Chapter 13877 Do you really think you are strong?

Ling Xiao's heart was like a volcano about to erupt, with raging anger surging wildly in his chest.

He clenched his back teeth, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists at his sides, his knuckles turned pale from the force, and he secretly cursed the seemingly arrogant girl in front of him.

However, his face seemed to be covered by an invisible mask, forcing a nonchalant and cynical smile. That smile was like the false warm sunshine in winter, seemingly warm but actually cold and provocative.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao moved and approached the girl quickly like a ghost.

He leaned forward slightly, almost close to the girl's ear, and lowered his voice. The voice seemed to come from the low cry of a night owl in the abyss of the underworld, with a creepy chill. Only the two of them could hear it:
"Oh, I never thought that the one who always boasted of being a super genius in the Demon Sea would now be reduced to the point of asking me, a nameless person in the martial arts world, to defeat you. Look at your current state, it seems that you don't have much confidence in yourself. The so-called genius halo is just a facade."

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a mocking smile, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.

He folded his hands in front of his chest, deliberately pretending to be superior, and continued:

"Alright, alright, I won't waste my time betting with you anymore. Go away and stop boring yourself here. You are no match for me. If I beat you, it would be like bullying a weakling who can't even lift a finger. If this gets out, people will laugh at me."

After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around gracefully, the hem of his clothes fluttering in the wind with his movements, like a flag fluttering in the wind, dancing wantonly, highlighting his seemingly free and easy, and cynical personality.

His steps were light and casual, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial episode, and he didn't take the girl seriously at all.

At this time, the girl's nails had already dug deeply into her palms, but the sharp pain could not relieve her inner anger and humiliation at all.

The bright red blood slowly seeped out from between the fingers, dripping onto the ground drop by drop, like the raindrops before a storm, foreshadowing that a devastating storm was about to come.

The girl has always been known for her calmness and composure. In the eyes of others, she always looks calm and unmoved, and is definitely not the type of person who is easily angered.

However, Ling Xiao's words, which were both offensive and hurtful, were like an extremely sharp barb that pierced into the softest part of her heart.

The pain spread like a tide, almost suffocating her. Her body trembled slightly, her hands clenched into fists, and her knuckles turned blue due to excessive force.

Before the girl could recover from the great humiliation and organize her words to refute, Ling Xiao had already turned his back leisurely, not even willing to give her a spare glance.

He waved his hand casually. The action seemed careless, but the words he spoke were like knives, carrying deadly lethality, fiercely stabbing the girl:

"To be honest, if it weren't for the unicorn next to you, I would have killed you with a knife just now based on your self-righteous attitude. Do you really think you are capable enough to talk nonsense with me here? Don't you know your own weight?"

The girl was completely enraged by Ling Xiao's words. Her eyes were wide open, burning with rage, as if she wanted to burn everything in front of her to ashes.

She tapped the ground lightly with her toes and landed on the ground as lightly as a flying swallow.

However, this seemingly graceful movement actually contains a terrifying force like an overwhelming force.

There was a loud bang and spider-web-like cracks instantly appeared on the ground. The cracks spread wildly in all directions like a ferocious beast.

The powerful energy spread outward rapidly with her as the center, like a surging tide, and wherever it went, sand and rocks flew and dust rose up.

At the same time, the sword intent around the girl surged like a volcanic eruption, transforming into an invisible but sharp air wave, which swept up the surrounding sand and dust with overwhelming force, forming a huge vortex in an instant.

The vortex was like a terrifying black hole, swallowing up everything around it, making people shudder.

There were sudden cries of surprise from the crowd, filled with disbelief and deep fear.

“The peak of the Star Realm! He’s actually a peak Star Realm expert who’s less than seventeen years old!” Someone opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in, and shouted in a trembling voice.

Everyone retreated in panic and haste, fearing that they would be affected by the terrifying sword intent and become innocent victims of this conflict.

Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank, like two stars that were suddenly awakened, shrinking rapidly in their eye sockets, revealing his inner vigilance and uneasiness.

The muscles in the back instantly tensed up like a taut bowstring, and every muscle seemed to contain endless power, ready to deal with sudden danger at any time.

At the same time, the true energy in his body began to circulate uncontrollably, like a rushing river roaring through his meridians, trying to resist the powerful pressure that was coming towards him.

The sword intent that was coming towards him was like countless extremely sharp needles, carrying a sharp chill and a determination to penetrate everything, and it pierced Ling Xiao's body fiercely.

Each "thin needle" contained great power, pricking his skin and causing it to hurt, as if countless tiny ants were gnawing at his skin.

The sword was so sharp that it even left fine bloodstains on his clothes. The bloodstains spread on the clothes like winding snakes, which was particularly shocking.

Ling Xiao stared at the long sword with mysterious patterns on the girl's waist. Strange runes were flowing on the sword. Those runes were flashing with cold light, as if they were mysterious spells in ancient legends, containing endless power.

His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Such a young girl could actually reach such a high level. This talent was simply rare in the world.

In the entire martial arts world, people who possess such talent are probably rare, just like the brightest stars in the night sky, rare and precious.

"Make your move." The girl's voice was cold, as if it was the sound of the wind coming from an extremely cold place, without any emotion, so cold that it made people feel chilled.

The voice was like an icy blade, cutting through the tense atmosphere and piercing straight into Ling Xiao's ears.

As soon as she finished speaking, she shook her wrist lightly. Her movements were light and graceful, yet carried an unquestionable determination.

The moment the sword was unsheathed, a blinding cold light pierced the night sky like lightning, leaving a bright silver mark in the air. The light was so dazzling that it seemed to illuminate the entire dark world for a moment.
