Hearing this, Ji Hu raised a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth, a smile that was a mixture of confidence and cunning.
He slowly walked out of the crowd, his steps steady and powerful, and every step seemed to announce his arrival to Ling Xiao. His eyes were directly locked on Ling Xiao, and in his eyes there was recognition of Ling Xiao's strength, and a hint of the impending defeat.
It beats the excitement and anticipation.
"Boy, you are indeed a rare genius. Your strength and talent are astonishing." Ji Hu's voice was low and magnetic, but there was a chill in his words that could not be ignored.
"But it's a pity that you are too public, you have offended too many people, and you don't understand the principle of keeping a low profile and biding your time. If you could be like those truly strong people, know how to endure and wait, perhaps today's outcome would be very different.
"
When Ling Xiao heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile was full of disdain and ridicule for Ji Hu's remarks.
"If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time here talking about these meaningless nonsense." His voice was cold and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of provocation to Ji Hu.
and contempt.
Ji Hu didn't seem to care about Ling Xiao's provocation, but instead laughed, and the laughter was full of pride and arrogance.
"Hahaha, do you think what I said is nonsense? Then you are totally wrong!" His laughter stopped suddenly, and his eyes instantly became sharp, "Take a good look around you, kid!"
As Ji Hu finished speaking, Ling Xiao's surroundings suddenly changed. On the originally empty ground, more than a dozen strange-shaped fox tripods appeared out of thin air.
These fox tripods are lifelike, as if they were transformed from real foxes. There is a groove on their backs, which contains blood-red liquid. The liquid is slowly evaporating, emitting a rich red smoke that quickly spreads.
, shrouding the entire space in a strange atmosphere.
The appearance of these fox tripods shocked everyone present. They retreated one after another, for fear of being injured by the strange smoke. Ling Xiao stood there with his eyes like a torch, staring closely at these fox tripods, secretly on guard.
.
He knew very well that these fox tripods were no ordinary people, and the smoke they emitted might contain some kind of deadly toxin or trap.
"Poison?" Ling Xiao frowned, a trace of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes. He quickly looked around, and the diffuse red smoke was like an invisible net, tightly wrapping him in it, and there was a smell in the air.
A strange and dangerous smell.
When Ji Hu saw this, a proud smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly approached Ling Xiao, with a bit of showoff and confidence in his steps.
"Poison? Haha, you are wrong. This is far more terrifying than poison. This is the red mist of illusion that I have spent countless efforts and exclusively researched. Once caught in it, the human mind will be invaded by the mist and produce irresistible hallucinations.
, and finally completely lost his combat effectiveness and was at my mercy."
His words revealed an almost crazy obsession, as if the illusionary red mist was not only his weapon, but also a work of art that he was proud of.
Ji Hu's eyes flashed with fanaticism. He enjoyed this feeling of being in control of everything, as if the whole world was trembling under his illusion.
"Why do you think I can occupy a place among the top ten masters of the Ji family, even ranking sixth? In terms of pure combat power, I may not be as good as Ji Jiao and others, but with this illusion red mist, I can defeat them
They are all beyond reach. In the realm of illusion, I am an invincible existence."
Ji Hu's voice was low and powerful, and every word struck people's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Ling Xiao stood there motionless, not even speaking, as if he had completely fallen into an illusion and couldn't extricate himself.
"Master, look at Ling Xiao, this is nothing more than that." Ji Hu turned to look at Ji Tianyan, with a victor's smile on his face, "Those legends about him now seem to be exaggerated. Kill.
He, for me, is a piece of cake."
"Well! Ji Hu, just give it a try. I, Ji Tianyan, hereby promise that I will go all out to monitor the mysterious man in black robes for you and ensure that he will not interfere with the battle between you and me at the critical moment.
"
Ji Tianyan's voice was calm and firm, and his eyes revealed his trust and support for Ji Hu, while also revealing his deep fear of the man in black robe.
"Take the order!" Ji Hu bowed slightly, with a confident smile on his face. He knew the importance of this battle and the responsibility he shouldered. So, he walked quickly towards Ling Xiao, every step looking so decisive and decisive.
Be bold.
When Ji Hu came to Ling Xiao's side, he already had a sharp dagger in his hand. The cold light flickered, reflecting his uncertain expression. He took a deep breath and prepared to launch a fatal blow to Ling Xiao's throat.
hit.
However, just at the moment he was about to take action, Ling Xiao's closed eyes suddenly opened. There was a cold light shining in those eyes, as if he could see into the heart and look directly into the depths of the soul.
This incident made Ji Hu's heart tremble, and the dagger in his hand trembled involuntarily. He never expected that Ling Xiao could stay awake in the red mist of his illusion, nor did he expect that he would suddenly wake up at this critical moment.
Open your eyes.
But Ji Hu is a master of the Ji family after all. He quickly adjusted his mentality and prepared to attack again.
However, he was still a step too slow after all. Before he could react, a violent God-killing Sword Intent and a bloodthirsty Sword Intent swept over like a violent storm and instantly penetrated into his mind.
.
These two completely different artistic conceptions collided fiercely in his mind, causing him to instantly fall into confusion and pain.
At this critical moment, Ling Xiao moved. His figure flashed and appeared in front of Ji Hu like a ghost. The long knife in his hand flashed with a cold light. He slashed out without mercy, and the light of the knife was like a dragon,
Unstoppable.
With just a soft "chi" sound, Ji Hu's throat was cut open with a shocking wound, and blood spurted out, staining his clothes red.
Feeling the sudden pain, Ji Hu suddenly woke up from his sluggish state. He subconsciously reached out to touch his throat, and the moisture and warmth coming from his fingertips made him feel unprecedented fear and despair.
He widened his eyes, pointed at Ling Xiao, and wanted to say something, but all he could make was a hoarse sound of "ho ho" in his throat. His mouth was already filled with blood and he could not spit out a complete word.
At this moment, Ji Hu finally understood that he had underestimated Ling Xiao. This seemingly young opponent actually possessed extraordinary strength and will. However, he was completely defeated in this battle.
"Haha, Ji Hu, Ji Hu, do you really think that your so-called illusion fog can do anything to me, Ling Xiao?" A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, and his eyes were full of ignorance and selfishness towards Ji Hu.
