Unlike the Ling family's strong hopes, Ye Xiruo only felt a sense of helplessness; she was now in a bind. She hadn't expected Ling Feng to break through, and if he was going to break through, he should have done so completely before coming out. Instead, he came out with a head full of lightning tribulation; it was clearly courting death.
Ling Feng's hasty breakthrough meant he certainly hadn't prepared any comprehensive magical artifacts to resist the tribulation lightning. The heavenly tribulation lightning alone was already enough to give him a hard time, but he didn't expect to have to be distracted by Han Lin and the others' underhanded tactics. Han Lin and the others couldn't get close to Ling Feng, but they could certainly use human lives to interfere with his breakthrough, hoping that Ling Feng would die under the tribulation lightning.
Why not sacrifice a few magical artifacts? Heh! If the Heavenly Tribulation were foolish, it could discern the artifact's owner from its aura and destroy it as a provocation. Humans are different; they're just cannon fodder anyway. Would Han Lin care about the lives of these Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators? Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with tribulations; these sacrifices are necessary.
"Men, kill them all! It would be best to wipe out the entire Ling family before Ling Feng's tribulation ends." Han Lin was indeed a villain.
"Yan'er, Lingyue, don't stay either. There are plenty of fish in the sea. For the sake of the Han family's great cause."
"I will follow my father's decision."
"Good, as expected of my son, Han Lin."
"Don't hold back. After killing Ling Yue, what about Ling Xue? Find her and kill her! I want to see what Ling Feng will choose." Will he give up his breakthrough and attack in anger? Or will he be cold-blooded and ruthless, watching his two daughters die before his eyes without doing anything?
Han Lin is a pervert.
A look of despair flashed across Ling Yue's stunningly beautiful face. It seemed she was doomed today. She had given up all hope for Ye Xiruo. Since the start of the battle, Ye Xiruo had vanished as if she had disappeared. This was for the best, to avoid being implicated.
"Han Lin, I will repay you tenfold for everything you have done to my Ling family." Ling Feng was furious. His mind raced for a moment, and a bolt of lightning struck him mercilessly in the chest, tearing his skin and flesh apart.
Han Lin grinned and sneered, "You wish? You'd better survive the heavenly tribulation first, hahaha, just don't get struck dead."
Ling Feng was furious, but utterly helpless. Half of the heavenly tribulation had already passed, and the rest would become increasingly difficult. Whether he could survive it was another matter entirely.
"Even if you die, you must survive the Heavenly Tribulation. You know better than I do the consequences of failure." The voice belonged to his benefactor, who was nearby.
"You don't need to look for me, and you don't need to count on me. Today, you are the only one who can change the inevitable demise of the Ling family."
"Please, senior, help protect Yue'er and Xue'er. I am willing to serve you like a slave to repay your life-saving grace."
The Ling family is all the same. As the young master of the Pill King Palace, she gets whatever she wants. Once her rank rises a bit higher, even more people will flock to her, kneeling before her, eager to pledge their allegiance. Ling Feng's offer holds absolutely no appeal.
“Senior, as long as the Ling family still exists, I am willing to give half of the profits to you.”
Tsk tsk, giving away spirit stones so openly, Ling Yue isn't too stupid after all, cough cough! Luckily, it was her. If it were a proud alchemist, she would have given away the entire Ling family. How could half of it be worthy of my status?
The Ling family is so large, their annual income should be quite a lot of spirit stones. Should she make a move or not? Ye Xiruo was a little conflicted for the time being.
"Ling Yue, stop struggling in your death throes. No one can save you or the Ling family in a few days. You should just accept your fate. Maybe I'll take pity on you and let you die a quick death."
Ling Yue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a hint of mockery flashing across her cold and beautiful face: "A defeated opponent, yet you dare to bark at me."
Han Lei's face immediately filled with rage: "Ling Yue, you're asking for death. I originally wanted to give you four a quick death, but now I've changed my mind. I'm going to make you wish you were dead."
"Come on, even if I die, it won't change the fact that you are my defeated opponent. This will become your eternal psychological shadow, and you will never be able to break through in this life." Ling Yue's angry roar entered Han Lei's ears like curses: "Shut up, shut up! A dead genius is worse than a piece of trash. Don't worry, even if you die, your body will definitely not be spared. I have long wanted to taste the deliciousness of the eldest daughter of the Ling family."
"You're shameless." Ling Yue's eyes were as cold as if they were spitting poison. If Senior Ye still decided not to make a move today, she would definitely choose to self-destruct and take Han Lei down with her. That wouldn't be a loss.
"Sigh." As the chaotic battle resumed, unlike before, it was now entirely composed of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators. Han Lin, Han Yan's master, and the two elders of the Han family remained motionless in mid-air, observing Ling Feng's movements. Today, Ling Feng must die here.
Whether Ling Feng lives or dies is not important. What is important is that if Ling Feng is cornered and makes a desperate counterattack, none of them are confident that they can stop him. So they are all watching and waiting for Ling Feng to die under the heavenly tribulation, which is the safest way.
Ye Xiruo naturally understood the current situation. If it was just like this, there was still a chance. Those old fogies were very afraid of their lives, so don't blame her for going on a killing spree.
Ye Xiruo's eyes instantly turned silver-white, a manifestation of her spiritual power. The blood-red light of the Que Xue sword in her hand flowed, as if she couldn't wait to fight.
Right then and there, Ye Xiruo's figure moved like a ghost, instantly appearing behind Han Lei. Her blood-stained sword swiftly slashed across Han Lei's neck. Ye Xiruo's attack was fast and precise; Han Lei, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, offered no resistance whatsoever, and was struck on the neck. After this fatal blow, Ye Xiruo quickly vanished into the crowd once more.
Ling Yue, who was already prepared to self-destruct, thrust her sword straight at Han Lei's chest. Han Lin, still in mid-air, roared, "Lei'er—!"
"Second brother—" Han Yan roared and lunged at Ling Yue. They barely saw Ye Xiruo's figure and naturally assumed that Han Lei had died at Ling Yue's hands. They wished they could tear Ling Yue to pieces to vent their hatred.
When Ling Yue came to her senses, she only saw blood gushing from Han Lei's neck, his own sword embedded in his chest, his face twisted and contorted, looking as if he had died with his eyes wide open in disbelief. Then she instantly realized that Ye Xiruo had made her move. So, her senior had agreed to her conditions. Great! The Ling family was finally saved.
In Ling Yue's mind, Ye Xiruo had been infinitely deified and could do things that ordinary people could not do.
