Chapter 259 Respect

"True Spirit!" The person who exclaimed this time was the middle-aged swordsman.

Ye Hongjian's cultivation was very clear to him. It was only the Nether Opening Realm, how could such a realm condense a True Spirit?

Only then did this question arise, and the swordsman suddenly felt that Ye Hongjian's name sounded familiar.

Then, his expression changed. He suddenly remembered that Ye Hongjian was the daughter of the Marquis of Ning Country, Ye Chengtai. A rare genius who was accepted into the sect by an immortal?

It was rumored that she had forged a rare purple pill in the Pill Yang Realm.

With this purple pill, it wasn't difficult for her to form a so-called True Spirit in the Netherpassage Realm.

Many of the rules and principles in this world were so insignificant in front of this rare Purple Pill.

Gulu.

The swordsman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a wisp of uneasiness arose in his heart.

He stared at the divine bird behind Ye Hongjian, whose entire body was burning with flames. It wasn't difficult to see that the True Spirit was much stronger than the python behind him in terms of completeness and grade. Although it sounded unbelievable, at that time, he truly felt a sense of fear towards this woman whose cultivation was even inferior to his.

The swordsman's expression fell into Ye Hongjian's eyes. She smiled faintly and was about to wave the sword in her hand. But at that moment, a hand suddenly reached out and pressed down on her hand that held the sword.

"Huh?" Ye Hongjian was stunned. She instinctively activated the true essence in her body to shake off the owner of that hand.

But at the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

It was a youth holding a scarlet sword and a black cat in his arms.

The corners of the youth's mouth were still dripping with fresh blood, and his clothes were also damaged, but he was still unaware of this.

"Xiao Han" Ye Hongjian was stunned. She did not understand why Xu Han would stop her.

However, Xu Han did not immediately answer her doubts. He only handed the black cat in his hand, whose aura was dispirited, to Ye Hongjian.

Ye Hongjian quickly understood what he meant. She hesitated a little, but this hesitation quickly dissipated when she touched the youth's gaze.

Something shone in the youth's eyes.

It was like a flame, but it was a hundred times hotter than a flame.

It was like a blizzard, but it was even colder than a blizzard.

It was a determination.

A thousand people blocked, a thousand people's heads fell, ten thousand people blocked, ten thousand people's souls flew with determination.

"Be careful." Ye Hongjian's worries and hesitation were melted by the determination in the youth's eyes. She obediently took the black cat and sheathed the sword. After giving a soft order, she retreated to one side and stood side by side with Fang Ziyu.

This kind of change had once again exceeded the swordsman's expectations. He was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.

" Manor Chief Xu is truly courageous. I admire him." He exclaimed in admiration, but his tone was full of ridicule.

Originally, it was not an easy task for him to take down Ye Hongjian, and he might even lose to the other party because of this. With the secret he had just learned, losing meant death.

However, Xu Han's sudden attack gave him some leeway to turn the situation around. If he handled it properly, he could even capture Xu Han alive and use this as a threat to escape from Tiance Prefecture. Thinking of this, the man's mood instantly improved. A wisp of greed also ignited in his gaze as he looked at Xu Han. He knew that as long as he could successfully escape from Tiance Prefecture, the countless wealth of the soldiers waiting for him would be countless.

Xu Han didn't show the slightest bit of anger at the middle-aged swordsman's mockery.

He only looked at the man. At that time, the scarlet sword in his hand was gently lifted and placed across his chest. Then, he said this.

"You have to die."

His gaze was very calm, so calm that it was almost deathly silent. It was as if in his eyes, the man in front of him was already a dead man.

His tone was also very calm, so calm that it was almost certain. It was as if what he said was not some kind of appeal, but more like an established fact.

The man did not like his gaze and tone.

He felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation and contempt.

He was very dissatisfied with this, or rather very angry.

Thus, he decided that before capturing Xu Han alive, he would let the Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master feel a sense of humiliation.

…

"Is this really good?" Fang Ziyu looked at the situation on the field and said worriedly. She was very puzzled why Ye Hongjian agreed to let Xu Han, who was already seriously injured, fight against that Heavenly Hunt Realm expert again.

At least in her eyes, Xu Han of the Three Elements Realm was no match for a Heavenly Hunt Realm swordsman who had already condensed a prototype True Spirit no matter what, and Xu Han's previous encounter had proved this point very well.

"He wants to avenge Xuan'er. This is his dignity as a man." Ye Hongjian looked at the two people on the field and said without turning her head.

"Hmm? But he will be killed by that person! Is it important for him to have a life with dignity?" Fang Ziyu obviously could not accept Ye Hongjian's words. She said loudly and eagerly.

"Ziyu?"

"Huh?"

"Do you know why you liked Chen Xuanji for so long without any results?" Ye Hongjian did not seem to feel the anxiety in Fang Ziyu's heart at all. She asked a question that had nothing to do with the stalemate.

"What?" Fang Ziyu obviously did not expect Ye Hongjian to say such words at this moment. She was slightly stunned and did not have the mood to respond to the other party's question.

"Because you're not reserved enough."

"Sometimes women should learn to stand behind men." However, Ye Hongjian did not care whether she responded or not and continued to speak.

"Then could it be that you just watched Xu die at his hands?" Fang Ziyu blushed and questioned loudly, not knowing whether it was because of the pain in the center or because he was too worried about the situation on the field.

Facing the somewhat irritable Fang Ziyu, Ye Hongjian's attitude was much calmer.

"Of course not." She shook her head indifferently, her expression firm and confident. "I will make my move before Xiao Han loses."

"Count carefully. Every wound he has left on Xiao Han's body will be returned to him ten times before he dies under my sword."

Ye Hongjian's calm tone was almost the same as when Xu Han had just spoken.

It was so calm that no one could doubt her determination at this moment.

Fang Ziyu was stunned. For some reason, she felt that the Ye Hongjian in front of her was somewhat unfamiliar, somewhat frighteningly unfamiliar.

At that time, Ye Hongjian turned to look at her. The girl dressed in red suddenly smiled, as if flowers were blooming on the ground, and the moon was full in the snow.

Even Fang Ziyu, who was also a woman, couldn't help but be stunned by the beautiful scenery.

Ye Hongjian's gentle voice suddenly echoed in her ears again.

"Before this happens, fulfilling a man's dignity is the best restraint for a woman."
