Chapter 1409 - 1407: Why Don’t You Just Let It Out? Aren’t You Afraid of Suffocating?
Zhu Qilue curled the corner of his mouth slightly and laughed contemptuously and mockingly, slowly closing his eyes.
Ignoring them completely!
What is arrogance!
This is arrogance!
The cold, sharp sword is already held against his neck, just a flick and Zhu Qilue's head would fall.
Yet he remains unhurried, with a face full of disdain, not even sparing a glance at the opponent!
Completely treating the three thousand Chiyun soldiers like air!
Absolute disregard.
This is blatant provocation!
In the entire Five Elements Realm, no one dares to ignore the Chiyun soldiers, especially three thousand of them!
The Zhu Qilue before them treats them like non-existent air, making it clear this is humiliation and mockery!
"Zhu Qilue, what the hell do you want?! Do you want to die?!"
The leader of the Chiyun soldiers is furious, roaring like thunder at Zhu Qilue's attitude!
His arm trembles slightly, he truly feels an urge to chop off Zhu Qilue's head, but he holds back.
"Kill if you want, why waste so many words."
Zhu Qilue opens one eye, provocatively looking at the opponent, raising an eyebrow.
"You..."
The leader is so angry he can't even speak, his features twisted in rage.
"You really think I can't do anything to you?"
"If you have any courage, then let it out, aren't you afraid of holding it in until you die?"
"Zhu Qilue, don't be too arrogant."
"If you're going to act, then act. A grown man, hesitating and dithering, still claiming to be part of the Chiyun soldiers?"
Zhu Qilue uses every bit of sarcasm he can muster, looking at the opponent with a sidelong glance, his tone and expression extremely disdainful, treating the opponent as nothing.
His own life is in the hands of the opponent, yet he pays no heed.
He finds that his courage has grown bigger.
If it were before, he might have already been terrified. Although he wouldn't beg for mercy, he certainly wouldn't be as bold as he is now; at most, he would be too scared to speak.
But after having interacted with Lin Fan several times, he finds he has changed. Not only has his courage grown, but he speaks with more confidence, even his style has been influenced by Lin Fan, full of cold mockery, leaving the opponent with nothing to say but fuming in silence.
This skill is really impressive; although he lost in action, he cannot lose in words.
The leader's face turns red with anger, his eye corner twitching viciously.
"You're the one who pushed me to this point!"
He suddenly waves his hand behind him, and over a hundred Chiyun soldiers rush forward, weapons in hand, fierce and looking ready to act.
However.
The leader does not have them take action but instructs: "Go, search all around to see if there are traces of Zhu Ruoling! Since Zhu Qilue is here, the other two can't have gone far, especially since they're women, they should be easy to catch."
"Once you catch them, don't harm them, bring them back. We'll have some fun in front of Master Zhu and see if he can endure it. Hahaha!"
"Yes!"
The Chiyun soldiers accept the order, just about to turn and leave.
Zhu Qilue's eyes widen, not expecting this guy to be so malicious, unable to deal with him, and resorting to targeting Zhu Ruoling and the Divine Phoenix, simply despicable!
"If you have any guts, come after me! What's the point of attacking women, you bunch of beasts! Turns out every Chiyun soldier is a sissy, only daring to go after women, but not men. If this spreads, you'll be laughed at by everyone!"
"Curse, go ahead and curse, I want to see how much energy you have left." The leader, with a look of indifference, retracts the sword with a laugh and squats down with a smile.
Seeing the Chiyun soldiers behind him halt because of Zhu Qilue's words, his expression changes instantly, dissatisfied: "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and go!"
"Boss, do we really have to do this? Attacking women doesn't seem right... If word spreads, it'll damage our Chiyun soldiers' reputation. If the High Priest investigates, we'll be implicated..."
Among the Chiyun soldiers, there are still those who care about their reputation.
After all, this business is neither glorious nor respectable, and there's no wall in the world that is airtight. If they commit this dirty act today, it will be known one day.
And a thorn will be forever lodged in their hearts.
The leader directly walks over to the person speaking, kicking him to the ground decisively!
"What nonsense are you spouting! You don't speak, I don't speak, who else would know? Zhu Ruoling or the other woman? By the time they're driven mad, who'd believe what a madwoman says? As for this waste, dead men don't speak. After he watches the show, send him to meet King Yama."
"So, no one outside will ever know, understand?"
The person speaking nearly jumps out of his skin, not daring to argue, nodding like a pecking chick, in a panic.
"Enough, stop wasting time here. If they get away, I'll take your lives! Hurry up!"
The leader angrily kicks the person a few more times, chasing them off.
The others dare not disobey, hurriedly turning to leave.
In the next moment!
A terrifying shout suddenly comes from behind.
Everyone pauses, turning back, their faces turning pale.
They see Zhu Qilue, having somehow regained his strength, springing up from the ground, now strangling the leader's neck, a terrifying cold smile on his face.
"If you want to find someone, you need my permission first!"
The leader had never expected Zhu Qilue to still have strength. He had completely relaxed his guard just now, carelessly exposing his entire back to Zhu Qilue, which led to the current danger.
"You... what are you doing?"
"I'm not afraid of death, are you?"
"You... don't act foolishly! There are three thousand Chiyun soldiers here, if you kill me, you'll die too!"
"If I die, I'll drag you down with me."
"You... you..."
The leader is terrified, his features twisted, his scalp tingling. He never expected Zhu Qilue to be so unreasonable, not afraid of death in the slightest.
The three thousand Chiyun soldiers, seeing this scene, draw their weapons in unison, aiming them at Zhu Qilue.
Zhu Qilue laughs coldly and calmly says: "Dare you act?"
No one speaks, holding their breath, their hearts nearly stopping.
"Ling'er, you two, hurry and leave! The farther the better, never come back!" Zhu Qilue's eyes darken as he suddenly shouts.
Upon hearing this, the leader and the three thousand Chiyun soldiers are shocked, realizing Zhu Ruoling and the other woman are indeed hiding nearby!
Everyone is itching to pursue them.
But the leader is in Zhu Qilue's grasp, should they make any move, the leader might lose his life.
Thus.
The three thousand Chiyun soldiers can only hold back, eyes fierce, awaiting a better opportunity.
Zhu Qilue has no other options left!
If Zhu Ruoling and the others remain here, they will eventually be discovered by these beasts. And he can't discreetly inform them to leave, so he can only use this method to tell them to leave quickly.
As for himself, he has decided not to leave.
Zhu Ruoling and the others need time to escape; he'll trade his life for it!
Divine Phoenix and Zhu Ruoling hear Zhu Qilue's voice, exchange a glance, and cautiously emerge from the cave. They peek over the dirt hill, looking over, immediately shocked.
They never thought things would turn out like this. If they leave, Zhu Qilue will surely die.
"Brother!"
Unable to hold back, Zhu Ruoling calls out and rushes up the hill.
The three thousand Chiyun soldiers see someone standing on the distant hill, and chaos breaks out.
