"Snort!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his face turning somewhat gloomy, "Want to die? Fine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large sword appeared in front of him. Without hesitation, he gripped the hilt with his right hand.
The instant he gripped the broadsword, countless Saber Intent surged forth!
The next moment!
His face hardened, and then he slashed horizontally with his sword!
Bang!
Click!
The Sword Intent shattered, and Ye Lingxi was directly blasted away. However, the middle-aged man also retreated rapidly, finally managing to stop after traveling hundreds of thousands of miles.
Ye Lingxi had just steadied herself when she felt a sweet taste in her throat, followed by blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
She looked at the middle-aged man in the distance, her eyes filled with solemnity, yet also with excitement.
Because she needs such a strong person to hone her skills right now!
The middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded!
He used eighty percent of his strength in that last strike; theoretically, Ye Lingxi, who True Immortal Realm First Stage, should have been killed instantly.
But to his utter surprise, Ye Lingxi actually blocked it!
How is that possible!
The middle-aged man was shocked, and after the shock came an unprecedented heaviness.
At this moment, he realized that Ye Lingxi was very likely a top-tier prodigy!
Only the most outstanding prodigies can fight beyond their level. Although ordinary prodigies can also fight beyond their level, it is limited to those who are two levels higher than them.
Those top-tier prodigies and geniuses, however, are able to fight against people who are several minor or even major realms higher than themselves!
Such prodigies are, to be honest, very rare; even in the Upper Immortal Realm, they number no more than ten.
It should be known that the Upper Immortal Realm contains hundreds of millions of living beings, yet there are no more than a handful of such monstrous talents, which shows just how rare they are.
But it's worth mentioning that such a prodigy, if he were to grow up, would surely become an emperor!
Not the Great Emperor!
He is the Immortal Emperor!
Without exception, all of these prodigies reached the Immortal Emperor Realm!
At this moment, the middle-aged man's face was extremely ugly, and a hint of regret could be seen in his eyes.
He regretted not trying to win over Ye Lingxi, but instead choosing to be her enemy.
If Ye Lingxi doesn't die today, then he and the forces behind him are destined to be destroyed!
The middle-aged man stared at Ye Lingxi, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.
He understood that only by killing Ye Lingxi now, before she grew stronger, could he and the forces behind her avoid being destroyed in the future!
Buzz!
The middle-aged man's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a long sword thrusting towards his brow.
This sword strike was very ordinary, so ordinary that it resembled a casual thrust from an ordinary person.
Although the sword strike was ordinary, in the middle-aged man's eyes, it was enough to take his life!
The middle-aged man roared, gripped his broadsword tightly with both hands, raised it above his head, and then brought it down with a mighty chop!
Bang!
The moment the sword and the saber made contact, a shockwave beyond everyone's comprehension erupted, instantly spreading to a distance of millions of feet!
Wherever it went, it was destroyed by countless Sword Intent and Saber Intent, which was extremely terrifying.
Everyone gasped in shock at what they saw, utterly stunned.
"Holy crap, those two are absolutely terrifying!"
"Especially that woman, she just broke through to True Immortal, but she's been able to fight that middle-aged man for so long, that's just too monstrous!"
"That's right, that woman was the most outrageous!"
"Sigh~"
At this moment, an old man sighed, "I thought I was invincible, or at least I could roam freely in the Immortal Realm. But I never imagined that I would be less than an ant in front of such a true powerhouse."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have aged decades.
After hearing the old man's words, the others also fell silent, their hearts filled with the same complex emotions.
At the same time, Ye Lingxi and the middle-aged man were like two bolts of lightning, constantly intersecting and colliding in the sky, each collision unleashing a world-destroying shockwave.
Just then, Ye Lingxi seized the opportunity and thrust her sword into the middle-aged man's left chest!
With this sword strike, she still used the Return to One!
She was determined to kill with a single blow!
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically; he tried to resist, but it was too late!
Just as the sword was about to pierce the middle-aged man's left chest, Ye Lingxi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and a sense of death surged into her heart.
With a determined clench of her teeth, she instead swung her sword horizontally to the left, instead of aiming it at the middle-aged man!
Bang!
With a loud bang, Ye Lingxi was sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood mid-air!
She steadied herself, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and then looked up.
In the distance, a woman holding a long sword was looking at Ye Lingxi with a cold expression.
Everyone in the room stared at the woman in shock.
"Another powerful figure from the Upper Immortal Realm has arrived!"
"This woman is probably in danger!"
"However, that woman was incredibly skilled; she almost killed that middle-aged man!"
The woman looked at Ye Lingxi, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "You were actually able to block my sneak attack, truly a prodigy!"
Ye Lingxi stared at her coldly, without saying a word.
The middle-aged man, who had thought he was going to die, let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with fear.
Just now, he almost died!
So close!
The thought of that near-death experience made him feel suffocated!
After calming himself down, he turned to the woman and said, "Thank you."
The woman looked at the middle-aged man and then asked, "What happened? Tell me."
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then recounted what had happened.
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the woman frowned and said coldly, "Fool!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man clenched his fists, his face turning ashen, but he dared not say anything.
Because the woman before them was at the True Immortal Realm Ninth Stage Peak!
He was only at the True Immortal Realm Seventh Stage, so naturally he dared not refute the woman.
The woman glanced coldly at the middle-aged man, then looked at Ye Lingxi. As she looked at Ye Lingxi, her eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent flashed within them.
Ye Lingxi looked at the two of them, her eyes filled not with fear, but with fighting spirit!
Moreover, this fighting spirit is incredibly strong!
Without another word, she stomped her right foot, transforming into a streak of sword light as she charged towards the two people in the distance!
In secret.
Su Chen held Hu Xiaotian, calmly watching everything unfold.
Hu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, are you really not going to help the young master?"
Su Chen shook his head. "No need. What Lingxi needs right now is combat. Letting her experience a life-or-death battle will only benefit her, not harm her."
Hu Xiaotian, "But there are two of them!"
Su Chen said, "What's wrong with two people? I trust Lingxi."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Immortal Gate in the sky, a cold glint in his eyes, "However, if anyone dares to make a move, I wouldn't mind... annihilating them!"
