Chapter 13544 Underestimating the greed and viciousness of human nature

The woman stood in the distance, looking at the deep pit, with a smug grin on her face: "This treasure was originally used to deal with mid-level Bao Yuan Realm warriors, it is extremely precious. Now it is a bit of a waste to use it on you. But forget it, as long as it can save your life. You, just stay here obediently!"

She walked cautiously towards the location where Ling Xiao was, with a hint of hesitation and vigilance in her steps. Her eyes, as sharp as an eagle's, searched everywhere, trying to find the legendary Demon Lord Black Sky Sword in Ling Xiao's "corpse" that had been blown to pieces.

Her heart beat faster, and every beat seemed to express her desire for the treasure.

However, when she took a step forward and prepared to explore further, suddenly, the whole world seemed to stop and she froze in place.

The scene before her eyes was like a broken mirror, shattering into pieces, replaced by a cold light. It was Ling Xiao's knife, silently crossing her neck, cold and deadly.

The woman's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She looked around and found that the deep pit and Ling Xiao's body that she had thought were there were no longer there. Instead, there was an intact piece of ground and Ling Xiao's intact figure. At this moment, she seemed to wake up from a nightmare, her heart filled with fear and confusion.

"Illusion! You actually know illusion!" The woman was horrified, her voice trembling slightly, which was the fear of the unknown power and the doubt of her own judgment.

Ling Xiao smiled lightly, with a hint of teasing and confidence in his smile. He shook his head, denying the woman's guess: "Illusion? No, no, no, I don't know how to use it yet. But I have a friend who can use it."

As he spoke, he looked at Ahri beside him, his eyes full of gratitude. Ahri was blinking her big eyes, and seemed to be happy to be able to help Ling Xiao.

Although Ling Xiao was able to avoid the woman's sneak attack with his keen intuition and extraordinary skills, if the woman really used the shocking power of the explosion as a cover to escape, he knew in his heart that he might really lose his target in the chaos and smoke.

After all, in such an environment, tracking an enemy who deliberately hides his whereabouts is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, he made a quick decision and asked Ahri beside him to help him perform his amazing illusion. Ahri, this clever little fox, not only possessed extraordinary wisdom, but also had an amazing talent in illusion.

Under Ling Xiao's guidance, it lightly waved its six glittering tails, each of which seemed to contain endless power and mystery.

The light of the illusion instantly enveloped the surroundings, making the woman mistakenly believe that her sneak attack had been successful. In fact, Ling Xiao was not even hurt, and the sneak attack was cleverly resolved before it actually began.

Mentioning Tongtong, the little girl who had to leave temporarily to save him, Ling Xiao felt a complex mixture of warmth and regret. But fortunately, the little fox, Ahri, was gradually showing his powerful talent for illusion and became his new right-hand man.

Looking at Ahri's six tails swaying gently in the wind, Ling Xiao couldn't help but recall how it looked when it first showed three tails. It looked so immature at that time, but now it has grown to this point, and the number of tails has doubled. This is not only a symbol of strength, but also a testimony to their common experience of wind and rain and support for each other.

Ling Xiao thought to himself, Ahri's talent for illusion is so outstanding, given time, its ability will be further improved, the number of tails may continue to increase, and the illusion will become more powerful. Such a partner is worth his efforts to cultivate and cherish.

"I'm telling you, I'm really telling you, I won't play tricks this time..." The woman's voice was filled with anxiety and fear, as if every word was squeezed out from the deepest part of her heart.
"I don't know our leader, actually. When we received orders, we could only see his back. He was as mysterious as a ghost. I only know that he was a man with a deep voice that sounded emotionless... Yes... By the way, he also gave us an extremely cruel order to secretly eliminate Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu so that you would completely fall out with Zhengqitang and be isolated and helpless from then on..."

The woman spoke faster and faster, as if she was racing against time, fearing that she would lose the chance to speak in the next second. Her eyes flashed with despair and the desire to survive, a struggle on the edge of life and death, which made people feel pity.

Ling Xiao's expression turned extremely ugly the moment he heard these words, and his eyes flashed with a mixture of disbelief and anger. He didn't expect these people to be so cruel and crazy that they would not hesitate to attack in a place like Zhaixing Tower where there are dense crowds of people and many experts in order to achieve their goals.

It seems that this Zhaixing Tower, which was once regarded as a pure land in the martial arts world, is no longer safe.

Ling Xiao's heart was in turmoil. He knew that if Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu met with an accident, he would be furious and go to Zhengqitang to ask for an explanation. The worst result would be that both sides would fight to the point of being defeated, allowing those conspirators hiding in the dark to reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "It's so fucking cruel. These people would even resort to such despicable means to achieve their goals." There was a flash of icy coldness in his eyes, which was a deep hatred for the greed and viciousness of human nature.

puff!
With a crisp sound of a knife, Ling Xiao raised his knife and the long-haired woman's life was instantly extinguished. He did not hesitate or hesitate at all, because in this world where the strong prey on the weak, mercy will often only become a shackle that binds oneself.

He turned around and walked towards the Zhaixing Tower with big strides, each step seeming so firm and powerful.

In his mind, some plans have quietly changed. Originally, he planned to concentrate on training in the Zhaixing Tower, using the spiritual energy and resources here to continuously improve his strength.

At the same time, he was also secretly searching for the two secondary clones of the Demon King, hoping to take this opportunity to completely summon the Demon King and add some help to his road to revenge.

However, it now seems that all these beautiful ideas have been ruthlessly shattered by reality.

He underestimated the greed and viciousness of human nature, and he did not expect that the appeal of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword would be so great that some people were willing to risk ruining their reputation to take it for themselves.

This greed and persistence made Ling Xiao feel angry and helpless. He knew that he had to speed up the pace of his plan, otherwise, what awaited him would be a more cruel reality and irreversible consequences.
