Jiang Li's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and the long spear in his hand continued to pierce forward without hesitation.
At this moment, Lin Dong's heart was already filled with terror; he felt a deep despair.
"Bang!!!"
The instant the spear struck Lin Dong, a sword light carrying a green glow, with lightning-like speed, directly hit Jiang Li's spear.
Jiang Li's spear let out a crisp sound, and for a fleeting moment, it froze upon impact.
With the formidable power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, combined with the overwhelming aura of the Heavenly rank spiritual treasure, Lin Dong, in his extreme fear, actually fainted.
Immediately after, a figure flashed over and, in the instant the spear was halted, rescued the unconscious Lin Dong.
"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?" A voice filled with killing intent permeated the entire ancestral land.
Jiang Li's expression was indifferent as he observed the scene before him.
A young man in a white robe, with sharp brows and handsome features, holding a long sword in his right hand and the blood-stained, unconscious Lin Dong in his left, stared at him with cold eyes.
Is this the Son of Destiny? He came to save him even at this point!
Jiang Li directly activated the Life Script System to check the young man's life script.
[Name]: Li Jianchen
[Realm]: Spirit River Triple Heaven
[Physique]: Innate Sword Seed
[Destiny]: Astonishing Talent (Purple), Astonishing Fortune (Purple), Sword Dao Prodigy (Purple), Potential of a Great Sage (Purple).
[Life Script]: A supporting character in "Rebellion Against Heaven and Earth," disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Palace Master, met Lin Dong through chance... eventually achieving the Great Sage realm.
[Affection]: -50
[Recent Turning Point]: Two days later, killed an elder in the Yuan Demon Sect and obtained a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine.
Seven days later, in the seventh sword tomb of the Myriad Sword Villa, within pit number 99, killed an ancient sword spirit and condensed the Seven Kill Sword Pellet.
Li Jianchen, all purple destinies, innate sword seed, hah.
"Get out of the way, this guy must die!" Jiang Li's eyes were cold as he stared at Li Jianchen, speaking sternly.
Jiang Li's aura was extremely ferocious, and with a Heavenly rank spiritual treasure in hand, he was not afraid even when facing Li Jianchen at the Spirit River Triple Heaven realm. Moreover, Jiang Li had just condensed a flawless Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, possessing peerless power that could shatter everything.
"Senior Brother, is Brother Lin Dong okay?" A clear voice filled with concern came from not far away.
Several beautiful women in long dresses rushed over hastily.
Jiang Li quickly scanned them. The disciples were all from the Heavenly Mountain Sword Palace, and their realms were all at the Dan Yuan realm.
However, the most beautiful woman seemed to have a good relationship with Lin Dong.
[Name]: Lin Xueman
[Realm]: Dan Yuan Nine Heavens
[Physique]: Purple Moon Divine Body.
[Destiny]: Astonishing Talent (Purple), Astonishing Fortune (Purple), Stunning Beauty (Blue), Potential of a Great Sage (Purple), Short-lived Beauty (Gray).
[Life Script]: A supporting female character in "Rebellion Against Heaven and Earth," closed-door disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Palace's Supreme Elder, Lin Dong's cousin... during a great battle, she took a fatal blow for Lin Dong and eventually perished.
[Affection]: -99
[Recent Turning Point]: Three days later, obtained a Heavenly rank treasure pill from the Supreme Elder and broke through to the Spirit River realm.
Another confidante of Lin Dong, Lin Dong's fortune is truly astonishing.
"My esteemed brother, it's best to show mercy when one can. I wonder what Brother Lin Dong has done wrong. I apologize on his behalf!" Li Jianchen took a deep breath and spoke.
The aura emanating from Jiang Li was too terrifying. It would not be a quick matter to subdue him.
More importantly, his junior sisters were all here. If they were accidentally harmed by this villain... that was something Li Jianchen absolutely could not tolerate.
Especially Lin Xueman, if anything were to happen to her, the Supreme Elder would likely skin him alive.
"Senior Brother, what are you talking to him for? This guy doesn't look like a good person at all. He even tried to kill Xue Man's cousin."
"Exactly, exactly. Senior Brother told him to stop, but he didn't listen. Such a person is truly evil and must be killed..."
...
...
The two women beside them chirped incessantly.
Lin Xueman, however, looked at Lin Dong with a worried expression, remaining silent.
"Junior Sisters, silence yourselves. This esteemed brother must have some unspeakable difficulties. We cannot refuse him a chance to rectify his mistakes just because we are disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sword Palace!" Li Jianchen said, feigning anger, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled. Did they think he would be hesitant by bringing up the Heavenly Mountain Sword Palace?
These so-called righteous sects really knew how to threaten people.
"This guy is using the lives of people in Tianfeng City to cultivate demonic arts. I am here to act on behalf of Heaven. What, is your Heavenly Mountain Sword Palace going to harbor a demon?" Jiang Li then said calmly.
As soon as Jiang Li spoke, Li Jianchen and the others' expressions changed.
"Impossible, how could Brother Lin Dong be a demon? You're lying!" Lin Xueman immediately couldn't sit still and quickly said.
At this moment, a power within Lin Dong seemed to be slowly absorbing the surrounding bloody energy.
After the immense heavenly tribulation and fierce battles, the imperial palace was already filled with corpses and blood.
The essence of this blood, like a stream, was slowly flowing towards Lin Dong.
Jiang Li had already discovered that Lin Dong had cultivated this demonic art of absorbing human blood from somewhere, and now, it was perfect to use as evidence of him being a demon.
"Are you blind? What is he absorbing now? If I hadn't arrived, the entire city would have been slaughtered by this demon!" Jiang Li continued.
He wanted to see how these self-proclaimed righteous sects would react.
Li Jianchen pursed his lips. At this moment, Lin Dong in his arms had an extremely distorted face, only slightly relaxing when the essence of blood was absorbed.
He subconsciously believed most of Jiang Li's words.
The other two female disciples also had complex expressions. They could see Lin Dong's current behavior. Furthermore, Jiang Li was so handsome, whereas Lin Dong was rather ordinary.
By all appearances, Jiang Li did not seem like someone who would lie.
"Junior Sister, your Brother Lin Dong, perhaps he truly is..." Yao Caishan cautiously said.
They all knew that Lin Xueman was the Supreme Elder's closed-door disciple.
If it weren't for that reason, they wouldn't have come to Tianfeng City.
Lin Xueman bit her lip tightly, unable to believe it. How could Brother Lin Dong, who was so kind and doted on her when she was young, be a demon?
"I don't believe it. You must have used some secret technique to make Brother Lin Dong absorb this blood essence!" Lin Xueman stubbornly refused to believe.
Jiang Li shook his head. This confidante was truly devoted to Lin Dong.
Even now, she still didn't believe it.
