Chapter 554: Chapter 545: A Sword Pierces the Body

Outside Tianlan Imperial City, a mighty battle had drawn to a close, as if on cue.

And these two powerhouses, as though by prior agreement, were in pursuit of a young man standing above a White Tiger.

People began to realize that these two brutes, indeed, were chasing no one else but this youth. The people they had killed were merely those who had obstructed their path while in pursuit, casually annihilated in the process.

"Who exactly is this youth?"

"Why are so many Martial Artists watching these two brutes chase him alone? Why do they not pursue anyone else? This kid, how much hatred must he have attracted to be in this situation?"

"Hurry! They’re about to catch up!"

Onlookers could see that above the skies of Tianlan Imperial City, these two brutes were getting closer and closer to the youth.

Shi Feng, who was now the center of attention on the back of the White Tiger, was stomping his feet in a panic. If this continued, the two brutes would catch up and execute him.

However, at that moment, Li Ru, holding a pig-killing knife with a sinister smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression. A fierce and hideous look appeared on his face, and he let out an angry roar, "No! I will not allow you to hurt my beloved! Never! Ah!"

Li Ru, his face twisted in pain and bellowing with rage, whirled around to face Li Liuxin, who was in pursuit. He raised the pig-killing knife high and once again violently slashed it down!

"Hmm?" Faced with Li Ru suddenly turning and slashing at him with a massive black Sword Shadow manifested mid-air, Li Liuxin’s composed face frowned slightly. He thrust out with the Black Mist Sword in his hand!

With a thunderous "boom," the immense black Sword Shadow disappeared under Li Liuxin’s strike.

"You’re all villains for trying to hurt my beloved!" Li Ru, in that moment, seemed to have gone mad, charging at Li Liuxin with the pig-killing knife, wildly hacking away. Powerful Sword Shadows appeared in the air, dense and crisscrossing the Void, sweeping towards Li Liuxin ferociously.

At this moment, Li Ru was on the offensive with no defense, hacking wildly as if determined to inflict mutual destruction upon Li Liuxin. Meanwhile, the Sword Shadows crisscrossed the Void and began to rain down like a violent storm upon the city below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Buildings below began to collapse under the impact of the Sword Shadows. Some fell into the crowd, resulting in a series of agonized wailing.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer the consequences.

Faced with Li Ru’s sudden frenzy, Li Liuxin thrust out with the Demon Fog Sword once again, and as it passed, the dense Sword Shadows sweeping in were instantly annihilated, vanishing without a trace. The Demon Fog Sword ultimately pierced through Li Ru’s chest with a thrust.

"Ah!" The Demon Fog Sword pierced into his body, eliciting a shrill, sharp, hoarse, and horrendously unpleasant scream from Li Ru, echoing through the heavens like the slaughter of a pig!

"Ah! Bitch! Bitch! Still so disobedient, daring to resist me! How dare you wound me! Ah! I will make you taste that worse-than-death agony again! Do you remember how it feels to be tortured to the brink of death, or have you forgotten after all this time? Bitch! Ah!"

The shrill and piercing voice screamed hysterically as it let out a deranged howl, and then the figure suddenly flew backward, breaking free from Li Liuxin’s sword.

Bright red blood spurted incessantly from the bloody hole in Li Ru’s chest, spraying down onto Tianlan Imperial City below. "You! My power! The next time I see you, I will surely take it back!"

Li Ru’s face twisted into a hideous and fierce grimace as she glared venomously at Li Liuxin, who still had an indifferent expression. At that moment, rich black Demon Fog began to seep from the blood hole pierced by Li Liuxin’s sword, winding around Li Ru’s body like ropes of condensing Black Mist, striving to bind her.

"Break!" Li Ru issued another sharp and piercing shout, the Black Mist wrapping her body dissipated instantly. Though the initial tendrils of Black Mist vanished, more continued to seep from the wound, entwining her once again.

It seemed Li Liuxin’s blow hadn’t merely pierced flesh; it was far more than that!

At this moment, Li Ru no longer concerned herself with the bleeding wound and its emanating Black Mist. With a sudden burst of movement, she propelled herself upward, preparing for a Space-breaking escape under the burden of her injury!

Li Ru had previously engaged in a fierce battle with Li Liuxin, and their powers were evenly matched. But now, with not just a penetrating sword wound from Li Liuxin but facing certain defeat if the battle continued, the outcome was inevitable!

The defeat, and the loss of possession of Li Ru’s body by "Demon," was an unimaginable consequence!

Li Ru surged upward, fleeing through the skies, and at that moment, Li Liuxin’s figure also shifted, giving chase. The Black Mist Demon Sword in Li Liuxin’s hand flew out, hurtling towards Li Ru.

"Ah! I’ve already stepped back! Don’t go too far!" Watching herself flee as Li Liuxin relentlessly pursued, Li Ru bellowed in desperation, swinging the pig-killing knife once more with all her might, slashing at the incoming Demon Fog Sword.

"Bang!" The pig-killing knife collided with the Demon Fog Sword, emitting a thunderous explosion. However, with that powerful strike, Li Ru managed to block the sword.

Following that, Li Ru, who had just forcefully blocked the attack, spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. Now realizing the gravity of the situation, she dared not linger and once again bolted, continuing her desperate escape through Space-breaking flight!

"You! This grudge! I will remember it!" she growled venomously as she fled, her hoarse and grating voice echoing once more across the heavens.

But Li Liuxin’s form also moved swiftly, continuing the pursuit of the fleeing Li Ru.

The two figures, one in flight and one in chase, swiftly collided once again, quickly unleashing thunderous roars as powerful energy rampaged throughout the Void.

Then it was a cycle of escape, pursuit, and intense energy collisions. The two figures, fighting as they retreated, gradually disappeared into the horizon.

In a tall building within Tianlan Imperial City below, a young man’s sigh was heard: "Sigh! Brother Shi, how did you get entangled with these two fierce characters!"
