At the critical moment, Jiang Li remembered the jade pendant that Mengyue gave to him.
Although he didn't want to trouble her again just after they were separated, at this critical moment of life and death, he didn't care so much anymore. Zi Pei couldn't let anything happen to her again, so he didn't hesitate to use his mind to touch her.
A jade pendant.
The jade pendant sent out a strange wave.
Jiang Li knew that this should be a successful message sent.
"Zi Pei, you don't have to come over in a hurry. Just protect yourself. I can still handle it."
Jiang Li shouted loudly. He was already a little exhausted, but he didn't want Zi Pei to get into trouble because of his distraction. If he had to die, he would die.
"Uncle, you have to be careful!"
Zi Pei's pink dress was stained red with blood. She was bathing in the enemy's blood and was still moving forward with difficulty towards Jiang Li's location.
In the pitch-black night, Jiang Li had no idea how many enemies there were.
At first, he thought there wouldn't be too many assassins, so he launched the "Thunder Slash" extremely bravely, killing six people in a row. But soon, he discovered something was wrong. They were surrounded by a large number of assassins.
Fortunately, the strength of these enemies was not too high, otherwise Jiang Li would not even have a chance to counterattack.
The Xuan-level treasure armor on his body took many attacks for him, otherwise he would have been hacked to death by random swords.
There is also the Ice Soul Sword in his hand, which is also in the Xuanjie. Although Jiang Li is not very good at using it, the power it unleashes is also very powerful.
He often stabbed the Ice Soul Sword into the chests of assassins one after another like cutting through tofu.
Blood splashed out, staining his face and his clothes red.
The effects of the pills he swallowed were getting weaker and weaker, and Jiang Li became a little dazed.
It was also at this time that a big knife struck at his neck!
There was no Xuan-level treasure armor to protect him here. He wanted to raise the Ice Soul Sword to block it, but found a spear that had jammed the Ice Soul Sword in his hand.
Jiang Li's expression changed drastically, but he was helpless.
Seeing that he was about to die, a long sword opened the sword and let it chop into Jiang Li's Xuanji treasure armor.
His body was chopped away, and Jiang Li fell to the ground, rolling several times. His energy and blood were turbulent. He was in great pain, but at least his life was saved.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Zi Pei's voice was a little weak.
"Zi Pei, take these elixirs to replenish your physical strength and spiritual energy. You can also use the Ice Soul Sword."
Jiang Li quickly took out several pills and threw them to Zi Pei, and also threw the Ice Soul Sword in his hand.
Zi Pei quickly took it and drank it. He didn't have time to absorb it. Many assassins swarmed him. Fortunately, with the Ice Soul Sword, Zi Pei's combat power soared a lot, and he was able to successfully hold off many assassins and give Jiang Li a certain degree of success.
recovery time.
Mengyue, why haven’t you arrived yet?
Jiang Li looked a little anxious. There had never been a moment when he was so eager to see Mengyue.
After fighting fiercely for a long time, Zi Pei finally couldn't hold on anymore. She said in a tired voice: "Uncle, we may all have to explain here today."
Jiang Li felt a little helpless. Having recovered some strength, he also joined the battle circle.
"Zipei, I hurt you, I'm sorry,"
Jiang Li knew that it was impossible to count on Mengyue.
Mengyue, lied to him.
In fact, he strongly suspected that Mengyue was the one who found these assassins.
Fortunately, he was almost deceived by Mengyue's affectionate appearance.
"Uncle, don't say that. I chose to follow you voluntarily."
Zi Pei was still fighting like a trapped beast. She had reached her limit, but her arms continued to dance.
Because she knew very well that if she stopped, she would be hacked to death.
Jiang Li said nothing, feeling very guilty inside.
Zijin and Zipei, the two sisters, are likely to die because of him.
"Thunder Light Tomb!"
Jiang Li drained all the spiritual energy from his meridians and unleashed his strongest attack.
Countless lightnings turned into tombs and shrouded the assassin in front of them.
More than a dozen assassins were killed on the spot.
Jiang Li also completely fainted at this time.
Zi Pei fought hard and came to Jiang Li's fallen body. She used her body to protect Jiang Li without hesitation.
Many assassins swarmed up and turned Zi Pei's body into a pile of minced meat.
Jiang Li's body was spattered with blood, and several pieces of Zi Pei's flesh slipped onto his face.
When he saw that he could not escape being chopped into pieces, he saw a cold light flying up.
When many assassins were still looking confused, they discovered that there was a blood mark on their necks.
Then their bodies fell down slowly and limply.
A figure is still far away in the sky at this moment, but her sword has already arrived in advance.
Ten seconds later, Mengyue's figure fell from the sky.
Her face was livid and extremely angry.
Then she clenched her fist fiercely, and immediately, the assassin's body in the field was torn to pieces by countless terrifying sword rays.
A rain of blood fell slowly, dyeing the area red.
The leaves, grass, soil and stones were all stained red with hot blood.
After feeding Jiang Li a treasure pill, she quickly collected Zi Pei's minced meat, dug a pit on the spot, and buried her.
She became silent, and after quickly injecting spiritual energy into Jiang Li, she hugged Jiang Li and slowly left the place.
Daybreak.
Jiang Li slowly woke up.
He had been put on a clean white robe.
Everything last night was like a nightmare.
Jiang Li's heart ached to death.
He held his cheek with his hands and cried helplessly.
Why? Why does God treat me like this?
Jiang Li roared angrily, Zi Pei was still the fresh and lively Zi Pei last night, but now, he can no longer see her.
"Cry, it will make you feel better if you cry."
Mengyue's face was also a little gloomy. The two girls who had grown up with her, the two orphans adopted by her father, and her few friends, Zi Jin and Zi Pei, were all dead. Things in the world are really impermanent.
"Hehe...hehe...stop pretending here, seeing you like this makes me sick...I feel sick!"
Jiang Li felt really disgusted when he saw Mengyue's hypocritical appearance.
"What do you mean?"
Mengyue was already feeling uncomfortable, but now that she heard Jiang Li's words, she suddenly became a lot more irritated and asked in a cold voice.
"Do you still need me to explain it so clearly? Who told me that as long as I touch the jade pendant with my mind, they will immediately come to help me?"
"But why did you arrive so late?"
"Also, the return route of me and Zi Pei is not sure at all, and it is impossible for anyone to know! Only you may make small moves! You said, don't you just want to be a cousin and erect a memorial arch at the same time?"
Jiang Li's tone was very vicious.
Zi Pei, his only relative, also died, and he was close to madness.
Damn it, why is he left to suffer alone?
"Jiang Li! Can't I be delayed for something?"
Mengyue's tone was a little weak, and her heart hurt a little.
"Yes, of course you can be delayed for something, and what a coincidence, you just delayed that second, until Zi Pei died, and then you came! You came in time!"
Jiang Li wiped away his tears and sneered.
"You mean, I saved you, but I saved you by mistake?"
Mengyue covered her chest, feeling congested and almost unable to breathe.
