Chapter 1611: Bludgeoning the Golden Armor Man to Death

The instant Li Li Lingjing's staff shadow, brimming with killing intent, swung down and directly blasted apart that Golden Armor man's head, hard as iron and steel, the Blood Sea Domain seemed to fall into a momentary deathly stillness.

Especially Shen Shen Jinxiao, the wild laughter that had surged across his face abruptly froze at this moment, and a thick dread and disbelief welled up in his eyes.

He could not understand that Li Li Lingjing's fatal staff strike had actually been aimed at the Golden Armor man!

Why?!

Clearly, if she had seized the chance while Li Luo was bound by the Golden Armor man, that strike would have been enough to grievously wound Li Luo!

What is this crazy woman doing?!

And while Shen Shen Jinxiao's heart was raging in fury to the extreme, Jiang Jiang Qinge did not show him any courtesy. The Sacred Phoenix Umbrella in her hand raised a clear, resonant phoenix cry, and pure, holy to the utmost light-attribute phase force surged into it like a tide. The next instant, a massive Sacred Fire Phoenix spear radiance swept forth with the momentum of a prairie fire, slashing toward Shen Shen Jinxiao.

This spear strike was sharp and domineering to the extreme, even purifying a large section of the blood sea below in an instant.

Still caught in the furious shock brought by Li Li Lingjing's sudden betrayal, Shen Shen Jinxiao came to his senses with a start. The pitch-black demon banner in his hand hastily activated, and a vast blood river stretched across the heavens. From within the blood river, a giant skeletal hand inscribed with countless bizarre runes stretched out, the giant hand flowing with the aura of Origin power, as if it were a king's skeletal hand.

Boom!

The giant skeletal hand collided with the Sacred Fire Phoenix spear radiance, splashing out countless energy light rainbows, dazzling like a sky full of stars.

Shen Shen Jinxiao's figure retreated rapidly, while the pitch-black demon banner in his hand spewed out blood-red thick fog to shield his body, resisting the light-attribute phase force that came eroding toward him.

And only now did he turn his extremely gloomy face toward Li Li Lingjing's direction and say sharply, "Green Snake, have you gone mad? Are you going to betray the Guiyi Society?!"

Facing Shen Shen Jinxiao's furious questioning, Li Li Lingjing slowly withdrew the Green Bamboo Green Snake Staff in her hand, with pitch-black blood dripping from it. There was no emotion whatsoever on her exotic, bewitching cheeks. She casually wiped away the blood staining one side of her cheek, not knowing whether it was mixed with the Golden Armor man's brains...

But Li Li Lingjing clearly did not care about such things; she had no mysophobia.

She said lightly, "Shen Shen Jinxiao, do you know what my name is?"

Shen Shen Jinxiao's gaze was gloomy. Naturally, he did not know Li Li Lingjing's name, only that she usually went by the code name Green Snake, and this was not important either. People in the Guiyi Society all had their own stories, and it was normal not to like revealing their original names, so Shen Shen Jinxiao had never thought about it.

"My name is Li Li Lingjing."

Shen Shen Jinxiao's pupils contracted slightly. Li Li Lingjing? Surnamed Li?

"You're not wrong. I was originally also from Li Li Tianwang's branch. In terms of seniority, I'm Li Luo's older female cousin." Li Li Lingjing lightly shook the Green Bamboo Green Snake Staff in her hand, shaking off the black blood remaining on it.

Shen Shen Jinxiao let out an angry laugh and said, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship with Li Luo, but so what? What seniority, what older cousin—after you entered the Guiyi Society, all of that no longer matters. Li Li Lingjing, your hands are already dirty, and Li Li Tianwang's branch will not acknowledge a traitor like you!"

"You disgusting thing, despised by all, and you still fantasize about receiving your clansmen's recognition? What utter self-deception."

Facing Shen Shen Jinxiao's mocking words, Li Li Lingjing's expression did not ripple at all. She merely said casually, "I don't need Li Li Tianwang's branch's recognition and acceptance of me. As long as I have Li Luo, that's enough."

Though the words were clearly rather ambiguous, when they fell into the ears of the few people present, not a trace of emotion between a man and a woman could be detected.

"Shen Shen Jinxiao, if you want to go kill other people, I don't care, and I'm even quite happy to cooperate with you. But unfortunately, you shouldn't have come to kill Li Luo."

"If you kill him, what do I do?"

Her snake-like ice-cold and indifferent pupils, brimming with bone-piercing killing intent, stared at Shen Shen Jinxiao as she said in a ghostly voice, "At that time, I would die too."

"What you have done—this is a feud of destroying one's Dao that will only end when one of us is dead."

Shen Shen Jinxiao said darkly, "Li Li Lingjing, if you do this, the lords within the Guiyi Society will not let you off."

"The dead don't need to think too much." Li Li Lingjing said indifferently, clearly not caring about Shen Shen Jinxiao's threat. Her willpower was so firm that, having chosen to act now, she naturally would not waver in the slightest.

Seeing this, Shen Shen Jinxiao understood that Li Li Lingjing was determined to help Li Luo deal with him. His face twitched immediately, and his heart was furious to the extreme. Originally, he had calculated that with the three of them working together on this trip, three against two, there was an overwhelming certainty of taking down Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge. But who would have thought that among these three, there would actually be a mole!

Although it was still three against two, the positions had been swapped.

And now that the Golden Armor man had been grievously wounded by Li Li Lingjing's sneak attack, the situation instantly became one against three?

"Shen Shen Jinxiao, it seems that in this game, you've played yourself to death." Li Luo spoke up at this moment, his gaze coldly fixed on Shen Shen Jinxiao, killing intent surging in his eyes.

The six Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms above his head erupted with vast phase force, the golden Sacred Phase Crystal Core between his brows also flowing with divine light, and the Dragon Xuanhuang Spear in his hand pointed at Shen Shen Jinxiao from afar.

Jiang Jiang Qinge's figure appeared behind Shen Shen Jinxiao. The Sacred Phoenix Umbrella in her hand slowly rose, and at the spear tip, liquid-like Sacred Flame flowed, emanating the power of light's Origin.

And the "Extreme Evil Evil Seed" between Li Li Lingjing's brows flowed with black light. Her delicate, curvaceous body underwent a change at this moment—her lower half actually transformed into a pitch-black snake tail, the pitch-black snake scales emitting a cold, sinister luster, making her appear even more demonic.

The three of them sealed off all of Shen Shen Jinxiao's escape routes.

Three against one.

In this situation, Shen Shen Jinxiao had undoubtedly fallen into an absolute desperate situation. After all, with his strength, at most he could only match one person, and with three attacking together, normally speaking, he would undoubtedly die.

"Li Luo, oh Li Luo, I truly regret that back then at the Sacred Mystic Star Academy, I didn't just find some random chance to crush you to death directly."

In his desperate situation, Shen Shen Jinxiao let out a sigh that had echoed in the depths of his heart countless times. Back when Li Luo first entered the Sacred Mystic Star Academy, in his eyes he was really no better than an ant. If he had acted back then, Li Luo truly would not have had the slightest chance of survival. But instead, for the sake of plotting Jiang Jiang Qinge's Light Heart, he gave Li Luo the chance to grow.

And now, he had repeatedly been forced into desperate situations by him.

"Mm, to thank you for your carelessness, I will grind your bones and scatter your ashes to the winds." Li Luo nodded and said casually.

Hearing this, Shen Shen Jinxiao suddenly let out a laugh, his smile somewhat eerie.

"Li Luo, don't be too pleased with yourself. In this world, it's not only you who has prepared a backup plan."

"In today's game, who wins and who loses is still undecided!"

Li Li Lingjing's betrayal was indeed not within Shen Shen Jinxiao's expectations, but on this trip, he had not truly regarded the Golden Armor man and Li Li Lingjing as his final moves.

"Li Li Lingjing, don't think the Guiyi Society's 'Extreme Evil Evil Seed' is bestowed casually. Before setting out on this trip, I received guidance from Void Li Tianwang. Among the three of us, only one can survive!"

"Now that you've helped me grievously wound the Golden Armor man, let's just advance this ritual by one step!"

Shen Shen Jinxiao's face was ferocious. He bit his finger, fresh blood flowing out, then formed a hand seal, and his finger suddenly plunged into the black crack between his brows, then violently tore it apart.

Squelch!

Accompanying a piercing squelch, Shen Shen Jinxiao's head was directly split open by him along the crack between his brows as the dividing line.

This scene was bloody and terrifying.

However, as Shen Shen Jinxiao's head was split open from the middle, no fresh blood flowed out, because the head was actually empty inside, with only a pitch-black heart slowly beating within.

That heart now began to beat frantically at an accelerated pace, and a piece of paper talisman, pitch-black as ink yet emanating an eerie aura, slowly emerged from within the heart.

This bizarre scene also made Li Luo slightly startled. The next instant, the three of them suddenly activated their own vast phase force, transforming it into sharp offensive strikes, and directly bombarded toward the pitch-black heart within Shen Shen Jinxiao's head.

But the pitch-black paper talisman rippled out a faint halo, actually neutralizing all three of their attacks.

Immediately after, the paper talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, transforming into a pitch-black liquid that merged into the heart.

Countless blood threads extended from within the heart, piercing into Shen Shen Jinxiao's flesh. The latter's body rapidly withered at an alarming speed, finally melting into a puddle of blood, and the blood was entirely absorbed by the pitch-black heart.

In that brief instant, Shen Shen Jinxiao's physical body vanished, leaving only a pitch-black heart, its surface crawling with countless bizarre runes, pulsing slowly above the sea of blood.

"Come, Li Li Lingjing, Jin Jia — fuse with my Evil Seed, and help me become king!"

From within that pitch-black heart, Shen Shen Jinxiao's frenzied, howling voice rang out.

The eerie heartbeat, like a war drum, echoed across the sky above the sea of blood.
