"Now!"
Song Xiwei's spiritual power has been fully restored.
She had no intention of continuing to entangle with the Demon King; all she wanted now was to get Aoqian away from here safely.
However, just as they were about to activate the teleportation array to leave...
Aoqian suddenly began to tremble violently all over.
He vomited a mouthful of black blood on the spot.
"What's going on!" Song Xiwei hurriedly checked Aoqian's pulse.
Aoqian was too weak to even utter a complete sentence, "Go... don't worry about me... you go first..."
"We'll go together! Don't say anything, I'll take you with me!" Song Xiwei supported Aoqian, and just as she was about to take a step, Aoqian's body convulsed violently again. This time, black blood was seeping from his ears, eyes, and nose...
The situation couldn't get any worse.
The Demon King clapped his hands, his laughter sending chills down one's spine. "Trying to leave? What do you take this place for? Do you really think I've been playing around these past two years?"
"What exactly did you do to him!" Song Xiwei tried to transfer her spiritual energy to Aoqian, but it had no effect at all.
Aoqian was convulsing all over. He had lost consciousness and his breath was barely audible, as if he would leave this world at any moment.
"He didn't do anything special, he was just tricked by Lian Ce when he was trying to kill him. I never expected that this little punk Lian Ce would actually prove so reliable at the crucial moment!" The Demon King's smile became utterly maniacal. "I'm now incredibly looking forward to seeing what it'll be like for a dignified Demon Lord to beg and grovel, begging to be...! Song Xiwei, you can't help him, hahahaha! In his current state, only a real man can get him out of this predicament, and you? What you can do is simple: find a few strong men..."
"Shut up!" The offensive words made Song Xiwei realize just how despicable the Demon King had Lian Ce use against Aoqian.
Song Xiwei's eyes were bloodshot.
"There's only one way to save him, and he can only hold on for two hours at most. After that, he can't be saved. It's up to you to decide. Do you want to stand by and watch him die, or do you want to find someone to rescue him? But either way, I'd be happy to see it. After all, it's your choice for him, and I just want to see you and him never be together again!"
The Demon King stopped trying to stop her, saying, "Time waits for no one, so I won't stop you anymore. Once he's dead, or once he finds out what you did to him, can you go back to how things were before? Anyway, no matter what happens, you won't make me wait too long. I'll come to take you away soon so we can get married."
Song Xiwei seemed not to have heard the Demon King's words.
She carried Aoqian on her back; Aoqian was still gushing black blood.
Song Xiwei walked step by step, her steps heavy with worry.
With only two hours to spare, Aoqian, in his weakened state, simply couldn't withstand the teleportation array.
Whether it was intentional on the part of the Demon King or not, Song Xiwei and Aoqian had not gone far when they saw several burly men with extremely ugly appearances.
The burly men stared at Song Xiwei and Aoqian with an unsettling, even nauseating, glint in their eyes.
"You're having a great time carrying that guy on your back! His Majesty the Demon King said we can save him. Don't worry, just hand him over to us. We guarantee he'll be brought back to life in two hours!" The burly man stared at Ao Qian, swallowing hard.
Several burly men were also holding a number of strange tools.
Song Xiwei wanted Aoqian to be rescued, but she could never let Aoqian be easily handed over to others to be bullied.
The Demon King had calculated this perfectly; if she didn't allow Aoqian to be with these strong men, then Aoqian would be doomed.
Therefore, she had no other choice.
But that's not actually the case.
There is a third option.
But before she can make a third choice, she first needs to get rid of these burly men who are in her way.
Song Xiwei showed no mercy. She was not a formidable opponent to begin with; she appeared strong but was easily defeated.
