Then, Hal, following his agreement with Ye Xunhuan, slowly walked to one side of the rooftop, took out a black bottle from his body, placed it on the ground, and raised his hand towards Ye Xunhuan, saying: "Marshal, I've put the stuff here, you can come and take it!"

Saying this, Hal stepped back to the side.

The distance Hal retreated was not far from the bottle he placed on the ground.

He had to make preparation, after all, Ye Xunhuan was too powerful. If he retreated too far, and Ye Xunhuan killed Di Xi with a sword then went to get the antidote, what would he do?

So, Hal controlled the distance very well. As long as Ye Xunhuan killed Di Xi, he would destroy the antidote immediately and then escape.

If Ye Xunhuan really let Di Xi go, then he wouldn't be foolish enough to destroy the antidote.

Doing so would only anger Ye Xunhuan, making him attack them again and kill them one by one!

So now, as long as Ye Xunhuan went to get the antidote, he and Di Xi would leave immediately.

Ye Xunhuan was also clear about Hal's intentions and could understand them. If it were him, he would do the same.

Ye Xunhuan glanced at Di Xi and said coldly: "At the Black List Tournament, if you dare to appear, I will definitely kill you!"

With those words, Ye Xunhuan put away the sharp sword, and his figure swiftly disappeared front Di Xi's sight.

Upon seeing this, Hal quickly dodged out of sight as well.

Di Xi also dared not make a move against Qiu Ruoxi, but rather fled quickly.

It's not that he didn't want to act against Qiu Ruoxi, but he felt he had little chance of success and would also anger Ye Xunhuan.

The smartest choice now was to leave.

After Ye Xunhuan grabbed the black bottle in his hand, the killing intent on his body suddenly surged madly: "Did I let you go?"

As the words came out, it was like a tiger's roar, like muffled thunder, buzzing in the air. Ye Xunhuan's low roar seemed to be in sync with Di Xi and Hal's heartbeats, directly disrupting their heartbeat frequency and causing their figures to halt slightly.

At that moment, Ye Xunhuan moved!

"Swish!"

Ye Xunhuan's figure flashed, immediately appearing in mid-air with a series of afterimages.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan nearly unleashed his speed to the extreme, entirely like a black lightning bolt, flashing to Di Xi's back, and swung the sharp sword in his hand directly at Di Xi!

"Whoosh..."

A sword swung out, as if tearing cloth, produced a piercing sound.

Facing the charging sword from Ye Xunhuan, Di Xi's face changed drastically, an icy cold death intent instantly enveloped his entire body, and he had an illusion in his heart—he couldn't dodge this sword, no matter how he tried, he couldn't avoid it.

He was completely locked in, locked in by Ye Xunhuan's killing intent.

After this feeling surged in his heart, Di Xi didn't dodge, instead hurriedly used the tarot cards on his body as hidden weapons, hurling them towards Ye Xunhuan!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The tarot cards flew like darts at incredible speed.

Yet as soon as these tarot cards neared Ye Xunhuan, it seemed as if they were blocked by an invisible wall, and they also emitted sounds as they fell to the ground!

Seeing this strange scene, Di Xi's face changed dramatically, and four words involuntarily emerged in his mind—Body Protecting Qi!

He... He used Body Protecting Qi just to kill me?

Indeed, at this moment Ye Xunhuan had used Body Protecting Qi.

He knew Di Xi's tarot cards were powerful, and also knew they couldn't break his Body Protecting Qi, so he used it.

"Swish!"

And by this time, Ye Xunhuan was already in front of Di Xi, and the sharp blade in his hand shot straight towards Di Xi's throat.

Facing the sharp blade aimed at him, Di Xi seemed scared silly, making no move at all, standing there dazedly, waiting for death.

At this critical moment, Hal, who somehow had appeared, suddenly pushed Di Xi out of the way.

"Poof!"

Hal's push saved Di Xi's life, but his own body was pierced by Ye Xunhuan's sword, crimson blood gushing out.

"Di Xi, go quickly..." Hal shouted desperately.

Seeing Hal blocking the fatal blow for him, Di Xi's pupils contracted sharply, instinctively shouting, "Hal..."

"Go..."

Just as Hal spoke the word, Ye Xunhuan's right leg suddenly kicked out!

"Bang!"

A heavy kick landed on Hal's body, knocking him off from the sword, plummeting toward the building's lower floors.

It's imaginable that falling from tens of floors, Hal's fate could only be death!

"Hal..."

"Go quickly..."

Hal, as he fell rapidly from the rooftop, let out a roar of anger.

"Marshal, at the Black List Tournament, I want you dead!"

With those words, Di Xi's figure, like a monkey and also like a cat, quickly jumped and fled from the rooftop.

In an instant, his figure turned into a black dot, slowly vanishing into the night.

Watching Di Xi disappear, Ye Xunhuan did not pursue him but turned to walk towards Qiu Ruoxi.

Qiu Ruoxi still stood where she was, unmoving.

Ye Xunhuan, upon arriving at her side, urgently asked with concern, "Honey, are you alright?"

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's anxious and concerned appearance, Qiu Ruoxi shook her head slightly, calmly asking, "What about you?"

"I'm fine!" Ye Xunhuan sighed softly, "Just let one of them escape!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan seemed to realize something, hastily took out the bottle Hal had placed on the ground earlier, opened it, and took out a cylindrical capsule!

"Honey, this is the antidote they left behind..."

Just as Ye Xunhuan began to speak, Qiu Ruoxi interrupted, "You know, before you came, I was thinking about something?"

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words suddenly, Ye Xunhuan was slightly stunned: "Honey, you should take the antidote first?"

Qiu Ruoxi seemed not to hear Ye Xunhuan's words, as if talking to herself, "I was wondering, during our argument, would you come to save me?"

"Moreover, I'm so unworthy, I don't know tenderness, never showed you a good face, never gave you dignity, often despised you..."

"How could I not come to save you, you're my wife!" Ye Xunhuan gently interrupted Qiu Ruoxi's words.

"Just because I'm your wife, is it responsibility?" Qiu Ruoxi asked, staring intently at Ye Xunhuan.
