Where did the World-Termination-Armour come from?
That major question swirled around Ji Fengyan’s mind.
Situ Ba secretly felt a sense of relief on seeing Ji Fengyan deep in thought. He hurriedly said, “General Ji, in the end, I am also in a bind. I cannot defy His Majesty’s orders. As for your father’s and General Yang’s deaths, I offer you my apologies now. I swear that I will cause no kind of trouble for you in the future. The Green Nightmare Army will be your sworn brothers from now on.”
Afraid that Ji Fengyan would once again feel the urge to kill him, Situ Ba continued. “General Ji, we are now in the demons’ lair. This generation of demons will soon have a new Demon King born. I will take down the Demon Kings of both generations with you. I guarantee that the credit for that victory will all go to you. If I return, I will report to His Majesty that the victory was all due to you.”
Situ Ba spoke fast. Despite his calm manner, his tone belied his underlying panic.
“I never intended to harm you. It was all Zhan Fei’s doing! He was carrying out the Eldest Princess’s orders to kill you. I didn’t do…”
Before Situ Ba could finish his sentence, Ji Fengyan suddenly pressed the sword down harder on his neck. The chilliness of that sharp blade spread throughout Situ Ba’s body. A strong oppressive sensation immediately halted Situ Ba’s tongue.
“General Situ.” Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes at the petrified Situ Ba.
“I may be young but don’t think you can trick me as though I am a three-year-old kid? It is true the Eldest Princess had sent Zhan Fei to kill me, but… what about you? You killed my father—are you not afraid I would someday seek revenge?” Ji Fengyan smirked. “I fear that your desire to kill me is as strong as the Eldest Princess’.”
Situ Ba’s heart jumped and his entire body froze. Ji Fengyan had seen through him.
Even without Eldest Princess and Zhan Fei, Situ Ba would not have allowed Ji Fengyan to survive.
“General Situ, don’t waste your breath spouting lies that even children would find hard to believe.” Ji Fengyan lifted her chin and cast a cold eye across the dumbstruck soldiers.
To everyone present, Situ Ba’s words were the curse of death.
Never mind if it were false.
But if it were true…
Not one of them could hope to live if news of this spread.
“Linghe.” Ji Fengyan suddenly spoke up.
Ji Fengyan’s voice woke Linghe from his trance. He instinctively raised his head to see Ji Fengyan waving at him.
Linghe immediately went over.
“General,” Linghe said.
Ji Fengyan took out her evil-vanquishing sword from her Space Soul Jade and handed it over to Linghe.
Linghe stared at the sword in a daze. He looked in astonishment at Ji Fengyan.
“General, you are…”
“I know, you have always wanted to seek vengeance for my father. Now… I am giving you this chance.” Ji Fengyan smiled.
Linghe was completely startled.
Meanwhile, Situ Ba’s eyes widened as he suddenly sensed Ji Fengyan’s powerful desire to kill him.
“General, I…” Linghe never thought that Ji Fengyan would actually offer him the chance to kill their nemesis.
Ji Fengyan grinned at Linghe. She did not have many memories of Ji Yun. The hatred carried by her former self was totally incomparable to that of Linghe’s, who had been by Ji Yun’s side for so many years.
