"Jiejiejie... the more you struggle, the more excited this emperor becomes. Cold Beauty, come here and let this emperor take a good look at you." Gu Qingfeng smiled wickedly as he walked step by step toward Leng Shiqing, reaching out his demonic claws.
Leng Shiqing was absolutely terrified; a feeling of desperate powerlessness welled up in her heart.
Watching Gu Qingfeng's demonic claws get closer and closer, suddenly, a spatial fluctuation came from extremely far away.
Gu Qingfeng frowned, while Leng Shiqing's face revealed wild joy, because she knew that someone from the Immortal King Palace had arrived! She was saved!
Normally in this kind of situation, an interrupted villain would inevitably stop; even if they were only a centimeter away from grabbing their target, they would definitely stop and go face the enemy.
But unfortunately, Gu Qingfeng was no ordinary villain.
"Stop!"
An angry shout echoing like thunder rang out from the distance.
Gu Qingfeng acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, continuing his previous action, and those sinful demonic claws successfully got exactly what they wanted.
"Ah!" Leng Shiqing let out a high-pitched scream.
"You're courting death!" The voice in the distance became even more furious.
The next moment, clang!
A blade's cry, like the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens, resounded through the world.
A blinding blade light suddenly surged from the void, annihilating the space, causing the firmament to tremble and the nearby waters to violently boil and split apart.
That blade light was dazzlingly bright, illuminating the world.
And this was merely the might caused by the blade being drawn from its sheath.
The one who drew the blade was a black-clad bladesman. In his hand, he held a snow-bright long blade. The blade was five feet long, and a radiant light like the sun flickered on its body, permeating with heaven-shaking killing intent.
The terrifying blade aura of madness, tyranny, and slaughter firmly locked onto Gu Qingfeng.
From the imposing aura radiating from this person, one could feel that this was an Immortal King! Although only at the early stage of the Immortal King realm, with his terrifying Dao of the Blade, he could probably even exchange a few blows with a mid-stage Immortal King.
Swish!
The black-clad bladesman slashed across the sky. A dazzling blade energy, a full ten thousand fathoms long, soared into the air and swept in all directions. The void instantly couldn't withstand the terrifying blade energy, cracking inch by inch and becoming covered in dense fractures.
That blade energy, containing terrifying might, ruthlessly struck toward Gu Qingfeng's back.
Facing this terrifying strike, Gu Qingfeng wasn't panicked or rushed. He simply reached out with force, scooped Leng Shiqing up from the ground, hugged her, and held her in front of him as a shield.
Seeing this, the black-clad bladesman's eyes nearly split open in rage: "Despicable!"
He never expected that Gu Qingfeng would suddenly use Leng Shiqing as a human shield.
At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else. He put all his effort into controlling the blade energy, attempting to destroy it so it wouldn't hurt Leng Shiqing.
But a swung blade was like spilled water; how could it be so easy to take back?
"Ah!" The black-clad bladesman roared loudly, veins bulging on his face as he exerted all his power, only then barely managing to control the blade energy.
With a loud bang.
That terrifying blade energy exploded in the void, not harming Gu Qingfeng or Leng Shiqing in the slightest.
But the black-clad bladesman wasn't so lucky. Forcibly interrupting and retracting his own blade energy caused the qi and blood throughout his body to flow backward, and his mana to riot. A mouthful of rebellious blood surged up his throat, and he directly spewed it out with a pfft.
"Jiejiejie..." Gu Qingfeng, grasping Leng Shiqing's assets, threw his head back and laughed wildly. "To think that this emperor is actually this powerful now. I haven't even exerted any strength, and with just a single look, the enemy spits blood on his own."
"You!" The black-clad bladesman glared furiously. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Qingfeng's demonic claws, and his heart was instantly seized by rage, causing him to actually spit out another mouthful of blood.
"You evil demon! Let go of Fairy Leng at once! Otherwise, I will absolutely not let you off!" the black-clad bladesman roared, jumping with rage.
"Oh? Fairy Leng?" Gu Qingfeng's wicked gaze continuously swept back and forth between Leng Shiqing and the black-clad bladesman, letting out strange laughs: "Jiejiejie... so it turns out to be a simp."
"You're telling this emperor to let go? Well, this emperor simply refuses. Not only will I not let go, but I'll also squeeze even tighter."
"Ah!" Leng Shiqing cried out in pain, her peerlessly beautiful face filled with a mix of shame and anger. "Li Futu! Don't worry about me, hurry up and kill him! I already have no face left to see anyone!"
Leng Shiqing clearly felt that, as a goddess, revealing such a pathetic side in front of her simp was absolute social death.
However, her only comfort right now was that when Gu Qingfeng used his fingers to pierce her clothes earlier, he only pierced the back, since it happened while she was running away. Now that she was being held in Gu Qingfeng's arms, she didn't have to worry about her simp seeing her even more pathetic backside.
"Shiqing! Don't worry, with me here, you'll definitely be fine!" the black-clad bladesman Li Futu shouted anxiously.
"Jiejiejie... hardship truly reveals true feelings. You're not even calling her Fairy Leng anymore, you've changed it to Shiqing. You want to save her, don't you? Very well, then be a good boy and put down your blade. Otherwise..." As Gu Qingfeng spoke, a ball of black light, as thick as ink, emerged in his hand.
A terrifying poisonous gas spread from the black light, dyeing even the surrounding waters with a layer of black.
"Poison of the Great Dao!!" Li Futu's expression changed wildly.
The moment he saw the Poison of the Great Dao, Li Futu finally understood why Leng Shiqing had said she was poisoned when she called for help earlier.
As an Immortal King powerhouse, ordinary poisons couldn't threaten them at all, but that absolutely did not include the Poison of the Great Dao.
"Stop at once!" Li Futu panicked. Seeing that Gu Qingfeng had already brought the Poison of the Great Dao close to Leng Shiqing's delicate face, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"I'll put down my blade right now!"
"Don't do it!" Leng Shiqing's face was full of anxiety.
She knew very well that for a bladesman, his blade was his life. Once he put down his blade, the bladesman would be no different from cutting off his own arms. His combat power would be greatly reduced, and by then, how could he possibly fight against Elder Demon Gu?
Li Futu looked at the anxiety in Leng Shiqing's eyes and immediately mistook it for concern for him. A look of deep affection was revealed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Shiqing. No matter what, I will definitely save you."
"Li Futu! If you dare listen to this evil demon and put down your blade, then I will... never see you again for the rest of my life! Listen to me, pick up your blade right now, ignore me, and quickly kill this demon! I already have no face left to see anyone, hurry up and kill him!"
Li Futu was completely unmoved, and instead said affectionately, "Shiqing, no matter what you become, I will never despise you. I know you're worried about me, and in truth, I also know that even if I put down my blade, this demon won't let us go. But I really can't do it. I can't bear to watch you die right in front of my eyes.
I... have no other choice!"
Clang.
Li Futu forcefully threw his blade onto the ground.
Leng Shiqing's heart trembled violently as she looked at Li Futu in disbelief. An indescribable feeling of being deeply moved surged through her entire body. She never expected that the man before her could actually go to such lengths for her.
"Li Futu! You bastard!!"
Tears slipped down silently, scattering onto the ground like pearls from a broken string.
Li Futu smiled faintly, giving Leng Shiqing a tender, reassuring look, before turning his cold, stern gaze toward Gu Qingfeng.
