Chapter 107: The Soul of Sacred Crystal (Part 2)

  He glanced sideways at his own severed arm, seemingly feeling no pain, and the blue eyes were also filled with disdain.

  That broken arm, after falling to the ground, evaporated like a wisp of smoke.

  At the moment when his arm was severed and vaporized, a sound of bone growth came from the broken arm of Gluttony. The left arm of Gluttony was covered with countless black vines like adhesive substances at the broken end, gradually entwining each other, growing out a new arm. What's most surprising is that the strength of this new arm seems to be even harder than the severed one just now.

  The glutton raised his newly grown arm, quite proud and arrogant, pinched his palm, and contemptuously let out a provocative scream at Li Ling.

  Facing the provocation of Taotie, Li Ling remained unmoved. His white long hair danced in the wind, and his heart was as calm as a mirror surface, completely indifferent and not surprised that Taotie could regenerate at super speed.

  "Pitiful. Thinking that with super-speed regeneration, you can do as you please." Li Ling's eyes were filled with a pitiful gaze, as if looking at an inferior creature. He lightly raised his right hand, holding it horizontally in front of him. The clear tattoo-like markings on his arm suddenly lit up, changing from their original light gray color to a bright golden hue, like molten gold flowing across his arm.

  "If you think you can comprehend the soul of the Sacred Crystal with just this bit of strength, I can only say that you are extremely ignorant." Li Ling grasped the silver long sword and slashed it in the air a couple of times without using any power, step by step approaching the Glutton.

  Tan Dou was stunned by Li Ling's faint yet terrifying aura, which seemed to emanate from another soul within his body. If someone could exert such immense power through a body that wasn't their own, their true strength would be truly fearsome.

  Facing such a strong enemy, Taotie raised his black left arm, his right hand tightly grasping his left arm, his five fingers forming a claw shape, gathering strength. A energy sphere condensed from black light particles emitted a high-pitched whine, tearing through space in an instant. With a flick of Taotie's wrist, the energy sphere shot out, carrying with it a trail of black light that distorted the surrounding space.

  This dark energy ball, in some sense, is a bit like an extremely small black hole.

  White-haired Li Ling did not stop moving forward due to the energy ball's frontal attack, which seemed like a black hole. Instead, he made a feint with his sword towards the energy ball's front, and... an invisible force, like light speed, distorted the space that was originally twisted, causing the energy ball to change direction in mid-air, deviating 90 degrees to one side, and crashing into a house built of rocks. With a loud rumble, the house was instantly engulfed by the energy ball's expanding energy, leaving behind a perfectly round large pit on the ground.

  It's clear that the energy ball of that black spot indeed has the principle of a black hole's absorption.

  Gluttony saw that his long-range attack was ineffective against himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little more wary of the white-haired Li Ling. With a loud roar, he took advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack first, rushing towards Li Ling at high speed, almost as if he had teleported.

  Li Ling calmly watched the direction of the incoming attack, and even though the attacker's shadow was as fast as lightning, Li Ling could still capture its clear trajectory. With a casual swing of his sword, he blocked the attack in mid-air with a "peng" sound, and the sound of clashing weapons echoed out. A black scythe-like dagger clashed against Li Ling's silver longsword, and the two weapons crossed to form an "X". An invisible shockwave rippled through the ground as the two forces collided, causing it to shudder violently and split open a deep chasm over 10 meters deep. The entire ancient city was torn in two by the force of their single exchange.

  Li Ling drew out a sword, and the gluttonous body was struck flying away. Although Li Ling's feet were empty, he could stand in mid-air without relying on any substance. In his arms, he unknowingly held a delicate body that had quietly fainted. After being bounced away, the gluttonous body needed to jump away and land on another rooftop.

  Standing on the rooftop, the gourmand raised his scythe-like right arm, looking at the black thorn on it. With a "peng" sound, it was suddenly disintegrated into tiny stars in mid-air, shattered by that one blow.

  What's even more astonishing is that the time it took for the exchange just now was absolutely less than one-tenth of a second. When Li Ling was fighting with himself, when did he have the chance to hold An Jing in his arms? This speed, not to mention that An Jing didn't see clearly, but An Jing couldn't believe that Li Ling would have had the leisure to save An Jing in that strike just now.

  Li Ling lowered his head and calmly looked at the quiet in his arms, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of melancholy light flickered in his eyes.

  "Don't worry, I'll retrieve the Soul of the Sacred Crystal, you won't die." Li Ling said, holding An Jing's gentle and quiet body.

  But it's clear that Li Ling at this moment is not the previous Li Ling, but an unknown Li Ling, a soul contained in the thunder that descended from the black cloud just now.

  "Who are you?" Gluttony recalled the thunder of Mo Xuyou from earlier and let out a scream, but the scream had some language component to it, which Li Ling could still understand.

  Li Ling didn't bother to respond to the glutton's question, instead gently smoothing out her quiet and soft hair. Her eyes showed a hint of pity as she calmly said: "Who I am is not important, what's important is that if you don't hand over the Soul Crystal, there will only be one path left - death."

  Gluttony let out a strange, cold laugh, his black wings unfolding as he flapped them in the air, standing aloft and gazing at Li Ling suspended in mid-air above the chasm that had just split open.

  "The soul of the sacred crystal, where the capable reside." The gluttonous and arrogant gaze fell upon Li Ling, who was suspended in mid-air. Although it used its own beast tribe's language, at this moment, Li Ling seemed to be able to understand any language fluently.

  "Those who are capable, how pitiful. A frog at the bottom of a well is also worthy of being called capable. In this vast world, among all things, those who can be called capable can be counted on one's fingers. What kind of capable person are you?" Li Ling raised his head, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he had the intention to kill.

  In this cold and flashing gaze, Taotie saw a faint anger in Li Ling's heart. That faint anger seemed to be able to change other people's minds, and Taotie was shocked and speechless. At the same time, Taotie also knew that Li Ling was about to make his move, and for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little timid, after all, in terms of strength, Taotie was indeed far inferior to Li Ling at this moment.

  Just as the two were about to collide, a mass of purple flames floated out from under the altar of the six-pointed star array. To find out what was happening outside, one could see Li Ling standing in mid-air, and the purple flames burst forth with cries of reverence, knowing that this Li Ling was not the previous Li Ling, but another soul worthy of reverence.

  Li Ling slightly tilted his head back, glanced at the group of purple flames that were murmuring in agreement, and with a hint of anger in his eyes, said: "It was you bunch of fools who brought this wild beast to Earth."

  Although the purple flame didn't show any expression, the degree of its shaking represented their fear. At this moment, the purple flame was shaking violently, as if it was extremely afraid of the soul inside Li Ling's body.

  But who is the soul inside Li Ling's body? Perhaps even Zihuo doesn't know. But the feeling of reverence is not wrong, because the soul inside Li Ling's body is absolutely a super strong being.

  One of the purple flames was more majestic and larger than the others, and it floated out first, waving its flame at Li Ling in a gesture of respect.

  "I'm sorry, it's our dereliction of duty. We're also thinking of ways to deal with this matter." Zi Huo's tone was extremely reverent, as if he were revering a deity.

  Li Ling didn't say any more blaming words, he just threw An Jing far away to the purple flame thousands of meters away. An Jing's body slowly floated in front of the purple flame, and slowly fell to the ground.

  A woman emerged from the side, seemingly Mandala. Mandala picked up Anjing and looked at Li Ling who was standing in mid-air with a strange gaze, but Mandala's intuition told him that this person suspended in the air was absolutely not Li Ling.

  "Who are you? Why possess the body of Junwu?" Mandala's eyes were filled with worry as she gazed at Li Ling, who was suspended in mid-air.

  Li Ling just smiled coldly and didn't respond to Mandala's words. With a sudden leap, he stepped on the air and rushed towards Piao Yu.

  Gluttony felt a sudden sense of fear in his heart, knowing that this battle was inevitable. This time, the opponent made the first move, and although their speed wasn't fast, Gluttony didn't know how to react.

  Hmph...

  Li Ling had not yet reached the side of Gao Leng, but in mid-air, he randomly slashed out with his sword. This slash was more like a casual swing of Li Ling's sword in the empty air than an attack on Gao Leng. However, unexpectedly, the sharp blade of the sword appeared right in front of Gao Leng due to a spatial displacement.

  Facing the sudden appearance of an invisible sword blade, Taotie was terrified. Apart from a terrified scream, his powerful fists were raised to resist the invisible sword blade that was chopping at his body, without any other moves.

  But sadly, no matter how resilient Taotie's body was, it couldn't withstand the intangible blade of this randomly swung sword. As a result, under the deafening crash, Taotie's body split in two with a cracking sound, like shattering glass, from its head to its abdomen, as if a sheet of paper had been cut into two halves by scissors.

  Li Ling stood again in mid-air at a height of 100 meters, coldly gazing down at the gluttons below.

  Mandala was stunned by Li Ling's previous move, while the Purple Flames seemed to think it was a matter of course.

  "What kind of power is this?" The strong notion in Mandala's mind completely collapsed. If he had to think of a god whose power could match Li Ling's at this moment, Mandala could only give one answer: no god's power could match Li Ling's at this moment.

  Its body split in two, but its aura remained, and its torso suddenly melted into a black whirlpool that swallowed the building below it in an instant.

  Li Lingxu narrowed his eyes, swung the long sword in his hand, and smiled calmly: "Finally willing to show your true face."
