Chapter 297 Humanity and Ambition
"I am here. Those who sow discord, those who aid and abet evil, those who bring disaster to the country and its people... shall all die!"
Upon hearing Liu Lingzhen's words, King Ling's eyes widened in surprise.
A bad feeling instantly welled up in his heart.
And things unfolded exactly as he had feared.
No sooner had Liu Lingzhen finished speaking than his figure moved immediately, his move being exactly the same as the one used by the Spirit King earlier.
However, the blue-white light that gathered in his palm was stronger.
The light was mixed with streaks of lightning, and anyone with eyes could see that the power of this move was even stronger than that of the Spirit King.
At the very first moment Liu Lingzhen launched her attack.
The Spirit King discovered that his attack was actually aimed at Xiao Lie!
Before the Spirit King could think further, he suddenly unleashed his full power and instantly moved forward.
He stood in front of Xiao Lie, crossing his arms to protect his face, and forcefully took the brunt of Liu Lingzhen's thunderous blow.
The two moved so fast that even Xiaolie himself couldn't keep up.
The people on the periphery were almost the same, staring intently.
"So fast!"
King Ling felt a powerful wave of energy rushing towards him.
Then I heard a "bang".
The force of this impact sent the Spirit King crashing into Xiao Lie and falling backward.
The two had just moved several feet away and regained their footing.
Xiao Lie then noticed that a trace of blood had seeped from the corner of the Spirit King's mouth, who was blocking his way.
Xiao Lie quickly supported the Spirit King with both hands, his voice filled with urgent concern.
"Are you OK!"
Before the King of Spirit could reply.
A second wave of attacks came from just a few feet away from them.
The blue-white light in his hand was even more shocking than before, pointing directly at Xiao Lie's forehead.
King Ling was worried that Xiao Lie would be injured by Liu Lingzhen.
He forced himself to endure the pain of his injuries and quickly took a step forward.
With her left hand, she pulled him backward forcefully, protecting Xiao Lie behind her once again.
"Xiao Lie!"
Hua Lingxing cried out in alarm, wanting to rush to the rescue but was blocked by the force of the energy, and could only watch helplessly as the situation became critical.
Just as the blue-white light in Liu Lingzhen's palm was about to touch the Spirit King's face, it suddenly stopped.
The light in Liu Lingzhen's hand also dimmed a little, turning into a small blue ball of energy that flickered in his palm.
King Ling suffered internal injuries from taking that blow head-on.
His body could only bend slightly at this moment.
But his gaze remained fixed on Liu Lingzhen, his aura weak yet his eyes unusually firm.
"Step aside."
Liu Lingzhen spoke calmly, revealing no emotion, and the blue aura in her palm had not yet dissipated.
"Why did you attack Xiao Lie?" the Spirit King asked in a deep voice, his voice trembling slightly due to his injuries.
Liu Lingzhen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
“A commoner like him dares to come and question a prince of the Spirit Court? He deserves to die!”
"Although the fourth prince is a prince, if we're talking about right and wrong, this whole affair started with me."
The Spirit King's voice carried a hint of pleading.
"If you, my brother, truly insist on going your own way, then kill me first!"
Liu Lingzhen's eyes remained cold and indifferent. She neither answered nor withdrew the energy ball in her palm. The atmosphere on the field froze instantly, and even the wind seemed to hold its breath.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuanji slightly turned his head to look at Liu Lingyu beside him, a half-smile curving his lips.
"It seems that someone has ultimately lost."
Liu Lingyu's expression darkened slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm.
"Defeat? Not necessarily."
In my opinion, it's more of a lose-lose situation.
The offensive that Liu Lingzhen unleashed in those few short breaths had already shaken the hearts of the experts from the five surrounding countries.
Previously, many of them had thought they could contend with the Spirit King.
But just now, Liu Lingzhen's attack contained the power of thunder.
But it made them clearly aware of the former Spirit King who had been missing for eighteen years.
His skill level has probably already broken through to the next level, the Lesser Vehicle realm.
This level of skill is far beyond their ability to contend with.
Si Chao's Xun Chuan noticed the awkward atmosphere on the field.
He tried to break the silence and said to the Qin group, "The matter of the true and false King Ling is no small matter and cannot be explained in just a few words."
In my opinion, this matter really needs to be carefully considered and thought through.
Bai Rujing, who was standing next to him, quickly echoed Xun Chuan's words and acted as a peacemaker.
“Exactly, exactly! Now that the True Spirit King has appeared, why should we brothers fight anymore? We should sit down and discuss it properly.”
Bikoxi of the Gou tribe laughed heartily, his tone carrying a hint of taking advantage of the situation.
"That makes sense! In my opinion, you should cease hostilities for now."
Both sides should pause for a moment, have a warm drink, and then take it slow... haha..."
The others nodded in agreement, but their laughter masked their own thoughts.
Just then, Liu Lingyu took a few steps forward and stopped in front of the Spirit King.
Looking at the Spirit King, he said, "Alright, now that my brother has shown himself, we really don't need to fight anymore."
At this moment, the blue aura in Liu Lingzhen's palm suddenly dissipated.
He slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping over the crowd with an undeniable air of authority.
All eyes immediately focused on Liu Lingyu, unable to guess what he was up to.
Liu Lingyu met the Spirit King's gaze, his tone calm yet subtly sharp.
"It is said that my brother left his hometown for the sake of the development of the Ling Kingdom."
Now that my brother has returned, the throne of the Spirit King should naturally be returned to him, and he should assume it.
The Spirit King frowned, his voice icy as he questioned, "Do you know what kind of turmoil these words will cause?"
"Of course I know."
Liu Lingyu smiled faintly, "Just because you're unwilling doesn't mean others are unwilling."
As he spoke, his eyes darted around the people gathered on the perimeter.
They all represent the power of their respective countries.
"Why must we take this step?" The Spirit King's voice carried a hint of weariness.
"Because I can give them what they want, and you can't."
Liu Lingyu's tone was resolute: "You're sticking to your so-called bottom line, but what people in the world want are real benefits."
"Do you realize that you're inviting trouble into your home, and that this will cause widespread disaster!"
King Ling's hands clenched tightly with anger, his knuckles turning white.
Liu Lingyu suddenly leaned close to the Spirit King's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Do you have a choice?"
"You are unwilling, but they are. What I can give is something you can never give them!"
So this time, you are destined to fail, and I am the only winner.
People only believe what they see.
This is human nature. "
"Actually, I knew from the beginning that you wouldn't kill me here."
After all, you promised Brother Wang that you would never lay a hand on me.
He paused, a hint of resentment barely perceptible in his voice.
"I've lived in your shadow since I was a child, and I'm already tired of it."
Whether I live or die is irrelevant, but it's the people behind you.
And all those people you've worked so hard to protect all these years..."
King Ling shuddered upon hearing this, feeling a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
