Chapter 14653 Qin Mu is deposed
Luo Qiu's expression changed drastically, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting and spoke with increasing respect: "Lord Wang Jing!"
Wang Jing waved his hand, too lazy to exchange pleasantries with him, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm:
"Originally, I wouldn't have bothered with today's events. But your Sword Star Holy Hall is, after all, a force under the Holy Hall's name, yet you were toyed with and slaughtered by a bunch of rogue cultivators from the mountains. And you, on the contrary, didn't even flinch. You're truly a disgrace to the Holy Hall!"
Luo Qiu gave a helpless, bitter smile, a hint of bitterness appearing at the corner of her mouth.
How could he not want revenge? How could he not feel aggrieved?
Unfortunately, he was all alone and no match for the powerful group from Broken Boundary Mountain! Rather than staying and fighting head-on, it was better to leave first and make further plans later.
So he simply kept quiet. He'd already lost face, so what did it matter if he lost it again?
Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Jing turned his gaze to Lin Muying, his eyes cold and his words piercing: "You keep defending Ling Xiao and trying to distract others. It seems that your relationship with Ling Xiao is quite unusual!"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, then his voice suddenly rose, tinged with mockery: "The rest of you are a bunch of idiots! Ling Xiao has pulled this trick more than once. Sending the sword out and then stealing it back without a sound!"
"Don't say he's too weak to do it!" Wang Jing snorted coldly, his tone resolute. "Some things in this world are never measured by strength! Besides, that kid is full of treasures and possesses many strange methods. Hiding a treasure would be a piece of cake for him."
"Forget it." Wang Jing waved his hand, his tone tinged with impatience. "Originally, I was too lazy to bother with these trivial matters, but since you have repeatedly challenged the dignity of the Holy Temple, today, I have no choice but to stand up for the Sword Star Holy Temple!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they were about to argue when Wang Jing suddenly attacked!
boom!
He didn't move, but simply struck out with his palm from a distance.
Zhao Kuo, who was the first to be hit, didn't even have time to react before his protective aura shattered. His physical body was smashed into pieces by a single palm strike, leaving only a wisp of his remnant soul screaming and struggling in terror in the void.
"Don't tell me our Holy Temple didn't take the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword!" Wang Jing's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the deepest hell. "Even if we really did take it, you piece of trash have no right to question it! So, die!"
He then waved his hand gently.
An invisible force swept by, and Zhao Kuo's remnant soul was instantly crushed to dust, leaving not even a trace!
Then, Wang Jing slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on Qin Mu above the clouds, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his lips: "You seem quite relaxed, do you really think you can get away with provoking the Holy Temple without paying the price?"
The next moment, Wang Jing made his move again!
This time, he didn't even get up; he merely twitched his fingertips slightly.
Qin Mu's pupils constricted sharply, and the hairs on his body stood on end. A shadow of death instantly enveloped his entire body! He tried to dodge and resist, but to his horror, he discovered that his body was firmly bound by a terrifying force, and he couldn't even move a single finger!
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Qin Mu's physical body was shattered by a palm strike from a distance, and blood and bits of flesh splattered everywhere, filling the sky.
Qin Mu's remnant soul was terrified, trembling in the void, unable to utter even a single word of begging for mercy.
"I won't kill you." Wang Jing sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "I just want you to see for yourself whether you're an arrogant and foolish idiot!"
Immediately, he turned to look at Luo Qiu beside him, his voice indifferent yet carrying an undeniable command: "What are you waiting for? Kill everyone except Qin Mu! Anyone who dares to provoke the Holy Temple must die!"
"Yes!"
Luo Qiu's face lit up with joy, and a hint of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
Without Qin Mu as the biggest threat, he could easily kill those people!
Before he finished speaking, he made a sudden move, drawing his long sword and transforming it into a streak of azure light, which rushed straight towards the expert from Breaking Boundaries Mountain!
In the blink of an eye, all but Qin Mu's remnant soul of the dozen or so warriors who had participated in the siege of the Sword Star Temple were killed, leaving no trace of their bodies!
“Go find that Ling Xiao.” Wang Jing looked down at Luo Qiu and said calmly, his voice revealing no emotion. “He definitely knows the whereabouts of the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword. This is your Sword Star Holy Hall’s chance to prove yourself.”
"Yes, sir!" Luo Qiu quickly cupped his hands in greeting, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the void.
With the intelligence network of the Sword Star Sanctuary, finding Ling Xiao would not be difficult.
Wang Jing used Luo Qiu as a pawn simply because he knew Ling Xiao was cunning and might have powerful backers. Luo Qiu was merely a cannon fodder he pushed out to test Ling Xiao's strength.
He was naturally also somewhat worried, as Ling Xiao's backer was stronger than his own.
……
Deep within the secret mountain range, Lingxiao remained seated cross-legged.
He had been sitting there for more than ten days, his body covered with withered leaves and dust, motionless, like an ancient stone sculpture.
悟！
He wanted to enter the legendary realm of "breaking through the barriers," and the only way was through enlightenment!
What is "momentum"?
This question had been lingering in his mind for far too long, so long that he had almost forgotten the passage of time.
Just then, Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze falling precisely on the crevice in the rock to his right.
There, a tiny, inconspicuous brown seed lies buried deep in the soil, covered by a thick layer of mud and gravel, never to see the light of day.
Ling Xiao stared intently at the seed, even softening his breathing.
About half an hour later, the hard ground suddenly arched slightly.
Click.
A very faint cracking sound rang out, and the seed's outer shell actually split open with a crack. Immediately afterwards, a delicate, tender green shoot, supporting the heavy shell of soil, slowly and tremblingly emerged, stretching its delicate leaves to greet the faint light.
Upon seeing this scene, Ling Xiao was suddenly stunned.
Immediately, an indescribable ecstasy, like a volcanic eruption, surged into my heart!
He got it!
He finally understood!
Boom!
Two completely different demonic energies suddenly surged out of his body! One was domineering and incomparable, burning everything in its path; the other was profound and unpredictable, devouring heaven and earth! As soon as these two demonic energies appeared, they exploded with a deafening roar, as if breaking free from some invisible restraint!
Breaking the momentum?
In reality, it is a new life emerging from its shell!
Without destruction, there can be no construction; power arises from the mind!
The moment his thoughts were clear, the demonic aura surrounding Ling Xiao began to surge wildly, like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly erupting, with terrifying power!
The fierce demonic intent transformed into tangible ripples, rapidly spreading in all directions. Wherever it passed, a continuous low roar echoed in the air, as if countless demonic souls were howling!
