Chapter 13863: Demon-Suppressing City Outpost
Ni Shuanghan was wearing a colorful dress with her long hair flying like black silk dancing in the wind.
Her face was stern and beautiful, and her eyes contained a chill that seemed to be able to freeze a person's soul.
The newly hung sword tassel on the waist was still stained with undried blood, which swayed in the wind like a blooming gorgeous flower, emitting a strange breath.
Ni Shuang's cold gaze swept across Ling Xiao, and for the first time ever, she raised the corners of her lips. That smile was like a ray of sunshine on an iceberg, short-lived but dazzling.
She spoke slowly, her voice cold and firm: "I heard that you are going to the Demon Sea. It reminds me of what Master said."
"He said, 'A true strong person does not depend on how many demons he can kill, or how powerful his martial arts are, but on the one who dares to fight for a chance of survival against heaven and earth for the beliefs in his heart.'"
“Although this sea of demons is full of dangers, it is also a great place to hone yourself and realize your beliefs.”
"If you are really determined, go for it and don't waste this great time."
Ling Xiao's star-like eyes lit up instantly, as if a dazzling meteor streaked across the night sky, revealing uncontrollable excitement and anticipation.
He clasped his hands together, his movements were elegant and neat, and with a bit of boldness and sincerity, he said loudly: "It seems that we heroes think alike!"
"Fairy Ni, you have great ambitions and have unique insights into the changing world. I, Ling Xiao, am the same."
"If the two of us can work together, we will definitely be able to carve out a niche in the sea of demons. How about..."
"Shut up!" Ni Shuanghan's frosty voice suddenly rang out, like a sharp ice blade, instantly cutting through the subtle atmosphere in the air.
The long sword in her hand was shining with cold light, and the tip of the sword suddenly pressed against Ling Xiao's throat like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. The sword body flashed with a cold light, revealing a terrifying murderous intent.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, my sword will not have eyes. Don't blame me for being ruthless then." Ni Shuanghan's face was stern, and his eyes were full of warnings. That cold gaze seemed to be able to freeze Ling Xiao's heart.
Ling Xiao didn't even look at the sword against his throat. A faint smile appeared on his face, and there was a bit of confidence and calmness in that smile, as if the sword was just an insignificant branch in his eyes.
He shook his head gently and said slowly: "Your fairy will not kill me, and you can't kill me!"
“Although I am not talented, I have been in this world for many years and have walked through the brink of life and death many times.”
"I just want to invite Fairy Ni to go to the Demon Sea with me. Although there are dangers everywhere, it is also full of opportunities and challenges. Maybe we can uncover the mystery of the Demon Sea together. Why is there such a tense situation?"
Ni Shuanghan was slightly startled, as if she was touched by Ling Xiao's fearless aura and frank words.
She was silent for a moment, then slowly put away the sword. Her movements were quick and decisive, as if the sword had never been unsheathed.
She said coldly: "I will follow my master. Wherever my master goes, I will go."
"The future of our journey to the Demon Sea is uncertain. I hope we can meet again alive!" After saying that, she didn't even look at Ling Xiao again. She turned around and walked away into the distance. Her figure was light and resolute, like a black butterfly disappearing in the wind.
Ling Xiao looked at Ni Shuanghan's receding figure, shook his head helplessly, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He muttered quietly, "I just looked at her a few more times, why are you so fierce? You want to fight and kill me every time you meet."
"This Fairy Ni has a really weird temper." He sighed softly, but he didn't feel too much regret about Ni Shuanghan's departure. After all, everyone has their own choices and mission.
Alas... This sigh was filled with his emotion about this complicated world, and also contained his expectation for unknown adventures in the future.
After a brief interlude, Ling Xiao quickly calmed down and began to arrange follow-up matters.
He knew very well that this time he stepped into the Sea of Demons, it was an unknown and extremely dangerous area, like stepping into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, where he would be in danger of death.
But the safety of Batian City and the fate of all people in the world were like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart, not allowing him to retreat even a little.
He must make full preparations before setting off to ensure that Batian City will be safe and secure during this period, and also make sufficient arrangements for supplies and personnel for the trip to the Demon Sea.
At dawn the next day, the sky was just beginning to show a hint of paleness, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the earth like a veil.
Ling Xiao only brought Xiao Lianzhu, Ling Bi and Meng Haoqing with him and set out for the heart of the Demon Sea.
Xiao Lianzhu was wearing a pink dress, like a delicate peach blossom, her eyes revealing her concern and determination for Ling Xiao; Ling Bi was wearing tight clothes, looking heroic, with excitement flashing in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to this adventure; Meng Haoqing was tall and strong, standing beside Ling Xiao like an iron tower, holding a weapon tightly in his hand, with a solemn and loyal look on his face.
Four men rode on their horses, the sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the quiet morning, and they galloped towards the unknown sea of demons.
The news spread quickly throughout the Dazhen Dynasty as if it had wings.
After learning that Ling Xiao had left Batian City and headed for the Demon Sea, all forces secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, with Ling Xiao's strength, in this ever-changing world, if he harbors ulterior motives, it would be enough to turn the entire battle situation upside down and greatly threaten the interests of all parties.
Now that he has left, all parties seemed to have lifted a heavy stone from their hearts and began to re-arrange their sphere of influence.
At the call of the royal family, the holy temple, the water tribe, the feather tribe and Xuantian Temple, countless warriors flocked in like a tide.
They come from different places and have different backgrounds and purposes.
Some people covet the treasures promised by powerful forces. Those treasures are said to have magical effects that can improve martial arts and enhance the power of magic weapons. Once obtained, they can dominate the world. Some people are eager to become famous in this war, become a hero admired by everyone, and let their names be passed down through the ages in the world.
However, no one knew that the shadow of the Demon Sea had already covered the entire continent like a huge black net.
That land that seems to be full of opportunities actually hides countless deadly dangers, and an unprecedented storm is quietly brewing.
Three days later, the sun was high in the sky, and its scorching light was like a golden veil, sprinkling on the vast land.
Ling Xiao and his group of four finally arrived at the outpost of the Demon-Suppressing City after a long journey.
This outpost stands like a steel fortress in the desolate wilderness, surrounded by bottomless ravines and steep cliffs, as if it were a natural barrier erected by the earth to defend against demons.
The tall city walls were made of hard black iron stone, sparkling with a cold light under the sunlight. The flags planted on the city walls fluttered and made a whirring sound, as if telling stories of past wars and glory.
