Chapter 405 Never Forgot
Zuo Xi approached Yin Qi with a complicated look in his eyes.
Looking at this girl who had lost all her weapons and was powerless to resist, a wave of sadness welled up in my heart.
He stretched out his hand, his fingers under the black glove as if cast from iron, and gently placed them on Yin Qi's shoulder. His voice was low and firm: "I can give you a chance. I will lift the boundary and I promise not to hurt you."
Yin Qi coughed hard, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were filled with determination: "Sorry... You only have two choices, kill me, or stay here with me."
Zuo Xi's breathing became heavy. He suddenly grabbed Yin Qi's neck, ignored her resistance, and pressed her hard on the cold ground.
His fingers locked around her throat like an iron chain, preventing her from escaping.
"You said that your former captain made the wrong choice, abandoning you all to face an unbeatable enemy alone."
Yin Qi seemed so powerless under Zuo Xi's control that all her struggles seemed pale and powerless.
"You know what I'm thinking? That captain is such a loser. His mistakes aren't just in his decision-making, he's also set a terrible example for you. You won't learn anything valuable."
His fingers gradually increased in strength, and Yin Qi's breathing became more and more difficult. She tried to break free with all her strength, but in the face of such absolute power, all her efforts seemed futile.
"You are as stupid, arrogant... and selfish as him." Zuo Xi's voice was cold and ruthless.
"Now, you will experience what your former captain felt at his deathbed..."
As Zuo Xi's strength continued to increase, Yin Qi's struggle gradually weakened and her vision began to blur.
But the tenacity that flashed in her eyes did not fade. Instead, at the last moment, a barely perceptible smile crossed her face.
"Although...what you said just now... disgusts me..."
Yin Qi used up her last bit of strength to tightly grasp Zuo Xi's gloved fingers, trying to break free.
"But... ahem... I have to admit that you are right... Huo Tian... is indeed an extremely stupid person..."
"So, you choose to repeat his mistakes..."
Zuo Xi was about to continue but was interrupted by Yin Qi. In addition to pain, there was a cunning glint in her eyes.
"You're wrong... Don't think... I'd be stupid enough to... really come alone to deal with you...?"
Yin Qi suddenly let go of Zuo Xi's hand and grabbed his collar instead.
His voice was weak but firm. "The first lesson for Team Seven... getting to know your teammates, including each person's abilities and aura... Remember, Captain Zuo Xi? This is the rule you set as the first captain."
When Zuo Xi heard this, his pupils constricted instantly, because he could clearly hear thunder rumbling in his ears.
Yes... Team 7, a forever family, will never abandon each other... This is exactly the first rule he set.
"I see..." He slowly released his hand that was pinching Yin Qi's neck, and then stood up.
At the same time, the blade flashing with thunder was already on his neck.
Li Muhan, who had turned into a half-demon, was now standing behind him, his eyes flashing with golden light, staring at the man intently, not giving him any chance to escape again.
"Your realm wasn't meant to trap me, but rather a signal flare for your companions. Do you trust him so much? Trust this demon."
Yin Qi
"...Of course." Yin Qi's eyes were half closed, and her consciousness began to drift, but her words were full of conviction, "Because he... is my captain..."
"Because he is my captain..."
After saying this, Yin Qi fell into a coma.
With Yin Qi unconscious, the rules of the Ring of Death are still in effect, and the hall on the first floor has become the site of a brutal life-and-death duel.
Zuo Xi turned around and faced Li Muhan, his tone cold, "You are not Chang Yue. I finally see clearly that you are not him."
"You seem to be able to communicate now, but unfortunately I don't have the time to chat with you at the moment."
Li Muhan's Fu Jiang Zhen Mo moved closer to Zuo Xi's throat, and the lightning on the blade intertwined with his demonic power.
"As my predecessor, I have given you enough respect. Now let's see who's really good." Li Muhan's eyes were firm and he did not back down.
"As you wish, devil." Zuo Xi responded, and the atmosphere of the battle suddenly became tense.
The battle is about to begin.
Zuo Xi, who has mastered the power of raven, is now at a completely different level than before.
He took a deep breath, and the power of the raven surged throughout his body. Black feathers appeared around him, covering him like a dark cloud.
Then he leaped back, avoiding the sharp slash from Li Muhan's wrist. At the same time, several black feathers condensed in his hand. As they flew towards Li Muhan, they transformed into dozens of ravens in mid-air.
"Thunder wrapped!" Li Muhan shouted angrily, and the thunder light of the demon-suppressing sword in his hand became brighter, and the black bracelet turned into arm armor that wrapped around his right arm.
The lightning wrapped all the ravens together, and soon these black ravens were blown to pieces by the thunder.
But the lightning did not stop and rushed towards where Zuo Xi was.
Li Muhan stared at Zuo Xi. At this moment, Zuo Xi could clearly turn into a shadow and escape like he did before, but he didn't.
Both of his faces were distorted, as if he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle.
"Get out of the way!!! Hurry!! Get out of the way!!!"
“…No…I can’t.”
"You bastard!!! Do you think you can escape my control? Don't forget who is helping you suppress the power of Raven in your body!!"
The burned face went completely crazy. Facing the whistling thundering blade light, Zuo Xi's body finally chose to stay where it was. Not only that.
He also suddenly opened his arms and summoned countless ravens to form a closed protective wall to block himself.
boom--
Zuo Xi knew very well that any raven that tried to block the power of thunder would be torn to pieces.
Although the raven's power is strong, it is only at the level of a natural disaster. However, each of the demons hidden in this man's body has the power to destroy the world...
Leave now...If you leave now, you can survive.
but.......
He was hesitating, his heart feeling like those ravens being torn apart by the powerful strength of the man in front of him.
Li Muhan stared at Zuo Xi intently, as if he wanted to see something from this man's actions.
In Zuo Xi's realm, the invisible defense built by a flock of crows was shattered without a trace under Li Muhan's thunder-like violent attack.
"You can continue to use your realm to resist my attacks. I will tear your realm apart, and the raven in your body will never be able to manifest again."
Amidst the thunder, the devil's voice struck Zuo Xi's heart like a huge bell.
These words were like a shot of adrenaline, causing the energy he was about to unleash to suddenly stagnate.
Looking at the ravens being torn apart by thunder one after another, he felt as if he was losing something important. His lips began to tremble and his mind fell into a kind of madness again.
“No no…no…don’t…!”
With Zuo Xi's loud shout, the remaining crows all turned into black feathers before being torn apart. Even though they were swept by thunder, they did not end up being torn to pieces.
Now there were no crows to block his view.
He could only face this destructive force with his physical body, but Zuo Xi did not escape. Instead, he turned around without hesitation.
He held Yin Qi, who was lying on the ground, tightly in his arms, ready to use his body to meet the coming thunderbolt.
At the same time, a heart-wrenching scream came out of his mouth.
"...Mo Xuan!! Mo Xuan!!! No!!! I will protect you, I will definitely protect you this time!! I will take you home!! I will take everyone in Team 7 home!!!"
In an instant, lightning flashed, as if to tear everything apart, but at that moment, the thunder seemed to be dissolved by an invisible force and disappeared without a trace, without causing any harm to Zuo Xi and Yin Qi in his arms.
The man's body was shaking, and his already tattered clothes were torn even further by the hurricane caused by the thunder.
The scarred face was filled with fear and despair. It seemed that even he himself could not understand his own actions, but a subconscious force made him still hold the girl in his arms tightly.
"...I, I won't let anyone hurt you...Mo Xuan...and Geng Yang and Wu Zhiqi...let's go home, let's go home together..."
"...You have never forgotten your oath to the Special Management Bureau. You are the former captain of Team 7, and therefore, you also remember Team 7's creed. Team 7 will always be family to each other."
Li Muhan slowly raised his hand, disbanded the Fujiang Zhenmo, and at the same time released his half-demon form, restoring his original appearance.
He walked slowly towards Zuo Xi, who was still kneeling to protect Yin Qi. Every step he took was firm and powerful, and every word he spoke was resounding.
"So I know you've never hurt any of your teammates, Captain Zuo Xi. I've just confirmed my judgment. Now, I'll use another method to assist you."
Snap——
As Li Muhan's footsteps fell, his soles gradually turned into sheep's hooves. A dark whirlwind surrounded him, bringing with it bursts of mysterious low hums.
At the same time, the crisp sound of chains colliding accompanied by a low voice came from behind Zuo Xi.
"Realm...Soul Devouring Arbitration."
