Chapter 13423 Jiang Xiruo vs. High Priest

The eyes of the high priest revealed an unquestionable determination, which made the four high priests dare not resist at all.

The fourth chief priest's face turned pale, he lowered his head, and dared not say anything. When he turned around, he secretly gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he also knew that this was not the time to argue.

Although he felt depressed after being injured by Jiang Xiruo, fortunately the injury was not serious. With his cultivation, he should be able to recover soon. He quickly found a secluded corner and began to heal his wounds. He secretly vowed in his heart that he must recover his strength as soon as possible and complete the task assigned by the high priest.

The high priest glanced at Ling Xiao coldly, his eyes full of scrutiny and disdain.

Then, his eyes fell on Jiang Xiruo again, and his tone was filled with mixed emotions: "Like father, like son, your son is as extraordinary as you are. It's a pity that he fell into the devil's way. This is an unforgivable crime and he has to be killed. I advise you to stop caring about him, so as not to bring trouble upon yourself."

Jiang Xiruo sneered, and her figure suddenly disappeared like a ghost, leaving only a faint afterimage swaying in the air. Not far away, the face of the chief priest was still as calm as water, as if nothing in the outside world could touch the waves in his heart.

He slowly raised his finger and pointed out. The fingertip seemed to contain infinite power, causing the air around him to freeze.

Boom! With a loud noise, the surrounding space seemed to be shaken by an invisible force and began to tremble violently. Then, Jiang Xiruo's figure suddenly returned to her original position, but her eyes became sharper, as if she had seen through her opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

The next moment, she disappeared again, accompanied by a sharp tearing sound, and a dazzling sword light streaked across the sky like a meteor, tearing through the void and slashing straight towards the high priest!
As the sword swung down, the space seemed to become fragile, like paper, and was easily torn into pieces by the sword. Wherever the sword passed, cracks in the space crisscrossed, like a broken scroll.

However, facing this thunderous blow, the high priest still maintained an expressionless look. He raised his hand and waved it, and a black vortex suddenly condensed in front of him, swallowing up everything around it like an abyss.

The vortex contained endless darkness and destructive power, as if it could draw all things in the world into it, leaving them with no chance of recovery.

Boom! When Jiang Xiruo's sword fell and collided with the black vortex, an indescribable force instantly erupted. The sword light and the vortex tore and collided with each other, making a deafening roar.

Under the impact of this force, Jiang Xiruo's figure involuntarily retreated a hundred meters away, and her face turned pale.

Obviously, this was a real opponent. The strength of the chief priest was obviously much stronger than the four chief priests, and was far stronger than Jiang Xiruo had expected.

Each of his moves contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and could not be underestimated. Although Jiang Xiruo was also a strong man, he was still slightly inferior to the chief priest.

At this moment, the high priest suddenly took a step forward, and this step seemed to cross the boundaries of time and space. A suffocating force instantly enveloped Jiang Xiruo. This force was like an invisible giant net, binding her tightly and making her movements slow and heavy.

Jiang Xiruo's face turned cold, and a gleam of unyielding light flashed in her eyes. She tightly grasped the long sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword drew a series of brilliant trajectories in the air, slashing continuously. Every time she swung the sword, the void continued to shatter, as if to cut off the power that bound her one by one.

Boom boom... Horrible roars sounded one after another, shaking the surrounding space. However, under this continuous attack, Jiang Xiruo retreated again and again, her figure became smaller and smaller in the torrent of power, and she was obviously suppressed by the powerful force of the high priest.

At this critical moment, the high priest's face suddenly turned cold, and he raised his hand and clapped his hands behind him. The action seemed casual, but it contained endless majesty and power. With this clapping, the air seemed to be frozen, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

As everyone looked on in astonishment, a sword actually appeared there, a sword condensed from pure gold elements.

This sword emits a dazzling light, and golden lines flow on the blade, like an alien object, emitting a frightening aura. Its attack speed is extremely fast, and the timing of its appearance is just right.

However, facing this sudden attack, the high priest just smiled faintly, and his palm slapped forward with endless majesty and power.

The moment the golden sword light collided with the palm, it was as if it encountered an insurmountable barrier. In an instant, it shattered into golden light spots all over the sky and dissipated into the air.

In the distance, Ling Xiao saw this scene and his face suddenly darkened. A trace of solemnity and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that his current combat power was equivalent to the eighth level of the Condensation Realm, which was already outstanding among his peers. But even so, he was unable to pose any substantial threat to the high priest under the sneak attack.

The old guy's strength was unfathomable. Every movement and every attack he made revealed endless majesty and power, which made Ling Xiao feel powerless.

The high priest's gaze was like a cold blade, piercing through the crowd and staring directly at Ling Xiao. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, admiration for Ling Xiao's talent, but also fear of his cunning and calmness.

He spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible chill in his voice: "Among the younger generation, you are indeed one of the best. Not only are you extremely talented, but more importantly, you have the cunning and calmness that ordinary geniuses don't have. However, you deserve to be killed because your existence is a potential threat to some people."

As he spoke, the high priest turned his gaze to Jiang Xiruo, and a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes.

He said calmly, "Your strength also surprised me. I didn't expect that there was a master like you hidden in this Demon Suppression Mansion. However, if you want to protect this Demon Suppression Mansion and Ling Xiao by yourself, I'm afraid it's not enough. Although I'm old, I'm still more than enough to deal with you."

The high priest's words revealed an unquestionable confidence and dominance, as if he had already won and everything was under his control.

As the voice fell, the high priest gently flicked his right hand forward. This flick seemed understated, but it contained infinite power.

As he waved his fingers, the space around Jiang Xiruo suddenly undulated like waves, as if stirred by an invisible force, becoming distorted and chaotic.

Jiang Xiruo's face suddenly changed when she saw this. She knew very well that this was one of the High Priest's killer moves, and it was incredibly powerful. (End of this chapter)
