Keeping His Promise

Deng Yuanlei had been waiting for quite some time. He had already freed his own acupoints and hoped to launch a sneak attack on the Dragon King, but he had not expected the Dragon King never to come near. Instead, he had sent Shangguan Ru to free him.

He had no idea that the Dragon King could not seal acupoints, much less undo the seals.

The instant he made his move, Deng Yuanlei changed his mind. Killing this Little Girl would bring him little benefit, whereas taking her hostage could bring him considerable profit. Everyone present could see the ambiguous relationship between the Dragon King and her.

Deng Yuanlei struck Shangguan Ru's acupoint, snatched a long sword from one of the disciples beside him, and held it against her neck. His laughter remained hearty. "Dragon King, we agreed on this fair and square: live to win, die to lose. Not a single person has died yet, so the duel must continue."

Hong Fu was about to charge forward when the Dragon King raised a hand to stop her.

Gu Shenwei sighed, showing no sign of panic. "So the Qingcheng Sect has another trump card."

Deng Yuanlei paid no attention to the Dragon King's sarcasm. He looked at Divine Doctor Sun, who stood beside him in astonishment, and ordered his disciples, "Seize him."
