158: Chapter 158 Luo Li: Qin Ge, I'm sorry...

The three Team Leaders of the Dragon Group possessed extraordinary strength; their moves were lethal, aiming straight for the vital points of the Leiming Sect members.

"Is the Dragon Group being too overbearing?!"

"We have intervened this time to save someone, not to kill."

"To try and take our lives right from the start, do you think our Leiming Sect is made of clay?!"

The three Elders of the Leiming Sect struck simultaneously, blasting the three Team Leaders of the Dragon Group away.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief.

Bang, bang, bang—

From a kilometer away, heavy sniper rifles fired bullets at them, intending to kill.

Instantly, electric arcs enveloped the three Elders of the Leiming Sect, and their Protective Aura overflowed to block the hidden attackers!

"Kill!"

The three from the Dragon Group looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination.

They also felt the order was a bit too cold-blooded.

But an order was an order.

Their duty was to follow orders.

The order they received was that if anyone dared to stop Luo Li from killing Ye Yan, they were to be killed on the spot.

Even the Hidden Sects were no exception!

Seeing that someone had intercepted the Leiming Sect members for her, Luo Li headed straight for the leading Third Elder of the Leiming Sect.

"Little girl, I said it, the Leiming Sect is protecting Ye Yan today!"

"You cannot kill him!"

"Even the Dragon Group cannot kill him!"

The Third Elder of the Leiming Sect threw a punch; his Body-Protecting Gang Qi crackled, lunging at Luo Li like a raging sea wave.

Whoosh—!

The qinggang sword slashed violently.

The Protective Aura was actually sliced right down the middle.

Luo Li's cold eyes were filled with loathing as the tip of her sword pointed straight at the Third Elder's heart.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Third Elder of the Leiming Sect reached out his hand; his entire palm was covered by a glove that looked like black silk. He grabbed the qinggang sword with his bare hand, and sparks flew from the constant friction.

"Get lost!"

Seeing Ye Yan fleeing, Luo Li struck a palm toward the Third Elder's chest from a distance.

Boom—

Accompanied by an explosion of cold air.

The Third Elder was sent flying; azure ice crystals were spreading across the right side of his chest.

"Old Eighth, come and help me!"

The Third Elder turned pale with fright and hurried to call for backup.

He had underestimated Luo Li's strength and was nearly seriously injured by her!

"Coming!"

The Eighth Elder pulled away from the Dragon Group and, together with the Third Elder, took the initiative to attack Luo Li.

Luo Li, who could have easily won against the Third Elder alone.

Now facing two Leiming Sect Elders working together, even with the power of the six martial sisters' Origins within her body, she couldn't achieve a total crush.

She was pinned down!

"This Elder said it, today, even if the King of Heaven himself comes, don't think about harming Ye Yan in the slightest!"

"You little girl, you have successfully enraged this Elder!"

The Third Elder's attacks became increasingly fierce.

He clearly had a heart for revenge!

Luo Li knocked back the two Leiming Sect Elders with sword strike after sword strike, but whenever she tried to chase the fleeing Ye Yan, she was repeatedly blocked.

Seeing Ye Yan run further and further away, Luo Li was anxious.

She had come this time to execute Ye Yan.

To avenge Qin Ge!

However, she was repeatedly blocked, and until now, she hadn't even dealt a fatal wound to Ye Yan.

With such incompetence, how could she face Qin Ge again?

What right did she have to talk big in front of Qin Ge about repaying his favor?

Qin Ge had lost an arm because of her.

The favor she owed was already difficult to repay.

Now, carrying the power of all seven martial sisters, she still couldn't kill Ye Yan.

When would she ever be able to clear her debt of gratitude to Qin Ge?

Would it have to be in the next life!?

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The intense unwillingness brewing in Luo Li's chest caused the azure Body-Protecting Gang Qi around her to ripple and undulate, eventually spreading outward.

"Not good!"

"This girl is using a secret technique!"

Seeing that things weren't right, the Third Elder of the Leiming Sect immediately pulled back.

In his view, Luo Li was already ridiculously strong; even with two Elders from the Leiming Sect working together, they were being suppressed.

Now that Luo Li was using a secret technique and burning her lifespan.

If they stayed any longer, Ye Yan might not die, but they would be killed by Luo Li first!

The four members of the Leiming Sect simultaneously left the battlefield by unspoken agreement and turned to run.

A Team Leader of the Dragon Group wanted to give chase but was stopped by another, "Don't pursue a cornered foe."

"Moreover, if they're intent on escaping, we won't be able to catch up!"

Swish!

As soon as the words fell, one sword light after another shot out rapidly.

The four Elders of the Leiming Sect who had fled over a hundred meters away, including the Third Elder, were all pierced through by the sword lights.

Then, before everyone's eyes.

The Elders of the Leiming Sect—just two of whom were enough to withstand three Dragon Team Leaders and dozens of snipers—had their bodies split in two from the head down in plain sight.

Their organs fell to the ground; the scene was too gruesome to behold.

Hiss—

Even the well-traveled Team Leaders of the Dragon Group couldn't help but gasp at the sight before them.

So strong!

With this kind of combat power.

Even if the Sect Master of the Leiming Sect were here, he would at most be at this level, right!?

The three of them looked at Luo Li, only to see that her three thousand strands of black hair were rapidly turning ash-white at a visible speed.

Her entire Aura was soaring as her hair turned white.

However, during this process of soaring, her breath was constantly fluctuating.

It caused her constitution to become unsteady.

Clearly, she was suffering a massive backlash.

Luo Li turned her head, her gaze fixed intently on Ye Yan, who had already fled over a kilometer away.

She wanted to give chase, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead, and she couldn't lift them at all.

She could only strike with her sword from a kilometer away.

Boom—

The Sword Qi howled like a blue dragon, heading straight for Ye Yan's vitals.

Seeing that Ye Yan was about to be dismembered,

Ye Yan, who looked back and saw the Sword Qi racing toward him from a kilometer away, was terrified; he completely lost the composure of the Dragon King, suddenly stumbled, and fell to the side.

Pfft!

The Sword Qi surged forward, slicing off one of the stumbling Ye Yan's arms, which flew high into the air. It then continued for a distance, shattering a massive parasol tree before kicking up waves several meters high in the lake behind the tree as the Sword Qi exploded!

"Slash!"

Luo Li unwillingly raised her arm again.

Pfft!

Before she could strike, Luo Li stumbled and spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, then lost her balance and collapsed to the ground.

"Second Senior Sister!"

Qin Huanhuan and the other girls, who were hiding nearby, rushed toward Luo Li.

Shangguan Yuer took Luo Li into her arms and, looking at her pale Second Senior Sister, roared angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to use the secret technique? Why did you still use it?"

"You have seven Origins in your body right now; by using the secret technique to burn your lifespan, the consumption is sevenfold!"

Those Origins that didn't belong to Luo Li only increased her combat power.

But when she used the secret technique to burn her lifespan to boost her cultivation, the lifespan consumed was seven times the original rate.

If she consumed ten years of her lifespan, it would be equivalent to losing seventy years!

She would die!

Qin Huanhuan said urgently, "Now in the entire Yunhai City, only Qin Ge can save Second Senior Sister!"

Luo Li shook her head, "I'm not going to see Qin Ge."

She knew her physical condition better than anyone; she had exhausted her foundation, rather than being injured.

She struggled to raise her hand, pointing in the direction where Ye Yan had fallen, her voice trembling with unquenchable rage, "Go... go kill him!"

Su Yaoyao rolled her eyes, "Ye Yan was scared off by you a long time ago!"

Ruan Xingrou chopped at Luo Li's fair neck with the side of her hand, but seeing that she couldn't knock her out and that Luo Li was staring at her with wide eyes, she felt a bit awkward. She then simply carried the immobile Luo Li on her shoulder and headed straight for Yunding Manor.

Along the way, Qin Huanhuan, Ruan Xingrou, Shangguan Yuer, and Su Yaoyao took turns carrying Luo Li.

In the congested downtown area, it took them less than half an hour to deliver Luo Li to Yunding Manor.

As soon as they saw Qin Ge opening the door, they shoved Luo Li into his arms and pleaded one after another, "Qin Ge, please, save Second Senior Sister!"

"She can't die, she shouldn't die!"

"Please save Second Senior Sister; no matter what request you make, we will agree to it!"

Qin Ge looked down at Luo Li in his arms, whose hair had completely turned white. He frowned and scolded, "Are you crazy? It's just an arm, why are you risking your life? It's not even your arm!"

Lying in Qin Ge's arms, Luo Li felt his warm chest and reached out to grab his empty sleeve. Her beautiful eyes were filled with gloom, and her heart felt inexplicably stifled and bitter.

When she looked up at Qin Ge again, her gaze was full of sorrow and sadness, and she murmured with uncontrollable regret, "Qin Ge, I'm sorry, I failed to kill Ye Yan for you..."
