Chapter 14774 Cooperation
In the distance, Jiang Yuhua, with her severed arm, clutched her wound, her face pale, yet her eyes remained sharp as she stared intently in the direction where Ling Xiao had appeared, a hint of anger and fear flashing in them.
Just as she was about to reprimand him, Ling Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared again, and another sharp sword light instantly attacked her in front of her, the sword wind howling, carrying the power to destroy the world!
Seeing this, Jiang Yuhua narrowed her eyes, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
With a light touch of her toes on the ground, a dazzling azure light burst forth from beneath her feet. Her figure retreated like a ghost, and by the time Ling Xiao's longsword struck, her figure had vanished without a trace, leaving only a faint afterimage of azure light.
Ling Xiao's sword missed its mark, but without pausing, his figure disappeared into the void. He once again activated the power of the Saint Rune to conceal himself, searching for Jiang Yuhua's whereabouts.
The two disappeared into the deep mountains at the same time, leaving no trace. Only the lingering smell of blood, the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and the residual force of the clashing sword energies in the air testified to the thrilling battle that had just taken place.
However, at that moment, the surrounding space suddenly began to fluctuate violently, the earth trembled slightly, and countless golden holy runes quietly emerged from beneath the ground.
Like living things, they quickly intertwined and coiled, forming a huge sacred rune array that completely enveloped the entire heart of the deep mountains!
In a certain void, Jiang Yuhua's figure slowly appeared. She clutched her bleeding left arm, her face changed drastically, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Sacred runes...this is a high-level sacred rune array!"
"Advanced Sacred Rune Array!"
Before Jiang Yuhua's exclamation had subsided, the void in front of her suddenly tore open, revealing a hideous spatial rift.
A dazzling sword light shot out from the crack, as fast as lightning, with a sharp momentum that could pierce the sky. In an instant, it was already in front of her, leaving her no way to avoid it!
What a fast sword!
Jiang Yuhua was shocked. Her pupils contracted suddenly. Without thinking, she pushed her jade hand forward and a smooth, lustrous mid-grade holy rune stone in her palm shone brightly.
The surface of the sacred rune stone is engraved with a powerful "shield" character, with rich sacred rune power flowing between the characters, exuding a heavy defensive aura.
Buzz...!
The moment Ling Xiao's deadly sword light pierced through, the character "Shield" on the Sacred Stone suddenly detached from the stone and transformed into a huge shield of light, firmly blocking Jiang Yuhua's path. Sacred runes intertwined on the shield, shining brightly, seemingly indestructible.
boom!!!
A deafening roar erupted as Lingxiao's sword light pierced the light shield, unleashing a surge of immense holy power and killing intent that swept across the area like a tsunami.
The seemingly indestructible light shield shattered after only a moment under Ling Xiao's sword light, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.
The enormous impact, carried by the aftershocks of the light shield, slammed into Jiang Yuhua. She was thrown back several feet like a kite with a broken string, staggering as she clutched the wound on her severed arm, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth, her face growing increasingly pale.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuhua was utterly horrified... She never expected that Ling Xiao's sword strike would be so powerful as to easily break through her defensive intermediate-grade holy rune stone!
This sacred rune stone was one of her trump cards for survival. It had extremely strong defensive capabilities and was difficult for ordinary mid-stage True Realm martial artists to break through. However, in Ling Xiao's hands, it was as fragile as paper.
Lingxiao's sword!
Jiang Yuhua's gaze was fixed on the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword in Ling Xiao's hand. Her expression became extremely solemn, and her eyes were full of fear... This sword was definitely not an ordinary divine weapon!
In terms of sheer power, it is in no way inferior to the legendary Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, and may even be slightly superior. No wonder Ling Xiao's combat strength is so formidable.
Seeing Ling Xiao slightly raise his wrist, the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword once again unleashed a sharp sword light, clearly intending to press his advantage and give her no chance to breathe. Jiang Yuhua hurriedly spoke, her tone tinged with panic and compromise:
"Young Master Ling, please forgive my offensive and arrogant words! I did not mean to threaten you, please show mercy!"
However, Ling Xiao remained indifferent, showing no intention of stopping. His sword light grew increasingly fierce as he approached Jiang Yuhua step by step, his killing intent remaining undiminished...
What he hates most is being threatened, and Jiang Yuhua's words just now have crossed his bottom line.
This time, Jiang Yuhua did not dodge or activate any defensive measures. She simply stood quietly in place, watching Ling Xiao's sword light approach little by little.
When the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword in Ling Xiao's hand was only half a foot away from her brow, and the sharp sword energy was already stinging her skin, she finally gritted her teeth and said urgently:
"I'll give you high-grade holy rune stones! One isn't enough, I'll give you two! Just stop!"
Ling Xiao's sword suddenly stopped.
The sword tip hovered above Jiang Yuhua's brow, its sharp aura still lingering. He looked down at Jiang Yuhua, his tone icy and devoid of any emotion: "Give it to me!"
Jiang Yuhua took a deep breath, suppressing her panic, and said in a deep voice, "The high-grade holy rune stone is not on me. I need to take you back to our base before I can get it for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Xiao's sword suddenly thrust forward half an inch, the sharp tip piercing the skin between her eyebrows, and a trickle of blood seeped out.
Jiang Yuhua's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said:
"I'm not lying to you! I really can give it to you! As long as you come back with me, I will immediately give you the high-grade holy rune stone. There is absolutely no falsehood in my words!"
Ling Xiao slowly sheathed his sword, the light of the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword gradually receding. He glanced coldly at Jiang Yuhua, his tone filled with sarcasm: "Are you trying to make empty promises to me? You think you can make me believe you with just words?"
Jiang Yuhua wiped the blood from between her eyebrows, took a deep breath, and said with a firm look in her eyes:
“I mean what I say! High-grade holy rune stones are precious, but my Jiang family would never stoop to deceiving you with them. Moreover, I dare not deceive you again... Your strength far exceeds my expectations, and I have no ability to contend with you.”
She paused, raised her head, looked directly at Ling Xiao, and said in a more sincere tone, "We have no intention of being your enemy, we only want to cooperate with you!"
Believe me, our alliance will greatly benefit you. The forces behind us can provide you with the resources you need and offer assistance in your fight against the Silent Court and in disrupting the situation beyond the realms.
Ling Xiao looked at Jiang Yuhua, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, his tone still cold, but with a hint of softening:
"Cooperation is fine, but I hate being threatened. I can overlook your threatening words just now, but if there is a next time, I will show no mercy."
Jiang Yuhua nodded quickly, relieved: "I understand! I will never say such things again, and I will never threaten you again!"
Only now did she truly realize that she had seriously underestimated Ling Xiao's strength!
