Ling Xiao took advantage of the perfect opportunity when the old man was severely injured by Liezu's blow. He flashed and appeared next to the old man like a ghost. With a flash of cold light in his hand, a sharp long knife drew a perfect arc. In an instant,
Cut off the old man's head.
Blood sprayed out, dyeing the surrounding air red, and the old man's body quickly shriveled up the moment he lost his head, as if some invisible force had drained away the essence of life.
Ling Xiao watched this scene expressionlessly, and then activated the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique, and streams of black air surged out of his body, wrapping the old man's body in it.
With a low humming sound, the old man's body gradually shrank, and finally turned into a black mist, which was swallowed by Ling Xiao's mouth.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and there seemed to be a force in his body that was ready to move. A gap had quietly opened in the door to breakthrough, indicating that he was about to usher in a new realm.
"It feels like I will be promoted soon..." Ling Xiao whispered to himself, his eyes shining with anticipation and excitement. He knew that once he broke through, his strength would make a qualitative leap. By then, in this powerful
In a world where people are respected, he will have a more stable position.
However, just as Ling Xiao was immersed in the joy of his impending breakthrough, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart. He raised his head suddenly, his eyes like a torch, and locked in one direction. There, stood a man, dressed in black,
Properly cut, it outlines a slender figure.
The man has an extraordinary handsome appearance. He wears a strange golden crown on his head, which shines faintly, adding a bit of noble temperament to him. He holds an exquisite folding fan in his hand and shakes it gently. He is covered with a soft
The fur looks gentle and elegant without losing the luxury of the nobility.
Ling Xiao's brows frowned slightly, and he could feel that this man who suddenly appeared was by no means an ordinary person. An invisible pressure filled the air, making the surrounding atmosphere even more tense.
"Are you coming to kill me and seize the treasure too?" Ling Xiao's eyes were filled with a hint of teasing, and he looked at the young man in black with a playful smile on his lips.
His eyes lingered on the young man's attire for a moment. The shining golden crown, the gentle swing of the folding fan, and the fur shawl all revealed the dignity and extraordinaryness of the young man's identity. "Looking at what you are wearing, I guess your life will be fine. What are you doing?"
Why take such a risk? In these troubled times, it is hard to find a stable life."
When the young man heard this, a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in that smile, "No, no, no, I am not interested in your treasures. What really interests me is you."
His eyes wandered over Ling Xiao, with a bit of scrutiny and appreciation, as if he was evaluating a precious work of art.
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the young man's answer to be so unexpected, "Oh?" There was a bit of curiosity and playfulness in his tone, "This does make me a little interested, tell me, what do you think about me?
What are people interested in?”
The young man smiled and shook his head. He did not answer directly, but changed the subject, "I wonder if my brother is interested in joining my organization? With us, you may be able to find your own stage and realize your ambitions and ideals.
"
His tone was sincere and full of expectation, as if he was showing Ling Xiao a whole new world.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. There was a bit of relief and appreciation in the laughter, "Join your organization? Haha, there are still discerning people in this world. They don't just come to steal my treasures."
people."
His eyes shone with confidence and expectation, as if he had already seen his future in the new organization.
Seeing this, the young man nodded slightly, his eyes full of sincerity, "As long as brother agrees, we will do our best to protect you from worries, so that you will no longer be alone in the pursuit of strength." His tone was firm and powerful, as if
He was making a promise to Ling Xiao, a promise about the future and dreams.
There was a bit of amusement in Ling Xiao's smile. His eyes swept over the young man's face, as if he was looking for some kind of answer, "What kind of organization are you? Those who can enter my Ling Xiao's eyes can't be based on their status."
Nobody."
His tone was relaxed, but there was a subtle sharpness in his eyes, as if he was testing the young man's bottom line.
The young man shook his head gently, with a complicated light shining in his deep eyes, "Sorry, I can't say it for the time being. But please believe that our organization is by no means a thing in a pool. It has a foundation and power that you can't imagine.
Joining us will be a new beginning for you."
There was a hint of sincerity and temptation in his tone, as if he was describing a future full of infinite possibilities to Ling Xiao.
However, Ling Xiao's smile gradually faded, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, "Haha, you don't even want to reveal the name of the organization, but you want me to blindly join. Do you think I am so easily convinced? In
In this world where the strong is respected, there is no cooperation without trust.
Besides, I don’t need anyone to protect me. My Ling Xiao sword is my best shield. Rather than entrusting my safety to a person who dare not even reveal his true identity, I might as well pray to God.
At least it won't betray me."
The young man's expression suddenly became serious. He put away his previous smile, and his deep eyes revealed a bit of firmness and unyielding. "So, you are unwilling to join?" There was a hint in his tone.
He felt a bit disappointed and unwilling, as if Ling Xiao's rejection was a heavy blow to him.
Ling Xiao waved his hand without hesitation, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.
Please collect the book!
"Go away! In this world full of strong men, I only believe in my own strength. Since I'm not here to seize the treasure, I don't have to kill you, but don't let me hear your empty nonsense again! My way
, I walk by myself, I don’t need anyone’s guidance or protection.”
The young man stared at Ling Xiao, and the expression on his face gradually solidified, and finally turned into a cold one, like the biting cold wind in winter, making people shudder. His eyes flashed with complex emotions, including unwillingness and anger, and more
It is a re-evaluation of Ling Xiao's strength.
Suddenly, the young man's figure seemed to blend into the air, leaving only a faint afterimage. When he reappeared, he was standing in front of Ling Xiao at a speed that was staggering.
His right palm suddenly condensed, as if he had gathered all the power in the world, and then shot it out with a bang, bringing up a strong wind and tearing apart the surrounding air.
"Boom!"
With a deafening loud noise, the space in front of the young man's palm seemed to be torn apart by an invisible big hand. The broken space fragments were like sharp blades, flying in all directions. The terrifying force squeezed towards Ling Xiao from all directions, as if to crush him.
