Chapter 13149: Can't I lead the way for you?

The Second Protector knew very well that his threat at this moment might not change anything, but it was the only thing he could do, to use words to try to intimidate this young man who made him feel extremely scared.

However, there was no expression on Ling Xiao's face. He just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at an ant that was about to be crushed.

However, Ling Xiao did not give the second protector a chance to continue speaking. His voice was like the cold wind in winter, biting and cold: "Don't talk nonsense. Hand over Xiao Lianzhu and I will spare your life. Otherwise, whatever you say will be of no use." Every word seemed to be taken out of an ice cellar, with unquestionable determination.

Upon hearing this, the second guardian raised a ferocious smile, which was a desperate struggle and a desperate threat:

"Ling Xiao, if you dare to touch anyone from Huangquan Bulao Mountain again, I will make Xiao Lianzhu suffer all the pain in the world, unable to live or die. Didn't you always say that you care about her? I want to see how you choose between her life and death and the survival of Huangquan Bulao Mountain!"

However, Ling Xiao's eyes never wavered. He knew very well that every minute and every second at this moment was crucial and he must not let his emotions influence his judgment.

He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his body surged, as if thousands of troops were galloping, and an indescribable power was awakening in his body.

At this moment, Ling Xiao suddenly rose up, like an arrow shot from a bow, and rushed straight towards the second guardian. His speed reached its peak at this moment, as if he had broken through the limitations of his body, and turned into a black lightning, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

He used the Daluotian Demon Shadow to its fullest potential, and each afterimage contained powerful attack power, as if there were countless Ling Xiaos attacking at the same time, making it impossible to defend against.

Although the sun was shining brightly, it seemed unable to penetrate the haze of this tense confrontation. The second guardian looked at Ling Xiao's determined and fearless eyes, his face turned from pale to blue, and the surging emotions in his heart were like waves blown up by the wind, difficult to calm down.

He had never expected that Ling Xiao's decision would be so resolute, as if he had put life and death aside and completely disregarded the threats and pressures he represented as a guardian.

He quickly mobilized all his spiritual power, and it seemed as if electricity was running under every inch of his skin. His muscles were tense, ready to meet this sudden and fierce attack. However, during this urgent preparation, an ominous shadow quietly crept into his heart, like the night falling early, making people feel cold.

"boom!"

As the two men's weapons collided fiercely again, a deafening sound erupted in the air, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking.

The second Dharma Protector felt an indescribable pain that instantly spread from the point where the weapons made contact to his entire body. It was a pain that penetrated deep into his bones, and even his soul seemed to be torn to pieces by this force. His internal organs were like being hit by a heavy hammer, and the pain was unbearable, almost suffocating him.

Sweat mixed with blood slid down his cheeks and dripped into the dust, being absorbed instantly without leaving any trace. His eyes widened, full of fear and disbelief, his lips trembled slightly, and he finally squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "You lunatic, do you really not care about Xiao Lianzhu's life or death? She is the person closest to you!"

In his words, there was not only extreme shock and confusion about Ling Xiao's behavior, but also a hint of despair and pleading. He couldn't understand why Ling Xiao could be so calm and even cold at such a critical moment of life and death, as if nothing in the world could shake his determination.

He couldn't understand the madman in front of him. Even in this situation, he dared to attack him without any intention of being cautious.

Ling Xiao's gaze was as cold as ice, as if it could penetrate the deepest fear in people's hearts.

He stared at the Second Protector, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with unquestionable firmness:
"If I act rashly, not only will Zhu'er die, I will die too. You can kill Zhu'er, but I promise that after that, you will suffer pain ten thousand times more painful than death. I will make you suffer endlessly for endless years, for generations to come. That kind of pain will definitely be a hundred times more terrible than going to the eighteen levels of hell."

After he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze, and even the wind stopped blowing. Only Ling Xiao's cold words echoed in the space, making people shudder.

When the second guardian heard these words, his body trembled involuntarily. A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver. His eyes were full of disbelief and deep fear. He thought to himself, "This guy is really a lunatic, an absolute lunatic!"

Seeing Ling Xiao's palm slowly gathering spiritual power, obviously preparing to launch another attack, the second guardian's heart was instantly filled with despair. He knew very well that with his own strength, going head-on with this madman in front of him would only lead to his own destruction.

So, he gritted his teeth, forced down the resentment and anger in his heart, and shouted hurriedly: "Okay, I got it! I will return Xiao Lianzhu to you, as long as you let me live, you can leave, right?"

When he said this, the second guardian's voice trembled slightly, revealing a subtle pleading and compromise. His eyes wavered between fear and struggle, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision, but in the end, reason prevailed over impulse, and he chose to save his life.

At this moment, the second guardian's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of helplessness and compromise. He knew very well that the determination and madness revealed in the eyes of the man in front of him were not bluffing.

Every move and every word of Ling Xiao revealed an unquestionable power, which made people believe that he could do anything.

The second protector weighed the pros and cons in his mind. If he handed over Xiao Lianzhu, he might be punished by Hun Wuxu, but at least he could save his own life.

This life was what he cherished most at the moment. If he chose to resist to the end, not only would Huangquan Bulao Mountain be destroyed, but he himself would also die. This was a result he absolutely did not want to see.

"Take me there!" Ling Xiao's voice was calm and powerful, and there was no hesitation in his words, as if he had already seen through the Second Protector's mind. He knew that compromise at this moment was the only way out for the Second Protector, and it was also the best time for him to achieve his goal.

Ling Xiao did not continue his attack. His eyes were always fixed on the second protector, but the fierce murderous intent in his heart had not completely dissipated.

His only goal today was to rescue Xiao Lianzhu and get her out of this dangerous situation. As for other matters, including whether to really forgive the Second Protector, he would make plans after rescuing Xiao Lianzhu.

Under Ling Xiao's gaze, the second guardian slowly stood up. Although his body was still shaking slightly, he tried his best to stay calm. He knew that he had no way out at this moment and could only act according to Ling Xiao's request. (End of this chapter)
