Qingfeng Li suddenly understood. No wonder the Blood Sea Monarch looked so familiar to him. It turned out that she and Linglong Xue were the same person, only that the Blood Sea Monarch was her true self and Linglong Xue was a clone.
Qingfeng Li looked over at the Blood Sea Monarch, finding out that she was super powerful. Though she had only reached Saint Realm just now, she was no less powerful than the others, even possessing a stronger attack power than Qingfeng Li. Locked in the battle, she and the Crimson Fire Monarch shattered the heaven and the earth, dimming the sun and the moon.
Qingfeng Li realized why she was this powerful after a thought. Blood Sea Monarch must have used the vital essence of the entire Blood Sea, from all the self-cultivators and beasts in it.
After all, Blood Sea Monarch was the overlord of the ocean, with no fewer self-cultivators beneath her than Crimson Fire Monarch. Thatâs why these two showed equivalent power in this intense fight.
While fighting with the Crimson Fire Monarch, the Blood Sea Monarch casually shot out a red light, which was the vital essence of the Blood Sea. It entered Qingfeng Liâs body and erased the vital essence from the Crimson Fire Monarch. Qingfeng Li could move freely at the next moment.
The Blood Sea Monarch said to Qingfeng Li, âAlthough you have reached saint realm, youâre still no opponent for the Crimson Fire Monarch without the vital essence of a planet. Iâll deal with him. You go up the mountain and save your woman.â
Qingfeng Li was grateful, as he cupped his hands and thanked the Blood Sea Monarch.
He understood that he could only get free because of Blood Sea Monarchâs help. Otherwise, he would still be suppressed here by the vital essence of the entire planet.
Qingfeng Li turned himself into a whirlwind and rushed toward the peak of Fire Monarch Mountain. He was completely shocked when reaching the top.
It was because he found Ruyan Liu and their daughter were both tied up by Spirit-binding Rope, and a dagger was put against Ruyan Liuâs throat.
The one holding the dagger was Hongmei Chi. Qingfeng Li certainly knew her. This woman was the queen of Crimson Fire Supreme Dynasty and also the daughter of the Crimson Fire Monarch.
Qingfeng Li had killed her husband, her disciple siblings, and friends; Hongmei Chi surely hated Qingfeng Li a lot, and she was threatening Qingfeng Li with Ruyan Liu and their daughterâs life at this moment.
Hongmei Chi saw Qingfeng Li and said, âStop there. Iâll cut her throat if you take one more step.â
Qingfeng Li got scared and dared not to step forward, saying, âFine, Iâll stand here, and you shall not harm Ruyan and my daughter.â
At this moment, Qingfeng Li was extremely anxious and worried. Though he really wanted to kill Hongmei Chi, he dared not to walk forward, for fear of Hongmei Chi harming Ruyan Liu after being provoked.
Ruyan Liu looked at Qingfeng Li with excitement, for he was the one she had kept thinking of all this time. He looked so familiar even though they hadnât met for almost one year.
Ruyan Liu shook her head toward Qingfeng Li, indicating for him not to approach. She knew Hongmei Chi had malicious intentions and wanted to threaten Qingfeng Li with her life.
Qingfeng Li looked at Hongmei Chi, saying, âAt what cost will you let Ruyan Liu and my daughter off?â
Hongmei Chi smirked with killing intent, saying, âYou killed my husband. I want you to pay with your life. I can let them go, if you stab yourself with this dagger.â
Hongmei Chi threw a green dagger to the front of Qingfeng Li. It was a ten-centimeter-long dagger that was dark green in color, with a faint light on the edge, clearly being smeared with poison.
Ruyan Liu said, âDonât stab yourself with that dagger. Hongmei Chi has smeared Saint Toxin on it. Even though you have reached Saint Realm, youâll promptly die after touching the poison.â
Qingfeng Li frowned slightly. He certainly had heard of the super rare Green Toxic Dagger. This type of dagger was made from a few kinds of saint level toxins, which could even poison saints, and was extremely rare and powerful.
Qingfeng Li didnât expect that Hongmei Chi could get a Green Toxic Dagger and would ask Qingfeng Li to stab himself with it.
If the toxin from Green Toxic Dagger entered Qingfeng Liâs body, it would severely harm him.
Seeing Qingfeng Li standing there still, Hongmei Chi showed a freezing look and suddenly wielded the dagger in her hand, cutting the skin of Ruyan Liuâs neck. Blood sprayed out and stained Ruyan Liuâs clothes and body.
Their daughter started to cry out after seeing her mother being hurt with a heartbreaking voice.
Hongmei Chi stared at Qingfeng Li and said coldly, âSee? Iâll give you one more second. If you donât stab yourself with the Green Toxic Dagger, Iâll cut through Ruyan Liuâs throat with this dagger and then your daughterâs.â
Qingfeng Li was furious. He hated Hongmei Chi to the core and wished to cut her into pieces. But he knew he couldnât strike out without absolute confidence. He couldnât risk Ruyan Liu and daughterâs safety.
Qingfeng Li took a deep breath and calmed down, saying,â Okay, Iâll stab myself with the Green Toxic Dagger.â
The surrounding self-cultivators were all astonished by this scene.
âQingfeng Li is truly in love, and he would rather stab himself with Green Toxic Dagger for that woman. He may not know that heâll definitely die if heâs cut by this dagger.â
âYouâre right. The Green Toxic Dagger is prepared with a few types of saint level poison. Even saints canât detoxify it.â
âNo hero can pass the barrier of beauty. Qingfeng Li is no exception. He is doomed.â
The surrounding self-cultivators all looked at Qingfeng Li with contempt, regarding him as a fool, willing to die for a woman.
Self-cultivators could live a hundred thousand years more after reaching the Saint Realm. He could have any beautiful women during this time and could even get tons of saint-level sons and daughters if he wanted. Why did he cling to one and would even die for her?
Qingfeng Li didnât pay attention to their discussion. He took the Green Toxic Dagger and stabbed it into his chest. With a crack sound, the dagger penetrated into his chest and cut a big hole.
The green venom seemed alive, rushing into Qingfeng Liâs body and devouring the vital essence in his muscles and blood.
After a short while, many green venation lines showed up on his chest. They were because of the poison and looked very scary.
