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu choked after hearing his words. He originally thought that he could beat Tang Yong, but after what he saw and heard along the way, he no longer dared to think that way. Although Tang Yong's realm was quite low, he was extremely strange!
Killing demons was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, and he could even kill demons of a higher realm.
Compared to him, it seemed that … he really couldn't beat him.
