Chapter 13448 Conflict
When Ling Xiao stepped within a hundred meters, the female earth spirit did not launch an attack as she did before. Instead, she looked at him with contempt, as if mocking his arrogance.

The eyes of the female earth spirit were full of disdain and provocation. She seemed to be saying, "Hmph, with all your ability, you still want to challenge me?" However, Ling Xiao seemed not to see her provocation. He just stood there quietly, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his whole body exuded an indescribable calmness and confidence.

At this moment, Ling Xiao's state of mind seemed to have reached a new height. He was no longer shaken by the provocations from the outside world, but focused on his own heart, feeling the power of the sword in his hand, and preparing for the next battle.

Ling Xiao's state of mind was like the water in a deep pool, calm and peaceful. Facing the provocation and attack of the earth spirit, he did not show the slightest anger.

He knew very well that on the battlefield, emotional fluctuations were often a fatal weakness. Once people were furious, they would easily lose their composure and ignore those crucial details and opportunities.

With steady steps, he approached the menacing earth spirit step by step until they were only ten meters apart.

At this moment of tense confrontation, the earth spirit suddenly moved. A sharp sword flashing with cold light appeared in its hand. The tip of the sword lightly tapped, instantly cutting through the air, bringing up a heart-pounding cold light.

"So domineering! What a fast sword!" Ling Xiao secretly admired in his heart, and his body reacted almost at the same time.

He held the God-Slaying Sword tightly in his left hand, with the tip of the sword slightly raised, as if echoing the tip of the Earth Spirit's sword, forming a delicate balance. In the first confrontation, he chose to use sword against sword. This was a tit-for-tat contest, and every slight deviation in strength could determine the outcome.

However, the result of the confrontation was not what Ling Xiao had hoped for. Although he tried his best, the earth spirit's strength and defense were too amazing. The moment the swords touched, a huge force came, and Ling Xiao felt his arms tingling, and he stumbled back involuntarily.

At this critical moment, Ling Xiao did not panic. He knew that a head-on confrontation was not the best strategy and he had to find the weakness of the earth spirit. So, while retreating, he swung his right hand violently, and the bloodthirsty knife drew a brilliant blood-red blade light, like a meteor across the night sky, dazzling and deadly.

This blade light was not only another attack on the Earth Spirit, but also a test for him to find the opponent's weakness. Ling Xiao understood that although the Earth Spirit's defense was strong, everything in the world had weaknesses. As long as he could find that key point, he would have a chance to turn the tide of the battle.

However, the result was not as smooth and satisfactory as Ling Xiao had wished.

This sharp blade, with all his strength and determination, slashed towards the female earth spirit's body. The blade drew a brilliant track in the air, like the most dazzling meteor in the night sky, flashing a frightening light.

However, when it finally came into contact with the female earth spirit, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and only barely left a shallow mark on the female earth spirit's seemingly soft but actually tough body.

This mark is as thin as a hair, almost imperceptible, and can't even be called a real "damage". It is more like ripples left by the wind blowing across the water, fleeting and leaving no trace.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao's brows involuntarily knitted slightly, and a trace of surprise and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He admitted that in terms of pure strength, he might not be as good as this mysterious female earth spirit.

But who is Ling Xiao? He is not only a human being, but also a strong man who has experienced many battles and has rich combat experience. Countless battles on the brink of life and death have already honed his indomitable will and extraordinary combat wisdom.

He firmly believed that even though he was slightly inferior in strength, with his rich combat experience and keen insight, he should be able to find the opponent's flaws and win the battle.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

He found that he couldn't even break through the opponent's defense, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to him. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration in his heart, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making him feel suffocated.

This is a big problem! Ling Xiao knows that strength and wisdom are equally important on the battlefield. But at this moment, he feels unprecedented helplessness and embarrassment.

If he were facing a real warrior, he might choose to use the soul technique he is good at to directly attack the opponent's soul and win the battle.

However, the female earth spirit in front of him was a soulless being, and his soul skills could not play any role here at all. It was like a punch into the air, leaving only endless emptiness and helplessness.

If the opponent you encounter is also so powerful and unpredictable, how should you deal with it to ensure that the balance of victory does not tilt?

He stood there, his figure upright, like a solitary peak, quietly thinking about every battle in the past, trying to catch a glimmer of light that could guide him forward from those fierce moments of confrontation, from the brink of victory and defeat.

His eyes were sometimes solemn, sometimes flickering, as if he was having a silent conversation with his past self, searching for that crucial revelation.

The female earth spirit also remained motionless and did not launch any attacks. Her figure was looming in the dimness, like an ancient statue, standing quietly, as if silently waiting for Ling Xiao's next move.

There was a subtle sense of tension in the air, as if even time had stopped at this moment.

"To deal with evil spirits, you should use the same method to deal with evil spirits." Just as Ling Xiao fell into deep thought, the low and majestic voice of the Demon King suddenly sounded from the magic needle space, like a clear spring, instantly extinguishing the anxiety and confusion in his heart.

Ling Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and asked anxiously: "What method?" There was an imperceptible tremor in his voice, which was awe of the unknown challenge and desire for victory.

The voice of the Demon King sounded again, with a faint smile: "In addition to containing demonic energy, the essence of the Demon is the condensation of the power of the five elements. Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which complement and restrain each other, constitute the foundation of this world.

The best way to deal with evil spirits is to use the restraint relationship between elements. Metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal. This is the unchanging law of heaven and earth. If you use the power of wood to deal with earth spirits, you will naturally be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and win easily. "

The words of the Demon King were like the brightest stars in the night sky, pointing the way for Ling Xiao.

Sometimes, Ling Xiao still feels very emotional. No matter how many lives he has experienced, no matter how much he has learned, the saying "there is always a teacher among three people" is still useful. It is extremely lucky to have a senior who can guide him.
