“puff……”
David spat out a mouthful of blood and bounced several steps back.
A deep wound opened up on his chest, and golden blood gushed out of it, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling sound.
“David!” Jiang Xuelan exclaimed as she rushed to his side.
David raised his hand to stop her, his gaze never leaving Sonya.
“Yuqi, I won’t fight.” His voice was hoarse, but unusually firm. “If you really want to kill me, just kill me.”
Sonya’s hands shook slightly.
Looking at the wound on David’s chest, and the golden blood, he felt a strange, piercing pain in his heart.
That feeling was very strange.
He obviously didn’t know this person, so why did his heart hurt so much when he saw the man injured?
“Senior Brother, don’t be fooled by his sweet words.” Ning Zhi’s voice sounded in his ears, “Kill him. Kill him, and everything will be over.”
Sonya gritted her teeth and raised her sword again.
The fiery red sword light was even more intense and fierce than before.
He put all his spiritual power into this sword attack, aiming it at David’s throat.
David closed his eyes.
He didn’t shy away.
The sword tip stopped three inches from his throat.
Sonya’s hands were shaking.
His hand gripped the hilt of the sword, his knuckles white and the veins bulging.
His face was covered in sweat, and his eyes were filled with helplessness and confusion.
“I can’t do it” Her voice was shaking. “I don’t know why I can’t do it”
The sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a clink.
He held his head, squatted on the ground, and trembled all over.
“Whywhy is this happeningI don’t even know himwhy does my heart hurt so much”
Jiang Xuelan watched this scene, and a complex emotion emerged in her heart.
He understands.
This woman is the wife David mentioned.
She was the woman David would rather die than fight.
He took a deep breath and walked to David’s side.
“Just leave it to me.”
His voice was gentle, but contained undeniable strength: “You take care of Ning Zhi, I will take care of her. I promise, I won’t hurt her.”
David glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
“Don’t hurt him,” he repeated.
“I know.”
David turned around and looked at Ning Zhi.
His eyes changed.
That gaze was no longer the gentle and benevolent gaze like before, but rather a cold and razor-sharp gaze that was full of killing intent.
“Ning Zhi, what did you do to Yuqi?”
Ning Zhi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled.
“It’s nothing. It just made him see the truth.”
“Truth?” David’s voice was cold. “The truth you speak of is to erase his memory and make him your tool?”
Ning Zhi’s smile froze for a moment.
“I didn’t erase his memory. I just protected him from some things that shouldn’t exist.”
“Then give him back what he shouldn’t have.”
Ning Zhi shook his head: “Impossible. He’s sober now, he won’t be fooled by you anymore.”
David stopped talking.
He raised the Dragon Slayer Sword, and purple chaotic power condensed on the blade.
“Then, I’ll beat you until you get the memory back.”
Ning Zhi gritted her teeth, and the demonic energy in her body surged again.
The two collided again.
This time, David didn’t hold back in the slightest.
The purple sword light was like a storm, each attack faster and fiercer than the previous.
Every sword slash carried earth-shaking power; each slash was enough to level a mountain peak.
Ning Zhi tried her best to resist, but her strength was like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of David.
With the first sword strike, his protective demonic energy was torn apart.
With a second slash of the sword, a deep wound showing bone was scratched on his left arm.
With the third sword strike, his chest was penetrated by the blade, and blood spurted out.
Ning Zhi knelt on one knee, panting. His face was as pale as paper, and the light in his eyes was very dim.
“When did you become this strong?”
David stood before him, the Dragon Slayer Sword pressed against his throat. “Restore Yuqi’s memory.”
Ning Zhi looked up at him.
A bitter smile appeared on the blood-stained face. “Impossible. Impossible.”
The tip of David’s sword drew closer, and a drop of blood seeped from Ning Zhi’s throat.
Do you think killing me will make a difference?
Ning Zhi’s smile became even more hysterical. “I sealed his memories deep within his sea of consciousness, and only I know how to unlock them. Now that I’m dead, his memories will never return.”
