Chapter 1845 [Shangxie] Half of the Antidote
This look was extremely complicated, full of the expectation of being stopped, but in the end the man didn't even look at him, but just glanced coldly at the jade bottle in the hand of the secret guard.
Lian Tang had no choice but to grit his teeth and throw the thing in his hand towards the secret guard. At the same time, Li Chi raised his hand to catch the jade bottle thrown by the secret guard.
The secret guard took the military token, looked down at it, and then raised his head and said,
"That bottle contains the antidote to the red frost, but only half of it."
Li Chi, who was looking down at the bottle, paused. Lian Tang's eyes widened instantly. The next moment, he drew his sword and pointed it at the secret guard, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger.
"Say it again!"
"That bottle only contains half the antidote for Red Frost,"
The secret guard really repeated it. He turned to face Li Chi and continued mechanically and coldly,
"If you want Xia Fuyi to truly survive, you must leave her and return to Chiwei Country. Once you leave, someone from our team will come to take Xia Fuyi back to Tianji Sect to detoxify her."
"From now on, you don't have to meet each other again."
Thunder roared one after another above the ruined temple, lightning plowed out thousands of crisscrossing furrows in the dark night sky, and the pale lightning illuminated Li Chi's expression at the moment.
Dark, bloodthirsty, and expressionless, mixed with darkness and despair.
He looked at the secret guard calmly with a pale face, while Lian Tang beside him was completely furious.
"You're looking for death!"
There was a sound of a sword blade breaking through the wind, and the violent sword energy instantly struck the secret guard like thunderbolt. However, just as the sword was about to reach the secret guard, a cold voice stopped him.
"That's enough."
Lian Tang gritted his teeth and retracted his sword almost tremblingly. He turned to look at Li Chi, but the man didn't look at him.
He lowered his head and looked at Xia Fuyi in his arms.
The killer who had always been cold and fierce since their first meeting was now curled up in his arms, her black eyelashes drooping under her pale eyelids. A little moisture condensed on her eyes, perhaps from the cold or the pain. Against her bloodstained red lips and mottled blood-stained clothes, she appeared for the first time in the dim night, as fragile and vulnerable as if she was about to die.
——She is indeed about to die if there is no antidote.
Li Chi looked at the person in his arms silently for a moment, and without raising his head, he uttered a word.
"good."
His calm voice only served to highlight Lian Tang's astonishment and anger.
But Lian Tang said nothing in the end. He just gritted his teeth and stood beside the man.
Li Chi finally raised his head and glanced at the secret guard. This look was without any emotion. It was as if his calm eyes were looking at a dead person illuminated by the light of lightning. Even the secret guard who was used to seeing life and death couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
But Li Chi did nothing, just said lightly,
"I'll leave tomorrow morning, so go ahead."
The secret guard looked at him with some concern, then looked at the person in his arms, and finally said,
"It's best to give her half of the antidote tonight. It should be just enough to last until we can get her back to Tianji Gate."
Thunder roared in the wilderness like the howling of a wild beast, and the secret guard turned around and disappeared in the wind and rain.
Inside the dilapidated temple, Lian Tang couldn't help but call out "Young Master" with disapproval.
Li Chi still ignored him.
The light and shadow intertwined into an extremely dim curtain, covering the man's eyes as he looked down at the girl.
It was a calmness and concentration that I had never experienced before, and it was also the only tenderness left in this life.
