?72: Chapter 72: Missile Attack 72: Chapter 72: Missile Attack “Method?”

    Ye Xuan slowly shook his head, smiling lightly, “This young girl’s soul is becoming increasingly powerful, and her body will collapse sooner or later, at most within a year, I’m afraid she’ll burst apart and die.”

    “The...

    the Poison Grandpa said the same...

    It seems I really won’t live past eighteen...” Linglong smiled bleakly, a touch of bitterness crossing her eyes.

    As it turned out, Linglong was not a little girl.

    When Ye Xuan first met her, he had already discerned that.

    “Ye...

    Mr.

    Ye, Tie Li begs you...

    Since you can see what’s wrong with Linglong, you...

    you must have a way to save her!”

    Tie Li quickly engaged the autopilot and let go of the steering of the cockpit, kneeling down in front of Ye Xuan, his eyes filled with an intense longing.

    “I indeed have a way to save her, but why should I help her, and what price can you pay?” Ye Xuan said calmly.

    Upon hearing the first part of Ye Xuan’s words, Linglong and Tie Li’s faces lit up with joy, but when Ye Xuan finished speaking, the two were taken aback and didn’t know how to answer him.

    “Mr.

    Ye, as long as you can save Linglong, my life will be yours from now on,” Tie Li declared, his face flushed red.

    “Big and rough with weak cultivation, aside from brute strength, what use would I have for you?” Ye Xuan said with a light laugh.

    Looking at Ye Xuan’s smiling face, Tie Li’s face turned even redder, and a surge of anger rose within him.

    If only he was a match for Ye Xuan, he would have liked nothing more than to land a heavy punch on Ye Xuan’s face to show him why the flowers are so red.

    “Mr.

    Ye, please state your conditions.”

    Though Linglong’s body could not grow, she was not truly a little girl; her intellect was far superior to Tie Li’s.

    Since Ye Xuan brought up the matter, it clearly had his purpose.

    “Hmm, you’re very smart,” Ye Xuan said with a small smile of appreciation.

    “Actually, it’s very simple.

    I can cure your illness, but as a condition of our exchange, you must serve me for ten years.

    During these ten years, no matter what I ask of you, you cannot refuse,” Ye Xuan’s smile vanished as he looked seriously at Linglong.

    As soon as Ye Xuan stated his condition, even before Linglong could reply, Tie Li’s face changed dramatically, directly retorting, “Absolutely impossible, you’re inherently cruel and bloodthirsty.

    If Linglong stays by your side for ten years, wouldn’t she also become a murderous maniac?”

    “Hmm?”

    Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling glint streaked across his gaze, an extremely terrifying murderous aura pressing down on Tie Li like a mountain, jolting him to the realization that he had spoken out of turn.

    But the words had already been said, and there was no taking them back.

    Tie Li proceeded to steadfastly declare, “If you want to kill, then kill.

    If I even frown, then I’m not a true man.”

    “Heh!”

    Looking at Tie Li’s resolute determination to face death, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a cold sneer, “You really think I dare not kill you?”

    A faint bloody light blossomed, and the temperature in the cockpit dropped sharply, as if something extremely terrifying was about to happen the next moment.

    “Mr.

    Ye, I agree to your terms,” Linglong suddenly spoke up, not waiting for Ye Xuan to make a move.

    “Linglong, have you gone mad?

    He’s a murderous maniac, how can you be so foolish?” Tie Li yelled anxiously.

    Looking at Tie Li’s agitated demeanor, Linglong smiled bitterly, “Haven’t you realized?

    Whether I agree or not, Mr.

    Ye won’t let me go.

    Moreover, if he kills you, how could I bear it?”

    “Haha!”

    Ye Xuan burst into laughter, his gaze toward Linglong brimming with increasing admiration, and the murderous intent around him faded away.

    In fact, all that Ye Xuan had done was to force Linglong into agreement.

    After all, Ye Xuan never considered himself a Saint.

    He was someone who wouldn’t stir without profit.

    If there were no benefits to be gained, why would he have brought up the hidden danger within Linglong?

    Now that the matter was settled, the killing intent for Tie Li naturally receded.

    Actually, Ye Xuan was merely putting on an act; his true objective remained the young girl, Linglong.

    “Linglong, you’re very clever.

    This also proves that I didn’t misjudge you.

    Once we reach the Wu’an Office, I will have my ways...”

    “Hm?”

    All of a sudden!

    Before Ye Xuan could finish his sentence, his voice abruptly halted.

    As his eyes opened and closed, a terrifying blood light streaked across them, and he peered through the aircraft window into the distant horizon.

    “Tie Li, find a place to land immediately,” Ye Xuan commanded grimly, sending a chill down the spines of the two others with him, who had no idea what had happened.

    “Ye Xuan, what are you up to now?” Tie Li burst out, anger flaring.

    “Up to something?”

    “Isn’t there a radar installed on this helicopter, you idiot?” Ye Xuan’s voice was deep, his eyes overflowing with murderous intent as he guessed an unwelcome possibility.

    “Big Brother Tie, hurry up and do as Mr.

    Ye says.

    Land the plane in a safe zone,” Linglong said, following Ye Xuan’s gaze into the distant skies.

    Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

    Her spiritual power was already strong; naturally, she too saw a tremendously terrifying scene.

    “It’s too late!”

    Ye Xuan rose from his seat, a slow bloom of blood light surrounding him.

    The Bloodthirsty Demon Sword quietly appeared in his hand, and he forcefully kicked open the door of the cabin.

    Whirr!

    In the far-off skies, a missile trailed by a horrifying tail of flames emitted a terrifying roar as it surged towards the helicopter Ye Xuan was on.

    “Damn it!”

    “How is this possible?”

    As the scene unfolded before Tie Li’s eyes, he turned ashen, his body trembling, and he couldn’t stop roaring in a low voice.

    “This is an H3 satellite-guided missile.

    Although its power isn’t too strong, it’s more than enough to destroy the helicopter we’re on,” Linglong calmly analyzed, yet her voice carried a slight tremble and a mix of desperate emotion.

    “Parachutes, get the parachutes,” Tie Li said, urgency in his voice, even as despair filled his heart.

    Too fast, all too fast.

    Tie Li knew in his heart that even if they were to grab the parachutes now, the missile would reduce them to ashes before they could leave the helicopter.

    But in just a mere five seconds, the missile tore through the sky.

    Its sonic boom battered the eardrums as Tie Li and Linglong closed their eyes in despair, awaiting death’s arrival.

    Boom!

    The missile finally struck, but what Linglong and the others didn’t see was Ye Xuan’s face turning cold as ice.

    As he swung his sword, a sky-high blade light erupted, instantly slicing the missile in half, which then exploded violently.

    However, the shockwave from the blast immediately knocked Linglong and the others unconscious, and their helicopter, caught in the aftermath of the explosion, began plummeting toward the ground.

    Whirr!

    Blood light surged, spanning the sky, the void trembling intensely and radiating ripples.

    Ye Xuan’s surrounding blood light shot into the heavens, and his complexion was incredibly gloomy.

    As he beckoned through the void, he steadied the bodies of Linglong and the others mid-air, enveloping them in a blood light, and the three descended to the ground.
