Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14166 Hitting You Is for Your Own Good

"Kid, the evil dragon's essence you fused with is no pushover. You'll have to keep it under control."

This thing is indeed a good thing. Once it is activated, it can make your combat power soar like a rocket, allowing you to dominate the battlefield and make your enemies tremble with fear.

However, its side effects are also outrageously large, like a malignant tumor that slowly erodes your mind.

It will make you increasingly sarcastic and outspoken, saying whatever comes to mind; you'll also become increasingly shameless and have no bottom line in your actions, radiating a "come and hit me" vibe, like a beacon in the night, making it hard to go unnoticed!

So, what I did just now was purely for your own good!

I'm trying to wake you up and show you how treacherous this world is, understand?

You're welcome!"

Lei Ling's voice was drawn out, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke Ling Xiao.

Hearing Lei Ling's words, Ling Xiao was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His lips twitched uncontrollably, and he roared inwardly, "..."

...Thank you and your whole family!

You're not doing this for my own good; you're clearly just using this opportunity to settle personal scores and teach me a lesson!
Ling Xiao cursed Lei Ling in his heart, but dared not show it on his face.

He knew Lei Ling's power all too well. If he angered the old man again, he might get another beating. He could only suppress his anger, force out a smile that looked worse than a grimace, and silently pray that Lei Ling would stop tormenting him.

Just as Ling Xiao caught his breath and felt the pain in his chest lessen, allowing him to straighten his back slightly, the space in front of him suddenly rippled like water.

The rippling space was like a lake with pebbles thrown in, creating ripples, and a mysterious and powerful aura emanated from it.

Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in a plain white dress appeared silently before him, like a fairy descending to earth.

Her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs, blending seamlessly with the universe, and like a spirit of the world, possessing a transcendent beauty.

Her long dress fluttered gently in the wind, like a white cloud, giving people a light and agile feeling.

Her beauty was unparalleled; her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like stars, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were red and small. Every feature of her was exquisite and impeccable.

However, her eyes were indifferent and devoid of any emotion, as if nothing in the world could arouse her interest, or like a bottomless ancient well, making it impossible for anyone to see through her inner thoughts.

Ling Xiao looked closely and recognized the person as Su Lingyin, the Xuan Tian Empress, whom he had met not long ago and who had been summoned by that arrogant and domineering young demon king!

Ling Xiao's eyes instantly sharpened like knives, his gaze like two gleaming blades piercing straight ahead.

The blood and qi that had just calmed down after being tormented by Lei Ling surged up again like a raging tide.

He felt a scorching and violent energy surging within him, like a flood about to burst its banks, held back but ready to erupt like a volcano at any moment!

He hadn't forgotten that the seemingly ethereal and otherworldly Empress Su Lingyin in front of him could kill him at any moment.

After all, he had almost killed that arrogant and wicked young demon king before.

Su Lingyin has a close relationship with that young demon king, and there is undoubtedly a huge potential conflict between him and her, just like two bombs that may collide and explode at any time.

Su Lingyin's gaze was as calm as a bottomless, icy pool, slowly landing on Ling Xiao.

That gaze seemed to carry a mysterious and powerful force, as if it could penetrate his physical body, examine the very essence of his soul, and see through all the secrets deep within his heart.

"Your power... is growing rapidly, beyond reason."

Her voice was ethereal and melodious, as if it came from the distant horizon, yet it clearly reached Ling Xiao's ears.

Ling Xiao gripped the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword tightly in his hand. The sword trembled slightly as it sensed his power, emitting a low hum, as if responding to his fighting spirit.

He slightly raised the sword, its tip gleaming with a cold light, his tone carrying an undisguised provocation: "What? Not okay?"

"Is it an eyesore for you, Empress?"

He met Su Lingyin's gaze without fear, his eyes filled with stubbornness and a refusal to admit defeat.

Su Lingyin looked at him silently, without answering immediately.

That invisible gaze seemed to carry heavy pressure, like a towering mountain, making Ling Xiao feel breathless.

The surrounding space seemed to freeze because of the tense atmosphere, so quiet that only the two people's soft breathing could be heard.

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, his voice filled with disdain and impatience.

He thought to himself that this was not a place to stay for long and that it would be best to leave as soon as possible.

So he suddenly turned around, his internal energy rapidly circulating, his hands quickly forming hand seals in the air, preparing to tear through space and leave this place of trouble.

"and many more."

However, Su Lingyin's figure appeared like a ghost, instantly blocking his way once again.

Her movements were light and swift, like a gentle breeze, yet they carried an irresistible force.

Ling Xiao's eyes turned cold, like stars in a cold night, radiating a chilling light.

He stared intently at Su Lingyin and asked in an icy tone, "Does the Empress have any further instructions?"

"Does this mean you intend to fight me to the death here?"

Su Lingyin looked directly into Ling Xiao's eyes, her gaze deep and indifferent, as if nothing in the world could move her.

Her voice was ethereal and indifferent, yet carried an undeniable air, like a divine pronouncement from above: "Ling Xiao, you should leave the Great Town Dynasty and go somewhere else."

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, his eyebrows like two sharp swords, slightly upturned.

Filled with doubt and confusion, he sneered, "Oh? Why?"

"Does this great town/dynasty belong to your family? Do you think I can come and go as I please?"

He crossed his arms, his eyes filled with provocation and skepticism, waiting for Su Lingyin to give a reasonable explanation.

Su Lingyin's tone was calm and undisturbed, like a bottomless, icy pool, without the slightest ripple.

However, every word she spoke struck Ling Xiao's heart like a heavy hammer: "Because the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword and another unknown treasure that you carry are things that the Tianyuan Dynasty and even the greedy and powerful forces of the Silent Extinction Realm are determined to obtain!"

The aura emanating from these two treasures is like a beacon in the darkness, constantly attracting powerful figures from the Tianyuan Dynasty to descend upon this realm like locusts, even though they are thousands of miles apart!
Each of their arrivals is like the descent of demons into the world, signifying a devastating catastrophe!

All living beings here, whether they are ordinary people with no strength to even kill a chicken or martial artists who have achieved mastery of their skills, will be plunged into endless fear and death...
