Just now, the blade in his hand was only an inch away from Li Xie's head, but right now, it was a thousand miles away.

Huang Qing was extremely upset, she swung her blade towards Li Xie once again, completely disregarding everything else.

In the blink of an eye, Huang QIng heard the sound of the blade in his hand being flattened. It was extremely ear-piercing.

He was simply unable to imagine just what had happened.

Immediately following that, a wave of Sword Qi landed on Huang QIng's body, immediately toppling him over. Huang QIng directly tumbled down from the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Huang Qing's stomach was in a tumble and his entire body was in tatters.

Huang QIng almost didn't recognize him, completely losing his dignity as the gang leader of Black Crane Gang.

When Huang Qing's left hand was about to prop him up, Zhu He and Zhang Nian both fell from the sky, their bodies covered in wounds.

Huang Qing raised her gaze to the top of the mountain, where Li Xie had already jumped down, and was getting closer and closer to them.

Huang Qing involuntarily retreated, his steps already in a mess.

Ah …

Zhu He and Zhang Nian's miserable cries resounded through the night sky. Their Martial Veins had already been severed, and fresh blood immediately dyed the ground under their feet and their arms red.

Huang QIng was stupefied. His retreating steps came to a sudden halt, as if someone had grabbed onto his arm.

At this moment, he was sweating profusely and his entire body was trembling.

Whoosh …

The Sword Qi flashed by and cut apart Huang Qing's martial vein. He painfully fell to the ground and continuously rolled about.

However, Huang Qing didn't roll around for long. Not long after, he passed out from exhaustion.

Li Xie heaved a long sigh of relief. At this moment, he finally felt the exhaustion in his body.

Just now, he had been constantly sprinkling Nine Souls Sword, and his exhaustion had been concealed very well. Even Huang Qing and the rest hadn't noticed.

Li Xie swept his eyes across Huang Qing and the rest, who had already fainted with pale faces.

He kept his Nine Souls Sword and walked forward step by step. He had to find Han Jinshan's location before the sun rose in the sky.

If the news of Han Jinshan's disappearance spread throughout the streets and alleys of Zhong Yuan City at daybreak, the citizens of Zhong Yuan City would completely fall into panic.

At that time, large and small forces would come out to divide up the chaotic Zhong Yuan City.

Although Li Xie had not stayed in the Zhong Yuan City for much longer, he did not want the flourishing Zhong Yuan City to be destroyed in its entirety, and even the other cities that were affected by it.

As he continued to walk forward, Li Xie suddenly felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier.

Under his feet, two vines had already tied up his legs, and were continuously spreading upwards.

These two vines were obviously under the control of the Elemental Energy, and they grew thicker and thicker.

Bang

Suddenly, the vines wrapped around Li Xie's legs dragged him into the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, when Li Xie woke up, his surroundings were filled with light.

It took Li Xie a while to get used to the scenery around him. He was in an extremely spacious cave, and this kind of cave was extremely rare.

Li Xie frowned, he felt that Han Jinshan was nearby.

There was a high chance that this place was within the range of the mountain. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to enter this place, and it wouldn't be an easy matter for them to leave.

If not for those two vines, Li Xie wouldn't have been able to find them even if he tore apart the mountain range.

Suddenly, Li Xie heard a series of footsteps, that fluctuated between fast and slow.

The corner of Li Xie's mouth raised, he had a premonition that he would be meeting a few important figures, or even that person surnamed Su.

Therefore, Li Xie's heart was full of anticipation.

Creak …

When the cave's door was pushed open, Su Ding took the lead to walk towards Li Xie.

Behind Su Ding were a few black-clothed Martial Cultivator s, they were escorting the exhausted Han Jinshan with unified footsteps.

Su Ding sized Li Xie up from head to toe.

As the cave was very spacious, the sound of Su Ding and the others' footsteps kept echoing in the cave.

When Su Ding stood in front of Li Xie, he reached out his hand and patted Li Xie's shoulder.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After Li Xie fell asleep for a few hours, his body had actually recovered quite a few Elemental Energy s.

This further strengthened Su Ding's previous decision, that Li Xie must not stay!

Su Ding looked back, and the black-robed Martial Cultivator immediately pulled Han Jinshan over to his side.

Facing Han Jinshan's gaze, Su Ding seemed to be unable to bear it.

After all, they had already known each other for dozens of years, and there were even times when they would confide in each other.

Now they were on the opposite side, and there was no room for redemption.

Han Jinshan shook his head at Su Ding, he felt that he had never met Su Ding before.

Su Ding laughed, he was purposely hiding his true emotions.

Young Master Li, do you want to continue living? Su Ding looked at Li Xie and asked softly.

Of course. Li Xie replied naturally, his eyes neither servile nor overbearing.

Un, I will give you a chance to live on now, you only need to use the Nine Souls Sword on your back to cut open Han Jinshan's chest. Su Ding said.

You sure are vicious … Han Jinshan stared at Su Ding and bellowed.

Brother Han, for the sake of the Su Family's future, I have no choice but to do this! Su Ding clenched his fist and said.

Han Jinshan glanced at Su Ding one last time, and then closed his eyes.

Su Ding waved his hand towards Li Xie, causing the several iron chains binding him to fall to the ground.

Su Ding would not ask again. He felt that Li Xie would make the right choice.

This empty cave was an extremely special place, and only Su Ding had the means to leave. Even if the others had profound realms in the Martial Cultivator, they might not be able to see the light of day again.

Old Master Su, I won't do anything to Mayor Han. Li Xie said resolutely.

After Su Ding finished listening to what Li Xie had to say, he couldn't help but shake his head.

It was very obvious that Su Ding was very disappointed with the decision Li Xie had made.

He really wanted to give Li Xie another chance to make a decision, but in the end, he gave up on this idea.

Young Master Li, I really don't understand you. Su Ding sighed.

I should be the one who can't see through you, Old Master Su. Li Xie replied.

Yes. Su Ding nodded, and then placed his gaze on Han Jinshan.

At this time, Han Jinshan had already opened his eyes and was looking at Li Xie in shock.

Li Xie could have traded his life for his freedom, but Li Xie didn't.

Su Ding, why are you doing this? Han Jinshan looked at Su Ding and asked.

Brother Han, you don't need to know so much. Su Ding said.

Stop calling me Brother Han. I have broken off all ties with you. Han Jinshan said resolutely.

Oh, is that true? Su Ding frowned and asked.

Of course! Han Jinshan turned his gaze elsewhere, he was not willing to look at Su Ding one more time.

Su Ding sneered, Han Jinshan's tone was truly determined.

Since that was the case, Su Ding was naturally not willing to take another look at Han Jinshan.

I'm sorry, Brother Han! Before he finished speaking, Su Ding summoned out a dagger and held it tightly in his hand, taking the opportunity to pierce through Han Jinshan's heart.

Han Jinshan opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Ding, his expression was filled with shock.

Perhaps he never would have thought that Su Ding would actually do it himself, and so viciously.

When Su Ding pulled the dagger out from Han Jinshan's chest, the black-clothed Martial Cultivator released his hand and Han Jinshan laid down in a pool of blood.

Han Jinshan's breathing gradually stopped, but he still opened his eyes.

Su Ding shook his right hand, and the red dagger immediately disappeared.
