Chapter 2509
2509 It’s you indeed.
Ling Chuxi’s mind was spinning as she organized her life-saving resources. If the enemy she was facing was someone else, she could still take a risk and use the Sumeru Bodhi. However, this old man had been instructed by Xia Yin Tianqi to come for the Sumeru Bodhi. If she used the Sumeru space, wouldn’t she be sending herself into the Tiger’s mouth?
In addition, her biggest reliance was the mysterious domain that she had just comprehended. Along the way, her domain had finally been perfected a little, but she was not confident that she could trap the other party. Even if she could temporarily trap him, she was not confident that she could kill him. In the end, it would be difficult for her to escape.
“Cut the crap. Hand over the Sumeru Bodhi and I’ll let you die in one piece.” The gray-robed old man did not give Ling Chuxi much time to think as he said coldly.
“Sumeru Bodhi? Old man, what are you talking about? are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Said Ling Chuxi as she pretended to be stunned.
“Don’t think that I can’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a mask and changing your appearance. I wasn’t paying attention earlier, and you managed to get away with it. Do you think you’ll still be so lucky this time?” The gray-robed old man said as he looked at Ling Chuxi with contempt.
Ling Chuxi originally still had a bit of hope in her heart, but she did not expect that this old man’s fiery eyes would actually see through her disguise technique. So she simply took off her mask and revealed her true appearance.
“It is indeed you, Ling Chuxi!” The old man said. It looked like he had already seen Ling Chuxi’s portrait from Xia Yin Tianqi. If Ling Chuxi had not been alert and put on a mask, he would have long discovered her.
“What benefits did Xia Yin Tianqi give you to make you so willing to risk your life for him?” Ling Chuxi asked. She secretly made a hand seal. Although the domain had been perfected, it was more complicated to use. With her current strength, she was still unable to do it as she pleased.
“You can never imagine the benefits my Lord has given me. If you hand over the Sumeru Bodhi now, I can let you die a quick death. But if you fall into my Lord’s hands, I’ll make sure you’ll suffer a fate worse than death!” The grey-robed old man said. With a wave of his robe, a monstrous aura covered the sky and covered the earth.
Ling Chuxi’s guess was indeed correct. This gray-robed old man’s strength was not only not below that of the old woman who had raised the illusionary spirit insects, but was even a little higher.
“If I hand over the Sumeru Bodhi, can you let me live?” Ling Chuxi revealed a look of shock and gritted her teeth, as if she had made this decision with great difficulty.
The old man was silent for a moment and did not immediately answer. Obviously, Xia Yin Tianqi had told him to kill Ling Chuxi.
“Either way, I’ll die. If you insist on killing me, then don’t even think about getting the Sumeru Bodhi. At worst, I’ll just destroy the Sumeru Bodhi before I die. Let’s see how you’re going to explain yourself to Xia Yin Tianqi!” Ling Chuxi fiercely pulled out Luo Chen sword and said to the old man.
If her guess was correct, Xia Yin Tianqi would never tell anyone about the true use of a heaven-defying treasure like the Sumeru Bodhi. The old man in front of her most likely only knew its name, but he didn’t know what it was.
“Alright then. As long as you hand over the Sumeru Bodhi, I’ll spare your life.” The old man hesitated and muttered to himself.
Ling Chuxi’s guess was indeed correct. He really did not know what the Sumeru Bodhi was. Not to mention Ling Chuxi, even the legendary revered level experts might not be able to destroy such a heaven-defying treasure. Yet, he was still hesitating.
