This was just a casual strike from Mu Ling, but it seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth, making it impossible for anyone to even think of resisting...
"I love you…"
Li Zhu roared with all his might. At that moment, Mu Ling seemed to see the Dragon King who was once a peerless hero, carrying the reputation of defeating all the heroes in the world, stepping on the backs of countless strong people, and stepping up to a height that countless people looked up to!
She also killed off all her suitors because she felt they were unworthy; only the man she could look up to was her destiny…
Taking advantage of this moment of distraction, Li Zhu managed to move his body with difficulty!
Moving under such immense pressure felt like his internal organs were being torn apart; the pain was unimaginable!
Bang!
Li Zhu dodged Mu Ling's attack, the sword intent slicing across his cheek and disappearing into the vase behind him!
The giant vase was instantly reduced to dust by Mu Ling's attack!
Seeing this, Li Zhu kept grinning, inwardly cursing Mu Ling as a crazy woman!
If that blow had landed on him, he would probably have turned into a rain of blood right now, leaving no trace in this space-time!
This crazy woman is too powerful, and her control over her strength is absolutely exquisite. Otherwise, if she had just unleashed this attack, she could have smashed through this restaurant, and who knows how many people would have been alarmed!
"How dare you be disrespectful to me? It seems you haven't heard of my formidable reputation. When the mortal world rises, a single sword's light chills fourteen continents!"
Mu Ling said coldly. At this moment, he was furious to the extreme. How could she accept being provoked and humiliated by a junior? Only by killing Li Zhu could she quell her anger!
Li Zhu thought to himself, "Who knows your reputation?" But he dared not contradict the other party and quickly explained.
"Senior, I am not that person after all. If I were, a perfect woman like you would be the best match and the perfect partner to spend the rest of my life with. So killing me will not relieve your anger, but will instead make you bear the infamy of bullying the younger generation!"
To die at the hands of a master like you, senior, would be an honor for me, Li Zhu. But I cannot be so selfish; I cannot sully your hands with my life…”
Li Zhu's flattery impressed even the icy Mu Ling, but her killing intent did not diminish. She had come out to hunt down the Dragon King or his successor, and she wanted to repay him or his successor tenfold or a hundredfold for the pain he had inflicted on her!
"I don't care, so you can die in peace..."
"No, you may not care about your reputation, but I do. Although I don't know your relationship with the Dragon King, that doesn't affect my respect for the Dragon King and those around him. I won't allow my life or death to cause you any trouble..."
Li Zhu spoke righteously, giving the impression that he wasn't afraid of dying, but rather afraid of damaging Mu Ling's reputation!
Mu Ling wasn't a teenage girl; how could she be influenced by Li Zhu's few words? So, she once again gathered sword intent at her fingertips, preparing to strike Li Zhu again…
Seeing this, Li Zhu felt his mouth go dry. This woman was simply like the Abbess Miejue, completely impervious to reason and utterly devoid of emotion…
Just as Mu Ling was about to make another move, a sudden inspiration struck Li Zhu, and he roared loudly.
"Please have mercy, senior! The Dragon King entrusted his daughter to me before he passed away. If I die, there will be no one to take care of her..."
The finger-sword gradually magnified in Li Zhu's gaze, and after he finished shouting those words, the finger-sword stopped between his brows...
Sweat poured down Li Zhu's forehead, clearly showing that Mu Ling had once again instilled in him the fear of death!
"What did you say? The Dragon King's daughter? That's impossible..."
Mu Ling said incredulously, her eyes filled with shock and pain, clearly recalling some very unpleasant memories!
"It's true, I'm not lying to you. The Dragon King entrusted his daughter, Little Dragon Girl, to me, asking me to take care of her..."
When Li Zhu saw that mentioning Xiaolongnu worked, he knew he had made the right bet, and without even taking a deep breath, he told her everything!
"Little Dragon Girl? Is it really Little Dragon Girl?"
The cold Mu Ling trembled uncontrollably, and her voice finally carried a trace of emotion, revealing her unease at that moment!
"She's still alive...she's actually still alive...take me to see her..."
Mu Ling gripped Li Zhu's shoulders and said in a trembling voice, her tone filled with an indescribable urgency!
"Senior Mu Ling, you're hurting me..."
Since mentioning Xiaolongnu was effective, Li Zhu was no longer in a hurry. At this point, the roles of offense and defense had reversed. Now that he had the upper hand, he had to hold on to it, otherwise, how could he gain any advantage?
Mu Ling realized she had been too excited. She apologetically released Li Zhu's shoulder, then resumed her cold expression, but kept a little distance from Li Zhu so that they could both have enough space!
Mu Ling clearly doesn't have the habit of apologizing, but the look she gave Li Zhu was no longer full of murderous intent; instead, it carried a hint of urgency!
"Senior Mu Ling, you can see Little Dragon Girl, but you have to tell me the whole story, right? What if you kill Little Dragon Girl? Wouldn't that be letting down Senior Dragon King's entrustment?"
Li Zhu spoke with such grandeur and authority, as if he were truly concerned for Xiaolongnu's safety. If an acquaintance were present, they would definitely scoff at his words. He was clearly just trying to take advantage, yet he insisted on making it sound so noble...
"If you're afraid of betraying the Dragon King's trust, aren't you afraid that after I kill you, I'll go find the Little Dragon Girl myself? Then you won't just be betraying the Dragon King's trust, you'll be betraying your own life..."
After regaining her composure, Mu Ling's words were not only cold but also bloody!
Li Zhu clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this guy was so boring, killing people at the drop of a hat, too violent, completely forgetting that he himself was always yelling to kill him...
"I know you're just trying to scare me, senior. How could someone as beautiful as you do something as bloody as murder!"
Furthermore, Xiaolongnu seems to have a physical problem; she can't live without the Dragon Ring, but the Dragon Ring has also merged with me. If I die, Xiaolongnu probably won't live much longer either…
I'm not threatening you, senior. I just want to know a few things. I think you're generous enough not to refuse my small request..."
While praising Mu Ling, Li Zhu pressed her to answer his questions!
"What? She has a health problem? What kind of problem?"
Mu Ling asked anxiously, her words filled with worry!
"As long as you don't stray far from me, everything will be fine..."
Li Zhu replied cautiously!
Mu Ling glanced at Li Zhu indifferently, fully aware of his thoughts, but she didn't expose him. All she wanted now was to see Xiaolongnu as soon as possible and confirm her identity…
