Li Chen's gaze turned icy as he condensed a Light Blade at his fingertips, coldly stating, "Yuann Yutong, I'll say it one last time—let go of Lan Huanxi!"
As he spoke, he took a bold step forward.
Yuann Yutong, seeing the Light Blade flicker at Li Chen's fingertips, was utterly terrified.
"Li Chen, stop right there! Don't come any closer. Take one more step, and I really will kill her!"
However, Li Chen paid no heed and continued to stride determinedly forward.
"Come on then, make your move. Let's see whose sword is faster, yours or mine?"
Hearing Li Chen's words, Yuann Yutong felt an impending sense of doom.
"Lan Huanxi, do you see? The man you love doesn't care about your life or death at all!"
Following a furious outburst, he fiercely raised his dagger, stabbing towards Lan Huanxi's pale neck.
In that instant, a dazzling bolt of lightning streaked past his eyes.
