Fighting is never just a head-on clash of physical strength, but also involves trash talk. Jiang Lan was thinking hard and started to taunt her in an attempt to have some psychological impact on the opponent.
However, she was the first one whose mental defenses were broken down.
"Who said I didn't bring my subordinates?"
Anastasia spoke her first words so far in a cold and cunning voice.
She is a viper, and stalking people in the dark is her forte.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lan had not yet figured out the mystery when he heard a muffled groan coming from within the barrier.
When Jiang Lan turned his eyes, he saw a scene that he had never expected.
After hitting Alice on the back of the neck with one move, Ellie used the [Talisman of All Destruction] pulled out from Mona's waist to press against Mona's neck.
The dagger can break all laws, it can break the law-level barriers, and it can even break the trump card in Mona's hand.
Sensing the dangerous aura, the time-stop barrier was broken by the dagger just after it came into effect. Facing Ellie who had finally unleashed the reverse flow of fighting spirit in her body and entered the fourth level, she had no power to resist at all.
"Now, the offensive shift."
Anastasia's words hit Jiang Lan's heart like a heavy blow.
"Ellie? Why?"
Jiang Lan gnashed his teeth and felt a chill all over his body.
"She is a spy I have been planting for this day. Maybe you don't know this, but Ellie is actually a cute boy."
Snakes and cats probably have similarities in that they both like to play with their prey. Just like at this moment, the viper's playful words teased Jiang Lan's tense nerves.
"Everything has its cause. This is the sin you committed back then."
Jiang Lan was puzzled and looked at Ellie. Her eyes, which had been squinting for years, opened and shone with an unnatural golden color. Not much expression could be seen on her calm face.
"This is revenge for my sister."
"elder sister?"
Jiang Lan was puzzled, but Mona's eyes widened. She was surprised but also thought of something.
"Sure enough, you have all forgotten. After all, we are just insignificant little people. Naturally, we are not worthy of the attention of you, the powerful ones standing at the top and the darlings of heaven. But I will never forget that my sister died because of you in the Red Leaf Earl's Mansion ten years ago."
"green tea......"
A certain face flashed back before her eyes, and it was exactly the same as Ellie's. Mona murmured in a trembling voice.
Green plum, green tea, the forbidden siblings of the Duke of Bronze, had an unfortunate life, but it became even more unfortunate because of the existence of Jiang Lan's family.
Although Qingmei was the first to kill, how can we tell right from wrong?
At least that’s what Green Tea thinks and does. Ten years of dormancy is just for today.
“It’s time to settle everything.”
#Interlocking! #
ps: I'm afraid you have forgotten because it's been too long, so let's review the plot of the first volume. Qingmei and Greentea were the brother and sister who served Mona and the other two in the Earl's Mansion. Later, the sister was afraid of losing favor so she took them away. When she realized they couldn't escape, she became murderous and later triggered the Originium barrier (Sky Thunder version) and died without a complete body, but the brother survived because he was knocked unconscious in the room.
Then all the foreshadowings were laid before, such as recognizing Mona Ayako when they met for the first time, and there was also an explicit hint when they went to Jiang Lan's house. Green Tea specifically asked Jiang Lan to buy green plums to eat, and then there were various verbal hints later, such as being three years older and not being able to like Mona, etc. The most recent one was that Mona needed to replenish her magic but she didn't dare to go into battle. If you look closely at the description, it implies that he is a boy.
Anyway, I said so much just to brag about myself. My plot is perfect without any loopholes!
Hum hum.
292. I once had no choice
Jiang Lan had heard Lilith's detailed account of the Earl's Mansion incident. Although the green tea incident was mentioned, Lilith only mentioned it in passing and did not make too many remarks about it. Therefore, Jiang Lan had no impression of this poor pair of siblings. Even though he knew that Ellie was not a good girl, he had never thought about her being, no, he had never thought about being, a boy.
The delicate and lovely eyebrows on her fair face, the petite stature, the fragility shown in daily life, everything about her makes people feel so natural, just like a real silent little loli. This can be seen from Mona's love for her. She is like a delicate doll girl without any sign of being a boy.
This is probably because you can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. Everyone was deceived by her disguise, and this time bomb of hers was lurking around them for two years.
What would Mona, who favored Ellie so much, took good care of her, rested her on her lap, patted her, fed her, and loved her like her own sister, think now?
Mona's face was calm at the moment and Jiang Lan couldn't tell anything, but she must be extremely heartbroken, being betrayed by someone who cared and loved her so much.
But these are obviously all things of the past. Now Jiang Lan is not even sure whether she and Mona can survive this.
"The viper will never attack unless it is fully prepared. It looks like I have won. Feelings are really a fatal weakness of human beings. Even an executioner like you who has slaughtered tens of thousands of demons and humans can be subdued so easily."
Villains die because they talk too much. Most villains in the world understand this truth, but when it comes to the last moment, they just can't stop their mouths and always want to say something to show off.
Moreover, she could also show off that a hidden chess piece had been buried beside her for two years and was only discovered at the moment of attack. Moreover, it struck at the most critical and fatal moment. Such planning was really deep and admirable.
Of course, she could only show off. The Demon Eye was the innate ability that made the Medusa clan famous. It could often greatly restrict the opponent and help the weak defeat the strong. But now facing Jiang Lan, it became a hindrance and quickly consumed her magic power. If it weren't for the existence of Ellie, she would have been skinned alive by Jiang Lan in a short while.
Just like the situation right now.
The nine-tailed fox opened wide, and the blood and energy all over its body burned the air. Its sharp claws clamped around her neck and rubbed it hard into the mud.
After all, she was the fox girl who could fight against hundreds of thousands of people from two worlds alone. Even the demon-level Medusa could only restrain her for a short while. In terms of strength, Anastasia was completely defeated.
But even so, she still had the upper hand.
A wicked smile appeared on her charming face, and her playful laughter was full of mockery. She raised her arms and rubbed Jiang Lan's face gently.
"kill me."
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The claws gripping her neck suddenly increased in strength, causing Anastasia's face to become distorted, but even so, the evil laughter continued to come out.
Jiang Lan didn't dare to kill her.
The celestial fox, who guards the holy land with unparalleled strength, lost his divinity because of defilement by the devil king twenty years ago, and lost his life for the devil king's daughter twenty years later. Love is truly lamentable and ridiculous, and it is not worth playing with.
"Let my daughter go, and I'll let you go. I won't break my promise."
His eyes were filled with cruelty, but the words he uttered were all about compromise and unwillingness. This was the only way Jiang Lan could do under the current circumstances.
But Anastasia is not limited to this.
"Now is not the time for you to negotiate with me. You want to exchange your life for your daughter? Oh, I am confused. Your daughter has nothing to do with you."
Although Jiang Lan's life was in her hands, Viper was confident of victory. Many times, victory or defeat does not depend on strength, but on who is more despicable. Anastasia was clearly the best.
"But you will change it, right? She is the girl you have raised for more than ten years."
"You bastard." Jiang Lan screamed in a low voice, her beautiful face had never been so ferocious as it was at this moment. "Don't treat me as a fool. How could I surrender without a fight?"
Although not smart, Jiang Lan's mind was extremely clear under such unfavorable conditions.
Never expect such a despicable devil to keep her promise. Only if she is alive can her daughters live, so no matter how worried she is, she cannot just surrender.
"Oh, little Mona, you see, your cheap mother really cares more about herself than your safety. After all, raising you is just for fun. You don't really think that the daughter of the Demon King can be treated sincerely by someone who used to be a hero, do you? It's ridiculous and pathetic."
They were only a few feet apart, and Jiang Lan could reach there in an instant with his strength. If it were an ordinary person, he would have definitely chopped off Ellie's head. However, things are unpredictable. The holy sword barrier that was originally meant to protect Mona and the other two became an obstacle at this moment. The few seconds when the barrier was retracted were enough for Ellie to cut Mona's neck.
So she could only keep paying attention to Mona's situation and couldn't do anything, so she could only see it at this moment.
Mona's body trembled slightly when she heard Anastasia's provocative words.
"No, Mona, you three are definitely my most adorable daughters. You are more important than my life. My love for you is definitely not fake."
"I always knew, Mom."
Pursing her lips, Mona forced a smile at Jiang Lan, very reluctantly.
"Oh, this is really a good drama of a loving mother and a filial daughter. It really makes people feel sick."
If possible, Jiang Lan really wanted to tear the broken mouth in front of her apart. Every word she said could arouse her anger so perfectly that it made people want to cut her into pieces.
As soon as this thought came to mind, the other party continued to fiddle with it.
"Now, let me go."
"You're dreaming!"
"Are you dreaming? Let's give it a try." Anastasia teased with a smile.
"It's impossible to reconcile the two sides at this point. Since we are both so determined, I will count to three. Either you kill me or Ellie will stab your daughter."
"three."
"two."
"one!"
"enough!"
Unable to accept the outcome of his daughter being buried with Anastasia, Jiang Lan lost the first round of the game and dejectedly removed his hand from her neck.
"It's really frustrating. Emotions are indeed your biggest weakness."
"Not everyone is as cold-blooded as you."
"After all, I am a cold-blooded viper." Anastasia was not at all annoyed by Jiang Lan's provocation, but rather felt proud of it.
It was not easy to reach this situation. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She would never agree to it just to save her life, so naturally she pressed for more and started the second round of bargaining.
"Okay, let's continue with the deal. Your life in exchange for your daughter's life."
He unfolded the array pattern in his hand, and all the dark elements around him gathered in it. The momentum moved Jiang Lan. If she was caught off guard and took this attack, even she, Jiang Lan, would lose half her life.
"Let me test you, who is more important, yourself or your daughter. If you dodge my attack, your daughter will die. If you don't dodge and take it, I will let your daughter go."
"Another lie."
One blow will surely be followed by another, and this game will continue until she dies.
"But what else can you do? I say, why not just give up on her."
Hearing these words, Jiang Lan couldn't help but feel dizzy, and even staggered forward a few steps.
Although Anastasia's words were unpleasant to hear, they hit the nail on the head.
"To be honest, I only planted this one hidden pawn. Eudomia is a conservative and I used her as a pawn. Based on her personality, your second child might be able to survive in the city now. And your little daughter Lilith also escaped by luck. Even I can't find the destination of the teleportation array, so it must be safe."
"You guys are really interesting. You and Ursula, a great magician at the peak of the Saint Rank who can rival me, are willing to die for the Demon King's daughter. Now your three daughters are still alive, so you have to make another choice. If you live, you can probably save your two daughters, but if you don't, there will be no place for them in the two worlds. All three daughters will die. So, will you give up Mona now?"
"Count to three and tell me your answer."
This is the way a viper teases its prey, cunning and effective, and it easily broke through Jiang Lan and Mona's psychological defenses.
Even a crack was created.
