Chapter 13497 The prey becomes the hunter

Although Ling Xiao's voice was faint, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Since he has promised to help the Demon Soul Beast clan rise again, then these powerful Demon Soul Beasts will naturally do their part to help him.

This is a tacit understanding between them, a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. Ling Xiao knows that in this world where the strong are respected, only by unity can they jointly resist foreign enemies and achieve their respective goals.

Of course, Ling Xiao would never let the Demon Soul Beast clan die in vain.

He had his own calculations and arrangements in mind, and he would naturally not let ordinary demon soul beasts take action to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. However, Lie Yong, Wen Zu, and Lie Zu were the best among the demon soul beasts, and their strength was strong enough to play a huge role at the critical moment.

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Liezu was the first to stand up. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Demon Lord. Since we have decided to follow you, we will do our best to help you solve your problems." His tone was sincere and firm, and his eyes were shining with trust and respect for Ling Xiao.

Lie Yong and Wen Zu also nodded in agreement, their eyes also full of expectations and trust in Ling Xiao. In this crisis-ridden moment, they are willing to fight side by side with Ling Xiao and face the upcoming challenges together.

"That's good!" Ling Xiao sneered, his eyes revealing a bit of sharpness and disdain. He knew that the words of the old fox Liezu might not be sincere, but he didn't care.

In Ling Xiao's opinion, as long as Lie Zu is willing to stand on his side at this moment and contribute to the future of the Demon Soul Beast, that is enough. After all, in this world full of crises, sometimes interests and positions are far more reliable than words.

"We are outnumbered and cannot be surrounded by the enemy, so the best strategy is to distract their attention and defeat them one by one." Ling Xiao's voice was calm and decisive. He quickly analyzed the current situation and gave a countermeasure.

After saying that, Ling Xiao put away the airship without hesitation. The entire ship shrank rapidly in the void, and finally turned into a faint light and merged into his body. His figure flashed, and he disappeared into the vast void like a ghost.

Although the airship has an incredibly fast speed, it has become a conspicuous target in such a dangerous situation.

Once discovered, it would be difficult to escape the enemy's pursuit and siege. In contrast, Ling Xiao's actions were more flexible and stealthy. Although he might be slightly inferior in speed, he was able to use his body movements and skills to cleverly avoid the enemy's sight and attack.

What's more, since obtaining the Mist Cloak, Ling Xiao's concealment ability has been greatly improved.

This magical cloak seemed to be able to merge him with the void, allowing him to easily avoid the enemy's perception and tracking. In this vast void, Ling Xiao was like a cheetah wandering in the darkness, quietly waiting for the appearance of prey.

At a certain moment, Ling Xiao quietly came to a hidden hillside, where the lush vegetation provided him with an excellent cover. He quietly lay in the grass, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning the surrounding environment, looking for possible clues and opportunities.

In his field of vision, a man in black slowly walked into his sight. The man was tall and slender, with a stern face, but at this moment his expression looked a little bad, with a frown on his face, as if he was troubled by something.

"What's going on? That guy disappeared out of thin air. He's so cunning!" The man whispered to himself, his tone full of anger and helplessness.

However, he quickly cheered up, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, "However, no matter where he escapes to, he will eventually enter the Zhaixing Tower. As long as I guard the road to the Zhaixing Tower, he will not be able to escape even if he has wings!"

Thinking of this, the man turned around and was about to leave, preparing to head to the next possible interception point. However, at this critical moment, his expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed some terrifying existence. He subconsciously raised his hand and punched a certain empty corner beside him.

Bang!
With a loud bang, the fist wind and some invisible force collided violently in the air, causing circles of ripples visible to the naked eye. The man's body swayed and he almost lost his balance. He widened his eyes and looked in that direction with an incredible look on his face, "It's you! You didn't run away!"

At this time, Ling Xiao slowly walked out of the bushes, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were full of coldness and determination. The long sword in his hand flashed coldly in the sun, as if he was ready for the next battle at any time.

The man's face instantly turned ugly when he saw this. He never expected that he would be attacked by this seemingly weak prey. Fortunately, he had a higher level of cultivation and stronger strength, otherwise he would have died if he had been attacked by this kid.

Immediately, a ferocious look appeared on the face of the man in black. He gritted his teeth and said, "How arrogant you are, kid! I thought that if you hid yourself, I wouldn't be able to find you and you would be safe. I didn't expect that you would dare to show up and take the initiative to assassinate me. This is simply courting death!"

After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards Ling Xiao like a ghost, the sharp blade in his hand flashing with cold light, as if he wanted to cut Ling Xiao in half.

However, at this critical moment, a huge hand suddenly stretched out from the void and grabbed the man in black. The man's face instantly became extremely terrified, and he widened his eyes as if he had seen something incredible.

"Humph, I'm not being arrogant." Ling Xiao looked at the man coldly, with a mocking smile on his face, "I'm just sure I can kill you."

The moment the man was grabbed by the giant hand, Ling Xiao launched another attack. The Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in his hand was like a black lightning, slashing across the man's throat. The man's blood and energy were instantly devoured, his body began to shrivel, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He could not accept the fact that he was hunted by the young man who was once regarded as prey. His eyes were full of reluctance and anger, but everything was irreversible.

"go!"

After killing the man in black, Ling Xiao did not stop for a moment. He quickly called out to Liezu who had just helped him.

Lie Zu nodded, with a hint of approval and vigilance in his eyes. Ling Xiao activated the Mist Hiding Cloak again, and the mysterious cloak instantly enveloped him and Lie Zu. The aura and figures of the two seemed to merge into the void and disappeared, leaving only a faint mist lingering in place.

Perhaps the fierce battle here attracted the attention of the people around, and before long, several people hurriedly gathered here. (End of this chapter)
