Chapter 93: Joint Siege

Above the blue stone tombstone!

Lu Li looked at the appearing Ling Wushuang, and his expression gradually turned cold.

"I really didn't expect that I wouldn't go to find you, but you would come to find me yourself."

"I didn't want to, but if I didn't strike first, I fear it wouldn't be long before I was found by you." Ling Wushuang spread his hands, revealing a helpless look.

"So, you already know?" Lu Li said indifferently.

"Of course!"

Ling Wushuang's lips curled slightly.

"What Wu Xinglan wanted was not for you and me to kill each other, but revenge on you!"

Lu Li's expression sank.

Ling Wushuang's voice continued to come.

"You probably don't know yet, do you? In fact, before he sent someone to tell you that I leaked the news, this news had already reached my ears. You always thought you were hidden in the dark, but in fact, I have long known that you knew I leaked the news."

"So that's how it is!"

Lu Li sneered.

"That Wu Xinglan's cultivation is not much, but his methods are not weak!"

In that Holy Tower!

He originally thought that Wu Xinglan sent Wu Family people to tell him the news so that he would be hostile to Ling Wushuang, in order to take revenge with Ling Wushuang's hand.

Now it seems that Wu Xinglan's methods are much higher!

If he only notified him!

Then the initiative of this matter would be in his own hands.

Whether he took revenge, when he took revenge, how he took revenge, and everything else was not under Wu Xinglan's control.

Even, if he always hid behind the scenes and waited for the critical moment to strike, Ling Wushuang would have no chance to resist at all!

This would be contrary to Wu Xinglan's purpose!

What he wanted to do was take revenge!

Not let Ling Wushuang die in his hands for nothing!

But telling Ling Wushuang that he already knew it was Ling Wushuang who leaked the secret!

The result was completely different!

In this way, no matter what kind of thoughts Ling Wushuang had!

He had to strike!

Otherwise, what he had to face was an enemy like him hidden in the dark!

Turning passive into active!

Giving Ling Wushuang enough time to prepare, so that he could maximize the chance of Ling Wushuang killing him to take revenge for him!

Such an operation could be called perfect!

But...

"Ling Wushuang, the whole thing was manipulated by Wu Xinglan. You originally wanted to hide behind the scenes, but were forced to the stage, and now you even have to risk your life to be my enemy. As a prodigy from a city, can you really endure this?"

"It is very hard to endure!"

Ling Wushuang sighed lightly.

"But Wu Xinglan comes from the Sheng Cheng Wu Family; if I can't endure it, what can I do? I originally

"So, you were the one to strike at me first?"

Lu Li's anger surged.

This Ling Wushuang appeared to be exceptionally talented and possessed highly refined methods!

Yet his spirit was inferior even to that of an ordinary person!

He had been forced into this situation clearly by the hand of Wu Xinglan, yet simply because Wu Xinglan hailed from the Sheng Cheng Wu Family, he had no thoughts of resistance, willingly becoming a hired thug to strike at him.

If he were an ordinary person, that would be one thing!

As a practitioner of the Martial Dao, to be so servile and lacking even a shred of the spirit to resist!

Compared to Cang Yuanzi, Lin Xiaoyun, and the others!

He was not just a little bit inferior!

Lu Li forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He flicked his finger.

A wisp of pitch-black thread appeared in the void.

"The Soul-Pulling Thread draws out souls and pulls at intent; it can condense the residual will of the dead. That Zhu Lingsheng's residual will suddenly manifesting must also have been your handiwork, right?"

"Not just him, there are others."

Ling Wushuang reached out and beckoned.

All around, five more experts appeared in succession.

Those five people were precisely the experts from the remaining five of the Eight Cities.

Lu Li's gaze swept over them.

The killing intent in his heart rose uncontrollably.

At this moment, he finally understood why Lin Xiaoyun had come to warn him.

So these people had long since colluded together!

They were all Martial Monarchs!

To actually combine the strength of six people to surround and kill him—they were truly shameless!

"First the Soul-Pulling Thread, then uniting with Martial Monarch experts from five other cities; Ling Wushuang, you have already touched my bottom line."

"And so what?"

The corners of Ling Wushuang's mouth curled up slightly.

With a wave of his hand, those five people immediately flashed to surround Lu Li.

"In order to eliminate a hidden danger, I want to kill you too!"

"Then we really do think alike."

Killing intent surged throughout Lu Li's body.

As the origin within his body stirred, countless sword beams surged out. Those sword beams were peerlessly sharp, appearing out of thin air, carrying a terrifying power of slaughter, submerging everything in the surroundings.

"Hmph!"

The five of them let out a cold snort in unison.

Each unleashed their vast origin from within their bodies; with the five-fold origins superimposed and working together, they easily suppressed those countless sword beams.

"Condense!"

Lu Li gave a light shout.

Those countless suppressed sword beams all transformed into sharp edges. They pierced through from a point to a surface, one after another, merging in the void to condense into five even sharper sword beams.

Slaughter without restraint!

It was as if they were going to tear this stretch of sky completely apart.

"How is this possible?"

The five of them all took a step back.

A single attack!

After being suppressed!

It could actually transform again, manifesting an even stronger secondary attack!

Such a method was simply impossible to achieve with current martial techniques alone; what it represented was not just a powerful origin, but an ultimate control over that origin!

A hundred years of Martial Dao!

Even someone as strong as a Martial King!

Could they really reach such a level of control over their origin?

Just as they were in shock, those five sword beams flashed through the air, like rays of ultimate destructive spiritual light, piercing toward the five of them respectively.

"So strong!"

The five of them all revealed grave expressions.

This strike had already faintly exceeded the range they could handle.

"No need to worry, I will handle this strike!"

Above the void.

Ling Wushuang's voice drifted down.

Between his palms, rays of origin spiritual light flickered out. That spiritual light transformed into five origin light shields, vanishing in an instant to protect the five people within them before the five sword beams could pierce through.

"Shoo..."

The sharp sword beams flashed and vanished.

The origin light shields that had enveloped the five people also shattered with a boom.

But those five figures were completely unharmed!

"Ling Wushuang!"

Lu Li could not help but knit his brows.

Although his cultivation was only at the Martial Spirit Perfection, by relying on that ultimate control of the origin, as long as he utilized every shred of origin within his body to the limit, it was enough to rival a Martial Monarch expert who had completed two evolutions in the second stage.

Those five people had only completed one evolution at the Martial Monarch realm and could not possibly have taken his strike!

Yet this Ling Wushuang!

Could easily block his five sword beams!

Clearly, his strength far exceeded those five; he already had the power to fight him.

"Are you surprised?"
