Chapter 12979 Demonic Soul Beast

This teleportation talisman was Jiang Yuan's last trump card, which could save his life at a critical moment. He crushed the teleportation talisman without hesitation, hoping to escape this doomed situation.

However, even at that critical moment, Jiang Yuan tried his best to activate the teleportation talisman, trying to escape from the brink of life and death, but fate did not seem to be completely on his side.

When he was hit by Ling Xiao's profound and unfathomable soul technique, his consciousness gradually sank and the world around him began to blur. Until the moment he completely lost consciousness, the golden flame's attack came again mercilessly like a soul-chasing flame.

The golden flames, like a violent torrent, instantly devoured his defenseless lower body. In the flames, Jiang Yuan's body seemed to have been subjected to the most brutal smelting, emitting bursts of burning smells and crackling sounds, which was the last struggle before the fire of life was extinguished.

In a very short time, his lower body turned into nothingness, leaving only wisps of green smoke and a burning smell in the air.

At this moment of despair, Jiang Yuan's years of hard work in saving his life finally showed its extraordinary power. Under the power of the teleportation talisman, his upper body suddenly burst into a dazzling white light, which contained his desire for life and his unyielding will.

The white light was like the dawn, penetrating the blockade of flames. It carried the afterimage of his upper body, cut through the sky at an incredible speed, and escaped into the unknown distance.

This scene was both tragic and shocking, and people couldn't help but sigh for Jiang Yuan's fate. Although he made the wisest choice at the critical moment of life and death, he still paid a painful price under the tacit cooperation of the two powerful men, Jin Yan and Ling Xiao.

The escaping white light was both his hope of escape and the testimony of his tragic defeat, reminding the world that in this world where the strong are respected, every step must be taken with caution, and every decision may determine life or death.

……

"Jin Yan, stop!" Ling Xiao's voice was a little hurried. He knew very well that the situation at the moment was delicate and it was not advisable to act rashly. "Don't chase. We have to act cautiously. There may be an ambush outside, waiting for us to fall into the trap." His words revealed his keen insight into unknown dangers and careful consideration.

Jin Yan paused when he heard this, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes burning with golden flames, but was soon replaced by reason. He knew very well that as Ling Xiao's partner, protecting his safety was far more important than personal grudges.

So, he nodded slowly, turned around and returned to Ling Xiao's side. When their eyes met, there was no need for words, the tacit understanding and trust between them were enough.

Then, Ling Xiao turned to Jiang Xiruo and Jiang Xiqing, his eyes full of tenderness and pride. He gently took Jin Yan's hand and introduced him to the two women: "Mother, aunt, this is the Jin Yan I often mention. He is not only my best friend, but also a brother who has gone through life and death and hardships with me. The friendship between us has long surpassed the scope of what can be expressed in words."

Upon seeing this, Jin Yan hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Jiang Xiruo and Jiang Xiqing respectfully and sincerely: "Hello, auntie, hello. Ling Xiao often mentioned you two to me. It is a great honor to meet you today." His voice was steady and powerful, revealing his respect for his elders and his cherishment of this relationship.

However, just as this warm scene was about to freeze, a sudden terrifying aura came like a dark cloud, instantly covering the entire space. This aura contained a heart-pounding pressure, as if even the air was frozen, making everyone present feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Everyone's faces turned solemn in an instant. They all looked towards the depths of the darkness at the same time, only to see a blurry and huge figure slowly approaching.

Every step of that figure seemed to tread on the heartstrings of the crowd. Along with the heavy footsteps, an indescribable sense of oppression almost suffocated the people present. It was not only physical oppression, but also a shock to the soul, which made people involuntarily feel desperate and want to escape but have nowhere to escape.

Jiang Xiruo and Jiang Xiqing clung to each other, their eyes full of fear and anxiety, while Ling Xiao and Jin Yan looked at each other and saw determination and fearlessness in each other's eyes. They knew that no matter what was waiting for them ahead, they would fight side by side and face it together.

"It is it!" The Demon Soul King's exclamation of shock and recognition suddenly echoed within the magic needle space, his voice mixed with excitement and surprise that were difficult to conceal.

These two short and powerful words, like a bolt from the blue, instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, including Ling Xiao and Jin Yan, who were facing the terrifying monster with their hearts filled with powerlessness and despair.

Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and that look of surprise was like the brightest star in the night sky, instantly illuminating his furrowed brows.

He knew very well that the power displayed by the monster was so great that even if he and a strong man like Jin Yan joined forces, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree, and it would be difficult to shake it in the slightest. At this moment, the exclamation of the Demon Soul King undoubtedly brought him a ray of hope, as if it cast a ray of hope in the abyss of despair.

"Senior, you... do you know what that thing is?" Ling Xiao's voice trembled slightly, both because of his inner excitement and because this sudden turn of events made him a little unbelievable.

He stared closely at the black mist that slowly walked out of the magic needle space. It was the incarnation of the Demon Soul King. It appeared in an almost unreal posture, with its face looming under the cover of the black mist, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

The Demon Soul King did not answer directly, but the confidence and strength emanating from it was the most direct affirmation of Ling Xiao's question. It seemed to be silently declaring: "Of course I know the details."

And at this moment, the originally aggressive and domineering beast seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped its destructive steps.

A rare trace of fear and helplessness flashed across its eyes, and then a low and sad cry came from its huge body and echoed around. The voice was full of despair and unwillingness, as if it was succumbing to some irresistible force.

This scene moved everyone present. Ling Xiao and Jin Yan looked at each other, and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes, but also felt unprecedented hope and expectation. They knew that all these changes were caused by the mysterious Demon Soul King and the secrets he held.

"Child, there is no need to be afraid. I have no ill will towards you, and I will not take your life." The Demon Soul King's voice was low and magnetic, as if it could penetrate people's hearts and give them an inexplicable sense of security.

His words contained memories and emotions of the past, "Thinking back to that earth-shattering war, the demon soul beasts under my Demon Sect were all brave and fearless, and made great achievements in the war."
