Chapter 14541 A Battle That Cannot Be Delayed
boom……!
A burst of blazing golden light erupted from the Golden Crow's body, as if the surrounding space was ignited and boiling wildly. The temperature instantly soared to its limit, even scorching the void with streaks of pitch black!
The golden crow suddenly slammed its wings together, its eyes blazing with flames, and roared, "Light that burns the heavens!"

roar……!!!
Countless fire dragons formed from the true fire of the sun broke through the golden light, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on the people of the Holy Temple and those ancient formations. Wherever the dragon breath passed, the golden light of the formations flickered violently and began to show signs of melting!

The Holy Temple experts' expressions changed drastically, and they all summoned their defensive magic treasures, but they were still scorched by the True Fire of the Sun and screamed in agony!

Ling Xiao was also shocked... Jin Yan's combat power had become so formidable! This kid must have obtained an incredible opportunity during this period, and his strength was vastly different from before, almost no weaker than Ling Xiao's at his peak!
Upon seeing this, several top experts from the Holy Temple immediately abandoned the people of the Overlord Empire and rushed towards the Golden Crow; the rest of them desperately held back the warriors of the Overlord Empire, preventing them from getting even a step closer to the teleportation array!

Ling Bi's face was extremely ugly... If she forced Ling Xiao to break through, there might be a sliver of hope, but the remaining members of the Overlord Empire would surely be slaughtered by the Holy Hall!
Just as they were caught in this dilemma, Ling Xiao suddenly spoke, his voice low yet exceptionally clear, carrying a hint of ruthlessness:
"Since they won't let us leave... then we won't leave."

He slowly raised his head, a resolute glint flashing across his pale face, and said, word by word:

"Kill! Leave no one behind!"

Before he finished speaking, a dense black shadow suddenly shot out from Ling Xiao's sleeve. The figure of the Poison Emperor hovered in mid-air, exuding the terrifying pressure unique to the Annihilation Emperor Realm. Black poisonous mist instantly filled the battlefield, and wherever it passed, grass and trees withered and metal and stone corroded!

"The Realm of Annihilation!"

The expressions of the powerful figures in the Holy Hall changed drastically, and their hearts were filled with shock... They never expected that Ling Xiao would have a powerful Emperor Realm expert hidden by his side!
The moment the Poisonous Insect Emperor joined the battle, the tide of war instantly turned! If it weren't for the ancient formations still holding them up, the Holy Temple's side would have already been routed!
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Bi, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Don't worry about me, go and wipe out these Holy Temple scum!"

A cold glint flashed in Ling Bi's eyes. She nodded in agreement, and her figure vanished like a ghost in an instant. The next second, she had already charged into the crowd of people in the Holy Hall. Her sword light was like a bolt of lightning, instantly reaping several lives!

Ling Xiao no longer hesitated and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, his body surging with spiritual light... Since he couldn't leave, he would race against time to restore his fighting strength!

With a flick of his fingertips, he unleashed a massive amount of high-grade spirit crystals and rare healing elixirs. A rich aroma of herbs and a vortex of spiritual energy surrounded him. He frantically absorbed the pure energy like a whale swallowing its prey. In his parched meridians, demonic energy began to slowly revive, and his body regained its vitality at a visible speed.

On the other side, the golden-armored saintess clashed with the sword demon for several rounds, her arms going numb from the impact. She abruptly withdrew, blood dripping from her severed arm onto the ground amidst the clouds, making a sizzling sound. Her gaze swept over Ling Xiao, who was healing, then fixed intently on the sword demon, her tone icy yet tinged with doubt: "You and this demon brat are not old acquaintances, so why did you risk your life to help him?"

"An old acquaintance?" Sword Fiend scoffed, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes. "You're not entirely stupid." Her tone shifted abruptly, becoming sharp. "Even if we were complete strangers, the Holy Temple has long been my mortal enemy!"

"Who exactly are you?" The golden-armored saintess clenched her fists tightly, her mind filled with doubts... This woman's sword intent and demonic aura were too strong, yet she had never seen this person in the sacred hall's records.

Sword Demon remained silent, yet the sword intent emanating from his body grew ever more chilling.

The golden-armored saintess's voice turned cold, carrying a hint of threat: "Since you know the Holy Temple's strength, you should understand the consequences of being our enemy! Is it worth risking your life for someone unrelated?"

Sword Demon remained silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up into the depths of the void, a distant hatred flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Fool, the Holy Temple has forgotten my old subordinates from the Demonic Sect all these years... Back then, the Holy Temple was nothing but ants clinging to life under the iron cavalry of my Demonic Sect. Do you even deserve to talk about the price before me?"

Demonic Sect? !
The golden-armored saintess's pupils contracted sharply, her brows furrowed, and then she shook her head and sneered: "So you're just a remnant of the Demonic Sect. No wonder you're so stubborn!"

"You're only realizing it now?" Sword Fiend's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his tone icy and chilling. "Fool!"

After she finished speaking, her figure suddenly became ethereal, disappearing from the spot like an invisible sword light!
*Sizzle...!*
A piercing sound of space tearing rang out, and the figure of the Sword Demon appeared behind the Golden Armor Saintess. The sword intent at his fingertips condensed into a tangible form and stabbed straight at her vital point in the back!
The golden-armored saintess's expression was ferocious, and the lightning energy within her body burned wildly, transforming into violent lightning as she turned around to meet the attack!

Boom! Boom boom! Boom boom!
Terrifying energy collisions erupted one after another, lightning and sword intent intertwined, tearing the sky apart. The surrounding golden pillars were shaken by the aftershocks and cracked inch by inch, and huge craters collapsed in the clouds and ground!
On the other side, Dao Sha and the Holy Lord of Annihilation were still locked in a standoff, their energies surging and forming an invisible barrier, neither daring to make a move easily.

The Lord of Annihilation kept his gaze fixed on Ling Xiao. Seeing that Ling Xiao's aura was rising at a visible speed, the solemnity in his eyes grew even stronger, and there was even a trace of undisguised fear... The scene of Ling Xiao instantly killing the angel illusion just now kept flashing through his mind like a leech, and he could not get rid of it.

That means that if Ling Xiao wanted to, he also had the ability to kill him instantly!

He quietly raised his eyes to look at the dome, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the divine lines on his palm, his heart burning with anxiety: Why have the Holy Temple reinforcements and that watcher not arrived yet?

Just then, Dao Sha's voice suddenly rang out in Ling Xiao's mind, his tone as cold as ice: "Be careful, the aura of that 'monitor' has locked onto this area, and it is probably already on its way!"

Surveillance!
Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of surprise crossing them, but he quickly regained his composure. Although the current battle situation favored the Overlord Empire, the Holy Temple was clearly stalling for time. Once reinforcements and the observers arrived, the situation would instantly reverse!

The Holy Temple can afford to drag this out, but Ling Xiao can't!

He slowly stood up. Although his aura had not fully recovered, it had already gathered a chilling killing intent. His gaze was like a drawn blade, suddenly shooting towards the distant Lord of Annihilation!
The moment the Holy Lord of Annihilation was locked onto by Ling Xiao's gaze, which was filled with a chilling killing intent, alarm bells rang in his heart, and his hair stood on end. Without thinking, he retreated a hundred feet, and golden light surged around his body like a blazing sun. Layer upon layer of golden shields instantly condensed, and he was on high alert!
He dared not be careless in the slightest when it came to this boy who had repeatedly created miracles!

Ling Xiao's face gradually contorted as the remaining demonic energy within his body surged wildly into his palm. Dark light burst forth from his palm, and a needle-shaped magic weapon, entirely black and covered with eerie demonic patterns, slowly emerged. The needle was shrouded in a chilling aura of death, and it was none other than the first supreme treasure that once shook the Bai Ze Continent... the World-Destroying Demon Needle!
