“Isn’t it a bit late begging for mercy now?” Ye Li said calmly.
The three seventh-tier Evolved Beings were shocked by his words, and at this moment, all they could think about was escaping.
Immediately, the three seventh-tier Evolved Beings began to flee backward as fast as they could.
However, Ye Li shook his head slowly. Did these three seventh-tier Evolved Beings really think they could escape from him?
He activated the Swift Steps and instantly appeared behind the three seventh-tier Evolved Beings from the Ghost Hand Sect.
He raised his Dragon-slaying Blade and swung it.
Swish!
The three seventh-tier Evolved Beings were instantly cut in half, and they didn’t even know how they died.
“Haha, Ye Li, you didn’t expect this, did you?”
Meng Cangtian’s voice suddenly appeared behind Ye Li.
Ye Li turned around slowly, genuinely puzzled about why Meng Cangtian could still laugh.
When he turned around, he saw that Meng Cangtian was already in front of Ziqiong, and his hand was gripping her neck.
Meng Cangtian was, after all, an eighth-tier Evolved Being, while all the members of the Apocalypse Legion were only seventh-tier zombies, so there was a considerable power difference.
“Ye Li, now your woman is in my hands. As long as I twist my hand lightly, your beloved woman will disappear forever,” Meng Cangtian said triumphantly, looking at Ye Li.
Ye Li’s face remained calm like still water. He had already anticipated that Meng Cangtian might resort to holding Ziqiong hostage.
Ziqiong’s face turned pale with fear, her eyes filled with pleading, clearly indicating that she didn’t want to die.
“Let her go,” Ye Li said lightly to Meng Cangtian.
“Ye Li, do you think you still have the right to say such things at this point? Hand over the Dragon-slaying Blade, or your beloved woman will die!” Meng Cangtian angrily shouted.
Ye Li’s face remained serene. “It’s a pity, she’s not my woman.”
“What are you saying?” Meng Cangtian asked coldly, one word at a time.
“You don’t believe me?” Ye Li looked at Meng Cangtian.
Meng Cangtian hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do. He contemplated for several seconds.
“Ye Li, don’t lie to me. If she’s not your woman, it means you don’t care if she dies.”
Meng Cangtian thought that even if he let this woman go, he would still face certain death. If what Ye Li said was true, at least he wouldn’t die alone.
Thinking this way, Meng Cangtian was prepared to take action.
“Wait,” Ye Li said.
As soon as Meng Cangtian heard this, he licked his lips. Since Ye Li spoke at this time, it meant that this woman was truly his woman.
In that case, he could exchange Ye Li’s woman for the Dragon-slaying Blade. Even though they were both eighth-tier Evolved Beings, the gap between him and Ye Li was vast.
He thought that the Dragon-slaying Blade must be the reason for this disparity.
“Ye Li, do you agree to the exchange?” Meng Cangtian stared at Ye Li.
“All right,” Ye Li said after a few seconds of contemplation.
With that, Ye Li slowly approached Meng Cangtian.
Just a few steps away from Meng Cangtian, he stopped Ye Li.
“Ye Li, throw the Dragon-slaying Blade over here, and I’ll return your beloved woman to you.”
Meng Cangtian looked greedily at the Dragon-slaying Blade in Ye Li’s hand, believing it was now within his grasp.
Without a second thought, Ye Li tossed the Dragon-slaying Blade over to Meng Cangtian. Meng Cangtian caught it and then pushed Ziqiong towards Ye Li..
