Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14321 I underestimated you

"Don't you dare?"

Tianjizi deliberately used a provocative tone, hoping to provoke the woman into showing herself and fighting.

Upon hearing this, the woman's lips curled into a dangerous smile.

That smile was breathtakingly beautiful, like a dazzling firework blooming in the night sky, yet it sent chills down one's spine, as if it were the eerie smile of death.

She said coldly, "What trash!"

"You dare to fight me?"

Her voice was cold and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing the woman's disdain for them, Tianjizi became enraged. He grinned maliciously, his facial muscles contorting into a hideous expression.

He tried to provoke him further with words: "Since we are trash in your eyes, why don't you dare to show yourself?"

"Could it be that they are afraid of my Heavenly Abyss Holy Temple army?"

He deliberately spoke the words "Tianyuan Holy Temple Army" loudly, hoping to intimidate the woman.

The woman's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, her eyes filled with disdain and indifference as if she were looking at a group of insignificant ants.

However, when her gaze finally fell on Ling Xiao, her eyes softened instantly, as if the ice of ten thousand years had quietly melted and turned into a pool of gentle spring water.

That gentle gaze contained endless care and longing, as if it were telling the heartfelt feelings of people who had not seen each other for many years.

When Ling Xiao saw that familiar figure in the distance, he was instantly filled with boundless energy and became so excited that he danced around.

He waved vigorously, a bright smile spreading across his face. The smile was pure and genuine, like an innocent child seeing their favorite toy and shouting at the top of their lungs, "Long time no see!"

You're still so beautiful!

The sound echoed in the silent starry sky, carrying endless joy and excitement.

"You...you are...Ling Xiao!"

The woman's face, which had been as cold as a deep pool, suddenly rippled upon hearing that familiar voice, as if a pebble had been thrown into it. Her excitement was palpable, and her previously tense expression softened noticeably, with a hint of undisguised surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Sister Moon Maiden, it's me!"

Ling Xiao could no longer control his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes, streaming down his cheeks.

He choked back tears as he nodded vigorously, as if afraid the woman wouldn't believe him.

Unexpectedly, the wife he had longed for day and night, whom he had endured so much hardship to finally see, was only able to meet her while being pursued by the enemy. The twists and turns and the helplessness involved were utterly ridiculous.

Ling Xiao felt a mix of emotions, including the joy of reunion and a sense of resignation at the cruel twist of fate.

After a brief moment of excitement, the Moon Maiden suddenly regained her composure. A resolute glint flashed in her star-like eyes as she coldly said, "Deal with them first, then we'll talk..."

"Draw out the sword."

Her voice was clear and firm, like a flash of lightning in the cold night, instantly piercing through the confusion in Ling Xiao's heart.

Before Ling Xiao could react, he saw a flash of light before his eyes, and the God-Slaying Sword flew up on its own!
The sword shimmered with a mysterious and dazzling light, as if it contained boundless power. The ancient runes engraved on the sword also flickered, as if they were alive.

*Swoosh!* A sharp sword light tore through the sky, dazzling and brilliant, like a super firework blooming in the night sky, as if it had gathered the power of countless worlds, carrying a world-destroying momentum, and instantly traversing endless space.

Tianjizi was still reeling from the shock he had just received and had no time to react or even show a look of terror when the sword light shot straight toward his brow like lightning.

With a soft "plop," the sword light pierced his brow without any obstruction. Blood gushed from the wound, but was instantly evaporated by the sword light.

The sword light continued its momentum, like an angry dragon, carrying overwhelming power, and directly shattered several mountains behind him!
The deafening roar sent rocks flying and dust billowing, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The whole place was dead silent.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, as if time had frozen at that moment.

Yuwen Qingtian's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen the most terrifying monster in the world. For the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face—she had actually killed someone by borrowing a sword across countless spaces!
Moreover, the way he did it so casually, as if he were just swatting a fly, was terrifyingly powerful!
Tianjizi's eyes widened, filled with shock and resentment.

He could not believe until his death that he would die in such a way.

He didn't even see the trajectory of the sword, nor did he sense any killing intent, and was easily killed!

His body slowly fell, turning into specks of dust in the void and disappearing without a trace, as if he had never existed in this world.

Yuwen Qingtian stood in the desolate void ravaged by sword energy, surrounded by shattered mountain ruins and billowing dust. A fierce wind howled, whipping up pebbles and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, but at this moment, his slightly trembling shoulders betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

He slowly, very slowly clenched his fists, each finger as if using all his strength, his knuckles cracking from the excessive force, and soon they turned an unnatural pale, as if the bones were about to pierce through the skin and be revealed.

The Moon Maiden, like an inviolable iceberg, stood quietly not far away.

She wore a long, snow-white robe that fluttered in the wind, yet it did not diminish her cold beauty and nobility in the slightest.

Upon hearing Yuwen Qingtian's words, she slowly turned her head, her deep, dark eyes looking at him.

His gaze was calm and still, without the slightest anger, disdain, or mockery, like a bottomless, icy pool without a ripple.

However, this seemingly calm gaze seemed to contain endless pressure, and a chilling aura emanated from her eyes, making people tremble from the depths of their souls, as if their souls would be frozen if she looked at them for even a moment longer.

Looking into Yue Nu's chilling eyes, Yuwen Qingtian felt a chill run down his spine, but as a powerful figure, he forced himself to remain calm.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound steady, but the slight tremor at the end betrayed the shock in his heart: "We underestimated Ling Xiao, and we underestimated you."

We thought Ling Xiao was just a kid with some good fortune, and even if he had some strength, he wouldn't be a threat to our Tianyuan Holy Hall; as for you, although you are rumored to be very strong, we also believe that we have made sufficient preparations.

But I never expected that today's battle would leave us in such a sorry state.

His voice was low and hoarse, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with endless regret and resentment.
