Chapter 13141 Underground Fortress

Revenge? This thought had become so distant and vague in her mind that she even began to doubt whether she still had the courage to face that suffocatingly powerful enemy.

On the other side, at the location of Bada Commercial Bank, the atmosphere was so solemn that water could almost drip from it. Pang Yaoyue, the strong woman known for her iron fist, could not hide the gloom and unwillingness on her face at this moment.

She stood there, her eyes penetrating through all the obstructions, as if she could see directly the thrilling battle in the distance, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Bada Trading Company, as a force on par with Sitong Trading Company, also harbored deep hostility towards Ling Xiao, hoping that he would be wiped out by the encirclement of Huangquan Bulao Mountain. However, reality was like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting their fantasy.

Ling Xiao, the guy they once thought was just a little troublesome, has now transformed himself and displayed terrifying strength that makes people's heart pounding.

Not only did he not die, but he also shook the foundation of Huangquan Bulao Mountain with his own strength. This contrast made Pang Yaoyue feel unprecedented frustration and anger.

"Pass the order down," she took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. Although her voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable majesty. "Bada Trading Company will immediately stop all actions against Ling Xiao, whether overt or covert, and wait and see. We need to reassess the situation and formulate a more prudent strategy."

When issuing this order, a complex emotion flashed across Pang Yaoyue's eyes. She knew very well that this decision meant giving up the opportunity in front of her, and might even put Bada Commercial Bank at a disadvantage in future competition.

But reason told her that to be an enemy of a strong man like Ling Xiao was like hitting a rock with an egg, especially after he had just displayed such amazing strength.

"Yes!" A trusted subordinate responded and his figure quickly disappeared behind the door, like a ghost in the dark night, carrying out his master's will.

Pang Yaoyue continued to stand in front of the window, gazing into the distance, feeling unwilling and deeply worried about the future. She knew that the storm was far from over, and the feud between Bada Commercial Bank and Ling Xiao might have just begun.

In the distance, Ling Xiao's steps were firm and powerful, and every step seemed to be on the beat of fate. He slowly walked towards the entrance of the underground fortress. The sun shone obliquely, coating his tall figure with a layer of golden light, but also reflecting the unquestionable determination in his eyes.

Above the entrance stands a huge stone tablet, which seems to be the guardian of the earth. It has gone through many vicissitudes of life and still stands tall.

The surface of the stone tablet is mottled and engraved with ancient runes, each stroke of which reveals the accumulation of years and unspeakable power. Its huge size seems to be able to swallow up the courage of all challengers, giving people a sense of being unshakable.

Ling Xiao stared at the stone tablet, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth, which was a contempt for the powerful enemy and also a confidence in his own strength.

He raised his hand lightly, and the bloodthirsty sword spirit in his hand transformed into a blood-colored stream of light. The blade seemed to condense the resentment and unyielding spirit of thousands of lives, emitting a heart-pounding chill.

"A mere stone tablet, do you think you can block my way?" Ling Xiao whispered, and then he jumped up suddenly, like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, and swung the bloodthirsty sword in his hand violently, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, and went straight for the stone tablet.

boom--

With a slash of the sword, sparks flew when the sword collided with the stone tablet, and the sword energy raged like a tornado. The entire wilderness seemed to be shocked by this power, and the roar echoed for a long time.

However, in the face of this earth-shaking force, the stone tablet was like a rock, not moving at all, not even a trace of a crack appeared.

Ling Xiao frowned, and a trace of surprise and solemnity flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that this stone tablet was definitely not an ordinary thing. It could withstand his full-strength attack without any damage. There must be an extraordinary mystery behind it.

Without any hesitation, Ling Xiao gathered his strength again. This time, he not only mobilized the tyranny and wildness of the bloodthirsty sword soul, but also incorporated the holiness and majesty of the god-killing sword soul into it.

Two completely different forces intertwined and collided in his body, and finally merged into one, turning into an unprecedentedly bright sword light, slashing towards the stone tablet again.

boom!
There was another loud noise, and this time the stone tablet finally reacted. It shook violently, as if it had endured an unimaginable impact.

However, even so, the stone tablet still holds its position. Although there are some fluctuations on the surface, it does not leave any trace of damage. Its toughness and tenacity are breathtaking.

Ling Xiao looked at the stone tablet and could not help but feel a sense of respect in his heart. He knew that if he wanted to break through this barrier, brute force alone was far from enough, and he had to find the weakness of the stone tablet or find another way.

So, he slowly put away the bloodthirsty sword spirit and searched the stone tablet carefully, looking for any possible flaw.

Ling Xiao's brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes flashing with solemnity and thought, as if he was examining an ancient and complex puzzle.

"This door is indeed extraordinary. The power it contains is far beyond imagination!" He thought to himself, and his tone showed both awe of the challenge and confidence in the method he was about to use.

Then, a sneer crept up the corner of his mouth. That smile contained unruly and arrogant, as if saying: "No matter how strong you are, I have my trump card."

Ling Xiao knew very well that although the stone tablet in front of him was strong, it was not invulnerable, because he held in his hand a treasure that could unlock the secrets of all things in the world - a magical hair from his previous life.

He slowly stretched out his right hand and gently spread his palm, as if he was performing a sacred ritual. He took out a hair as thin as a hair from his sleeve. This hair looked ordinary, but it emitted a faint fluorescence, containing indescribable power and mystery.

Ling Xiao silently thought in his heart that each of these three hairs was obtained by him after experiencing countless hardships and adventures in his previous life, and each of them has the ability to change the world:
One can command a hundred thousand monkey soldiers and be invincible; one can destroy everything in the world and is indestructible; the last one even has the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life.

"Today, I will let you see the power of this hair that can 'break everything'!" Ling Xiao whispered in his heart, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

He raised his hand slightly and flicked his fingertips lightly. The hair seemed to be given life and instantly turned into a stream of light, cutting through the air and heading straight for the base of the stone tablet.

There was a faint sound, almost inaudible, but shocking. The stream of light hit the base of the stone tablet accurately, and in an instant, a tiny but clearly visible hole appeared on the stone tablet.

Although the hole is small, it is enough to prove the terrifying power contained in the hair, which is enough to penetrate any seemingly indestructible object in the world.

Ling Xiao looked at the hole, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a light of victory flashed in his eyes.
