Chapter 25 After consideration, I am not satisfied, so I have decided to kill you!
Ok?
Li Xiuyuan's obvious answer surprised everyone present.
After all, in their view, Li Xiuyuan had slaughtered the entire Li family and seriously injured Lin Shuang, who came from Yunzhou City.
They should have been executed on the spot, or even had their bodies hung on the city walls of Yuanguang.
But the city lord gave him a chance: if he released Young Master Lin, he could leave Yuanguang City.
But Li Xiuyuan refused such a favor!
"Heh... No? Li Xiuyuan, you have no other choice. You have committed such a serious crime in Yuanguang City. As the city lord of Yuanguang City, I have the right to kill you on the spot."
The only reason I'm giving you this chance is because of Young Master Lin Shuang.
Shen Jiyue was shocked that Li Xiuyuan's strength had increased so much in such a short time.
However, she did not take Li Xiuyuan seriously. It was rumored that the cultivation technique that Shangguan Xiuhong brought out from the Shangguan family was a top secret technique of the Shangguan family, and even clansmen were not allowed to practice it.
There are also many rumors and speculations about this technique.
One of them is that it is an evil technique that can absorb the internal energy of others and use it for one's own benefit.
That is why the twenty-odd corpses of the city guards I just saw on the street had no trace of internal energy left in their bodies.
In addition, there was the information she had gathered about Li Xiuyuan over the past two days.
That possibility just popped into my head!
At this moment, she was certain that the cultivation technique left behind by Shangguan Xiuhong, which Li Xiuyuan practiced, must be the kind of evil technique that could absorb other people's internal energy.
Only in this way can we explain why Li Xiuyuan was able to go from an unranked martial artist to the current peak of the eighth rank in just three days!
But she was the city lord.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to bow down to Li Xiuyuan.
Moreover, when she saw that the Li family members had all been killed, she grabbed Li Xiuyuan, who was threatening Lin Shuang.
She found Li Xiuyuan's actions utterly ridiculous.
He's still too young, lacks experience in the ways of the world, doesn't know how to be patient, and is impulsive and hot-blooded!
Since such a terrifying technique exists, one only needs to endure a little time to cultivate it to the seventh rank, or even the sixth rank. When one returns to Yuanguang City, almost no one will be able to defeat him.
Even if they were to crush Lin Shuang, the Lin family of Yunzhou would still have to consider whether they were going to offend a sixth-rank martial artist with evil skills.
But now...
Li Xiuyuan looked at Shen Jiyue in front of him.
He could naturally see something in her eyes, but Li Xiuyuan didn't want to guess at the moment.
The city lord of Yuanguang City simply wanted to take this opportunity to befriend Lin Shuang.
And perhaps they're also secretly plotting to learn the "Absorption Technique".
Now that she has almost wiped out the Li family, all she needs to do is solve Lin Shuang's problem; her own life or death is actually not important.
She can take over all of the Li family's businesses and resources in Yuan Guangcheng.
No matter what, she won't lose out!
But Li Xiuyuan just sneered.
"Lord Shen, I will also give you a chance."
Are you sure you want to completely offend me for this idiot?
Ok?
His eyes narrowed as he looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was holding Lin Shuang and staring at him with a cold smile, showing no fear or panic whatsoever.
Those eyes didn't look like those of an eighteen-year-old who hadn't yet ventured into the world of martial arts.
At this moment, Shen Jiyue even sensed a strong fighting spirit in those eyes.
"presumptuous!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you spout such nonsense! Give the city lord a chance."
"Lord, let me kill this arrogant scoundrel!"
Before Shen Jiyue could even speak, the city guard leaders standing beside her could no longer contain themselves.
One by one, they stepped forward, waiting for Shen Jiyue to nod before rushing forward to hack Li Xiuyuan to death with a flurry of blows.
Faced with the angry roars of these people, Li Xiuyuan was not angry. He just smiled coldly and tightened his grip on Lin Shuang's hand slightly.
"Ah... Lord Shen, save me... save me!"
Shen Jiyue also frowned, looking coldly at Li Xiuyuan.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Release Lin Shuang. This is my order..."
"Ah... Lord Shen, please stop talking, please... save me! If you can get him to release me, you will be my savior from now on."
He felt the hand gripping him tighten as Shen Jiyue spoke.
That feeling of death was one step closer to me.
Lin Shuang immediately struggled to speak.
"Li Xiuyuan, what do you want in return for releasing Young Master Lin? If you release Young Master Lin, I guarantee you can leave Yuanguang City safely, and I won't let anyone stop you."
Upon hearing Shen Jiyue's words, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile calmly.
Then, looking at Lin Shuang, whom he was holding in his hand, he didn't expect that Lin Shuang would make Shen Jiyue care so much.
"Li Xiuyuan, brother... you said before that as long as I tell you everything I know and write down the cultivation technique from memory, you'll let me go. You..."
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's cold, scrutinizing gaze, Lin Shuang immediately trembled.
Suddenly, a strong palpitation made him instinctively struggle.
"I did say that, but what I meant was 'consider'."
Clearly, you haven't satisfied me, so after considering it... I've decided...
At this point, Li Xiuyuan paused for a moment, and then the hand that was grabbing Li Xiuyuan suddenly tightened its grip.
"I'll kill you!"
The sudden activation of the Absorption Technique caused Lin Shuang, who was already severely injured and on the verge of death, to feel her body rapidly weakening if it weren't for the support of her internal energy.
Even though he struggled frantically, it was all in vain.
"Ah...no..."
In the end, it only let out a weak, mournful cry before its body quickly slumped to the ground.
The severed right leg, now free from the suppression of internal force, immediately gushed blood.
"Li Xiuyuan, how dare you..."
Standing there, Shen Jiyue never expected that Li Xiuyuan would kill someone without giving any conditions.
Some of them didn't quite realize what was happening.
By the time she stepped forward, intending to forcibly save Lin Shuang, it was already too late.
It absorbed the last bit of Lin Shuang's internal energy. Although it was thin and dim, and almost completely depleted, it was better than nothing.
But it extinguished all of Lin Shuang's hopes for survival.
Faced with Shen Jiyue's attack, Li Xiuyuan threw Suizhou away.
Immediately, Lin Shuang's bleeding body flew towards Shen Jiyue.
Upon seeing Lin Shuang flying towards her, Shen Jiyue immediately turned her palm into a claw, grabbed Lin Shuang's body, and then supported her.
"Young Master Lin, you..."
"Pfft pfft..."
At this moment, Lin Shuang's eyes were wide open as he looked at Shen Jiyue, seemingly wanting to say something, but streams of blood gushed from his mouth, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
Lin Shuang, who was already on the verge of death, had his internal energy drained and was bleeding profusely from his severed leg, causing his life to rapidly decline to zero.
Almost as soon as Shen Jiyue caught him and helped him squat down, and just as she opened her mouth, Lin Shuang trembled all over, his eyes, which remained open in death, slanted to the side, and he died on the spot!
