C45 (1/2)

Inside the sword formation, Li Yuan and Li Tan looked at each other, seeing the madness in each other's eyes.

”Big brother, I'm still young, and I don't want to die. So, big brother, please, go die!” Li Yuan's face turned sinister, the long spear in his hand directly thrusted out, the majestic Authentic Qi exploded within the sword formation, causing Li Tan's figure to be pushed far away.

Li Tan did not expect his brother to turn hostile the moment he said it. It was not that he did not think of this kind of situation, but Hong Ling had brought forward this situation. He was like a demon from hell that suddenly activated the conflict between them, causing them to fight internally.

However, Li Tan realized that he had no way to stop Hong Ling's actions, and he didn't even have the chance to retaliate. This youngster's strength, had already far surpassed his imagination.

”Li Yuan, have you gone mad? This kid's goal is for us to kill each other. He'll be able to reap the rewards for our actions!” Li Tan blocked Li Yuan's attack with his spear, and immediately berated him.

Li Yuan did not have any intention to stop. Even if he knew that this was Hong Ling's scheme, in the face of death, he did not mind being used by others. As long as he could live on, he could kill everyone in the world.

I'm still young, and I still have a long way to go. I still need to properly enjoy all the wonderful things in this world, and I'm different from a hypocrite like you, big brother. I won't hold back, and I won't go into hibernation, but I know how to kill!

A monstrous killing intent slowly gathered in his eyes. Since he couldn't break the sword formation, then he might as well use his big brother's head to make a deal. If you die, I'll let you live!

Hong Ling held Lian Chengyue, and looked at the Li brothers who were fighting with each other in the array with interest. Lian Chengyue struggled in his embrace, but saw that the young man had hugged her even more tightly.

Her face was burning red, she did not dare struggle further, raising her head to look, only to see Hong Ling beaming with joy.

”Li Yuan, you really want to kill me?” Li Tan forced Li Yuan to retreat with his spear, he stood still with a gloomy face.

If Li Yuan decided to join hands with him, the two of them could still escape, but if one of them was killed, what awaited them would be death.

”Big brother, I was forced to do this, don't blame me!” Li Yuan's lance trembled, the lance danced like a pear flower as it lashed down towards Li Tan.

Boom!! The two of them clashed, bringing about a powerful air current within the sword formation. Li Tan snorted, he knew that speaking any further was pointless, Li Yuan had already hardened his heart to kill him, so how could he sit still and wait for death?

His figure flashed, and the long spear in Li Tan's hands drew a circle in the air in that instant. His pupils contracted, and a burst of bright and resplendent spear light exploded out from the tip of the spear.

”Five Tiger Soul Shattering Spear! Big Brother, you really want to kill me!”

Li Yuan was shocked. Looking at the white tiger image that was gradually condensing behind Li Tan, his eyes were filled with shock. The five white tiger images roared and under Li Tan's control, they rushed into the tip of his spear.

Li Tan's face paled as he used a powerful martial skill like the Five Tiger Absolute Soul Spear. Even he, who was at the great circle of Essence Refinement into Qi, was not safe and sound, this was simply not a martial skill that cultivators of Essence Refinement into Qi could use.

Roar, the Five Tigers instantly merged together. Under the control of Li Tan's Authentic Qi, they shot out and fiercely smashed into Li Yuan's body.

Li Yuan spat out blood and was sent flying backwards. Even though he and Li Tan were cultivators of the same level, he had no way of resisting this person's Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear.

His gaze was fixed on the young couple outside the sword formation, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred. It was all because of them, if it wasn't for them, these two wretched commoners, how could he have fallen to the point where he was on the verge of death, heavily injured by his big brother.

”It's all your fault, it's all your fault, I'm going to kill you!” Li Yuan went crazy. With a loud shout, he ignored his injuries and fiercely charged towards the sword formation.

Seeing his crazy appearance, Hong Ling frowned, this Li Yuan was actually almost driven crazy. With a thought, a crack in the sword formation appeared, just enough for him to rush out.

Li Yuan never thought that he would actually be able to rush out of the sword formation. At this moment, Hong Ling was right in front of him, holding Lian Chengyue with a face filled with disdain.

”Kill him, I must kill him! He must die!” Li Yuan kept talking to himself. His eyes were filled with a crazed killing intent.

Hong Ling's expression was still cold as he looked at Li Yuan, who was getting closer. With a thought, the three swords in the sword formation whistled as they pierced through the air, cutting off Li Yuan's hands with a chi sound.

Li Yuan screamed as he looked down in disbelief at his injured arm that was spurting blood. His eyes were filled with terror.

With another thought from Hong Ling, chi, Li Yuan's leg tendons were cut off by the flying sword, and he knelt down heavily on the ground.

The young man was still holding onto Lian Chengyue, slowly stepping on the soft grass, he walked step by step until he was in front of Li Yuan, Hong Ling stared down at him from above, the long sword in his hand continuously hummed.

He raised his head and looked at the youth that was even more handsome than him. Looking at his warm eyes, Li Yuan's eyes were filled with bitterness. People only realize that sometimes, the things that they are proud of are actually nothing in the eyes of others.

Hong Ling's clothes fluttered in the wind as he looked at the young man, who was slowly closing his eyes to accept his fate. The longsword in his hand gently swung, and with a ”chi” sound, it brought forth a pool of fresh blood as Li Yuan slowly lay on the ground. Watching the young man's figure walk further and further away, the scene in his mind finally froze, forever frozen in this moment.

Hong Ling carried Lian Chengyue, and slowly walked to the front of the sword formation. In front of them, three swords quietly floated in the air, protecting the two of them.
