"Ling Xiao, it seems that King Lei Ling is no match for Zhan Tianxing. If this continues, I'm afraid that sooner or later King Lei Ling will be beaten to death by Zhan Tianxing!"
There was a gleam of light in Dugu Qiubai's eyes, and he spoke slowly.
“Brother Dugu, come with me! Zhan Tianxing is indeed powerful, but I have already noticed a flaw in the formation that imprisoned King Lei Ling. Although we cannot let King Lei Ling out directly, the formation that imprisoned him has weakened a lot. As long as we add some fuel, King Lei Ling should be able to break free. Then we can sit back and watch the fight!”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and sent a message to Dugu Qiubai.
"Oh? You were able to find the loophole in that formation? This is really good news!"
Dugu Qiubai was shocked, and he and Ling Xiao quietly left the temple.
"Hmm? There's something strange about these two! But with their cultivation level, they definitely can't escape from Shenxiao Palace. I'll settle accounts with them after I kill King Lei Ling!"
There was a hint of coldness in Zhan Tianxing's eyes. He also felt that Ling Xiao and Dugu Qiubai had left stealthily, and he sneered in his heart.
Boom!
The Soul-Destroying Spear in his hand shone brightly, instantly splitting into tens of millions of spear beams. Each strike was extremely terrifying, heading towards the vital points of King Lei Ling's body.
"Damn the formation! Human boy, I must kill you!"
King Lei Ling roared, his eyes filled with extremely cold murderous intent, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. Although he was extremely powerful and unfathomable, he was trapped by the formation and now became a living target in front of Zhan Tianxing.
Although Zhan Tianxing has the cultivation level of a sixth-level semi-saint, his combat power is extremely terrifying. In just a short while, he has already caused King Lei Ling to suffer serious injuries.
Ling Xiao and Dugu Qiubai left the holy hall and came to the thunder pool.
"I have just noticed that the formation that imprisoned King Lei Ling has an eye in the Thunder Pool and the Sword Pavilion. As long as we can destroy one of them, King Lei Ling will be able to escape with his strength!"
Ling Xiao said slowly.
When he was practicing in the Thunder Pool just now, his mind realm had already covered the entire Thunder Pool and even the Shenxiao Palace. Ling Xiao's mental power was extremely powerful. Although he had not yet reached the realm of sainthood, he was able to use his mental power to see through everything in great detail.
He has found the secret door hidden in the thunder pool.
The Thunder Emperor's Key and the Heavenly Sword Stone are indeed the keys to opening the formation that imprisoned King Lei Ling, but the Thunder Pool and the Sword Pavilion also each have a formation eye.
"Okay! I'll protect you, just go ahead and do it!"
Dugu Qiubai nodded.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged in the thunder pool. His mind was majestic and unparalleled. The vast mental power permeated the entire thunder pool. In Ling Xiao's perception, the thunder pool seemed to be shrouded in two layers of dazzling light. The outermost layer was vast and deep, with runes rising up, containing an unfathomable aura of saints. It should be the great formation that covered the entire Shenxiao Palace.
The middle layer seemed like a purple rune mist, faintly forming a mysterious restraining force, piercing through the void and connecting with the Thunder Spirit King in the temple.
There was also a golden rune, with unparalleled sharpness and containing tremendous sword intent, rising from the sword pavilion next to it, and also pierced through the void and entered the temple.
These two runes are the two core elements of the formation that imprison King Lei Ling.
Boom!
The aura around Ling Xiao rose, and the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art burst out. He reached out his hand into the air and suddenly a vortex of chaos appeared in his palm, grabbing towards the purple rune.
The lightning was blazing, and the power of the formation exploded, as if it was going to crush Ling Xiao's arm into powder. Although the power of the formation had been weakened after countless years, it still had the power to kill a semi-saint.
Ling Xiao's arms had been tempered by the calamity energy and were extremely strong. He withstood the terrifying power of the formation and directly grabbed the purple rune and swallowed it.
The purple rune seemed to contain the original power of thunder, and it exploded in Ling Xiao's body in an instant. Thunder spread in his body and enveloped him completely.
When the core of the formation was destroyed, King Lei Ling in the holy hall immediately sensed it.
Snap!
Originally, there were chains of order surrounding King Lei Ling, trapping him completely. Those chains of order emitted seven-color light, with strange lightning and sword light condensed around them, but at this moment, half of the chains of order broke instantly. King Lei Ling felt a sense of relief all over his body. Although the formation had not been completely broken, he already had some strength to fight back.
“Hahaha… kid, you never expected that, did you? Your two junior brothers actually broke a hole in the formation for me. He was planning to let us two tigers fight each other so that he can reap the benefits. But I’m afraid he calculated wrong. Not only will you die, they will die too!”
King Lei Ling was overjoyed and sneered at Zhan Tianxing.
Boom!
A terrifying aura emanated from King Lei Ling's body. Rays of lightning surrounded him. Silver lightning, golden thunder, and even black electric light made him look like a saint who controlled thunder. His words were effective and his power was unmatched.
Facing Zhan Tianxing's Soul-Destroying Spear, he immediately punched out, and streaks of lightning burst out, directly blocking the full-strength attack of the Soul-Destroying Spear.
"What? That Hu Qing... Damn it!"
Zhan Tianxing's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Although he was puzzled as to how Ling Xiao, who was only at the Divine King level, could possibly break through the eye of the formation, he became even more angry in his heart. How could Zhan Tianxing be fooled by someone? This was simply unforgivable!
In an instant, Ling Xiao was sentenced to death in his heart!
"King Lei Ling, even if you escape, what does it matter? You still deserve to die!"
Zhan Tianxing's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He suppressed the anger in his heart and immediately attacked with all his strength. The Soul-Destroying Spear shone brightly, trying to completely suppress King Lei Ling.
boom!
Zhan Tianxing was unmatched, emitting an immortal aura from his body. He was shining brightly, holding the Soul-Destroying Spear and rushing towards King Lei Ling. Although King Lei Ling had already gained a certain amount of resistance because he had broken through a hole in the formation.
But the Soul-Destroying Spear was too much of a threat to King Lei Ling, and he still fell into a disadvantage.
"The despicable human race only managed to break through one of the array's eyes! When I escape, I will kill him!"
King Lei Ling was extremely angry. Instead of being grateful to Ling Xiao for breaking open the eye of the formation, he became even more angry. He understood Ling Xiao's plan, which was to hope that he could expend his strength to break the shackles, so that both of them would suffer losses.
Although King Lei Ling and Zhan Tianxing hated Ling Xiao to the extreme at this moment, they had no time to settle the score with Ling Xiao. Both of them were really angry and the fight became more and more intense.
