With the enhancement of Ouyang Ningxue's spiritual energy, the steel bars could easily penetrate the defenses of a third-tier spiritual energy user. If this barrage of attacks were to fall, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Qian...Qian Li, does your brother have some kind of prejudice against Ouyang Ningxue?" Fu Yu felt like she was getting to know Li Xuanzu all over again, and seeing yet another unknown side of his personality.
"Probably not, otherwise they wouldn't have given her a third-tier spirit core and then made her a fourth-tier psionicist." Qian Li denied it without even thinking.
“In my brother’s eyes, she is at most a good piece of stone, which can be used to sharpen knives when there is nothing to do. He is a man who puts profit first. If you want to follow him, you just have to not touch his interests.” Qian Li was young, but she was not stupid. She was the first person to see through Li Xuanzu.
A child like that can't possibly be stupid.
Li Xuanzu doesn't dislike intelligent people, which is why Qian Li is able to thrive by his side.
But she doesn't like people who think they're clever, like the little girl who gave him the doll before. She's definitely smart and knows what she can gain by following Li Xuanzu.
But her ulterior motives are too obvious, so Li Xuanzu won't want her.
Qian Li knows everything, but she rarely talks to Li Xuanzu. Most of the time, she does what Li Xuanzu says.
She knew what Li Xuanzu wanted to see and what he needed.
A knife with its own thoughts, and absolutely loyal.
Fu Yu had always thought that Qian Li was just an ordinary little girl who was favored by Li Xuanzu. Upon hearing this, she didn't even know how to respond.
"Don't overthink it. Since my brother chose you, it means you won't pose a threat to him in the short term, and he's willing to invest enough in you. Don't think about rebelling against him. I like you quite a bit."
Qian Li's words implied that if Fu Yu really wanted to rebel against Li Xuanzu, she would take action.
Qian Li doesn't care whether others like her or not. Li Xuanzu saved her life, and that's the reason why no one can turn her against her.
While the two were talking, the battle between Li Xuanzu and Ouyang Ningxue also came to a conclusion.
The silver spear, stained with blood, lay discarded to the side. Li Xuanzu's abdomen and right lung were each pierced by a steel bar, with undried blood still dripping from it, forming a red column of blood.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Li Xuanzu's left arm was missing, with the bone exposed to the outside world.
Ouyang Ningxue collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. Her eyes gazed at the sky with a sense of relief, yet a hint of resentment lingered in them.
“Li...Li Xuanzu...you really...are a...monster…” After saying this, Ouyang Ningxue closed her eyes and fainted.
"It seems... the strength of a fourth-tier expert hasn't exceeded my expectations, hehe... cough cough cough!" Li Xuanzu broke and pulled out the two steel bars without changing his expression.
However, the fact that his lung was punctured still caused him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood.
The severed left arm is slowly recovering.
The immense exertion left Li Xuanzu lying on the ground, gasping for air.
"Sister Fu Yu, could you go and settle them in?" Qian Li frowned, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Li Xuanzu.
[Host, you'd better not be courting death.]
The system detected Liang Lezhan's attempt to take advantage of the situation and intervened.
"Tsk, you're afraid of Li Xuanzu, but now he's seriously injured and his energy is depleted, and you're still stopping me?" Liang Lezhan questioned the system, suppressing his anger.
Okay, then go ahead.
This time, the system unexpectedly did not stop Liang Lezhan again, but instead let him have his way.
This action, however, made Liang Lezhan somewhat undecided, unsure whether or not to take action.
"I know what you're thinking. You'd better not be courting death." Qian Li's voice rang out not far from Liang Lezhan. Five huge vortexes appeared from Liang Lezhan's front, back, left, right and above, blocking his path.
"Or you can try and see if your few Tier 3 zombies are enough for me to kill."
Liang Lezhan was shocked and frightened by Qian Li's appearance. Seeing that the suction force of the vortex around him was getting stronger and stronger, Liang Lezhan tried to run away, but found that he could not break free at all.
"No, no, no! I've been cooperating with Li Xuanzu so well, I have no reason to betray him at this time. Stop it!" Liang Lezhan was surrounded by a vortex, his mind felt like it had been stabbed by a sharp knife and was being churned wildly.
"Hmph, you'd better put away your ridiculous ideas. I could crush you without even needing my brother's help." Qian Li withdrew her spiritual energy after the intimidation had worked.
But she didn't let her guard down and kept her eyes fixed on Liang Lezhan.
[Oh my, so you're listening to me this time? No more showing off? No more seeking revenge on Li Xuanzu? You're really scared of a little girl like her?]
The system timed it perfectly, and then promptly uttered a couple of sarcastic remarks.
It has been discovered that Liang Lezhan is a scoundrel; he always does the opposite of what you ask him to do.
Liang Lezhan's face was extremely dark, but he couldn't find any words to refute it.
