Jiang Ci's eyes were gloomy and he looked coldly at the old Taoist priest in front of him.

"It seems that the one in the Imperial City couldn't wait any longer and actually sent you to kill me personally."

Taoist Wuji chuckled lightly: "Since Your Highness the Seventh Prince already knows the purpose of my coming here, then make a choice as soon as possible. I also want to know whether Your Highness's life is more important, his own life or the life of this girl!"

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Shu and said, "Let her go! I'll leave it to you to do whatever you want with her!"

"Your Highness, are you really willing to exchange your life for this woman? Think carefully, if you die, who will avenge the hatred of the late queen and the Feng family? Your Highness has been planning for more than ten years, are you really going to give up everything for a woman?"

Jiang Ci's hands hanging down by his side slowly tightened: "Stop talking nonsense, you just want my life, as long as you let her go, I will give it to you."

Wuji smiled and clapped his hands.

"Since Your Highness has made up his mind, then stab yourself to show your sincerity."

Yan Shu dissuaded him anxiously, trying desperately to break free from the ropes that bound his wrists: "No! Ah Ci, you can't do this!"

Returning to the capital for revenge has been Jiang Ci's lifelong wish. He has been planning for this since he was five years old. During the past ten years, he has endured the torture of severe poison and forced himself to study literature and martial arts with his weak body, all for the purpose of returning to the imperial city one day to clear the grievances of his mother who died unjustly.

How could he give up his own life to save her?

Jiang Ci smiled at Yan Shu soothingly.

"I've said before, Jiaojiao is my obsession. If only one of us can live, then I want to be selfish and choose you to live."

He didn't dare to think about how boring it would be for him to live alone in this world without her.

"No, Ah Ci, please don't do this. Think about everything you have carefully planned over the years. The late queen and the entire Feng family are still waiting for you to clear their grievances. I am not worthy of you doing this."

This was the first time that Yan Shu burst into tears, and also the first time that she hated herself so much. If she had not been captured by the old demon Wuji to threaten Jiang Ci, she would not have let Jiang Ci take the risk alone.

General Feng was right, an emperor cannot have weaknesses, but she became Jiang Ci's weakness.

A dagger slipped from Jiang Ci's sleeve, and he stabbed himself in the chest without hesitation. His brows furrowed slightly, but no sound came out from his tightly pursed lips. Bright red blood slowly flowed out along the handle of the dagger, instantly staining a large area of ​​his crescent-colored clothes red.

"A Ci!" Yan Shu struggled desperately to rush to Jiang Ci. Yuan An snorted coldly and grabbed her arm tightly.

“You silly girl, your hands and feet are tied but you still refuse to behave. To tell you the truth, Kumunai is the closest place to the Big Dipper and the center of Ziweiheng. I know Jiang Ci will not come here alone. Those guys from Qingyun Mountain and Jiang Ci’s shadow guards also followed. It’s a pity that they can’t help you. My master has already set up a barrier array here. Those old guys from Qingyun Mountain are no match for my master, and they don’t have the ability to break the array. So Jiang Ci will definitely die today. My master and I will use the Big Dipper array to transfer his luck as the Son of Heaven to the Third Prince. By then, Jiang Ci will be buried in the desert, and the Third Prince will replace him as the future True Dragon Son of Heaven!”

It is true that the Seven Star Lamp can borrow luck to extend his life, but he never wanted to lend his luck to the old emperor. Poor old thing still thinks that his master and he came to Jiang Ci to extend his life.

"You bunch of evildoers will not die a hapless death!" Yan Shu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Yuan An smiled evilly: "Go ahead and curse as much as you want. Soon you won't be able to curse anymore. It must be painful for you to see your loved one die because of you. Hahaha, this is my revenge on you!"

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci with determination in his eyes.

"Jiang Ci, I don't want you to risk your life to save me. Do you remember what you said? We will live together and die together. If anything happens to you today, I will not live alone!"

When Jiang Ci met Yan Shu's red eyes, his heart ached sharply.

How much he wanted to be with her forever, but fate seemed unwilling to let him have an easy time. Everything he cherished would be destroyed by fate itself.

He smiled and said, "Okay, let's make a bet today!"

Jiang Ci's figure flashed quickly and he instantly came in front of Yuan An. When Yuan An was caught off guard, he slapped him to the ground. Then Jiang Ci used a dagger to cut the ropes on Yan Shu's wrists and ankles.

"let's go!"

Jiang Ci hugged Yan Shu tightly and flew up. A white light flashed, and a strong cyclone followed and attacked the two of them.

Jiang Ci's expression changed slightly, and he swung his palm towards the white shadow. The opponent's internal strength was too overbearing, and his palm could not withstand the fast-approaching cyclone at all, and his chest was hit hard.

Jiang Ci spat out a mouthful of blood, hugged Yan Shu tightly, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he injected a stream of internal force into the soft sword in his hand to support the two of them in time, and then he stood up steadily.

"Ah Ci, be careful."

Seeing Taoist Wuji coming towards them, Yan Shu warned them.

"protect yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ci flew up and swung his sword to attack Taoist Wuji.

Two lights, one white and one blue, flashed quickly in the air. Yuan An took the opportunity to lead the remaining Taoists towards Yan Shu.

Yan Shu took two steps back and reached for the cloth bag around his waist.

Yuan An had a smug look on his face: "Jiang Ci is no match for my master. Give up struggling. Today is the day he dies!"

After saying this, Yuan An sneered and waved to the little Taoist priest behind him.

"This girl is Jiang Ci's weak spot, let's arrest her first."

A group of young Taoist priests followed the order and approached Yan Shu in an attempt to control him.

Yan Shu found the right moment and shot out a silver needle.

The leading young Taoist priests were stabbed by silver needles and instantly felt sore all over. They staggered forward a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud.

Yuan An's face darkened when he saw this, and he glared at Yan Shu fiercely: "You really have a lot of tricks."

Yan Shu looked at him provocatively: "What else, do you want to try it?"

"Humph, I don't believe you have any ability to protect yourself, come at me all!"

Yan Shu glanced at Jiang Ci from the corner of his eye. He had been fighting with Taoist Wuji for more than a hundred rounds and was currently at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, she detonated the two micro-bombs in her hands and threw them at Yuan An and others.

Yuan An's expression changed drastically: "Get out of the way!"

He had seen the power of this thing and thought that Yan Shu would no longer be a threat without the space to support her, but he didn't expect that she still had these things hidden on her body.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

A violent explosion was heard, causing billowing dust and smoke. Yuan An flew several meters in the opposite direction. The other young Taoist priests did not escape in time, and several of them were in the center of the explosion and were blown to pieces on the spot.

Yan Shu galloped towards the horse, jumped on it and ran wildly in the direction of Jiang Ci.

"Aci, get on the horse!"

Jiang Ci glanced in the direction of Yan Shu and then tried to withdraw. When Taoist Wuji saw his disciples being killed by Yan Shu, anger rose in his eyes.

He pinched his fingers and swung out a powerful internal force, which turned into a golden blade and went straight towards Yan Shu.

Seeing this, Jiang Ci flew towards Yan Shu. When the golden light was about to pierce Yan Shu's heart, Jiang Ci used his body to block Yan Shu and hugged her tightly. The golden light pierced his back and went straight to his heart.

"puff!"

A tearing pain came over him, Jiang Ci spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body seemed to be pulled out in an instant, and he fell heavily off the horse. Yan Shu was quick to grab his wrist, hugged him tightly with both arms, turned around, and landed on the ground first to serve as Jiang Ci's meat cushion.

"Aci, Aci, how are you?"

Ignoring the severe pain in her body, Yan Shu looked at the person on top of her. She supported Jiang Ci's body and forced herself to sit up. Seeing the blood gushing out of his heart, her face suddenly turned pale.

"Aci, don't scare me, wake up quickly."

"Hurry... hurry up..." Jiang Ci tried hard to urge.

He felt that his body was gradually slipping out of control and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred. He was afraid that today was really the end of his life.

Yan Shu cried and shook his head: "I won't leave. Even if I die, I will stay with you."

Jiang Ci shook his head weakly: "No..., I want Jiaojiao to live well... and not for me..."

Jiang Ci tried his best to reach out and touch the girl's face.

Yan Shu burst into tears, his heart was filled with intense fear and his body was shaking constantly.

Her eyes fell on Jiang Ci's wrist, and she suddenly thought of something and excitedly took off the bracelet.

"Hold on, Ah Ci. I know how to save you."

Yan Shu pulled off a bead from the bracelet and broke it open with force, revealing a pill the size of a soybean.

She wanted to stuff the pill into Jiang Ci's mouth, but Jiang Ci had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss, and his teeth were tightly clenched.

Yan Shu was extremely confused and tried several times to get it in but failed.

"Aci, open your mouth and take the medicine. Please open your mouth. This medicine can save your life. Can you hear me? Aci..."

Wuji said coldly: "Don't waste your efforts, his heart meridians are broken and there is no way to save him."

Yan Shu looked at Wuji fiercely: "You are going against the will of heaven, do you think you can escape the punishment of heaven? A demon like you who has lost all humanity will surely be crushed to ashes by heaven!"

Taoist Wuji sneered: "If the way of heaven has feelings, why are there so many miserable people in this world? Look at the world now, natural disasters are constant, and starving people are everywhere. Aren't these all the masterpieces of the way of heaven? Haha, compared with the way of heaven, what do I do count for?"

Yan Shu lowered his eyes to look at the person in his arms, raised his hand to gently stroke his cheek, and smiled sadly.

Then, she gently put Jiang Ci on the ground and slowly walked towards Taoist Wuji.

"You are right. If the heaven has eyes, how could it allow something like you to exist and bring disaster to the people?"

She stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of Taoist Wuji: "You should go to the eighteenth level of hell!"

Taoist Wuji's gloomy eyes suddenly darkened. Realizing something, he swung a palm towards Yan Shu's chest. Yan Shu took the palm but held his sleeve tightly and refused to let go. A tearing pain surged from his chest and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

With the determination to die together with Wuji Taoist, she detonated the last micro-bomb in her hand.
