Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14200 I Have a Plan

Su Lingyin was confused.

What exactly is this?
Are they reinforcements sent by the Temple of Annihilation, or some other, even more terrifying being?

But in the end, she chose to disappear completely without a trace.

She knew that she was not strong enough to deal with the unknown danger, and staying would only cause more trouble.

She left behind only a cold and complex thought in the void, a thought containing worry for Ling Xiao, confusion about the future, and an unspeakable determination.

……

The Overlord Empire, Overlord City.

This magnificent city is like a dazzling pearl, inlaid on this vast land.

The towering city walls, constructed from massive stones, exude an ancient and profound atmosphere.

Above the city gate, the four large golden characters "Overlord Empire" gleamed, showcasing the city's majesty and domineering presence.

Ling Xiao's figure, like a ghost, passed through layers of energy barriers inscribed with intricate sacred runes and appeared inside the hall.

This energy barrier, like a transparent wall, emits a mysterious light, blocking all external interference.

The interior of the hall was spacious and bright, with a huge dome simulating a vast starry sea. Countless sacred runes moved slowly along mysterious trajectories, casting a cool glow, as if the entire universe had been condensed into this small hall.

There were only three people in the hall.

Ling Xiao, the emperor of the Overlord Empire, still wore a black imperial robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, showcasing his nobility and majesty.

He stood atop the flowing sacred runes in the center of the hall, his back to Ji Mingkong and Shangguan Yue, his figure tall and imposing, like an unshakeable mountain.

His voice was clear and cold, like the tolling of a bell in the cold night, piercing the silence of the palace: "Come out."

The moment the words fell, it was as if an invisible force surged in the air.

Behind Ling Xiao, the light seemed to be distorted by an invisible hand, and thirty-two figures silently appeared.

Their appearance was like that of ghosts, without making a sound, as if they had always existed in this palace, only previously hidden by some mysterious force.

All thirty-two men were dressed in dark, tight-fitting combat suits that clung to their bodies, outlining their sharp, muscular physiques, as if every muscle contained boundless power.

Their faces were covered by metal masks that shimmered with a dark silver luster, engraved with mysterious patterns, revealing only pairs of cold, emotionless eyes.

Those eyes were like stars in a cold night, radiating a chilling light that sent shivers down one's spine.

They did not wear long swords at their waists, but rather strangely shaped short-handled weapons, resembling star shuttles, with tips that shimmered with a ghostly blue energy blade.

The energy blade, like a burning flame, exuded a deadly aura.

Their aura was restrained like an abyss, making it impossible for others to perceive their true strength, yet it carried a deadly sharpness, as if they could unleash powerful force at any moment to cut down their enemies.

Water Trick!

The most mysterious and powerful assassination and protection force of the Water Tribe is like a ghost hidden in the darkness, always following the fate of the Water Tribe.

They are dedicated to protecting the safety of Lingxiao, and also carry out the darkest and most shameful tasks. They are an invincible blade in the hands of the aquatic tribe, and a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of their enemies.

This power is a precious gift that the aquatic tribe, with reverence and sincerity, carefully selected and nurtured, and presented to Lingxiao.

As the emperor of the Overlord Empire, Ling Xiao would naturally not refuse such a significant gift.

He knew all too well the power of this force, its terror even surpassing that of the thirteen demon generals under his command.

The Thirteen Demon Generals are already formidable experts, but this Water Monster is like a giant beast hidden in the deep sea; once it sets out, it will surely stir up a storm.

Ling Xiao slowly turned around, his movements calm and composed, as if nothing in the world could faze him.

His deep, star-like gaze fell upon Ji Mingkong, a gaze that seemed to see through everything, yet carried an undeniable authority: "From this moment on, they will obey your commands."

Ji Mingkong was slightly taken aback, then his gaze swept over the thirty-two silent killing gods.

They stood there silently, like statues, without any expression or movement, but Ji Mingkong could clearly sense the terrifying energy contained within these thirty-two people.

The energy was like the core of a star that had been forcibly compressed, silent and repressed, yet containing boundless power. Once it erupted, it would be enough to incinerate everything and turn everything around it to ashes.

In terms of individual combat strength, each of them may not be as strong as a Great Sun Realm expert, but the combined power of thirty-two Water Demons who are proficient in the art of combined assassination is incomparable.

Their teamwork was seamless; every attack was meticulously calculated, allowing them to instantly find the enemy's weakness and deliver a fatal blow.

I'm afraid that in the entire town and even Tianyuan, apart from a handful of people, no one can withstand his might!

For them, conquering a main city without a top-tier expert is by no means difficult, and can even be said to be effortless.

Ling Xiao strode forward, his steps steady and powerful, until he reached Ji Mingkong.

His figure was tall and upright, like an unshakable mountain, giving people a strong sense of security.

He looked calmly at Ji Mingkong and said slowly, "Just now, I killed seven of them!"

Ji Mingkong nodded slightly, his eyes showing no surprise, and his tone was firm: "This time, the people sent by the Silent Sanctuary will be of a much higher level than last time."

He knew the way the Temple of Annihilation operated. Ling Xiao's killing of their people was like touching their sore spot, and they would definitely send a stronger and more troublesome opponent to retaliate.

Given the foundation and strength of the Temple of Annihilation, the level of the people they send this time is definitely far greater than before, making this an unprecedented challenge.

Ling Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile, a hint of disdain and mockery in his expression: "As expected."

He had long anticipated that the Temple of Annihilation would not give up easily and had prepared accordingly.

In his eyes, the Temple of Annihilation was nothing but a bunch of clowns; although they had some strength, they were not enough to make him fear them.

Immediately, he looked directly into Ji Mingkong's eyes, a gaze that seemed to penetrate his soul, causing Ji Mingkong to feel a pang of fear.

"I have a plan." Ling Xiao's voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained endless wisdom and strategy.

Ji Mingkong's heart stirred. He knew that since Ling Xiao said he had a plan, it must be a brilliant scheme that could turn the tide and resolve the crisis.

He waited quietly for Ling Xiao to continue, his eyes filled with anticipation and trust.

"Go on," Ji Mingkong said succinctly, his gaze fixed on Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with focus and anticipation.

In this turbulent and tense moment, every decision could determine the life or death of the Overlord Empire, and he was eager to know what Ling Xiao was going to say next.
