Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Su Wan silently closed her eyes, awaiting her impending death. It seemed that from the moment she became a cultivator, Su Wan knew that one day she too would die.

However, just as the Corpse Yin Sect elder was about to make his move, Lin Che arrived, wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and said, "We finally made it in time."

The elder of the Corpse Yin Sect stopped and glanced sideways at Lin Che, who showed no signs of spiritual energy fluctuation, with a puzzled expression.

"This place is clearly protected by the restrictions I set up. How did this ordinary mortal manage to arrive here silently, without being detected by my divine sense...?"

Just as the Corpse Yin Sect elder was puzzled, Lin Che had already run up to Su Wan and then, right in front of him, untied the ropes binding Su Wan.

"Mr. Lin, what brings you here?"

When Su Wan saw Lin Che, she paused, not expecting that Mr. Lin would actually come to rescue her.

Lin Che comforted him, "It's alright, leave everything to me."

The elder of the Corpse Yin Sect recovered from his previous shock, then said with a mocking smile, "A mere fortune teller dares to be so insolent in front of me. He truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Lin Che looked at the Corpse Yin Sect elder in front of him, who was covered in murderous aura, and instinctively took two steps back. Then, he mustered up his courage and said, "Miss Su Wan is my friend... Immortal, could you spare her life?"

"Who do you think you are, daring to negotiate with me? Today I will extract your soul and condemn you to eternal damnation!"

The Corpse Yin Sect elder shot towards Lin Che's location in an instant. As a Nascent Soul stage expert, he grabbed Lin Che's neck in a flash and lifted him up.

"Heroes always have to pay a price for saving a damsel in distress. You are just an ordinary mortal, not worthy of my interest."

Su Wan struggled to her feet, summoned her magical sword, and launched it at the Corpse Yin Sect expert in front of her.

However, for a mere Qi Refining stage ant, this attack was practically useless against a Nascent Soul stage expert. In fact, the immortal sword shattered instantly the moment it got even half a step closer.

"boom--"

Lin Che's body was like a kite with a broken string, casually tossed against the cliff by the elder of the Corpse Yin Sect. The crisp sound of bones shattering was particularly jarring in the empty Broken Soul Cliff.

He slid down the cold rocks to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth staining his coarse cloth shirt, and even breathing was excruciatingly painful.

"Mr. Lin!"

Su Wan screamed shrilly, trying to rush over, but was firmly suppressed in place by the cold spiritual power emanating from the elder, unable to move even a fingertip.

Seeing Lin Che lying on the ground, Su Wan struggled to lift her head, blood still dripping from the corner of her mouth, yet she still reached out her hand in her direction, her eyes almost overflowing with anxiety.

The elder of the Corpse Yin Sect slowly walked to Lin Che's side, stepped on the back of his hand with his toe, and smiled contemptuously.

"Mortals are just mortals, easily broken. I was thinking of letting you live a little longer, but now it seems I'd rather let you watch how this little girl dies."

As he spoke, the Corpse Yin Sect elder suddenly turned to look at Su Wan. His withered fingers made a grasping motion in the air, and a black spiritual force wrapped around Su Wan's wrist like a chain, forcibly pulling her in front of him.

With his other hand, he placed it on Su Wan's crown, and the cold spiritual energy flowed down her head.

Wherever it passed, Su Wan's skin turned an abnormal bluish-white, and the blood in her veins seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, sending waves of excruciating pain through her.

"As expected of a top-tier spiritual root, it truly lives up to its reputation. After devouring you, I might be able to directly comprehend the essence and break through to the Nascent Soul stage!" "Ah!"

Su Wan couldn't help but cry out in pain, her forehead covered in cold sweat, her teeth biting her lip so hard that it bled, but she refused to make another sound.

At that moment, she knew what the elder was going to do.

The Corpse Yin Sect captured her because she possessed a rare spiritual bloodline, which could greatly enhance the power of soul weapons.

The cold spiritual energy gradually seeped into Su Wan's bloodline. She could clearly feel her blood being drawn away little by little, and the power in her body was also being lost. Even her vision began to blur.

Su Wan's gaze was fixed on Lin Che not far away, watching him struggle to get up, only to fall down again due to the excruciating pain. Her heart felt as if it were being pierced by countless needles at the same time, which was even more unbearable than the physical pain.

"Mr. Lin... don't come any closer..."

With her last ounce of strength, Su Wan spoke in a hoarse voice, tears mixed with cold sweat streaming down her face, "You should leave... This isn't a place for you..."

Lin Che lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently. Looking at Su Wan's pained expression, his heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a large hand.

I remember two years ago, Su Wan sat in front of the fortune-telling stall and said, "The wind in the county town is still warmer." I also remember the wild fruits she brought back every time she came back, saying they were the sweetest from the mountains.

She even recalled how, when she dragged her to the Su family's banquet, the light in her eyes shone brighter than the lights at the banquet.

"I'm not leaving..."

Lin Che spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse, "I said... I would take you back..."

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Corpse Yin Sect reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and increased the force in his hand even more.

"Go back? None of you are leaving today! After I've drained this girl's bloodline, I'll refine your soul into a soul weapon, so that you two will be my nourishment for eternity!"

"Uh……"

Su Wan's body trembled violently, the pain of her blood being drained grew stronger and stronger, and she felt her consciousness fading away little by little.

But when she looked at Lin Che, at that man who was clearly just an ordinary person, yet risked his life to save her from entering the Broken Soul Cliff, the emotions that had been building up in her heart for two years suddenly burst forth like a flood, and she could no longer hold back.

Su Wan's eyes were red, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling with sobs, yet unusually clear: "Mr. Lin... I love you..."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the Cliff of Broken Souls. Lin Che suddenly raised his head, looking at Su Wan with shock in his eyes.

Su Wan's body grew weaker and weaker, but her gaze remained unusually firm, as if she wanted to etch Lin Che's image into her soul.

"From the first time you saved me at the Su family... from the time you told my fortune... from the time you said we would meet again if we were destined... I've liked you ever since..."

“I went to the Hengyue Sect to cultivate immortality… I cultivated desperately… I wanted to become powerful… not to become some kind of immortal… but because I wanted… I wanted to one day be able to protect you… to be worthy of you…”

"I thought... when I became stronger... when I could protect the winds of the county town... I would come back and tell you... but I never expected... I couldn't even protect myself..." (End of Chapter)
