Chapter 234 - Want to steal my Ice Soul Sword

No way!

No way!

Seeing her attack succeed, An Li felt an inexplicable and intense sense of guilt.

Although the kid had just forcibly violated her body, it was ultimately she who seduced him, and now that he was about to die in the Netherworld, how could her conscience bear it?

“I’m…

I’m sorry,” An Li said, feeling utterly at a loss.

However, deep inside, she also found it odd.

Hadn’t Ruonan said that the poison in the Life-Claiming Ring was lethal upon contact with blood?

How was he still able to hold on?

“You wench, you actually poisoned me!

How wicked and venomous you are!” Ye Haochuan pretended to be full of indignant anger and spoke loudly.

An Li’s face turned deathly pale, and she backed away in fright, terrified that he might pounce on her and harm her.

However, at this moment, Ye Haochuan pretended to be affected by the poison, sat cross-legged to meditate, and put on an appearance of desperately trying to expel the poison.

Just then, a sinister laugh came from the direction of the balcony, as Li Ruonan, An Li’s lover, walked into the room.

Ye Haochuan feigned a change of expression and asked Li Ruonan, “Who are you?”

As he inquired, he also sized up the other person.

This Li Ruonan, though a woman, was clad in attire that was quite masculine, giving her a strange aura.

Although she might seem somewhat gender-nonconforming in the eyes of men, she could represent a different kind of beauty and hold immense attraction for women like An Li.

Ye Haochuan sneered internally.

At that moment, Li Ruonan let out a cold laugh.

“Who am I?

Humph, I’m the person here to take your life.”

“The person here to take my life?

You sure talk big!” Ye Haochuan scoffed.

“Eh…”

Li Ruonan’s face suddenly showed a touch of shock and uncertainty.

The poison on the Life-Claiming Ring was designed to claim life upon contact with blood; she hadn’t expected that Ye Haochuan could hold on for so long!

This was a poison that even cultivators in the Postnatal Late Stage couldn’t resist!

“Ye Haochuan, oh Ye Haochuan, you still act so arrogantly when you are so close to death…”

Just as she said this, Ye Haochuan suddenly spat out blood, looking as if he had been stricken by a severe poison.

Li Ruonan was overjoyed, her previous doubts about whether he was poisoned vanished, and she laughed heartily, saying, “How about it?

Ye Haochuan, didn’t I tell you!”

Watching his arrogant manner, Ye Haochuan was amused inside.

He had just bitten his tongue deliberately, and it had actually fooled her.

Idiot!

“Why did you set this trap and frame me?

I’ve done nothing to wrong you, have I?” Ye Haochuan “held on” to his breath, only to find out more about the situation where the entire Long Group of experts met their demise.

“Yes, indeed, we bear no grudges against each other, but there’s a saying you should be aware of, ‘The innocent man must bear the consequences for his possession of the jade!'” Li Ruonan’s eyes gleamed with fervor.

Even though he already knew the reason, Ye Haochuan still feigned ignorance, “What?”

“It would be wise for you to hand over the Ice Soul Sword you snatched from Ling Xiaotian of the Tianyu Alliance, or else I’ll make sure your body is never found,” Li Ruonan said coldly.

Damn, whether I hand it over or not, it’s all a dead end, why should I bother?

thought Ye Haochuan, thoroughly irritated.

Meanwhile, An Li, who had just pulled herself together from her shock, slowly came to her senses and persuaded, “Ruonan, mercy begets mercy.

He’s already hit by the fatal poison.

Why should we kick him when he’s down?”

Slap!

Li Ruonan slapped An Li across the face, jealousy burning in her eyes as she spat, “Slut, you seemed quite pleased with him just now.

Now you’re siding with him, aren’t you?”

“I didn’t…” An Li’s face was stricken with grief and anger, tears streaming down, “He died because of me.

I’m already tormented by guilt.

And now you want him completely obliterated, how could I still have the face to live in this world?”

Ye Haochuan was a bit surprised by this, and his impression of her suddenly shifted slightly.

It seemed she wasn’t thoroughly rotten to the core.

“Damn it, still claiming not to be leaning towards him…”

Li Ruonan proceeded to slap An Li several more times, swelling her originally delicate and lovely face, leaving it with a patchwork of bloody marks.

Ye Haochuan ultimately couldn’t bear to watch any longer and shouted, “Stop it!

You want to know the whereabouts of the Ice Soul Sword, don’t you?

I’ll tell you, it’s in my hands.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ruonan hesitated for a moment, before joy surged within her.

She pushed An Li away and asked, “Is the Ice Soul Sword really in your possession?”

Ye Haochuan snorted and then pulled out the Ice Soul Sword from his storage ring.

In an instant, the temperature around them plummeted, and a wave of cold air swept over them.

Li Ruonan’s eyes suddenly shone with intense longing, as she impatiently reached out to snatch it, “Give it to me!”

Ye Haochuan swung the sword, forcing her back, and said forcefully, “You think you can snatch the Ice Soul Sword from me?

No chance!”

Li Ruonan then realized that the other party wasn’t yet dead from the poison, and taking the sword wouldn’t be easy.

“Ye Haochuan, do you think you can hold out much longer?” Li Ruonan snorted, “Let me tell you, you’ve been poisoned with a deadly toxin.

It won’t be long before it takes effect and you die a painful death.

Then, the Ice Soul Sword will end up in my hands anyway.”

“Naïve.

You think a mere poison can kill me, Ye Haochuan?

You underestimate me too much!” Ye Haochuan let out a cold smirk, leaped off the bed, and declared with an imposing aura, “Let me tell you the truth, I am skilled in both medicine and martial arts!

This little poison, I hardly take it seriously!”

Both medicine and martial arts?

Li Ruonan’s face turned pale, no wonder he could hold up after being poisoned.

Suddenly, she felt regrets arising, pondering if she had made her move too early, now she was stuck between a rock and a hard place, threatened by him.

Seeing that she was intimidated by him, Ye Haochuan continued, “This Ice Soul Sword may be a top-grade Talisman Instrument, but to me, it’s merely a burden.

If I keep it, and the people from the Tianyu Alliance trace it back to me, it would be a big problem.

So, I might as well give it to you.”

Li Ruonan was incredibly amazed; she had not expected him to be so generous.

If only she had known, she wouldn’t have gone through such ridiculous lengths.

However, at that moment, Ye Haochuan suddenly changed his tone and said, “However, I’m quite curious.

The Ice Soul Sword is a top-grade Talisman Instrument, a potent weapon for us cultivators in the Postnatal Realm.

Why go through so much trouble to snatch it?

Aren’t you afraid the members of the Tianyu Alliance will come after you?”

“This…” Li Ruonan found herself at a loss for words.

She couldn’t just spill her reasons for self-preservation, could she?

“I can give you the Ice Soul Sword, but you better explain to me clearly, why did you try to snatch this top-grade Talisman Instrument?” Ye Haochuan said with a cold smile, “You better not give me some nonsense excuse.

I heard everything you and An Li said in the room.”

Li Ruonan’s body trembled, he had heard everything?

Could it be he was referring to…

“Out with it.

What exactly do you know about the Long Group elite’s complete annihilation?” Ye Haochuan said, emanating a ferocious killing intent.
