Chapter 13031 Ji Hu

Jiang Xiqing paused slightly when she heard this, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her determined eyes. She looked at Ling Xiao's anxious and determined face, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

She understood Ling Xiao's worries and his unwillingness to see him get hurt. But at the same time, she couldn't give up the idea of ​​protecting him, which was her responsibility and obligation as an elder and a partner.

"Are you sure... can I really stop?" There was a hint of trembling in Jiang Xiqing's voice, which was the fear of unknown consequences and the wavering of her self-perseverance.

"Sure! Firm! And certain!" Ling Xiao answered without hesitation, his eyes full of trust and encouragement. He believed that Jiang Xiqing could make the right choice, and that the two of them could face the current predicament together.

After receiving Ling Xiao's affirmative answer, Jiang Xiqing finally made up her mind. She took a deep breath, and the breath in her body gradually calmed down, and the crazy and surging power also began to slowly converge.

She looked at Ling Xiao, with a touch of tenderness and gratitude in her eyes. She knew that the choice at this moment was not only for herself, but also for their common future.

"Okay then!" Jiang Xiqing uttered two words softly, and then her figure flashed and disappeared instantly. When she appeared again, she had appeared in front of Ji Lang like a ghost.

She swung the sword in her hand, and a dazzling sword light cut through the sky, knocking Ji Lang away at lightning speed.

Ji Lang's figure traced a parabola in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground. A deep blood scar appeared on his chest, and blood gushed out, staining the collar of his clothes red.

The sudden change at this moment shocked everyone. They looked at Jiang Xiqing's agile figure and sharp swordsmanship in disbelief, their hearts filled with awe and fear.

"Come and help me, this woman is very powerful and I can't fight her alone!" Ji Lang's voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness, and it resounded throughout the battlefield.

He knew very well that Jiang Xiqing's strength had greatly improved after using the Soul Locking Pearl, and he would not be able to hold out for too long if he fought alone.

Before he finished speaking, a burly, muscular man came out. He was the seventh-ranked master of the Ji family, Ji Xiong. He held a huge bear tripod, which was carved with complicated runes and emitted a faint aura. It was obviously a rare treasure.

The addition of Ji Xiong undoubtedly increased Ji Lang's chances of winning.

The two exchanged glances quickly and launched their offensive in tacit understanding. Ji Lang was agile, moving across the battlefield like a ghost, constantly looking for Jiang Xiqing's flaws; while Ji Xiong, relying on the power of the Xiong Ding, faced Jiang Xiqing's attack head-on. Every collision made the space tremble slightly, showing his amazing strength and defense.

Although Ji Lang and Ji Xiong joined forces, they could only barely resist Jiang Xiqing who used the Soul Locking Pearl and could not gain the upper hand. Jiang Xiqing's swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each sword contained amazing power and speed, making it difficult to defend against.

"Not bad, not bad. I never thought that you would need Jiang Xiqing's power to deal with my Ji family. What else can you, a so-called genius, do?" Ji Tianyan watched coldly from the side, with a sarcastic smile on his face. His tone was full of disdain and contempt, as if Ling Xiao was a joke.

However, just as he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the crowd of Ji family members.

Then, a young man fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his chest, staining the surrounding land red. His eyes were wide open, his face full of reluctance and fear, and he had obviously lost his breath.

Everyone looked closely and was shocked. It turned out that the man who fell was the son of Ji Tianyan, the young master of the Ji family, and also the best of the younger generation of the Ji family. His tragic death moved everyone present.

Ji Tianyan was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, his face as pale as paper, his eyes full of disbelief and grief.

"Haha, Ji Tianyan, as the head of the family, you can't even protect your own flesh and blood. You are so incompetent, aren't you also a waste?"

Ling Xiao's mouth curled up into a cold smile, which was mixed with sarcasm and disdain, as if he was mocking Ji Tianyan in the most direct way. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts and look directly at the pain and anger deep in Ji Tianyan's heart.

In his eyes, these so-called geniuses are nothing but superficial bubbles that will burst at the slightest touch.

Their strength was nothing in front of him, and they were not even qualified to fight him head-on. Ling Xiao's confidence and strength allowed him to maintain an aloof attitude throughout the battle.

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianyan's face instantly turned ashen, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, which were filled with endless hatred and murderous intent towards Ling Xiao.

He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood dripped from his fingers, but it did not relieve his anger and grief at all. He wanted to tear Ling Xiao into pieces immediately to avenge his son.

However, reason eventually triumphed over impulse. Ji Tianyan knew that although he could kill Ling Xiao, he had to remain calm at this critical moment to prevent the mysterious man in black from suddenly taking action and disrupting their plans.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, and scanned the Ji family members around him with a sharp gaze, as if looking for a suitable person to avenge him.

"Master, please allow me to go and avenge the young master!" At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged man sounded, breaking the silence around.

This person is none other than Ji Hu, the sixth-ranked member of the Ji family. He is thin and has cunning eyes, like a fox ready to hunt at any time. He holds a fox tripod inlaid with strange patterns, which is the product of his martial spirit and contains a power that cannot be underestimated.

Although Ji Hu's fighting ability is not as astonishing as that of several other Ji family masters, he is known for his cunning.

In life-and-death battles, he always relied on his wisdom and calculations to make his opponents step into his traps without knowing it. Many opponents who were stronger than him were eventually defeated by him. Therefore, the appearance of Ji Hu undoubtedly increased the chances of victory for the Ji family.

Ji Tianyan's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this. He knew Ji Hu's ability very well and believed that he could complete this difficult task.

"Okay, Ji Hu, I'll leave this to you. Thank you for your concern." Ji Tianyan nodded slightly. Although his voice was calm, it could not hide his complicated emotions. His eyes were deep, as if at this moment, he placed all his hopes on Ji Hu. (End of this chapter)
