In fact, I'm just putting on a show, and I won't really leave, because even if I can't kill Ao Jie this time, then Zhang Shun and Chai Li are still trapped in the nine-bend and eighteen-bend array, and I can't ignore the two of them. In that case, how can I face Hu Mint and Hu Yidao, as well as Chai Gang and Chai Tao.

I floated in the air, but instead of drifting away, I floated in front of Ao Jie.

Ao Jie gritted his teeth: "Li Ming, I'm worried, you must not challenge my bottom line." If you annoy me, even if you have artifact bubbles, I'll have to fight you. ”

I smiled and said, "Ao Jie, in fact, I didn't leave to pretend to be forced, but to make a deal with you." ”

"Deal, what deal?" Ao Jie's expression looked a little strange.

Actually, the reason why I've been brewing for so long is for this moment. Because Zhang Shun and Chai Li have been in the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends Formation for so long, maybe they are already in danger, and now it is absolutely unrealistic to expect me to kill Ao Jie and make the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends Great Array disappear. That's why I came up with the idea of using a copycat bubble to fool Ao Jie first, and then negotiate terms with him. After all, Ao Jie really wanted to kill me, but because I had artifact bubbles on my body, he couldn't kill me, but I was afraid that he would hate me for a long time. As for me, I must not watch Zhang Shun and Chai Li trapped in the nine-bend and eighteen-bend formation and die unexpectedly. Since we both have needs in this area, then there is something to talk about.

So, I said with a sincere face: "Ao Jie, if you promise me a condition, I will fight you head-on, and promise to give up the use of bubbles, will you agree?"

"Oh, Li Ming, your idea is not much different from sending him to death. This aroused my curiosity even more, what exactly do you want me to do? Exit Black Rock City directly? Even if I quit Black Rock City directly, you won't even have your life, what can you change?" Ao Jie didn't seem to expect me to put forward such a condition, so my words aroused his curiosity enough.

I laughed: "I have the advantage of being a person, that is, when I talk about trading, I never mention anything unrealistic. ”

Ao Jie stepped forward: "Really, the more you say that, the more curious I become. I really want to hear what is more important in your heart and who is more important than your own life?"

I stabbed Ao Jie fiercely: "This is the difference between the two of us." You can let your brother take a big risk to go to the City Lord's Mansion to assassinate me, not to mention that he didn't succeed, and even if he succeeded, he wouldn't be able to come back alive. Also, I won't use my own woman as a shield for my own life!"

I'm actually deliberately provoking him, and only by making him hate me more will the deal between us be easier.

"Li Ming, don't pretend to be a saint and gentleman in front of me? I don't believe that in this world, anyone will value other people's lives more than their own. After all, any money, status, beauty, in the face of life, is not worth mentioning, because when people die, there is nothing!" Sure enough, the green tendons on Ao Jie's temples burst out, and it seemed that he might go berserk at any time. Of course, this kind of thing to provoke him has to be grasped to a certain degree, and if I go too far, he will attack me desperately, and then all my previous efforts will be in vain.

"Yes, people don't die for themselves, and there are not many people who can sacrifice themselves to fulfill others, but fortunately, there are many around me. Just like Zhang Shun and Chai Li, in order to cover for me so that I can come here to assassinate you smoothly, the two of them voluntarily entered the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends Great Array. Since they can even give up their lives for me, then if I, the city lord, don't I have to laugh and be generous if I don't do something for them!"

I also took a step forward, stared closely at Ao Jie's eyes, and said word by word: "So, the condition for me to give up the use of the artifact bubble is that you open the Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends Great Array, and let Zhang Shun and Chai Li go together." ”

"Is this true?" Ao Jie still looked incredulous.

I smiled: "Really, because at this time, it is more comfortable for me to go home to accompany my wife than to fool you here." ”

Ao Jie still looked at me with suspicion: "Li Ming, you are known for your scheming, so I don't believe you, you have to do something first, and then you can talk to me about releasing people." ”

What I was waiting for was Ao Jie's words, because since he said so, he was ready to agree to trade with me. Therefore, I didn't say any more nonsense, but silently recited the mantra, and then exerted my spiritual power, and pointed to the open space between me and Ao Jie with my hand, only to see a huge bubble appear, how good it is for one person, it looks crystal clear, and it looks very beautiful against the backdrop of the light from the Star Picking Tower.

Ao Jie's eyes finally changed when he looked at me: "Li Ming, this is the artifact bubble?"

I didn't respond positively to what he said, "What do you say, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try." ”

"Of course we have to try, because we are hostile and I can't trust you. As he spoke, Ao Jie had already grabbed the bubble with lightning speed, which was the dragon clan's skill dragon claw.

It's really more popular than people, the dragon claw hand I saw from the three-headed Jiao at the beginning, and then I learned it myself, but Ao Jie's dragon claw hand is much more powerful than the two of us, and the hand grabs it casually, and there is the sound of wind and thunder, as if the heaven and earth near the star picking tower have changed color.

Seeing that his moves are so ferocious, I am a little worried about whether my copycat version of the bubble can hold up, if I can't hold it, then everything is over, not only Zhang Shun and Chai Li can't be saved, but I also have to get into it myself. However, no matter how worried I am, I can't do anything about it, it's up to this copycat bubble to behave on its own.

The artifact bubble really didn't disappoint me, although it was a copycat version, but it was also a small doppelganger of the bubble, Ao Jie's fierce dragon claw hand hit the bubble, and it only made it collapse a little bit into a small pit, and it quickly returned to its original state.

"Artifact Bubble, it really deserves its name!" Ao Jie blinked his eyes, smacked his lips, and then said: "Li Ming, do you really want to make this deal with me? You must know that without the artifact bubble, you can't make a few moves under my hands." ”

I laughed, "Isn't that just right, you can take the opportunity to kill me and avenge your brother and the red fish!"

In fact, although Ao Jie still has some words in his heart that he has not spoken, I understand his complex psychology. After all, he had sacrificed his brother for his own life, and then pulled his own woman as a shield, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing so. But when he saw that I was willing to put myself in danger for the sake of my subordinates, he may have felt ashamed of himself for the first time in his heart.

Hehe, it is also quite awesome to make Ao Jie ashamed of himself once. Because this kind of person has a kind of arrogance in his bones, even if you have a higher status than him, even if you kill him, it is impossible for him to be ashamed of himself, I am afraid that it is something that Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, can't do, and I just did it.

Ao Jie looked at me and suddenly said, "Li Ming, if you hand over the bubble so easily, aren't you afraid that I will go back on your word? If I don't release people and want to kill you again, won't you suffer a big loss? After all, you are all my enemies, and I will not have any burden on my conscience in any way I use to deal with you." ”

I shook my head: "Ao Jie, although we are meeting for the first time, I think I know you very well. Before no one can endanger your life, you are still quite an atmospheric person. Besides, how can you be a noble and proud dragon, how can you do something that goes back on your word, so I believe that you can make a fool of yourself as much as you believe in yourself. ”

"Li Ming, you are really clever and eloquent! I have to admit that I appreciate you more and more. If the two of us are not your mortal enemies, how good it would be! Okay! I promise you! Let them go!" I saw Ao Jie put the middle fingers of both hands on the center of his eyebrows, and there were words in his mouth, and then he looked at the outside of the Star Picking Tower, only to see a golden light flashing, and the scene in front of me completely changed, if the feeling I had before was weird and mysterious and uncontrollable, then now everything is suddenly clear.

"Chai Li, the Nine Bends and Eighteen Bends Great Array has disappeared, it seems that the city lord has killed Ao Jie, we have won the bet!"

This is Zhang Shun's voice, although this city is very deep, except for facing Chai Li, who is an enemy, he has always liked to be moody, but now he is obviously out of shape.

"Yes, Zhang Shun, we won the bet. Chai Li was also quite excited, but soon she said embarrassedly: "Originally, I thought that I would definitely die, so I mustered up the courage to enter the Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends Great Formation with you, and now that the two of us are back alive, the city lord They will definitely make fun of the two of us, are you really a little embarrassed?"

Zhang Shun smiled: "What's so embarrassing about this, anyway, sooner or later there will always be such a day, why not take this opportunity to settle the matter between the two of us, and then let the city lord marry, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Chai Li quit: "You want to be beautiful, who said I was going to marry you?"

"I'm not beautiful in the first place, and if I don't think about it, I won't be able to live this life. "Thick-skinned, eat a piece of meat, thin-skinned, can't eat. Zhang Shun seems to know this well, and he has begun to play a little tricky when he speaks.
