Chapter 13145: Stitched Monster

The Second Protector's heart was filled with humiliation and anger. The four Huangquan generals, the elites under his command, were killed so easily by the other side. This was undoubtedly a huge blow and insult to him.

However, despite his anger, he also clearly realized that with his current strength, he could not compete with Ling Xiao. So, he suppressed his resentment, gritted his teeth, turned around and retreated to the depths of the hall.

Inside the hall, there was only dead silence and coldness. The second guardian's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. His heart was filled with fear of the unknown and confusion about the future.

The death of the four Huangquan generals was not just a failure in a battle, but also a significant weakening of the power of Huangquan Bulao Mountain. As the second protector, he was powerless to prevent all this from happening. How could he not feel ashamed and angry?
He turned his head and stared at Ling Xiao through the door. His eyes seemed to be burning with rage, his teeth were gritting, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:
"Ling Xiao, you've gone too far. I, Huangquan Bulaoshan, will never forgive you and will never let you go!" There was a tremor in his voice, a complex emotion of anger and fear, as if even the air around him was frozen because of his anger.

Ling Xiao stood like a pine tree, his eyes were cold and deep, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts. "Hand over Xiao Lianzhu, and I will stop." His tone was calm and firm, and every word was clearly heard by everyone present, with unquestionable power.

The second guardian's face was extremely ugly, and his heart was full of contradictions and struggles. It was not that he did not want to hand over Xiao Lianzhu, but he was well aware of the interests behind it. Once Xiao Lianzhu fell into Ling Xiao's hands, he would face unimaginable consequences.

He has reported the matter to Hun Wuxu, the being with supreme status in Huangquan Bulao Mountain. If Xiao Lianzhu is lost due to his own mistake, his fate can be imagined.

At the moment when he was struggling and hesitating, Ling Xiao's figure suddenly became blurred, and then only a faint afterimage was left there.

The second guardian's face suddenly changed, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He suddenly jumped back, and dodged quickly like a ghost. However, just as he stood firm, a black shadow appeared silently at the place where he was originally standing. The speed was so fast that it was beyond imagination.

The second protector's heart suddenly tightened, but then a complicated smile appeared on his face, which contained both relief and cunning.

"Hahaha, it finally worked!" He laughed, with a bit of pride and madness in his voice, "Boy, do you think my Huangquan Bulao Mountain is really so vulnerable? Today, even if you want to leave, you can't!" There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen that Ling Xiao's defeat was inevitable.

Ling Xiao's brows unconsciously knitted slightly, his eyes fixed on the black shadow that suddenly appeared, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart involuntarily.

As the black shadow gradually approached, its outline became clearer. It turned out to be a creepy monster, more than five meters tall, like a moving hill, and with a menacing momentum.

The appearance of this monster is rare in the world and extremely ugly. Although it barely maintains a human frame, its body structure is shocking.

A huge mouth opened in its abdomen, with fangs intertwined in its bloody mouth, as if it could devour everything; and its body seemed to be randomly pieced together from countless pieces of flesh and blood, and every inch of its skin revealed distortion and incoordination, which was chilling.

The most horrifying thing is that it has two heads. They are neither human nor animal, but majestic heads similar to those of lions and tigers, with ferocity and cunningness flashing in its eyes.

Its arms were extremely sturdy and covered with thick black hair, and its fingertips were as sharp as blades, more like the claws of a tiger, able to tear through heavy armor with ease; and its feet were shaped like dragon claws, and every step it took was accompanied by a heavy roar, as if even the earth was shaking.

Faced with this sudden terrifying creature, Ling Xiao quickly adjusted his breathing, the spiritual power surged in his body, and the weapon in his hand instantly burst into dazzling light.

He raised his hand without hesitation and slashed, the blade flashed like lightning, cutting through the air and heading straight for the monster. However, this strike did not work as easily as he had hoped.

"Bang!" There was a deafening muffled sound, like huge rocks colliding. Ling Xiao only felt an irresistible force coming from the tip of the knife. The whole person was instantly blown away. His body drew a long arc in the air and finally landed more than ten meters away.

The ground shook slightly due to his impact, and dust flew up, which showed how powerful the recoil force of this blow was.

Ling Xiao steadied himself, his eyes becoming more serious, he knew very well that this monster was no ordinary creature. The monster seemed to be aroused, and let out a deafening roar towards the sky, rushing towards Ling Xiao again, with that momentum, as if to tear everything that stood in its way into pieces.

Ling Xiao's facial expression suddenly changed, the corners of his mouth curled up into an extremely cold arc, and there seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes. He growled, his voice full of majesty that should not be underestimated: "I'm giving you face, right, Dragon Transformation!"

At this moment, he seemed no longer to be that ordinary boy, but had transformed into a legendary dragon warrior.

As the words fell, a powerful spiritual power surged out of his body, as if a sleeping dragon was awakened. Under Ling Xiao's skin, fine dragon scales grew rapidly, covering his entire body, shining with a cold metallic luster.

In the center of his forehead, a pair of sharp dragon horns broke through the skin, pointing straight to the sky, exuding a faint aura of majesty.

His height suddenly increased under the effect of dragon transformation, instantly breaking through the two-meter limit. His muscles were smooth and full of explosive power, and his whole body exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.

He rushed directly towards the monster like an awakened dragon. The sword in his hand seemed to have become an extension of the dragon scales, flashing dazzling light.

The moment he approached the monster, Ling Xiao swung both hands at the same time, and the swords and knives intertwined into an impenetrable net. Each strike contained the power to tear apart space and directly hit the monster's vital points.

"Boom!" A low and shocking muffled sound exploded like thunder in the field, and the air seemed to be filled with a breath of destruction. Dust rose up and the vision became blurred for a moment.

When the dust settled, it was seen that although Ling Xiao had retreated four or five meters, his steps were still steady and his eyes were filled with even stronger fighting spirit.

Although the monster retreated more than ten meters, it was obvious that there were several shocking scars on its body surface. Blood was flowing out, staining the ground red.
