Swish!
As Jiang Wuming's voice sounded again, Li Lianyi's gaze instantly shifted from her phone to the front.
Following her gaze, it was clear that the mountain forest ahead seemed to be swept by a hurricane, the trees in the forest swaying with the wind, creating an astonishing momentum.
Seeing this scene, Li Lianyi's despair and helplessness vanished without a trace, replaced by excitement!
Because, she knew, the moment she had been desperately waiting for had finally arrived!
Just as she was stepping into the gates of hell, the young man arrived like the wind!
Swish!
At the same time, the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain turned around again, looking behind him, his expression changing drastically!
Because he not only saw the terrifying scene caused by the young man arriving like the wind, but also sensed the young man's aura!
And when the young man first spoke, the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain did not sense any martial artist aura around.
In fact, this was true.
Because, at that time, Jiang Wuming had concealed his aura.
To be precise, when Jiang Wuming tracked according to Li Lianyi's phone's location and sensed the aura of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, he had concealed his aura.
The reason for this was that he could hear the sound of the wind through his phone, and could also distinguish the breathing sounds of Li Lianyi and the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain amidst the wind.
This led him to judge that Li Lianyi was not in immediate danger.
Under such circumstances, he, like a noble traveling incognito at night, silently traversed the mountain forest, approaching the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain and Li Lianyi.
Until just now...
The burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain was about to act against Li Lianyi!
Jiang Wuming did not have clairvoyance and could not see everything that had just happened.
He was merely analyzing and predicting the situation through the conversation between Li Lianyi and the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain.
When the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain saw through Li Lianyi's thoughts and Li Lianyi stopped speaking, Jiang Wuming knew that Li Lianyi was on the verge of life and death!
But he had not yet fully approached the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain and could not rescue her in time!
For this reason, he spoke at the critical moment, attracting the attention of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, and buying himself time.
And when the burly man from beyond the domain became enraged, believing that Li Lianyi was toying with him, Jiang Wuming was still not within striking distance.
For this reason, he let out a low roar and simultaneously released his aura, intending to catch the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain off guard, shock him, and buy himself more time.
Everything was proceeding as he had envisioned!
Like Li Lianyi, he maintained absolute calmness at the critical moment, perfectly controlling the psychology of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, and indirectly manipulating the actions of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain.
"You... damn native!"
After a brief moment of shock, the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain realized he had been tricked, became instantly enraged, and then turned around.
Although he could sense that Jiang Wuming's aura was at the peak of the second-star War God stage, he knew that if Jiang Wuming got close, he would surely die!
But as he had said before, he had long prepared himself for death, so he did not choose to flee. Instead, he wanted to kill Li Lianyi before his death, making Li Lianyi accompany him to the underworld!
In death, he wanted a scapegoat!
This was the only thought in the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain's mind after being enraged.
Huh?
After turning around, the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain found that Li Lianyi had already run several meters away.
Upon learning that Jiang Wuming had arrived, she seized the opportunity when the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain was stunned and fled with all her might!
"You despicable and treacherous bitch, die for me!!"
After a brief daze, the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain roared, then sprang from the ground, lunging towards Li Lianyi.
Just then...
Behind the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, that terrifying storm had moved from afar to near.
At the center of the storm, two beams of white light shot out from Jiang Wuming's eyes, precisely striking the back of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain's head.
Mental attack!
When the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain's mentality completely collapsed and he once again attacked Li Lianyi, Jiang Wuming, while continuing to rapidly approach the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, activated his mental attack!
In an instant, Jiang Wuming's mental power entered the mental world of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, transforming into a flying sword and launching an assassination!
The burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain had just rushed behind Li Lianyi and was about to raise his right arm to slap Li Lianyi to death when he was attacked by Jiang Wuming's mental flying sword, causing his body to pause.
At the same time, in his mental world, he let out an angry roar and punched out, like swinging an iron hammer, fiercely smashing Jiang Wuming's mental flying sword.
However—
Although the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain had neutralized Jiang Wuming's mental attack, he did not continue to attack Li Lianyi.
Not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't—his back neck was grabbed by Jiang Wuming's right hand!
Jiang Wuming used his mental attack to interfere and prevent the enemy from beyond the domain from attacking Li Lianyi again, while also using the last bit of time to pounce behind the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain and grab his neck!
Then, Jiang Wuming's right hand exerted force, directly pressing the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain to the ground with a muffled "bang."
"No need to run, it's alright now."
After finishing all this, Jiang Wuming looked at Li Lianyi, who was running with all her might, and said.
Huh?
Hearing Jiang Wuming's words, Li Lianyi abruptly stopped.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Li Lianyi breathed heavily, then slowly turned around.
The next moment.
Her pupils suddenly dilated.
Because she saw that the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, who had looked fierce and menacing in front of her, was now like a dead dog, being held by Jiang Wuming and dragged on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Seeing the girl turn around, Jiang Wuming spoke again, his face filled with self-reproach.
Although he had saved Li Lianyi, he knew that if Li Lianyi hadn't been calm and resourceful enough, she might have already suffered a terrible fate at the hands of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, and would have experienced a girl's most horrific nightmare!
Moreover, even as he approached in the end, if Li Lianyi hadn't cleverly distanced herself from the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, he might not have been able to save Li Lianyi with 100% certainty!
Li Lianyi's survival was half due to her own self-rescue!
"Not late, just right."
Hearing Jiang Wuming's words again, Li Lianyi shifted her gaze from the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, who was like a dead dog, to Jiang Wuming.
At this moment, unlike an ordinary girl, she did not cry or shed tears weakly; her eyes did not even turn red.
She simply smiled and shook her head gently at the young man.
She knew that the young man had done his best!
She also knew that the young man had combined his strength and wisdom perfectly to save her.
Neither was dispensable!
Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Jiang Wuming suddenly felt an inexplicable heartache.
He couldn't imagine how strong a heart the girl must have to be able to smile at him after experiencing what had just happened.
Then, he saw the red marks on the girl's neck. Along with his heartache, his anger instantly erupted!
Because he knew those were caused by the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain squeezing the girl's neck just now!
"You... damn native..."
At the same time, the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain roared and struggled frantically on the ground.
However—
As soon as he began to roar, he was interrupted by a cold voice.
"You squeezed her neck like this just now, right?"
Jiang Wuming's right hand tightly gripped the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain's neck, lifting him up, and asked in a cold voice.
There was no answer, and no answer could be given.
The burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain instantly sensed that Jiang Wuming had increased the force on his hand, making it impossible for him to breathe, and his face instantly turned red!
He subconsciously waved his arms, clenching his fists and slamming them at Jiang Wuming.
However—
His fists stopped halfway.
"Crack!"
"Pfft—"
Two sounds rang out almost simultaneously, breaking the silence of the mountain forest.
The burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain's neck snapped, his head separating from his body, and hot blood spurted into the sky like a blooming blood flower!
He was decapitated by Jiang Wuming, dying tragically on the spot!
The blood splattered, and was dispersed by the true energy emanating from Jiang Wuming's body, not a single drop falling on Jiang Wuming.
Swish!
Jiang Wuming, as if discarding trash, dropped the head of the burly man in the black robe from beyond the domain, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Li Lianyi.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have killed someone in front of you, but when I thought about how he treated you, I wanted to blow his head off!"
Jiang Wuming looked at the marks on the girl's neck and said involuntarily.
"I don't mind."
Li Lianyi gazed into Jiang Wuming's clear black eyes, smiled slightly, and felt a sense of bliss fill her heart.
To her, Jiang Wuming's words just now were the most beautiful confession in the world!
