Batian Martial Soul

This holy pattern formation emits a dazzling light, as if it can cut through space and tear apart all obstacles.

As the Holy Mark Formation took shape, the Holy Mark Formation laid by Jiang Xiu instantly became fragile. Those patterns that were once as sharp as swords in her hands were now like paper in front of Ling Xiao's Holy Mark Formation and were easily torn apart.

Jiang Xiu only felt a powerful force coming from all directions, hitting her body fiercely, as if to tear her into pieces.

puff!
A muffled sound was heard, and Jiang Xiu could no longer bear the impact of this force. She suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned extremely pale in an instant. Her body was shaky, as if she would fall down at any time. She looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock, fear and unwillingness.

She never imagined that she would suffer such a severe blow in front of this seemingly insignificant young man.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed like a ghost and instantly appeared in front of Jiang Xiu. The black shadow was agile and quick, as if it could travel through time and space.

"How is this possible!" Jiang Xiu's voice was filled with incredible shock, and her eyes were flashing with disbelief, as if she had just witnessed a miracle that could not be explained by common sense.

She watched Ling Xiao, the man she once regarded as an ant, break through her carefully arranged magic without being able to use the power of martial arts, and come to her like a ghost.

At this moment, the smile on her face completely disappeared, replaced by solemnity and fear.

Her heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down. Her confident and determined attack not only failed to kill this seemingly weak opponent, but was easily defeated by the opponent in an extremely relaxed manner.

This huge contrast was hard for her to accept, as if the whole world had overturned her cognition at this moment.

What frightened her even more was that she realized that the young man in front of her had attainments in holy patterns far beyond her imagination.

In this special environment where he cannot use the power of martial arts, he can still display such amazing strength, which is enough to show that he has reached an unattainable height in the way of holy patterns.

Perhaps, just as she guessed in her heart, this young man has already entered the ranks of a fifth-level Holy Mark Master, a realm that she had always dreamed of but was out of reach.

However, she had no time to care about these things at the moment. Facing Ling Xiao's pressing attack, she had to react quickly.

She formed her five fingers into claws, and with a whistling force, she came straight towards Ling Xiao with a force that should not be underestimated. Her movements were swift and decisive, and she was obviously ready for a desperate fight.

However, Ling Xiao's reaction was even faster. He flashed, as if he had turned into a shadow, and easily avoided Jiang Xiu's attack. Then, he suddenly attacked, and his pair of big hands like iron clamps directly grabbed Jiang Xiu's snow-white neck.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze and the air around them became tight.

Ling Xiao's five fingers gradually exerted force, and an indescribable pressure instantly enveloped Jiang Xiu. She could clearly feel that the force was eroding her vitality bit by bit, making her feel suffocated and desperate.

She struggled desperately, trying to break free from Ling Xiao's restraints, but found that her strength was so small and powerless in front of him.

In the end, Ling Xiao didn't give her any chance to breathe. He suddenly exerted force and threw Jiang Xiu's body directly towards a huge tree. With a loud "bang", Jiang Xiu's body hit the tree trunk hard, and then slid to the ground weakly.

At this moment, she finally understood a truth: in this world, never underestimate any seemingly weak opponent, because sometimes, they may be more powerful than you can predict.

"No!" This roar contained the despair and unwillingness in Jiang Xiu's heart. Her eyes were wide open, and Ling Xiao's extremely cold face was reflected in her pupils, as if even the air around her was shaking with this strong emotion.

Her neck was tightly gripped by an invisible force, and every breath felt like a knife cutting her. The pain and fear intertwined, making her body tremble involuntarily.

The chill around Jiang Xiu was not only from the cold wind outside, but also from the cold despair deep in her heart. She tried to struggle, waving her hands helplessly in the air, but she couldn't even touch the corner of Ling Xiao's clothes.

Her voice became hoarse from excessive effort, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with resentment and anger.

"I gave you a chance," Ling Xiao's voice was cold and firm, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jiang Xiu's heart. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if the person in front of him was not a living person, but an insignificant obstacle.

"Things in this world can happen once or twice, but never three or four times! I, Ling Xiao, never leave room for leeway, and I will never give anyone a third chance."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao moved as fast as lightning. His big hands were like iron clamps, firmly grasping Jiang Xiu's waist. Without any hesitation, he lifted her up high, and then suddenly smashed her against the thick giant tree beside him.

This attack contained all of Ling Xiao's anger and strength, as if it was going to crush all the dissatisfaction and obstacles in this one attack.

"Crack!" With a deafening sound, the giant tree broke apart under Ling Xiao's terrifying power, wood chips flew everywhere, branches and leaves fluttered. And Jiang Xiu, her body was ruthlessly thrown out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.

She felt as if all her internal organs had shifted out of place, and a mouthful of blood flowed out uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth, mixed with broken teeth and fragments of internal organs, looking particularly miserable.

What was even more frightening was that the sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard in the silent air. It came from inside Jiang Xiu's body, announcing the pain and damage she was enduring. She lay on the ground with her eyes wide open, full of disbelief and deep despair.

She had never thought that she would end up like this, and she had never expected that Ling Xiao would be so desperate to save his mother and even be so cruel to her.

Ling Xiao stood there, looking at the scene in front of him, without any fluctuation in his eyes. In his mind, there was only one thought, that was to rescue his mother. Anyone who stood in his way would be an obstacle that he had to clear.

Even if the other person is a woman, even if she has a stunning appearance, it cannot change his decision. Because in Ling Xiao's world, family affection and responsibility always come first. (End of this chapter)
