Now that Jiang Mengyue is on his side, he naturally won't stand idly by as before. However, his current strength is limited, and he's simply unable to intervene in a demigod-level battle, except...
"Wife!"
Whoosh!
A stunningly beautiful figure appeared in the arena and immediately launched an attack on Li Xinghe.
Although his wife couldn't hurt a demigod, she could disrupt Li Xinghe's offensive rhythm by constantly attacking him.
It is important to know that in a battle between masters, even the slightest mistake can have a huge impact. If Li Xinghe is affected for even a moment, it will be enough for Jiang Mengyue to gain the upper hand.
However, the next second Fang Xiu understood what it meant for things to go against his wishes.
Because after his wife appeared, the first person affected was not Li Xinghe, but Jiang Mengyue.
Jiang Mengyue froze on the spot, her beautiful eyes fixed on her wife, her gaze filled with astonishing jealousy and murderous intent.
She turned to look at Fang Xiu, her face filled with grief and indignation, tears welling in her eyes as if she had been abandoned by a heartless man. Pointing at his wife, she asked, "Who is she!"
Li Xinghe seized the opportunity and made a move instantly.
"Heavenly Demon Eye!"
The third eye on her forehead split open, and a beam of blood-red light pierced through the void, fiercely penetrating Jiang Mengyue's body.
However, even though Jiang Mengyue was seriously injured, her eyes were still fixed on Fang Xiu: "Why do you call her wife!"
Fang Xiu: "......."
What else could he do? He wanted to ask his wife for help, but she only made things worse. The only option now was to reopen the business.
......
......
Click!
The ice coffin shattered again, and Jiang Mengyue and Li Xinghe engaged in another fierce battle. This time, Fang Xiu did not help and simply watched quietly from the sidelines.
Actually, there was no need for much help at all, because Jiang Mengyue benefited from the Enlightenment Stone, and her recovery speed was faster than Li Xinghe's, giving her the upper hand.
Just as Jiang Mengyue was about to unleash the divine power she had comprehended through the Enlightenment Stone, the Moonless Heavenly Splendor, Fang Xiu spoke up to stop her: "Conserve your strength."
Although Jiang Mengyue didn't know why, she was now completely obedient to Fang Xiu, abandoning the use of the Moonless Heavenly Flower and instead engaging in a slow and steady battle.
"Fang Lang, are you worried about me?" Jiang Mengyue turned around and smiled at Fang Xiu during the battle.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly. That damned bitch dared to flirt during a fight. Love really does make people blind.
"Shut up! Focus on the fight!"
His idea was actually quite simple. He had seen in the future that even if Jiang Mengyue used the Moonless Heavenly Splendor, she wouldn't be able to kill Li Xinghe. So he decided to conserve his strength and wait for the real Moon Palace to appear, just in case.
In other words, the current battle is meaningless. As long as we stall for time until the Moon Palace appears and we obtain the divine status, the outcome will be decided.
Faced with Fang Xiu's cold words, Jiang Mengyue was not angry but pleased: "I knew you cared about me."
Fang Xiu: "......."
After a long while, Xu Ruohai appeared, looking completely disheveled.
At this moment, Li Xinghe seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist Xu, come and help me! This slut has fallen in love with a true god, and the two of them are now in cahoots."
Xu Ruohai was slightly taken aback. What was going on? Had he fallen in love with a true god? Was it really that casual?
"It's true. Fang Xiu used the Heavenly Marriage Stone on her. She now loves Fang Xiu so much that she's willing to die for him. I have a grudge against this bitch, and you want to kill Fang Xiu. If we don't join forces now, when will we?"
Fang Xiu's heart stirred slightly. As expected, an unexpected event occurred. The moment he used the Heavenly Dao Marriage Stone, the future was changed.
If Xu Ruohai and Li Xinghe join forces, then our side will undoubtedly lose, because if we don't consider our combat strength, it's equivalent to Jiang Mengyue fighting two against one, and we have no chance of winning at all. The only plan now is to stall until the Moon Palace appears. As long as Jiang Mengyue obtains the divine spark, we'll be safe.
Just as he was thinking about how to stall for time, he heard Jiang Mengyue coldly say, "Fall in love with a true god? Li Xinghe, do you think Fellow Daoist Xu is a fool, to fabricate such a clumsy lie."
"Leaving aside whether or not the Heavenly Marriage Stone exists, do you know that the prerequisite for using it is that I must develop feelings for this little beast? Do you think I would develop feelings for someone who slapped me dozens of times, stripped me of my clothes, and stole all my possessions? Hmph, I'm not that despicable."
Li Xinghe was stunned on the spot: "You...you didn't say that before. You clearly said that hitting you would highlight his uniqueness."
Jiang Mengyue sneered: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
She turned to look at Xu Ruohai: "Fellow Daoist Xu, don't be fooled by such a clumsy lie. This demon is clearly trying to trick you into attacking me so he can sit back and reap the benefits. Didn't you notice that he has been deliberately showing weakness all along?"
He and I were imprisoned in the ice coffin at the same time, and he was already stronger than me, yet now that he's broken free, I've been constantly beating him. Don't you find that strange?"
Xu Ruohai frowned as he looked at Li Xinghe, and said with slight anger, "Fellow Daoist Li, do you think I look like a fool?"
“You…I…” At this moment, Li Xinghe finally understood what it meant to be speechless and suffer in silence. He was telling the truth, so why did no one believe him?
“Fellow Daoist Xu, what I am saying is the truth, absolutely true.”
Xu Ruohai didn't believe it at all, because what Li Xinghe said was too absurd. What did he mean by feeling different after being slapped dozens of times? Listen to that, is that even human language?
"Fellow Daoist Li has gone too far. I am quite curious. You two entered the coffin at the same time and broke the seal at the same time. Moreover, you have been trying to influence Fellow Daoist Jiang's recovery with your words all this time. So why are you being suppressed by Fellow Daoist Jiang now? And you still say that you have no intention of reaping the benefits?"
Li Xinghe was extremely anxious. He didn't know why Jiang Mengyue was recovering faster than him. He had a vague answer in his mind, but he was too anxious because of the two of them and couldn't figure it out for the time being.
This time, unlike before, Jiang Mengyue did not use her self-created "Moonless Heavenly Splendor," so Li Xinghe did not immediately associate it with the Enlightenment Stone.
After all, the Enlightenment Stone is a legendary divine object; everyone has only heard of it, and no one has ever actually come into contact with it.
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Li, you should think carefully before lying next time," Xu Ruohai sneered.
Li Xinghe was also furious: "What I said is the truth!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Mengyue winked at Fang Xiu playfully.
Fang Xiu: "......."
He never expected that Jiang Mengyue was truly ruthless, so ruthless that she even cursed herself.
As expected, no one who can become a demigod as a woman is simple. Faced with the situation just now, she can lie without batting an eye and make it believable with reason and evidence. So much so that he was just now doubting whether the Heavenly Marriage Stone had actually worked and whether Jiang Mengyue had been acting all along.
"Whether what you are saying is true or false, I have no desire to get involved in your feud. My only target is the True God."
Xu Ruohai set his sights on Fang Xiu.
Jiang Mengyue's expression changed slightly, and she was extremely anxious. She would rather die herself than let Fang Xiu suffer even the slightest harm. Although she knew that Fang Xiu had the means to ignore attacks, as the saying goes, concern can cloud judgment.
