Xu Xingzhi's hands kept changing hand seals, and strange black lines crawled onto his already unremarkable face.
Having completed the formation, he chuckled and replied, "That's right, isn't that surprising?"
After today, Xi Ling'er will become an ant that he can crush at will.
In front of her, he no longer needed to pretend.
Xi Ling'er's body was trapped by the binding magic array.
Holding a long sword, she cast a spell to break the formation while rebuking Xu Xingzhi: "How can you, a human, cultivate the evil arts of the demon race? Aren't you afraid of going berserk and ending up dead?"
Seeing that Xi Ling'er's spiritual power had no effect on the formation, Xu Xingzhi laughed even more wildly.
"What's wrong with cultivating the demonic arts? As long as it makes me stronger, I don't care what method I use."
He spread his hands, and uncontrollable demonic energy danced at his fingertips.
"Since I started practicing this demonic secret technique a few years ago, my cultivation has increased rapidly. In time, all of you so-called geniuses will be trampled under my feet!"
Xi Ling'er glanced at him with disdain, her eyes full of contempt.
"You?"
"Even with the evil arts you've practiced, you're only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. I'm really curious, if you hadn't practiced these evil arts, just how weak would your cultivation be?"
Xu Xingzhi is already twenty years old.
Reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm at the age of twenty is utterly pathetic compared to true geniuses.
And this is how they dare to say they want to trample all the geniuses in the cultivation world under their feet?
That's quite a boast...aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?
Xu Xingzhi hates it most when people look down on him.
Hearing Xi Ling'er's words, anger filled his eyes. He stared intently at Xi Ling'er and said through gritted teeth, "Are you looking for death?"
"What? You're bad at cooking, so you won't let people criticize you?" Xi Ling'er didn't take him seriously at all.
Xu Xingzhi: "You..."
Xi Ling'er narrowed her eyes and asked, "Since you've cultivated demonic arts, does that mean you, like Ling Mo, have also colluded with the demons?"
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her, and her eyes widened abruptly.
"No, you're the one who's actually colluding with the demons?"
Xi Ling'er questioned in a deep voice, "Was the tragedy that befell the Ling family your doing?"
Now that I think about it, the rumors that Ling Mo practiced demonic arts and that his demonic energy went out of control and harmed his whole family seem to have originated from the Xu family.
As for what happened at the scene, apart from the Xu family, none of them had ever seen it with their own eyes.
If Xu Xingzhi is the one who truly colluded with the demons, then what role did the Xu family play in this matter?
And then there's Ling Mo.
Could he... be wrongly accused?
No wonder Xu Xingzhi was so concerned about capturing Ling Mo...
Xu Xingzhi observed Xi Ling'er's reaction and chuckled, saying, "You're quite clever."
Although the tragic fate of the Ling family was not his doing, but rather the work of his father.
But there's not much difference.
Xi Ling'er slashed her sword fiercely at the magic circle in front of her, cursing, "You are simply... despicable, shameless, and insane!"
She was actually engaged to such a person.
That's disgusting!
Seeing Xi Ling'er's anger, Xu Xingzhi's emotions actually calmed down.
He slowly walked closer to Xi Ling'er, stood outside the formation, and said, "Go ahead and curse. Even if you want to curse again, you probably won't have the chance again."
"Xi Ling'er, do you know what I hate most is when people praise you so much but completely ignore me, as if being my fiancée is some kind of humiliation for you."
"Aren't you born with a charming physique and a top-grade mutated spiritual root, a spatial spiritual root? Are you a rare genius in the cultivation world?"
"Today I will destroy your spiritual root, break your pride, and throw you into the lowest and most despicable brothel. When you become filthy and worthless, I'll see who still dares to say that I, Xu Xingzhi, am unworthy of you, Xi Ling'er!"
Xu Xingzhi became more and more agitated as he spoke, his eyes filled with an almost perverse madness.
Xi Ling'er felt a chill run down her spine at what he said.
Are you a pervert?
She was getting a little frustrated as she couldn't break through the formation.
Concentrating all her spiritual power into her longsword, Xi Ling'er leaped into the air and slashed at the formation, saying, "Once I break this damn formation, I'll stab you to death with my sword!"
The immense spiritual energy collided with the formation.
The formation trembled, and the entire ground seemed to shake as well.
Upon seeing this, Xu Xingzhi felt a pang of anxiety and took several steps back.
Could it be that this formation can't trap Xi Ling'er?
Just as Xu Xingzhi was sweating profusely with tension, Xi Ling'er's spiritual energy, which had struck the array, was suddenly violently shaken back.
She was jolted backward, and after barely regaining her balance, she clutched her chest and forcibly suppressed the faint metallic taste rising in her throat.
This formation is indeed not simple.
With her current abilities, she probably really wouldn't be able to escape.
Xu Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He scoffed, "Don't waste your spiritual energy. This formation was specially set up for you by three Nascent Soul cultivators. No matter how talented you are, you are at most a Golden Core cultivator who has not yet entered the Nascent Soul stage. The confinement formation set up by three Nascent Soul cultivators will never allow you to escape, no matter how much spiritual energy you exhaust."
Xi Ling'er raised her hand, her sword pointing angrily at Xu Xingzhi.
"Xu Xingzhi, if you're really a man, fight me fair and square, don't resort to these underhanded tricks!"
Xu Xingzhi waved his hand and said, "Don't try to provoke me, I don't fall for that."
