Chapter 14872 The Art of Talk
Ling Xiao was terrified, knowing that Xiang Ying intended to kill him. He roared fiercely, his voice shaking the surroundings: "Shatter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rapidly formed hand seals, his fingertips radiating spiritual light, and countless intricate and mysterious holy runes instantly formed.
The runes intertwined and converged around him, instantly forming a terrifying array of holy runes that radiated immense holy power.
In just a moment, the distorted space in front of him began to crumble into pieces, and the force binding his body also weakened.
He already possessed exceptional talent in the area of sacred runes, and now it has become even more refined, surpassing even his martial arts cultivation by a significant margin!
In terms of martial prowess, he was no match for Xiang Ying. Although he wouldn't be instantly killed, he probably wouldn't last more than three hundred rounds and would eventually be suppressed by Xiang Ying.
Seeing this from afar, Xiang Ying was not angry at all. Instead, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he let out three cold laughs:
"Good, good, good! I didn't expect you to know the art of holy runes, and your skill is quite high. You've given me a pleasant surprise!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly waved her right hand. It seemed like a light flick, but it contained immense power.
With that gentle wave, the space in front of Ling Xiao, which had just been restored, began to shatter layer by layer, and terrifying power enveloped him once again, attempting to completely crush him.
But Ling Xiao reacted extremely quickly, rapidly forming hand seals again, and the Saint Rune Crystal and Saint Rune Stone within his body instantly began to circulate.
Countless sacred runes burst forth from his fingertips once more, rapidly gathering and reforming into a sacred rune array to resist Xiang Ying's attack and firmly defend his own line of defense.
He possessed a large quantity of Holy Rune Crystals and Holy Rune Stones, allowing him to continuously unleash Holy Rune Arrays without expending his own divine power. This was his only asset in the current situation, enabling him to contend with Xiang Ying.
Seeing this, Ling Bi was extremely anxious. She knew that it was extremely difficult for Ling Xiao to support himself alone. Without hesitation, she moved and transformed into a sharp sword light, slashing towards Xiang Ying with a whooshing sound!
This sword strike, imbued with all her spiritual power, was incredibly sharp, designed to distract Xiang Ying and alleviate the pressure on Ling Xiao!
However, Xiang Ying's eyes were full of disdain. He didn't even glance at Ling Bi. He simply stomped his left foot lightly, and the moment his foot touched the ground...
boom!!!
A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from the ground, forming an invisible wall of energy. Ling Bi's sword light collided with the wall of energy and shattered instantly, its sharp sword intent dissipating completely.
Ling Bi's body was also violently thrown away by this force, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Completely defenseless!
The gap between the two was too vast; they were not even on the same level. Ling Bi's all-out attack was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Xiang Ying, utterly insignificant.
In the distance, Ling Bi struggled to steady herself. She looked down at her body, her face turning deathly pale...
At this moment, her body was covered with fine cracks, and her divine power was in disarray. She had obviously suffered a serious injury, and even her physical body was almost shattered by Xiang Ying's residual power.
Ling Xiao, on the other hand, fared much better.
Although he had used up more than a dozen Saint Rune Crystals and Saint Rune Stones to defend against Xiang Ying's attack, he was unharmed thanks to the protection of the Saint Rune Array. Only the Saint Rune Power within his body was circulating somewhat rapidly.
At this moment, Ling Bi staggered to Ling Xiao's side. She raised her head, looked at Xiang Ying in the distance who still had a calm expression, and said in a weak but extremely solemn voice:
"Brother, this woman is extremely powerful; we are no match for her at all!"
Ling Xiao nodded slowly, his expression grave. He was well aware of the disparity between them and said in a deep voice:
"She is indeed very strong. If we continue to fight head-on, we will be suppressed by her sooner or later. We can only think of other ways to find a way to escape or find her weakness!"
Ling Bi turned to look at Ling Xiao, her eyes full of trust, and said firmly, "Brother, I believe in you. Watch what you've got!"
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, took a deep breath to suppress his impatience, looked up at Xiang Ying not far away, and spoke slowly in a calm tone:
"Miss Xiang Ying, before you make your move, I'd like to say a few words. After that, you can do whatever you want with me, okay?"
Before Xiang Ying could answer, Wu Guang, who was still seriously injured and standing not far from her, suddenly spoke up to dissuade her, his tone urgent and solemn: "Lord Xiang, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Xiang Ying turned to look at Wu Guang, his eyes showing a hint of impatience. Wu Guang quickly said in a deep voice:
"This man is eloquent and deceitful, and is most skilled at using cunning and trickery. If you listen to his nonsense, he will only buy you time and give you a chance to escape. It would be better to kill him directly to prevent future troubles!"
Xiang Ying stared intently at Wu Guang, his eyes icy, his tone carrying a hint of rebellion and domineering:
"You won't let him speak? I'll make him speak anyway! It's not your place to tell me what to do! Let him speak, I want to see what kind of nonsense he can come up with!"
Wu Guang felt a violent twitch in his face, his lips twitching uncontrollably, and he cursed inwardly:
Is this woman out of her mind? She's completely unreasonable! Instead of eliminating the potential trouble, she insists on playing this cat-and-mouse game with this guy. She's utterly insane!
Even though he cursed Xiang Ying a thousand times in his heart, he didn't dare utter a single word out loud...
He knew better than anyone that this eagle was eccentric and violent, and that it didn't respect anyone except the eight powerful figures of the Silent Court.
Even if he were a veteran powerhouse of the Silent Extinction Court, if he were to offend her even slightly, his fate would be even worse than that of Lin Hao and Yin Wujiu!
Xiang Ying ignored Wu Guang's ugly expression and turned to look at Ling Xiao, his eyes filled with a playful mockery.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao quickly spoke, his tone carrying a deliberate provocation, yet also containing a subtle, almost imperceptible, test:
"Miss Xiang Ying, killing me is nothing special; it's just bullying the weak. If you're so capable, go kill the person behind me. Do you dare?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ying chuckled, his eyes crinkling with amusement, and said in a slightly teasing tone, "Oh? Are you trying to provoke me? Deliberately using such words to lure me into a trap?"
Ling Xiao made no attempt to hide his feelings, nodding frankly, his tone becoming increasingly firm: "That's right, I'm trying to provoke you! Miss Xiang Ying, do you dare to come with me to meet the person behind me? Do you dare to take a gamble with me?"
Xiang Ying burst into loud laughter, a hearty laugh filled with an arrogant air of looking down upon the world. He clapped his hands and said:
"You know what, you've really provoked me! Perfect, I want to see just how capable the person who trained such a cunning brat is. If you're going to do something, do it cleanly and decisively, nip it in the bud. Lead the way!"
Ling Xiao glanced at Xiang Ying to make sure she hadn't changed her mind, then turned to Xia Ming and Ling Bi beside him, his tone grave and urgent:
"You all go into the magic needle space first. I will call you out after I have resolved this matter!"
