Chapter 13223 Suzaku Guardian Statue
"I will definitely go. It would be a shame not to take such a good thing." There was an unquestionable determination in Ling Xiao's smile, and his eyes flashed with desire and determination for the Demon Yuan Fruit.
He knew that this opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he missed it, he might never have another chance to get such a precious treasure.
Hua Shan looked at Ling Xiao's determined eyes and knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so she could only sigh helplessly.
"Okay, this is for you." As she said that, she took out an exquisite little box from her arms and gently opened it. Inside lay a small Vermilion Bird sculpture quietly.
The sculpture was as red as fire, as if it was condensed from the purest flame. There was a faint flickering of fire on it, emitting a faint warmth, giving people a sense of security.
"This is a protective magic weapon my family gave me. It is called the 'Suzaku Protective Statue'. It can protect you from worries at critical moments."
There was a hint of reluctance and expectation in Hua Shan's voice. She knew how precious this magic weapon was, but for Ling Xiao's safety, she took it out without hesitation, "But I don't know how effective it is in the Black Swamp. However, with it, your safety should be greatly improved."
Ling Xiao took the Suzaku amulet and examined it carefully. He could feel the powerful force contained in this magic weapon, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He looked up at Hua Shan, his eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you, Hua Shan. With this magic weapon, I am more confident." His words were full of sincerity and gratitude, as if he was ready to meet the upcoming challenge.
"I can't give you the treasure that Sister Hua wants to give you, but I have a thunder bomb here. It's very powerful. Even if it can't kill a being in the Heaven Realm, it can still blow it away, which can give you time to escape."
There was a hint of apology and reluctance in Bai Sha's eyes. Obviously, he also knew how precious the Demon Yuan Fruit was, but since he had already decided to give it away, he was unwilling to hesitate any longer.
He slowly took out a small ball from his arms that was flashing with faint blue light. Electric light was flowing on the surface of the ball, as if it contained the power of thunder. It was exactly the thunder bomb he mentioned.
He gently handed the small ball to Ling Xiao, and said solemnly: "This thunder bomb is something I accidentally found during an expedition. It is very powerful. Although it is not enough to shake a strong man in the Heaven Realm to death, it is enough to let you escape from a powerful enemy and save your life in a critical moment."
Ling Xiao looked at the small ball in front of him that exuded a dangerous aura, and a warm current surged in his heart. He understood that this was not just a simple thunder bomb, but also a trust and care from Bai Sha for him.
So, he took the ball without hesitation, his gratitude overflowing with words: "Thank you very much, then you're welcome. I, Ling Xiao, will remember this friendship in my heart."
After saying that, Ling Xiao carefully put the thunder bomb into his arms, as if it was a priceless treasure. He looked up at Hua Shan and Bai Sha, his eyes flashing with determination: "You two stay outside, if there is any disturbance, be sure to contact me in time. I will be careful when I go to the depths of the Black Swamp and live up to your trust."
Hua Shan frowned slightly when she heard this, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that the Black Swamp was full of dangers, and even warriors like them who had good cultivation did not dare to set foot in it easily.
But she also understood that Ling Xiao's trip was to find the elixir to save his senior brother. She could not help but admire his determination and courage.
So, she gently warned: "Be careful, such treasures are either reserved by someone or guarded by powerful monsters. Although we cannot enter the Black Swamp, there are still capable people in the Soul Clan, and they may also covet these treasures. You must be cautious on this trip, and safety comes first."
Bai Sha also nodded, his expression solemn: "Ling Xiao, take care. We will keep an eye on you outside and notify you immediately if anything happens."
In that dark and deep environment, Ling Xiao slowly closed his eyes, as if connected to some mysterious power between heaven and earth. His Tai Chi eyes quietly opened, and circles of subtle halos spread around his eyes, like the softest stars in the night sky, penetrating the darkness and scanning everything around him.
However, even such a pair of eyes that could see through everything and perceive the subtleties could not catch any signs of abnormality at the edge of the black swamp. The surroundings were still dead silent and desolate, and nothing was found!
However, he agreed with Hua Shan's words. If this kind of treasure had not grown in a dangerous place like the Black Swamp, it would have been taken away by someone long ago.
Even though it is still lying quietly in this corner forgotten by the world, it is estimated that it has aroused the covetousness of some powerful people a long time ago, but due to various reasons, no one has been able to succeed.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little alert. It is better to be careful with such treasures. If you are not careful, you may fall into an irretrievable situation.
He gently patted Hua Shan beside him and whispered a few words, his tone full of unquestionable firmness and calmness. Then, he took a deep breath, as if making final preparations, and with a flick of his body, he jumped directly into the heart-pounding black swamp like a light swallow.
The moment Ling Xiao stepped into the swamp, gusts of cold and biting breath hit him in the face, and along with these breaths, there were countless madly surging demonic intentions. They were like wild beasts that had been imprisoned for a long time and finally found an exit to be released, and they all pounced towards Ling Xiao's body.
If it were an ordinary warrior, facing such a surging demonic power, he would have probably lost his mind and completely lost his reason, but Ling Xiao was an exception.
Not only is he a cultivator of magic with profound skills, he also possesses an extremely powerful soul force. With this force, he is able to remain calm and sober even when facing such terrifying demonic intent.
Those evil thoughts surged into his sea of soul like a tide, attempting to erode his will. However, they had never expected that Ling Xiao's sea of soul was like a vast and boundless universe, deep and vast. Once these evil thoughts entered, it was like a drop in the ocean. Not only did they not cause any harm, but they were swallowed up one by one by Ling Xiao's powerful soul power and turned into nutrients to nourish his soul.
Around Ling Xiao, as he continued to absorb the evil spirit around him, thick black mist swirled up, like a circling black dragon, covering him with a layer of mysterious battle robe.
His demon phantom, nourished by this power, became more and more powerful. Every texture was clearly discernible, and every light and shadow contained the power to destroy the world. The form was so real that it seemed to have crossed the boundary between illusion and reality and became a truly tangible existence. (End of this chapter)
