Wang Wengang's face suddenly changed drastically.

If it is really as Su Qingqing said that Jiang Chen has a trace of consciousness and can hear others talking, doesn't that mean that once he wakes up, he can immediately confirm the fact that I wanted to kill him?

"Qing Qing, don't believe him, he's in cahoots with the pirates!"

The panic in Wang Wengang's heart overcame his previous fear. Earlier, it was the fear brought on by seeing Zhao Zhong die so close, but now, he's afraid that if Jiang Chen wakes up and proves that he wanted to kill Jiang Chen, everything would be over!

Su Qingqing completely ignored Wang Wengang and stared directly at Swift Wind Wolf.

"I'll take it!"

Swift Wind Wolf reacted, hastily took out a small jade vial from his pocket, and tossed it to Su Qingqing.

Whoosh!

A figure shot swiftly towards the jade vial, intercepting it in mid-air.

Screech!

"Ah!"

At the same time, the sound of a blade piercing flesh resounded, and Wang Wengang let out a miserable scream.

Swift Wind Wolf, seeing the elixir snatched, directly stabbed a knife into Wang Wengang's shoulder, pushing it in hard. Meanwhile, his other hand reached behind his waist, pulling out a dagger and pressing it against his neck.

"What are you doing!" Su Qingqing exclaimed in surprise.

"Li Zhe, do you want to kill Young Master Wang?" The elder surnamed Zhang at the door shouted angrily.

Li Zhe, who had rushed into the middle of everyone, glanced at the elixir in his hand, then looked up and sneered, "Zhang Chu, are you satisfied? As a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster, you're just a bodyguard for a rich second-generation heir, are you content with that?"

"What do you mean? He's the president's nephew!" Zhang Chu frowned and said in a low voice.

Swift Wind Wolf's eyes shifted slightly. He signaled to a few people, dragged Wang Wengang back a few steps to lean against the wall, while the others pulled Su Qingqing and Lin Ya to the wall at the foot of the bed, standing next to Jiang Chen's head.

Li Zhe is a Heavenly Level Martial Artist. If he disregards the safety of the hostages and suddenly acts, no one present can withstand his attack!

"What about being the president's nephew? Why did we join the Martial Alliance? To enhance our skills, but now? We are sent to protect a spoiled heir, and one without martial talent at that. What resources can we get?" Li Zhe spoke in a deep voice.

Zhang Chu's eyes flickered with a glint, momentarily lost in thought.

"Zhang Chu, listen to me. Let's join forces and kill these pirates. They won't dare to kill Miss Lin. We capture Miss Lin, get resources from Lin Bingrui, and then take Miss Lin to a safe place and let her go."

Li Zhe tried to persuade Zhang Chu: "This way, Miss Lin will be safe. Given the current situation in the Martial Dao World, Lin Bingrui won't waste his resources pursuing us. By then, we won't just have more freedom, but also access to resources to improve our skills, why not?"

They were the only two Heavenly Level Martial Artists present, and if they joined forces, no one could stop them. But if Zhang Chu tried to stop him, Li Zhe wouldn't be able to achieve his goal!

"Li Zhe, you bastard! What are you trying to do? Do you want us killed?"

Wang Wengang roared in pain from the intense pain in his martial artist's shoulder, his face pallid, mostly from fear.

He suddenly realized that regardless of whether Jiang Chen wakes up, he might not be able to survive!

"Li Zhe, President Lin won't let it slide. My dad will definitely send people to hunt you down till death!" Li Sihui shouted in panic.

Li Zhe glanced disdainfully at Li Sihui and sneered, "Li Sihui, do you really think your dad is that remarkable? Yes, being the number two in a prefecture-level city is impressive, but he doesn't intimidate me. Besides, where is this? It's Dingjing, Lin's home turf."

"Your dad, that number two in Dingjing, is ranked second only after excluding Mr. Lin, those big shots at Dingyun Lake, the Yi Chen Group's leaders, and partners. He's just a mere errand boy with a title. Even a county-level city's number two might be stronger. Do you still take that 'number two' title seriously?"

After glancing at Lin Ya, Li Zhe continued to sarcastically speak: "Li Sihui, Miss Lin is the real princess. You're just a green tea with a 'princess syndrome' but without a 'princess life'!"

"You... you're wrong! It's not like that!"

Li Sihui was completely flustered. Her father was her biggest reliance. Whether Li Zhe's words were true or not, if her father couldn't scare Li Zhe, she might really die here. Li Sihui was utterly panicked!

While Li Zhe was mocking Li Sihui, Swift Wind Wolf, standing at the head of the bed, quietly squeezed Su Qingqing's hand.

Su Qingqing's heart filled with rage, glared fiercely at Swift Wind Wolf, and made a gesture to pull her hand away.

But then, suddenly, Su Qingqing's body stiffened as something small and round was placed in her hand.

In an instant, Su Qingqing understood what it was and gratefully glanced at Swift Wind Wolf before turning to look at Li Zhe and Zhang Chu, who were contemplating.

"I don't care what you plan to do, please give me the elixir first, I need to save Mr. Jiang!" Su Qingqing threw herself on the bed and looked desperately at Li Zhe.

Li Zhe turned to glance at Su Qingqing, and with a cold smile, said, "Save him? Using the Soul Nourishing Pill on him is a waste. I don't care who he is, dead or alive means nothing to me!"

"How can you be so heartless!"

Su Qingqing looked helplessly at Li Zhe, then turned to Jiang Chen, holding his head in her hands, crying, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I'm useless. I can't save you!"

As she spoke, Su Qingqing used her body as a shield to discreetly open Jiang Chen's mouth and slipped the elixir inside.

"Zhang Chu, what about it? Have you made up your mind?"

Li Zhe, ignoring Su Qingqing, turned his attention back to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu glanced at the small jade vial in Li Zhe's hand, and with a deep voice said, "I can agree to cooperate with you, but you have to give me that Soul Nourishing Pill first!"

"Fine! But they need to be killed first, and only after capturing Lin Ya!" Li Zhe bargained, "If you take the elixir and go back on your word, I would incur a big loss!"

Zhang Chu didn't answer but instead gave a cold glance around everyone in the room.

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, don't, don't kill me! Don't cooperate with him, if you do, I'll die!" Wang Wengang shouted in panic.

"Wang Wengang, do you know? Since I was assigned as your bodyguard, I've detested you. Why should I, a Heavenly Peak Grandmaster, be reduced to guarding a spoiled heir like you?"

Zhang Chu spoke coldly, "Just because you have a powerful uncle and a wealthy father? In my eyes, you and your father are garbage among garbage. If it weren't for Wang Boshan, do you really think I'd be willing to stay by your side?"
