This middle-aged man is none other than Ji Lang, who ranks eighth among the top ten masters of the Ji family.

He was wearing a tight-fitting battle armor with bulging muscles that seemed to contain explosive power. The most eye-catching thing was his thick wolf-hair-like hair and his eyes that shone with cold light, as if he was always looking for prey.

.

His martial spirit is the legendary Wolf Cauldron, which complements his own temperament and demonstrates his unique charm as a strong man.

Ji Lang's steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heartstrings, causing a subtle tremor.

He stood next to Ji Tianyan, looking straight at the opponent in front of him with blazing eyes. It was a silent provocation and an absolute confidence in his own strength.

"Master, just leave this boy to me!"

Ji Lang's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of unquestionable determination. His claws were slightly open, and the sharp nails flashed dangerously in the sun, as if they were ready at any moment.

Can tear apart all obstacles.

"As long as I'm here, you can't even think of hurting him at all!"

Jiang Xiqing walked out of the secret area and stood in front of Ling Xiao. She was wearing an elegant dress, which was incompatible with the fighting atmosphere around her, but her eyes were equally full of determination and determination.

She knew that she could not hide behind Ling Xiao and watch him face all this alone. As his friend, she must stand up and fight side by side with him to face the coming storm together.

"We won't let you succeed." Although Jiang Xiqing's voice was soft, it revealed a power that cannot be underestimated. Her eyes flowed between Ji Lang and Ji Tianyan, as if assessing the strength of both parties, and at the same time

Looking for the best response.

At this moment, she was no longer the gentle and pleasant woman, but a brave and fearless warrior who was willing to do anything to protect the beliefs and important people in her heart.

"Haha, Jiang Xiqing, although you are hailed as the bright new star of the Jiang family, that is just the world's excessive praise of your potential. The road of cultivation is long and arduous. You have not set foot in it deeply. You are only at the second level of Tongtian Realm. In the real world

In front of a strong man, you are just an ant shaking a tree, so how can you compete with a being like me?"

Ji Lang's words were full of disdain and contempt, and his eyes seemed to penetrate everything, looking straight into Jiang Xiqing's heart, trying to defeat her unyielding will as well.

After saying that, Ji Lang didn't give Jiang Xiqing any chance to breathe. He waved his sleeves casually, and saw several sharp blade-like energy suddenly shooting out from his sleeves, cutting through the air with a harsh sound.

The whistling sound drove Jiang Xiqing away.

These qi energies contain Ji Lang's profound cultivation and exquisite control of martial arts. Each one is enough to tear apart gold and stone, let alone flesh and blood.

Faced with this sudden fatal threat, Jiang Xiqing did not show any panic or fear. Her eyes were still clear and firm, as if she had expected all this to happen.

I saw her right hand raised slightly, and there was a crystal clear bead in her palm. The bead exuded a faint fluorescence, and seemed to contain some ancient and mysterious power inside, an extremely pure aura.

Slowly flowing out from it, this aura obviously did not belong to Jiang Xiqing herself.

"Lingsuo Lingzhu!" When Ji Lang saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He naturally knew the origin and power of this object. Lingsuo Lingzhu, as the name suggests, can lock and seal the spiritual energy or strong people in the world.

The power left behind can be called upon by the user at critical moments.

However, this power does not come without a price. It requires the user to bear the huge risk of regression in cultivation and physical damage. Moreover, if the sealed power is not strong enough, it will not only fail to enhance the strength, but may be counterproductive.

"You are actually willing to take such a big risk and use the Soul Locking Pearl to obtain external power? Jiang Xiqing, you are asking for your own death!" Ji Lang's tone was filled with anger and disdain. He couldn't understand why a person like this

A talented warrior with a promising future would make such an unwise choice.

However, Jiang Xiqing just smiled faintly, and there was both determination and helplessness in that smile.

"Ji Lang, I know that the gap in strength between you and me is difficult to make up. But today, I, Jiang Xiqing, will never sit back and watch Ling Xiao suffer. Even if I have to pay a heavy price, I will do my best to protect what I cherish.

everything."

Although her voice was soft, her words were sonorous and powerful, revealing unquestionable determination and courage.

"Haha, I'm afraid you are too naive. If the aura sealed in the spirit-locking bead was not retained by an earth-shattering strong man, how could it withstand the full blow of me, Ji Lang? Your move is just in vain."

A sneer appeared on Ji Lang's lips, his tone full of disdain and ridicule, as if he had foreseen Jiang Xiqing's failure.

However, facing Ji Lang's contempt, Jiang Xiqing's expression was extremely firm. She clenched her teeth and her eyes shone with determination, as if she had made some unshakable determination.

"This is my father's anger! He has cultivated profoundly throughout his life. Even a small part of his strength is enough for me to be qualified to fight you for a short time!"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Xiqing put the Soul Locking Pearl into her mouth without hesitation. In an instant, a majestic and ancient breath burst out from her body, as if there were thousands of troops galloping in her blood. Her breath

At this moment, it surged crazily, like waves rolled up by strong winds, one wave higher than the other, soaring straight into the sky.

In just a moment, Jiang Xiqing's aura had reached the terrifying level of the peak of the Tongtian Realm. That kind of power was enough to change the color of heaven and earth and make everything tremble.

However, this surge in power did not come without a price. Jiang Xiqing's body began to show signs of being unbearable, and there was a faint light flickering under her skin, which was a sign before her physical limit was exceeded.

"Auntie, listen to me, really don't continue. The way you are now, even if you are facing the backlash of a regression in cultivation and a serious injury, is heartbreaking enough. But if you insist on going further, the consequences will be disastrous.

, I will never let you take this risk."

There was unquestionable determination in Ling Xiao's voice. He clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were full of worry and reluctance for Jiang Xiqing's safety. He knew that Jiang Xiqing's actions were all for him, but he didn't want to see it even more.

She fell into a life and death crisis for herself.

"Although I, Ling Xiao, am not invincible, I am not someone who can be manipulated by others. Today, I will not let anyone hurt you, let alone these people. They will only die!"
