At the critical moment, Su Ran stood behind Aimi Ye and raised his swords to block.
But how can it be stopped?
He knew very well that in front of the demonized Aganzo, any head-on confrontation would be tantamount to trying to defeat the enemy.
But if he did nothing, Aimiye would definitely die in this unprepared situation.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have removed the Qianjun Sword Talisman."
"Otherwise, I at least have a sword energy shield that I can use to hold on for a while."
Su Ran sighed silently in her heart and closed her eyes at the same time.
All this happened in just a few seconds.
When Aimi Ye came back to her senses.
The giant sword has fallen.
As Su Ran expected, his vulnerable sword energy shield was shattered by Aganzo again.
Immediately afterwards.
Click!
Together with the two light swords in his hands, they were also cut off on the spot!
"Oh haha."
"It looks like I'm going to die."
This was the last thought left in Su Ran's mind.
after all.
There was nothing that could stop this giant sword from cracking open his head like a watermelon.
So...why rush out like an idiot and show off?
"Not everyone can save the world like dad."
Su Ran felt a little tragic.
But my father’s voice, so gentle that it made people’s scalp numb, suddenly sounded in my ears:
"Don't be afraid."
"I'm here."
Um?
"So I'm already dead..." Su Ran closed her eyes peacefully.
It is said that before a person dies completely, hallucinations will appear in front of his eyes, auditory hallucinations will appear in his ears, and scenes from his life will reappear in his mind.
That's why he heard his father's voice.
"Wait a minute?"
Su Ran's tiger body suddenly shook.
This seems... not an illusion.
This voice...
It seemed to come from the back of his mind.
[It is detected that the sword master suffered fatal injuries.]
[The passive skill "Holy Aid" has been triggered. 】
"???"
Su Ran was stunned.
Holy aid?
What the hell kind of skill is this?
Why doesn't he remember that he learned this trick?
But at the moment when the system sound fell.
A bright holy light, as bright as a torch, rose from under his feet.
Aganzo's sword actually hit a seemingly invisible barrier!
What's even more incredible is that a striking sword light burst out from his body!
It looked like he was being struck out of thin air by an invisible opponent!
"...What the hell?"
Su Ran was dumbfounded.
This is crazy...
This is not a divine rescue, this is a divine retaliation!
All the damage caused by Aganzo's sword was actually reflected back by the holy light on his body!
It's equivalent to "I cut myself."
Thinking about it, he is really a cruel person.
"Ouch——"
Aganzo roared in pain, and the giant sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
He was covering the narrow and terrifying scar on his chest, almost losing control.
"You...?" Aimiye was even more shocked.
As soon as she turned around, she found that Su Ran had blocked the fatal blow for her, and even made a beautiful counterattack, severely injuring Aganzo!
But in fact, even Su Ran himself hasn't figured out what happened.
But he knew that his chance had come.
The next moment, he decisively pulled out Eleno from behind, stepped towards Aganzo and drew his sword!
Heavy rain came in spurts.
The impending thrust attack fell like raindrops on Aganzo's body in an instant!
Poke, poke, poke!
Su Ran's attacks were even more accurate and ruthless, each blow hitting the former's wound hard.
With one last powerful thrust, Eleno's sword completely penetrated Aganzo's heart.
His burning pupils were finally extinguished, and he could no longer utter pitiful screams.
"call……"
Su Ran took a deep breath and pulled out Eleno from Aganzo's body.
The latter knelt down in front of him, and then fell straight down.
Never stood up again.
it's over.
"Are you OK?"
Su Ran gasped slightly, then turned back to ask about Aimi Ye's situation.
The latter was obviously still a little shaken.
She stared at Su Ran's figure, feeling an undercurrent in her heart.
As the queen of the light elves, she is the queen of Sky City who stands above all people.
Apart from her father, she has never experienced the feeling of being truly protected.
Because there is no one strong enough to protect her yet.
This is her first time.
"I'm fine."
After a while, she nodded slowly.
…
late at night.
Su Ran leaned in front of the unicorn and stared at the elves flying in the sky in a daze.
He just figured out what happened today.
[Sword Talisman: Dear, I am here.]
[Passive skill: Holy Aid]
[When the sword master is about to receive fatal damage, a spiritual light wall will be generated, reflecting the same amount of damage and control effects to the source of the damage. 】
[Cooling time: 24h]
That's right.
This earthy sword talisman is full of sour smell.
It's dad's masterpiece.
The moment the holy light descended, the voice he heard were also the words burned into it by his father.
The sword charm that was supposed to be used to protect his wife accidentally saved his son's life.
"Life is always full of surprises and surprises... no, shocks."
Su Ran thought silently.
"I owe you my life."
Aimiye's voice came from beside him.
"That's good. Let's clear things up."
Su Ran smiled.
He knew that molesting the female city lord must be a capital crime, but the fact that he was still alive now meant that Aimi Ye had shown mercy.
"I killed both the black scale dragon and the undead swordsman."
"Can we get the seeds tomorrow?"
Su Ran asked.
"Yes." Aimiye nodded, "But I have something to ask you now."
"Um?"
"Who are you exactly?"
The cold voice of the female city lord came from behind Su Ran.
Su Ran turned her head slightly.
Under the light of the elf, I saw Aimi Ye standing light and as beautiful as a picture scroll.
"In all the movements of Xingyun Jiange, you did every detail perfectly."
"Nowadays, it's impossible for anyone else to do it except me."
Aimiye walked slowly towards Su Ran.
Su Ran's eyes moved slightly downward, and he saw Ai Miye's hand gradually touching the hilt of the sword.
Only then did he realize that Aimi Ye had been secretly observing him for a long time.
"I……"
Su Ran was just halfway through speaking.
But all he saw was a flash of sword light in the darkness.
He only felt a chill on his skin, and the next moment, Ai Miye's sword was already pressed against the side of his neck.
"This mysterious sword is called the Sword in the Stone, and countless heads have been broken on its blade."
"If you dare even tell a lie, I will bury you and Aganzo together tonight."
Aimiye's voice was as cold as ice.
"?!" Su Ran was so shocked that she almost jumped up, "Hey, isn't this too sudden for you!?"
"You have three seconds."
"Wait...wait a moment..."
"three……"
"Can you put the sword away first..."
"two……"
"not me……"
"one……"
"I said, I said!"
Aimiye stopped her voice, but picked up Su Ran and pushed her to the rock wall, leaning forward aggressively.
The blade of the Sword in the Stone was firmly attached to Su Ran's aorta.
Is this...a wall bang?
Su Ran was confused.
It was the first time in his life that someone held a sword to his throat, and he had to admit that he was still a little timid.
Moreover, in such a fatal position, even a person with a high level of cultivation would probably die on the spot with a single sword strike!
Although the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from him at the time, Su Ran knew very well that at such a moment, the more he had to pretend to be calm.
"Who else could I be?"
"As you know, I am just Su Jingxuan's adopted son."
"But I may never reach the level of my father in this life."
"I have been a useless swordsman since I was a child. Fortunately, I have a strong elder sister who is willing to let me hold her thigh. Otherwise, my ashes may not have been thrown into the sea."
"What's the difference between a waste like me and a harmless turtle?"
"You are the lord of Sky City and the queen respected by thousands of people. To you, I am just an insignificant existence."
"Of course you can kill me to erase a worry in your heart."
"But if you are willing to show mercy, you will have a true partner."
"My teammates are still fighting bloody battles in the city-state. There is no way I can just ignore them."
"Please believe me, we are not enemies, but friends!"
Su Ran dared to guarantee that at this moment, his eyes must be as bright as little stars, full of affection.
After listening to his words, the female city lord remained expressionless, but her eyes were a little softer without any trace.
"So...is this a cute guy who has passed the test?" Su Ran complained silently.
But obviously he thought too much.
Ai Miye suddenly raised his sword, condensed a sharp sword energy, and hit him on the back of the head with the sword spine.
"It's over."
These were the last two words that popped into Su Ran's mind.
He never expected that even Aganzo could not kill him, but he would eventually fall into the hands of a woman.
Boom!
Su Ran felt her eyes go dark, her body went limp, and she fainted.
…
Aimiye slowly put away her sword.
Su Ran had fallen to the ground in a big shape and was unconscious.
The blow was not fatal, but it was enough to knock him into a coma for an entire night.
She knelt down next to Su Ran, stretched out her slender hands, and unbuttoned his buttons one by one.
Then he pulled open his shirt, revealing the young man's thin but still plump chest.
Aimi Ye's face turned slightly red, but she still calmly pulled out the Sword in the Stone and pointed the blade at his chest.
Then stab it down.
The sharp sword blade cut open Su Ran's skin in an instant. Ai Miye moved the sword gently and carved a complex elven character on Su Ran's chest.
The wound was not too deep, but the blood was still flowing uncontrollably.
It must be quite painful, right?
Aimiye thought to herself.
But if you faint, you probably won't be able to feel the pain no matter how great it is.
After the characters were completed, Aimiye put the Sword in the Stone aside.
It is the word "deed" in Elvish language.
She is doing the preparatory work for the contract ceremony among the elves.
The surrounding elves gathered around the two of them, imitating Aimiye's behavior, and recited some unintelligible mantras in a low voice.
The circular contract sword formation slowly emerged on the ground, glowing with dazzling light.
"Only the last ceremony is left."
She wasn't sure whether the young man in front of her was worth trusting.
Is it worth entrusting the fate of Sky City to him?
But she could see the shadow of that man in this boy.
I also saw something - something that seemed to be called hope.
She stared at Su Ran's face, feeling a little uneasy inside and feeling a little hot in her body.
She had never tried this kind of contract before and was very unsettled.
After hesitating for a long time.
She finally leaned down gently.
Four pieces of warm softness embrace each other in the dark night.
