Chapter 2465 - Side Story: Ji Xiuran 10

Tears welled in the girl’s eyes as she stared at the man. “I don’t want you to die…”

“Worriless, I won’t let you die.” The man gave her a comforting smile.

Before Worriless Nie could respond, Ji Xiuran asked, “Tell me, who injured you?”

“That’s not important…” The girl shook her head with a smile.

“It’s important to me,” Ji Xiuran expressionlessly replied.

The girl’s gaze landed on the middle-aged man holding a backsword earlier.

“Is that so?”

Ji Xiuran slowly stood up, his gaze landing on the middle-aged man.

“Hahaha, Ji Xiuran, haven’t you grasped the situation and circumstances yet?!” The middle-aged man didn’t have a trace of fear on his face as he looked at Ji Xiuran.

Ji Xiuran disappeared from his spot and reappeared next to the middle-aged man.

Swish!

Without wasting any words, Ji Xiuran uncoiled his right arm and blood sprayed into the air a second later.

The smile on the middle-aged man’s face froze, swiftly replaced by fear.

The middle-aged man clutched his neck with his hands, but the blood couldn’t be stopped.

His jugular was slashed by Ji Xiuran, but the middle-aged man had no idea how Ji Xiuran did it up until his death.

Ji Xiuran aloofly said, “My situation has nothing to do with how you harmed her.”

“Hahaha, you’re Emperor Ji indeed. They all say Emperor Ji is powerful, and I originally thought they were just rumors. It’s my first time seeing Emperor Ji fight. My horizons have been widened.” Li Chun clapped with a laugh.

Ji Xiuran didn’t respond and turned around to walk toward the girl. He used his dagger to untie her arms and legs.

“Can you walk?” Ji Xiuran inquired quietly.

Worriless Nie shook her head. “No… I can’t walk… right now…”

“Come.” Ji Xiuran bent down.

“No, Brother Xiuran, I’m begging you… Leave! If you don’t take me, I believe… you can leave!” Worriless Nie was unwilling.

Ji Xiuran shook his head and carried the girl on his back.

“Ji Xiuran, this is my first time seeing you lower your head and bowing… Is a woman worth it…? Even if it costs you your life?” Li Chun’s eyes glinted coldly.

The man didn’t answer and slowly walked forward with the girl on his back, step by step.

“Kill him,” Li Chun ordered.

Countless blades shone and gleamed ceaselessly.

The man kicked and sent the people closest to him flying back like a dragon erupting from the sea.

“Idiots! Ji Xiuran’s weakness is Bai Feng!” Li Chun taunted.

Everyone changed their target and started attacking Worriless Nie.

Pfff!

It wasn’t long before the man was covered in blood and his overcoat was dyed red.

The man’s body was trembling slightly, but his face remained devoid of any expression.

“Brother Xiuran… Don’t torment me like this anymore… Don’t block blows for me anymore… I’m begging you…” Behind the man, the girl’s voice was broken with sobs.

The man turned his head, a gentle smile hanging on his face. “It doesn’t hurt.”

“You aren’t hurting… but I’m hurting!” The girl was hysterical.

“Worriless… I will get you out of here,” the man promised after a moment of silence.

“Ji Xiuran, I would like to see how you will be able to walk out of here alive!” Li Chun leaped up, his dagger ferociously directed toward Worriless Nie.

Ji Xiuran instantly spun around.

The dagger pierced into Ji Xiuran’s chest.

“Li Chun, do you think… you’ve won?” the man asked apathetically.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
