Chapter 58: Battle! Helian and Ling Xiao

  Ling Xiao's strike came suddenly, and even Helian Nuo, who was standing right next to Sang Xiao, only saw a flash of cold light. Before he could rush forward to assist, Ling Xiao's sword tip was already about to pierce Sang Xiao's heart. However, with a slight tremble, he rotated his wrist, causing the soft sword to be inserted at an angle into Sang Xiao's shoulder, instantly bringing out a large splash of blood!

  "What are you doing? Why don't you kill him?" Lingyun, who was eagerly waiting to see the show, saw that Ling Xiao had dodged Sang Xiao's fatal blow and couldn't help but be stunned. He immediately became furious in his heart, knowing that he probably wouldn't live past tonight. Before he died, he had no other wishes, only hoping to see with his own eyes the demise of the descendant of his arch-nemesis from Lanyue City.

  Ling Xiao slowly sheathed his sword, which was still dripping with blood, and turned to face Ling Yun, who looked puzzled. "Don't be so impatient, big brother," he said. "I just suddenly thought of this - over the past decade or so, I've been constantly fighting against others, against the Sang family, against Tuo Ba Tao, and even against you. Although it's exhausting to the point of collapse, I never thought of giving up. I just like that feeling of sending people from the pinnacle to the depths. Every time I see my opponents struggling under my feet, I feel like I'm the king of this world! You should have had this feeling too, back in the day. But now, with all my biggest opponents in front of me, waiting to be slaughtered... logically speaking, I should be thrilled. Yet for some reason, I suddenly feel a bit hesitant. Without you guys, my life would lose a lot of its fun!" Ling Xiao slowly licked his dry lips with his tongue, and the expression on his face was extremely ferocious.

  Lingyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great effort, and for some reason, he deeply understood Ling Xiao's emotions at this moment. When the Sang family was defeated by the Tuoba family back then, he had also experienced a long period of loss. For people like them, having an opponent with equivalent strength exist is actually a very fortunate thing. At least, enemies can make them forget loneliness.

  On the side, He Lian saw that Sang Xiao's shoulder was bleeding profusely, and he hastily tore off his own sleeve to help him bandage it roughly. Although the situation in front of them was extremely unfavorable, at least Sang Xiao had survived, and as long as he was alive, there was still hope for everything.

  Lingyun fell silent for a moment before hoarsely asking Lingxiao, "Your meaning is... not to kill those two children?"

  "It's not just them, even you and I, big brother, can't bear to kill each other. After all, we are brothers in the same sect. These two little guys have come to my Falling Star City for the first time, so I must treat them with hospitality! As he spoke, Ling Xiao's face suddenly changed, and his voice rose sharply as he shouted: "Bring people here, take these three to the west of the city!" As soon as Ling Xiao's words fell, four men in black appeared in the courtyard, holding chains. Upon hearing the order, they didn't say a word and were about to tie them up!

  "Wait! You're saying... you want to send the three of us to Cheng Xi!", For some reason, Ling Yun's face suddenly turned extremely ugly after hearing Ling Xiao's order, and even his voice trembled slightly. Apparently, the Cheng Xi in Ling Xiao's mouth was an absolutely terrifying place.

  "Haha, that's right, big brother! I'm going to take you to the most prosperous place in the entire Meteorite City. How about it? Can't wait to try your hand there? Haha!" Ling Xiao had a smug look on his face, clearly enjoying Ling Yun's reaction.

  "I say, shouldn't you ask for the opinion of the person involved first?" Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted Ling Xiang's loud laughter.

  Lingyun and Lingyun turned their heads to look, only to see that Sang Xiao's shoulder, which had been injured earlier, was now bandaged. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall with a pale face, while in front of him, He Lianuo stood proudly with a fierce expression, holding the Tianlang dagger!

  "Ha ha ha! You?" Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing with disdain. Indeed, in his heart, Helian Nuo and Sang Xiao were more mature than ordinary children, but after all, they were just two kids. The difficulty of cultivating the soul was clear to Ling Xiao, what achievements could these two half-grown children have?

  Lingyun also sighed, apparently he didn't think highly of Helianuo either.

  Ling Xiao laughed for half a day before he finally calmed down. He slowly straightened up, and without even looking, tossed the soft sword in his hand to his subordinate behind him. With a relaxed expression, he said to Helian Nuo: "Kid, to be honest, I really admire your courage. If we weren't enemies, I'd actually like to make friends with you. But since you're looking for death from this city master, I'll grant your wish. Come on!" After finishing speaking, he disdainfully put his right hand behind his back, leaving only one left hand pointing at Helian Nuo from a distance, as if he was going to fight him with just one hand.

  "Friend? You're a heartless beast, not even worthy of being my enemy! Let alone friend!" He spat on the ground and charged at Ling Xiang with his right hand holding the Tian Lang dagger.

  The hall was originally not very spacious, and under He Lian's sudden force, he instantly killed in front of Ling Xiao. Seeing that Ling Xiao still smiled and didn't move, He Lian shouted loudly, suddenly concentrating all his strength on his right arm, jumping high and fiercely chopping towards Ling Xiao's head!

  "Is that all?" Ling Xiao snorted, his left hand suddenly transforming from a fist to claws, viciously swiping at He Lian's right wrist which held the dagger!

  "At such a fast speed!!" Helianuo was shocked to see Ling Xiao's left hand flashing towards him like lightning, wanting to change his move but it was too late. He felt a chill on his wrist and hurriedly tried to pull his arm back, but a great force came from Ling Xiao's hand, Helianuo tried several times but couldn't shake off his grip.

  "Is that all? You're disappointing me!" Ling Xiao chuckled, gazing at He Lian Nu's iron-green face. He continuously urged his soul power into his left hand, which tightly grasped He Lian Nu, who bit his lip tightly. He even heard the creaking sound of his right wrist being squeezed.

  "I thought you were so confident, you should have some capital, who knew you were so unprepared, where's your soul technique? Bring it out, maybe you can still create some small trouble for me! ", Ling Xiao sneered at Helian No, while increasing the force on his left hand, just as he said before, he liked to see his opponent struggling in front of him, the more intense the struggle, the more sense of accomplishment he felt.

  Sang Xiao saw He Lian Nuo being subdued by Ling Xiao in just one move, and he understood that the gap between them was really too big. This gap couldn't be filled with bravery and wisdom!

  Was it really going to end like this, being slaughtered at will? Looking down at the bandages on his right shoulder that he had just finished wrapping, San Xiao gritted his teeth and ripped off the strips of cloth that were hindering his movement. The wound that was not yet fully healed was exposed to the air once again, and fresh blood immediately began flowing out. San Xiao clenched his jaw, enduring the intense pain as he drew the short sword from his waist and charged towards Ling Xiang with all his might!

  "Another one? Your friendship is really touching, since you're looking for death, I'll fulfill your wish! ", Ling Xiao suddenly lifted his left foot and kicked Sang Xiao who was pouncing on him fiercely.

  "Got it!", Ling Xiao's left foot kicked heavily on Sang Xiao's chest, and Sang Xiao, who was already extremely weak due to excessive blood loss, was kicked heavily against the wall corner. Just as Ling Xiao was feeling triumphant, he suddenly felt his left hand empty, and Helian Nuo, who had been tightly grasped in his hand, suddenly broke free from his control!

  "What?!", Ling Xiao's heart said no, just about to exert force and retreat, but felt his left arm suddenly cool, a cold light fiercely cut across his arm, scraping off a large piece of flesh and blood!

  Ling Xiao endured the intense pain and retreated to the corner of the wall like lightning, only then did he finally see clearly that the one who had just injured him was none other than He Lian Nu, who had inexplicably escaped from his grasp.

  At this moment, Helian is holding his right wrist with his left hand, panting heavily and squatting on the ground. Apparently, his right hand has been pinched into a fracture by Ling Xiang, and it will be difficult for him to engage in intense activity for a short time.

  As for how he escaped the Ling Xiao's iron-like left hand, Ling Yun, who was watching from the side, saw it clearly. Just as Sang Xiao was desperately rushing towards Ling Xiao, Ling Yun saw that Helian Nuo's right hand, which was tightly grasping the Tian Lang dagger, suddenly loosened its grip and dropped the dagger. Then, his entire right hand became strangely soft, as if it had no bones, and easily slipped out of Ling Xiao's grasp. With lightning speed, he caught the falling dagger and slashed it at Ling Xiao's arm, instantly turning the situation around!

  But how did this kid's bones disappear in an instant? Lingyun was filled with doubts, as far as he knew, there shouldn't be any soul technique that could change one's bones, and more importantly, just now he didn't feel any fluctuations of soul power from Helianuo! That is to say, what Helianuo had just used, couldn't possibly be a soul technique!

  He Lianuo grasped his own right wrist with his left hand, half-crouching in the center of the hall, where the floor was spattered with the fresh blood that Ling Xiang had just shed.

  The situation on the scene seemed to turn against Ling Xiao, but only Helian No was clear that he had just missed a great opportunity to seriously injure his opponent. At that time, he took advantage of Sang Xiao's distraction of Ling Xiao and launched an ancient martial art technique called "Bone Capture" which instantly changed the bone density of his right hand, unexpectedly slashing a line on Ling Xiao's arm. If Helian No hadn't held back with his wrist strength, this knife should have been inserted into Ling Xiao's chest!

  This opportunity to attack the enemy off guard would only come once, and Helian Nu knew that Ling Xiao, who had been wounded before, would definitely become doubly cautious, and it would not be easy for him to hurt him again.

  Indeed, Ling Xiao retreated to the corner of the wall and checked his injured arm. He waved his hand to stop his four subordinates who wanted to come forward to help him. He dabbed a bit of his own blood on his tongue with his finger, then lifted his head and coldly said to Helianuo: "Not bad, really not bad. It's been five or six years since I last felt the taste of blood. This bloody smell is still so exhilarating! Kid, although I don't know what method you used just now, I promise that you will pay the price for everything you've done!"
