Chapter 13247 Collecting the Corpse

Faced with the powerful oppression from the masked man and the two Rakshasa demons, the courage in Hua Shan and the others seemed to dissipate bit by bit, and even their will to fight became blurred.

In such a battle, they really became a burden. Not only could they not provide any help to Ling Xiao, but they might even become a burden to him.

At this moment, they felt unprecedented frustration and powerlessness. Their own strength was too weak, and they didn't even have the courage to stand beside Ling Xiao and face the enemy together. They knew very well that they had become spectators of this battle, not participants.

This feeling of powerlessness was like a huge rock pressing on their hearts, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"Haha, do you think I don't exist?" The masked young man sneered, his voice carrying a hint of amusement and disdain, as if in their eyes, this group of people were nothing more than ants.

His eyes were cold, like the chill wind in winter, chilling people's hearts. "Today, no one can leave." His tone was firm, full of unquestionable dominance, as if the whole world was under his control.

The next moment, he raised his hand to kill Hua Shan and the others. The action was swift and decisive, as if everything was within his expectations, without the slightest hesitation or delay.

However, at this critical moment, his face changed drastically, and his figure dodged like a ghost. A sharp cold light passed through his neck, leaving a long blood mark, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.

No one saw how Ling Xiao made his move.

His movements were so fast and so stealthy that it was as if they had never existed, leaving only the frightening cold light and the bloodstains on the neck of the masked young man. At this moment, everyone was stunned, their eyes fixed on Ling Xiao, their hearts filled with shock and awe.

The masked young man had an unsightly expression, with a flash of anger and unwillingness in his eyes: "I still underestimated you. Not only are you qualified to fight with me, you are even qualified to make me take you seriously." His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of unwillingness and provocation.

"You talk too much nonsense." Ling Xiao glanced at the masked young man coldly. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if the other party was just an insignificant stranger.

Then, he turned to Hua Shan and said, "Why don't you leave? Do you want your brothers' bodies to be exposed in the wilderness and eaten by wild beasts?" His tone was calm and firm, and every word was full of power, as if urging Hua Shan to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Follow me!" Hua Shan's voice was filled with unquestionable firmness. She knew very well that the situation was critical and she had to make a decision quickly.

Her eyes swept across the crowd, revealing a kind of determination and courage, as if telling everyone that she would lead them out of this battlefield full of dangers.

Hua Shan did not insist on confronting the three Soul Clan warriors head-on. She understood and reason told her that she should listen to Ling Xiao's advice.

Each of the three Soul Clan warriors before them exuded a frightening aura, and it was obvious that they were not someone they could deal with easily.

Even the top demons in Master Qi’s stronghold suffered at the hands of this group of people, and they had no hope of competing with them.

Although she was filled with resentment and anger, Hua Shan knew that this was a fact that could not be changed. She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then called everyone and began to collect the bodies of her companions.

Her movements were gentle and skillful, as if she was bidding a final farewell to these deceased comrades.

Everyone also acted quickly, knowing that every minute and every second was crucial at this moment. They had to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible and not cause any trouble for Ling Xiao.

Under Hua Shan's leadership, they quickly and orderly collected the bodies of their companions, then turned around and left. Each step seemed so heavy, after all, they were escaping, and they were really unwilling to do so.

When they were far away and sure that they were out of the battlefield's range, Hua Shan finally slowed down her pace. She slowly turned around and looked at the brothers Liu Bao and Liu Hu with a firm gaze.

There was a hint of unquestionable determination in her voice: "You two take the body back. I will contact Wang Zhenshou and ask him to send an expert to handle the follow-up matters."

Liu Hu frowned slightly when he heard that. He seemed unwilling to leave just like that: "Don't you want to go together?" There was a hint of worry in his tone. Obviously, he felt very uneasy about Ling Xiao facing those three powerful Soul Clan warriors alone.

Hua Shan understood Liu Hu's concerns, but she had more far-reaching considerations in her mind.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing a kind of determination: "Although Brother Ling is strong, it is difficult for him to win against three people alone. We must leave some people behind. If he is defeated, we will risk our lives to help him buy time to escape."

There was a hint of tragedy in her voice, as if she had already prepared for the worst.

However, Liu Hu disagreed with her idea. He shook his head and said firmly: "Then we won't leave either. We'll go together. The body can be placed in the storage ring, so it shouldn't be a problem." His eyes were full of determination. Obviously, he was not willing to abandon Ling Xiao and escape alone.

Liu Bao also stood up, his voice was equally firm: "Yes, we all came here together, so let's go back together alive. We can't abandon any of our brothers. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must face it together."

"..."

After a moment of silence, a look of determination and worry flashed across Hua Shan's face. She took a deep breath, as if she was making some kind of important decision, and then nodded slowly:
"Okay then, but we must hide well and not become a burden to Brother Ling. Cousin, use your talent to keep an eye on the battlefield, and report immediately if Brother Ling is in trouble."

Hua Shan's words were full of unquestionable determination, and also revealed a deep concern for Ling Xiao's safety. She knew very well that in this dangerous battlefield, any negligence could lead to fatal consequences.

"Yes!" Huaguduo nodded immediately after hearing this, with a determined light flashing in her eyes. She slowly closed her eyes, as if she was mobilizing some mysterious power in her body.

The next moment, a clear picture emerged in Huaguduo's mind, which was exactly the situation on the battlefield. She seemed to have become an invisible observer, able to clearly see every move on the battlefield.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely tense. The two Rakshasa demons were about to join forces to deal with Ling Xiao. Their figures moved quickly on the battlefield, releasing bursts of cold aura.

However, at this moment, a masked young man suddenly stood in front of them. His voice was cold and firm: "You guys stay aside and don't let anyone disturb you. Leave this kid to me." (End of this chapter)
