Chapter 12969 She in the Distance
Therefore, Ling Xiao's heart was not shaken at all. His goal remained firm - to kill his way to the Jiang family and seek justice for himself. Whether Jiang Lianheng was still in the Jiang family or not, his fate was already determined.
As long as Ling Xiao is still alive, he will never let go of anyone who has hurt him or his loved ones. He is determined to win this battle of revenge!
Ling Xiao's gaze was as cold as ice as he swept over Ji Wuming, who was tightly entangled by the black-horned dragon. There was no fluctuation in his deep eyes, only cold determination.
He slowly raised the long knife in his hand, and the blade flashed cold light in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if it could cut through everything. With a wave of his arm, a sharp blade light cut through the sky, carrying an incomparable might, and went straight to Ji Wuming.
"Don't... don't kill me, my Ji family..." Ji Wuming's voice was full of fear and despair. He tried to use the name of his family in exchange for a glimmer of hope, but before he could finish his words, the cold blade had pierced through his chest. Blood splattered everywhere, staining his clothes red, and also announcing his end.
The warriors from the Jiang and Ji families all witnessed this scene with horror on their faces. They wanted to escape, but Ling Xiao's swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and every move was precise and deadly, leaving them no chance to escape. In the end, these once invincible warriors all fell in a pool of blood, and no one survived.
After the battle, Ling Xiao stood there, gazing into the distance with a bit of fatigue. There, the people from the other five major families were watching all this from afar, their faces were filled with complex emotions, including fear, shock, and awe of Ling Xiao's strength.
"My friend, please don't misunderstand me. We are not on the same side as the Ji family and the Jiang family. We have no hostility towards you. We will leave now!" One of them summoned up his courage and shouted loudly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. The others followed suit and left in a hurry, fearing that Ling Xiao would vent his anger on them.
Ling Xiao didn't chase after him, and he couldn't chase after him.
He knew that he had reached his limit. The backlash from using the Earth Dragon Technique and the Sky Luo Magic Tool was wreaking havoc in his body, making him feel unprecedentedly heavy and exhausted. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the disorder and pain in his body.
When he opened his eyes again, there was no one around him. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, covering him with a layer of golden light, but it could not hide the fatigue and vicissitudes in his eyes.
When those figures completely disappeared from sight and even the last faint breath dissipated into nothingness, Ling Xiao finally relaxed his tense nerves and slowly retracted the Tianluo magic tool that contained terrifying power.
However, this action seemed to exhaust all his strength. His body trembled violently, and then he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string and fell into a deep coma.
"Xiao'er!" Jiang Xiruo's face turned pale instantly when she saw this. She no longer cared about her injuries that had not yet healed. She stood up suddenly and rushed towards Ling Xiao regardless of everything. Her heart was filled with anxiety and fear, fearing that Ling Xiao would leave her.
When she finally came to Ling Xiao, the scene before her made her heart ache. Ling Xiao's body was covered with a layer of black substance, and the marks were of varying depths, as if he had been mercilessly burned by a raging fire, which was shocking.
His breathing was weak and rapid, his face was as pale as paper, and he was obviously in a state of extreme weakness.
"He is very weak. It should be the backlash of the treasure..." Jiang Xiqing followed closely behind. There was a tremor in her voice. She was obviously shocked by the scene before her. She looked at Jiang Xiruo, her eyes full of worry and anxiety. "Sister, we must take measures as soon as possible, otherwise Xiaoer might be in danger of his life."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiruo suppressed her grief and quickly calmed down. She looked around and thought about her next move.
Finally, she made a decision: "We have to leave here and go to the secret area. Although it is full of dangers, it is also the safest place. As long as we don't go deep into it and stay on the edge, we should be able to avoid being hunted down by those people."
Immediately, Jiang Xiruo picked up Ling Xiao and walked towards the depths of the Strange Island with firm and rapid steps. Every step seemed to carry endless determination and maternal love.
There was an unquestionable determination in her eyes. Even the dangers lurking in the unknown depths of the Strange Island could not shake her in the slightest.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiqing felt uneasy but quickly followed them. The thirteen demon generals followed them like a shadow, loyally guarding around them to prevent any accidents.
In Jiang Xiruo's arms, Ling Xiao's body continued to tremble, and occasionally he would let out a faint, heartbreaking howl.
This voice was like a sharp blade, cutting Jiang Xiruo's heart again and again. She hugged Ling Xiao tightly, as if to pass all her warmth and strength to him, but she couldn't completely relieve the pain in his body.
Jiang Xiruo's eyes were already wet, and tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string, dripping onto Ling Xiao's cold face, or being gently blown away by the wind.
Her heart was filled with endless guilt and self-blame, and this emotion surged like a tide, almost drowning her.
She recalled the hardships and efforts Ling Xiao had made on the road of martial arts, and she, as a mother, had never given him the support and help he deserved. Now, Ling Xiao had to endure such a serious backlash in order to save her, how could she feel at ease?
"Xiao'er, I'm sorry for you..." Jiang Xiruo's voice was choked with sobs. She secretly swore that from now on, no matter what happened, she would do her best to protect her son and prevent him from getting hurt again.
Guilt!
Endless guilt!
She swore that she would protect her son for the rest of her life, even at the cost of her own.
……
The Bai Ze Continent is vast and boundless. In a picturesque secret place shrouded in mist, the Moon Girl stands quietly in the void, surrounded by the faint moonlight, as if she has merged into one with the night sky.
In front of her, a man with an upright figure and extraordinary temperament stood, his flawless white robe fluttering in the wind, like an immortal descending from the sky, extraordinary and otherworldly.
The moonlight poured down, casting a soft glow on this handsome man. His face was handsome, but his eyes revealed some indescribable complex emotions.
He put his hands lightly behind his back, looked deeply at Yue Nu, and said with a bit of helplessness and pity: "Junior sister, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still obsessed with the past.
For a man who may have forgotten his past, you traveled alone across thousands of mountains and rivers, through countless unknown territories, and this journey lasted for more than a dozen years. Is such a sacrifice really worth it? "
