As the energy continued to gather and flow, Jiang Xiu's body began to undergo subtle changes. A terrifying power quietly awakened in her body and quickly spread to her limbs and bones.
The smile on her face gradually solidified, replaced by a complex expression of disbelief and horror. She seemed to feel the terrible fate that was about to befall herself.
"What you said just now really touched my heart. Although the road to martial arts is broad, it is not the only one. You believe that you can control others with the sacred marks. Did you ever expect that everything in this world has two sides, and the sacred marks can be used by you?
Can it also become a weapon in the hands of others that can kill you? If you are unwilling to tell the truth, then I will let you experience for yourself how heavy the price behind this is."
Ling Xiao's voice was calm and cold, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jiang Xiu's heart.
Jiang Xiu's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and just as he was about to retort, an indescribable feeling of terror suddenly swept through his body.
It felt like thousands of tiny ants, no, more accurately, countless sharp needles, gnawing crazily and piercing every inch of her skin and every cell.
Pain, unprecedented pain, surged in like a tide, drowning her in endless darkness and despair.
She screamed and struggled, but all her efforts seemed so feeble. The sacred pattern seemed to have integrated with her and became a part of her body, releasing its frightening power wantonly.
Sweat and tears intertwined, blurring her vision, but she could still clearly feel the torment and torture coming from the depths of her soul.
"Let me go! What on earth did you do to me! What kind of magic is this! If you dare to hurt me at all, my father will never let you go! He is the supreme elder of the Jiang family, and his cultivation is
It's unfathomable, and it would be easy to kill you! If you know what's going on, quickly remove these damn holy marks from my body, otherwise..."
Jiang Xiu's voice trembled with pain. She tried to use her father's reputation to intimidate Ling Xiao, but her tone involuntarily revealed a hint of despair and helplessness.
However, Ling Xiao just smiled coldly, and that smile was full of disdain and ridicule.
"The Supreme Elder of the Jiang family? Maybe he is indeed very powerful, but so what? In this continent, strength is the last word. If you really think that he can save you from fire and water, then you are too naive.
.As for the holy pattern on your body, it is just a tool I use to teach you a lesson. If you want it to stop, it is very simple, as long as you are willing to say the spell to unlock the chain."
When Jiang Xiu heard this, she felt even more angry and unwilling. She never thought that she would be reduced to such a situation, let alone that she would be so easily controlled by a young man. But at this moment, she could only endure the pain.
, there is no other way.
The feeling that life was worse than death almost made her collapse. She even began to imagine that if she could just die, she might be free. But the reality was cruel. She didn't even have the right to die, so she could only live in this endless world.
Struggling in torture.
When Ling Xiao heard this, a playful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile contained both disdain for Jiang Xiu's threat and absolute confidence in his own strength.
He secretly thought in his heart that although the Supreme Elder of the Jiang family held a high and powerful position, in his eyes, Ling Xiao was just ashes that were about to become the smoke of the past.
He has a more powerful backing - the Demon Soul King. This mysterious existence is enough to make anyone who dares to challenge him tremble. But even putting aside this relationship, Ling Xiao also knows that his strength is no longer great.
He is not afraid of any challenge that is within the reach of ordinary people.
??????????.??????
He gently loosened his grip, as if releasing a prey that was about to fall into a trap.
Jiang Xiu's body instantly lost its support and fell heavily to the ground. The severe pain was intertwined with the previous torture of the sacred marks, making her twitch uncontrollably and let out a shrill scream. The sound was full of
Despair and helplessness echoed hysterically in the empty air.
Ling Xiao watched coldly, letting Jiang Xiu struggle in pain. His voice was cold and firm: "Jiang Xiu, your choice determines your fate. As long as you are willing to untie my mother's chains, I am willing to untie you immediately.
The pain on your body. But if you choose to confront me head-on, then I, Ling Xiao, will play with you to the end today to see whether your bones are stronger or my methods are more ruthless."
Every word of these words was like a cold blade, cutting through Jiang Xiu's psychological defense. She tried hard to raise her head, but could only barely open her eyes blurred by tears, and looked at the man standing in front of her, as if he was in control.
The man who holds everything.
A hoarse and broken voice came from her throat, a cry torn by despair and pain: "Untie me...untie me...quickly...untie me quickly...I...I'll help you...
Help you release your mother... please..."
Her voice was full of pleading and compromise, which was an instinctive desire for life and a helpless surrender to reality.
At this moment, Jiang Xiu finally realized that no matter how arrogant and conceited she had been, she was nothing more than an ant-like existence in the face of absolute strength. And Ling Xiao was the strong man who could easily play with her.
By.
Ling Xiao's sneer echoed in the air. It was a kind of contempt for the enemy's desperate struggle, and also confidence in his absolute control. He did not immediately give Jiang Xiu relief, but deliberately paused for a moment, as if he was enjoying this
The pleasure that power brings.
Finally, he waved his hand gently, and the holy patterns that were raging in Jiang Xiu's body seemed to have received an invisible order and instantly stopped their frightening movement. But even so, those holy patterns did not completely disappear.
Like a latent undercurrent, dormant quietly under Jiang Xiu's skin, ready to be awakened again at any time.
Jiang Xiu felt the sudden relief, as if she had been pulled back to the world from the edge of hell. She collapsed on the ground, as if all her strength had been taken away, but then she got up again with strength.
Her movements were slow and difficult, and each step was accompanied by a trembling body, which was a deep imprint of the painful memory just now.
When she finally stood firm and looked at Ling Xiao, in addition to deep fear, there was also a trace of indescribable complex emotions in her eyes.
With trembling hands, she took out an exquisite jade pendant from her arms. The jade pendant exuded a faint warm luster and was obviously not an ordinary piece.
Jiang Xiu held the jade pendant tightly, as if it was her only support at the moment. She struggled to stand upright. Although her steps were staggering, her eyes were extremely firm, and she walked towards Jiang Xiruo step by step.
At this moment, Jiang Xiruo was filled with unspeakable shock and emotion. She looked at her seventeen-year-old son, her eyes full of wisdom and determination, which made her feel both proud and distressed.
