484: Chapter 484 Hu Li’s Threat 484: Chapter 484 Hu Li’s Threat “Hades, do you think this is possible?
Now that both women’s Inner Strength are sealed by me, they are no different from ordinary people.
Just a slight slice on their necks with my knife, and they will be gone forever.” Hu Li brandished a dagger near Athena’s neck, seemingly ready to fiercely slash at any moment…
“Wait, don’t get agitated, we can negotiate.” Ye Shikai, who is usually calm, also started to get anxious.
Now both hostages were in her hands, and with Hu Li being a highly skilled cultivator, Ye Shikai absolutely couldn’t rescue them right in front of her.
So, now he needed to delay as a strategy.
First, hold her off, then find a way to save them, but Hu Li’s current frenzied state worried Ye Shikai.
Was there still room for negotiation?
Sure, Hades, for your sake, I can give you some room to choose.” Suddenly, Hu Li smirked slyly, retracting the dagger in her hand.
“Good, speak quickly.”
“Take this, inhale deeply from it, then hand over the Fire and Air Elements, and exchange your life for their two lives.” Hu Li pulled out a white handkerchief from her pocket and tossed it in front of Ye Shikai.
“Hmm… hmm…” At that moment, Athena and Chuanzi violently shook their bodies, their heads shaking even more violently.
Ye Shikai had already guessed that the handkerchief had special chemicals that could seal a cultivator’s Inner Strength.
If Ye Shikai inhaled the chemical, then he would be utterly helpless in front of Hu Li, and he would have to be used as a sacrificial offering to exchange for the lives of the two women.
But if he didn’t do so, then the two women would die in front of him.
“What do you think, Hades, are you willing or not?
I don’t have much patience.” Hu Li’s face looked cruel, and the dagger on Athena’s neck lightly drew a blood streak, just above the carotid artery.
“I, I agree, do not harm them.” Ye Shikai pivoted and blurted out his agreement, as Athena had stood by him in his most perilous moments; at this critical juncture, Ye Shikai couldn’t leave them behind.
“Ha ha, very well, you truly are a man for not abandoning them.” The corners of Hu Li’s mouth curved up slightly.
“But how can I trust you, what if you go back on your word?” Ye Shikai retorted.
“I swear by the name of Atlantis, I keep my word.”
“Then fine, I’ll trust you once.”
“Wait, you want to take out the Fire and Air Elements.” Suddenly, Hu Li interrupted Ye Shikai’s action; she had previously noticed the characteristic of the Storage Ring that it required Inner Strength to open, otherwise once Ye Shikai’s Inner Strength was sealed, the two elements couldn’t be taken out.
With a flicker of nervousness across his face, Ye Shikai had no choice but to activate his Inner Strength, take out the two elements, and threw them in front of Hu Li.
“Now, pick up the handkerchief.” Hu Li’s face took on a slightly crazed look, urging Ye Shikai immediately.
“Hmm… hmm…” Athena and Chuanzi shook their heads vigorously, signaling to Ye Shikai not to do this.
Their hearts were filled with regret, as on that day the two women had first left through a side path and encountered Hu Li, who they had thought was a harmless girl, but they had been tricked by her, and even Athena, a Main God, was caught off guard and tightly bound by a rope, completely unable to move.
“Keep it down, Hades, and hurry up,” Hu Li turned his head and yelled at Athena.
Ye Shikai slowly placed the handkerchief in front of his nose; he had to do this, otherwise, Athena would have been dead…
A pungent smell of the potion hit his brain, Ye Shikai felt as though his brain was being pierced by needles, the pain was unbearable, and at the same time, it felt like all the strength in his body was being drained, hardly able to muster any energy.
What in the world is this stuff?
“Ha-ha, this potion was developed by my father, specifically to target cultivators,” Hu Li slowly approached Ye Shikai, who was rolling on the ground in pain, and gently kicked him.
let them go,” Ye Shikai, enduring the severe pain in his brain, hugged his head with both hands and said with difficulty.
“How naive you are, Hades, do you really think making me swear would work?” Hu Li slowly squatted down, placed his hand under Ye Shikai’s chin, “All three of you are now my sacrifices.”
“What a cunning fox (Hu Li).” Suddenly, a faint voice sounded behind Hu Li.
As the voice dropped, Hu Li’s pupils shrank, a bad premonition rising in his heart, and the Ye Shikai lying on the ground slightly curved the corners of his mouth up.
When Hu Li turned around, another Ye Shikai had already untied the ropes on Athena and Chuanzi…
In a flash, the Ye Shikai beneath Hu Li’s feet abruptly turned into a puff of smoke, this change happened so swiftly, astonishing everyone.
“Hades, I didn’t expect you to also know the Clone Skills of the Iga Family,” Chuanzi rolled her eyes at Ye Shikai, yes, the previous Ye Shikai was just an avatar, while his true self had sneaked behind Hu Li when he approached, and secretly saved the two women.
“I have no interest in the Iga Family,” Ye Shikai coldly said, “Rescue you, and still so much talk.”
“You…” Chuanzi wanted to get angry, but she held it back; she had not yet recovered her Inner Strength and couldn’t fight anyway.
“Are you alright?” Ye Shikai asked with concern.
“I’m fine, just feeling very sore in my limbs,” Athena relaxed her body a bit; they had been imprisoned by Hu Li for several days.
“Hades, you dared to deceive me.” Hu Li crushed the Fire Element and the Qi Element into dust, indeed, it was a fake, Hu Li was so angry that he shattered a glass cup beside him.
“Hu Li, here’s a saying from Huaxia, ‘all’s fair in war,’ haven’t you also deceived me?” Ye Shikai said, while taking out two Shennong Pills from his Storage Ring.
“Then take this,” Ye Shikai said flatly, Shennong Pill, immune to all poisons, should be able to counteract Hu Li’s special potion.
“Ha-ha, fine then, all three of you will die here then,” Hu Li bellowed, and Ye Shikai felt the ground continuously vibrating as if something was rushing their way.
“Roar roar.” Suddenly, five huge beasts rushed into the tomb chamber, slowly moved behind Hu Li, and stood like guards.
“Didn’t expect this, did you, Hades?
These huge beasts obey my commands.
Do you think you can stand against them?” Hu Li laughed triumphantly.
“What, how is this possible.” All three were greatly shocked; these giant beasts were raised by Hu Li, meaning, they weren’t the guardians of the tomb at all.
