Chapter 13948: Battle 3, No. 8
As he spoke, Ling Xiao deliberately put on a pose that he thought was cool, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Ni Shuanghan's gaze slowly moved down and fell on Ling Xiao's hand that was holding her shoulder.
That hand was large and powerful, but at this moment it felt like a piece of red-hot iron, burning her whole body and making her feel uncomfortable.
Ling Xiao woke up as if from a dream, and then realized his own gaffe.
His face flushed red instantly, he let go of her hand in a hurry, scratched his head awkwardly, and stammered, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry at the moment, I didn't mean to offend you, if I really wanted to offend you, I wouldn't touch that place, right? Hehe..."
He tried to cover up his embarrassment with laughter, but that laughter was uglier than crying.
Ni Shuanghan's eyes were as sharp as knives, and she glared at him fiercely. That look seemed to be able to cut Ling Xiao into pieces.
She was secretly angry in her heart. Ling Xiao looked very serious on weekdays, but how could he be so unreliable at the critical moment?
Seeing Ni Shuanghan's increasingly ugly expression, Ling Xiao hurriedly changed the subject, looking at the tense battlefield below, and said, "Fairy Ni, what do you think of the strength of those two? I think they have extraordinary auras, and I'm afraid they are not ordinary people."
Ni Shuanghan smiled coldly, and that smile was full of sarcasm.
She first pointed at Ling Xiao, then at Chu Yunfei below, and said in a cold voice:
"I don't care what those two do. You're just staying here like a coward. You were so arrogant when you killed your own people, but why are you afraid to fight now? Go and kill that arrogant Chu Yunfei and let him know how powerful our Dazhen Dynasty is."
In Ni Shuanghan's opinion, Ling Xiao usually shows off his power in the sect, but is so timid when facing external enemies, which really makes her look down on him.
Ling Xiao shook his head like a rattle, and waved his hands quickly, saying, "Is it my turn as a master to attack such a weakling? The Dazhen Dynasty is really finished. Who am I, Ling Xiao? How could I attack such a small character casually? Wouldn't that be lowering my status?"
He said it lightly, but he felt a little nervous in his heart. After all, Chu Yunfei could easily defeat Xiao Yurou, who was ranked seventh on the Star List. His strength must not be underestimated.
Ni Shuanghan frowned, her face full of displeasure. She crossed her arms over her chest and said coldly, "Stop bragging here. I think you are just afraid. You usually act arrogantly in the sect, but you become cowardly when you meet a real strong man. You are such a useless guy."
Ling Xiao explained seriously:
"It's no use frowning. I'm telling the truth. My strength is stronger than the Ten Kings. Even if we have to fight, I will fight the number one on the other side's demon list, not the number eight.
Although Chu Yunfei has some skills, he is not worth my effort. If I take action, this battle will be too boring. I have to save my strength to deal with stronger opponents. "
Ni Shuanghan: “.”
Under the city wall, the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, ready to explode at any moment.
Chu Yunfei stood with his head held high, his posture as straight as a pine tree. He glanced around and saw that no one responded to his challenge. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a scornful smile, and shouted again:
"No one dares to respond? Are the so-called geniuses of the Dazhen Dynasty all a bunch of cowards?" That voice, with undisguised sarcasm, echoed in the air.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a graceful figure fell rapidly from the city wall like a meteorite, with a fierce momentum, and landed steadily in front of Chu Yunfei.
Amid the flying dust, the person who came gradually became clear. It was Ni Shuanghan, the direct disciple of Sword King Bai Qiuchi, who is now ranked third on the Star List.
She was wearing a light blue suit, her figure was graceful yet heroic, her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with determination.
On the city wall, Ling Xiao watched this scene, shrugged helplessly, and whispered to himself:
"Alas, I still couldn't stop it."
He knew in his heart that although Ni Shuanghan was gifted and his strength was among the best among his peers, his realm was still a little low. Compared with Chu Yunfei, there was still a big gap, and he could never be Chu Yunfei's opponent.
The reason why he stopped Ni Shuanghan before was purely out of kindness and he didn't want her to take risks, but she didn't appreciate it at all.
After Ni Shuanghan steadied her body, she stared at Chu Yunfei with eyes as sharp as torches and asked coldly, "Are you the strongest of the younger generation in the Demon Sea?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.
The strongest in the Demon Sea? Chu Yunfei was stunned when he heard this, then he shook his head and chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his laughter:
"Sister, please don't tease me. If this gets out, I'll be laughed at. Although I, Chu Yunfei, have some skills, I'm not the strongest among the younger generation of the Demon Sea."
Ni Shuanghan frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Aren't you the strongest?" She really couldn't understand why the person in front of her who could easily defeat Xiao Yurou, who was seventh on the Star List, was not the strongest of the younger generation in the Demon Sea.
Chu Yunfei looked serious and nodded solemnly: "Of course not."
Ni Shuanghan became more and more curious and couldn't help asking, "Who is the strongest then?" She wanted to see what kind of powerful people were hidden among the younger generation of this sea of demons.
Chu Yunfei did not answer immediately, but slowly turned his head to look at the man and woman behind the Demon King and the Monster King not far away.
There was a hint of awe in his eyes, mixed with a bit of helplessness, as if telling of an unbridgeable gap.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Those two are the most talented beings in the Demon Sea! Of course, apart from the Demon King and the Monster King."
Ni Shuanghan followed Chu Yunfei's gaze and glanced at the two men, only to see them standing quietly behind the Demon King and the Monster King. Their auras were restrained and ordinary, like mortals, without any of the aura that a strong man should have.
She couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart. Are these two people really as powerful as Chu Yunfei said?
However, she no longer had time to delve into these matters.
She withdrew her gaze and clenched the long sword that had accompanied her for many years in her hand. The sword blade flashed coldly in the sunlight.
She said coldly: "In that case, let's stop talking nonsense and get started!" She was ready to fight, and no matter who her opponent was, she would not back down.
Chu Yunfei nodded slightly, his movement was quick and decisive, as if he had anticipated Ni Shuanghan's proactive attack.
In an instant, his figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared from everyone's sight at an astonishing speed.
Ni Shuanghan reacted very quickly. She knew very well that Chu Yunfei's strength should not be underestimated. The moment the other party's figure swayed, the aura around her suddenly exploded, and the aura spread to the surroundings like a surging tide.
She tightly grasped the long sword that had accompanied her for many years, and with a delicate cry, she thrust the long sword forward fiercely. The blade was so sharp that it seemed to tear the world apart. (End of this chapter)
