Duanmu Rui laughed loudly towards the sky. In his eyes, Li Xiao had undoubtedly become a dead man long ago.
And who can protect the person he truly wants to kill, even in the vast universe?
Li Xiao frowned as he watched the performance of this master and disciple. It seemed that strength was justice in this world. At this moment, they were in great glory, standing in the center of the sun, while he had become a villain standing in the shadows.
"You, forget it!"
Li Xiao still wanted to attack Duanmu Rui with words, but he also understood that the other party's heart of Taoism was not something that he could shake with his current strength.
"You shameless old dog, why don't you take action?"
Li Xiao sneered, and a ball of faint black flame quietly emerged from his body, adorning his entire body like a fire god.
"Oh? In this world, there are still people who dare to scold me? Haha, how funny! It really is true that ignorance is fearless!"
Duanmu Rui was obviously surprised, and then he couldn't help laughing.
From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time that Duanmu Rui had been scolded by someone, which made him feel very novel.
"No! Master Sword Saint, please stop!"
The laughter shook the heavens and the earth. Although the main purpose was to disperse Li Xiao's protective divine fire, the people around him were affected and were the first to be unable to bear it.
They were impacted by the sound waves and lost their sense of position, lying on the ground in a mess.
Those who are strong enough vomit wildly, while those who are not strong enough spit out blood.
"Ha ha!"
Duanmu Rui laughed loudly towards the sky. He was no longer the same person as before. He no longer cared whether these small fry here were dead or alive.
Looking at his carefree and unrestrained look, Li Sheng frowned slightly.
But since a son does not speak of his father's faults, he naturally will not say too much.
"boom!"
The flames on Li Xiao's body naturally would not dissipate, but suddenly surged. The sea of fire more than ten feet thick protected him. Crackling sounds were heard in the blazing sea of fire, which actually blocked out Duanmu Rui's voice.
"What a terrifying Nine Flames Divine Fire!"
Duanmu Rui suddenly stopped smiling. He looked at Li Xiao coldly, then stretched out his hand and grabbed in the space in front of him.
He captured the water vapor in the air and instantly condensed it into an ice sword.
"In the past twenty years, you are the first person who lets me use a sword."
Duanmu Rui sneered, and then his body suddenly collapsed, and a sword had pierced Li Xiao's heart!
This sword was so fast that Li Xiao had no time to react.
Even though the Nine Flames Divine Fire covered the surroundings, Li Xiao did not feel any protection when facing Duanmu Rui's attack, as if they did not exist at all.
"Is this the mighty Saint? Even if I have many trump cards, I'm still vulnerable!"
Li Xiao felt sad. He didn't expect that his journey would be cut off just when he started.
Yes, he is shouldering the mission of killing the Son of Destiny, so how could his luck be good?
Li Xiao's body slowly fell down, and the ground was immediately filled with his blood. His heart was broken and his chest exploded. Such injuries could not stop the bleeding at all.
"Go! Go and kill this man with your own hands! He's just a prince of the Nine Flame Dynasty. I don't think anyone dares to say anything!"
Duanmu Rui looked at Li Xiao lying in a pool of blood and snorted in disdain.
He actually held back on this strike!
"yes!"
Li Sheng didn't expect that Duanmu Rui would actually do this. He took a deep breath and agreed decisively.
This is also good. After all, Li Xiao is a prince of the royal family. It is better for him to die in his own hands than to die in the hands of outsiders.
“Swish!”
The sword flashed. In order to express his respect for Li Xiao, even when facing a dying man who had no power to resist, Li Sheng still chose to attack with all his strength!
"puff!"
Blood splashed up, and the sharp sword pierced into the delicate skin, but stopped halfway.
"Mother!"
Li Sheng was stunned to see that the only emperor and empress of the Jiuyan Dynasty suddenly appeared in front of Li Xiao and took the sword for him.
The sharp sword tip, at least half a foot long, completely penetrated the body of the suddenly appearing, beautiful woman, but she showed a happy smile.
"The Emperor said that for some unknown reason, the dynasty's fortune was being rapidly devoured. I knew you were engaged in a fierce battle."
"I didn't expect that the enemy you want to kill is really Li Xiao."
The emperor and empress were filled with relief, thankful that they had arrived in time and rescued Li Xiao.
"You evil creature! Are you going to kill your mother?"
Before Li Sheng could react, an angry roar suddenly sounded in the sky.
In fact, Li Sheng does not have a close relationship with his biological mother.
Otherwise, he would not have sold his mother for Duanmu Rui.
From childhood to adulthood, it was the woman in front of him who raised him personally.
Because the other party is Emperor Jiuyan, the only woman he truly cares about, and his favor to her far exceeds that to others.
And Li Sheng was so outstanding, so the emperor ordered this woman to raise him.
This woman is also a legend. She is nominally the empress, but everyone knows that she has no relationship with the emperor.
The emperor conferred the title on her only to prevent others from being disrespectful to her.
For twenty years, this woman has never come out. She has been hiding alone in the depths of the palace, guarding a dead tomb and praying silently for it.
"Son, I dare not!"
Li Sheng sighed in his heart, loosened the sword in his hand, and knelt down in embarrassment.
Perhaps, Duanmu Rui no longer takes the Jiuyan royal family seriously, but Li Sheng naturally cannot do that.
"Duanmu Rui! What are you going to do? Do you want to destroy the entire imperial city?"
A huge shadow slowly emerged in the sky. It was not the emperor's real body, but only a projection of his soul.
No one knows what realm the Nine Flames Emperor is at.
All we know is that as the master of the Jiuyan Dynasty, he has too many secrets and trump cards.
Just like Li Sheng, he also received an infusion of endless resources, but those inheritances that belonged exclusively to the emperor of the dynasty had not yet been handed over to him.
"Are you saying that he really has the ability to unleash the true power of the Nine Flames Divine Fire?"
Duanmu Rui frowned as he looked at the shadow. He no longer needed to be polite to the other party.
Emperor Jiuyan would not use his status to oppress him, but could only reason with him.
"Can't you feel it yourself? Perhaps, with your strength, you can ignore this catastrophe, but what about others?"
Emperor Jiuyan was aggressive, but Duanmu Rui remained silent.
He really wanted to say, what does other people’s life and death have to do with me?
But the problem is, there are too many living beings in Jiuyan Imperial City!
