CHAPTER 1945: CHAPTER 1948: DESPERATE COUNTERATTACK: SLAYING THE FAIRY OF QINGQIU

In fact, the Xuanwu Divine Hall has people within all of the Four Great Empires and the Zhengyi Sect.

Lei Mang from the White Tiger Empire;

Young Master Sky Wolf from the Yuelang Empire;

The Princess Consort from the Tianhai Empire;

And Hundred-Eyed Demon King Wu Leonard from the Zhengyi Sect!

However, unfortunately, Lei Mang was killed by Mu Wan Shuang, and both the Princess Consort and Wu Leonard were killed by Ling Xiao.

This has been a significant loss for the Xuanwu Divine Hall.

This means that even if there was no conflict between Ling Xiao and the Xuan Ming Sect Leader, he wouldn’t be allowed to enter the Trial Grounds for the trial.

Because he does not have the qualification.

"Ling Xiao, hand over your Magic Cube Metal, and we’ll allow you to stay in the Magic Cube Temple comfortably for ten days. Otherwise, the Divine Temple Sky Prison will be where you spend those ten days.

There, you will suffer the most brutal punishments."

The Magic Cube Honorable looked at Ling Xiao calmly and said.

To be honest, he had a high regard for this young man, but an enemy is still an enemy. He couldn’t let him enter the Trial Grounds just because he admired him.

"What do you mean? Are you saying the Xuanwu Divine Hall is going to go back on their word?"

Ling Xiao had already expected the Xuanwu Divine Hall wouldn’t let him pass easily, but he was surprised they acted against him so quickly.

Isn’t this a bit too hasty?

"Go back on our word? Haha, there’s no outsider here, and even if you die, others will think you died in the Trial Grounds."

The Magic Cube Honorable sneered.

"Then why not just kill me?"

Ling Xiao mocked.

"Of course, it’s because of the hostage in your hands. We might not kill you, but it’s still possible to deal with you lightly."

The Magic Cube Honorable, clearly tired of the conversation, gestured with his hand: "Fairy of Qingqiu, Green Hills Separation Fire, capture Ling Xiao, and the Magic Cube Metal is yours."

"Yes!"

Fairy of Qingqiu and Green Hills Separation Fire were eliminated and had to enter through the revival round to be part of the last twenty.

But how could they accept it willingly?

They believed Ling Xiao, Leng Mei, and Joshua Long only benefited from the second battle, not really strong.

Moreover, teaming up, how could they fail to deal with Ling Xiao?

When Magic Cube Honorable gave the order, they acted without hesitation.

Yet Ling Xiao moved even faster than them.

He knew that to gain an edge, he had to act first.

Fairy of Qingqiu only saw a shadow attack her extremely swiftly, making it impossible for her to react.

She had no choice but to move aside with all her might, trying to dodge the attack.

Ling Xiao brushed past the Fairy of Qingqiu, aiming for the Magic Cube Trial Ground.

He believed that once inside, no one could take the Magic Cube Metal from him.

Unfortunately, despite having a good plan, the opponent anticipated this. The Magic Cube Honorable appeared right on the path to the first gate.

This changed Ling Xiao’s expression, making him even more infuriated.

"Since you Xuanwu Divine Hall are ruthless, don’t blame me, Ling Xiao, for being ungrateful! Don’t you want these two women to replace me in the Trial Grounds? Then I’ll kill them!"

While thinking this, Ling Xiao suddenly turned back and threw an Array Refining Stone into the air.

Ten Thousand Doors Array!

"Senior sister, be careful!"

Green Hills Separation Fire cried out.

As Ling Xiao disappeared, a blood-red longsword appeared in his hand.

This sword glowed with a sinister light, piercing into the arm of the Fairy of Qingqiu.

Although the Fairy of Qingqiu dodged swiftly, avoiding vital areas, she couldn’t dodge the terrifying effect of the Blood Red Sword.

"Why is my blood energy continuously dissipating? What kind of sword are you using?"

The Fairy of Qingqiu shouted in terror.

"The sword to kill you!"

Ling Xiao vanished again, leaving only a red Sword Beam that struck from an eerie angle towards the Fairy of Qingqiu.

With her blood energy continuously dissipating, the Fairy of Qingqiu’s power declined rapidly.

The second strike pierced directly through her body.

The Fairy of Qingqiu cried out as the Blood Red Sword absorbed a large amount of her blood energy.

Her once smooth face instantly withered and aged, looking like an old lady of seventy or eighty years.

"No—! Magic Cube Honorable, save me! Save me!"

The Fairy of Qingqiu cried out in terror, but to no avail.

"He can’t save you!"

Ling Xiao knew that the Magic Cube Honorable, blocking the path to the first gate, could not leave.

"Lin Yuan, help her!"

The Magic Cube Honorable frowned and ordered Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had intended to act only after the Fairy of Qingqiu and Green Hills Separation Fire had exposed Ling Xiao’s abilities, but with the Magic Cube Honorable’s command, he had to move.

A terrifying energy emanated from him, as he punched towards Ling Xiao from behind.

"You rebel, stop right now!"

"Stop your mother!"

Ling Xiao shouted angrily, as the Fairy of Qingqiu, in her despair, saw the Blood Red Sword thrust into her throat.

Another top talent fell.

"Boom!"

At the same time, Lin Yuan’s fist struck Ling Xiao’s back.

Yet, shrouded in an earthy yellow light, Ling Xiao’s body only swayed slightly.

Then he suddenly swung his sword backward, and the frightened Lin Yuan retreated swiftly, though he did get slashed on the wrist, his blood energy continuously flowing away.

"How is this possible? What technique has this guy cultivated, that gives him such an incredible defensive power!"

Lin Yuan used the Yin-Yang Elemental Force to stop the blood energy loss, but dared not approach Ling Xiao.

Meanwhile, Green Hills Separation Fire was too frightened to move.

"I really admire you, Ling Xiao. To think you could kill the Fairy of Qingqiu and injure Lin Yuan with your fifteenth-layer Yin-Yang Realm cultivation level.

But you still have no chance!"

As the words fell, Ling Xiao felt a terrifying force targeting him.

He hesitated a bit, but ultimately decided not to use his ultimate trump card.

He saved it for a direct showdown with Xuan Ming, needing to conserve it since the Magic Cube Honorable wouldn’t kill him.

"Boom!"

A terrifying palm force poured into his body.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but smile bitterly, damn it, his newly healed bones were shattered again, truly unfortunate.

"Come, take him to the Divine Temple Sky Prison!"

The Magic Cube Honorable shouted.

He took the Magic Cube Metal from Ling Xiao and handed it to Green Hills Separation Fire, coldly saying: "This is the opportunity your sister risked her life to secure for you, remember this, you need to avenge her."

"Subordinate obeys."

Green Hills Separation Fire glanced at the departing Ling Xiao, gritted her teeth, and stepped into the first gate.

"Lin Yuan, do you now understand that there’s a higher realm beyond every realm, and a person beyond every person? Normally, I told you to cultivate diligently, but you were arrogant, and now you’ve been injured by just an ordinary Ling Xiao, is that very glorious?"
