Chapter 14428 You Underestimate Me
"Hahahahaha..."
The Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and let out a deep and magnetic laugh.
The laughter was like rolling thunder, echoing between heaven and earth. Yet, the laughter contained endless majesty and oppression, like an invisible mountain pressing down on people, making it hard to breathe.
"Win?"
Ling Xiao, you are indeed adorably naive.
I ask you, what does your Overlord Empire have to fight against my Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary?
Is it you, all alone with a single sword, like that lone warrior, attempting to fight against an army of thousands with your own strength?
Or is it based on those so-called geniuses behind you who haven't even grown up yet? They're nothing but a bunch of greenhorns who can't even stand firm in front of my majesty.
In my eyes, you are nothing but ants trying to shake a tree, utterly overestimating yourselves!
Ling Xiao's smile remained unchanged, as firm as a rock, but his eyes grew sharper, like two sharp swords that could pierce through all illusions and threats: "If we fight, we may die, our blood will be spilled on the spot in this cruel battle, and our bodies and souls will perish; but if we don't fight, we are destined to be enslaved and devoured by you, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, which is also a dead end!"
Since that's the case, why shouldn't I fight to the death?
Even if there's a bottomless abyss ahead, I'll jump down and see if there's a road to heaven hidden below!
If you were in that situation, what would you choose?
It's better to die standing than to live on your knees!
I, Ling Xiao, would rather die standing than live on my knees!
The Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord gazed silently at Ling Xiao, his eyes as deep as two dark pools, seemingly capable of sucking in one's soul.
His eyes held a scrutinizing gaze, tinged with regret, as he slowly spoke: "I once gave you a chance, a way out, a smooth path to a higher realm."
As long as you are willing to submit to my Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall, I will spare no effort to help you break through your current constraints, allowing you to soar to new heights on the path of martial arts and become a top being in this world.
It's a pity you refused; you refused the glory and power that were within your grasp.
Ling Xiao stood still, his posture as upright as a pine tree. He lightly flicked non-existent dust off his blue robe, his movements graceful and unrestrained, as if nothing around him could affect him.
His tone was resolute, like the clash of metal, carrying an undeniable firmness: "I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"
This is the vow I made since childhood, the path I uphold, and the martial spirit of Lingxiao!
Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, even if I have to face someone as powerful as you, I will never back down, I will never surrender!
Tianyuan Saint Lord nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his originally serious face, and the admiration in his eyes deepened.
He said slowly, "You have backbone!"
No wonder he's the one who made that Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword recognize him as its master.
That sword is a supreme treasure of the demonic path, unruly and arrogant. The fact that it recognizes you is enough to show that you possess the pride and strength that a top-tier demonic cultivator should have!
"Very good, I'm starting to admire you."
However, he immediately changed his tone, becoming calm yet full of undeniable power, as if nothing in the world could defy his will: "Since that's the case, then so be it."
I won't attack you immediately. Once we've dealt with the biggest variable behind you, you'll be able to stand tall and face your end.
Then you'll understand that your persistence and resistance were all in vain.
Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed sharply, like two sharp daggers, flashing with a cold light.
A strong sense of unease welled up within him, and he had a vague suspicion, but he still couldn't help asking, "The person behind me?!"
His voice was low and hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.
The Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord smiled calmly, a hint of mockery in his smile, as if everything was under his control.
He bluntly stated, "Why pretend not to know?"
Isn't that the woman who has been by your side all year round, the one wearing a moon-colored dress?
She exudes a mysterious aura, which I can sense. She is extremely important to you. Once you get rid of her, you will be like an eagle that has lost its wings, unable to soar through the sky any longer.
"Then, what will you have to contend with me?"
Ling Xiao's previously calm expression suddenly darkened, like the gloomy sky before a storm, instantly filled with heavy gloom.
A chilling killing intent emanated uncontrollably from his body, like tangible frost, freezing the surrounding air.
His voice also became somewhat ferocious, as if it were a roar coming from the deepest hell: "One person does the deed, one person takes the blame!"
Your Tianyuan Sanctuary's target is me, the Overlord Empire!
Since I, Ling Xiao, dare to stand here and confront you, I have already prepared to bear all the consequences.
Come at me with whatever means you have!
Why go to see her?
She is just an innocent woman, and this matter has nothing to do with her!
I'm warning you, don't mess with her!
"If you dare to lay a finger on her, I, Ling Xiao, will make your Tianyuan Holy Hall pay a terrible price. Even if it costs me my life, I will fight you to the death!"
The Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord watched with great interest as Ling Xiao's expression changed in an instant. His eyes were like those of a sharp eagle, as if he could see through the most hidden corners of Ling Xiao's heart.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a playful smile on his face, and slowly said, "Ling Xiao, is your reaction right now a genuine expression of anger and worry? The anger is like a burning flame, almost consuming you, and the worry is like a heavy boulder, making it hard for you to breathe; or... is it just something you're doing for my benefit?"
They wanted to use this to confuse me and make me change my mind.
Actually, deep down you really want us to go find her, right?
Perhaps you believe that only by finding her can we unleash her true potential, allowing her to break through her limitations in dire circumstances and become an asset in your fight against my Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary.
His gaze seemed to pierce through people's hearts, going straight into the depths of Ling Xiao's soul.
The ferocity on Ling Xiao's face quickly faded, like a gust of wind blowing away the dark clouds in the sky, restoring it to a calm and undisturbed state.
His calm face was like a bottomless, icy pool, making it impossible to discern his depths or guess what he was thinking at that moment.
He simply replied with two words: "Guess."
The voice was so calm and even, as if it were talking about something that had nothing to do with the speaker.
The Heavenly Abyss Saint Lord chuckled lightly, his laughter crisp yet tinged with mockery. He slowly shook his head and said, "It seems you have almost blind faith in her strength."
Do you think she can remain unscathed in this huge storm and fight against my Tianyuan Sanctuary on her own?
Unfortunately, you underestimated me, and even more so, you underestimated the foundation and power that my Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall has accumulated over countless years.
My Heavenly Abyss Holy Hall has accumulated countless years of experience, with numerous experts and magical treasures. How could she, a mere woman, possibly contend with it?
Before me, she is nothing but an ant, easily crushed at any moment.
