Chapter 13047 Don’t run away!

"No!"

This word is short but full of affection and determination. Ling Xiao knows that death is the final destination for everyone, and he is no exception.

He has lived a long and tortuous life, witnessed countless deaths and separations, and has a deep understanding of death. However, it is this deep understanding of life that makes him cherish every moment in front of him and be unwilling to give up easily.

He thought of the friends who fought alongside him, the relatives who gave him warmth and strength, their smiles, their trust, their expectations... All of this made it impossible for him to choose to escape alone.

Why fear death? He had already put life and death aside, but in this fearlessness, there was also a deep attachment and reluctance to friendship and family affection.

So Ling Xiao took a deep breath and temporarily put aside the fear and fatigue in his heart. He slowly straightened his back, his eyes were like torches, as if there was a flame burning.

He stood up again, not showing any intention of escaping. Instead, he took firm steps and rushed forward resolutely to face Ji Tianyan's destructive power.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's figure seemed particularly tall, and every step he took was full of firm belief and unyielding will. He knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but he knew that only by facing it bravely could he have a clear conscience and protect the things that were more important to him than life.

Ji Tianyan's lips curled up into a cold smile, that smile contained both disdain and confidence towards Ling Xiao.

He slowly raised his hand. His movements seemed casual, but they contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. As he waved his arm, a powerful force surged out from his palm, surging like a tide, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant with an unstoppable force.

Wherever this force passed, the space seemed to be distorted and the air was squeezed to make a sharp whistle.

Ling Xiao's face suddenly changed when he saw this. He knew the gap between himself and Ji Tianyan, but even so, he did not retreat at all. However, facing this irresistible force, he was finally beaten back fiercely. He was like a kite with a broken string, and instantly flew backwards hundreds of feet away before he could barely stabilize his body.

On the other side, Huang Hai looked at this scene, shook his head gently, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Huang Xiangu beside him frowned and said in a deep voice: "This Ling Xiao is indeed extraordinary, but compared with Ji Tianyan, a Tianhe Realm expert, he is still too insignificant. Brother, we can't hesitate any longer. While the situation is chaotic, we must take action. With my strength, I may be able to snatch the legendary treasure."

Huang Hai heard this, looked deeply at the center of the battlefield, and said softly: "You are right, Ji Tianyan's strength has exceeded our imagination. He can control the power of the Tianhe River. How terrifying it is. Although Ling Xiao has many magical equipment, in front of such power, he is just a mantis trying to stop a chariot. However..."

At this point, Huang Hai paused for a moment. He turned to look at Huang Xiangu, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. "My sister, did you notice? Even though Ling Xiao was knocked hundreds of feet away, he still had no intention of giving up. His eyes were full of tenacity and indomitable spirit. I suspect he may be hiding some cards that we don't know about."

"Trump card? Are you talking about the legendary Seven Deadly Killing Formation, which could actually wipe out two strong men at the peak of the Tongtian Realm in an instant? This kind of power is enough to shock the world, but it is not his limit? If he has a deeper trump card in his hand, then this person... It is simply unimaginable how terrifying he is!"

There was a hint of disbelief and amazement in Huang Xiangu's tone. She stared at Ling Xiao in the distance, secretly wondering in her heart how unfathomable he was.

Huang Hai smiled meaningfully upon hearing this. He shook his head gently, as if to appease his sister's doubts: "Fairy, you have to believe that in this troubled world, the truly powerful always have secret weapons that are unknown to the public. Ling Xiao has come this far, not just relying on those known means. His trump card may be the turning point we have been waiting for today. Therefore, we must believe that he still has something to hold back, and he must have it."

As they talked, their eyes were focused on the center of the battlefield again. Ji Tianyan's figure was like a demon descending, slowly approaching Ling Xiao.

Each of his steps seemed to step on everyone's heartstrings, heavy and powerful. As he approached, powerful auras gushed out from his body. These auras did not exist alone, but intertwined and entangled with each other, forming an indescribable sense of oppression.

This breath was not only so strong that it was suffocating, but also had the power to penetrate space. It ignored the barriers of space and directly acted on Ling Xiao's surroundings, causing the originally stable space to begin to fluctuate violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

Ling Xiao was surrounded by this aura, his clothes rustled and his face was solemn, but his eyes still sparkled with an unyielding light, as if announcing his stubbornness and persistence to the world.

Ji Tianyan's gaze was as sharp as a torch, shooting straight at Ye Xuan. There was both scrutiny and provocation in his eyes, as if he wanted to dig out the secrets deep in Ye Xuan's heart one by one.

"I have been in the world for many years, how could I not know that there must be a master helping you behind the scenes? Today, let me witness with my own eyes who that mysterious man in black is! Or does he intend to wait until your life is hanging by a thread before he shows up to save you?" Ji Tianyan's words revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if everything was under his control.

Facing Ji Tianyan's aggressiveness, Ling Xiao curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, which contained both disdain and determination.

"Let him come out? Humph, you, Ji Tianyan, are not worthy of letting him show up! Why do I, Ling Xiao, need others to tell me what to do?" After saying that, he stretched out his body and rushed towards Ji Tianyan again like an arrow from a bow, his posture full of unyielding and stubbornness.

However, the gap in strength is obvious.

Ji Tianyan just waved his hand lightly, and a powerful force surged like a tide, knocking Ling Xiao away fiercely. This time the collision was more violent than any previous one. Ling Xiao's body drew a long arc in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground, with dust flying.

But surprisingly, Ling Xiao didn't seem to be seriously hurt. He struggled to get up from the ground, with an unyielding light still flashing in his eyes.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gathered all his strength again, and prepared to launch the next round of attack. This scene was repeated over and over again, and each impact was accompanied by a more violent collision, and each time he was knocked away, it seemed to indicate that Ling Xiao was about to reach his limit.
