The Bodyguard King's CEO Wife-Chapter 1319: I Will Never Leave You Behind

"Follow me and charge ahead." Nightmare shouted loudly. This was a rare opportunity; Wang Kai’s move was like a "Final Skill" in a game, its momentum was astonishing and its power was immense. Moreover, the range of this move was too wide for the average Shadow People to withstand it. Even Ji Qian couldn’t have guessed that Wang Kai would have such a trump card left, and only in his hands could the energy element exert its full power.

But likewise, after Wang Kai used this move, he also suffered greatly, killing a thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of his own. He spat out a mouthful of blood; fortunately, his Inner Strength was deep enough, otherwise, an ordinary person would have had their Dantian completely emptied by just one move...

"Don’t let them pass." Aphrodite was starting to get anxious, seeing that the crowd could hardly resist the Netherworld Palace’s offensive. She couldn’t help but feel panic. The blame fell on Ye Shikai for having such a highly skilled martial artist by his side, otherwise Aphrodite would have killed Ye Shikai long ago if it were just the Netherworld Palace.

"I’ll take you on." Nightmare’s eyes focused on Aphrodite. Everything behind this was instigated by this woman. To capture the bandits, first seize the king. In other words, as long as she is taken down, there would be no one left to command. Nightmare picked up his double halberds and stabbed towards Aphrodite.

"Nightmare." Aphrodite said coldly and used the Illusion Technique on him. Instantly, thousands of Aphrodites appeared in front of Nightmare, each with different expressions and poses, as if there truly were thousands of Aphrodites in front of him. Although Nightmare couldn’t be immune to illusions, his mind was clear. There couldn’t be thousands of Aphrodites; these were illusions meant to confuse him so he couldn’t identify the real body.

"Take this."

Simultaneously, Aphrodite also struck. Following the attack of the real body, thousands of illusions rushed at Nightmare from all directions, causing him to panic and swing his double halberds wildly.

Suddenly, Nightmare felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. When he came to his senses, he had already taken a blow to the stomach. The brilliance of illusions lies in their ability to disturb senses. Even a fierce tiger, if it can’t find a target, can be severely injured by a mere fox.

"Did you think I would be afraid of that?" Nightmare scoffed coldly, tearing a cloth strip and wrapping the wound on his abdomen simply. This sinister woman — who knows if the dagger she wielded had poison on it.

Nightmare tore another strip, folded it, and, in front of everyone, covered his own eyes.

A truly powerful cultivator has enemies not only in their sights but also in their heart. The essence of the Illusion Technique is to deceive vision, so why not close your eyes. Thus, he could no longer see those illusions, and his heart calmed down...

Calm enough to only hear the sound of his heartbeat and breathing.

Nine o’clock direction.

Nightmare’s brow stretched as he thrust out his halberd into space.

Bang.

The sound of metal colliding echoed in the air, and Nightmare’s mouth slightly curled into a smile.

Aphrodite’s Illusion Technique had been broken by him.

When the heart is calm enough, Nightmare could hear Aphrodite’s footsteps, and with his advanced martial skills, he could counterattack adeptly even without sight.

"Didn’t expect to underestimate you." Aphrodite acknowledged wisely, knowing that if they really fought, she wouldn’t be Nightmare’s match, so she decisively "left."

"Doris, Vulcan, things don’t look good, we need to retreat quickly." Aphrodite shouted loudly. This was the only retreat route. Originally, her plan was to trap them if unable to annihilate, so... by no means could this path fall to the Three Temples.

The Main Gods were no fools. The people of the Three Temples fought fiercely, and Emily assisted from the side; trying to encircle and annihilate was impossible. If no attack happened, a retreat was imminent, and there was only one escape route, so...

Strike first, gain the upper hand; strike later, suffer calamity.

Everyone began to move towards the exit, putting great pressure on Soul Destroyer and Demoness. The key was Doris also came over, her trident immensely powerful, as she grew fiercer with each battle. Alone, she blocked the attacks of both Soul Destroyer and Demoness. Helplessly, they watched as the hard-won exit was retaken by the Shadow People.

Aphrodite took the opportunity to rush out through the passage. She wouldn’t let herself be placed in danger.

"Seize the exit quickly." Ji Qian saw things taking a bad turn and rushed to the exit. If Aphrodite controlled it, the Three Temples were in peril. Since she had preempted by planting traps to blow up the path for ascent, this exit could also be destroyed...

Ye Shikai sensed a shift, a feeling of unease creeping into his heart. Now rendered useless, unable to help even slightly; even protected by the Hidden Guard coming to the exit, what then? If Aphrodite indeed planned to blow it up, he’d be the one most hard-pressed to survive among everyone.

Ye Shikai hesitated yet seemed resolved, suddenly rushing to Ji Qian’s side.

"Qian, you should leave quickly. While their footing is unstable, you can break out." Ye Shikai shouted. Among everyone he knew, Ji Qian had given him the most, and their bond was the deepest. Sadly, Ye Shikai hadn’t been able to treat her well. This incident started because of him, he would never let Ji Qian miss out on a chance for escape. At least right now, Ji Qian had a great chance of breaking through.

"No way, I have to take you out." Ji Qian’s expression froze, shaking her head with determined refusal, then she firmly grasped Ye Shikai. "If you can’t leave, I won’t either."

"No, I can’t help you now. You and Wang Kai, take Nightmare and Soul Destroyer and leave quickly, otherwise it’ll be trouble." Ye Shikai persisted in persuading. Besides Ji Qian, Wang Kai, Nightmare, Demoness, Soul Destroyer were also his brothers and sisters from life-and-death experiences. With their skills, they could have broken through the Shadow People’s defense and left via the exit right at the beginning of the confrontation. However, they chose "a fierce battle" to delay the opponent, allowing Ye Shikai to be the first to escape.

"I will never leave you." Ji Qian screamed hysterically. The two locked eyes, and they both cried, not knowing what they saw from each other’s eyes; perhaps the beautiful memories, the struggles they overcame together, the moments of life and death parted. Once, Ji Qian led the Moon Guards into Atlantis ruins, and Ye Shikai brought people to rescue her without hesitation. Then, he must have had a resolute thought to say in his heart.

I will never leave you.
