Now that things have come to this, Xue Qinghe understands that Qi Ling never intended to submit to him from the beginning. The reason she said those things just now was only to find out the lie that Xue Ke had told!
"You dare to play tricks on me! Qi Ling, how dare you!" Xue Qinghe said angrily.
Qi Ling sneered, "Alright, anyone with a brain wouldn't believe what I just said! Get out of my way, I'm in a hurry to get home."
"You think you can just leave after deceiving me? Don't dream! Qi Ling, you will pay the price for your arrogance today!" Xue Qinghe said, "Demon Envoy, kill him!"
Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's words, the beautiful woman who had been expressionless finally stood up slowly and came to Qi Ling's side. Although she didn't say a word, her undisguised murderous aura made Qi Ling secretly startled.
"No wonder you dared to say that! So you have such a powerful expert by your side!" Qi Ling said. "You can't be from the Heaven Dou Empire. Who are you?"
But the beautiful woman didn't react to Qi Ling's words at all, while Xue Qinghe said smugly from the side, " Qi Ling, accept your fate! You can't possibly be her match, no, you should say, no one in this world can be her match!"
Qi Ling's pupils contracted, and she said, "So that's how it is. She's not from this world? Xue Qinghe, you've got quite the ability!"
"Further words are useless, prepare to die, Qi Ling!" Xue Qinghe said.
After Xue Qinghe finished speaking, the demon envoy made no further moves and rushed directly towards Qi Ling, now holding a strangely shaped dagger.
Facing such a formidable opponent, Qi Ling dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately used his strongest defensive skill. After the Divine Dragon Emperor possessed him, his Sixth Soul Ring lit up, and " Holy Dragon Guardian " was activated.
Sensing the solidification of the surrounding space, Xue Qinghe was greatly alarmed. He could sense that the power of Qi Ling's move was so strong that even Titled Douluo might not be able to break through it.
But the demon envoy remained unmoved, showing no surprise whatsoever. Then, to Qi Ling's astonishment, she did exactly what Qian Daoliu did, slicing through the air with her dagger as if nothing had happened, and continued her attack on Qi Ling.
"Damn it, could I have mastered a fake Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill? How can anyone help me break through so easily?" Qi Ling thought in shock, then prepared to deal with the opponent's attack, clenching her right fist and gathering her Soul Power on it.
" Tyrant Dragon Fist!"
The powerful Tyrant Dragon Fist, even if it can't harm the opponent, should at least be able to hold her off for a moment!
But then something else happened to Qi Ling's surprise! The demon's body seemed not to exist in this space, allowing Qi Ling's fist to pass directly through her body and strike empty air.
Qi Ling's all-out punch missed completely, and without any preparation, even with her strong control, she involuntarily lost her balance for a brief moment.
In a battle between masters, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant! Just as Qi Ling regained her balance and was about to continue fighting, a dagger was already at her neck, and the demon envoy appeared behind her.
"Good! Demon Envoy, well done!" Seeing the Demon Envoy subdue Qi Ling, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but cheer and said urgently, "Hurry up and kill him! Let him know the consequences of opposing me!"
Qi Ling also felt a sense of foreboding. This person's power was too strange. She had never seen such a way of using power before, and there was indeed a huge gap in strength between the two of them.
However, Qi Ling naturally couldn't just sit and wait to die. Just as he was pondering how to escape, the demon envoy's expression changed, and for the first time, he let out a soft exclamation. "Eh?"
Then, the demon envoy applied slight pressure with the dagger in his hand, slicing Qi Ling's skin and drawing a drop of blood. The demon envoy then dipped a finger of his other hand in the blood and put it in his mouth.
In the next instant, the demon's expression changed, a thoughtful look appearing on her face, and the dagger in her hand remained unswung.
"Demon Envoy! What are you doing! Hurry up and do it! What are you waiting for!" Xue Qinghe urged impatiently when he saw that the Demon Envoy had not made a move.
But to Xue Qinghe's utter surprise, the demon envoy not only didn't attack, but instead removed the dagger from Qi Ling's neck and released Qi Ling.
Qi Ling regained her freedom and immediately stepped aside, looking at the Demon Envoy with a puzzled expression, wondering what she meant.
"I cannot kill you, you should leave," the demon envoy said slowly.
These words shocked both men present. Qi Ling was confused, while Xue Qinghe was furious.
But Qi Ling naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He had already checked on his way here, and perhaps because he had complete confidence in the Demon Envoy, no one in the palace could stop him from rushing out.
Without further delay, Qi Ling rushed out of the house and headed towards the outside of the palace. Before leaving, he gave Xue Qinghe a meaningful look, which infuriated him.
But Xue Qinghe couldn't care less about Qi Ling now. No matter how important Qi Ling was, she wasn't as important as the Demon Envoy's strange attitude! After all, this was the person who concerned everything about him.
"Demon Envoy, what exactly do you mean? Why do you say you can't kill him? What makes him so different?!" Xue Qinghe asked frantically.
The demon envoy then slowly said, "I cannot kill him, because he is also one of the chosen ones by the adults. Xue Qinghe, if you want to kill him, you have to do it yourself!"
"What did you say? You mean, he was also chosen? How is that possible? Wasn't I the only one chosen?" Xue Qinghe said in shock.
" Xue Qinghe, we never said that you were the only one chosen!" the demon envoy said. "Being chosen doesn't mean you're special. If you can't prove your qualifications, then you'll be eliminated by us."
"But..." Xue Qinghe wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the demon envoy.
"We've already helped you enough. If you can't prove your own worth, then you're nothing more than a dispensable substitute to us."
"From now on, we will no longer provide you with any assistance. You must rely on yourself to defeat your opponents and prove yourself! If you possess such power and still cannot do this, you know what your fate will be."
After saying this, the demon envoy walked outside and disappeared immediately, leaving Xue Qinghe standing there in shock, lost in thought.
What Xue Qinghe didn't know was that after the demon envoy left, he muttered to himself, "How could this be? This taste, this feeling... He was actually chosen by the master himself?"
"Is the prophesied moment finally about to arrive?"
