Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 2676: Chapter 2676: The Blue-Clad Men

"I am not that person. And I can never be that person." Julius Reed outright refused, "I hope you won’t use Quella Radcliffe to threaten me, because if you do, the image I have of you in my mind will greatly diminish."

"Some things can’t be forced, like feelings."

Just thinking about being manipulated made Julius Reed feel very upset.

Up until now, he still didn’t know who the Swordsman was.

This person might as well be himself!

If it were him, he certainly wouldn’t dig such a big pit for himself to jump into.

What is Seven Gem Slope?

Put nicely, she’s an empress and a feminist.

Put unpleasantly, she’s a tigress.

She’s beautiful, has a great figure, and her personality is charming.

But what’s the use?

Such a woman, most men wouldn’t dare provoke.

So, Julius Reed directly refused.

From the start, he put an end to the conversation, shutting her up.

"Men are indeed hypocritical; if you really wanted to refuse me, why didn’t you push me away just now?"

Seven Gem Slope’s eyes carried a mocking smile: "What? Reluctant to leave the tender embrace, yet afraid of a femme fatale? To put it simply, you want to take advantage, but not take responsibility, right?"

"Maybe your strength is too great, and I didn’t want to hurt you. Remember, there won’t be a next time."

Julius Reed’s tone started to turn cold.

He still had no idea what the Swordsman really wanted.

"You might not know, my master once said something."

Seven Gem Slope lowered her head, rubbing her clothes: "If I’m feeling down, I tend to self-harm. He told me never to torture myself. But there’s only one time I can make an exception..."

Raising her head, tears shone in Seven Gem Slope’s eyes: "You know, I’m in so much pain right now!"

Saying that, Seven Gem Slope drew her sword and thrust it toward her body.

"Ancestors!"

Julius Reed finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

He snatched the blade with his bare hands!

Grabbing Seven Gem Slope’s knife.

"Tell me, what are you trying to do!" Julius Reed’s patience was almost running out.

Now he knew a lot of things.

But knowing many things meant even more things were still unclear!

Knowledge is like a circle.

The bigger the circle, the more unknowns touch the outside.

After understanding some of the past events, Julius Reed was most concerned about the Swordsman’s identity!

Who exactly is this Swordsman!

And what secrets does Seven Gem Slope in front of him hold?

"If you promise not to bully me anymore, I won’t self-harm." Seven Gem Slope said pitifully, "Deal?"

"At a time like this, you could even ask for my life."

For the first time, Julius Reed felt helpless.

If not for Quella Radcliffe’s body and soul still being there, he really wanted to shatter Seven Gem Slope’s soul directly!

But suddenly, a voice came through.

"Didn’t you hear it, a flute sound?" Seven Gem Slope put away her smile, asking seriously, "Did you hear it?"

"Yes." Julius Reed nodded.

Indeed, the sound was getting louder.

It seemed to be heading towards them.

Could this be another arrangement by the Swordsman?

Julius Reed believed the Swordsman could make judgments on a big scale, but it was impossible to calculate every little thing.

"There’s killing intent."

Julius Reed positioned himself in front of Seven Gem Slope.

Seeing this, Seven Gem Slope was a bit stunned.

In the past, no one dared stand in front of her like this.

But this time, Seven Gem Slope suddenly felt that this man was worth it.

At least, someone was there to shield her from the wind and rain.

As the sound grew closer!

In the distance, a group of people walked over.

And inside the room, Jessica and the Nine Nether True Monarch noticed the abnormality and quickly came out.

They happened to come face to face with these blue-robed men.

"Blue-robed men?" Jessica’s heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, what you fear comes true!

Just afraid these people would catch up, and here they came!

When those two blue-robed men died earlier, they likely left a mark.

And they followed the mark to find them!

"On the enforcing path, those who obstruct, die!"

The leading blue-robed man looked ashen, as if he were dead.

And those around him showed no hint of color either.

"Julius Reed, take the ancestor and leave first!" The Nine Nether True Monarch steeled his heart and charged forward, throwing a punch at that blue-robed man!

But the punch landed as if it struck air!

There was no point of force.

His hand even passed through the blue-robed man’s body.

These people seemed to not exist at all.

"Ghost soldiers passing through?" The Nine Nether True Monarch broke out in cold sweat, his clothes soaking through.

"Half-alive, half-dead, are these the ghost soldiers from the Nine Provinces Royal Palace...?"

He looked at Jessica, feeling parched, almost unable to speak.

"Are you alright?" Jessica supported him, her voice slightly trembling: "You seem..."

"I’m not, my body’s been passed through, and my soul’s been plundered!"

The Nine Nether True Monarch gritted his teeth, his entire body shaking.

As the one who controls the Nine Provinces’ souls, he knew this feeling.

At this moment, it felt like someone was extracting his soul, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"What to do... this really is ghost soldiers passing through..." Jessica suddenly began to cry.

The Nine Provinces Royal Palace harbors remarkable talents.

After all, the Nine Provinces King is the king of the world!

All the world’s powers need the Nine Provinces King to maintain order.

Therefore, the palace houses powerful artifacts!

And these so-called ghost soldiers.

Half-dead, half-alive individuals.

Their methods are exceptionally unique, moving swiftly, appearing to walk, but it’s actually the afterimages left by their speed.

The Nine Nether True Monarch’s punch hit nothing because it struck an afterimage.

And not a real person.

Now Jessica was panicking.

He knew that the appearance of those blue-robed men would not be resolved simply.

But he didn’t expect the Nine Provinces King to use such special methods, even faking death, to preserve these people and have them deal with Seven Gem Slope!

Seven Gem Slope was just a mortal.

While Julius Reed was strong, he faced a group of dead people!

The dead fear no death, while the living, once injured, will die.

"Step aside, I’ll handle this myself." Seven Gem Slope felt the pressure, wanting to push Julius Reed away but found she couldn’t.

"Quite interesting."

Seven Gem Slope laughed at herself: "My master was right, so many men willing to die for me, and I’d never give them the chance, but you, I’m worried you’ll die."

"Your master talks a lot of crap." Julius Reed said coldly, striding forward towards the so-called ghost soldiers.

"Those who block the way, die!" The leading blue-robed man still spoke.

"I want to die, but you don’t have the ability." Julius Reed, holding his sword, walked towards them step by step.

When they were about ten meters apart, Julius Reed swung his sword in midair!

Boom!

The powerful Sword Qi that erupted distorted the entire space!

All those blue-robed men vanished upon encountering the Sword Qi!

"Behind you!" Jessica exclaimed.

Almost at the same time.

The figures arrived in front of Seven Gem Slope.
