"You've turned yourself into an idiot by trying to use forbidden power, haven't you?"
After reaching the third stage of the Lifeseizing level, Ling Xiao's fighting prowess had skyrocketed.
Even if he had to face the monster that had sent him flying with a single slap, he would be able to handle it with ease.
The Revered Ice Sword in his hand was like a scalpel, constantly slicing the monster in front of him.
However, the monster seemed to be affected by the power of the revenants. Even when it was sliced open, the wounds would heal in an instant.
It was practically immortal.
However, Ling Xiao noticed one thing. Every time he attacked, a bit of revenant power would escape from the wound, but instead of returning to the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, it would disappear into the sky.
Most likely, it would go to Paradise.
Rumor had it that when evil people died, they would go to the underworld.
When ordinary people and good people died, they would go to Paradise.
When devils became devils, they would go to the Devil World.
When immortals became immortals, they would go to the Immortal World.
Of course, Ling Xiao didn't know if the rumor was true or not. All he knew was that the souls had transformed into white light and disappeared.
The revenant power had also disappeared.
Ling Xiao was certain that if this continued, the monster Dugu Batian had transformed into would soon collapse.
However, at that very moment, something strange happened.
Ling Xiao suddenly retreated a few hundred meters, looking in the direction of the imperial palace in horror.
There, a huge shadow crawled out from the ground.
Its entire body seemed to be flowing with boiling lava. It was a bizarre sight.
It looked very human, but it was so huge that it was at least a dozen meters tall.
His eyes were burning with magma-like flames.
"You disappoint me, Dugu Batian."
The monster spoke in the human tongue.
Then it opened its mouth and inhaled.
Large amounts of revenant power flew into its mouth.
Dugu Batian quickly returned to normal, but he was clearly weak.
"Patriarch, you've finally awakened!"
Dugu Batian said excitedly. "It took me hundreds of years to awaken you. Our Sword Dynasty is saved."
"So, are you going to make a final contribution to me?"
The huge monster absorbed almost all of Dugu Bajian's undead energy and said coldly.
Ling Xiao originally thought that he was going to face an attack, but he didn't expect things to develop in a strange direction.
Thus, he retreated to the side and observed the situation.
"Old Ancestor, feel free to instruct me. As long as it's something you need, I'll definitely do it."
Dugu Bajian said.
"Hahahaha, that's for the best. I want your body. Are you willing to give it to me?"
The giant monster laughed maniacally.
Hearing this, Dugu Bajian's expression changed greatly, "Ancestor, are you joking? If it weren't for me, you would have died hundreds of years ago. You wouldn't have been able to wake up. "
"So what? Are you asking me to be grateful to you? "
The monster sneered: "As a junior of the Sword Dynasty, you should give everything you have.
What's more, once this old man has taken over your body, I can use your body to rule the entire Sword Empire, even the forces of the Nine Supremes, which are much stronger than you.
You should be able to rest in peace. "
"No! I don't want to die! I don't want it! "
Dugu Bajian's expression changed greatly.
He had always thought that he had taken every conceivable possibility into account. However, he had never expected that the Old Ancestor whom he had always carefully protected and whom he thought to be his greatest backer would instead become his most terrifying enemy.
"That's not up to you!"
The monster sneered.
Then, the giant body turned into a black smoke and pounced at Dugu Bajian.
Dugu Bajian was already very weak, so he couldn't resist the black smoke at all.
"No! Even if I have to self-destruct, I won't give my body to you! "
Dugu Bajian roared furiously as he resisted.
But it was to no avail. The black smoke continued to pour into his body.
At this moment, another person flew over from the sky.
It was the Crown Princess, Murong Qi.
"Murong Qi, save me! This old thing is just a soul now. As long as we work together, we can kill him!"
Dugu Bajian roared as if he had seen his savior.
"Work together with you? Why? With your strength, when will you be able to help my Murong clan restore the country? "
Murong Qi looked coldly at Dugu Bajian and said, "Thank you for taking care of me for so many years. Therefore, I won't kill you, but it's impossible for me to save you."
"You! You ungrateful bitch! If it wasn't for me, you would have died under the Ice Dynasty's pursuit. You actually betrayed me now. "
Dugu Bajian's heart turned cold.
He didn't know what he had done wrong.
The old ancestor that he had carefully protected wanted to take over his body.
The Crown Princess Murong Qi that he had protected and nurtured actually watched him die without saving him.
He was truly in despair.
"Your Majesty, this old servant will save you!"
Most of the cultivators who were originally loyal to Dugu Bajian looked at this scene in horror, not daring to do anything.
Only the castrated Eunuch Gao turned out to be a loyal and righteous person.
He knew that he was no match for the monster, but he wasn't willing to stand by and watch.
Ling Xiao really admired this old eunuch.
No one would hate such a loyal person.
"Are you looking to die?!"
Crown Princess Murong Qi blurred into motion, appearing directly in front of Eunuch Gao. Glaring coldly at him, she said, "Get the hell out of here, or die!"
As of this moment, Ling Xiao realized that the Crown Princess Murong Qi had been putting on an act outside of the Devil Dragon Sword Court.
Her true strength was most likely in the fifth division of the Lifeseizing level.
In other words, she was far more terrifying than Dugu Bajian.
Ignoring Murong Qi's threat, Eunuch Gao swung his horsetail whisk and attacked.
In the end, he was like a moth drawn to a flame.
Murong Qi was far stronger than he was.
With a single palm strike, she sent him flying. Most likely, he wasn't going to survive.
Ling Xiao couldn't bear to see such a loyal person die. Blurring into motion, he appeared behind Eunuch Gao and supported him.
Eunuch Gao had assumed that Ling Xiao was going to take advantage of the situation to kill him. But to his surprise, not only did Ling Xiao not kill him, he even gave him a healing pill.
"Why?"
"Your loyalty is admirable," Yang Qi said coolly.
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "Moreover, there isn't much enmity between you and me. We're just enemies."
"Please, I beg of you! Save His Majesty! You're the only one who can save him!"
Eunuch Gao cried.
"That's impossible!"
Ling Xiao said, shaking his head. "I can save you, but don't even think about saving Dugu Bajian."
Yang Qi wasn't the type of person to be overly compassionate.
He knew exactly what kind of person Dugu Bajian was. Although he was pitiful, he knew that it was just a dog-eat-dog situation.
It didn't matter who died; it would only benefit Yang Qi.
"Ling Xiao," Eunuch Gao said, "if you save me, I'll give you all of this country.
