Chapter 86: The Self-Inflicted Tactics The Self-Inflicted Tactics work well, huh? Brother Jing? I...
The old man shouted to the front: "Hey, you little rascal, I've stopped the people for you, you better take care of yourself. If you can't coax your wife well, this old man won't help you catch people next time!!!" His voice echoed in the forest, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mu Xingchen closed her eyes, looked at the barrier behind her, and asked seriously, "Xiao Qi, can you see if this barrier can be broken?"
Xiao Qi was silent for two seconds, then said, "The center of the formation is moving..."
Mu Xingchen pounded the tree trunk hard and gritted his teeth, "Damn it, Li Jing!!!"
You do things to the extreme, right?
The next second, a slightly cold voice came from the front: "Do you hate me so much?"
Mu Xingchen turned around and instantly saw his massive, pitch-black snake tail. Her face paled. She unconsciously took two steps back and gritted her teeth, "You have no moral integrity, yet you're still asking for help!"
Li Jing scoffed and said, "What about you? What morals do you have as a liar?"
Mu Xingchen was suddenly speechless.
Seeing Li Jing approaching step by step, Mu Xingchen retreated step by step, but there was no place to retreat.
"Don't come over here!!!"
The center of the formation is Li Jing. If she wants to break the formation, the only way is to kill Li Jing.
"Don't force me." Mu Xingchen said with red eyes.
Looking at Mu Xingchen's eyes full of fear and disgust, Li Jing felt a sharp pain in his heart. Didn't they say that the pain would go away after taking the antidote?
"What you gave me was a fake antidote." He said in a low voice, "Where is the real antidote?" His voice was trembling, angry, and even had a hint of invisible murderous intent.
Mu Xingchen was stunned. "That's true..." Suddenly she froze, "You...you wouldn't still like me after taking the antidote???"
Her pupils widened as she looked at Li Jing in disbelief.
"Puff!" Li Jing spat out a mouthful of blood. He half-knelt on the ground, his arched back trembling slightly.
Mu Xingchen's smile faded, his eyes narrowing. The poison had taken effect. Having lost half his demon spirit and been poisoned, he had forced his spiritual energy to work, causing damage to his heart meridians and premature poisoning.
"Are you okay?" she asked with a frown.
Li Jing lowered his head and did not answer her. Blood from the corner of his mouth dripped down his chin.
Mu Xingchen wanted to take a step forward, but was frightened when he saw his big black tail.
"Can you... still transform into a human form?"
"Why, are you afraid of me?" Li Jing raised his head, his eyes red and asked her in a hoarse voice.
Before she could answer, the next second, "Puff!" he fell straight to the ground.
Mu Xingchen's pupils narrowed as she looked at the barrier. The barrier had become weaker at this moment. She could break out if she forced her way in, but...
But he will only get more hurt and may even die prematurely from the poison.
Xiao Qi asked excitedly, "Are you going to leave? Or are you going to save someone?"
Mu Xingchen looked at Li Jing lying in a pool of blood. She clenched her hands tightly. At this moment, the demon spirit in her body seemed to sense the danger of her other half and was running wildly inside her body. They were pointing in the same direction, which was the direction where Li Jing fell.
She covered her chest uncomfortably, and cold sweat began to appear on her forehead.
Mu Xingchen gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, don't move."
She owed him.
Mu Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart and walked towards him step by step.
Xiao Qi was shocked: "Mu Xingchen, you are not afraid of snakes anymore???"
"Afraid!" But when she saw Li Jing's face, she felt better.
She inched closer to him little by little until she was only a foot away from his pitch-black tail.
Mu Xingchen's lips were a little pale at this moment. She squinted her eyes, took a few breaths, and slowly squatted down.
She turned her head to avoid looking at his tail, then groped for his right hand and took his pulse.
In an instant, Mu Xingchen's expression changed.
The next second, Li Jing's dark red pupils opened, and by the time she reacted, cold fingers had already pinched her neck.
Mu Xingchen was forced to lower her head and look at him. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "You lied to me? A self-torture trick?"
Li Jing's hand tightened slightly, and he asked in a raspy voice, "Does it feel good to be cheated?"
Mu Xingchen's eyes darkened: "It's okay, as long as you are happy."
Li Jing's fingers paused, and he raised the corners of his lips as if pleased by these words. He gently stroked the veins on her neck. Then he leaned his head close to her ear and asked softly, "Do you really think I can't bear to kill you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, murderous intent filled the air.
Mu Xingchen's ears felt itchy as if ants were crawling. In an instant, her face turned pale and her whole body stiffened.
She lowered her head and saw Li Jing's pitch-black tail wrapping around her body inch by inch, tightening inch by inch until she was completely engulfed by him.
If the scales on her tail opened even slightly, she would be strangled to pieces.
Mu Xingchen's face turned pale as she closed her eyes. She breathed rapidly and said, "Li Jing, don't joke around. Let go first and then talk properly."
Li Jing hooked his arm around her neck, still unsatisfied, and whispered, "Open your eyes."
This kind of gentle tone was common in the past, but now it was accompanied by a sense of unclear undercurrent, like a vine that was getting closer and closer and then looking for an opportunity to strangle and kill.
His tail tightened more and more until Mu Xingchen was a little breathless. She could now feel the hard scales on his body through her clothes.
Cold sweat dripped down Mu Xingchen's forehead. She slowly opened her eyes, but felt a greasy and nauseous feeling in her stomach.
She smiled grimly: "Brother Jing, let me go."
Li Jing's body stiffened when these three words were shouted out.
"Shut! Up!" he said coldly.
He moved slightly, and the tail wrapped around him tighter.
"Hmm~" Mu Xingchen cried out in pain. She put her head close to his neck and said coquettishly, "It hurts, Brother Jing."
Li Jing's eyes trembled slightly: "Do you think I am still the same Li Jing as before? Mu Xingchen, do you still remember what I said?"
Mu Xingchen's eyes darkened.
Li Jing grabbed her by the back of the neck and made her look at his snake tail: "Hmm?"
When Mu Xingchen saw the snake tail wrapped around her body, she couldn't help but retching, and her face turned terribly pale.
She said weakly, "I'll say it again, let! me! go!"
Li Jing's expression was even uglier than hers. He asked with a dark look in his eyes, "You disgust me so much, huh?" As he spoke, his snake tail trembled even tighter. He almost wanted to melt her into his bones. His cold breath approached her ear, and he threatened her word by word, "Since you hate and fear this snake tail, then I will cling to you like this day and night from now on, making it impossible for you to live or die."
Mu Xingchen was breathing heavily, and she suddenly laughed, a very strange laugh.
"Don't you just hate me for lying to you? I'll pay you back."
She pressed her right wrist against his scales and exerted a little force. With a "swish", a large amount of blood suddenly flowed out of her entire wrist.
Li Jing's pupils shrank suddenly. He quickly retracted his scales and let her go. He growled coldly, "Mu Xingchen!"
The next second, he looked at Mu Xingchen in disbelief.
Mu Xingchen half-knelt on the ground and adjusted his breathing.
Li Jing slowly lowered his head and looked at the silver hairpin on his chest, "Heh." He laughed out loud, his voice terribly low and hoarse.
Mu Xingchen propped herself up with trembling fingers. She raised her head and leaned close to his body, whispering in his ear, "I told you to let me go, but you refused to listen. How come you don't know now that you're a demon king? Once someone falls into your hands, don't be soft-hearted, or you'll be deceived like I was just now. Does the self-torture trick work? Yeah, Brother Jing? I've learned it well, right?"
She raised her hand in front of him, revealing the deep bloodstains on her palm. She smiled helplessly and said, "A wound makes you nervous. How did you win me over? You said I gave you the antidote to the love poison, why are you still so stupid!"
Mu Xingchen grabbed his neck and said madly, "Huh? You like me? You still like me after being betrayed? What on earth is there about me that is worthy of your love? Or are you stupid? How did you get to this position? Was it just luck?" Her pupils rolled and she said sarcastically, "If I were you, I would have dug out the demon spirit the moment I grabbed me. At least with the demon spirit in you, you can still withstand the poison."
She patted Li Jing's face gently and said with a smile: "Also, I haven't told you that the thing I hate most in my life is snakes, and the most disgusting thing is also snakes, so don't even think about it. If you insist on pestering me, you will be the one to die!" There was only endless cruelty in her eyes at this moment.
The next second, Mu Xingchen shoved him straight in the face.
Li Jing tilted his head, his left cheek stained with the blood from her hand, looking strangely gorgeous at the moment.
Mu Xingchen stared at the face intently. She really liked his face and was attracted by his soul countless times, but unfortunately, he was a snake.
She stood up and looked down at him, her pupils cold as she said, "If you were a human, I would take you away today and carry out my plan to imprison you, but you are not."
Mu Xingchen turned his head to look at the barrier and said coldly: "Untie the barrier, or I will kill you."
"Hehehehehehehehe..." A low and terrifying laugh came from below, and the white strands of Li Jing's hair flew around in the air.
Mu Xingchen turned her head to look at him. At that moment, she felt an uncontrollable pain in her heart, and she even ignored his snake tail at this moment.
What a beautiful picture, what a perfect battle-damaged face.
He looked at her with a bloody face and a hateful expression, like a gorgeous ghost, captivating everyone.
Like, they are so alike.
Mu Xingchen was distracted for a moment.
She took two steps back and suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
"Puff!" He pulled out the hairpin and blood splattered directly onto Mu Xingchen's face.
Mu Xingchen closed his eyes subconsciously.
Warm.
bloody.
Li Jing!
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
Li Jing slowly stood up from the ground. He picked up the Killing Sword and pointed it at Mu Xingchen. He said with determination in his eyes, "If you want to leave, you have to kill me."
Mu Xingchen took a breath: "Does it have to be this way?"
"Come on, do it." His eyes slowly moved towards her legs.
Mu Xingchen took another breath and couldn't help but hold her forehead.
She couldn't bring herself to do it.
Damn it! She couldn't bring herself to kill a snake in her lifetime!
Li Jing's voice was slightly cold, and he said madly: "Come on!"
Mu Xingchen gradually calmed down. If he took action today, both of them would die here.
"Li Jing." Mu Xingchen said in a hoarse voice, "I'll give you a chance. If you can trap me next time, I'll go with you. You don't want to kill me now, and I can't do it to you. We both know each other."
