Chapter 1096 I Promise
Even though he already knew the purpose of this person's invitation to come here, Feng Tianyu's expression still changed inevitably when he heard him say those words, and his gaze towards him became even colder.
Ye Wanxi wasn't surprised at all: "I'll give you my life, and you'll let him go?"
Feng Tianyu's expression darkened slightly, and the smile on his dark face faded a little: "Of course."
"What if I die and you still won't let me go?"
Ye Wanxi's words seemed to indirectly confirm his guess. He sneered, his tone laced with sarcasm, "You seem to have forgotten that the child is in my hands now, and the initiative is mine. What I say goes, and you have no room for negotiation. Worrying about this and that is nothing more than trying to shirk responsibility and avoid risking your life for another's. You people are the most hypocritical; you speak so righteously, but in reality, you're more afraid of death than anyone else. Since that's the case..."
As Wu spoke, he suddenly looked down at the child in his arms, a strange smile spreading across his face.
The two, one big and one small, stood far away at the edge of the rooftop. The cold wind whipped at his clothes, making him look as if he and the child could be taken away at any moment.
Seeing this scene, Ye Wanxi's heart tightened. She knew very well that with the cold-bloodedness of the person in front of her, it was entirely possible that he would throw the child off the building.
"Wait," Ye Wanxi suddenly called out to Wu, "I agree to your conditions."
"Yuanyuan!"
Wu Shuang's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, Ye Wanxi added, "But I have a condition."
Wu's expression immediately changed: "What are the conditions?"
“You can take my life if you bring me the child here, I won’t resist.”
Wu frowned, seemingly considering the feasibility of Ye Wanxi's suggestion.
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes and simply smiled, asking in return, "You dare not?"
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Wu seemed to have been waiting for her to say this. His gaze swept over Feng Tianyu, whose face was ashen. “But don’t blame me for not saying this upfront. I only want your life, but if any of you make a rash move, I don’t mind taking a few more people with me. You are powerful enough not to be afraid…”
Ye Wanxi and the other woman could easily sense his threat. Their eyes narrowed slightly, and they said nothing more, only staring at his graceful figure as he walked towards them.
At that time, Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu were no longer standing side by side as they had initially. They were now about five meters apart, and together with Wu, they formed a triangle.
Just as Wu stepped into this triangular distance, Fengtian Domain suddenly moved.
His target was Wu's heart; barring any unforeseen circumstances, his sword would pierce Wu's back from behind, heading straight for his heart.
But things couldn't go so smoothly. The moment Feng Tianyu moved, four black figures suddenly flew out from around the rooftop and stopped him before Feng Tianyu could get close to Wu.
Hearing the commotion beside him, Wu's face was full of triumphant smiles: "I told you not to make any rash moves, it seems you didn't listen at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand, which was as withered as a twig, suddenly curled into a claw and reached for the child's chest. Ye Wanxi was only a few meters away from him.
Even so, it's not easy to rush at him head-on and stop him.
Wu had anticipated this, and from the very beginning, he had no intention of sparing the child's life.
On the contrary, the reason he allowed the child to live until now was so that Ye Wanxi could see the child's blood splattered on the spot and witness a little life being cut short because of her.
Thinking of Ye Wanxi's expression afterward, Wu's face couldn't help but reveal a twisted expression of pleasure and madness.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the child, something suddenly bound his hands, preventing his fingers from moving forward even an inch.
"When?" Wu's smile suddenly froze as he looked in surprise at the two black ribbons tightly wrapped around his elbow.
The two ribbons extended backward, not forward; they came up from under the roof!
Ye Wanxi had been waiting for this moment for so long.
The moment the black satin bound Wu, she moved her hands slightly, and two long satins of the same material flew out and wrapped around the child in Wu's arms.
Taking advantage of the other party's momentary daze, he pulled hard, and the child who was originally being held tightly in Wu's arms flew out of his arms and was taken into Ye Wanxi's arms by Ye Wanxi, who rushed to his side not far away.
At the same time, Wu came to his senses and struggled to break free of the black ribbons binding him. Feng Tianyu also shook off the four men in black who were holding him down and rushed towards Wu with his sword.
With a loud clang, Fengtianyu's longsword slammed into the barrier that Wu used to protect himself.
In an instant, sword energy overflowed, and golden light spread outwards in ripples, stirring up billowing dust on the rooftop.
The protective barrier around Wu also developed fine cracks in an instant, and shattered completely in less than three seconds.
Upon seeing this, several men in black rushed to protect their master, and in an instant, they were locked in a fierce battle within the Sealed Heaven Domain.
Two of them even approached Ye Wanxi, but Ye Wanxi caught the child and immediately cast a protective talisman on him.
Originally trapped in a nightmare, with red eyes like a child who might cry at any moment, she seemed to feel warmth and reassurance. Her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her face was no longer as pale as before.
Ye Wanxi breathed a slight sigh of relief, her eyes darkening as she watched the two men in black, who seemed to have ill intentions, hurtling towards her like cannonballs.
Holding the child in one arm, with her other hand slightly open, the few black ribbons that had played a decisive role tightened instantly, twisted into a rope shape, and flew into her palm, transforming in the blink of an eye into a long sword with intricate patterns.
These few men in black who suddenly appeared were slightly less capable than the leaders in black who appeared when Wu Yequan was resurrected.
However, the yin energy on their bodies was in no way inferior to that of those thousand-year-old vengeful ghosts, and because these guys were all demonic cultivators, in addition to yin energy and demonic energy, their bodies also surged with blood energy that could not be ignored.
This clearly shows that in order to cultivate to their current level, these people have directly or indirectly caused the deaths of many others.
Ye Wanxi naturally had no need to show mercy to such a person.
The longsword in his hand condensed sword energy and drew a simple explosive array before the two people got close. As soon as the two people approached, they were blocked by the close-range explosion.
Such a small explosion naturally wouldn't hurt them, but it bought Ye Wanxi some time.
She tossed the longsword in her hand into the air, and it instantly split into nine swords, which floated in the air and converged into a circular sword flower.
After a brief pause, it seemed to consciously move towards the two men in black.
Unlike the previous explosive sword formation, these longswords are all wrapped in golden merit power, making them a nemesis for demonic cultivators!
