Chapter 12915 Almost scared to death

"You are so brave that you dare to enter this strange island alone and try to rescue your mother. Humph, do you know that there is no return from this place? Many heroes have died here. Why do you think you can escape unscathed?"

The woman's words were full of disdain and contempt for Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao did not get angry. He knew very well that in this world where the strong are respected, only strength can win respect. He raised his head slightly and looked at the woman, his eyes flashing with unyielding and determination.

Deep in Ling Xiao's eyes, it seemed as if ice was slowly condensing, and an indescribable cold murderous intent quietly emerged. His sight became unusually sharp, like the sharpest ice blade in winter, locking straight into the woman's body, as if he wanted to take in everything about her, leaving no room for leeway.

"I'll give you a choice, a chance to live." Ling Xiao's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with unquestionable majesty. "Now, kneel before me, apologize for your rudeness, and tell me how to break the chains that bind my mother. As long as you do this, I can consider sparing your life."

There was no hesitation or compromise in his tone, only cold commands and irresistible determination. In front of this powerful momentum, even the woman with good cultivation could not help but feel a palpitation, as if she was tightly bound by an invisible force and could not move.

However, the woman was not frightened by Ling Xiao's threat. Instead, she laughed as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. The corners of her mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm and she chuckled. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, but full of disdain and ridicule for Ling Xiao.

"You'll spare my life? That's ridiculous." The woman shook her head in disdain, her eyes full of doubt and disdain for Ling Xiao's strength, "Who do you think you are? You're just a rookie, and you dare to speak nonsense in front of me. You know, the method to break this chain is not as simple as you think."

Her words revealed an inexplicable confidence and arrogance, as if everything was under her control. "To open this chain, three harsh conditions must be met."

The woman continued, "First, you need to master a special spell. This spell is complicated and difficult to understand. It is not known to ordinary people. Secondly, you need a key that perfectly matches it. This key is lying quietly in my hand at this moment. Finally, and most importantly, you must know how to use the spell and key correctly to successfully unlock the chains."

At this point, a sarcastic smile emerged on the woman's face. She deliberately downplayed these three conditions, but in fact, each condition was enough to scare away countless strong men.

"So, if you have the ability, just kill me, and you can get everything you want." She looked at Ling Xiao provocatively, "But, do you really have that ability? Or are you just a coward who only knows how to talk big?"

However, just as her voice drifted in the air, time seemed to freeze, and then, a jaw-dropping scene played out before her eyes - Ling Xiao's figure suddenly blurred in place, and then disappeared completely, as if swallowed by an invisible force.

This change was so sudden that the woman's contempt and confidence were instantly replaced by an unprecedented fear. She shuddered subconsciously, and the breath around her became disordered. It was a sense of death threat from the depths of her soul that almost suffocated her.

At the same time, the two old men behind her reacted almost at the same time due to the tacit understanding developed through years of practice.

They suddenly jumped up, and rushed towards the space where Ling Xiao had just disappeared like two lightning bolts, with determination and fierceness flashing in their eyes. Their movements were swift and powerful, and every step they took made a heavy echo. It was obvious that they used all their strength and vowed to capture the boy who dared to challenge the majesty of the Jiang family.

“Kill this little bastard!” The woman’s scream pierced the air, filled with anger and unwillingness. Her words were mixed with strong murderous intent, as if she wanted to pour out all the humiliation and anger. “Don’t kill him first, I want to take out his gallbladder with my own hands and see why he is so brave!”

Her voice trembled with anger, and the veins on her clenched fists were bulging, showing her extreme indignation and unwillingness.

Obviously, Ling Xiao's sudden attack completely broke down her psychological defenses, causing her to change from her initial contempt and ridicule to her current fear and anger.

She could not accept that a "frog in the well" in her eyes dared to attack her so boldly. This was not only a challenge to her personal dignity, but also a contempt for the authority of the Jiang family.

Therefore, she vowed to personally give Ling Xiao the most cruel punishment to calm the anger in her heart, and at the same time prove to everyone that the dignity of the Jiang family cannot be violated.

"Understood, Miss!" The two old men responded in unison, their voices revealing unquestionable loyalty and determination.

Their eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, like two sharp blades about to be unsheathed, flashing a frightening cold light. As their figures suddenly rose, the air seemed to solidify with a murderous aura that rushed straight into the sky.

In midair, two figures streaked across the sky like meteors, and in a flash, they confronted Ling Xiao head-on. The old men moved in perfect sync, swinging their weapons at almost the same time, with cold rays flashing like two silver lightning bolts, cutting through the sky and heading straight for Ling Xiao.

This is not just a simple attack, but also a concentrated display of their years of cultivation and combat experience. Each strike contains destructive power.

"The sixth level of the Wuhun Realm is enough to look down on the heroes in the Southern Region, and even in the East China Sea, it is a force that cannot be ignored." Ling Xiao thought to himself, but his face did not show any fear. To him, although the two old men were powerful, they were far from enough to make him feel threatened.

After all, he had experienced countless life-and-death tests, and even the strong men at the peak of the Martial Soul Realm had not been able to make him retreat, let alone a mere sixth-level Martial Soul Realm expert.

However, Ling Xiao had to admit that the martial arts atmosphere and the number of strong people in the East Sea were indeed far greater than those in the South Region. Although these two old men were only in the pseudo-martial spirit realm and had not yet condensed a true martial spirit, the terrifying aura they exuded was enough to scare many warriors in the South Region away.

The long swords in the hands of the two old men seemed to suddenly condense from nothingness. The swords emitted a faint cold light, and they were even sharper under the sunlight.

With a slight shake of their wrists, the long swords instantly turned into two silver lightning bolts, cutting through the sky and slashing out countless sword auras as thin as hair.
