The moment Ning Jiang's gaze fell upon Li Jie, the hairs on Li Jie's entire body stood on end. He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, utterly terrified.
His nerves instantly tensed.
That pair of eyes, as calm as still water, now placed him under an immense and unprecedented pressure.
"Li Jie, your muscles are tense, and your pupils have changed. Are you afraid of me?"
Ning Jiang's eyelids drooped slightly, his tone betraying no hint of his feelings.
"Maybe we had some misunderstandings before. I don't want the Pure Essence Fruit anymore. I'll leave right now."
Li Jie had no will to fight. He knew his own limits. The four corpses on the ground made it perfectly clear just what a terrifying figure this young man was.
He didn't believe he could block that Life-taking Swift Sword.
"Leave?"
