Li Jing never imagined that the man she had rejected before would do something so extreme, wanting to die together with her!
Li Jing is a customer service manager at a listed company. Despite being a single mother, she has no shortage of suitors due to her outstanding looks. Moreover, because of her job, she has to deal with many clients every day, Mao Ning is one of them.
From the moment Mao Ning first saw Li Jing, he began a relentless pursuit. Initially, Li Jing did not reject him because of Mao Ning age, demeanor, and experience, and planned to give it a try.
After all, raising a daughter is tough on her too.
However, upon getting to know him, it was discovered that Mao Ning not only had an extreme personality disorder, but also a strong possessiveness. His ex-wife chose to divorce him because she couldn't stand his abnormal thoughts.
Upon learning this, Li Jing immediately distanced herself from him. She had already put the matter out of her mind, but unexpectedly, when the sky cleared up this afternoon and she planned to take her daughter to the beach to relax and de-stress, she was met with retaliation.
Mao Ning's car was parked in the road she had to pass, and then it crashed into her car!
Then, this scene unfolded!
Mao Ning was completely out of his mind; he wouldn't listen to anything Li Jing said. Li Jing, who was experiencing something like this for the first time, was completely disoriented. Coupled with the insults directed at her from all around, she felt utterly miserable and burst into tears.
Seeing that someone was actually attacking her daughter, Li Jing wanted to call for help, but her neck was being held tightly, and with her throat dry, she was having difficulty breathing.
Fortunately, not everyone present was heartless. Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw someone save her daughter.
"Jingjing, how could you bear to leave me? How could you leave me? Do you know that I can't live without you? I'd rather die than live without you?"
Mao Ning's face was contorted with rage, his lips pressed against Li Jing's ear, as if he were talking to himself, or perhaps whispering to Li Jing.
Li Jing's face was full of disdain. Now that her daughter had left the danger zone, she was no longer afraid. Suppressing her anger, she said, "Mao Ning, give up on that idea. I will never be with a pervert like you!"
Why are you so heartless? Why are you torturing me?!
Mao Ning, hissing and contorting his face, turned Li Jing's face toward him, gripping her neck tightly, and said, "Tell me, have you fallen in love with someone else, you fickle woman!"
Li Jing's neck was being squeezed, her face flushed red, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Mao Ning said to himself, "Fine, if you won't say anything, then we'll meet again in the next life. We'll reincarnate together and be lovers again."
As he spoke, Mao Ning looked around at the trembling people, then burst into wild laughter, his voice wavering and trembling. "To have so many people die with us, this feeling is just too wonderful!"
His hand, holding the pistol, slowly moved down, preparing to place it on the detonation button for the explosives!
Run!
The people around were horrified, and those car owners who still held onto a glimmer of hope began to flee frantically!
Whoosh!
A sharp sound suddenly rang out!
Tearing off someone's eardrum!
Immediately afterward, just as Mao Ning was about to press the button, his arm suddenly and violently severed from the shoulder!
The blood-soaked arm flew into the sky, followed by Mao Ning's heart-wrenching scream!
Only then did everyone realize that an ancient wooden sword with a bluish light had circled in the air, and it was this sword that had just severed Mao Ning's arm!
"Ah--"
Li Jing was standing right next to Mao Ning. When she saw this bloody scene, her pretty face turned from red to white. She was so frightened that she screamed.
"What's this?"
The flying sword came fast and went fast. Before anyone could figure out what was happening, they saw it lash through their heads, then soar into the sky and disappear!
"God! God has shown His power!"
"It's a divine intervention!"
"The gods couldn't bear to see us die, so they intervened and punished the bad guys!"
"A miracle! This is a miracle..."
After the initial shock, the first thing many people did upon regaining their senses was to bow and worship upwards. They were incredibly excited, some even with tears in their eyes.
None of these people paid any attention to Mao Ning, who was struggling on the ground in excruciating pain, or Li Jing, who was crouching beside him, clutching her head and not daring to move.
A disaster that could have affected hundreds of people was resolved by a flying sword. The so-called god they spoke of spread like wildfire, and the entire caravan, where people had been fleeing one after another, now knelt down and prayed to the sky.
The scene was several times more spectacular than when Mao Ning pulled the explosives earlier...
At the edge of the woods, Gu Chen sheathed his Dragon Scale Sword, his face pale and almost collapsing from exhaustion.
The Revolving Illumination Realm is merely a martial artist's realm; to drive a flying sword for such a long time is still too much of a stretch.
He gave a wry smile, plopped down on the ground, and gasped for breath.
"Big brother..."
The little girl was stunned. Although she had just said that Gu Chen was Li Xiaoyao, her heart was still racing and her face turned red when she witnessed this scene.
"Don't get agitated." Gu Chen forced a smile and said, "Promise me, this is a secret between the two of us, okay? You can't tell anyone else."
"Can't Mommy tell either?" the little girl tilted her head.
"Yes, not only Mom and Dad, but also Grandpa and Grandma, all the distant relatives—we can't tell anyone." Gu Chen held up his little finger and said, "Let's pinky swear, okay?"
"Okay!" The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the pinky promise, and she smiled brightly. She said cautiously, "This is our little secret. Don't worry, big brother, I'm very tight-lipped. I'll keep it safe in my heart."
"Good girl!" Gu Chen smiled, looking at her cuteness, and couldn't help but pat her head, as if he were thinking of Qi Ming's daughter.
However, the moment his hand touched the little girl, his body stiffened violently!
How could that be?
Gu Chen's expression was somewhat strange.
Immediately afterwards, as if to confirm some idea of his, he probed a stream of True Qi into the little girl's body, and his expression turned to shock again!
"Nine Yin Mystic Physique!"
Gu Chen couldn't help himself and blurted out!
The Nine Yin Mystic Physique is one of the most powerful talents in the legends of cultivators!
There are five elements in the world, and within the five elements are yin and yang!
The Nine Yin Mystic Physique is one of the two great physiques, along with the Nine Yang Divine Physique!
This physique is rare even on Heavenly Nether Star! Even Gu Chen, who was one of the Divine Emperor in his previous life and reached the peak after only a few thousand years of cultivation, only had the Lie'ao Divine Physique, which is a second-tier Five Elements Body!
At this moment, Gu Chen's heart pounded faster as he looked at the little girl as if she were a treasure!
