Ye Lingxi ignored Hu Xiaotian and instead looked down at the already destroyed Luo City. After a long silence, she sighed, "The strong can arbitrarily eliminate the weak. This world is truly unfair."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Isn't this how the cultivation Immortal Realm is?"
Ye Lingxi whispered, "If I hadn't met my brother, I probably would have died long ago."
As she spoke, a smile that could dim the gloom of the world appeared on her face. "It's so good to have met you, brother."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "You are indeed very lucky to have met an older brother whose strength is almost invincible."
Ye Lingxi chuckled, "Yes, that's great."
Hu Xiaotian asked, "What are your plans next? Are you still playing?"
Ye Lingxi shook her head and said, "No, I'm planning to find a quiet place to break through."
Hu Xiaotian, "Are you ready to go to the Upper Immortal Realm?"
Ye Lingxi nodded and said, "Yes, we can't keep playing, otherwise when will I be able to surpass my brother and protect him?"
Hu Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Surpassing my master, that's very difficult."
Ye Lingxi said, "That's why I need to cultivate even harder."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Then I wish you success."
Ye Lingxi smiled but didn't say anything. Then, she picked up Hu Xiaotian, turned around, and left. She wanted to find a secluded place to break through her cultivation barrier.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After a month of searching, Ye Lingxi finally found a suitable place to break through her limitations.
This is an endless desert, a sea of golden sand stretching out, with gusts of wind whipping up the sky, each gust enough to take the life of a cultivator!
Moreover, unknown dangers, such as ferocious beasts, exist in this desert, so almost no one comes here.
Above the desert, Ye Lingxi was flying. The fierce winds that were attacking her dissipated automatically a thousand meters away from her.
For a powerhouse at the False Immortal Realm Ninth Layer Peak, neither the gales nor the ferocious beasts here would pose a threat, so Ye Lingxi was naturally not afraid of this place.
Hu Xiaotian, nestled in Ye Lingxi's arms, suddenly asked, "Are you really planning to break through here?"
Ye Lingxi nodded and said, "Yes, no one will disturb me if I break through here."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. "That's true."
Just then, a sudden change occurred. The once calm desert began to tremble, and in the next moment, hundreds of ferocious beasts surged out of the sand.
Leading the pack was a giant scorpion, a thousand feet in size. Its body was purple, and its two pincers, larger than its body, were black, like hard, indestructible iron.
The other ferocious beasts all stood behind the giant scorpion, which seemed to be their leader.
At this moment, the giant scorpion and all the ferocious beasts stared intently at Ye Lingxi in the air, their gazes as if they were looking at prey.
Ye Lingxi remained expressionless, calmly watching the giant scorpion below.
Hu Xiaotian looked up at Ye Lingxi and asked, "Should I make a move?"
Ye Lingxi shook her head. "No need."
Just then, the giant scorpion suddenly raised its right pincer, pointing it at Ye Lingxi, and then let out a low hiss.
Upon hearing this roar, all the ferocious beasts immediately flew into the void, heading straight for Ye Lingxi. The eyes of each beast were incredibly scarlet, ferocious, and terrifying.
Buzz!
Just then, a sword rang out in the arena.
The Fallen Phoenix Sword had appeared in Ye Lingxi's hands without her noticing.
Ye Lingxi coldly watched the ferocious beast charging towards her, and then she slashed down with her sword.
Return to One!
Pfft!
As the sword fell, hundreds of ferocious beasts instantly turned into countless fragments, and large amounts of blood mixed with chunks of flesh fell from the void.
The giant scorpion was completely dumbfounded by what it saw.
My little brother is gone just like that?
That's all?
Holy crap!
The giant scorpion, realizing what was happening, turned and ran without hesitation!
This woman is terrifying!
Run!
In the blink of an eye, the giant scorpion vanished; its escape speed was truly outrageous!
That's absolutely amazing!
Hu Xiaotian's lips twitched. "This guy runs really fast."
Ye Lingxi didn't speak, but looked in the direction the giant scorpion had fled. Then, she glanced at the Fallen Phoenix Sword in her hand, and then threw it away!
The Fallen Phoenix Sword was extremely fast, stirring up towering waves of sand wherever it passed.
Ye Lingxi gazed ahead, her eyes serene.
Buzz!
A moment later, the sound of a sword ringing out rang out in the arena Fallen Phoenix Sword flew in from afar and finally stopped in front of Ye Lingxi.
Drops of blood dripped from the tip of the Fallen Phoenix Sword; this blood was the blood of the giant scorpion.
Ye Lingxi reached out and grasped the sword hilt, then gently wiped the blood from the blade. She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Buzz!
The Fallen Phoenix Sword emitted a buzzing sound, as if to say, "You're welcome."
Ye Lingxi smiled and quickly wiped the blood off the blade of the Fallen Phoenix Sword.
Hu Xiaotian asked, "Are we still on our way?"
Ye Lingxi glanced around and then said, "There shouldn't be any more ferocious beasts here, so I'll break through here."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep watch for you. You can focus on your breakthrough."
Ye Lingxi smiled slightly, "Okay."
Having said that, she stopped dawdling and immediately sat cross-legged, her eyes tightly closed. Her aura surged wildly at that moment.
Hu Xiaotian glanced at Ye Lingxi, and then his body suddenly grew larger, instantly expanding to several thousand feet in size. He then enveloped Ye Lingxi with his body, while he looked around warily.
If anything unexpected were to happen to Ye Lingxi during her breakthrough, he would be severely injured by Su Chen, even if he didn't die. Therefore, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he decisively restored his physical body.
The Upper Immortal Realm.
Eastern Region.
Wu Clan.
Inside a large hall, the place was packed with people, all of whom were elders of the Wu Clan.
The person sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man. He was tall and exuded a strong sense of pressure.
Wu Yuanzhou, the clan chief of the Wu Clan!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was heavy. Every elder of the Wu Clan had a solemn expression, and their eyes even revealed anger.
"Chief! Something terrible has happened!"
Just then, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw the old man who had been chased away by Ye Lingxi earlier rushing into the main hall.
The old man walked to the center of the hall, then knelt down, his face contorted with grief, and cried out, "Clan leader, the young master has been killed, and I was severely injured by that person... pfft!"
As he spoke, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura became extremely weak.
Wu Yuanzhou looked at the old man calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He didn't speak, but stared at the old man.
The old man, being stared at like that, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and back, his heart pounding wildly, terrified.
As time ticked by, the old man, stared at by Wu Tianzhou, could barely breathe, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear.
