When Jiang Xiqing heard this, she paused slightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed in her determined eyes. She looked at Ling Xiao's anxious and determined face, and she couldn't help but feel complicated emotions surging in her heart.
She understood Ling Xiao's worries and his reluctance to see herself hurt. But similarly, she could not give up the idea of protecting him. That was her responsibility and obligation as an elder and a partner.
"Are you sure...can I really stop?" There was a tremor in Jiang Xiqing's voice, which was the fear of unknown consequences and the wavering of self-persistence.
"Sure! Firm! And sure!" Ling Xiao answered without hesitation, his eyes full of trust and encouragement. He believed that Jiang Xiqing could make the right choice, and that the two of them could face the situation together.
dilemma.
After receiving Ling Xiao's affirmative reply, Jiang Xiqing finally made up her mind. She took a deep breath, and the breath in her body gradually calmed down, and the crazy surge of power began to slowly subside.
She looked at Ling Xiao, a touch of tenderness and gratitude flashed in her eyes. She knew that the choice at this moment was not only for herself, but also for their common future.
"Okay!" Jiang Xiqing uttered two words softly, and then she flashed and disappeared instantly. When she appeared again, she appeared in front of Ji Lang like a ghost.
She waved the long sword in her hand, and a bright sword light cut through the sky, flying Ji Lang away with lightning speed.
Ji Lang's figure drew a parabola in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground. There was a blood mark on his chest that was deep enough to see the bones. The blood gurgled out and dyed his clothes red.
This moment of change shocked everyone. They looked at Jiang Xiqing's strong figure and fierce swordsmanship in disbelief, and their hearts were filled with awe and fear.
"Come and help me, this girl's strength is not trivial, I can't compete with it alone!" Ji Lang's voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness, which echoed throughout the battlefield.
He knew very well that Jiang Xiqing's strength was no longer what it used to be after taking advantage of the Soul Locking Pearl, and he might not be able to sustain it for too long on his own.
Before he finished speaking, a tall, muscular man appeared in response. It was Ji Xiong, the seventh-ranked master of the Ji family. He was holding a huge bear cauldron with complicated carvings on its body.
The rune exudes a faint aura and is obviously a rare treasure.
The addition of Ji Xiong undoubtedly increased Ji Lang's chances of winning.
The two quickly exchanged a look and launched an offensive in tacit understanding. Ji Lang was agile and shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, constantly looking for Jiang Xiqing's flaws; while Ji Xiong relied on the power of Xiong Ding to attack Jiang Xiong head-on.
Jiang Xiqing's attacks shook the space slightly with every collision, showing his amazing strength and defense.
Although Ji Lang and Ji Xiong joined forces, they could only barely resist Jiang Xiqing who used the Soul Locking Pearl and could not gain the upper hand. Jiang Xiqing's swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and each sword contained amazing power and speed.
It makes people hard to guard against.
"Not bad, not bad. I really didn't expect that you would need to use Jiang Xiqing's power to deal with members of my Ji family. What else can you, a so-called genius, do?" Ji Tianyan looked on coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Meaning. His tone was full of disdain and contempt, as if Ling Xiao was a joke.
However, just as he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the crowd of the Ji family.
Immediately afterwards, a young man fell to the ground, and blood flowed from his chest, staining the surrounding land red. His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of reluctance and horror. It was obvious that he had lost the breath of life.
Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the fallen man was the biological son of Ji Tianyan, the young master of the Ji family, and a leader among the younger generation of the Ji family. His death was tragic.
, which moved everyone present.
Ji Tianyan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood stunned on the spot, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of disbelief and grief.
"Haha, Ji Tianyan, as the head of the family, you can't even protect your own flesh and blood. With such incompetence, aren't you also a waste?"
A sneer curled up at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth. The laughter was mixed with sarcasm and disdain, as if it was the most direct mockery of Ji Tianyan. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts and look directly into the depths of Ji Tianyan's heart.
of pain and anger.
In his eyes, these so-called geniuses are just superficial bubbles that can burst at the slightest touch.
Their strength was not worth mentioning in front of him, and they were not even qualified to confront him head-on. Ling Xiao's confidence and strength allowed him to maintain an aloof attitude throughout this battle.
When Ji Tianyan heard this, his face instantly turned livid, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, showing endless hatred and murderous intent towards Ling Xiao.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and blood dripped down his fingers, but it did not alleviate the anger and grief in his heart at all. He wished he could immediately cut Ling Xiao into pieces to avenge his son.
However, reason finally defeated impulse. Ji Tianyan knew very well that although he could kill Ling Xiao, he must remain calm at this critical moment to prevent the mysterious man in black robe from suddenly taking action and disrupting their plan.
.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, his eyes were like a torch, and he scanned the surrounding Ji family children, as if looking for a suitable person to avenge him.
"Master, please allow me to go and avenge the young master!" At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice sounded, breaking the silence around him.
This person is none other than Ji Hu, the sixth-ranked member of the Ji family. He is thin and has cunning eyes, like a fox ready to hunt at any time. He is holding a fox tripod inlaid with strange patterns, which is transformed by his martial spirit.
, contains a power that cannot be underestimated.
Although Ji Hu's combat prowess is not as shocking as that of other Ji family masters, he is known for his cunning.
In the battle of life and death, he can always rely on his resourcefulness and calculation to make his opponents step into the traps he has set without knowing it. Many opponents who are stronger than him are ultimately defeated by him. Therefore,
Ji Hu's appearance undoubtedly increased the Ji family's chances of winning.
When Ji Tianyan heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He was well aware of Ji Hu's abilities and believed that he could complete this arduous task.
"Okay, Ji Hu, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll take the trouble." Ji Tianyan nodded slightly. Although his voice was calm, he could not hide the complex emotions in his heart. His eyes were deep, as if at this moment, all his hopes were gone.
