The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

Wen Li immediately stood up and moved her limbs slightly.

Then he drew his long knife, which was both long and wide, and the moment it was drawn, it cut Liang Tiantian's arm.

Blood gushed out instantly. Liang Tiantian glanced at the wound on her arm; it was quite deep.

"What an impolite little dwarf."

Wen Li ignored the person at her feet and just yelled, "Get out of my way!"

Those guarding her glanced at Wen Li and remained silent. She had been sitting there for two days, channeling her spiritual energy, and although the process was slow, it had still consumed a considerable amount of it.

No matter how powerful they are, they need to recover first; it's too dangerous to charge out immediately.

But seeing her like this, no one dared to stop her, for fear that her long sword would fall on them at any moment.

The moment the barrier cracked open, the person rushed out.

Wen Li looked at the densely packed demons with excitement in her eyes.

She's been really bored these past two days!

Wen Liguang gripped his long sword as if he had inexhaustible strength, each strike drawing blood and killing the enemy.

So many demons are just what Wen Li wanted; she could kill more than one with a single wave of her hand.

For a moment, the demons couldn't get close to her at all.

Some demons even shouted, "Danger! Don't go near that madwoman!"

"Run! She's charging this way!"

The soldiers inside the barrier couldn't help but swallow hard. They were this powerful even without using spiritual energy. It seemed they still had a long way to go.

Only after Wen Li's figure completely disappeared from sight did Liang Tiantian turn her gaze back.

This short guy who likes to court death seems to have changed quite a bit.

Get out! Get out! Get out...

Wen Li gripped her long sword and ran forward, leaping between streets and houses. Her speed was so great that almost nothing could catch her.

As for those who are blind and block her way, just kill them.

No one could stop her, no one could.

She didn't know when, but she ended up in a desolate, empty alley.

"Ah Li!"

Wen Li's legs, which were moving forward, suddenly stopped. She wondered if she had misheard, otherwise how could she have heard this sound?

“Ah Li”.

The voice behind her sounded again. Wen Li gripped the long sword in her hand and turned around.

Shen Yannan was covered in injuries, with blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was clutching his abdomen with one hand and supporting himself against the wall with the other. His mouth was turned up, revealing teeth stained with blood.

"Long time no see, Ali."

Wen Li frowned as she looked at his injuries, and had no choice but to quickly walk to his side and pull him into a dilapidated house.

"What happened to you? Why are you in such a mess?"

As she spoke, Wen Li quickly took out medicine from her spatial storage and skillfully bandaged his wound, though her movements were rough and hasty. Shen Yannan gritted his teeth in pain, remaining silent.

"You think you've lived too long? Coming here? Is your brain filled with shit? All you ever do is court death! Who did you mess with? Or is one of our enemies after you? I don't have time to protect you right now. Take your medicine, and if you can escape, do so. If you can't, hide well..."

Shen Yannan didn't speak, but listened quietly to her. It felt like they hadn't talked like this in a long time.

They seem to rarely experience being separated for several months.

Wen Li bandaged Shen Yannan's wound and then tossed him a bottle of medicine.

She stood up, turned around, and was about to leave; she had things to do.

But as soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed.

“Ah Li, this time, I’ve come to take you away.”

Wen Li frowned, thinking she had misheard, and asked, "Take me away?"

Shen Yannan looked at her and patiently explained, "Ali, you can't stay by Shen Yingsi's side anymore. He's in danger now, and he could hurt you at any time."

"I've encountered quite a few assassination attempts on my way from the capital. News came from Manzhou that many unidentified demon hunters have recently appeared. Fortunately, the private soldiers haven't been discovered yet."

"Although I don't know how Shen Yingsi discovered my plan, it won't be long before he wipes out me and everyone around me."

“We’re in cahoots, he won’t let you go. Let’s escape together while he’s busy with his own problems.”

Wen Li looked at him: "Escape?"

Shen Yannan thought she was worried about the future, so he said, "Don't worry, Ali, I can protect you once you escape and help you clear the Jiang family's name. Jiuying has already entered the city, and I tricked her into killing Shen Yingsi first."

"We escaped from Yueban and immediately went to Manzhou to start a rebellion. When Shen Yingsi's poison takes effect and Guigu is unsealed, the world will be in chaos..."

"enough!"

Wen Li suddenly yelled and violently flung Shen Yannan's hand away.

Shen Yannan slammed his hand against the wall, causing the newly bandaged wound to reopen, and the white gauze gradually turned red.

But he didn’t realize that he felt extremely uneasy and fearful, as if he was about to lose something.

"What's wrong? Ali, don't you believe me?"

Shen Yannan endured the pain, leaned against the wall and slowly got up, his eyes never leaving Wen Li's face.

He wanted to see the expression on her face and know what she was thinking.

Wen Li was also looking at him.

"Anan, stop. You won't have a good ending if you continue like this."

"I know!!"

Shen Yannan seemed unable to understand what Wen Li was saying, and even felt that the person in front of him was somewhat unfamiliar.

“I don’t care about what will happen to me in the future, I just want to know if Ali will stop me like everyone else? Didn’t we agree that we would stand by each other no matter how heinous or rebellious the things we did? Aren’t I your best and only friend? What’s wrong with Ali now?”

Wen Li looked at him with an expression that Shen Yannan had never seen before, so serious.

“Anan, I have finally found the path I want to uphold in this life.”

"This path was not imposed on me by anyone; it was one I discovered myself, a path I genuinely wanted to take from the bottom of my heart."

Shen Yannan forced himself to remain calm: "That's great, Ali. What kind of path is it? Can I help you with it in the future?"

He reached for her wrist again, but she slapped it away once more.

"This path is the same one you have always adhered to. This is the path I will walk with all my might, with everything I have, even if it means being shattered to pieces. Nothing and no one can stop me from moving forward."

After Wen Li said that, neither of them spoke for a long time. Shen Yannan listened quietly, waiting for her to continue, waiting for her conclusion.

The dilapidated, crumbling little house seemed especially eerie at this moment.

“But, Anan, the path you uphold is now blocking my way.”

After saying her last sentence, Wen Li took two steps back to distance herself from Shen Yannan.

"What do you mean? What do you mean? Ali, do you want me to make way for you?"

Make way?

Shen Yannan is not the type of person who would give way to others, and neither is Wen Li!

Anyone who dares to block their way, even if they crash into a rock and die, will be laughed and smug as long as they get their clothes dirty or bring bad luck to others. They call them stupid pigs who have no eyes!

Similar upbringing and ten years of growing up together have made them so alike and so familiar with each other.

"Shen Yannan, what I mean is that I will eliminate anyone or anything that stands in my way. Even if it's you! Even if it's you! I will kill you without hesitation!"

Wen Li’s words overlapped with Shen Yannan’s words from her previous life.

"Wen Li, I will eliminate anyone or anything that stands in my way. Even if it's you! Even if it's you, I'll still kill you without hesitation! So please! Don't go against me!"

What did she say back then?

She said, "Come on! Go ahead and kill! Slash here! If you chicken out, my sword won't hold back!"

She said, "Shen Yannan! It's clearly you who's stopping me from moving forward! It's you who's preventing me from investigating the Jiang family case! We're friends, each other's only true friends, so we should help each other. I helped you become emperor, and you helped me investigate the Jiang family's wrongful case. Now you're suddenly going back on your word, how is it that my investigation is blocking your way? Fine, if you have the guts, then cut off my head! Don't think I'll make way for you! You want to trap me here now, so I'll cut off your head right now."

They were locked in a fierce confrontation, neither willing to back down, and they were certain that the other side would not yield either.

Whether in their past life or now, they are destined to be apart.
