Chapter 13614 It’s time to fight back

"Okay! It's settled!" At this moment, Zhang Meng on the side suddenly shouted and stood up abruptly. His movements were so swift that they caused a small air current that blew up the dust on the ground. He was as sturdy and strong as a towering hill, and his face was flushed red, like a ripe tomato, and seemed to be ignited by a burning fighting spirit.

His eyes were gleaming with an almost crazy excitement, and he shouted loudly: "If we take advantage of the situation, we might be able to get the treasure. If we just sit there and watch, we will really get nothing. I can't swallow this!"

His voice was like the blows of a heavy hammer, echoing continuously in the cave, causing pain in everyone's eardrums and making the atmosphere in the cave even more tense and heated.

The others looked at each other, their eyes full of complex emotions. One person's eyes were full of hesitation, he bit his lips tightly, his teeth almost embedded in his flesh, his hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of his clothes, his fingertips turned white due to the force, the whole person seemed to be caught in a fierce inner struggle;

Someone else frowned slightly, with deep worry in his eyes. He sighed softly, and that sigh seemed to be filled with endless helplessness and worry, as if he was repeatedly weighing the pros and cons of this adventure in his mind.

But after a brief, almost frozen silence, they finally nodded slowly, as if they had made a difficult decision concerning life and death.

At this moment, the wind was howling outside the cave, and the sound was as mournful as the howling of ghosts and wolves, making the weeds at the entrance of the cave rustle, as if they were also restless for the thrilling storm that was about to sweep in, foreshadowing that a bloody storm was about to begin.

After just a few days, this news seemed to have grown a pair of invisible and powerful wings, and spread like wildfire throughout the world at lightning speed.

The most bustling and prosperous teahouse in the city was packed with people sitting in groups of three or five, all with excitement and curiosity on their faces, enthusiastically discussing the mysterious whereabouts of the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword.

Even Ling Xiao, who was in another part of the city, heard this rumor inadvertently. At that time, he was sitting leisurely by the window of an elegant restaurant, his face as calm as water, sipping tea leisurely, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

However, the constant discussions about the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword still attracted his attention. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across his deep eyes, like a fleeting meteor in the night sky. He thought to himself, "Luo Jia's move was quite clever, and he is indeed a shrewd and calculating person."

At the same time, the perceptive Ling Xiao also discovered that many strong men were gathering near the Zhengqi Hall like sharks smelling blood. All of these people were high-level strong men in the Baoyuan Realm. They came from all corners of the country and had different identities and backgrounds. Some were solitary and erratic lone rangers, while others were masters from secret sects.

But at this moment, they all gathered here from all directions for the same tempting goal - the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword. On weekdays, they lived cautiously under the pressure of the two huge monsters, the Star Picking Tower and the Holy Hall, and every step was like walking on thin ice, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

However, faced with a treasure as rare as the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword, which contained endless power and wealth, the greed deep in human nature instantly overwhelmed their reason like a surging tide. In the face of strong desire, fear and reason became vulnerable.

What's more, this time each of them has their own little calculations in mind, and all of them are planning to take advantage of this chaos.

They all knew very well that the more people there were, the more chaotic the scene would be, and in this chaos and disorder, they would have more opportunities to take advantage of the situation. They might even be able to stand out in this fierce and brutal fight and be lucky enough to get the coveted treasure.

At this moment, outside the Zhengqi Hall, the atmosphere was tense and depressing like the dead silence before a storm. The air seemed to be filled with an invisible and pungent smell of gunpowder, as if with just a hint of spark, it would instantly ignite and trigger a war that would shock the world and make ghosts weep.

Some of those strong men gathered in groups of two or three, whispering in low voices, with vigilance and calculation flashing in their eyes; some stood quietly by alone, like a silent iceberg, but their eyes were vigilantly observing every move around them, not missing any details.

Everyone is patiently waiting for the best opportunity, ready to plunge into this dispute full of temptation and danger like a hungry wolf, and fight to the death for the supreme treasure.

"It's time!" Ling Xiao whispered softly. Although the voice was light, it seemed to contain a thousand pounds of power and revealed an unquestionable firm determination.

He stood up slowly, his sleeves fluttering gently in the breeze, and his whole body naturally exuded an innate and compelling kingly aura, as if he was the center of the storm, controlling the fate of everything.

He walked towards Zhengqitang with steady and firm steps, and every step he took was filled with fearless courage and the belief that he would win.

Behind him, closely following were three high-level masters of the Bao Yuan Realm. They were the elite force of the Money Gang, and also the entire family assets of the Money Gang. The three of them looked solemn and dignified, like soldiers about to go to the battlefield, but their eyes revealed their unreserved trust in Ling Xiao and their unwavering following.

Jin Ruoxi resolutely handed them all over to Ling Xiao's command, which was undoubtedly a gamble full of risks and challenges. But Jin Ruoxi firmly believed in Ling Xiao's extraordinary ability. In her opinion, Ling Xiao was like a beacon in the darkness, who could always find a way out in desperate situations.

What's more, these three high-level Baoyuan realm masters are all extremely powerful and have experienced hundreds of battles. They are definitely not ordinary people who can be easily defeated.

Along the way, they were all silent, but silently made final preparations in their hearts for the upcoming brutal battle.

Their shadows were stretched out in the blood-like afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were a group of fearless warriors shouldering mission and glory, about to rush to the battlefield, and heading towards a destiny full of unknowns and challenges.

……

Deep inside the Zhengqi Hall, a secret room was hidden behind many restrictions. The walls were made of cold black iron, exuding a chilling atmosphere. In the secret room, the light was dim, with only a few green magic lamps flickering. The light and shadows cast on the walls danced strangely, as if countless wronged souls were baring their fangs and claws.

Saint Envoy Zhuxue was standing in the center of the secret room at this moment, his aura was disordered, and his originally cold and majestic face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if covered by a layer of inky haze, so dark that it seemed like water could drip out. (End of this chapter)
