It could be said that the outcome of a battle between Martial Saints could be determined with just a few moves. The danger involved could be imagined.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Zhan had exchanged over ten blows with the assassin in black. If not for the assassin in black, or the fact that the ghost had the backing of a Martial Saint, he would have already been defeated.
But like this, she was constantly suppressed and was at an absolute disadvantage. She only had the ability to resist and did not have the strength to fight back.
This was because Ling Zhan was no ordinary Martial Saint. Back then, he was known as the top genius of the Yuan Territory. In the entire Yuan Territory, there were few who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Even if he had only broken through for a short period of time, his combat prowess was definitely comparable to that of an old Martial Saint. He would definitely be able to battle those above his cultivation realm.
After colliding with Ling Zhan once again, their silhouettes intersected. Ling Zhan held the Thunder Flame Heaven Piercing Halberd in his hands, looking dignified and domineering.
As for the ghosts, their hands were covering their chests as they continuously coughed out blood. The blood had long dyed their black robes red, and their left arms were almost completely cut off.
"You've lost!" Ling Zhan held the Thunder Flame Heaven Breaking Halberd in his hand, the tip of his halberd scraping the ground in a blinding manner. Even though he had experienced a great battle, his body was spotless. His voice was flat as he calmly spoke, his breathing steady.
In the hazy night, the clear and cold moonlight shone through the leaves, illuminating the entire forest. The shadows of the trees could be seen dancing in the air.
Ling Zhan wielded a ten-foot-long halberd. His long black hair and his green robe danced in the wind, giving him a domineering yet ethereal appearance.
Unknowingly, Ling'er had appeared beside Lingyun. Her beautiful eyes shone with splendor as she looked at the domineering yet elegant Ling Zhan. "No wonder Aunt Qing liked him back then," she muttered.
The corner of Ling Yun's eyes twitched as he looked at Ling Zhan in a daze. In all these years, he had never seen Ling Zhan in such a state.
The impression Ling Zhan gave him was that of a dispirited, old man without a shred of spirit.
But now, it gave off a feeling of confidence and high spirits. Perhaps, the knot in his heart had been resolved!
Beside him was Yan Lu, who was protecting him. Wang Ting and the other high-ranking officers who were hiding in their houses were so excited that their eyes almost filled with tears. The prince they had sworn to follow had returned.
In a small courtyard in the War King's Mansion, Liu Xian and Ning Tianya were leisurely playing chess. As they landed, they would occasionally glance at a screen of light formed by a Spiritual Array. The scene on the screen was exactly what happened outside the War King's Mansion.
"Sigh!" Ning Tianya suddenly let out a light sigh. His old eyes were cloudy as he absent-mindedly looked at Ling Zhan within the light screen. "He, has returned again!" I thought he was going to stay depressed. "
"That's right!" Glancing at Ling Yun, who was surrounded by many guards from the Duke's Mansion, he softly said: "Did you notice that just now, the steps and secret techniques he used to dodge the assassin were very similar to those in the legends?"
"Wandering Dragon Step, Cloud Void Technique." Ning Tianya nodded lightly. His expression was inexplicable and complicated. With a light cough, a stream of black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He looked even older as he said softly, "It should be him."
"You want to leave?" Suddenly, Liu Xian raised his white brows. His long hair fluttered in the wind and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
With a wave of his wide and simple sleeve, the Spiritual Aura within the world surged out. Countless Spiritual Seals instantly condensed and formed a river of Spiritual Seals that shot out, sweeping towards the outside of the War King's Manor and forming a gigantic trap array.
