Although Duan Shaoyang had been controlling the Elemental Energy in his body, the results were minimal. He realized that he could no longer control the initiative anymore.

Boom!

Just like a raging wave, Duan Shaoyang was directly flung out, without any strength to retaliate.

Duan Shaoyang tried to stabilize himself, but he failed.

At this point, Duan Shaoyang was no longer able to hear the sound of his own breathing, and all he could hear were the furious roars of the Sword Qi.

Duan Shaoyang's vision became completely blurry, he was unable to discern his position, and even more so, he did not know where he was headed to.

He felt that he had already left the City Lord's Mansion and arrived in an extremely cold place.

This was the first time Duan Shaoyang had tasted such a sensation.

Duan Shaoyang tried to stabilize his emotions, but he was already unable to change anything.

Ah!

As Duan Shaoyang fell from mid air, layer after layer of dust covered his body, he was no longer able to move.

Even if Duan Shaoyang still had the Elemental Energy in his body, he would not be able to unleash it.

Be it his chest or his four limbs, all of them had received an attack, and the numbness in his entire body had already numbed Duan Shaoyang.

After a long while, the furious roars of the Sword Qi slowly dispersed and Duan Shaoyang's line of sight gradually became clear.

Duan Shaoyang immediately looked around. At this very moment, the place he was truly at was no longer within the City Lord's Mansion of the Zhong Yuan City.

Duan Shaoyang's five senses were twisted together and his emotions were thrown into disarray.

Under the cover of layers of dust, he was like a sapling that had been planted deep within a tree. His hands, however, could still move slightly.

The darkness of the night was still lingering outside the city and the cries of the Strange Beast continued to resound from there.

At this time, a pair of cold yet familiar footsteps floated along with the wind to Duan Shaoyang's ears.

Duan Shaoyang looked towards the direction where the footsteps were coming from, and sure enough, it was Li Xie.

Li Xie held onto the Nine Souls Sword, but his eyes did not reveal any killing intent.

When Li Xie walked to Duan Shaoyang's side, he saw a trace of unwillingness in Duan Shaoyang's eyes, but it was not enough to cover up the gloominess in Duan Shaoyang's eyes.

Duan Shaoyang tried his best to smile, he did not want to see the complacent smile on Li Xie's face.

But he had underestimated Li Xie, so Li Xie did not feel that defeating him was something worth being proud of.

Duan Shaoyang, just whose subordinate are you? Li Xie looked at Duan Shaoyang and asked.

Do you think I would? Duan Shaoyang glanced at Li Xie and asked a question in reply.

Are you sure you won't tell? Li Xie squatted beside Duan Shaoyang and asked again.

If he wanted to kill, he would kill. If he wanted to cut her up, he would cut her up! Duan Shaoyang resolutely replied.

Since Duan Shaoyang had already said so, Li Xie was not going to give him a chance to live.

It was already the middle of the night, so the Strange Beast in the forest must be hungry.

With Duan Shaoyang's body, it would be enough for a few Strange Beast s to fill their stomachs. Let's just treat it as Duan Shaoyang's compensation, for his hands to be drenched in blood.

"Hiss …"

Li Xie's speed of swinging the sword was very fast, Duan Shaoyang's Martial Veins were instantly cut, without a single trace remaining.

Duan Shaoyang clenched his teeth tightly, just to not let himself scream out in pain.

But a pair of cold hands closed around his throat, choking him.

Duan Shaoyang could clearly feel the Elemental Energy in his body dissipating. He wanted to reach out and grab them with his hands, but he couldn't do it.

Duan Shaoyang turned his face to look at Li Xie, but there was still no emotion in his eyes.

Even if you didn't tell me, I could still find him! Li Xie said resolutely.

Even though I lost to you, his strength is far above mine. I can't even compare to a single thumb of his. Duan Shaoyang said lifelessly.

Since you said so, I want to see his elegance even more! Li Xie said as the corner of his mouth rose.

Li Xie, you must be crazy! Duan Shaoyang said in fear.

Close your eyes and rest for a while. The Strange Beast will follow your bloody scent and find your way here soon. Li Xie said.

Ah … No... Duan Shaoyang glared, immediately biting his tongue to commit suicide.

Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Duan Shaoyang's personality had left a deep impression on him.

Several hours later, the day once again arrived at the bustling Zhong Yuan City, the sunlight had already sprinkled all over the ground.

Many commoners had already prepared to move away from the Zhong Yuan City last night.

And inside the Zhong Yuan City, Han Jinshan was organizing the City Lord's Mansion together with the City Lord's Mansion warriors and servants.

After last night's destruction, the City Lord's Mansion was no longer the same face and it no longer had its former majesty.

A large section of the house had been emptied. The ground was filled with knife marks and sword marks, which varied greatly in their profoundness.

Not only that, Han Jinshan saw a look of worry on the face of the patrolling officers.

City Lord's Mansion was no longer the safest place within Zhong Yuan City City, which was only second to Su Mansion.

Han Jinshan sighed, his wounds had not recovered yet, but he was not worried about anything.

Every sect and clan of the Zhong Yuan City were moving. Some were looking for the whereabouts of Su Ding, while others were thinking of ways to deal with him.

From now on, Han Jinshan would have to be on his guard against even those who were a bit old following him.

Actually, he already knew that there were many different sects and families in the City Lord's Mansion, and right now, their masters would definitely ask them to do something.

Following the sound of footsteps from afar, Han Jinshan looked over.

The ones walking towards him were Li Xie and Sun Pei, who immediately walked over without any hesitation.

When Han Jinshan stood in front of Li Xie, he immediately saluted and thanked him.

Young Master Li, last night was really all thanks to you, otherwise I would already be in the Underworld. Han Jinshan frowned and said.

Mayor Han, no need to thank me! Li Xie cupped his fist and bowed towards Han Jingshan, and said.

Young Master Li, Miss Sun, let me speak with you. Right after he finished speaking, Han Jinshan walked quickly towards the study room.

Li Xie and Sun Pei followed closely behind Han Jinshan as they walked towards the direction of the study.

After last night's devastation, the City Lord's Mansion's study room lost its former elegance.

When Han Jinshan and Li Xie both entered the study, Han Jinshan swung his right arm and a door made from Elemental Energy s astonishingly appeared.

Han Jinshan's expression became a little solemn. He was about to say something very important.

He could not allow this matter to spread to the ears of the fourth person, or else he would be doomed to eternal damnation.

Han Jinshan turned and looked at Li Xie and Sun Pei. He saw a trace of doubt in their eyes.

Young Master Li, whose subordinate do you think Duan Shaoyang is? Han Jinshan suddenly asked.

I don't know, I don't know much about the big powers in the Zhong Yuan City City. Li Xie said calmly.

I feel that the only person who can order Duan Shaoyang to act for him is Su Ding! Han Jinshan said. His voice was very soft, but his tone was very heavy.

Han Jinshan's words surprised both Li Xie and his. Didn't Su Ding get kidnapped? How could he order Duan Shaoyang to act for him?

City Lord Han, do you mean that Old Master Su was not kidnapped by anyone and all of this was his scheme? Li Xie asked with rapt attention.

Mn, that's right, Su Ding did this because he wanted to let all the major powers in Zhong Yuan City City kill each other. Han Jinshan nodded and said.

Li Xie frowned. If it was really like this, then it could be seen how dark and terrifying Su Ding's thoughts were.
