Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I want to change this world!"

Suddenly, the cave began to shake violently, and rocks above the head kept falling.

"Oh no! The cave is going to collapse!" Bai Ningshuang exclaimed.

The two of them quickly ran towards the cave entrance.

Just when they were about to reach the cave entrance, a huge rock fell from the top of the cave, blocking their way.

"What should we do?" Bai Ningshuang asked anxiously.

Zhang Ling took a deep breath, raised the Sword of Heavenly Punishment in his hand, and slashed at the boulder fiercely.

With a loud bang, the boulder was split in half, revealing the light of the cave entrance.

The two of them quickly escaped from the cave.

Just as they escaped from the cave, the entire cave collapsed.

Zhang Ling and Bai Ningshuang stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the collapsed cave, feeling a sense of fear in their hearts.

"Where are we going now?" Bai Ningshuang asked.

Zhang Ling looked up at the sky and said, "Go... Chang'an!"

There was an ambitious gleam in his eyes.

Chang'an, this ancient and prosperous capital, will be the starting point for his conquest of the world!

However, just as the two were about to set off for Chang'an, a mysterious man in a black robe and a conical hat suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Do you want to go to Chang'an?" the mysterious man asked in a hoarse voice.

Zhang Ling and Bai Ningshuang looked at the mysterious man warily, with a bad feeling in their hearts.

Who is this mysterious man and what is his purpose?

Deep in the cave, the terrain was rugged and dark. Zhang Ling was pulled by Bai Ningshuang and stumbled forward, his heart beating violently in his chest, as if it was about to jump out.

"They...who are they?" Zhang Ling asked breathlessly, trying to keep up with Bai Ningshuang's pace.

Bai Ningshuang did not answer, but just quickened her pace, her expression becoming more solemn.

The two ran for a distance and came to a relatively spacious cave. Bai Ningshuang stopped and looked around, as if looking for something.

"Is it...safe here?" Zhang Ling asked, looking around vigilantly.

Bai Ningshuang shook her head and said, "It's not safe, but we have to hide here first."

"Who...are they? Why are they chasing me?" Zhang Ling asked again, his tone full of confusion and uneasiness.

Bai Ningshuang sighed and said, "They are from the Tianlong Empire. They are hunting you down because..."

Before Bai Ningshuang could finish her words, footsteps suddenly sounded at the entrance of the cave.

"They are coming!" Zhang Ling's face changed and he quickly hid behind a huge rock.

Bai Ningshuang also hid herself, with a dagger in her hand, staring at the cave entrance with sharp eyes.

Several men in black suits walked in, holding swords in their hands and looking around.

"They must be nearby, search carefully!" said a leading man with a cold tone.

Several men in black dispersed and began to search the cave.

Zhang Ling hid behind a huge rock, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being discovered.

A man in black walked up to the boulder, seemed to have discovered something, and stopped.

Zhang Ling's heart was in his throat and his palms were full of sweat.

The man in black slowly approached the boulder, the knife in his hand raised.

At this critical moment, Bai Ningshuang suddenly rushed out from behind the boulder and stabbed the man in black in the chest with the dagger in her hand.

The man in black groaned and fell to the ground.

The other men in black heard the noise and gathered around.

"Who are you?" asked the leading man in black, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Bai Ningshuang did not answer, but rushed towards the man in black, waving a dagger.

A fierce fight ensued. Although Bai Ningshuang was agile, she was outnumbered and soon had several wounds on her body.

Zhang Ling hid behind a huge rock, watching Bai Ningshuang fighting bloody battles, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.

He knew he couldn't hide any longer, he had to do something.

He took a deep breath and walked out from behind the boulder.

"Stop!" Zhang Ling shouted.

All the men in black stopped and looked at Zhang Ling.

"Who are you?" asked the leading man in black.

"I am..." Zhang Ling was about to speak when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

......

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ling slowly opened his eyes.

He found himself lying in an unfamiliar room, covered with a blanket.

He sat up and looked around, noting that the room was empty.

"Where is this?" Zhang Ling asked himself puzzledly.

He got out of bed, walked to the door and gently pushed it open.

There was a corridor outside the door, with rooms on both sides, all with lights on.

Zhang Ling walked along the corridor, trying to find someone to ask about the situation.

He walked to the door of a room and heard voices coming from inside.

He stopped and listened carefully.

"Is he awake?" a man's voice asked.

"Not yet," a woman's voice replied.

"Who is he?" the man asked again.

“I don’t know. We found him in the cave,” the woman replied.

"How did he appear in the cave?" the man asked puzzledly.

"I don't know, maybe he got lost," said the woman.

"No matter who he is, lock him up first," said the man.

When Zhang Ling heard this, he was shocked and quickly turned around and walked back.

He didn't know who these people were or why they locked him up.

He must escape from here as soon as possible.

He ran back to his room, closed the door, and began looking for an exit.

He found that there was only one window in the room, which was very high and there was a cliff outside.

He walked to the window and looked out.

There were only steep cliffs, so deep that it was chilling.

"What should I do?" Zhang Ling was extremely anxious.

Just then, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

He quickly hid under the bed.

The door was pushed open and a man walked in.

The man walked to the bed and looked around.

"Where are the people?" the man said to himself.

He walked to the window and looked out.

"Did he escape through the window?" the man asked himself in confusion.

He turned to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Ling under the bed suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed the man's ankle.

Deep in the cave, it was pitch black, and Zhang Ling stumbled after Bai Ningshuang, his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

"Who are they? Why are they chasing me?" Zhang Ling asked breathlessly, with fear and confusion intertwined.

Bai Ningshuang did not answer, but just quickened her pace and her breathing became rapid.

"Ningshuang, tell me!" There was a hint of crying in Zhang Ling's voice. He felt like a rabbit being chased by a hunter and could be caught at any time.

Bai Ningshuang suddenly stopped and pulled Zhang Ling into a narrow crevice.

"Shh!" Bai Ningshuang put her finger on her lips, signaling Zhang Ling not to make any sound.

Zhang Ling held his breath and listened to the noise outside.

A chaotic sound of footsteps came closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

"They are coming in!" Zhang Ling's heart tightened and he clenched his fists.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Bai Ningshuang said softly, her tone full of determination.

Zhang Ling looked at Bai Ningshuang's determined eyes and felt a little relieved.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and seemed to be just outside the crevice.

Zhang Ling could even hear the heavy breathing of the pursuers.

"Search! Search carefully! He must be nearby!" A rough voice echoed in the cave.

Zhang Ling's heart was in his throat. He felt like a mouse trapped in a cage, with nowhere to escape.

The pursuers searched the cave, but did not find Zhang Ling and Bai Ningshuang, so they left.

"They're gone." Bai Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Zhang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground.

"Ningshuang, thank you." Zhang Ling said gratefully.

Bai Ningshuang shook her head and said, "Don't thank me. This is what I should do."

"But why are they chasing me?" Zhang Ling asked again. This question has been bothering him.

Bai Ningshuang was silent for a moment, then said, "Because... because you are the chosen one."

"The Chosen One?" Zhang Ling asked doubtfully, "What does that mean?"

"You are destined to become an emperor and rule the world." Bai Ningshuang said, "And those who are chasing you are afraid that you will threaten their status."

"Emperor? Rule the world?" Zhang Ling murmured to himself, feeling that all this was like a dream.

"Yes." Bai Ningshuang nodded firmly, "You have the talent to be an emperor, and you are destined to change this chaotic world."

Zhang Ling looked at Bai Ningshuang's determined eyes, his heart filled with doubts and confusion.

He didn't know why he became the chosen one, nor did he know how he could change this chaotic world.

He only knew that he needed to survive now, and only by surviving could he find the answer.

"Ningshuang, what should we do now?" Zhang Ling asked.

Bai Ningshuang thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave here first and find a safe place."

"Okay." Zhang Ling nodded and stood up.

Bai Ningshuang took Zhang Ling's hand and walked out of the crevice.

The cave was still pitch black, but Zhang Ling felt no longer so scared.

Because he knew that he was not alone, he still had Bai Ningshuang.

They walked forward along the cave, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a ray of light.

"Exit!" Zhang Ling said excitedly.

They quickened their pace and ran towards the light.

When they walked out of the cave, they were stunned by the scene before them.

I saw a dense forest outside. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming mottled light and shadows on the ground.

Birds are singing happily on the branches and butterflies are dancing among the flowers.

"How beautiful!" Zhang Ling couldn't help but exclaim.

Bai Ningshuang also smiled and said, "Yes, it's beautiful here."

"Ningshuang, where are we going now?" Zhang Ling asked.

Bai Ningshuang thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to rest first, and then make plans."

"Okay." Zhang Ling nodded.

They found a flat place and sat down.

"Ningshuang, are you hungry?" Zhang Ling asked.

Bai Ningshuang shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry."

Zhang Ling took out some dry food from his arms, handed it to Bai Ningshuang, and said, "Eat some to replenish your energy."
