"You... broke through?" Old Crow suddenly asked in surprise. He remembered that a month ago, Ou Luan was only at the seventh level of Hunyuan Realm. He did not expect that in just one month, he would break through again and reach the level of Hunyuan Realm.
The eighth realm.
This speed is really shocking.
Ou Luan sat in the dark secret room with a sarcastic sneer on his lips.
He gently stroked his Dantian, which was still slightly hot after the breakthrough, and said with disdain in his tone: "It's just a small breakthrough. This kind of progress is not worth mentioning for me, a genius of the Ou family of the Southern Territory Holy Church.
"
He raised his head, stared at the old crow sharply, and asked coldly: "I heard that Ling Xiao has a little girl named Ling Bi who is already in the martial soul realm before she is seventeen years old? What about this?
Is it serious?"
Old Crow nodded, with a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes: "That's true, but that girl is a little special. The masters protect her secrets very well, but I know that there is some kind of powerful power hidden in her."
Ou Luan sneered disdainfully: "Special? It's just some tricks. Ling Xiao thinks he can compete with me with just one girl? It's really ridiculous."
He stood up suddenly, and a cold breath emanated from him, making the entire secret room seem to be shrouded in darkness.
His eyes were stern and he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, Ling Xiao must die! His existence is an intolerable shame to me."
Old Crow was shocked by Ou Luan's momentum. He took a step back and said with a trembling voice: "You... you actually practiced the 'Tian Yang Magic'!"
Ou Luan laughed proudly, with a cruel light shining in his eyes: "Yes, it is the Tianyang Magic! This is the skill that I have worked hard to obtain. With it, I can easily increase my strength to the level of chaos.
The peak of the Yuan realm, or even higher. Ling Xiao, just wait and see, I will come to take your life soon!"
His words were full of cruelty and arrogance, which made people shudder.
The old crow's old and heavy eyelids slowly lowered, closing his eyes that seemed to be able to see everything. His heart was filled with complex emotions, as if he was weighing an unknown possibility.
Perhaps, if Ou Luan and Ling Xiao could really have a life-and-death duel in a one-on-one situation, then Ou Luan would really be able to defeat Ling Xiao.
That would also be a relief for him, as he no longer had to live in Ling Xiao's shadow.
Old Crow knows very well that Ling Xiao's strength is extraordinary, he is extremely talented, and he has a strong backing like Tuobatian behind him.
However, he also understood that once the two truly stood on the stage of life and death, it would be a true showdown of strength without any intervention from outside forces.
Ling Xiao may no longer be able to rely on Tuobatian's protection and can only rely on his own strength to deal with Ou Luan's challenges.
This thought kept echoing in Old Crow's mind, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated. He knew that this duel was crucial to him, and it was also the key to getting rid of fear and regaining freedom.
Therefore, he prayed silently, hoping that this duel would go as he expected, giving Ou Luan a chance to show his true strength and win this victory.
Seeing that the usually cunning and gloomy face of Old Crow fell into silence at this moment, Ou Luan felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
He took a deep breath and turned to Bai Lian beside him with piercing eyes. There was an unquestionable determination in his voice:
"Bai Lian, go find Ling Xiao and write a letter of challenge for me. Tell him that I, Ou Luan, invite him to the world's most solemn stage of life and death for a showdown. This showdown is not only about the relationship between me and him.
The grievances between each other are also an explanation to all members of the Tianxiahui."
Ou Luan paused, and his tone became more firm: "In addition, this matter must be spread throughout the Tianxia Association, so that every member is aware of this upcoming decisive battle. I want Ling Xiao to know that this is not something he can easily avoid.
It’s a challenge, but a fateful battle that he must face.”
Speaking of this, Ou Luan's eyes flashed with a fierce look, as if he wanted to pour all his resentment and anger into this letter of challenge.
He clenched his fists tightly, as if he could already feel the fierce collision with Ling Xiao. This battle was not only the defense of his personal honor, but also the venting of the resentment and anger that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.
"Bai Lian, you must personally hand this letter of challenge into Ling Xiao's hands so that he has nowhere to escape and cannot avoid." Ou Luan's voice was low and powerful, full of unquestionable determination.
He believed that as long as the battle went on as scheduled, he would be able to defeat Ling Xiao and prove his strength and worth.
"Okay..." Bai Lian sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice. She knew that Ou Luan's decision was irreversible, and she could not change his mind no matter how much she tried to persuade him.
This woman, who has always been known for her calmness and rationality, had to choose to compromise when faced with Ou Luan's firm determination.
Bai Lian understood in her heart that Ou Luan's resentment towards Ling Xiao did not disappear overnight. The grudges between them had been entangled for a long time, and Ling Xiao's talent and strength really made Ou Luan feel more pressure.
However, Ou Luan is not a person who gives up easily. He is eager to prove his strength through a one-on-one contest.
Although Bai Lian was full of worries about this upcoming showdown, she also understood that she could not change anything.
She could only pray silently, hoping that this battle would be as fair and just as possible.
She believed that if it was really a one-on-one contest, Ou Luan would be able to defeat Ling Xiao with his strength and wisdom.
Recalling her previous duel with Ling Xiao, Bai Lian couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in her heart.
That failure dealt a heavy blow to their team, and Ling Xiao's talent and strength were truly astonishing.
However, she also knew clearly that Ling Xiao's victory was not entirely dependent on his own strength. The existence of that little girl Ling Bi undoubtedly added a lot of help to Ling Xiao.
But even so, Bai Lian still has full confidence in Ou Ran. She knows that Ou Ran is a smart and tough person, and he will definitely exert his full strength in this battle.
And she herself will fully support Ou Luan and cheer him up. No matter what the outcome is, she will face it together with Ou Luan.
Old Crow's eyes lingered on Bai Lian's retreating back for a moment, and then he turned and left the place.
He knew in his heart that this upcoming battle was beyond his control, and he was unwilling to get too involved in it.
After all, the outcome of this battle will directly determine the fate of Ou Luan and Ling Xiao, and he is just a bystander.
