Hero Saves the Beauty (3)
At that moment, the man's mind was focused solely on this question, which was also the last question he would ever ponder in his life. With this question in mind, he went to see King of the Underworld!
This was a question that puzzled so many people present, including Li Yue, who found it unbelievable and couldn't understand how Ye Lang had managed it.
Could there really be two people? Then why didn't I notice?
In fact, there were indeed two people in the woods, Ye Lang and Cold-Blooded Fifth, but Ye Lang fired both arrows by himself, without Cold-Blooded Fifth's help.
Seeing all this, Cold-Blooded Fifth was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Ye Lang to be able to perform archery so miraculously!
She saw Ye Lang shoot an arrow in one direction and then run in another direction, and at the time she was a little confused about what Ye Lang was trying to do.
She quickly realized that the arrow Ye Lang had shot was not traveling in a straight line, but rather with a certain arc. It left the woods in the direction Ye Lang was pointing and headed straight for Li Xiande and his men.
Actually, when the arrow appeared in front of Li Xiande, it still had a slight curve, but the curve was so small that Li Xiande and the others did not notice it.
In fact, he didn't have time to pay attention, because Ye Lang then used an arrow to take care of one of his subordinates.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Cold-Blooded Fifth would never have believed that archery could be modified to this extent. It was just ordinary bow and arrow, without any alchemy involved. It was unbelievable!
Next, Ye Lang continued to launch surprise attacks, but the effect was less pronounced afterward, as these people were already on guard, and on full alert.
Just then, they formed a circle, back to back, looking around!
However, even under these circumstances, Ye Lang still took the lives of two people, leaving Li Xiande with only three people, including himself.
And that arrow technique that claimed two lives—that couldn't be considered a cold arrow anymore; it was something you could see, but couldn't dodge!
One of the most magnificent archery techniques was one that Li Yue had seen before, but she never expected it to be so powerful— the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance!
Nine feathered arrows appeared simultaneously from different angles, making it impossible for anyone to dodge!
How magnificent was the appearance of the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance back then...
Of course, Ye Lang never appeared from beginning to end, forcing Li Xiande and the others to defend rather than attack, which was perhaps the most fatal flaw.
At this point, Li Xiande was starting to go a little crazy. He never expected things to turn out this way. As a master of the Earth Grade, he was being trapped here like prey.
It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but he couldn't find Ye Lang's location, and Ye Lang's archery skills posed a danger to him, so he dared not enter the forest!
Fortunately, he didn't go berserk and enter the forest. If he had, he would be dead by now, Cold-Blooded Fifth could have taken care of him in seconds.
In such an environment, no one can stand against Cold-Blooded Fifth!
"Come out! Come out here!!" Li Xiande roared.
Li Yue was smiling. She smiled when she saw Li Xiande like this. The current situation put her at ease. She understood that Ye Lang had completely gained the upper hand!
Whether it was Li Yue's smile that alerted Li Xiande or not, Li Xiande suddenly looked at Li Yue, then smiled sinisterly. He flashed to Li Yue's side and pointed his sword at Li Yue.
"Ford Fox, if you don't want this woman to die, then come out right now!!" Li Xiande said with a sneer, a smile that told everyone that if Ye Lang didn't show up, he would definitely kill Li Yue.
Although Li Yue was wearing the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, she was powerless at this moment, and the Heavenly Mechanism Armor could not protect her from her weaknesses, at least not her face.
"Holding a vulnerable woman hostage, do you have any shame?" Ye Lang's calm voice rang out.
"What does it matter whether I have a face or not, as long as I can achieve my goal!" Li Xiande said coldly, feeling that he had gained the upper hand.
"Ford Fox, don't worry about me. Your coming out won't change anything, it will only make things worse!" Li Yue said calmly, facing Li Xiande's sword with equanimity.
Death is not frightening; she is a soldier and wouldn't care about her own life or death. She just doesn't want to die in humiliation!
If Li Xiande were to kill her now, she wouldn't even flinch!
"I know!" Ye Lang replied.
At this moment, Ye Lang was considering something: would it be better to let Li Xiande kill Li Yue, because then the Heavenly Mechanism Armor on Li Yue's body would be readily available?
His goal this time is the Heavenly Mechanism Armor, and this is a great opportunity!
If Li Yue dies, it's none of my business. Li Xiande killed her. I'll let the Li Family settle accounts with the Sword Saint. Anyway, I don't like that Sword Saint either.
From this perspective, it seems that Li Yue's death is the best option right now, as it would be entirely beneficial to her!
But could I do that? Could I just watch Li Yue be killed right in front of me and not help her?
This seems impossible, at least not for Ye Lang in the current situation!
"Good that you know, then show yourself right now, and don't try to sabotage me from the shadows!!" Li Xiande roared again.
"Do you dare to kill her?" Although Ye Lang didn't want Li Yue to die, he wouldn't be foolish enough to go out directly. As Li Yue said, that would only make things worse.
Everyone knows that once the kidnappers achieve their goal, the hostages become useless, and the kidnappers have no choice but to kill or torture them.
However, Li Yue's situation is different. Li Xiande doesn't dare to lay a hand on her, because that would change the nature of the matter, Li Family would make him pay with his life.
"If I had to choose between her and me, I would of course choose her to die!" Li Xiande said coldly, feeling like he was being forced into a dead end.
"Why do you have this choice? You can leave her and get lost. I have no intention of killing you," Ye Lang said indifferently. He wanted to give Li Xiande a way out; otherwise, things would only get worse.
In fact, Ye Lang had no reason to kill Li Xiande. He was grateful to Li Xiande. Don't forget, it was Li Xiande who created such a perfect opportunity for him to play the hero and save the beauty.
Therefore, if Li Xiande does nothing and just leaves, Ye Lang will not care about him. He will leave these matters to Li Yue to handle herself and does not want to get involved.
"I don't believe it. You just killed so many of us. Aren't you afraid of my revenge?" Li Xiande did not choose to leave. He did not believe Ye Lang's words. He felt that if he left, Ye Lang would shoot him in the back.
