Li Hu heard Su Xi's words, his eyes fixed on her, his voice filled with threat, "Are you really not afraid I'll kill you?"
He was gambling again, gambling that Su Xi hadn't discovered his secret.
Su Xi's actions were merely a bluff.
Su Xi heard the lack of confidence in Li Hu's words and mocked him without reservation, "Do you have a hearing problem? Didn't you understand what I said?"
When Li Hu heard Su Xi still insisting, he couldn't help but laugh, "Since you think so, don't blame me for being ruthless."
With that, Li Hu slowly raised his hand, his fingers pointing directly at Su Xi, clearly ready to attack.
Li Hu's previous actions had already surprised those around him.
Now, seeing him point at Su Xi again, everyone's hearts grew tense, and at the same time, they felt a sense of anticipation, wanting to know if Li Hu was truly the paper tiger Su Xi claimed him to be.
Facing Li Hu's action, Su Xi showed no tension on her face. Instead, she looked at him intently and continued to provoke him, "See if you can harm me now."
She was not afraid, nor was she worried about what Li Hu might do.
Seeing Su Xi's lack of fear, a fierce look appeared in Li Hu's eyes, and he began chanting a spell.
As the incantation resounded, specks of light began to appear on Li Hu's finger. With the appearance of these lights, a powerful aura locked onto Su Xi.
"Buzz~"
An aura fluctuation identical to the previous one sounded, and then rushed towards Su Xi.
The beam of light was fast and fierce, carrying an irresistible force that inspired awe.
In just a moment, it arrived in front of Su Xi.
"Bang!"
Under the beam of light, Su Xi offered no resistance. Her body was quickly shattered and disappeared into the air.
"Heheheh," Li Hu sneered and looked at the crowd in front of him, mocking them, "Since you didn't believe me, now you must pay the price."
He had already mobilized his primordial power in advance, and Su Xi had died as she deserved.
Li Hu uttered this sentence, expecting to see fear on the faces of the crowd.
However, he found that not only were their faces devoid of fear, but they also wore expressions of faint amusement.
This discovery made him look utterly perplexed, unsure of what had gone wrong.
Logically, things should not have turned out this way at all.
When he withdrew his gaze, he suddenly noticed that the Su Xi who should have been dead had reappeared before him, and this time she was holding a sword.
The sword was positioned right at his heart.
"Urk!" Li Hu clutched the wound on his chest, looking at Su Xi in disbelief and asking, "How did you do it?"
This was impossible. How had Su Xi managed it? The person who had died had come back to life, and even managed to kill him in return.
Su Xi smiled at Li Hu and then slowly pulled the Meteor God Sword from his chest.
She saw no need to explain anything to a dead man.
She didn't like wasting time.
As the Meteor God Sword was pulled from Li Hu's chest, intense flames erupted from his chest. As the flames surged, his body began to turn to ash bit by bit, falling to the ground.
After dealing with Li Hu, Su Xi spoke to the people around her, "No one is guarding now, hurry and leave."
The others had no objections to Su Xi's arrangements. They nodded and began to leave together.
They had wanted to leave for a long time, so naturally, they didn't want to stay any longer when the opportunity arose.
Otherwise, who knew what else might happen if they stayed.
After everyone had left, Su Xi saw this and did not leave.
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at Su Xi, who had not yet left, and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Based on his understanding of Su Xi, she would never simply stay there; she would have left long ago. Her not leaving now was definitely unusual.
Su Xi smiled and explained, "Because I'm waiting."
"Waiting?" Ouyang Chu Ge frowned and looked at Su Xi, not knowing what she was waiting for.
Could it be that there was someone here she knew, which was why she was patiently waiting?
Seeing Ouyang Chu Ge's confusion, Su Xi explained, "Guess why this place is so extraordinary, yet it's only guarded by someone at the Nascent Soul stage. What does that imply?"
"Implies something?" Ouyang Chu Ge muttered and instantly realized.
If the defenses were so lax, it meant things weren't as simple as they seemed, and their opponents were already prepared.
It was precisely because they were prepared that they would casually entrust such an important matter to someone at the Nascent Soul cultivation level.
This was the capital of the Great Xuan Empire, and the Nascent Soul stage was no longer a rare level.
Therefore, having someone at the Nascent Soul stage as a guard was a common occurrence. Their opponent must have had great confidence to do so. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
After figuring this out, Ouyang Chu Ge no longer felt the urgency to leave.
With so many people here, they could help scout the way, lest they accidentally fall into a trap.
Besides Ouyang Chu Ge and Su Xi, there were naturally other intelligent individuals present.
These smart people had also considered this issue, so they didn't rush to leave. Instead, they followed Su Xi, ready to provide backup if anything went wrong.
Seeing this, Su Xi did not stop them.
After all, although they were just passing through, they were fellow travelers.
In this strange place, having intelligent teammates was exactly what they needed.
"I believe everyone has realized that this place is unusual. If we want to leave, we must work together," Su Xi said to the crowd, stating the problem.
Now, they had to unite all the strength they could to leave this place.
Although her idea was good, not everyone among these people thought the same way.
They came from different continents, and each of them had once been a king, a standout in their respective fields.
Moreover, many in this group had cultivation levels exceeding Su Xi's, so they were naturally unwilling to take orders from her.
If people at the Soul Transformation stage were to be led by someone at the Nascent Soul stage, wouldn't that be a laughable matter?
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Su Xi understood that things were not that simple.
However, she hadn't expected it to be simple when she spoke. She had only done her best; among so many people, surely some would be willing to listen to her.
"If you wish to follow us, then come with me. For those who do not wish to listen to me, then we part ways here."
Su Xi spoke and left without giving them much time to think.
Ouyang Chu Ge followed Su Xi without hesitation. Others hesitated, but a portion of them still followed Su Xi.
The other part, after leaving with Su Xi, still held out hope of finding a way out.
After walking for a while, they still saw nothing; everything was the same darkness.
At first, the crowd had no complaints, but they felt they had walked for a long time without finding an exit, and their thoughts began to change.
Someone in the crowd could no longer bear it and asked, "When can we leave?"
For them, they had initially believed Su Xi could lead them out, but now that they hadn't, they no longer believed they could escape.
Without any benefit, no one would risk their lives anymore.
Su Xi understood that these people no longer believed her because they saw no immediate benefit, and she remained unhurried.
She had long foreseen this situation and was not flustered in the slightest.
Therefore, in response to their questioning, she calmly said, "Don't worry, we've arrived."
"Arrived?" Hearing Su Xi's words, the crowd immediately looked around, wondering if they were hallucinating.
Everything was pitch black, with no light visible. How could she say they had reached the exit?
Seeing this, Su Xi showed no worry and said, "Someone has been waiting for us for so long. Can't you see them?"
Just as the crowd was wondering what Su Xi was talking about, they suddenly heard a burst of strong applause, echoing Su Xi's guess.
"I truly didn't expect anyone to see through my defenses. You indeed have some skill," a pleasant voice suddenly emerged from the darkness.
The voice was magnetic, but to the ears of the crowd, it sounded quite chilling.
Hearing the sudden voice, the crowd was filled with confusion.
Although they heard the voice, there was no trace of a person. Was it human or ghost?
They were very perplexed; this phenomenon was completely abnormal.
After all, none of them had weak cultivation.
If someone were so close, they would have seen them or sensed their presence. The current situation was indeed very strange.
Su Xi, however, unlike the surrounding crowd who were busy trying to locate the source of the voice, calmly asked, "What do you want?"
Hearing Su Xi's question, the figure in the darkness couldn't help but laugh.
His laughter was full of joy, as if he didn't care about anything. But soon, his laughter stopped, and he said, "What I want to do now is very simple: I want to marry you."
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Hearing this, Su Xi felt a wave of speechlessness.
She had considered many possibilities, but never had she imagined this outcome – someone was coveting her beauty.
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Ouyang Chu Ge almost burst into laughter and looked at Su Xi with a peculiar expression.
Now, what should Su Xi do?
The others, hearing the voice from the darkness, couldn't help but speak up, "Since someone fancies the young lady, you should just agree. Don't delay us."
"Yes, we have elders at home and children to care for. We absolutely cannot die here."
"Young lady, you kindly brought us here. Surely you don't want to see us die."
...
Since there was a chance to survive, these people naturally didn't want to miss it so quickly.
After all, with a chance to live, they couldn't give up easily.
Therefore, Su Xi undoubtedly became their target.
