Chapter 14758 The King of Pitfalls Strikes Again
As he spoke, Huang Jifeng slowly turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surrounding void. He spread out his divine sense, carefully searching for Ling Xiao's whereabouts.
But all around was silent. Apart from their presence, there was no other movement, and Ling Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
Huang Jifeng's face darkened, and his tone turned icy as he shouted into the void:
"Ling Xiao, I know you're extremely good at hiding, so stop hiding! If you want to know the whereabouts of your fiancée, Xiao Lianzhu, then show yourself immediately! I know you won't just stand by and watch her get hurt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent fluctuation suddenly appeared in the void opposite him, and a dark spatial rift slowly opened, from which a man dressed in a blue robe walked out.
With an upright posture, a sharp temperament, and a powerful energy fluctuation surrounding him, it was none other than Ling Xiao.
At this moment, he was not wearing a mask, nor had he changed his appearance. He appeared with his true face, his eyes cold, and his gaze calmly fell on Huang Jifeng.
Huang Jifeng stared intently at Ling Xiao, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but he still maintained his composure, speaking slowly with a hint of seduction in his tone: "Ling Xiao, you've finally shown yourself. Do you want to know the whereabouts of your fiancée, Xiao Lianzhu?"
Ling Xiao nodded slowly, his tone calm and devoid of any extra emotion: "Where is she?"
Huang Jifeng's lips curled into a calculating smile, his tone laced with greed and coercion: "It's simple, hand over the divine artifact you possess, and I will immediately tell you Xiao Lianzhu's whereabouts. I will never go back on my word!"
As he spoke, he secretly clenched his right hand, and the energy around him quietly circulated to its limit, ready to make his move.
He knew in his heart that Ling Xiao cherished Xiao Lianzhu as his life, but the divine object was the foundation of Ling Xiao's life, and he would never hand it over easily. As long as Ling Xiao refused, they could take the opportunity to kill him.
However, to Huang Jifeng's utter surprise, Ling Xiao suddenly flicked his finger, and a jet-black longsword flew out and landed steadily in the void in front of him.
The scabbard was shrouded in dense demonic energy; it was none other than the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword, coveted by everyone!
Upon seeing this, Huang Jifeng, who was originally poised to attack, suddenly froze, completely stunned, his face filled with disbelief... Ling Xiao actually handed it over? He just handed over the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword so easily?
Long Xingtian, Shen Jianqiu, Shen Luoyan, and others, who were hiding in the shadows, were also stunned, their expressions varied, and their eyes were full of astonishment and doubt.
He handed it over just like that? Are you kidding me? Ling Xiao's personality has always been decisive and resilient; how could he so easily hand over his most precious treasure? Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?
Seeing Huang Jifeng's astonished expression, Ling Xiao remained calm and composed, asking again, "Where is she? I have already handed over the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword; you should fulfill your promise."
Huang Jifeng's lips twitched slightly, his heart filled with turmoil. The development of events was completely beyond his expectations, leaving him somewhat at a loss for what to do.
He originally thought that Ling Xiao would fight to the death and that they would need a fierce battle to obtain the sword. However, he did not expect that Ling Xiao would hand it over so readily. This made him uneasy and he felt that there was a trap involved.
Without thinking twice, Huang Jifeng suddenly realized that no matter what Ling Xiao's conspiracy was, the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword was right in front of him, and he could not let it slip away!
He suddenly roared, "Attack! Kill Ling Xiao!"
However, after his angry shout, the surroundings remained silent and there was no movement whatsoever. Long Xingtian and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, showed no intention of showing themselves or making a move.
Upon seeing this, Huang Jifeng's face instantly darkened, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition surged into his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly understood... Now that the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword was in his hands, the purpose of everyone's trip was for this treasure, not simply to kill Ling Xiao.
Now that the sword is in his hands, why would Long Xingtian and the others in the shadows attack Ling Xiao again? Their target has long since shifted from Ling Xiao to the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword in his hand!
Huang Jifeng knew clearly that at this moment, everyone present was pointing their finger at him, not Ling Xiao.
He had to change his target as soon as possible; otherwise, if Long Xingtian and the others joined forces, he would be no match for them and would end up dying and having his sword taken away.
Just as Huang Jifeng was about to speak, attempting to sow discord and divert everyone's attention, Ling Xiao suddenly looked horrified and shouted into the void, "Oh no! You've set up an ambush! They're from outside the realm!"
After saying that, he didn't give Huang Jifeng a chance to react. He turned around and fled, his energy running at its maximum. His figure was like a streak of light, and his speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the end of the starry sky and was completely gone.
Huang Jifeng stood frozen in place, his face filled with astonishment and confusion… He escaped already? What happened? Why did Ling Xiao suddenly run away? And what was this ambush he mentioned?
As soon as Ling Xiao disappeared, Long Xingtian, Shen Jianqiu, Shen Luoyan, Jian Er, Xia Ren, and others emerged from the shadows, each with a different expression, their eyes fixed on the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword in Huang Jifeng's hand, a hint of greed flashing in their eyes.
The "Knife Maniac," who had previously fled in a sorry state, reappeared in the arena, still with that calm demeanor, but with a hint of calculation in his eyes.
Long Xingtian spoke first, his gaze fixed on Huang Jifeng, his tone tinged with doubt and dissatisfaction, and he said in a deep voice:
"Brother Huang, this matter is quite strange. How could Ling Xiao hand over the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword so easily? And what exactly is this ambush he mentioned?"
At this moment, "Knife Maniac" suddenly spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying a hint of mystery in his tone:
"Everyone, do you know why Ling Xiao values the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword so much?"
This is not only one of the ten most famous swords on the Bai Ze Continent, but also the key to unlocking the Treasure Vault of the Ten Thousand Demon Lord. Legend has it that the Treasure Vault of the Ten Thousand Demon Lord contains countless treasures of the Demon Lord, and once opened, one can obtain endless opportunities and power..."
Upon hearing "Knife Madman's" words, Huang Jifeng's expression changed drastically. He turned sharply to look at him, his eyes icy cold, and his tone filled with anger: "What do you mean! You're deliberately trying to sow discord!"
"Knife Maniac" stiffened, instinctively taking several feet back, a hint of fear on his face. He dared not continue speaking, but his eyes clearly held a hint of something, and his gaze toward the crowd became more meaningful.
Seeing this, Huang Jifeng's anger intensified, and he shouted angrily, "You dare to sow discord and disturb people's peace! I'll kill you!"
"Knife Maniac" retreated in fear, his face pale and silent, looking cowardly and afraid of trouble, which deepened everyone's doubts... If Huang Jifeng wasn't guilty, why would he be so agitated?
