Chapter 440: 440
At the sight of Ao Yan, Jiang Xiaobai felt his breath halt.

The situation was so tense before, he had no time to check the outside world, totally unaware that Ao Yan had already arrived!

Now that Ao Yan suddenly appeared, looking at that familiar gorgeous face, he was completely dumbfounded.

“You’re here?”

Jiang Xiaobai started to laugh foolishly, “Heh heh, didn’t expect to see you under such circumstances, it feels kinda weird.”

“What’s there to feel weird about, afraid of dying?”

Ao Yan said softly.

“Yeah, I’ve always had bad luck anyway. If I hadn’t run into you, I wouldn’t have seen such a vast world.”

“It doesn’t matter if I die. At worst, I’ll start over. But you can’t.”

As Jiang Xiaobai wanted to continue speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Ao Yan shutting his mouth with her hand.

“Shut up, I don’t want to hear any of this nonsense!”

Ao Yan’s face was cold, her demeanor quickly changing from gentle to the fierce dragoness she used to be.

Jiang Xiaobai could not help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, “Damn, we’re at this point, Yan’er, can you change your temper?”

“You won’t die, I won’t let you.”

“If you die, I will… suffer a lot.”

Ao Yan’s expression gradually softened, seeming to also realize her icy demeanor wasn’t ideal.

Suffer a lot?

At this moment, a warm current surged in Jiang Xiaobai’s heart, it was extraordinarily comforting.

From the first time Jiang Xiaobai met Ao Yan, he knew she was cold on the outside, warm on the inside. All her seemingly cold and annoying actions were due to her nature.

But in reality, Ao Yan never intended to kill Jiang Xiaobai.

Even more so, due to their shared experiences, she began to have strong affection towards Jiang Xiaobai.

Now, those affection, through a series of life and death separations, had completely turned into love!

Yeah, don’t ask. If you do, she won’t tell you.

Anyway, that’s what Jiang Xiaobai thought.

“Last time I failed to protect you, but this time… I won’t.”

“Even if we die, we die together.”

Ao Yan’s voice was crystal clear and calm, but it was the most touching words in the world.

“Okay, let’s stand together and fight until the world collapses!”

Jiang Xiaobai grinned. An astounding intent to fight erupted from him!

Within his battling intent, was wrapped a sharp sword intent.

This sword intent seemed to want to pierce the sky, to stab a hole in it!

His sword intent, at this moment, became more pure, and transparent!

“It’s a pity that for this meeting, I prepared many gifts for you, but it seems now that they are of no use.”

Jiang Xiaobai murmured.

Ao Yan didn’t respond, her eyes fixed intently on Jiang Xiaobai.

Everything was said without saying!

“You’re the Ao Yan from Long Valley, right?”

At this time, Li Taiwang sneered: “Indeed, you already have the power of Fusion at such a young age, promising.”

“I originally planned to take you to Jade Ling Palace and select you for the Temple of War Gods, but your appearance here seems a bit inappropriate.”

“I am generous, I’ll give you a chance – leave now, don’t get involved in this matter, the Temple of War Gods will still have a place for you.”

Ao Yan’s face instantly turned cold.

“You talk too much, you think I care about your so-called Temple of War Gods?”

At her words, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened.

He couldn’t help but raise his thumb at Ao Yan.

“My wife is badass!”

“It’s still my wife who’s better at rebuking people!”

Ao Yan’s face flushed red instantly, fiercely glaring at Jiang Xiaobai.

If this were before, back in Dragon Valley, Ao Yan would have definitely given Jiang Xiaobai a good beating, but now she only glared at him!

Jiang Xiaobai felt, that was a gain!

“How audacious, to so blatantly disregard my War God Temple, who gave you such boldness!”

“Even if Jade Ling Palace is the most powerful in the East, so what? In front of my War God Temple, it’s nothing but an ant!”

King Li erupted in anger, his murderous intent growing stronger.

Today he was truly enraged, first by Jiang Xiaobai who disrespected his War God Temple, killed his people, and even laid hands on their top disciples.

Now, there was an Ao Yan, directly expressing his disdain for the War God Temple?

What, everyone is brazenly defying him?

“Old man, I beg you, stop putting on airs!”

“Want to fight? Fine, I’ve got a more powerful formation waiting for you!”

Having said that, a red light sphere appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.

The aura this sphere emitted was more terrifying than the previous Nine-Curve Yellow River formation, it was even more frightening.

This was the Slaying Immortal Sword formation!

A downgraded version…

Jiang Xiaobai had just made 600,000 points, and this Slaying Immortal Sword formation was exactly 600,000. He hesitated not at all and exchanged it.

Damn it, given the chance to survive, who wants to die?

Running out of points is not a problem, there will always be more later, right?

But if he was out of life, he would be really done.

This Slaying Immortal Sword formation was even better than the Nine-Curve Yellow River formation. Although it was a downgraded version, Jiang Xiaobai believed that any late-stage Transformation or even Great Achievement expert would be vanquished by it.

What are you, King Li, a jerky?

Seeing the red light sphere in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, King Li’s eyes instantly widened, his face drastically changed!

He just had to look at it to sense the terrifying power it exuded. He believed that if Jiang Xiaobai unleashed it, he would undoubtedly die!

However, before King Li could react, Jiang Xiaobai retracted the red sphere.

Then, he rose four fingers towards King Li.

In an instant, golden light burst forth from his fingers. This light was sacred and pure, boundless and vast.

It seemed to encompass the tolerance of heaven and earth within it.

Moral virtue!

“Come, come, one formation not enough, your daddy’s got more!”

“I don’t believe you can withstand this one too!”

This was Jiang Xiaobai’s last trump card.

He really didn’t want to use it!

This was moral virtue after all, currently, the only way to obtain it was through system selection tasks, nothing more.

The laws of this world seemed a bit incomplete, with no other way to acquire moral virtue.

Thus, he, Jiang Xiaobai only had this much!

But this much was enough!

As long as he exhibited his moral virtue, who would dare to move against her? While the moral virtue was being consumed, the heavenly purple lightning would fall.

This was said to be the first thunder tribulation, its power was unimaginable!

If King Li could withstand it, Jiang Xiaobai would eat shit on the spot, without any ambiguity!

“Come on, isn’t your War God Temple formidable?”

“You want to fight with me? Fine, it will be a fight to the death. If you can’t kill me now, then I’ll go to your War God Temple, I don’t believe that if I throw this thing into your War God Temple, it can withstand it?”

Jiang Xiaobai began to stroke the moral virtue stored in his four fingers and sneered.

In worst-case scenario, they would both die, so what’s to fear?

If he was pushed to the extreme, he wouldn’t mind losing his moral virtue and take the fight to the War God Temple, consuming his moral virtue there. It would be odd indeed if the heavenly purple lightning didn’t raze the War God Temple to the ground!

King Li was also frowning deeply at this point.

Though he didn’t know what this was, he could feel the mysterious aura that was like the grand Dao of heaven and earth. He didn’t dare to gamble!

He was strong, but there was a limit to his strength.

But should he just leave now?

He had already thrown down the gauntlet, if he left now, wouldn’t he be surrendering his pride for Jiang Xiaobai to trample on?

Just as the standoff was reaching a deadlock, a lazy voice rang out.

“Let’s just let this slide, don’t do anything rash. So that we can still meet in the future, isn’t it?”
