Chapter 14949 I can only rely on myself
Even though she was being restrained by Chishui Phoenix at every turn, Xiao Lianzhu showed no sign of backing down. On the contrary, she was so crazy that Chishui Phoenix was somewhat flustered.
Xiao Lianzhuo spared no effort in consuming her own source power with each attack. She was risking her life and didn't care about herself at all because she was worried about Ling Xiao's safety.
At that moment, she only had eyes for Ling Xiao.
She couldn't let him die.
"Get out of here!!"
Xiao Lianzhu's voice carried a hint of almost insane obsession. The light of the black moon surged to its limit, transforming into a huge black crescent moon that crushed towards the Crimson Phoenix.
A complex look flashed in Chishui Phoenix's eyes.
She had indeed promised to help the Demon Soul Clan twice, but she never imagined she'd have to risk her life against a powerhouse of equal strength. She wondered who Ling Xiao was to Xiao Lianzhu; he was utterly insane.
She hastily formed a hand seal, and the crimson-gold flames transformed into a giant phoenix, colliding head-on with the black crescent moon.
boom……
The two figures were simultaneously blasted away by the shockwave and disappeared into the depths of the void.
However, Chishui Phoenix retreated further and was seriously injured. It wasn't that she couldn't defeat Xiao Lianzhu, but that she intended to stop her but didn't intend to fight to the death.
But Xiao Lianzhu was risking her life.
Fighting someone who's reckless is really tough; you're constantly at a disadvantage, and it's very troublesome.
"It's about time, isn't it? I can't stop this madman for much longer." Chishui Phoenix decided to leave soon; there was no need to risk her life for a single condition.
In this chaotic martial arts world, there are only seven people qualified to kill her, and Xiao Lianzhu is one of them.
The fight here is fierce and evenly matched.
Meanwhile, at the Holy Rune Academy, chaos reigned.
Dozens of black figures descended from the sky, crashing into the academy like meteorites. These figures were all dressed in black bodysuits, their faces covered by black masks, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
They exuded a strong killing intent; each of them was a highly trained assassin.
"Enemy attack...!"
The guard's alarm had barely sounded when a dark figure silently slit his throat. His body slumped to the ground, blood staining the stone bricks beneath his feet.
The assassins in black moved through the academy like ghosts, killing anyone they saw.
Although the academy's disciples fought valiantly, they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Fighting broke out everywhere—in the training grounds, in front of the teaching buildings, and in the dormitory area—and people fell everywhere.
"How dare you!"
Yao Tianji's roar came from deep within the academy, as loud as thunder.
His figure burst out of the main hall, and the holy rune pen in his hand drew golden lines in the air. Those lines transformed into defensive formations, enveloping the nearby disciples and blocking the black-clad assassin's attack.
At the same time, Jiang Chuan, Zhang Maoran, Li Hanwen and others also appeared.
They were stronger than these men in black; they could kill them with a single move.
But there were too many assassins in black.
Moreover, their target is not the disciples of the academy at all... their target is to restrain them.
To restrain Yao Tianji, restrain Jiang Chuan, and draw the attention of all the powerful figures in the Holy Rune Academy.
After killing one of the black-clad assassins with a single sword strike, Yao Tianji finally realized something was amiss. It was impossible for these people to destroy the Holy Rune Academy, yet they remained fearless. Therefore, there was only one possibility: they were there to delay the Holy Rune Academy.
"Jiang Chuan!" Yao Tianji shouted, "They're stalling for time!"
Jiang Chuan also realized what was happening. His expression changed drastically, and he raised his hand to unleash a wall of fire, forcing back the black-clad assassins in front of him. Then he rushed to Yao Tianji's side.
"Young Master!" Jiang Chuan's voice was filled with anxiety, "Their target is the Young Master!"
Yao Tianji's face instantly turned ashen.
He immediately took out a communication rune stone and tried to contact Ling Xiao... but only silence came from the rune stone.
"The space is sealed off." Yao Tianji's voice was hoarse, and his fingers were white from exerting too much force.
Jiang Chuan's expression also turned extremely ugly.
The space being sealed off meant they couldn't notify Ling Xiao of the danger, nor could they rush to his rescue.
The purpose of these assassins in black was to trap them here, preventing them from rescuing Ling Xiao.
"Damn it!" Jiang Chuan roared, wildly swinging his blazing sword in an attempt to carve a bloody path.
But the assassins in black, as if possessed, charged forward recklessly, blocking his path with their bodies. Although they were not as strong as Jiang Chuan, they had the advantage of numbers and were fearless in the face of death.
When one falls, two take its place; when two fall, four take its place.
Yao Tianji was also caught in a fierce battle. Several assassins in black joined forces to entangle him; although they couldn't defeat him, they were enough to prevent him from escaping.
Yao Tianji's heart sank to the bottom.
He knew this was a meticulously planned assassination plot, aimed at killing Ling Xiao and preventing anyone else from helping him.
"It's over. The young master will have to face the powerful enemy alone. I wonder if he can withstand it!"
Yao Tianji's eyes reddened.
"Young Grandmaster..."
He desperately wanted to break through, but he couldn't. The men in black were like cockroaches, dying one after another, as if they were doing everything they could to stop them.
"Dean, don't worry too much. Our young master is a lucky man, and besides, he's incredibly capable. It won't be easy for anyone to kill him!" Jiang Chuan comforted him. "Let's take care of these bastards first."
"That's right. If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have let the Thousand Ghost Riders follow the Junior Grandmaster. Alas, what a mistake!" Yao Tianji sighed. At this point, there was no use saying anything.
The sky not far from the Holy Emblem Academy.
A cloud of black mist was rushing forward at high speed.
Ling Xiao, shrouded in black mist, gripped the Black Sky Sword, sensing that something was amiss. He always trusted his intuition; someone was setting a trap for him.
However, he did not know where the danger came from.
It would be best to return to the Holy Emblem Academy as soon as possible.
With that in mind, he sped up.
Suddenly, he stopped. In the void not far ahead, a gray-robed man stood silently.
This man wore a black cloak, his hair was tied up in a high bun, his face was cold and hard, and a long, crimson spear was slung diagonally across his back. The aura emanating from him was as deep and profound as an abyss, and it was clear at a glance that he was a top expert.
Ling Xiao glanced around and instantly spread his divine sense, only to find that the surrounding space had already been sealed off by an invisible force, making it difficult for his divine sense to penetrate.
Without further hesitation, he flipped his palm, and a communication rune stone appeared, ready to contact the Holy Rune Academy to see how things were going.
The enemy had actually blocked his way, so he figured the situation at the Holy Rune Academy must be pretty bad.
"Ling Xiao, there's no need to waste time. Our Demon Soul Clan has gone to great lengths to open up this battlefield specifically for you, and we will not allow anyone to disturb us."
The gray-robed man spoke.
