Chapter 14746 The Death Sword
"I am the Sword of Death, a divine messenger of the Court of Annihilation. I've heard you are the strongest genius of this generation in the Realm of Annihilation. Do you dare to fight me? The kind that decides life and death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air suddenly froze, and a strong killing intent swept in all directions, making the soldiers of the Silent Court present gasp for breath.
The wind stopped, and even the malevolent aura in the world seemed to stand still, leaving only the cold glint of the sword blades and the tense standoff between the two men.
Ling Bi frowned slightly and subconsciously took a step forward, her expression showing some wariness. Although she knew that Ling Xiao was powerful, she did not dare to be careless. After all, the Mourning Sword was no ordinary person to become the Divine Envoy of the Annihilation Court.
Meng Haoqing sheathed his giant axe and slowly retreated to the side. His blood and qi had not yet calmed down, but his eyes flashed with intense anticipation.
In the battle just now, he had already tested the strength of the Death Gate Sword and knew that the opponent was no easy opponent. He took this opportunity to see just how powerful Ling Xiao, who had broken through to the lower-level master, was.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, his voice calm yet carrying an overwhelming confidence, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears: "Okay."
A single word, seemingly light and airy, yet carrying immense power.
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Xiao suddenly moved!
Without any fancy moves or unnecessary build-up, his figure flashed like a ghost, and the Bloodthirsty Blade was drawn in response. A blood-red light, condensed to the extreme, was like lightning piercing the darkness, with a sharp sound that tore through space, and instantly slashed towards the Death Gate Sword!
The pupils of the Sangmen Sword suddenly contracted, and an extreme fear surged in his heart. The speed and power of this strike were too fast and too strong, far exceeding his expectations!
He had no time to think and swung his sword with all his might to block the fatal blow!
Snap!
A crisp snapping sound rang out, and the longsword in Sangmen Sword's hand, like fragile glass, was instantly severed by the blood-red light, the break clean and smooth, leaving no room for struggle.
The blood-red light continued unabated, carrying an unstoppable force as it slashed straight across the forehead of the Death Sword, piercing through the back of the head and drawing out a jet of scalding blood!
"You...how could you..." Sangmenjian's eyes were filled with disbelief, his lips trembled, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't even utter a complete word. His body slowly fell down, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he completely stopped breathing.
Sold out instantly!
One move, just one move! The Divine Envoy of the Silent Court was instantly killed by Ling Xiao in one move!
The entire room fell silent!
The soldiers of the Silent Court, who had been on high alert, were now frozen in place, their pupils shrinking, their faces filled with horror, forgetting even to breathe, as if they had seen a ghost.
They never expected that their divine envoy would be killed so easily by Ling Xiao!
Meng Haoqing's pupils shrank sharply, and his whole body trembled. He had just fought three fierce battles with the Mourning Sword and was still unable to win completely, but Ling Xiao had killed him in one move. Was this the strength of a lower-level master?
The vast difference shocked him deeply.
Ling Bi smiled slightly, a hint of pride and relief flashing in her eyes. This was the Ling Xiao she knew, the Ling Xiao who could always create miracles and was always invincible.
Ling Xiao sheathed his sword with fluid, effortless movements, his gaze slowly turning towards the depths of the third level.
There, countless troops from the Silent Court stood ready, their auras heavy and their defenses tight, like an impregnable fortress.
Further away, a hazy, chaotic space could be vaguely seen, shrouded in mist and exuding an unfamiliar and terrifying aura—that was the outer realm!
"Can we get through?" Ling Xiao suddenly asked, his voice calm, but his eyes held a hint of inquiry as he looked at Xia Ming in his mind.
Xia Ming was silent for a moment, then spoke with a hint of seriousness:
"You want to go to the outer realms? It's more dangerous than you think, and it's full of people from the Silent Extinction Court, as well as powerful figures from other outer realm forces. If you're not careful, you'll be doomed."
"Since we're here, we should at least go and take a look."
Ling Xiao said calmly, with a hint of determination in his tone, "Don't worry, I have the blessing of the Holy Rune, which can conceal my aura. Even if I encounter a powerful opponent that I can't defeat, I can still escape safely with the help of the Holy Rune and the black mist."
Xia Ming pondered for a moment, his tone gradually becoming serious:
"Alright. But I must remind you, there is a group of powerful individuals outside the boundary who are trying to break the seal of the Silent Realm. They are using insidious methods, employing the corpses of ancient poisonous insects, which corrode the seal extremely quickly."
"If you can kill those who broke the seal, you might be able to buy some time for the Realm of Annihilation to prepare."
A glint flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, and his tone became even more resolute: "Then we must go!"
He turned to Ling Bi and Meng Haoqing, his tone carrying an undeniable warning: "You two stay here and guard the entrance to the teleportation array. Don't act rashly, and don't step outside the boundary."
"Brother Lingxiao!" Ling Bi stepped forward, her eyes filled with worry and urgency. "I'll go with you! The more people there are, the more we can help each other!"
“No.” Ling Xiao shook his head gently, his tone soft but firm. “I have a holy rune to conceal myself, so I can come and go as I please, but you don’t. If you go, not only will you not be of any help, but I will also have to be distracted to protect you. It would be a loss for me.”
Ling Bi bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes, but she knew that Ling Xiao was right. In the end, she nodded slowly, her voice choked with emotion: "Then you must be careful, and don't let anything happen to you. We'll wait for you to come back here."
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, reached out and gently rubbed Ling Bi's head, his tone gentle: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure swayed, and the black mist around him surged instantly, enveloping his figure and transforming into a dark stream of light, rushing straight towards the teleportation array like a ghost!
"Someone's trying to break through! Stop him!"
"Quick! Don't let him get away!"
The forces of the Silent Court instantly erupted in excitement. Countless soldiers reacted and unleashed their cultivation, sending waves of attacks crashing down on the dark mist.
There were flashes of swords, explosions of runes, and beams of energy, densely packed, covering all escape routes, their power overwhelming!
But the black mist was elusive, like a candle flickering in the wind, or a ghost moving about, skillfully avoiding all attacks and ignoring layers of blockade.
In the blink of an eye, they passed through the defenses of the Silent Court and plunged into the hazy, chaotic space outside the teleportation array, disappearing from sight.
"Damn it! Let him go!"
"Quickly! Report to the Lord of the Court immediately, saying that Ling Xiao has trespassed into the outer realm!"
Chaos reigned beside the teleportation array. The soldiers of the Silent Court were furious but helpless, and could only hurriedly send someone to report the news.
Ling Bi and Meng Haoqing stood quietly in place, their eyes fixed on the direction where Ling Xiao had disappeared, their expressions full of worry.
“I’ve fallen behind again.” Meng Haoqing looked at the gray space, a bitter smile on his lips, his tone filled with resentment. He had been cultivating desperately, trying to catch up with Ling Xiao, but the gap between them was only widening.
