Chapter 13993 Quickly Take It Away

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yue's expression changed drastically. Her confident smile vanished without a trace, replaced by anxiety and tension.

Her eyes widened, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Stop it!"

His voice was filled with anxiety and worry.

Ling Xiao reacted extremely quickly; almost the instant Shangguan Yue shouted, his palm suddenly rose upwards.

As if sensing its master's call, the Bloodthirsty Blade transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky, instantly blocking the Crimson Sun Sphere.

The Crimson Sun Sphere showed no sign of stopping. Its flames blazed fiercely, like a burning sun, and it crashed into the Bloodthirsty Blade with a destructive force.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, spiritual energy overflowed, and the entire underground space was enveloped by this powerful force.

Ling Xiao's gaze was piercing, a cold and resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

He stared intently at the menacing Crimson Sun Sphere, thinking to himself: Although this Crimson Sun Sphere is incredibly powerful, it is ultimately just an inanimate object. Without a martial artist to control it with spiritual power and guide it with divine sense, how can it compare to my bloodthirsty blade that has accompanied me in battle for many years and drunk my fill of blood?

As expected, the Crimson Sun Sphere, like a burning meteor, was slashed away by a tangible blade of light the moment it touched the Bloodthirsty Blade's sharp edge.

The blade light seemed capable of tearing through space, carrying unparalleled domineering power as it propelled the Crimson Sun Orb far away.

The Crimson Sun Sphere tumbled wildly in the air, its flames flickering violently, as if it were trembling violently, or howling in pain.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yue's face instantly turned ashen, her eyes filled with terror and anxiety.

She exclaimed, "Don't hurt it!"

Her voice trembled with a hint of a sob, as if the Crimson Sun Orb were her most treasured possession.

Before she finished speaking, she leaped into the air, like a nimble swallow, and flew directly towards the Crimson Sun Sphere.

The Crimson Sun Sphere trembled violently, as if sensing the threat posed by this stranger, Shangguan Yue, and continued to emit an even hotter aura.

The aura was like surging magma, carrying a high temperature capable of incinerating everything.

Shangguan Yue, however, paid no attention to anything else, only wanting to grab the Crimson Sun Orb.

She stretched out her right hand and reached for the Crimson Sun Ball, but as soon as she touched it, a piercing pain shot through her right hand.

Her flesh was instantly scorched, her skin turned black, and blood dripped onto the ground in torrents, making a sizzling sound on the hot ground.

Upon seeing this, Ling Xiao was startled and quickly flew to Shangguan Yue's side.

He said in a deep voice, "It must submit to you before it will restrain its violent power and avoid harming you!"

The voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Shangguan Yue gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in her right hand, looked at the Crimson Sun Sphere, and shouted, "Will you submit to me?"

Her eyes were filled with determination and an unyielding spirit.

However, the Crimson Sun Sphere trembled violently, its flames burning even more intensely, emitting angry cries that seemed to be a protest, clearly unwilling to submit to Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue remained expressionless, but a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Kill it!"

The voice was as cold as frost and snow in the dead of winter, without the slightest hesitation or pity.

After saying that, she turned to leave, as if she had been completely disappointed with the Crimson Sun Sphere.

Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Shangguan Yue to be so resolute.

Just then, the Bloodthirsty Blade seemed to understand Shangguan Yue's words, its blade trembled slightly, and emitted a low hum.

Immediately afterwards, it transformed into a streak of crimson light and slashed directly at the Crimson Sun Sphere.

Wherever the bloodthirsty blade passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The Crimson Sun Sphere trembled with fear upon sensing the powerful pressure emanating from the Bloodthirsty Blade.

The flames around it dimmed considerably in an instant, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

The next moment, it flew directly in front of Ling Xiao and let out a low chirping sound. The sound was full of fear and pleading, as if it was showing weakness to Ling Xiao and Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue suddenly turned around, crossed her arms, her eyebrows furrowed, her almond eyes wide open, staring intently at the Crimson Sun Ball, and shouted irritably, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come with me? If you're so capable, go and fight that Bloodthirsty Blade one-on-one! Let's see who has the last laugh!"

The Crimson Sun Sphere seemed to understand Shangguan Yue's words. Its flames flickered violently and trembled constantly, like a child who had done something wrong, trying to express its apology. The light flickered, as if telling of its inner fear.

After a moment, Shangguan Yue suppressed her anger, turned to look at Ling Xiao, her eyes filled with urgency and anticipation, and said urgently, "Take it! This Crimson Sun Orb is no ordinary object. As long as you have it, your Overlord Empire will no longer need to fear those guys from the Demon Sea. The Demon Sea has always been ferocious. With this treasure, it's like having an unbreakable defense line."

Ling Xiao was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with doubt, and asked curiously, "You're going to give this to me? Wasn't this for you? You went through all this trouble just to give it to me?"

In his view, Shangguan Yue's obsession with the Crimson Sun Sphere must mean she had something in mind, but he never expected her to give it up so easily.

Shangguan Yue put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Of course it's for you! You're the one I've chosen. That damned demon king ruined my dream and made all my years of hard work go down the drain. I won't let him get away with this. You'd better take it now, or I might change my mind and not give it to you!"

Her tone carried a hint of defiance, yet also an undeniable resolve.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this woman really has a strange temper, she really shouldn't be offended easily.

He smiled helplessly, slowly stretched out his hand, and reached for the Crimson Sun Sphere.

This time, the Crimson Sun Ball offered no resistance and obediently fell into his hands.

The warm touch came from his palm, as if a mysterious force was resonating with him.

Ling Xiao held the Crimson Sun Ball tightly, his eyes filled with delight, as if he had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.

Although the purpose of the Crimson Sun Orb is still unknown, and it is clear that it can help him protect the Overlord Empire, Shangguan Yue has always been exceptionally intelligent, and her words are not just empty talk.

Ling Xiao secretly planned to thoroughly study the mysteries of the Crimson Sun Sphere once he returned.

However, at that moment, the wellhead below suddenly began to tremble violently, as if a primordial beast was about to burst out of the ground.

Ling Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly bent down to look.

Inside the fire well, the once calm magma was now churning and surging like boiling water, with huge bubbles constantly rising and bursting, making crackling sounds.

Terrifying waves of heat erupted from the ground like angry fire dragons, distorting and warping the air in their wake. (End of Chapter)
