Chapter 13726 The Prodigal Son

Ling Xiao tried to use these teasing words to ease the tense atmosphere, and at the same time hoped to distract Ni Shuanghan's attention and buy himself more time to escape.

"Lecher!" Ni Shuanghan gritted his teeth and squeezed out these three words from between his teeth. His voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air. His eyes were full of disgust and anger as he stared at Ling Xiao who was desperately fleeing in front of him.

Her chest was heaving violently, and she was obviously very angry about Ling Xiao's actions. The anger in her heart was like a raging flame that almost swallowed her up.

"You've seen my body and you still want to pretend nothing happened? How can you get such an easy deal?" Ni Shuanghan roared angrily. The sound echoed in the empty fields outside the city, startling a group of birds nesting in the grass.

As she spoke, she quickened her pace, taking each step with great force, as if she wanted to leave a deep footprint on the ground.

Ling Xiao was helpless when he heard this. He looked back while running, showing a helpless expression on his face. He responded loudly: "Could it be that you really want me to marry you? I have repeatedly emphasized that I already have someone I like. Besides, with your body as flat as a cutting board, what is there for me to miss!"

He deliberately exaggerated, trying to anger Ni Shuanghan and make her lose her composure, thus buying himself more time to escape. In fact, Ni Shuanghan's figure was perfect, and Ling Xiao just said that to irritate her.

"You're looking for death! I must cut off your tongue today and see if you can still speak such nonsense!" Ni Shuanghan's face turned pale in an instant, and her originally cold eyes were now filled with murderous intent, like an enraged lioness.

She secretly swore in her heart that she would not let the bastard Ling Xiao escape today no matter what, and she must make him pay a heavy price for his frivolous behavior.

"Tsk, to be honest, that's not enough." Ling Xiao curled his lips and muttered softly, then continued to run wildly in front. His feet seemed to have the wind, leaving a trail of afterimages on the grass and raising a cloud of dust.

Ni Shuanghan followed him closely like a ghost, chasing him relentlessly.

Gradually, Ni Shuanghan's speed became faster and faster, and her figure almost turned into a phantom in the air. As time went by, the distance between her and Ling Xiao became closer and closer. The gap between them was originally more than ten meters, but now it has been shortened to less than five meters.

Ni Shuanghan tapped the ground with her toes, jumped high into the air, drew a graceful and sharp arc in the air, and pounced towards Ling Xiao. The five fingers of her right hand were bent like sharp eagle claws, grabbing towards Ling Xiao's back, as if she wanted to eat Ling Xiao alive.

It seemed that Ni Shuanghan had completely recovered to her former peak state, her body was very strong, without any trace of injury. Her powerful fighting power was also fully displayed at this moment, and every movement was full of the beauty of strength and speed.

When this guy was at the lower level of the Star Realm, he was already able to compete with the high-level Star Realm masters. Now it seems that the rumor is true. Her strength is unfathomable, and her fighting skills are perfect. Every move she makes is hard to defend against.

On the other hand, Ling Xiao secretly groaned in his heart. With his current strength, under normal circumstances, he was no match for Ni Shuanghan, a little girl.

Although the power in his body has shown signs of breakthrough and may be able to go further at any time, he knows that even if he breaks through, he still can't compete with Ni Shuanghan. After all, Ni Shuanghan's talent and strength are there, and it is not easy to surpass.

Therefore, the only thing Ling Xiao could do at the moment was to run away desperately. Moreover, even if he really had the courage to fight Ni Shuanghan, the problem was that once a fight broke out outside the city, the noise would inevitably attract people from the Holy Hall.

By then, the situation would be completely out of control. He would no longer be facing a one-on-one duel, but a group of Saint Hall masters. Ling Xiao shuddered at the thought of being beaten up by a group of masters. It would definitely be worse than death.

Therefore, in order to save his own life, he could only continue to flee desperately in this wilderness like a stray dog, trying to get rid of Ni Shuanghan's entanglement.

After a while, the two of them were chasing and fleeing in this vast wilderness, their figures passing by like shooting stars.

Wherever they passed, the green grass was bent by the strong wind, and then slowly bounced up after they left. In the distance, the towering imperial city shone with golden light under the sunlight, but it was still out of reach, and was quite far away from where they were at the moment.

While running, Ling Xiao looked back from time to time to observe Ni Shuanghan's movements. Seeing that Ni Shuanghan was following him closely like a leech and showed no sign of giving up, he thought to himself that if a battle was fought here, the heavily guarded temple would not be able to detect it easily.

Even if they noticed, it would be impossible for them to rush here in such a remote location. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, kicked his feet hard on the ground, and stopped steadily as if he was fixed.

Seeing Ling Xiao stop, Ni Shuanghan's eyes flashed with surprise, but she had no time to care whether Ling Xiao had any conspiracy or not. There was only one thought in her mind, that is to catch this scoundrel who flirted with her and make him pay a heavy price.

In an instant, the spiritual energy around her surged wildly, and her already extremely fast speed suddenly increased again. She turned into a black lightning and rushed towards Ling Xiao rapidly.

At the same time, a dark spear flashing with cold light appeared out of thin air in her hand. Ni Shuanghan held the spear with both hands, shouted softly, and shook her wrist vigorously. The spear was like a nimble black dragon, piercing towards Ling Xiao fiercely with the sound of whistling wind.

"Swish!" Accompanied by a sharp sound, it seemed as if an invisible sharp blade cut through the space.

The air in front of Ling Xiao was instantly twisted and deformed. The originally calm space was like a piece of fragile cloth, which was directly torn apart by Ni Shuanghan's sharp shot, revealing a series of dark and deep cracks. There was a strange light faintly flashing in the cracks, as if connecting to an unknown mysterious space.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao was shocked and did not dare to be careless. He knew that Ni Shuanghan's strength was extraordinary, so he stretched out his hand without hesitation to grasp the hilt of the knife at his waist, and pulled it hard, and a long knife emitting a biting coldness came out of the sheath.

Ling Xiao shouted loudly, mobilizing all the spiritual power in his body to gather on the long sword, and then fiercely slashed at the spear that Ni Shuanghan was stabbing at.

"Boom!" A deafening roar, like thunder exploding in the ground, echoed across the wilderness. (End of this chapter)
