Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14103 Don't Force Me to Kill You

"Not at all..."

The world is full of powerful beings, and the path of cultivation is endless. Compared with those who are truly at the peak, my current strength is just a drop in the ocean.

But don't worry..."

His tone shifted abruptly, his gaze suddenly sharpening, like a drawn blade radiating a chilling light.
"Since I, Ling Xiao, have created the Overlord Empire, this empire is like my child, nurtured by my countless efforts and sweat."

I will do everything in my power to protect the Overlord Empire and will not allow anyone to lay a finger on it!
No matter where their forces come from, no matter how powerful they are, if they dare to harbor even the slightest disloyalty towards the Overlord Empire, I will make them pay a heavy price and let them know that the Overlord Empire is not a place they can trample on at will!

After uttering these resounding words, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated in the slightest.

A burst of light flashed around him, as intense as a blazing sun, so bright it was blinding.

Immediately afterwards, his figure vanished from the throne like a phantom, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

Only a wisp of scorching heat remained in the hall, an aura that seemed to still carry Ling Xiao's will and determination, filling the entire hall with a tense yet exhilarating atmosphere.

The ministers were taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

They bowed in unison, their movements precise and solemn, each person bending their body at a ninety-degree angle to express their respect and loyalty to Lingxiao.

The hall was solemn and silent, with only the soft rustling of their magnificent robes as they moved and the steady, powerful breathing of each other.

Their eyes were filled with awe and anticipation, awe of Ling Xiao's immense strength and majesty, and anticipation that the Overlord Empire, under his leadership, would achieve an even more glorious future.

After bidding farewell to the majestic and solemn palace, Ling Xiao did not hesitate or linger. He hurried towards the mysterious and dangerous sea of ​​demons.

It was as if a blazing fire was burning in his heart, or as if a taut string was constantly urging him on.

He has not yet found the legendary sword and saber duo's inheritance, which is like a beacon in the darkness for him, and is the most urgent and pressing matter at present.

Although Ling Xiao had achieved considerable success in his cultivation and possessed considerable strength, when he turned his gaze to the lofty and renowned Tianyuan Holy Hall, he knew that his abilities were utterly insignificant.

Within the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary, powerful individuals abound, their strength and methods far exceeding their own imagination.

Moreover, before that more mysterious and terrifying realm of annihilation, the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary might be nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

Ling Xiao had heard many terrifying legends about the Silent Realm. It was said that once the seal was ruthlessly broken, the powerful beings of the Silent Realm would descend upon this continent like a surging tide just three years later.

The image of that giant tortoise involuntarily appeared in his mind. The tortoise was as large as a mountain, exuding a chilling aura, and every movement of it seemed to cause the heavens and earth to tremble.

Just thinking about the giant tortoise's terrifying appearance and immense power made Ling Xiao's heart tremble, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

Therefore, in this world full of unknowns and dangers, Ling Xiao is well aware of the importance of having trump cards up his sleeve.

Those trump cards were like his last lifeline; he might not need them in ordinary times, but he had to hold onto them tightly.

Otherwise, if he were to encounter a truly intractable problem, or face an enemy too powerful to resist, he would be like a lamb to the slaughter, helpless and quietly awaiting death.

……

After leaving Batian City, Ling Xiao went directly to the Demon Sea.

However, as soon as Ling Xiao set foot on this land, before he could even catch his breath, someone blocked his way.

This person was none other than Lü Ning!
Ling Xiao's gaze instantly turned icy cold, his eyes like a sharp blade, fiercely scraping across Lü Ning's face.

He shouted angrily, "Lü Ning, don't think I won't dare to touch you!"

If you piss me off, believe me, I'll tear you apart right here and now!

I spared your life back then only because we had known each other. Don't be ungrateful and take advantage of my kindness!

Ling Xiao's voice echoed in the air, carrying an undeniable authority and anger.

Lü Ning was not intimidated by Ling Xiao's anger at all. She met Ling Xiao's cold gaze, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile full of disdain and provocation.

"Ling Xiao, are you threatening me?"

She spoke dismissively, her voice not loud, but it clearly reached Ling Xiao's ears.

Before the words had even finished, the light and shadow behind Lü Ning flickered slightly, like a ripple spreading across a calm lake.

Immediately afterwards, two elderly men in green robes, their auras as deep and unfathomable, appeared silently.

They were tall and imposing, like two towering iron towers, standing firmly behind Lü Ning, protecting her in the middle.

The two old men in green robes exuded a powerful and mysterious aura, as if they could freeze the surrounding air.

For a moment, an invisible pressure filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.

Ling Xiao's gaze fell on Lü Ning. His deep eyes were calm and still, as if he were staring at a stubborn rock or a stagnant pool, without the slightest ripple.

The next moment!
No warning!

A blood-red sword light suddenly tore through the air between the two!
The blood, so thick it seemed to have congealed, slashed at Lü Ning's beautiful but instantly pale face with a terrifying speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive. It was accompanied by a piercing scream that seemed to shatter eardrums.

fast!
It was so fast that my mind couldn't even react!

So fast that the trajectory of the air being cut is clearly visible!
The two elderly men in green robes guarding Lü Ning were indeed experienced and powerful figures from the Demon Sea, and their movements were extremely swift.

The moment the crimson sword light flashed, the pupils of the two men shrank sharply, and their powerful spiritual energy erupted instantly!
"drink!"

The old man on the left let out a low growl and his figure flashed like a ghost to the front of Lü Ning.

He thrust both palms forward with a sudden burst of extremely cold, icy blue spiritual energy, which instantly condensed in front of him!
A massive, thick, crystal-clear ice shield, radiating a chilling aura, appeared out of thin air. Runes flowed across its surface, attempting to freeze and block the fatal blow!
Almost at the same time!

The old man on the right also moved with lightning speed, blocking Lü Ning's flank.

He formed a sword gesture with his fingers, and his withered fingers seemed to transform into the sharpest sword tip!
With a flick of the fingertip, a pure, dazzling golden light suddenly shone forth, carrying an unparalleled sharpness that pierced through everything. It struck first despite being behind, stabbing with perfect precision at the most solid tip of the blood-red sword light!

This is to attack one point and break through the whole by focusing on that point!
