Capítulo 1332: Chapter 1303: Debts of Gratitude Can’t Be Settled Equally
Lieu Zhanxiao’s lifetime, although not exactly earth-shattering, has at least been through a lot of trials and tribulations.
He once had his moments of glory, and also his moments of downfall.
But no matter what, he is still alive, and he has almost reached the forefront of most Martial Artists.
The simple two words ‘alive’ embody the philosophy of his entire life.
No matter how powerful a strong person is, after death, they are nothing but a handful of yellow earth. Clearly, Lieu Zhanxiao does not want to die. In his view, his life is still long, and he still has a long path of Martial Arts to walk, he cannot just stop halfway.
However, the scene before him made him a bit absent-minded.
The Demon King was right in front of him, his hand had already pierced through his body. Perhaps in the next moment, as long as this incredibly powerful Demon Lord casually pulled his hand, he could completely tear him apart.
Is my path stopping here?
What a pity.
Inexplicably, there was no intense emotion like anger or sorrow in Lieu Zhanxiao’s heart.
There was only a faint sense of regret.
Because there were still so many things he hadn’t done yet.
For example, finding a certain kid to let him understand what it means to respect the old and love the young. Or, finding a certain man to prove to him that he is already a strong person and will not let him bully him casually anymore.
“Why at this moment, am I thinking of all guys with the surname Li?” The corners of Lieu Zhanxiao’s mouth curled into a strange smile, he gently shook his head, and then closed his eyes.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to find an opportunity to resist, but he knows that at this distance, he can’t escape no matter what.
“Annoying little bug, go to hell in peace.” In the Demon King’s silver pupils, a peculiar luster flickered.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A voice, incredibly heavy, suddenly came from behind Lieu Zhanxiao.
“Unsheathing the sword—cutting one!”
A blood-colored, piercing blade light instantly sliced through the air, even grazing past Lieu Zhanxiao’s ear, leaving a small cut on his face.
However, the target that this blade light aimed at was the Demon King!
If possible, the Demon King could indeed withstand this suddenly appearing eerie blade light, and forcibly tear Lieu Zhanxiao apart.
But due to some peculiar psychology, the Demon King chose to retreat at this moment.
“Swoosh!”
The arm was suddenly pulled from Lieu Zhanxiao’s abdomen, and the intense pain made Lieu Zhanxiao involuntarily frown.
“Such a waste, there will be plenty of chances to kill him later. For such a guy, letting my noble body get hurt again, is not worth it!” The Demon King murmured.
At this time, the blood-colored blade light also reached in front of him.
The Demon King slightly raised his arm, the Black Light Sword reappearing in his hand.
“Clash!!”
The Light Sword shattered suddenly, but at the same time, the blood-colored blade light also exploded at once.
The Demon King’s arm twitched slightly, imperceptibly, then retreated into his robe.
On his slightly drooping face, a faint look of dissatisfaction appeared.
The intensity of this blade light seemed to exceed his expectations, even he felt his palm go slightly numb.
But, that was all there was to it.
“Sect Master Lieu, long time no see.”
Lieu Zhanxiao, who narrowly escaped death, pressed one hand on his wound, healing himself while frowning and listening to the voice behind him.
If he heard correctly, this voice should be…
Li Chen smiled as he approached Lieu Zhanxiao, looking at him with a somewhat peculiar expression.
Seeing Li Chen again, Lieu Zhanxiao’s gaze was also incredibly complex. He had thought many times about meeting Li Chen again, but he never imagined that he and Li Chen would meet again under such circumstances.
Moreover, if he guessed correctly, it was just now that Li Chen saved him.
“Why did you…”
Lieu Zhanxiao had just started speaking when Li Chen raised his hand to interrupt him.
He knew what Lieu Zhanxiao wanted to ask, so he had long thought of an answer for such a question.
“Perhaps you didn’t care, but not long ago, you saved my students, preventing them from becoming cannon fodder and perishing. I saved you once, as a return of the favor.” Li Chen said faintly.
“I, Li Chen, always distinguish between gratitude and grudges, so this favor, I must repay. If you die, I will owe you for life. So I acted, and now, we are even.”
Hearing this, Lieu Zhanxiao looked at his wound, but his face still carried a wry smile: “Now that the favor has been repaid, do you want to end the grudges between us?”
“That topic, we can also discuss it later.” Li Chen’s gaze turned toward the Demon King not far away: “Although I hate to admit it, I also understand that if even you are not his opponent, then I definitely won’t be able to take on this guy.”
“In comparison, I think we should resolve this guy first and then talk about the grudges between us. Sect Master Lieu, what do you think?”
“Makes sense.” Looking at Li Chen, then glancing at the Demon King not far away, Lieu Zhanxiao nodded.
At this point, the strong members of the Allied Forces had launched another attack.
Even if the Demon King wanted to come over and deal with them, he couldn’t find the time for it right now.
Although these strong ones from the Allied Forces couldn’t match those like Lieu Zhanxiao who came from the Main World and the Great Scorching in terms of strength, they had the advantage in numbers.
In the entire minor world, almost half of the top experts were gathered here, which definitely made them stronger than just Lieu Zhanxiao alone.
For a moment, even the Demon King couldn’t spare the effort to deal with Li Chen and Lieu Zhanxiao.
“Drink this.”
After thinking for a moment, Li Chen took out a bottle from his pocket.
Inside the bottle was some red liquid, with a pill soaked within it.
Seeing the bottle that Li Chen handed over, Lieu Zhanxiao accepted it almost without hesitation and drank it down in one go.
Seeing Lieu Zhanxiao being so decisive, even Li Chen was a bit surprised.
Given that they weren’t exactly friends now, this guy actually drank it without even asking what it was. Does he really trust me that much?
Seemingly understanding what Li Chen was thinking, Lieu Zhanxiao laughed boldly: “Just now, you saved me. Although it may sound unpleasant, I still feel that my life is much more important than those little guys. So, I still owe you a life!”
“You owe me a small favor, while I owe you a big favor, this matter cannot simply be deemed settled!”
“Since my life was saved by you, even if what you gave me is indeed poison, I’ll accept it!”
After Lieu Zhanxiao finished speaking, he returned the bottle directly to Li Chen, smiling faintly.
In his smile, there was a full display of gallantry.
