Chapter 14660 Assassination
The waters of Broken Boundary Mountain are far deeper than they appear. At this moment, many reclusive old monsters are still choosing to observe. If the Sword Star Holy Hall truly intends to disregard everything and completely annihilate Broken Boundary Mountain, those people will definitely not sit idly by.
After all, the ancient passage deep within the Broken Boundary Mountain that leads to the "outside the boundary" is the foundation that countless ancestors sacrificed their lives for, and it cannot be lost.
“The Sword Star Sanctuary made two fatal mistakes,” Zhang Lingyu analyzed in a low voice. “First, they shouldn’t have listed the entire Broken Realm Mountain as an enemy, forcing everyone to share a common hatred; second, they underestimated the strength of Broken Realm Mountain and their determination to fight to the death.”
Lin Muying suddenly spoke up, adding, "There's a third one."
"Oh?" Zhang Lingyu turned to look at her.
"Their biggest mistake was underestimating Ling Xiao. That's the real variable lurking in the shadows." Lin Muying's eyes were deep, and her tone was firm.
Lingxiao.
The image of that upright young man in the blue robe flashed through Zhang Lingyu's mind. He appeared peaceful and harmless, but in reality, he was meticulous and resourceful, with a multitude of methods, completely different from ordinary martial artists. To deal with such a person, one must either remain still or strike decisively and kill him instantly, otherwise, there will inevitably be future troubles.
Others might not know, but she and Lin Muying could vaguely guess that the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword was most likely still in Ling Xiao's hands! Even if it wasn't, it was probably under his control.
"How do you think this matter will ultimately end?" Lin Muying suddenly asked.
Zhang Lingyu looked back at the battlefield, her brows furrowed.
"It's difficult. The war has begun, the blood feud has been settled, and both sides are in a bind. If they fight to the death, it will inevitably result in mutual destruction, a price that even the Sword Star Sanctuary cannot easily bear. But now, can we just stop as we please?"
"What is Ling Xiao doing right now?" Lin Muying asked again.
Zhang Lingyu's lips curled slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness: "He's probably secretly enjoying this golden opportunity to reap the benefits without lifting a finger."
Lin Muying shook her head slightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes: "This sly one... knows how to take advantage of situations."
……
Just as the battle between Broken Boundary Mountain and Sword Star Temple raged fiercely under the starry sky, with blood flowing like a river, Ling Xiao, in the quiet room of the Bamboo House, had reached the most crucial moment of his breakthrough.
The battles and disturbances of the outside world seemed to be isolated in another world, with no one coming to bother them.
After refining the "Emperor Pill," the aura within his body was already surging like a boiling river, just one step away from the Emperor Realm.
At this moment, he was completely focused, guiding the explosive yet incredibly pure fire energy within the "Demon Orb" slowly into the spiritual vortex of his dantian.
boom!!!
The quiet room suddenly trembled, the entire bamboo house buzzed, and wood chips fell from the window frames.
An aura a hundred times more powerful and vast than before erupted from Ling Xiao's body! The sounds of wind and thunder faintly echoed around him, and his robes fluttered and rustled even without wind.
Breakthrough in realm, it's a natural progression!
Not only that, but the demonic intent he had nurtured for many years also surged, becoming increasingly solid and terrifying. With a slight thought, a black sphere formed purely from icy demonic intent floated in his palm, slowly rotating and radiating a chilling pressure.
At this moment, his cultivation level had stabilized at the third level of the Emperor Realm! His martial arts comprehension had reached a new level, and his demonic arts were flowing more smoothly and effortlessly. With his trump cards and control over "momentum," he had the power to fight even against a newly ascended Realm Lord, and was even confident of killing him!
If one's cultivation level is insufficient, one can make up for it with external objects and strategies; now that his cultivation level has skyrocketed and his foundation has greatly increased, there are very few people in the entire Broken Realm Mountain who can steadily suppress him!
Ling Xiao looked down at the pulsating sphere of demonic energy in his palm, a cold smile slowly curving his lips.
"The time has come."
He stood up, his aura suddenly receding and returning to calm. He pushed open the door and stepped out, his figure disappearing into the bamboo shadows of the courtyard. The next moment, he transformed into a streak of azure light and vanished beyond the vast horizon of Broken Boundary Mountain.
The final battle, the real final battle, is about to begin!
In the starry sky at the edge of Broken Boundary Mountain, the fierce battle between the powerhouses of Broken Boundary Mountain and the elites of Sword Star Holy Hall has reached a fever pitch.
At this moment, three powerful figures from the Broken Boundary Mountain side have fallen one after another, their blood staining a large area of the void, and severed limbs and broken arms flying everywhere, making the battle extremely fierce.
Although all eight members of the Sword Star Sanctuary were injured and their breathing was slightly disordered, none of them had been killed, and their swordplay remained fierce and unparalleled.
The outcome of the battle is already clear.
When fighting among those of the same realm, these sword cultivators from the Guardian Hall, who specialize in conquest, possess combat power that surpasses that of ordinary martial artists, thanks to their exquisite swordsmanship and deadly sword formations.
Even Qin Mu, a top talent of Breaking Boundaries Mountain, was gradually finding himself struggling against Li Cangshan. Each time his bronze halberd blocked the dark sword light, his tiger's mouth went numb, his arms ached, and his blood surged within him.
*Pfft!*
The crisp sound of a blade piercing flesh shattered the sounds of battle, and yet another head, accompanied by frozen horror, shot into the sky! Warm blood exploded in the weightless starry sky, congealing into strings of terrifying scarlet blood beads that floated slowly.
Breaking the Boundary Mountain, another great general has fallen!
Qin Mu's face was ashen, his teeth clenched, and his heart felt as heavy as if a mountain were pressing down on it. If the fighting continued like this, Breaking Boundary Mountain would likely suffer a severe blow, its foundation shaken!
Just when things were at their most critical, a sudden change occurred!
In the distance, beside a sword cultivator from the Sword Star Temple, a barely perceptible ripple spread across the void like water.
This swordsman had been fighting for many years, and his fighting instincts were ingrained in his bones. Instantly, his hair stood on end. Without thinking, he turned around and slashed horizontally with his sword. The blade brought a piercing sound of cutting through the air, but it only struck a void!
next moment.
scoff!
His right arm, which held the sword, was severed at the shoulder, and blood gushed out like a fountain! Immediately afterward, he felt a chill on his neck, and before he could even register what was happening, his vision was plunged into eternal darkness.
The whole process was as fast as lightning, like a hallucination. Only when the headless corpse floated up stiffly, blood gushing out, did everyone suddenly realize what was happening and gasp in horror!
Who? Who made the move?
Li Cangshan's eyes suddenly sharpened like knives, sweeping across the entire area. His divine sense spread out like a net, inch by inch searching the void, but he couldn't detect even the slightest abnormal aura, as if the attack just now was just a strange accident.
"It's Ling Xiao...it must be that Ling Xiao!" Luo Qiu's pupils shrank sharply, his voice trembling with tension as he shouted, "This boy has somehow learned a strange secret technique, and combined with special holy runes, he can perfectly conceal his figure and aura, moving like a ghost!"
Lingxiao!
Li Cangshan's eyes flashed even colder, his killing intent almost tangible. This was no ordinary demonic cultivator; he was clearly a top-tier assassin, ruthless, unpredictable, and impossible to defend against!
Qin Mu, who was in the distance, felt his heart suddenly settle down, only to be gripped by a chill.
He instantly realized that it was Ling Xiao who made the move, but the method was too terrifying!
It should be noted that the elite guards behind Li Cangshan all possessed combat strength comparable to that of a World Lord, yet they were so easily and decisively killed.
