Zhang Jiao was about to lose his strength, and he became more and more anxious.
At this critical moment, a sweet voice suddenly reached their ears.
Xiang Kunlun secretly screamed, "Get out of here!"
But it was too late.
Diao Chan had just called her husband, holding a plate of pastries in her hand, when Zhang Jue dodged, turned behind her, and grabbed her throat.
"Don't come here! If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill her."
The pastry and the plate fell to the ground. The plate was shattered into pieces, and the bones of the pastry rolled all over the floor.
Although Diao Chan looks weak, in fact she is not a woman who only cries.
After recovering from the initial shock, Diao Chan quickly understood the situation in front of her.
She didn't struggle desperately or yell, but looked into Xiang Kunlun's eyes.
"Husband, don't listen to him. Diao Chan is yours in life and your ghost in death. Do it!"
Xiang Kunlun clenched his fists and stood motionless as if his feet were nailed.
Diao Chan's eyes burst into tears. She knew Xiang Kunlun loved her.
"Husband, we can no longer hesitate. If we let him go today, we don't know how many innocent people will be harmed."
"If I sacrifice one Diao Chan today, I can exchange the lives of so many people. It's worth it!"
Zhang Jiao felt a headache when he heard this. Why does this woman talk so much
He tightened the strength in his hand for a moment, and Diao Chan groaned in pain.
Xiang Kunlun shouted: "Zhang Jiao, you bully a woman and use her as your shield, are you still a human being?"
Zhang Jiao felt even more proud when he saw that Xiang Kunlun was finally anxious.
"I didn't expect that you also have a weakness! I am not a human being now, so whatever you want to say."
He no longer wanted to talk nonsense to Xiang Kunlun, so he stopped talking. If Xiang Kunlun didn't waste his martial arts for another minute, he would strangle Diao Chan to death.
"There are still 30 seconds left."
"Husband! No! Do it quickly, do it quickly!"
"There are still 20 seconds left."
Of course Xiang Kunlun couldn't abolish his martial arts, but he also couldn't watch Diao Chan die in front of him.
The countdown to Zhang Jiao's death reached his ears, and it felt like every second was as long as a century and as fast as a rocket.
"Xiang Kunlun, don't blame me for not warning you. Either take it easy and make a decision quickly, or rush forward and the three of us will die together."
"What are you doing here, mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"The last five seconds."
Diao Chan suddenly raised her right arm and elbowed Zhang Jiao.
She understood Xiang Kunlun's embarrassment and didn't want Xiang Kunlun to suffer infamy because of herself.
In this case, let her end it all!
Zhang Jiao was still counting down triumphantly, not expecting Diao Chan to suddenly launch an attack.
"you wanna die!"
Seeing that Diao Chan was about to be in danger, Xiang Kunlun suddenly burst out with all his spiritual power and staggered Zhang Jiao.
Taking this opportunity, he pulled Diao Chan over and behind him.
"you!"
Without the hostage, Zhang Jiao became visibly panicked and turned around to escape.
How could Xiang Kunlun give him this opportunity? With a shout, he fought with Zhang Jiao in darkness and successfully killed him.
"Husband!"
Diao Chan and Xiang Kunlun hugged each other tightly.
"Diao Chan thought she would never see her husband again in this life."
"Fortunately, fortunately"
Xiang Kunlun hugged Diao Chan tightly, and suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did Diao Chan's voice gradually become weaker
"Diao Chan?! Call the imperial doctor quickly!"
Xiang Kunlun was shocked and saw that Diao Chan's back was covered in blood and flesh.
It turned out that just at the moment he pulled Diao Chan back, Zhang Jiao gave Diao Chan a heavy blow.
Later, Diao Chan was afraid of disturbing Xiang Kunlun and distracting him, so she endured her serious injuries without saying a word.
The imperial doctor came as quickly as possible, took Diao Chan's pulse and checked the injury, then stroked his beard and looked troubled.
Xiang Kunlun stared at him closely: "How injured are you? Speak!"
The imperial doctor carefully looked at Xiang Kunlun's face: "Reporting to the emperor, my wife is seriously injured, and there is really nothing I can do for you."
When Xiang Kunlun heard this, he was furious: "I can't do anything? What use do I need from you?"
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, explaining that Zhang Jiao's attack contained fire poison, and he had no way to break it.
Xiang Kunlun angrily told him to get out, and then asked doctors from all over the country to be called.
But the results were all the same, they all said it couldn't be cured.
Xiang Kunlun did not believe in evil and continued to ask people to find famous doctors.
Zhuge Liang felt that continuing like this was not an option as Diao Chan's body really couldn't hold him back.
He said tentatively: "Your Majesty, maybe you can try to revive the spiritual energy."
He considered that Zhang Jiao was resurrected because of spiritual energy, and ordinary doctors could not cure him in this city of fire, so he could only place his hope on spiritual energy.
Xiang Kunlun was confused for a moment, and then he realized what Zhuge Liang said.
"You are right. Since the spiritual energy is revived and can produce a being like Zhang Jiao, then there must be a restraining drug!"
"Come here! Go to the extremely cold place to search immediately. Be sure to find the medicinal herbs!"
A large number of people went in different directions to search, including Xiang Kunlun, who also chose the west location.
The more people you search for, the more hope you have.
Xiang Kunlun traveled day and night, and his spiritual energy detected in Mingming that there seemed to be herbs that could really cure the disease.
"Is this direction, north?"
"Bring me the map!"
The subordinate handed over the map.
Xiang Kunlun took a closer look and found that to the north was the extremely cold place in the north.
There was obvious excitement in his expression: "The herbs are here!"
The subordinate said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, it may be difficult to get the herbs."
"Why?"
The subordinate explained that he had also heard from others that there was a monster guarding that place.
Many people tried to get the precious medicinal materials inside, but they were all eaten by the monster.
Xiang Kunlun is gearing up. This is the herb that can save Diao Chan's life. No matter how dangerous it is, he must get it.
The northern land is covered with endless white snow, the ice on the ground is countless feet thick, and it is surrounded by continuous snow-capped mountains.
In such a place, no second color can be seen except white.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, but strangely, this place was very quiet, and there was not a sound of wind.
Xiang Kunlun held the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd in his hand and carefully observed his surroundings.
The more quiet you are in such a situation, the more you have to abandon concentration.
