Chapter 14267 Pit
"you"
Bloodscale Old Monster's voice was hoarse and dry, with a noticeable tremor, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and abruptly turned his head to glare angrily at the withered old woman not far away.
His eyes were fierce like a hungry wolf's, as if burning with raging anger, as if he wanted to devour the old woman alive.
"How dare you betray me!"
He roared at the top of his lungs, his voice like that of a wounded beast, filled with anger and resentment.
His body trembled slightly with anger, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, and blood flowed down between his fingers, but he was completely unaware of it.
The withered old woman stood silently in place, like a stubborn rock eroded by time, saying nothing.
A complex expression flashed in her cloudy eyes, a mixture of shock, regret, and a barely perceptible fear.
She gripped the snake-headed staff tightly in her hands, the snake eyes on the staff gleaming with an eerie light, as if they too were trembling at the situation before them.
Her knuckles were white from the excessive force, and you could even hear a "crackling" sound coming from her joints, which showed that she was extremely shocked and nervous.
She never expected that this seemingly young man would be so much stronger than she had anticipated!
The speed of Ling Xiao's sword strike that severed the Bloodscale Old Monster's right arm was so fast that she could hardly see it with her naked eye. She only saw a flash of sword light before the Bloodscale Old Monster was severely injured. The power of the sword was terrifying, as if it could shatter everything in the world.
The power contained in that sword light was like a surging tide, causing her to feel a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of her heart.
Terribly strong!
The old woman sighed inwardly, a sigh that seemed to come from the depths of her soul.
She clearly realized that the young man in front of her was already far stronger than them, and they were no match for him at all.
Staying here would only bring shame upon myself, and might even cost me my life.
The withered old woman gave Ling Xiao a deep look, her eyes filled with awe and resentment.
Then, without hesitation, she turned around, muttered incantations, and her figure instantly transformed into a wisp of black smoke.
The black smoke, like a giant black python, meandered through the ancient tomb before quickly disappearing into its depths.
She didn't even turn her head, as if afraid that Ling Xiao might suddenly change his mind and leave her behind.
Seeing the old woman flee, the Bloodscale Monster was both shocked and furious.
His eyes were wide open like copper bells, bloodshot and seemingly about to spit fire.
He gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on them.
He hurriedly transformed into a streak of black light, wanting to escape this terrifying place.
However, the dark light swayed crookedly in the air, clearly because the pain of his severed arm was severely affecting his escape speed.
His body was faintly visible in the dark light, his face showing a pained and terrified expression, and every step he took seemed extremely difficult.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to give chase to the fleeing Bloodscale Old Monster, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed across her usually calm face.
She keenly sensed that a powerful force seemed to be rapidly rising from the other side of the bridge.
She turned to look at where Xiao Lianzhu was, and saw countless vengeful spirits surging towards Xiao Lianzhu like a black tide.
The vengeful spirits were of various shapes and sizes; some had hideous faces, while others had missing limbs. They roared and struggled, emitting sharp and mournful cries, as if they wanted to destroy everything in the world.
However, when these vengeful spirits approached Xiao Lianzhu, they were all swallowed up by the eerie blue light emanating from her body.
The eerie blue light was like a giant vortex, constantly drawing in the vengeful spirits.
As she devoured more and more vengeful spirits, Xiao Lianzhu's aura surged several times over.
The light emanating from her grew brighter and brighter, like a bright moon in the night sky, almost blinding people.
The light contained immense power, distorting the surrounding air and making it seem as if the entire space was about to be torn apart by this force.
Ling Xiao was originally focused on being aware of any potential dangers around him, while also keeping a sliver of his attention on Xiao Lianzhu's condition.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed tightly, and a look of vigilance and seriousness instantly appeared on his face.
Because he clearly felt that the seemingly sturdy bridge beneath his feet began to shake violently without warning!
The tremor was like a long-dormant beast suddenly awakening and beginning to struggle frantically.
On the bridge, gravel rained down from above like a torrential downpour, each piece carrying a powerful impact, as if to smash everything below to pieces.
Shocking cracks began to appear on the ground, spreading rapidly like giant black pythons, as if to tear the entire bridge into countless pieces.
At the same time, a chilling aura emanated from the depths of the earth, a cold and malevolent aura that seemed to come from the abyss of hell, sending shivers down one's spine.
Danger!
The thought flashed through Ling Xiao's mind like lightning.
Almost the instant the thought flashed through his mind, Ling Xiao had already used his superb movement technique, his figure flashing like a ghost, instantly appearing beside Xiao Lianzhu.
He shielded Xiao Lianzhu behind him, his eyes filled with determination and resolve, ready to face the impending danger.
Just then, the entire bridge emitted a deafening roar, as if it were its final roar.
Immediately afterwards, the bridge exploded, and countless huge stones flew in all directions like cannonballs.
The massive shockwave, like a surging ocean wave, instantly engulfed Ling Xiao and Xiao Lianzhu.
Stone fragments flew everywhere, like a dense barrage of bullets, hitting the surrounding stone walls with a "bang, bang" sound.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and the entire space was shrouded in thick smoke, making it impossible to see anything.
The violent distortion caused the surrounding air to twist and deform, as if we had entered another dimension.
At the same time, Ling Bi was also caught in the massive explosion.
She only had time to let out a cry of surprise before the powerful impact swept her away, disappearing into the billowing dust.
Shortly after Ling Xiao and his two companions disappeared, the once bustling battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Suddenly, a figure appeared silently on the ruins like a ghost.
The newcomer was dressed in a set of black armor. The armor was made of a special material, with intricate and mysterious runes engraved on the plates. In the dim light, it gleamed with a cold, eerie light, as if it contained endless power.
He wore a long sword at his waist, the scabbard inlaid with seven dazzling gems arranged neatly in the order of the Big Dipper, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.
