Under the night, Han Lie was slashed in the back with a knife, but he turned around without any pause and swept the demon knife across. It instantly hit the armor of the black-armored guard. After making a crisp sound, it was only slightly submerged.【】
"Hey hey hey!"
The black-armored guard smiled ferociously. If his black armor didn't have any protection, what was the use of wearing it every day? Seeing that the weird blood-colored long knife had been stuck in the gap in the armor, he immediately swung the knife and slashed at Han Lie again.
passed.
Han Lie's left hand struck the soul-suppressing seal on the long sword, causing its trajectory to deviate. Then he withdrew the red-blood demon sword with his right hand. The power of the soul-giving power made his right hand burn with flames and hit the black-armored guard hard.
"Bang!"
The black-armored guard couldn't help but take a few steps back. Although the punch failed to hurt his roots, it made his chest feel tight and his eyesight turned black.
However, just when his eyes returned to normal, he saw a strange blood-red long knife approaching him, and then his throat hurt sharply. Without even thinking about it, his throat had already been penetrated!
"Plop!"
Another corpse hit the ground heavily, and Han Lie couldn't help but kneel on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood. Then he put his left hand on the corpse and continued to absorb its life force.
Immediately, the horrific wound on his back slowly healed, and he became extremely exhausted both physically and mentally.
However, this corpse only allowed the initial healing of his injuries. Because of the ability of the Red Blood Demon Sword and the Gloves of Life, at first glance he seemed to be extremely powerful, killing several people in the Pulse Opening Realm with Yunling Realm, but in fact
But he was trading life for life. If he didn't have the gloves of life, his body would probably be cold by now.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, when Han Lie went to find the remaining corpse to absorb the life force, he was surprised to find that the Glove of Life was unresponsive!
"It should have reached its limit. This evil weapon has not grown to a certain level yet. You have to be careful next time." Long You's rather solemn voice sounded again. Obviously, he did not expect that the Glove of Life had reached its limit now.
"Damn..."
Han Lie was unwilling to give up, but he could only keep taking out various healing and recovery elixirs from the storage ring and throwing them into his mouth in order to recover as much as possible.
This time Wang Qi brought an old man in black who was in the fifth line of the Kaimai Realm, Zhao Fengyun who was in the fourth line of the Kaimai Realm, and the rest were black-armored guards from the first to the third line.
But now, he had only killed Zhao Fengyun and a few black-armored guards, but he had already lost half his life.
If this continues, it may become a fatal situation, because the battle just now was quite fierce, and someone will definitely notice this place and start to encircle it.
Although he is still seriously injured, he must leave here as soon as possible...
"Um?"
At this time, Han Lie raised his brows, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. He actually found that his bottleneck had been loosened, and there were signs of a breakthrough!
"This is..."
Han Lie murmured, with an intriguing smile on his face. He jumped to Qin Xiling's side, then hugged her and continued moving forward.
Qin Xiling naturally saw the smile on Han Lie's face and wondered why he was laughing. However, seeing that he had no intention of speaking at this time, she did not ask.
Not long after, the sky was getting brighter. Han Lie used his soul power to find a cave where people could hide, and found some branches to cover the entrance of the cave.
The cave was not spacious, but he walked more than ten meters inside before reaching the end. After Han Lie threw a few spiritual jade into the cave, the cave became brighter, and then he took out some from the storage ring.
The dry food was distributed to Qin Xiling, and the two of them were able to relax a little.
At this time, Han Lie closed his eyes and sat there quietly cross-legged. While adjusting his condition, he was also recovering from his injuries. He was still thinking about how to escape.
Qin Xiling, on the other hand, was not hurt at all, but after being heartbroken, her pretty face looked very haggard, but she did not fall asleep, but looked up and down at Han Lie with her big eyes open.
After letting her take a closer look, she found that Han Lie was really handsome. She didn't know what he suddenly remembered, and a trace of blush appeared on his pretty face.
Suddenly, Han Lie slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "My realm is about to break through."
"ah?"
Qin Xiling couldn't help but exhale softly and looked at him in disbelief. She didn't expect that Han Lie would break through to the pulse-opening realm so soon. This talent simply made her ashamed.
However, when she saw Han Lie's frown, she couldn't help but whisper: "Isn't this a good thing? Why don't you seem happy?"
Han Lie shook his head and said with a slightly solemn expression: "At this time, this is not a good thing."
Although this cave can hide their figures, if someone passes by, they will definitely notice it. By then, they will become turtles in the urn, and if Han Lie is in a breakthrough state at that time, then things will become more dangerous...
But what really makes Han Lie feel embarrassed is that if he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know when the next opportunity to break through to the Pulse Opening Realm will come.
Now he is eager to grow rapidly and does not want to miss this opportunity.
Qin Xiling was very smart and understood the reason after a moment's thought. She lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."
Han Lie sighed slightly in his heart, stretched out his hand to touch her hair, and comforted her: "Don't be sad, everyone has something to do, and sometimes you have to make a choice to come into contact with death, Mr. Li is like this
, Gaoshan and the others are even more so..."
Hearing this, Qin Xiling's head couldn't help but lower. From Han Lie's angle, he could vaguely see two crystal drops falling to the ground.
Han Lie stood up slowly, looked down at her in the dim cave, and said slowly: "This forest is not very big, so we can't hide in this place for too long.
will be discovered, and now you have two choices."
Qin Xiling opened her big eyes and looked at him seriously, knowing that this choice was quite difficult for Han Lie.
Han Lie stared at those eyes and said slowly: "Choose to move forward. With my current strength, I can't defeat the Wang family, and I'm not sure I can escape successfully. I can only choose to take risks and break through my own realm. If I succeed, I can help you.
Kill those people in the Wang family and avenge Gao Shan and others. If someone discovers the breakthrough and fails, we will all die here. And even if we succeed, we still have a long way to go before we can reach Canghong Spiritual Academy. I
The strength of the Kai Pulse Realm cannot guarantee your safety."
"If you choose to retreat, I will not make a breakthrough in the realm. I will recover a little. Although I can't defeat them, I will be sure to avoid them. I will do the opposite and send you back to the Qin family, but this will take a lot of time. In this way
Once you arrive, you will not be able to catch up with the entrance ceremony of Canghongling Academy, and Wang Qi has accomplished his goal in disguise."
Death or survival, what will she choose?
After Han Lie finished speaking, he stared at Qin Xiling, wanting to know her true thoughts. If it were him, in such a dangerous situation, Canghong Spiritual Academy would no longer have to go, and he could complete the update alive.
There are so many things going on, it would be too risky to force a breakthrough!
There was one thing he didn't tell Qin Xiling. Even if he broke through forcefully, he was not 100% sure that he would be able to break through to the pulse-opening realm!
Because he felt that Qin Xiling would choose to go back...
Han Lie didn't mean to embarrass Qin Xiling and let her make the choice, but it was about whether she could enter Canghong Spiritual Academy. This opportunity was undoubtedly very important to her, and he wanted to respect Qin Xiling's own wishes.
"No!"
At this time, Qin Xiling stood up suddenly and said firmly: "I will not go back."
Regarding this unexpected answer, Han Lie took a deep look at Qin Xiling. He wanted to know whether she was continuing to show off her strength or whether she had true thoughts.
Qin Xiling looked at Han Lie's eyes and said firmly: "You must think that I am too delicate, I love to cry, and I am a burden to carry around. I can't bear much hardship, so I will choose to go back as a matter of course, right?
"
"Well……"
Rarely, Han Lie felt a little hot on his face and didn't know how to answer this question. Indeed, if he were alone, no matter whether there was a breakthrough or not, people like Wang Qi would not be able to keep him at all, but if he brought Qin Xiling...
Seeing his speechless look, Qin Xiling looked angry at first, then took a deep breath and said calmly with a pretty face: "Maybe you think I am trying to be strong and deceiving my heart, but as you just said
, some things have to be done, and sometimes we have to face difficult choices."
"But, my current thought is that I can't go back. Even if I die here soon, I can't go back to Feng Beicheng and the Qin family!"
"You don't know that when I told my father that I would no longer need those elixirs, his body actually trembled. Although he tried his best to hide it, I clearly noticed it. My father has paid a lot to train me over the years, and even
None of my sisters nearly exhausted the Qin family's wealth like me, and what did they get in exchange? A little girl who chose to live when faced with a life-or-death decision? "
There were tears in Qin Xiling's eyes, but she still looked directly at Han Lie stubbornly, and said firmly: "Gaoshan and the others died in this forest and died on the way to escort me. I
I must give them an explanation. If I back down at this time, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I want to become a powerful practitioner like my father and sister, not the second young lady of the Qin family!"
"My sister doesn't know how much effort she put into helping me get this place. If I give up, how sad will she be? And if Wang Qi enters Canghong Spiritual Academy, but I lose the qualification, the Wang family will definitely surpass Qin.
Family, I will never allow such a thing to happen. I am also a member of the Qin family, and I can shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the family instead of bringing destruction to the family!" []
