When it comes to "Peak of the Martial Soul Realm", these four words are no different from golden signs in the martial arts world. They represent that the warrior has reached the realm of perfection and is only one step away from the legendary road to heaven.
Everyone here is not an ordinary person. Their strength is comparable to, or even worse than, Chen Yuan, who was killed by Ling Xiao in a shocking manner.
Jiang Xiruo's expression turned solemn in an instant, and she turned to look at Ling Xiao beside her, with both worry and trust in her eyes.
She whispered softly and told the origins of those strong men one by one, with a slight tremor in her voice: "Each of those four strong men in the Heaven-reaching Realm is enough to shake the wind and cloud, especially those
Two bald brothers, they come from the Ji family. The Ji family established their clan with martial arts. There are many strong men in the clan, and these two are the best among them. Their strength is unfathomable."
"As for the old man wearing a bamboo hat, he is another supreme elder of my Jiang family - Jiang Tai'an, Jiang Taishan's elder brother. He has been in seclusion all year round and rarely shows up, but his cultivation is on par with Jiang Taishan.
, and even exceeded it in some aspects. His appearance will undoubtedly make this confrontation more complicated and unpredictable."
Having said this, Jiang Xiruo paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to the long-haired young man, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes: "As for the long-haired young man, I'm really not very familiar with it. But judging from his clothes and the aura surrounding him,
Look, he is probably also a member of the Ji family."
"The dispute between the Ji family and the Jiang family has been around for a long time. Only the Ji family will spare no effort to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs. Other families may be more willing to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and look forward to benefiting from this dispute.
The fisherman will profit."
Jiang Tai'an's eyes were as sharp as a falcon. He first glanced at Uncle Hong coldly, and a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The laughter was mixed with a bit of sarcasm and provocation: "Hong Jun, Hong Jun, you have been so good these years."
You are getting better and better at playing, are you really planning to let this bastard of unknown origins live for personal gain, right?"
His tone was full of disdain and doubt about Uncle Hong's behavior, as if he had seen through Uncle Hong's deep inner struggle and helplessness.
Facing Jiang Tai'an's accusation, Uncle Hong's expression did not fluctuate much. He just responded calmly: "I, Hong Jun, have my own reasons for doing things, and you don't need to comment on me. What I decide is not yours."
Little Jiang Taian can interfere."
Although his words were calm, they revealed unquestionable firmness and majesty, as if he was silently declaring his position and principles.
After saying these words, Uncle Hong took a deep look at Ling Xiao. His eyes contained too many complex emotions - regret, helplessness, but also a subtle hint of encouragement and expectation.
Then, he sighed softly, as if to put an end to this irreparable fate, then turned around resolutely and left the scene with heavy steps.
When Jiang Tai'an saw this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile contained both mockery of Uncle Hong's departure and anticipation for the upcoming "good show".
He turned his gaze to Ling Xiao again, his eyes full of scrutiny and playfulness: "You little bastard, don't think that you can sit back and relax with that old guy Hong Jun protecting you. I, Jiang Tai'an, haven't gotten what I want.
Yes. I know that old guy Hong Jun has some pity for you, but as long as you are willing to tell the truth, I may consider letting you suffer less."
His words were full of threats and temptations, as if he was giving Ling Xiao a "choice": either succumb to his power and tell the so-called "truth"; or prepare for his next "torture"
.
At this moment, Ling Xiao's figure moved slightly, as if there was an invisible force pushing him, making him take a step forward involuntarily. His eyes were like torches, looking directly at Jiang Tai'an, with a challenging look in his eyes.
Sparks, and unquestionable determination.
He stretched out his finger and pointed it gently at Jiang Tai'an, as if he was using an ancient and solemn ritual to declare his determination. Then, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was both confidence and a little bit in that smile.
Unruly, he hooked his hand and said in a provocative and slightly joking tone: "If you dare, challenge me to a duel!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole scene froze instantly, as if even the air was still. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
In their understanding, although Ling Xiao was extremely talented and powerful, he was still just a warrior in the Hunyuan realm, and there was an insurmountable gap between him and the strong men in the Tongtian realm.
At this moment, he actually took the initiative to challenge a strong man in the Tongtian Realm to a duel. This is undoubtedly a fantasy and makes people laugh.
The word "single challenge?" echoed in the hearts of everyone, with a bit of absurdity and unbelievability. They seemed to see a young man who didn't know the heights of the world, challenging an impossible task.
Jiang Tai'an himself was also slightly startled, and then a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He never expected that this seemingly weak young man would have such courage to challenge a strong man like him in the Heaven Realm.
.
In his eyes, Ling Xiao's move was undoubtedly self-humiliating and was simply ridiculous.
"What qualifications do you have to challenge me?" Jiang Tai'an's voice was filled with arrogance and disdain. He seemed to be looking down at this ignorant young man with a superior attitude.
An inexplicable anger surged in his heart. This feeling was like being despised and looked down upon, which made him feel very unhappy.
He never imagined that he, a strong man in the Heaven Realm, would be challenged by a young boy. This was undoubtedly a shame and an insult to him.
Before his words could reach his lips, a more hurried figure had already passed in front of everyone. It was another old man from the Jiang family camp. His face was old and ferocious, and his eyes flashed with extreme contempt and anger towards Ling Xiao.
.
He almost roared, his finger almost poked the tip of Ling Xiao's nose, and cursed loudly: "You little bastard! How dare you, a mere ant in the Hunyuan realm, dare to challenge me to a duel with the Supreme Elder? I, I, can only rely on myself.
With just my power, I can make you disappear into ashes in this world and die without a burial place!"
The old man's voice echoed in the air, with unquestionable majesty and severity, as if even the air was trembling. However, facing this sudden insult and threat, Ling Xiao's face not only showed no trace of fear, but instead showed a hint of fear.
A calm smile.
In that smile, there was both compassion for the old man's ignorance and absolute confidence in his own strength.
Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath, thinking that a fierce conflict was about to break out, Ling Xiao's actions exceeded everyone's expectations.
