“You cannot win against me!”
Ling Xiao shook his head and said.
“Hmph, without fighting, who knows?”
Ying Wuya snorted coldly. “Ling Xiao, you are not afraid, are you?”
“Since that is the case, I will let you witness my current power.”
Ling Xiao felt somewhat annoyed by this persistently entangled Ying Wuya. He needed to spend time breaking the array next, and he could not be disturbed by this person. So, he decided to simply deal with this fellow.
“Come on!”
Ying Wuya’s aura surged fiercely all over his body. He entered the Golden-Winged Peng Human Form, appearing extremely majestic and powerful.
Ling Xiao sighed and did not use that trace of Celestial Essence that had already recovered. He only entered the First Human Dragon Form.
Then, he pointed with one finger.
Heavenly Dragon Divine Finger!
The moment Ying Wuya saw Ling Xiao transform, he was already utterly shocked. When this finger attacked, he was even more terrified.
With almost no ability to resist, his protective true essence was pierced through like paper by that finger energy. Then, a blood hole appeared on his body.
Thud!
Ying Wuya knelt on the ground.
His face was full of tears.
To defeat Ling Xiao, he had ventured into the Chaotic Beast Path, resulting in losing one eye and breaking one arm.
But now, facing Ling Xiao, he was even worse off than during the Three Sects Martial Assembly.
He was grief-stricken and desperate, almost seeing no hope of survival.
Ling Xiao looked at Ying Wuya and said gently, “Those who have been surpassed by me never have the possibility of surpassing me again. The gap between you and me will only grow larger. If you cannot even accept this point, then you really should choose to end your life immediately; perhaps that would be better.”
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Ying Wuya. Instead, he turned to break the array. Although the array here was exquisite, it was insignificant to him.
A moment later, the array was broken. He opened that golden-yellow box but felt slightly disappointed.
It was a martial arts secret manual.
Moreover, it was a martial arts secret manual very suitable for Ying Wuya.
He could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. “Ying Wuya, your luck is really good. This is a Jade Grade Rare Level martial arts. To be honest, I even want to keep it for myself.
However, it is of no use to me. I can give it to you, but you must exchange it with something of equal value. Otherwise, I can only take it to exchange with others.”
This guy was also cunning. In fact, he had already copied it all down. Even if he gave it to Ying Wuya, he still had another set.
Besides, this thing was truly useless to him. If he could exchange it for something useful to him, that would be worth it.
At this time, Ying Wuya had already recovered from his despondency.
Having reached this point today, he had experienced many things. It was impossible for him to be driven to suicide by such a blow.
“I will exchange!”
He did not hesitate at all and directly threw a storage ring to Ling Xiao.
He said, “There are not many things inside, but there are over a million low-grade spirit stones, ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, as well as two Jade Grade Entry Level martial arts, ten sets of Gold Grade Top Level martial arts, and many herbs. Each herb is worth around a million low-grade spirit stones. That should be enough, right?”
Ling Xiao caught the storage ring and casually scanned it with his soul force. He could not help but smile slightly.
Getting so many things for nothing was not a loss.
This Ying Wuya was truly a decisive person who knew how to make choices at critical moments.
“Here you go!”
Ling Xiao also threw the martial arts secret manual to Ying Wuya.
After Ying Wuya took it and glanced at it, he said excitedly, “Thank you, Brother Ling.”
“What did you call me?”
“Brother Ling.”
“You do not hate me anymore?”
Ling Xiao was somewhat surprised.
“I have thought it through just now. There is no deep enmity between you and me; I just refused to accept you. From now on, I will take you as my goal and keep chasing after you. Even if I cannot catch up, even if the gap widens, I will try my best to keep this gap from becoming too large.”
Ying Wuya’s thoughts finally became clear, without the interference of inner demons. His thinking became extremely lucid.
“Congratulations to you; you are a sensible person.”
Having one less enemy was always better than having one more. Ling Xiao was not the type who planned to make enemies of the whole world.
Since Ying Wuya had figured it out himself, that made things easier.
“Brother Ling, take care of yourself. I am already satisfied with getting this Jade Grade Rare Level martial arts.”
As he spoke, Ying Wuya took out a secret technique scroll, which was precisely the item to leave the True Demon Forbidden Land.
He knew very well in his heart that six people had entered the Death Gate, so there should be six treasures. He had already obtained one, so there was no need to be greedy anymore.
From the battle with Ling Xiao, he knew that his strength was still far inferior. Continuing on might lead to a dead end.
So, he naturally chose to leave.
“Mm.”
Watching Ying Wuya crush the secret technique scroll, his body turning into light and disappearing, Ling Xiao did not stop him.
With Ying Wuya gone, it meant one less troublesome fellow. For him, it was not a bad thing.
Outside the True Demon Forbidden Land.
“Look quickly, Senior Brother Ying is back!”
She Jiao was the first to notice Ying Wuya and shouted excitedly.
Although Ying Wuya’s body was extremely exhausted, his face was brimming with a slight smile.
The people from the Beast King Palace quickly took Ying Wuya to the camp to rest.
She Jiao asked excitedly, “Senior Brother Ying, you killed that Ling Xiao, right?”
Because of her excitement, she did not care that the Moonlight Sect’s camp was right next to them. Her voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.
“Kill him?”
Ying Wuya shook his head and said, “There is no enmity between Brother Ling and me; why kill him? I was able to come out alive this time thanks to his mercy in not killing me.”
“Huh?”
She Jiao was immediately stunned.
“She Jiao, I am afraid I cannot help you avenge your grudge against Ling Xiao. He showed me mercy by not killing me and even helped me. From now on, there will be no enmity between me, Ying Wuya, and Ling Xiao.”
Ying Wuya looked at She Jiao and sighed.
He knew that She Jiao hated Ling Xiao very much, but he would not help anymore.
On the other side, the people from the Moonlight Sect all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Although they did not know what had happened inside, it was certain that Ling Xiao was not dead yet.
Ling Xiao was indeed not dead. After leaving the first treasure location, he continued forward.
Just as Ying Wuya had guessed, there were a total of six treasures after the Death Gate. Ling Xiao had already used the Mountain River Map to find them all.
Now, he was heading towards the nearest second one.
If not for worrying about encountering traps or arrays on the way, his speed would probably be even faster.
…
Ling Xiao was alone, after all, and it was impossible for him to obtain all six treasures at the same time. So, just as he approached the second treasure, in another place, another treasure was also discovered.
This was a cold pool.
In the cold pool, a sharp long spear was inserted.
The long spear was in the cold pool but showed no sign of being frozen at all. Instead, it was filled with fiery radiance.
Needless to say, this long spear was at least an Immortal Grade Treasure.
And at this time, there were two people who had arrived here.
Yan Liehuo from the Profound Fire Sect and Ya Qianxue from the Heavenly King Gate.
