Chapter 13529: Can’t beat this?
Elder Xuan Yue's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment. She clenched her teeth and waved the measuring ruler in her hand with all her strength. Every swing was accompanied by the roar of her vital energy, and she finally blocked all these dense attacks like raindrops.

But even so, she was shocked by this powerful force and retreated again and again. The ground beneath her feet kept cracking under her step, and every step seemed to be stepping on a broken world.

At this moment, a bright streak of blood oozed from the corner of Elder Xuan Yue's mouth. That was the price she paid for her desperate resistance. Her eyes flashed with unyielding and anger, which was the regret for her own mistakes and the shock of Ling Xiao's strength.

At this moment, Elder Xuan Yue was completely furious. As one of the eight elders of the Righteousness Hall, she had fought countless battles in her life, but she had never been in such an embarrassing moment.

She originally thought that relying on 20% to 30% of her power would be enough to suppress Ling Xiao, but she didn't expect that this young man actually had such a deep foundation and amazing means. Her underestimation of the enemy made her pay a heavy price.

Elder Xuan Yue's breathing became rapid and heavy, her eyes were like burning flames, staring at Ling Xiao in front of her.

She knew that the battle had just begun and the real battle was still to come. She had to adjust her mentality and go all out to save herself from this defeat.

She suddenly burst out with all her strength, like a giant beast awakening, and the vitality in her body surged like a river bursting its banks.

He released all his strength without reservation, and the measuring stick in his hand suddenly turned into a huge ruler. It was so huge that even the dazzling sunlight was dimmed by it.

The ruler, with a destructive force, smashed towards Ling Xiao, as if it was going to crush him along with the entire space.

At this moment, Ling Xiao felt an unprecedented huge pressure. His body seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible and terrifying aura, and even dodging became extremely difficult, as if the whole world was frozen at this moment.

However, there was no panic in Ling Xiao's eyes, instead there was a gleam of excitement.

"Interesting!" He smiled slightly, with a playful arc on the corner of his mouth. Then, his body seemed to turn into a phantom, instantly releasing hundreds of clones, each of which exuded the same aura and power as his original body.

These clones surged towards the giant measuring ruler like a tide and simultaneously launched fierce attacks, slashing at the ruler that covered the sky and the sun.

bang bang bang...

A series of loud noises echoed in the air, and every collision seemed like a star falling. Ling Xiao's clones rushed forward like moths to a flame, consuming more than 200 clones before he barely blocked Elder Xuan Yue's full-strength attack.

The tiny bits of light left behind after the clones dissipated were like stars in the night sky, embellishing the battle sky.

Elder Xuan Yue's expression turned as gloomy as water at this moment.

She never expected that she could only barely suppress Ling Xiao with her full strength. This made her feel unprecedented frustration and anger, and her face could no longer find a trace of her usual calmness and composure.

However, despite her burning anger, Elder Xuan Yue did not dare to attack again easily, because she knew very well that she was no longer sure of defeating the young man in front of her. The strength and means displayed by Ling Xiao had far exceeded her expectations and imagination.

If Elder Xuan Yue stopped now, she might be able to save some face and let others think that she was unwilling to bully the weak and deliberately left Ling Xiao a way out. After all, as an elder, it was always not so glorious to attack the younger generation.

However, if she continued to pester him, and accidentally lost, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would she lose face, but the reputation of the entire Zhengqitang would also be severely damaged, becoming a laughing stock in the martial arts world.

One of the eight elders of Zhengqitang was actually defeated by a disciple of the Demon Tower. If such news were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar and bring endless troubles to Zhengqitang.

She knew very well that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders and could not put Zhengqitang in danger because of a momentary impulse.

She couldn't lose, not only for her own dignity, but also for the glory of Zhengqitang. Her eyes flashed with determination, as if telling the world that she would never give up easily.

In the distance, Ling Xiao quietly observed all this. He was secretly glad that Elder Xuan Yue did not continue to attack.

He knew that the opponent was not weak. If he wanted to kill him by force, he would have to reveal his trump card, which he did not want to see. After all, his purpose today was not to kill people, but to meet Xiao Lianzhu, Ling Bi and others peacefully.

Ling Xiao's eyes revealed a bit of tenderness and expectation. He did not want the battle to continue. If possible, he would rather resolve it in a peaceful way.

Even if he couldn't do so, he hoped to leave here safely and avoid unnecessary casualties and disputes.

At this moment, a familiar and slightly doubtful voice suddenly came from the blue sky and gently fell into everyone's ears, "Boss?" The emotions contained in this voice were complex, with both surprise and a hint of uncertainty.

Ling Xiao's body suddenly paused, as if he was fixed by an invisible force. He turned around quickly, his eyes sharp, and looked eagerly for the source of the sound.

When his sight finally fixed on that familiar figure, he was stunned for a moment, with a gleam of disbelief in his eyes.

The person who came was none other than Meng Haoqing!

The fierce general who ranked second among the thirteen demon generals under Ling Xiao, second only to Ling Bi. Meng Haoqing's figure looked particularly tall in the sun, with knotted muscles and an unyielding fighting spirit.

Although his face looked a little haggard due to past sufferings, his eyes were still bright, sparkling with endless desire for battle.

Thinking back to Meng Haoqing's past, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a complex emotion. Meng Haoqing had his body forcibly transformed due to an accident. This was originally a disaster, but he didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise, which stimulated his physical potential unprecedentedly.

Although this incident caused his IQ to regress severely and even made him a little stupid, it also made him a real martial arts fanatic, and his understanding and talent in martial arts reached an astonishing level.

Behind Meng Haoqing, there were several people following closely, and their figures were also familiar and friendly. The one walking in front was Bai Sha, the warrior who was always silent but extremely ruthless. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he was always alert to the movements around him.

Following closely behind him was Zhang Ruochen, a young man with an elegant demeanor yet strong resolve.
