Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14953 What a great field!

Chapter 14953 What a fine domain!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on that sword light.

The sword light reached half an inch from Ling Xiao's chest, but could not go any further, as if it was blocked by some kind of special energy.

Ling Xiao raised his head and smiled slightly: "Miss Long is really going all out. If I didn't have some skills, I would definitely be dead at your hands today."

That sword strike was indeed dangerous.

Although Ling Xiao tried his best to pretend that nothing was wrong, his face was still a little pale.

That woman is ruthless.

Long Muyu looked at him and sighed, "What a domain, what courage. You've taken my sword strike. I, Long Muyu, have never admired anyone, but I do have a little admiration for you!"

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood and qi within him, and smiled slightly: "Miss Long is too kind. Since I have accepted your sword strike, shouldn't it be your turn to accept my blade strike? After all, a battle is about give and take."

Long Muyu was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ling Xiao to make such a request. However, she was quite interested: "Alright! I want to see if your swordsmanship is as outstanding as your domain."

"Miss Long, be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

He activated the Blood Sacrifice Blade Technique once more. This time, he not only used his physical strength but also incorporated the speed of his Mind Blade technique into it, slashing towards Long Muyu!

In the distance, Long Muyu's eyes narrowed, and he dared not be careless.

Although she was confident, Ling Xiao's strength made her somewhat wary. If she wasn't careful, she might suffer an unexpected setback.

She raised her hand and thrust out a sword.

boom……!

The flashes of blades and swords clashed violently, and a violent shockwave swept in all directions.

However, the moment the two attacks collided, Ling Xiao's figure had already vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing this, the gray-robed man's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply, "He's running away! Stop him! We can't let him escape!"

Long Muyu subconsciously turned her head to look at the sky and, sure enough, found that Ling Xiao had taken the opportunity to slip away.

That guy is really cunning!

However, given her sword speed, if she were to strike now, she could completely stop Ling Xiao before he could escape far away, or even severely injure him.

Ling Xiao's speed was ultimately no match for her sword speed!

But she didn't move. She slowly loosened her grip on the sword hilt, her eyes showing no hesitation. Then she turned around and was about to leave.

"Miss Long, stop right there!"

Upon seeing this, the gray-robed man's face darkened considerably. He hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Long Muyu's path, his tone urgent and accusatory.

"Miss Long, do you know what you're doing? Ling Xiao is from the Hell Kingdom, an sworn enemy of your Heavenly Dragon Kingdom! How can you let him leave?"

Long Muyu glanced at him indifferently, her tone calm yet undeniably firm: "A respectable opponent, worthy of respect. Since I have promised him that I would let him go after he took one of my sword strikes, I will not go back on my word."

The gray-robed man stared intently at Long Muyu, his tone carrying a mixture of pleading and threat:

“Miss Long, do you know how much we paid to kill Ling Xiao? We mobilized countless informants, laid an inescapable trap, and even asked you to help us. If we just let him go, how can we explain it to the Black Death King?”

Long Muyu raised her hand and pointed to the distant horizon, her tone indifferent: "He has already fled towards the direction of the Silent Court. At his speed, he hasn't gone far yet. It shouldn't be too late for you to chase after him now."

The gray-robed man's face turned pale and then red. He knew that Long Muyu's mind was made up, and that continuing to pester her would be futile and might even offend the Tianlong Kingdom.

Left with no other choice, he could only glare fiercely in the direction Ling Xiao had fled, and grit his teeth, saying, "Go! Chase after him!"

Having said that, he led twelve men in black and the group of warriors in silver armor, transforming into streaks of light and speeding off in the direction Ling Xiao had fled, not daring to delay for the slightest.

After the gray-robed man and his entourage had completely departed, an aged figure quietly appeared behind Long Muyu. His body was hunched, yet he exuded an unfathomable aura. He bowed deeply to Long Muyu, his tone respectful: "Your Highness!"

Long Muyu turned slightly to the side, her tone softening, and said softly, "I have said before, there is no need to be so formal when the teacher is here."

The old man slowly straightened up, shook his head, and said solemnly, "Rules cannot be abolished. The Tianlong Kingdom has its own rules. Without rules, there can be no order. This old minister dares not overstep his bounds."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Long Muyu stopped pursuing the matter. She looked up at the direction Ling Xiao had fled, her brows furrowed, and said softly, "The Demon Soul Clan's emergence this time is far-reaching, and it's definitely not just about killing Ling Xiao."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Your Highness, you deliberately let Ling Xiao go today, didn't you?"

Long Muyu did not deny it, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

A knowing glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and he smiled and said, "This old minister dares to ask why? With Your Highness's strength, if you really wanted to kill him, he would have no chance of surviving today."

Long Muyu sighed softly and said slowly:

"Do you know that the Red Water Phoenix cannot kill Xiao Lianzhu? If I kill Ling Xiao today, given Xiao Lianzhu's personality, she will surely take mad revenge on my Tianlong Kingdom."

Although my Heavenly Dragon Kingdom is not afraid of her, there is no need for me to make an enemy for no reason, much less to benefit the Demon Soul Clan... If Xiao Lianzhu and my Heavenly Dragon Kingdom fight to the death, the Demon Soul Clan will be the happiest of all.

The old man suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "Your Highness is very insightful! The sudden emergence of the Demon Soul Clan this time is very powerful. On the surface, they claim that their target is the Demon Lord's treasure, but judging from the current signs, their ambitions are far more than that."

As he spoke, he looked up towards the direction of the Silent Court, his eyes revealing a mixture of emotion and solemnity:

"Back then, the Silent Extinction Court was the number one power in the chaotic martial world, intimidating the entire world. Who would dare to underestimate it? But now, times have changed. This Demon Soul Clan actually dares to openly set up a killing trap near the Silent Extinction Court, and even dares to covet that treasure. It can be seen how confident they are."

Long Muyu said calmly, "The rise and fall of a power is a natural law. No matter how powerful a force is, it will eventually decline."

The old man nodded slightly and added:

"Although the Silent Court is not what it used to be and its power is not as great as before, I think the Demon Soul Clan would not dare to completely destroy the Silent Court. After all, the Holy Hall still exists and its foundation is unfathomable. Moreover, there is Jiang Yijian in the Silent Court."

Jiang Yijian's name is very well-known in the chaotic martial arts world.

He was one of the eight strongest figures in the Chaotic Martial World, the true number one swordsman, with unfathomable cultivation. Back then, he shocked the entire Chaotic Martial World with just one sword strike. Even now, when he is in seclusion for many years, he is still a figure feared by countless forces.

Long Muyu's gaze also turned towards the direction of the Silent Court, and she said softly:

"Our stance dictates that we cannot allow the Purgatory Kingdom to rise, nor can we allow Lingxiao and the Silent Extinction Court to join forces and unlock the Demon Lord's treasure. But even more so, we cannot allow the Demon Soul Clan to use us as pawns and reap the benefits."
