People present at the scene would not be so naive as to think that the wound on Yan Baibai's lip was caused by biting the candied haws.
Lu Wuxiu, Song Yu, and Xiao Changhen were not like the other four members of the Yanjian Sect team, who thought that "Yan Li" was Yan Baibai's elder, but they never imagined that this guy would do such a thing to Yan Baibai right outside the box.
He kissed her, just outside the box a hundred steps away from everyone.
Xiao Changhen narrowed his eyes, opened and twirled his empty hand, and a thick black mist appeared on his palm. He waved his hand lightly, and the black mist in his hand immediately flew quickly towards Mo Li.
Everything happened very quickly. Yan Baibai only felt a gust of wind blowing behind her, blowing her hair away.
Looking at the rapidly approaching black fog, Mo Li's eyes did not change. He actually raised his empty hand as if to catch the black fog.
Seeing this, Xiao Changhen's lips curled up. The black fog was a dense aura of death, corroding any living thing it encountered. Even if the opponent's cultivation was comparable to his own, even if the hand could be saved, it would still be severely damaged.
However, when the black mist approached Mo Li's hand, it not only did not hurt the hand at all, but also quickly disappeared in Mo Li's palm.
Xiao Changhen knew that the other party would not be able to not take any precautions. Because he took the safety of the restaurant into consideration, the moves he used were not difficult to break.
In a situation like the one just now, the best approach was to dodge sideways, but be sure to let go of Yan Baibai's hand. However, the opponent chose to reach out and take it. If one wanted to avert the danger, one would need an extremely powerful purification technique to counteract the deadly energy, or tear open a spatial crack in the palm of one's hand to absorb the deadly energy.
Judging from the disappearance of the death energy, the other party had obviously used the latter method. This was not surprising. In this situation, how could the other party let go of Yan Baibai's hand?
The strange thing is that the death energy was so close to Mo Li's palm before it disappeared, but his hand was not hurt at all!
Because he practiced the ghost way, Xiao Changhen was well aware of the power of the death energy he released. Although it was not invincible, it was definitely a dangerous thing for a cultivator.
After all, when the passage between the demon world and the immortal world had not yet been opened, they, the ghost cultivators, were called demon cultivators, just like the "black" between black and white. But since the appearance of the demons in the demon world, ghost cultivators can only be ghost cultivators. After all, ghost cultivators are also human beings.
It is because we are all human beings, so in the long history of human beings fighting against demons, ghost cultivators are no longer the targets of the "righteous path".
However, the source of power cultivated by ghost cultivators and the source of power cultivated by Taoist cultivators are inherently mutually exclusive, just like black and white, fire and water.
Therefore, Mo Li could dissolve the death energy, but it was impossible for him to remain unharmed, unless the other party was a ghost cultivator like him. Obviously, the other party was not!
It only took Xiao Changhen a moment to think of this. He did not continue to attack, but instead looked at Mo Li seriously again.
He's not a ghost cultivator, nor can he be a Taoist cultivator, so the only thing left is...
But, is that possible?
Five hundred years ago, the immortal cultivation world joined forces to seal all the demons in the Demon Sea. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, they would only be small fish, definitely not the big fish in front of them!
The more Xiao Changhen thought about it, the more confused he became, but the people present were not so considerate as to stand still and give him time to think.
In the short period of time between Xiao Changhen releasing the death energy and Mo Li dissolving it, the most nervous person might not be anyone present. To be honest, Lu Wuxiu and Song Yu, who were standing nearby, saw the whole process because of their positions, but their age and experience were there. Although they could see the danger of the black fog, they did not have a clear understanding of its degree of danger.
Thus, a situation was created where the most tense people during this short period of fighting were Xi Yan and the system.
Although the system does not need to breathe, after seeing the death energy being lifted, it felt like a person trapped in water emerging from the water, and it felt alive.
"Host... Host!" The system let out a long breath, then tremblingly said, "Just now, something big happened."
"What?" Yan Baibai was troubled by her current situation, but she also knew that the system was not talking about her current situation...
Yan Baibai didn't understand what could be more important than solving her current situation.
Therefore, the system immediately and quickly told Yan Baibai the seriousness of the matter.
In short, in the few moments she was still fretting over how to handle her situation, Xiao Changhen and Mo Li had already engaged in a round of battle. The key point was that the death energy Xiao Changhen had released was incredibly powerful. If Mo Li had dispersed it instead of absorbing it, the death energy would have spread, eroding all of Xuancheng's life.
"Host, this quest protagonist surnamed Xiao is really messing around," the system said angrily. "If Mo Li wasn't a demon, his hands would have been corroded to the point where only bones were left."
"Xiao Changhen's audacity to release the death energy proves he's confident in controlling it. Is the system overly worried?" Yan Baibai said this before quickly realizing something. He seriously asked the system, "System, you seem to prefer Mo Li to Xiao Changhen?"
"Hmm?" The system was just reflecting on itself because of Yan Baibai's first sentence, and then it was confused by Yan Baibai's second sentence.
As a bystander, the system actually knows more about the situation than Yan Baibai.
The first male protagonist its host came into contact with was Lu Wuxiu, then Song Yu, and then Mo Li and Xiao Changhen.
When the clone Mo Li and Yan Baibai were getting along, the system was very clear that the reason why the two could get along so harmoniously was not just because of the "Life and Death Bond" talisman.
