Chapter 1437: Chapter 377: Devil_5

The adversary was an immensely powerful presence of the Foundation Establishment threefold! Such strength was truly equivalent to a former Sect Leader, so in this situation, how could they possibly save Lin Qing?

Lin Qing.

Was going to die.

She believed so too. In that instant, it felt as if her scalp was about to explode. The man before her was looking over with intense murderous intent.

In such circumstances, it seemed certain that she would have no return from this venture. Yet, just as Lin Qing was preparing for her demise, she suddenly noticed Fang Rui standing motionless before her.

At first, it was bewildering, because wasn’t this person planning to attack her?

But now, the outstretched hand was frozen mid-air, and then an even more miraculous event occurred.

From his sleeve, Fang Rui’s hand unexpectedly withdrew a folding fan, which then stiffly opened as he fanned himself in front of his face.

The fan then immediately covered his mouth, and from behind it came Fang Rui’s voice: "Miss, are you perhaps interested in me? If so, we can head to the inn nearby. The city is extremely difficult to be in now; let’s find joy in our final moment, which is the best, don’t you think?"

Lin Qing was dumbfounded.

She found it incredulous, staring at the powerful being before her. His eyes shifted, yet he seemed refined and elegant.

The voice coming from behind the fan was exceedingly gentle, not at all like what Fang Rui, with his cruel demeanor, should be capable of, and even had a touch of teasing.

And then she blushed.

Truly.

She actually blushed, standing there flushed by his teasing, uncertain how to respond for a moment.

Fang Rui continued speaking:

"Why is Miss not speaking to me now? Do you perhaps think I’m not good enough? Tell me what’s wrong, and I’ll change. I only wish to venture into a dungeon with you, Miss, and fight a solo dungeon together."

"And although Miss may look a bit skinny, that’s due to malnutrition."

"If you eat more in the future to fill out, surely you’ll blossom into a stunning lady; at your age, that’s when women bloom brightly."

Lin Qing: "..."

She couldn’t quite understand what the man before her was hinting at; what did it mean to venture into a dungeon together? Was this some secret language among cultivators? She had never heard such words before.

Meanwhile.

Her companions stood under a tree a short distance away, watching in disbelief at the unfolding scene!

Lin Qing actually did it; she really made Fang Rui stand frozen, she even let him lower his guard and engage in such a relaxed conversation.

This was incredible; Lin Qing was able to seize such crucial opportunities at key moments!

Now they only needed to wait for the crossbow to unleash its formidable might.

With this thought, their eyes immediately turned towards a nearby small platform, where stood the leading man.

The man was now gritting his teeth; he had no idea how the woman accomplished this!

Because according to reports, Fang Rui was a terribly ruthless existence!

How did this woman make him appear before her a second time after being refused the first time, could it be that Fang Rui couldn’t resist her beauty?

But now that the opportunity had arisen, he must seize it. He pulled out a crossbow; its length was as long as two arms, covered in many inscriptions that glimmered with faint blue light, indicating the spiritual qi stored within.

With the crossbow arrow set, the crossbow was in final preparations; many safety runes disappeared one by one, ready for action.

Aim.

Now I just need to aim carefully, just aim this crossbow arrow at his head, and with a light press of the trigger, Fang Rui will undoubtedly die!

Taking deep breaths.

The leading man was breathing deeply over and over; he felt like a helpless child facing a fierce tiger, even though he had a weapon capable of slaying the tiger, its sheer presence was terrifying.

His hands trembled, his breath gradually becoming erratic, the more he tried to steady his breath, the more chaotic it became.

Consequently, the crossbow arrow couldn’t be aimed directly at Fang Rui’s head.

And now Fang Rui had sensed this vicious intent; he desperately wanted to flee, but his spiritual qi was seized and immobilized.
