C71 (1/2)
One day after Longhu Mountain.
In order to wait for Chu Lingxiang to recover from her injuries, Ye Ling was forced to stay where she was to act as a protector for Chu Lingxiang and protect him.
Ye Ling took the lead and led the way, while and him were silent, he secretly sent a sound transmission to the Xue Wuya.
”Hm!” It's not too far off from the mark! ”
The Xue Wuya agreed, only people who cultivate Great Desolation Meridian can have the same aura.
”What's the matter with you?”
Chu Lingxiang, who was following behind Ye Ling, noticed that Ye Ling was walking and stopping in front of him.
”Nothing, I just feel like someone is secretly monitoring us.” Ye Ling frowned, he stopped and looked around, his expression was clearly strange, and whatever he said would cause people to not believe him.
Chu Lingxiang's expression was strange, upon hearing what Ye Ling said, she had to remain vigilant, and thought to herself, ”If Qin Feng finds Huang Feihu, the people of the Zi Xiao Emperor will definitely be hiding in the surroundings, waiting for Ye Ling to fall into his trap.”
Whoosh whoosh!
Just as Chu Lingxiang was thinking of this, all of the trees in the area suddenly shook, their leaves rustling, gusts of cold wind whizzing through the forest, and a wave of terrifying coldness assaulted her face.
Ye Ling's expression was frighteningly cold. As he slightly narrowed his eyes and looked around at his surroundings of the forest, suddenly, he saw a figure flash through the forest. That person's speed was extremely fast.
Sou sou!
”Be careful!”
Chu Lingxiang was the first to notice, she anxiously shouted out, and used both hands to push Ye Ling who was in front of him, and quickly dodged to the side.
Bang bang!
The two cold arrows brushed past the shoulders of Ye Ling and Yue Yang, and instantly pierced through the tree trunk in front of them.
”Thank you, my beautiful lady!”
When Ye Ling saw that he was almost dressed like a hornet's nest, he could not help but rejoice. He turned his head to the side to look at Chu Lingxiang, and revealed a bright smile as he said that.
”What time is it!”
”You still have the mood to speak flowery words here?!”
Chu Lingxiang was furious, but she was feeling uneasy, and yet Ye Ling was not in tune.
”They're just a bunch of noobs, there's no need to care so much!”
When Ye Ling opened his mouth to speak, his eyes revealed a cold light as he glanced at the forest to his right. When he sensed that someone was approaching, Ye Ling suddenly disappeared from his original position.
The Sobbing Blood Sword was unsheathed, blood spewed out all over, the forest was filled with blood light, and the shrubs collapsed one after another.
”AHH!”
Just as Chu Lingxiang was startled, a scream came out from within the forest. After a while, Ye Ling walked out from within the forest with a swagger, and the Sobbing Blood Sword in her right hand started to drip blood.
When Chu Lingxiang saw that Ye Ling had returned safely, her heart felt as if there were many ripples. But just as Chu Lingxiang was about to ask, Chu Lingxiang suddenly felt a gust of cold wind come from her back.
Boom! *
”Pfft!”
Chu Lingxiang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly turning as white as paper.
”Chu Lingxiang!”
Ye Ling's face revealed panic, he instantly strode forward and rushed towards Chu Lingxiang, and just as he was about to lend a hand and support Chu Lingxiang, Chu Lingxiang revealed a painful expression, and fell to his knees with a thump.
”Whiz!”
The instant Chu Lingxiang knelt on the ground, a sword beam suddenly pierced towards Ye Ling from behind.
Ye Ling's eyes widened, he anxiously flew backwards, but it was already too late, he could not avoid it.
Pfft!
Blood sprayed out, Ye Ling's right shoulder was instantly pierced by the Sword Qi, he knelt on one knee, his expression in extreme pain, and fresh blood dripped from his mouth.
”Humph!” ”It's nothing more than that!”
”You're the only one who can kill Yun Zhonglu and Great Void! It looks like those two are really stupid! He's simply a piece of trash! ”
This person was actually an expert from the Zi Xiao Emperor, a Palace Master from the Heaven Martial Palace. His name was ”Li Yunbao” and he served the same purpose as Huang Feihu, the Emperor of Tai Chen.
Li Yunbao had an unfathomable cultivation, and had stepped into the second level of the Five Elemental Stage. He was a top expert, and was the right-hand man of the Tai Chen Emperor.
”Who are you?”
”From the looks of it, you're not a disciple of the two Sects. I've never seen you before. Why did you try to kill me?”
Ye Ling gritted his teeth as he glared at Li Yunbao with bloodshot eyes. Although he had a guess, he wasn't confirmed of it yet.
”I am the Palace Chief of the Zi Xiao Emperor's Sky Martial Palace, under the orders of Emperor Tai Chen, I have come to apprehend you, what do you have to say for yourself?”
Li Yunbao laughed, he looked at Ye Ling with his sinister eyes, and took a step forward, raising his hand to grab the heavily injured Chu Lingxiang in one hand, ”This woman is not bad, I wonder if the talismans suit Tai Chen's taste?”
”Let her go!”
”She is one of my, Ye Ling's, people, and you are making a fool of yourself!”
Ye Ling was furious and suddenly stood up. His face red, he angrily glared at Li Yunbao and bellowed, but when he saw Chu Lingxiang's weak and frail appearance, he knew that Chu Lingxiang had no way of resisting.
”What?”
”With that moral character of yours, you can't even take care of yourself, yet you still dare to play the hero in front of me. You truly don't know your own limits!”
