Chapter 13844 Assassination of Ling Xiao

There was a light mist in the cave, which was caused by the spiritual energy emitted from Ling Xiao's body during his cultivation blending with the outside air.

There was a faint light flickering on the surrounding walls. Those were some simple formations set up by Ling Xiao to isolate himself from external interference.

Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on a cushion in the middle of the cave, his posture upright and his face calm.

A faint golden light surrounded his body, which was the unique scene produced when the Nine Revolutions of Samsara was in operation.

At this moment, he was close to the edge of a breakthrough. The true energy in his body was like a surging tide, rushing through his meridians, constantly impacting the bottleneck that was hindering his advancement.

With this breakthrough, he will be able to advance to the realm of heaven and man.

For others, the realm of heaven and man may not be a big deal.

However, for Ling Xiao, it has a completely different meaning because he possesses the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation.

This Tianren Realm, in Ling Xiao's hands, is even comparable to a strong person in Cangyue Realm.

The Cang Yue Realm is the top existence in the Dazhen Dynasty. Every strong person in the Cang Yue Realm has the power to destroy the world and is an existence that all forces have to respect.

As long as he breaks through, even if he doesn't become invincible in the Dazhen Dynasty, at least he will have more powerful strength to protect the people he wants to protect.

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.

He took a deep breath and immersed his entire mind in cultivation, guiding the true energy in his body to impact the bottleneck again and again.

Outside the cave, time passed quietly, while inside the cave, Ling Xiao's journey to breakthrough continued, and a transformation of his was about to come.

"Who?"

Suddenly, Ling Xiao, who was practicing quietly in the cave and trying his best to break through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Man Realm, suddenly shot his eyes like lightning outside the cave.

He frowned slightly, and the faint golden light surrounding his body due to cultivation, with this cold shout, was like the surface of a lake blown by a strong wind, rippling layer by layer, and a faint sharp aura emanated from his body.

It turned out that Ling Xiao had carefully set up numerous holy pattern formations around this cave.

These holy pattern formations were set up by him with much effort and precious materials, integrating his own understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

Each holy pattern is like a lively elf, flashing a mysterious and deep light. They are intertwined and echoing with each other, forming an invisible yet extremely solid net.

Once an outsider approaches, even the slightest footsteps or subtle breath fluctuations will be keenly captured by this holy pattern formation and the information will be transmitted to Ling Xiao's perception in the first time.

Normally, if a familiar person comes, the Holy Pattern Formation will signal Ling Xiao in a gentle way to let him know the identity of the visitor.

But this time, the feedback from the Holy Pattern Formation to him was clearly a completely unfamiliar aura.

There was a hint of coldness and malice in this breath, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

Ling Xiao sneered in his heart, and that smile was like an ice blade in the cold winter, chilling to the bone.

He moved, and instantly turned into an illusory ghost and disappeared into the void.

In the void, his figure was looming, as if it had merged into this space, making it elusive.

The next moment, outside the cave, a deafening roar suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, as if it was thunder from the sky, echoing endlessly in the valley.

A black shadow flew backwards from the direction of the cave like a kite with a broken string.

The black shadow drew a long arc in the air, and its speed was so fast that it caused a sharp whistling sound. The surrounding air was squeezed and deformed by this powerful force.

Finally, the black shadow fell heavily on the top of a mountain hundreds of meters away.

The mountain originally stood tall and majestic, but under the fierce impact of the black shadow, it began to tremble violently, as if an enraged beast was roaring in pain.

Huge rocks on the mountains rolled down one after another, like a sudden meteorite shower, crashing to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

As soon as the black shadow landed on the ground, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, as if an invisible giant hand was squeezing it wantonly.

One after another, faint blue holy patterns flashed out. These holy patterns were like flexible silk threads, quickly converging from all directions and instantly condensing into an ancient and mysterious vine cage.

A cold light flickered on the vine cage, and each vine seemed to have life, tightly wrapping around the black shadow and trapping it firmly inside. No matter how the black shadow struggled, it could not break free at all.

When the dust gradually settled, it became clear that the person trapped in the vine cage was actually a man in a gray robe!

The gray robe worn by the man in gray was tattered and covered with dust and blood, making him look disheveled.

His eyes were sinister and fierce, like two sharp daggers, staring at Ling Xiao who appeared in front of him, but a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was full of ridicule and provocation: "Ling Xiao, I didn't expect you to be here... It seems that God is helping me today, allowing me to take your life with my own hands!"

Ling Xiao stood in the air, his posture as straight as a pine tree. He folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at the other person indifferently, as if he was looking at an insignificant ant: "Who told you my location? Tell me, maybe I can give you a quick death."

His voice was calm and indifferent, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.

The gray-robed man sneered, and that laugh was like the cry of a night owl, harsh and eerie:

"Do you think I will tell you? Even if I die today, you will still live in danger and worry, on tenterhooks all day long! Your enemies will come to you like a tide, wave after wave, and you will never have peace!"

There was a mad light flashing in his eyes, as if he had already seen Ling Xiao's tragic end.

Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes and he gently waved his right hand.

In an instant, a bright cold light was like a meteor streaking across the night sky, cutting through the sky with an incomparable momentum.

Wherever the cold light passed, the air was cut and made a sharp hissing sound, as if wailing for this fatal blow.

"laugh!"

With a slight sound, the gray-robed man's head instantly flew into the sky, and blood splattered like a fountain.

The head drew a bloody arc in the air and slowly fell to the ground, with eyes full of disbelief and astonishment.

He never expected that Ling Xiao would act so decisively and ruthlessly, and he didn't even want to listen to a word of unnecessary nonsense.

Ling Xiao gently withdrew his right hand, and the bright cold light that cut off the gray-robed man's head instantly dissipated into nothingness, as if it had never appeared.

He spat out two words coldly: "Noisy!"

The voice was not loud, but it was like a sharp blade, piercing straight through the solemn atmosphere remaining in the valley, carrying with it unquestionable majesty and determination.

Immediately, he turned his gaze and looked at the Green Spirit who was standing not far away, wearing a long green dress. (End of this chapter)
