Chapter 203 The Might of the Lingxiao Sword
She became very interested in the exquisite sword formation used by Xiao Lie and his companions, and came here specifically to investigate.
Afu, Xiaoman, and Shizi came to Xiaolie's side.
Xiaoman looked at the woman who had suddenly intervened in the battle, her face full of confusion.
He asked Hua Lingxing, "Sister Yang, what happened? We're still in the middle of a battle."
But Shi Zi suggested, "Let's retreat first. The Qin army is too numerous, and my internal energy is almost exhausted."
Hua Lingxing stared intently at the woman wielding the Orange Frost Sword, a solemn expression on her face.
She said in a deep voice, "Given the current situation, I'm afraid we can no longer afford to retreat easily."
Cheng Shuang's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her smile became even brighter.
She looked at Xiao Lie gently and asked, "Little guy, what's your name?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Lingxing's brows furrowed slightly, and a look of vigilance flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Shi Zi's doubts deepened, and he looked at the mysterious woman.
"Sister, who are you? This is a battlefield, it's very dangerous."
"Let's defeat the Qin army first, then we can discuss this in detail..."
Before Shi Zi could finish speaking, Hua Lingxing interrupted him.
Her tone was stern and left no room for argument: "Stone, shut up!"
Shi Zi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why.
Shi Lingxing, looking nervous, whispered to the others, "This person is Cheng Shuang, the sixth-ranked member of the Shadow Organization!"
Upon hearing this, the four members of the group were all shocked and exclaimed in unison, "What? People from the Shadow Organization?"
Xiao Lie was the first to react and wanted to rush forward to fight Cheng Shuang.
However, before he could make a move, Hua Lingxing stopped him with her hand.
"Xiao Lie, don't be impulsive. We are no match for her," Hua Lingxing calmly advised.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuang smiled calmly and waved her hand gently, indicating that everyone did not need to be nervous.
"Please do not panic, everyone. I have no intention of fighting with you. I just found this young man's swordsmanship quite unique and became curious, so I would like to exchange a few words with him."
Shi Lingxing was secretly anxious, so she urged everyone, "Let's evacuate immediately."
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from not far away, and a group of Qin soldiers quickly approached.
Seeing that everyone wanted to leave, Cheng Shuang was not about to let them go so easily.
She flashed and instantly appeared beside Xiao Lie, gently pressing his shoulder.
Xiao Lie felt a strong force coming from him, and he involuntarily fell to the ground.
Faced with Cheng Shuang's ghostly speed, Poetry Spirit Star, Wine Spirit Star, Flower Spirit Star, and Tea Spirit Star...
Afu, Shizi, Xiaoman, and the other four reacted almost simultaneously, each drawing their swords or gripping their guns, and rushed towards her without hesitation.
A tense and ominous atmosphere filled the air as a thrilling siege began.
Poetry Star is as light and graceful as the brightest star in the night sky.
She was the first to use the Illusionary Spirit Technique. The sword light flashed, creating countless sword shadows that intertwined into an impenetrable sword net, attempting to trap Cheng Shuang within it.
Wine Spirit Star and Tea Spirit Star followed closely behind, their swordsmanship complementing each other, combining offense and defense, forming a perfect synergy with Poetry Spirit Star's sword net.
However, as the sixth-ranked member of the Shadow Organization, Cheng Shuang possessed extraordinary strength and was able to handle the combined attack of three people with ease.
She twirled lightly, moving gracefully among the sword shadows as if in a dance.
Each swing of his sword perfectly neutralized the opponent's attack, and he could even launch a counterattack occasionally, forcing the three of them to concentrate fully and not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Meanwhile, Hua Lingxing, Afu, Shizi, and Xiaoman unleashed their exquisite divine skills.
This martial art emphasizes teamwork, requiring four people to be of one mind and move in unison, as if they were one.
The four figures intertwined, their spears and swords weaving together to create magnificent patterns. Each strike contained profound internal energy, attempting to overpower the opponent and force Cheng Shuang to reveal a weakness.
However, Cheng Shuang's strength far surpassed that of the others, and even when faced with the powerful attack of the four of them working together, she was still able to deal with it calmly.
She moved swiftly from left to right, sometimes engaging in close combat, sometimes launching long-range attacks. Every move she made was precise and deadly, forcing the four men to retreat step by step, making it difficult for them to get close.
The battle gradually intensified, with the seven attacking Cheng Shuang, but they were unable to gain the upper hand for a long time.
On the contrary, Cheng Shuang's attacks became increasingly fierce, each swing of her sword seemingly cleaving through the void, inspiring fear in all who beheld her.
But the seven did not give up. They knew that only by uniting as one could they possibly defeat this powerful enemy.
The Qin soldiers witnessed the fierce battle between the eight men and felt a sense of awe. They knew that the gap between themselves and these martial artists with profound inner strength was as wide as a chasm.
Even as soldiers, possessing stronger physiques and better training than ordinary people, they are nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree in front of these martial artists.
So they wisely chose to avoid this battle they couldn't intervene in, and instead launched a fierce charge against the Ling Kingdom soldiers, instantly making the situation on the battlefield even more complicated.
Xiao Lie struggled to his feet amidst violent coughing, his eyes filled with both resentment and fear.
The scene of the seven people surrounding and attacking Orange Frost was particularly spectacular, but the result was disappointing.
Cheng Shuang easily sent all seven people flying one by one by herself.
Her strength is evident.
Seeing Xiao Lie struggling to get up from the ground, Cheng Shuang flashed to his side.
She stretched out her delicate hand, intending to grab Xiao Lie, but suddenly sensed an inexplicable danger approaching from the side.
Cheng Shuang reacted extremely quickly, immediately abandoning her attempt to capture Xiao Lie. She turned to the side and struck out with a palm, the wind from which was sharp and accompanied by the sound of air being cut.
Using the recoil from that palm strike, she gracefully floated backward, like a falling leaf in the wind.
Once she landed steadily, her gaze sharpened, and she recognized the newcomer. She couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Ling Wang Liu Lingzhen!"
The sudden arrival of the Spirit King truly surprised Cheng Shuang.
She never expected that at this crucial moment, the Spirit King would be able to defeat Mo You and Lan Li and come here to rescue Xiao Lie and the others.
Mo You and Lan Li also arrived at Cheng Shuang's side at this time. The three of them stood side by side with solemn expressions.
The Spirit King's deep eyes were fixed on the three of them, as if assessing the current situation.
He then gave instructions to Shi Lingxing and the others in a deep voice.
"Poet Spirit Star, lead them to retreat immediately! Make sure they are safe."
As we retreat, we will sound the retreat drums to let everyone know of our actions.
Upon hearing this, the four spirit stars immediately responded in unison, "Yes, Spirit King!"
With the Spirit King's order given, a tense but orderly retreat quickly unfolded.
Shi Lingxing and the others carefully protected Xiao Lie and retreated to a safe place. At this moment, the sound of war drums for retreat resounded through the sky, conveying the signal to retreat.
After they left, the Spirit King stared at Cheng Shuang and the other two, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Have you all always wanted to know my true strength? Today I will show you!"
Meanwhile, some of the Qin generals and soldiers who were not far away rode up on horseback, intending to besiege King Ling.
The Spirit King remained unmoved. He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and the Lingxiao Sword emitted a dazzling purple light in his hands, as if it wanted to devour everything.
Mo You sensed the terrifying power of the Spirit King's move and saw the Qin army surging in like a tide, so he shouted, "Everyone, retreat!"
But it was too late. The Spirit King leaped up like a dragon soaring through the heavens, and the Spirit Sword, crackling with purple lightning, plunged into the ground.
Instantly, a destructive power erupted from the center of the Spirit King, radiating purple light and enveloping the entire battlefield.
When the light faded, the Qin army that had originally intended to besiege King Ling had vanished without a trace, leaving only a devastated battlefield.
The Spirit King was pale, but he still stood firm, his eyes filled with confidence in his own power.
Although Mo You, Lan Li, and Cheng Shuang retreated in time, they were ragged and their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Zi Yan witnessed this scene from behind and also showed an incredulous expression, muttering to himself, "I never expected that Spirit King Liu Lingzhen would have such a terrifying move."
The eldest prince, Zhao Hai, coughed repeatedly from the dust. Once the coughing subsided, he angrily shouted at the distant King Ling.
"Liu Lingzhen, what are you doing? This prince is..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cough.
The Spirit King coldly stared at Mo You and the other two in the distance, his tone laced with sarcasm.
"How do you all feel about my strength?"
The three remained silent, and an awkward atmosphere ensued.
At this moment, the eldest prince Zhao Hai arrived not far behind Mo You and the other two with Zi Yan. He stared at the Spirit King with a sinister look in his eyes, as if he was plotting something.
