Ling Xiao suddenly arrived at that moment, unleashing the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword, a jet-black sword aura striking the crimson chains with unerring accuracy.
Click!
The power of the Demon Lord's Black Sky Sword is terrifying, not to mention that Ling Xiao's aura is much stronger than before. The enhancement brought by absorbing the black scythe makes him even more terrifying.
Therefore, the chain shattered instantly, unable to withstand Ling Xiao's attack.
The moment the chains broke, Xiang Ying's arm also broke free. He grabbed the spear and thrust it at a black-clad man who was lunging at him.
The man in black was focused on maintaining the chains and had no idea that Xiang Ying would break free. Everything happened so fast that he was pierced through the arm by Xiang Ying's spear and lost control of the chains.
"what……!"
The man in black let out a scream, only to find that the second chain had already been severed by Ling Xiao. He tried to fix it, but Xiang Ying had already spotted him, and he stopped in his tracks in fright.
With the destruction of the second chain, Xiang Ying's second arm was able to move again, and the divine power he could wield had become much stronger. He then charged at the two men in black nearby.
The spear flew through the air, startling one of the men in black who immediately dropped the chains in his hand and dodged it.
Ling Xiao seized the opportunity to cut the chains again.
"Stop them!" Yelü Xuan shouted urgently.
But it was too late. With the three chains breaking, Xiang Ying was basically free. His divine power erupted instantly, and the remaining men in black were all blown away. Xiang Ying then took control of the chains and used them to pierce the throats of several men in black, killing them.
"Thanks." Xiang Ying was completely freed and glanced at Ling Xiao with a smile.
"Don't thank me, I'm about to collapse. I need you to buy me at least half an hour, or we'll both be done for!"
Xiang Ying glanced at him and, seeing the black lines that kept appearing and disappearing on his face, immediately understood his condition.
"Go." Xiang Ying's golden spear drew a golden arc in the air and blocked Ling Xiao's path. "Leave this to me."
Ling Xiao didn't say anything more. He flashed to the edge of the battlefield, sat down cross-legged again, and focused all his energy on refining the power within his body using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
Xiang Ying stood before him, his golden spear planted firmly on the ground, his gaze sweeping over the enemy before him...
Yelü Xuan was injured, but still capable of fighting.
Of the twelve men in black, most were injured, but seven or eight were still able to stand.
However, there are likely still enemies lurking in the shadows; it's unknown how many there are.
She took a deep breath and gripped her spear tightly: "Come on. If you want to kill him, you'll have to get past me first."
Anyway, she was determined to protect Ling Xiao today, as it would be good not only for the Jie Mie Ting, but also for her.
She already disliked the way the Holy Temple did things, and if she were ever hunted down after leaving the Holy Temple, someone would be there to help her.
However, at that moment, a low laugh suddenly came from the void.
"Xiang Ying, you're still as tough as ever."
As the laughter subsided, a figure slowly emerged from the void.
The person was wearing a dark purple robe, which was embroidered with soul imprint patterns.
He held a bone staff, the head of which was inlaid with a soul bead the size of a fist. Inside the soul bead, countless tiny points of light moved about, which were the souls of the enemies he had devoured.
"Who do we have here? It's you, Yelü Jin, your defeated foe!"
Xiang Ying looked at Yelü Jin with disdain. This guy had indeed been hiding in the shadows, spying all along. Now that the opportunity had come, he came out.
She had fought Yelü Jin outside the Soul Abyss Formation last time.
Although Yelü Jin was strong back then, Xiang Ying could still gain the upper hand, sending him flying with a single spear thrust. But the Yelü Jin standing before her now possessed an aura far stronger than before…
"Heh, I'm not the same person I was back then. You could defeat me then, but not today!"
Yelü Jin sneered.
"Your strength has actually improved quite a bit, no wonder you're so arrogant. But how can you be so sure that my strength hasn't improved?" Xiang Ying was surprised, but he still sneered.
You absolutely cannot lose to your opponent in terms of presence.
Yelü Jin smiled slightly: "Elder Xiang Ying has good eyesight. After the last battle, I went into seclusion for a period of time to refine and absorb the remaining power of the Soul Abyss Formation. I am no weaker than you now."
Xiang Ying's expression turned serious.
Yelü Jin was telling the truth. Judging from the aura he was exuding at that moment, his strength had indeed reached Xiang Ying's level... and might even be slightly better.
Xiang Ying could barely handle Yelü Xuan and his twelve men in black. But if Yelü Jin, whose strength was no less than hers, were added...
Xiang Ying's heart sank.
Yelü Jin did not rush to make a move, but instead leisurely sized up Xiang Ying, then his gaze passed over her and landed on Ling Xiao, who was meditating cross-legged behind him.
“Elder Xiang Ying,” Yelü Jin’s voice was gentle and calm, “I’m not here today to fight you to the death.”
Xiang Ying sneered, "Not here to fight to the death? Then what are you doing bringing so many people here? To have some tea?"
Yelü Jin was not angered by her sarcasm; instead, he laughed.
"I'm here to discuss a deal with you."
"What deal?"
Yelü Jin's smile faded slightly, and his gaze became serious.
“Give up Lingxiao.”
Xiang Ying's brows furrowed suddenly.
Yelü Jin continued, "As long as you leave this matter alone today and hand Lingxiao over to us, I, in the name of the Demon Soul Clan Chief, guarantee you... that the Demon Soul Clan will not lay a finger on the Silent Extinction Court for the next ten years."
His voice was calm and sincere, as if he were discussing a perfectly normal business deal.
"Ten years." Xiang Ying's voice turned cold.
“Ten years.” Yelü Jin nodded. “Given the current state of the Silent Court, Elder Xiang Ying should understand better than I what ten years of peaceful development means.”
Xiang Ying fell silent.
What Yelü Jin said was true.
The Silent Court is no longer the Silent Court of the past. After Hong Qi "reasoned" with it, the Silent Court's strength was greatly reduced, and it has been barely maintaining itself in recent years.
If the Silent Court could have ten years of peaceful development, its strength could indeed be greatly restored.
But Xiang Ying's silence lasted only three breaths.
“Yelü Jin,” Xiang Ying’s voice was calm and firm, “you’ve got one thing wrong.”
Yelü Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xiang Ying's golden spear paused in mid-air, emitting a resounding "hum".
“Lingxiao is not something I can trade. He is an ally of the Silent Court… no, more important than an ally. He is one of us.”
Her gaze met Yelü Jin's eyes as she spoke, word by word:
"Moreover, the key to the Demon Lord's treasure is in his hands. Giving up Ling Xiao is the same as giving up the Demon Lord's treasure. Giving up the Demon Lord's treasure is like cutting off one's own arm."
Yelü Jin's smile finally disappeared.
“Xiang Ying, you should know... with the current strength of the Silent Court, it is impossible to protect the Demon Lord's treasure.”
