Chapter 13139 Must Join Forces

In the distance, at the foot of Huangquan Bulao Mountain, which was illuminated by the sun, the face of the Second Protector was distorted with anger. His voice penetrated the tranquility of the early morning, with a tremor of disbelief:
"Ling Xiao, you...what on earth did you do! How could there be such a crazy person like you in this world!" His eyes seemed to be able to spit out flames as he stared at the figure in front of him, full of confusion and anger.

Ling Xiao stood in mid-air, the sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a faint halo around him, but it could not conceal the coldness and disdain in his eyes.

He glanced at the second guardian with contempt, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and magnetic, as if it could penetrate people's hearts: "Why do you ask such an obvious, yet so stupid question? Everything I did was just for Zhu'er. If you could let Zhu'er go, why would I do this?"

After he finished speaking, the aura around him suddenly condensed, as if even the air had solidified. The next moment, Ling Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared like a ghost in the astonished eyes of everyone, leaving only a faint afterimage that slowly dissipated in the air.

Upon seeing this, the second protector's face turned pale as paper in an instant, his pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, prompting him to quickly step back several steps, trying to distance himself from this sudden change.

The wind around him seemed to become faster because of his panic, blowing up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground to form whirlpools.

At this moment, a deafening roar came from afar, breaking the silence of the area. Then, a figure flew over at lightning speed, and it was the Four Dharma Protectors.

He had just finished a fierce battle with the bone giant, his clothes were a little messy, but his eyes were extremely determined. He did not hesitate to block the path that Ling Xiao might take, like an insurmountable mountain, vowing to protect the peace behind him.

"Ling Xiao, your journey ends here!" The four guardians' voices were deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty. However, facing such an obstruction, Ling Xiao just smiled lightly, and that smile was full of contempt for all challenges.

"Get out!" He spat out the word coldly. Although the voice was light, it seemed to contain overwhelming power.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand, and a long sword flashing with dark light appeared out of thin air above his fingertips. It was the Tianluo magic tool on his body. This long sword was not only extremely sharp, but also contained a terrifying force that could shake the heaven and earth.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's aura reached its peak, as if nothing in the world could restrain him anymore.

boom!
The loud noise was like a bolt from the blue, shaking the air around them. Under the impact of the huge force, the figures of the four guardians flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, drawing a long arc, and finally fell heavily on a ruin not far away.

Dust flew, gravel splashed, and the four guardians were surrounded by visible shock waves, obviously suffering from considerable trauma. He struggled to get up, but his body seemed to be pressed by a huge rock, unable to move, and could only groan in pain.

This scene made the Second Guardian's face suddenly become solemn. He knew the Fourth Guardian's strength very well, and was even more aware of the terrifying power contained in this attack.

However, Ling Xiao easily neutralized this attack and severely injured the four guardians. The second guardian felt a chill in his heart, as well as a bit of reluctance and anger.

He raised his head suddenly, staring at Ling Xiao with a sharp gaze. He held the long sword tightly with both hands, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, as if he would burst out with a more fierce attack at any time.

However, at this critical moment, he chose to defend himself. With a flash of sword light, he accurately blocked Ling Xiao's second knife. The collision of sword and knife set off circles of dazzling sparks, accompanied by a deafening sound of metal clashing, which echoed over the ruins.

"What a powerful force!" The second protector was secretly shocked, but at the same time he did not forget to observe Ling Xiao vigilantly.

He found that the armor on Ling Xiao was shining strangely in the sun, as if it contained some mysterious power. This reminded him of what the four guardians had said before, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Although the fourth guardian was seriously injured, he was still conscious. He barely raised his head and looked at Ling Xiao with complicated eyes. There was shock and reluctance in his eyes, but more importantly, there was a new understanding of Ling Xiao's strength.

He recalled the previous fight with Ling Xiao. Although Ling Xiao was not weak at that time, he was definitely not as strong as he is now. And now, he was actually chopped away by Ling Xiao with one sword. The change was so great that he felt unbelievable.

"Don't be careless..." The second guardian's voice sounded in the fourth guardian's ear, with a bit of seriousness and urgency, "The armor on this kid is a bit strange. If he doesn't wear that, he is no match for us. But now, we can't be his opponent one-on-one. We must join forces."

The words of the Second Protector were full of a clear understanding of the situation and a firm determination for the future. He knew that he could not fight Ling Xiao alone, and only by unity could he defeat this powerful enemy.

Hearing this, the shock on the Fourth Protector's face became even more intense. He slowly shifted his gaze from Ling Xiao's stern face to the Tianluo magic tool that Ling Xiao was wearing.

The magic tool glowed darkly and deeply in the sunlight, and every inch of it seemed to contain an ancient and powerful force, which made people feel awe involuntarily. The four guardians frowned, and a complex emotion flashed in their eyes, including fear of the unknown and helplessness about the power gap.

Just as the four guardians were lost in thought, Ling Xiao's figure had appeared in front of them like a ghost. He was tall and straight, with an imposing manner, like a god of war from ancient times. He single-handedly fought against two Tianhe Realm warriors, but did not seem at a disadvantage at all.

Each of his movements was smooth and precise, as if every detail had been carefully calculated, which was breathtaking.

The second and fourth guardians, both of whom were considered the best in the Tianhe Realm, felt unprecedented pressure at this moment.

They attacked together, but it was as if they were hitting an invisible ball of cotton. The force was cleverly dissipated and could not cause any substantial damage to Ling Xiao.

What made them even more frustrated was that whenever they tried to find Ling Xiao's flaws, they were always discovered in advance by the other party's keen insight, thus falling into an even more passive situation.

They began to realize that the reason why Ling Xiao was so powerful was not only because of his extraordinary strength and fighting skills, but also because of the blessing of the Tianluo magic tool on his body.

The magic tool seemed to have covered Ling Xiao with a layer of indestructible armor, which not only greatly enhanced his defense, but also gave him even more terrifying attack capabilities.
