Chapter 14927 Breach of Contract
Without the restraint of the Soul Abyss Formation, these people alone would be no match for Xiao Lianzhu, who wields the Black Moon and has entered the fourth level of the realm.
They were as vulnerable as ants, utterly powerless and unable to fight back.
After dealing with the surrounding fodder, Xiao Lianzhu looked up at the battlefield below and saw Ling Xiao charging alone into the ranks of the Demon Soul Clan's cavalry, wreaking havoc.
These demon soul cavalrymen were no match for Ling Xiao after his breakthrough; his swordsmanship was fierce, and every move was deadly.
With each swing of the sword, a cavalryman was cut down, his body mangled and falling to the ground.
In a short while, Ling Xiao had already killed more than ten Demon Soul Clan cavalrymen, displaying decisiveness and ruthlessness.
After these cavalrymen were killed, their souls and life essence were completely devoured by Ling Xiao using his Devouring Heaven Demon Art, turning into nourishment for himself, without any waste.
Absorbing the power of enemies amidst endless slaughter, tempering oneself, and constantly growing stronger—this is Ling Xiao's domineering way.
As he continued to devour, his aura not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger, the power of his bloodline surged more and more, and his realm gradually stabilized.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was unstoppable and invincible in the formation, Xiao Lianzhu immediately turned her head and looked at the leader of the Demon Soul Clan in the distance.
The powerful figure felt Xiao Lianzhu's icy gaze, his expression changed drastically, and he panicked. He immediately shouted, "Quickly! Activate the formation! Activate the clan's great formation!"
As soon as the words were spoken, deep within the distant mountains, an extremely dark pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds.
The next moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered wildly above the entire Demon Soul Clan, and a huge, illusory giant sword slowly condensed and floated in the sky.
The greatsword was dark red all over, surrounded by countless tiny dark red light spots.
It exudes a devastating aura, as if it could crush everything upon landing.
Upon seeing the dark red giant sword, Xiao Lianzhu remained calm. She gently stretched out her jade hand, and the black moon instantly flew back into her palm, emitting a faint dark light, ready to meet the challenge.
Just then, Xiang Ying, who was far away, forced back Yelü Jin, who had been fighting for a long time, with a single spear thrust. He then flashed to Xiao Lianzhu's side and solemnly advised her in a low voice.
"Don't try to fight them head-on. The Demon Soul Clan has a deep foundation, and there are still top experts hidden in the clan who have not yet made a move. Their aura is extremely concealed, and their strength should not be underestimated!"
Xiao Lianzhu raised her eyes and looked into the depths of the mountains, focusing her senses, and indeed she detected it.
Hidden among the distant mountains are several obscure yet powerful auras, each one representing a top-tier expert, and not just one, but several.
Seeing this, Xiang Ying continued to persuade them, his tone urgent: "Even if you are powerful, it is difficult for you to completely destroy them on your own."
Moreover, as far as I know, the Demon Soul Clan also hides an extremely terrifying killing formation.
If this formation is fully activated, and with those hidden powerhouses joining forces to restrain you, even with Black Moon in your grasp, you will be completely helpless and unable to escape.
After saying that, she turned to look at Ling Xiao, who was fighting a bloody battle below, and said in a deep voice, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about him."
Although he has just broken through to a higher realm and his combat power has surged, his foundation is still unstable and he urgently needs time to go into seclusion to consolidate it.
If we fight here for a long time, it will be easy for the enemy to exploit our weaknesses and damage our foundation, resulting in more losses than gains.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lianzhu slowly closed her eyes and fell into deep thought, her jade-like hand tightly gripping the Black Moon.
He was filled with resentment, but he also knew that everything Xiang Ying said was true.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the dark red giant sword above the Demon Soul Clan merely hovered in the sky, motionless, and did not actively descend to attack.
Clearly, the Demon Soul Clan also harbored reservations and were unwilling to engage in a desperate, mutually destructive battle with Xiao Lianzhu.
With Xiang Ying assisting them, they were unable to restrain Xiao Lianzhu or lock her body in place, thus preventing them from activating the great formation to trap and kill her.
If Xiao Lianzhu is truly pushed to the brink, and she is determined to escape, even if the Demon Soul Clan uses all its strength, it will be difficult to stop her. Instead, she will retaliate, resulting in the loss of even more clansmen.
Moreover, the Demon Soul Clan has already suffered heavy casualties, with most of its eighty-one Soul Generals lost and countless cavalrymen killed or wounded. It is already severely weakened and is unwilling to continue losing its members and increase casualties.
Of course, the final decision of Xiao Lianzhuo depends on the situation at this moment.
If she insists on not retreating and is determined to fight to the death, the Demon Soul Clan has no other way out but to use all the strength of the entire clan to activate the great formation and kill her at all costs.
After a long silence, Xiao Lianzhu suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of unwillingness flashing in them, but she ultimately suppressed the killing intent in her heart.
"Brother Ling, let's go! Let's retreat first!"
To perish together with the Demon Soul Clan was clearly not in her interest. She didn't want Ling Xiao to die here, after all, their lives were much more valuable than those of the Demon Soul Clan.
Ling Xiao nodded, swung his sword and killed a Demon Soul Clan member who charged at him, then coldly looked at the opposite side: "This matter is not over today. Demon Soul Clan, in this life and the next, I will raze your clan to the ground and slaughter your entire clan, leaving not a single one alive."
The voice was cold and chilling.
From the distant depths, an aged and indifferent voice echoed: "My Demon Soul Clan is ready to await your arrival!"
Clearly, the other party was disdainful of Ling Xiao's provocation, as if it were a ridiculous thing that was not worth his attention.
Xiao Lianzhu gazed at the mountains, her brows furrowing slightly. Judging from the voice, she knew that the owner of the voice must be a master. Staying any longer might be disadvantageous for them.
"Thousand Ghost Riders, retreat!"
She gave the order, came to Ling Xiao's side, grabbed Ling Xiao's hand, and walked out.
In no time at all, it had disappeared at the end of the road.
The Thousand Ghost Riders naturally stopped fighting and retreated with Ling Xiao and Xiao Lianzhu.
Yelü Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief when they completely disappeared; the loss this time was simply too great.
After this battle, the Demon Soul Clan's cavalry had already suffered more than half its losses, with the remaining soldiers suffering from broken limbs and bodies, and in a sorry state.
The heavy casualties were mostly caused by Ling Xiao's massacre earlier!
Xiang Ying hasn't left yet.
She had something to say to the powerful figure hidden in the shadows: "You dare to openly violate the agreement made by Hong Qi back then, wantonly ignite the flames of war, and slaughter living beings. You are truly courting death!"
The aged voice paused for a moment, then rang out again:
"The contract was originally signed by the Demon Soul Clan Chief of that time, not by us now. The old contract is now null and void. Moreover, Hong Qi has long since left the Chaotic Martial Realm and his whereabouts are unknown. No one can suppress our clan anymore, can't there?"
This is infuriating, but it makes some sense. The people who signed the contract are either dead or gone, and nowadays, they are almost all irrelevant.
For the Demon Soul Clan, the reason they were forced to hide underground and recuperate for so many years was to start over. How could they possibly give up?
This group is extremely ambitious and incapable of living a peaceful life; they are natural instigators of war.
