Chapter 13796 Shen Ling

On the battlefield, the white-robed chief priest felt the powerful aura of Dugu Sheng approaching, and slowly turned around to face Dugu Sheng. A faint smile appeared on his face, which showed both his joy at the arrival of his old friend and a hint of composure as a powerful warrior.

Immediately, he said, "Brother Dugu is here." He and Dugu Sheng have been famous in the martial arts world for a long time. Although they are not close friends, they know each other's strength and status, so naturally they would not be too humble.

However, the appearance of Dugu Sheng at this moment was undoubtedly a timely relief for the White Robe Priest who was in trouble. He knew very well that with the help of Dugu Sheng, he would be able to solve the troubles he was facing, so he was very happy in his heart, and his words unconsciously revealed some warmth.

Dugu Sheng stood straight like a pine tree. He nodded slightly when he heard the call from the white-robed chief priest. A smile appeared on his face. He said leisurely with a hint of ridicule, "White-robed, you can't do this. You can't even catch a little kid. Do you need me to help you?"

His voice was powerful and steady, like the sound of a huge bell, and could be heard clearly above the noisy battlefield. Although there was a smile in his words, there was a hint of contempt for the current situation. After he finished speaking, he slowly turned his neck and cast his sharp eyes like an eagle at Ling Xiao opposite him.

His eyes were filled with scrutiny and curiosity. He looked Ling Xiao up and down, as if he wanted to see through him. He even muttered to himself unconsciously: "This is the true transformation into a demon..." Although the voice was low, it seemed to carry some kind of magic that made the air around it tremble.

At this moment, the sky in the distance seemed to be torn open by an invisible giant hand, and suddenly there was a sharp sound of swords. This sound of swords was like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, cutting through the sky and attracting everyone's attention.

The voice contained an endless fierceness, as if it was going to chop everything in the world into pieces. Dugu Sheng heard the voice and looked up as fast as lightning. He saw a star-level expert stepping on the void and slowly falling down.

This person has a restrained aura, but the powerful aura that he exudes unintentionally distorts the air around him.

His face was extremely unfamiliar, however, looking at his attire, a black robe embroidered with the golden runes unique to the Temple, which sparkled with a mysterious light in the sun, everyone knew that this person should also be a member of the Temple.

"Shen Ling, look at how miserable you are. I told you that you are no longer qualified to be Shen Ling's position. Let me replace you." As the strong man landed on the ground, he let out a mocking chuckle.

He looked quite young, with a handsome and somewhat unruly face, and a look of great ambition in his eyes.

Looking closely, he should be no more than 40 years old. Although he has long passed the age requirement set by the Star Ranking, in a world full of experts, it is amazing to have the strength of the Star Realm at such a young age. He stood there with his head held high, as if he was the only one in the world.

"Shen Lin, you are just a newcomer. What qualifications do you have to snatch my position!" When Shen Ling heard this, his face instantly became extremely ugly, and his eyes showed fear.

Ling Xiao had broken one of his arms. Although the broken arm had been simply bandaged, blood was still seeping out, and he looked quite disheveled.

At this moment, he was well aware that he was not in good condition. It would be quite difficult for him to defeat the aggressive Shen Lin in front of him. However, the pride in his bones made him unwilling to show weakness easily, so he could only force himself to glare at him.

"Then let's have a fight?" Shen Lin raised his lips and sneered, his smile full of provocation and arrogance. He crossed his arms and leaned back slightly, looking like he was sure of victory, as if he didn't take Shen Ling seriously at all, and didn't care about the tense situation on the battlefield at all.

"Shen Lin, have you had enough of the trouble?" Seeing this, the white-robed high priest couldn't help but frown, his face full of displeasure.

His voice was full of majesty, like a thunder exploding in everyone's ears: "I asked you to come here to beware of other forces. Don't mess with your own people. If you have more energy than you can use, why don't you come and fight with the Star Picking Tower Master?"

After saying this, he stared at Shen Lin with a sharp gaze. His eyes were filled with reproach for Shen Lin's reckless behavior, and also revealed a hint of worry about the current complicated situation.

In this ever-changing battlefield, various forces are eyeing the situation covetously, and internal disputes are undoubtedly making the situation worse. He does not want the great cause of the temple to be ruined by this unprovoked internal strife.

When Shen Lin heard the rebuke from the white-robed high priest, instead of restraining himself, he laughed nonchalantly. The laughter echoed on the battlefield with a hint of cynicism.

There was a playful light in his eyes, and he looked with interest in the direction where Dugu Sheng and Ling Xiao were confronting each other. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, hooking a sly smile, and he said leisurely: "I want to watch the fun. I wonder how much stronger this sword maniac Dugu Sheng is than Shen Ling. Can he take down that kid?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands, like a spectator about to enjoy the beginning of a wonderful drama, completely ignoring the tense situation around him, as if this battle of life and death was just a performance for his entertainment.

Dugu Sheng couldn't help but snort when he heard Shen Lin's words. The voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, with a hint of chill. He slowly turned his neck and cast his sharp eyes like cold stars at Ling Xiao, his eyes revealing an unquestionable confidence and majesty.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his thin lips, and said word by word: "Come, let me see how many cards you have hidden." Those words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart, as if announcing to Ling Xiao that no matter how many tricks he had, he had the confidence to crack them one by one.

Ling Xiao met Dugu Sheng's gaze, and the corners of his mouth suddenly cracked, revealing a ferocious smile, which was filled with endless madness and determination.

His eyes flashed with blood-red light, just like burning devil flames, and he said viciously: "You are not much stronger than Shen Ling, but you still failed to break through the Star Realm? Since you want to fight me, I will let you know the terrible consequences!"

At the moment he said this, Ling Xiao was very clear in his mind that with his current strength, he was indeed no match for Dugu Sheng.

But his character of not wanting to be outdone and his extreme desire for power made him never back down easily. At this time, he was already at the eighth level of Tianhe Realm, and the power in his body was like a turbulent undercurrent, surging endlessly.

He knew very well that as long as he killed a few more Holy Temple warriors and devoured their flesh and blood essence, he would be able to further enhance his own strength and advance to a higher realm.

He secretly calculated in his heart that as long as he could be promoted to the peak of Tianhe Realm, his own strength would make a qualitative leap, and then he would be qualified enough to fight Dugu Shengzhen. So, at this moment, he decided to avoid the sharp edge for the time being and look for a more suitable time. (End of this chapter)
