"good!"
With a single, resolute word, Jiang Yuan disarmed himself without hesitation and then threw out the Primordial Artifact.
He knew that by doing this he was cutting off his own escape route, but the Primordial Artifact had already formed a unique bond with him, and even if he lost it, no one else could use it.
Moreover, even without the binding, he would be willing to exchange the two women for the Primordial Sacred Artifact.
"And there's the Tide Sound Divine Skill!" the Abyss Ancestral Dragon continued confidently.
"good!"
Jiang Yuan directly stripped away all his insights from the Seven Chapters of Tide Sound, and a wave-like energy appeared before him.
With a wave of its hand, the Abyss Ancestral Dragon sent wave-like energy into its hand, which then transformed into a skill orb that it held in its palm.
"Also, the Gentleman's Sword was a gift from your loved one, right? I want to see it!" The Abyss Ancestral Dragon was still demanding more things.
Little did Jiang Yuan know that every time the Abyss Ancestral Dragon asked for something, it aroused his suspicion.
Take the God-Slaying Bow, for example. How many people know that its Primordial Artifact is called the God-Slaying Bow?
And then there's the Gentleman's Sword. How could a sea creature living in the deep sea possibly know its origins?
"Can."
Jiang Yuan threw out the Gentleman's Sword, expecting the Abyss Ancestral Dragon to collect it like the previous two items. However, when the Gentleman's Sword landed, the Abyss Ancestral Dragon disdainfully stepped on it without even glancing at it.
"I've already given them all my valuables, can you please let them go now!" Jiang Yuan said, clenching his fists and lowering his stance.
However, the Abyss Ancestral Dragon merely smiled disdainfully and said, "To be honest, your love is almost moving me to tears."
"What do you mean!" Jiang Yuan frowned.
"You may be touched, but you still only have to choose one of the two!"
The elusive Abyss Dragon laughed loudly, then raised its hand to annihilate An Xiaoyu's true spirit.
"What exactly do you want?!" Jiang Yuan roared.
"I'll help you make the choice. It's either one or the other anyway. You won't be in a difficult position if I kill one of them!" the Abyss Ancestral Dragon said with a hint of selfishness.
"Eight Gates, Ignite!"
Jiang Yuan decided to go all out and directly started burning the Eight Gates.
But when he burned the Eight Gates, the heavens and earth, rivers and lakes, wind and thunder, water and fire in this space all dissipated, and the burning momentum of the Eight Gates was forcibly stopped.
"I know your methods, so I set up a formation to sever the Eight Trigrams before you arrived." The Abyss Ancestral Dragon smiled happily, because it was now infinitely close to getting what it wanted.
If An Xiaoyu is killed, Jiang Yuan will stay, and it will have unlimited time to accompany Jiang Yuan.
As her true spirit dissipated into its last wisp, An Xiaoyu mustered all her strength to convey her final words: "Husband, Xiaoyu will stay by your side in the next life!"
She didn't expose the Abyss Ancestral Dragon's identity because she didn't want to put Jiang Yuan in a difficult position, and they also shared responsibility for Leng Yue's current predicament.
Rather than exposing Leng Yue's true colors, it would be better to let her help Jiang Yuan fight on the battlefield with her pure love for him. Compared to the Abyss Ancestral Dragon, the Heavenly Demon Body's role would not seem so important.
As An Xiaoyu's true spirit gradually dissipated, Jiang Yuan, whose Eight Gates Burning had failed, was filled with a soaring killing intent.
At the last moment, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and said, "Didn't you give me a choice? Fine, I choose!"
The entire room fell silent at those words. The Abyss Dragon's expression was complex, while the Dragon Girl in the distance seemed to be waiting for the same answer.
Whatever choice Jiang Yuan makes, it will be cruel, and the same goes for An Xiaoyu and Leng Yue.
But they all knew that this choice would affect the emotions of everyone present.
"You just want to make things difficult for me today. Fine, I'll grant your wish. Can I die? Just let them go!" Jiang Yuan shed his demonic form, released the Eight Gates, and completely gave up resisting.
He couldn't make such a cruel choice. An Xiaoyu had always waited for him, pouring her heart out to him. Leng Yue had died for him once in Nancheng, and afterwards, she had risked her life alongside him again. He valued their lives more than his own!
"If you want to die, then I'll kill both of them first, and then I'll kill you with my own hands!"
The Abyss Dragon, as if possessed, was about to annihilate the two women inside the clam.
"An Xiaoyu, I choose An Xiaoyu!"
On the verge of collapse, Jiang Yuan shouted out three words: he had no choice but to let An Xiaoyu live.
When An Xiaoyu's name was mentioned, the Abyss Ancestral Dragon's body stiffened, and it stood on the seabed as if it had lost its soul.
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Why must I die again when I've already died for you once!"
The Abyss Ancestral Dragon's body trembled, and even the abyssal energy surrounding her was extremely unstable. She had considered this outcome, but when she actually heard Jiang Yuan's answer, she still couldn't help but feel afraid.
She lost the person she loved most, and she also lost the chance to climb out of the abyss.
"Send An Xiaoyu away from the Land of Desolation."
As if all his strength had been drained, Jiang Yuan weakly uttered his last condition.
The Abyss Ancestral Dragon remained silent until Jiang Yuan spoke, at which point it nodded absently, "Okay."
"Husband, no!"
An Xiaoyu tried her best to convey the message, but was teleported out of the Sea of Annihilation by a force.
She knew very well that her husband's best choice was Leng Yue. If he chose Leng Yue, everything would be simple. Leng Yue would not fall into the abyss, and she would love her husband even more than she did.
However, the worst thing he could have done was choose himself. That would not only have destroyed Leng Yue, who had only a sliver of hope left, but would also have brought Jiang Yuan to his doom.
“I’ve sent her away. Now, let’s kill another woman who’s irrelevant to you!”
The Abyss Ancestral Dragon's tone was icy. Her last hope had been shattered. Now, as long as she killed her infatuated self, she would fall into the abyss and become the heartless and desireless demon of the abyss.
