Chapter 204 The Spirit King's Splendor
Zhao Hai stormed up to King Ling, Liu Lingzhen, his eyes blazing with fury, and demanded, "Liu Lingzhen, how dare you kill so many of my Qin's valiant generals!"
You even nearly caused my death! For such a heinous crime, what is your punishment?
Lingwang Liu Lingzhen glanced at him sideways, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.
"This is utterly absurd! You Qin people are full of wolfish ambitions, wantonly invading the territory of Ling Kingdom. As the ruler of Ling Kingdom, I will protect the land and the people and kill the invading enemies."
"On the contrary, you brat dare to distort the truth and come here to question me. Have you forgotten that I am the Spirit King of the Spirit Kingdom?"
Zhao Hai's face turned ashen upon hearing this, and he laughed in fury: "Liu Lingzhen, aren't you afraid that my Qin army will press on our borders and crush your Ling Kingdom into dust?"
King Ling smiled dismissively, his eyes filled with arrogance, and shook his head slightly as he spoke.
"Hmph... Even if your father, Zhao Ying, came in person, I wouldn't have given him a second thought. So what are you anyway?"
Zhao Hai was so enraged by King Ling's words that he trembled all over and coughed violently, as if he were about to cough up his heart and lungs.
His bodyguards rushed forward to help him up, their expressions anxious.
King Ling stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, exuding an innate nobility and majesty.
He slightly raised his chin, his eyes cold and arrogant, and slowly swept his gaze over Mo You and the other three.
Those eyes seemed to see through their every thought, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.
He said coldly, "Hmph! So, do you guys still want to continue fighting?"
If you do not wish to continue the fight, then quickly retreat to your original position and do not linger here any longer.
"I don't have time to waste with you all like this. I should head back to my residence!"
After speaking, King Ling flicked his sleeve lightly, his expression revealing impatience and contempt, and quietly awaited their response.
He seemed to have everything under control and didn't take the people in front of him seriously.
Seeing that King Ling was about to leave, Zhao Hai was furious and shouted, "Liu Lingzhen, don't even think about leaving!"
King Ling, Liu Lingzhen, did not stop walking. He merely turned his head slightly and said coldly, "I can't be bothered with you."
After King Ling finished speaking, he moved with lightning speed, turned around instantly, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and with a few leaps, he retreated back to the city of Nanyang.
He stood proudly, his posture as upright as a pine tree, looking down at the four people from Moyou below the city. His eyes flashed with a cold light, like a god looking down on ants.
"Let's leave this farce here for now!"
King Ling's voice was powerful and majestic, echoing over Nanyang City like rolling thunder, making people's eardrums ache.
"If you still refuse to give up and attempt to attack and seize our territory, I will wait here in this city and be ready to fight you to the bitter end!"
"Bring it on, I'd like to see what you're capable of!"
The Spirit King crossed his arms, his cloak billowing in the wind, displaying his unparalleled domineering and resolute nature.
It was as if Nanyang City was his indestructible throne, which no one could shake in the slightest.
His words were powerful and resounding, inspiring awe in everyone present.
Although Zhao Hai and his men were unwilling, they had no choice but to face reality and retreat temporarily to wait for another day.
Zhao Hai saw that King Ling had returned, but the Qin army on the battlefield was less than half gone.
He looked at Mo You, Lan Li, and Cheng Shuang and questioned them, "What's wrong with you three? Why did you let him get away?"
The three ignored him and silently turned back to the back.
When the five returned to the rear, Zhao Hai immediately noticed the unusual expressions on the faces of the other three.
Lan Li, Mo You, and Cheng Shuang all coughed up a mouthful of blood at the same time, a truly horrifying sight.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yan frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "What happened? Was that move so terrifying that you had to endure your injuries until now?"
Lan Li gently shook her head, her gaze deep, seemingly still savoring the previous battle, and did not answer immediately.
Mo You sighed helplessly and slowly said, "That attack was indeed extraordinary. If we hadn't retreated in time, we would probably be in grave danger by now."
Liu Lingzhen's strength has indeed exceeded our expectations.
Cheng Shuang nodded, her expression solemn, and said, "Yes, I didn't expect Liu Lingzhen to have such a powerful move hidden away."
The oppressive force of that instant felt like it was tearing the entire space apart, forcing the three of us to exert all our strength to resist it.
Upon hearing their words, Zi Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.
"I found it strange before that you all stood still when you fought Liu Lingzhen. It turns out that you were already injured in that instant."
It seems that Liu Lingzhen's strength is far greater than I previously estimated.
Zi Yan fell into deep thought as she spoke.
Lan Li, Mo You, and Cheng Shuang also realized this.
King Ling, with that astonishing strike, successfully repelled the Qin invasion and then slowly returned to his residence in Nanyang City.
The four spirit stars and several generals had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing the Spirit King return, they quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Your subordinate greets the Spirit King..."
But before they could finish speaking, the Spirit King suddenly swayed, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red.
Her body swayed precariously, but the four spirit stars reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her.
"The Spirit King!"
The Spirit King's eyes were lifeless, his face was as pale as paper, and he seemed to have lost all his strength, collapsing directly into the arms of the Spirit Star.
Upon seeing this, the generals all looked alarmed and gathered around, wanting to do something for King Ling.
"Quickly, summon a doctor!" a general shouted, his voice filled with anxiety and tension.
King Ling waved his hand slightly, indicating that they did not need to panic.
He said in a weak but firm voice, "It's nothing. I've just overexerted my energy and suffered some internal injuries."
The four spirit stars helped the spirit king sit down, their eyes filled with worry and reverence.
Shi Lingxing said softly, "King Ling, this war with Qin is too dangerous. You must not risk your life like this again. Ling Kingdom still needs you to take charge."
King Ling gave a bitter smile, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"If I don't fight with all my might, how can my Ling Kingdom stand firm in this chaotic world?"
Although this victory was minor, it made me realize that the power of the Qin state was far greater than I had imagined.
We need to work even harder to ensure the safety of the Kingdom of Ling.
At this moment, the doctor rushed over and took King Ling's pulse to diagnose him.
After a moment, the doctor frowned and said, "The Spirit King needs to rest and recuperate. He must not use his Yuan Power again in the near future, otherwise his injuries may worsen."
The Spirit King nodded slightly, then his eyes hardened.
She took a deep breath and said, "Pass down the order: the entire army must strengthen its vigilance and be on guard against a Qin counterattack."
At the same time, scouts were sent to the Qin border to gather intelligence on their movements.
"I need to know their latest situation so that I can take appropriate action."
The generals obeyed and left, while the four spirit stars stayed by the spirit king's side, taking good care of him.
King Ling leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, but in his mind he was thinking about the next strategic move.
Her Spirit Kingdom is still weak, and apart from herself, it seems that no one else can stand alone.
Even so, she still had to struggle to maintain the safety of the Spirit Kingdom.
On the other side of the mansion, Xiaoman frowned, concentrating intently on displaying her superb medical skills.
His nimble fingers moved gently over Xiao Lie's wound, occasionally taking his pulse, his expression revealing an undisguised solemnity.
Afu paced anxiously to the side, glancing at Xiaolie every now and then, muttering to himself, "Xiaolie, you must hold on."
Shi Zi clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Xiao Lie, whose face was as pale as paper on the bed.
His voice was low and worried, as if he were talking to himself, or as if he were speaking to everyone in the room.
"I never expected that Shadow Frost to be so powerful. We didn't even have time to react before Brother Xiao Lie was severely injured by her in one blow."
Looking back now, her strength at that time was probably at least on par with the Spirit King.
Cheng Peng stood to the side, his whole body bandaged, his eyes wide open, veins bulging on his forehead, and fists clenched involuntarily.
His face, flushed with anger, also revealed undisguised concern and anxiety.
He rushed to Xiao Lie's bedside, staring intently at Xiao Lie's bloodless face, his voice trembling slightly with emotion.
"Those guys are too ruthless, they actually beat Xiao Lie up like this."
Xiaoman finally finished his examination. He sighed softly and turned to look at the anxious crowd.
"Xiao Lie's injuries are serious, but fortunately they did not hit any vital organs."
"Do you have any more pills? I've run out."
Upon hearing Xiaoman's question, Shizi replied, "There are five more pills in the room: Rejuvenation Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Heavenly Fragrance Pill, Yang Spirit Pill, and Ice-Breaking Pill."
