Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14724 It hurts so much!
The Moon Maiden's power has long exceeded common sense; it is so powerful that it defies all reason.

Ling Bi was still somewhat puzzled, blinked, and asked, "Then why would they dare to cause her trouble?"

Ling Xiao gently shook his head, a knowing glint in his eyes:
"Because they didn't know her true strength...or rather, they completely misjudged her power from beginning to end."

He paused, his tone slightly somber, and added:
"In fact, even I have never truly seen where her limits are."

Ling Bi suddenly realized and nodded: "I understand! That means Sister Yue Nu will be fine. The one who is truly in danger is you!"

Ling Xiao nodded calmly, his tone serene and unwavering: "Exactly."

Ling Bi took a deep breath and said seriously, "I understand!"

Just as she was about to speak again, two figures walked over quickly; they were Qi Tian and Wang Xuanying.

Qi Tian walked up to Ling Xiao, a gentle smile on his face, and handed him a shimmering storage ring:
"Young friend, the spirit crystals you requested have been prepared."

Ling Xiao's pupils contracted slightly as he scanned the area with his divine sense.

Inside the storage ring, a full million spirit crystals were quietly piled up!

Moreover, without exception, they are all the purest and most precious top-grade spirit crystals!
Ling Xiao was secretly shocked. This Broken Realm Mountain was indeed profound. In order to leave the Silent Realm, it was truly willing to spare no expense and invest so much.

Ling Xiao accepted the storage ring and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Qi Tian laughed heartily: "It was nothing, young friend. If you need anything else in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Ling Xiao nodded: "In the future, there will probably be many things that I need to trouble you with."

Qi Tian said, "Young friend, please don't be so polite. I will do my best to help you in any way I can!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Bi with gentle eyes and then smiled, "I won't disturb you two any longer."

After speaking, he bowed and slowly withdrew.

After Qi Tian left, Ling Bi raised her eyes to look at Ling Xiao and asked softly:
"Brother, are you planning to use these spirit crystals to break through to the Realm Lord realm?"

Ling Xiao did not hide anything and nodded frankly: "My current cultivation level is too low to force my way through the Heavenly Gate."

Ling Bi's eyes narrowed, and she immediately said, "I'll protect you!"

Just then, from within the Demon Needle Space, Jian Sha's cold yet solemn voice suddenly rang out, directly interrupting the two:
"This move is inappropriate! Your forceful rush is too hasty and reckless. Haste makes waste and will only backfire."

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What should we do?"

Sword Demon was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Let's try another method."

Ling Xiao asked, "What method?"

Sword Fiend's tone was firm, each word deliberate and clear: "Fight!"

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "A battle?"

Sword Demon nodded: "Only a life-or-death battle can truly unleash the human body's potential. And what you need most right now is not secluded cultivation or the accumulation of spirit crystals, but a bloody battle to the death!"

Ling Xiao seemed to be deep in thought, then slowly asked, "Who should we fight?"

Sword Demon replied without hesitation: "A powerful figure from the Silent Court."

Ling Xiao paused slightly, a rare hint of hesitation appearing on his face: "Will I be beaten to death by them?"

Sword Demon was very frank, nodding and saying, "That's possible."

Ling Xiao: "..."

Sword Demon seemed to chuckle lightly, his tone tinged with provocation: "Scared?"

Ling Xiao nodded frankly, his tone serious: "I only have one life. I am not afraid of death, but I will never act recklessly or blindly rush in to fight. Sooner or later, I will only be dead."

Sword Fiend interrupted him directly, his tone leaving no room for argument:

"You cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, which is best suited for breakthroughs and transformations during bloody battles, rather than forcibly enhancing yourself using those spirit crystals. You should know this better than anyone else. Trust me, and come with me!"

After saying that, she directly conjured a phantom figure from the magic needle space, and with a flash, she sped off into the distance.

Although she is currently restricted and unable to fight personally, she is more than capable of guiding Ling Xiao.
-
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, but his steps had already followed.

He knew in his heart that even though Jian Sha was ruthless, he would never send him to his death for no reason.

Before long, Jian Sha led Ling Xiao back to the foot of the Heavenly Gate. Countless corpses still floated there, each one a peerless expert who was renowned throughout the land in life.

In fact, Ling Xiao had considered turning all these powerful corpses into demonic puppets for his own use.

But he still had some concerns.

It wasn't out of mercy, but rather a concern that these terrifying beings weren't truly and completely dead...

If a wisp of their soul still remains within them, it would be truly awkward if he rashly touched the corpse.

Just then, Jian Sha suddenly spoke, his voice cold and clear: "Do you see that Heavenly Gate Barrier?"

Ling Xiao looked up at the massive barrier stretching across the sky and asked calmly, "What?"

Sword Demon's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable power: "Go and try."

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, hesitating slightly: "Really?"

Jian Sha nodded slightly, his tone resolute: "It's true."

Ling Xiao pondered to himself.

He had killed members of the Silent Court before; while they were powerful, they were not truly invincible. Moreover, he was no longer the same person he once was; his realm had firmly entered the Breaking Realm, and with his true combat strength, he was not without the power to fight against a lower-level lord.

Even if they are truly no match for the top experts of the Silent Court, it shouldn't be a problem for them to escape unscathed.

With this thought in mind, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated.

The black mist around him suddenly erupted, transforming into a jet-black stream of light that shot into the sky!

This time, he held nothing back and went all out from the start!

The God-Slaying Sword and the Bloodthirsty Blade were simultaneously unleashed, tearing through the sky with two terrifying sword lights and rainbows. Behind them, a majestic and ferocious demonic image was revealed, its aura extremely fierce!
However, just as he soared into the air, a terrifying, pitch-black thunderbolt suddenly cleaved down from within the Heavenly Gate Barrier!
The speed was so fast that it was like a death sentence pronounced by heaven and earth, and in an instant, it slammed into his attack!
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed through the starry sky, and a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions.

A figure fell awkwardly from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground in front of Jian Sha.

It was Ling Xiao!

At this moment, his body was charred black, his clothes were torn, his body was trembling violently, and his skin was covered with dense, spiderweb-like cracks.

That attack just now almost shattered his physical body!
Although it wasn't completely destroyed, it was almost the same!
Beside him, Jian Sha looked down at him with calm, expressionless.

Ling Xiao's lips twitched involuntarily, and he managed to say with difficulty, "Senior Sword Fiend, this..."

Sword Demon asked calmly, "How does it feel?"

Ling Xiao gave a bitter laugh, his voice trembling slightly: "It's going to hurt like hell!"
