Chapter 14471 Beidou Zhuxian
The moment the blade touched the back of Yun Susha's neck, thirty-six figures sealed off all directions of the hall, completely surrounding Ling Xiao.
Yun Changkong stood beside the dragon pillar, his gaze sharp as he swept over the bloodstain on his daughter's neck: "This feud should be settled by a man. You may leave."
"A man?" Ling Xiao's Bloodthirsty Blade trembled slightly, its blade slicing away Yun Su Sha's dark hair at her temples like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind. "When you kidnapped my people, did you ever speak of morality? How laughable that you're talking to me about the difference between men and women now!"
Ripples spread across the Reincarnation Bead in Yun Changkong's palm, as if it contained endless mysteries: "Release them, or the Divine Light Clan will fight you to the death!"
"That little fox isn't in my hands!" Before Yun Susha could finish speaking, her left arm was severed at the shoulder, and blood spurted out like mist, splashing onto the base of the ancestral master statue. Strangely, the blood mist was completely absorbed by the Daoist aura emanating from the statue, as if it had been devoured by an invisible force.
Yun Changkong's Dao principles trembled violently, churning like surging waves. However, before he could react, Ling Xiao's blade was already pressed against Yun Susha's neck.
"Don't force me to kill someone. I'm here to find someone. Don't get yourself into trouble."
Ling Xiao's voice was icy cold.
"If she says she's not here, then she's not here!" Yun Changkong's expression was cold and stern. Without hesitation, he crushed the communication jade talisman in his hand. The crisp sound of it shattering seemed to be the prelude to this storm.
Ling Xiao suddenly let out a low, eerie laugh. Within the rising blood mist around him, countless vengeful spirits flickered in and out of existence, like howling demons from hell. Seeing this, Yun Changkong was greatly alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "I will find them for you!"
When asked about the whereabouts of the little fox, Yun Susha looked at the shimmering Dao mark on her severed arm, her eyes filled with pain and resentment, and slowly said, "I was attacked on my way back. The attacker was at least a Star River Realm expert."
Upon hearing this, Yun Changkong's pupils contracted sharply, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. There were no more than a hundred such powerful individuals in the entire Silent Realm, yet they had suddenly appeared. Clearly, someone had meticulously planned this, intending to be the oriole catching the cicada, and to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
"What a clever scheme to kill someone with a borrowed knife!" The moment Yun Changkong spoke, Ling Xiao's bloodthirsty blade flashed out like lightning, instantly piercing Yun Susha's dantian. In the faint light of dissipated cultivation energy, Yun Susha's face turned deathly pale.
Ling Xiao suddenly drew his sword, then kicked the dying Yun Susha towards the altar, coldly shouting, "Watch closely what is about to happen!"
The moment he turned around, Ling Xiao's demonic aura condensed once more, surging wildly like a raging tide. Seeing this, Yun Changkong dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly threw the Reincarnation Pearl into the air.
In an instant, the chaotic energy bursting from the pearl, like a raging beast, instantly engulfed the entire hall.
However, at that moment, a flash of blood-red light appeared, the black bead shattered, and the aftershocks spread outwards like a surging tide, turning the entire Shenguang Mountain Range within a hundred miles into dust, with the dust rising up obscuring the sky.
Yun Changkong was so focused on watching Ling Xiao that he didn't notice a dark figure appearing behind him, a black dagger slashing out with terrifying light.
As the blade flashed past, Yun Changkong used all his cultivation to form a shield, attempting to withstand the fierce attack. However, it was ultimately too hasty.
It was utterly impossible to complete. The blade's edge sliced through his flesh as easily as cutting through rotten bamboo, instantly tearing his body apart and cleaving his soul in a massive, unhealable rift, leaving an indelible mark on his very being.
Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, Yun Changkong stared at his gradually transparent body, his eyes filled with despair and resentment, muttering to himself, "Shadow Venerable... you actually betrayed us and joined this brat!"
The Shadow Lord remained silent, merely staring coldly at Yun Changkong.
He didn't understand why these people would offend Ling Xiao. Everyone knew that Ling Xiao had that terrifying existence behind him. Wasn't this just courting death?
"This is just the beginning!" Ling Xiao drew his sword and pointed at the last intact ancestral hall, his voice cold and resolute. "I want you to witness with your own eyes how the Divine Light Clan will vanish from this world!"
Amidst the ruins of the altar, Yun Susha stared blankly at the dissipating traces of her father's Dao, her fingertips digging into her palms with force, the intense pain a mere fraction of the shock that gripped her soul. In that instant of her dazed state, Ling Xiao transformed into a crimson meteor, crashing into the crowd like lightning.
laugh--!
As the blade flashed, the heads of three purple-robed elders flew into the air, their blood spurting out like a fountain.
The corpses, still on the ground, were mercilessly shredded by subsequent sword beams. The gushing blood mist, before it could dissipate, was completely devoured by the Bloodthirsty Blade, as if snatched away by an invisible giant hand. In the blink of an eye, seven withered corpses plummeted like fallen leaves towards the collapsing suspended mountain, a scene of utter horrific carnage.
"Form the formation!" With a furious shout, seven golden rays of light cut off Lingxiao's path like lightning.
The leading Xuanjia warrior wielded the Sky-Splitting Halberd, and the Qi erupting from the Seven Stars Formation surged like a tidal wave, forcefully pushing the blood-red blade light back three zhang. As Ling Xiao staggered backward, the halberd, carrying the force of collapsing mountains, slashed down again, as if to crush him completely.
Boom! The sea of clouds within a thousand feet was shaken into a vacuum. Lingxiao crashed into the mountain like a meteor. The roar and the clang of the Xuanjia Guards changing formation rang out at the same time, shaking the earth.
These seven were clearly highly skilled, their offensive and defensive maneuvers effectively sealing off all angles for counterattack, their teamwork impeccable. Although Ling Xiao relied on his powerful physique to withstand the attack, his internal organs had been ruptured, causing him immense pain.
"Beidou Zhuxian!" the Xuanjia Guards roared in unison, the starlight erupting from their seven halberds condensing into a sun-piercing spear, like a dazzling beam of light tearing through the sky. The space in its path shattered like glass, and the emanating pressure caused the Divine Light Clan disciples watching from afar to cough up blood and fly backward, as if struck by an invisible force.
Ling Xiao's feet shattered the rock layers, and the power of the five elements surged into the Bloodthirsty Blade. At the moment the spear was about to strike, he charged forward, unleashing a heaven-splitting slash. In the exploding ball of light, he was sent flying, but the blood he sprayed was absorbed by his body like rivers flowing into the sea, as if his body were an inexhaustible vessel.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Ling Xiao was enveloped in a blood cocoon that seemed to solidify. The surging baleful aura caused the Xuanjia Guard's formation to flicker. The man was shocked to realize that his opponent's aura was 30% stronger than when he was at his peak, and a sense of fear welled up in his heart.
"Stubborn fool!" The Xuanjia Guards attacked again in formation, but this time Ling Xiao neither dodged nor evaded, letting the halberds tear through his flesh and blood flow freely. However, the Bloodthirsty Blade pierced the hearts of two men at the same time. This frenzied fighting style, where he traded injury for life, threw the remaining Xuanjia Guards into chaos. They had never seen such a reckless opponent.
Ling Xiao revealed a sinister smile and seized the opportunity to attack. The enemy's formation was in chaos and no longer posed a threat to him. Now it was time for him to unleash his killing spree.
Amidst the blood-red light, Ling Xiao began to tremble. (End of Chapter)
