Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 468: A Smile of Contempt

Elder Tianji took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your biological parents are..."

Having said that, Old Man Tianji suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Yu with complicated eyes.

Zhang Yu's heart was full of doubts and expectations, and he couldn't wait to know the answer.

"Who are my parents?"

The lightsaber in Zhang Ling's hand stabbed towards Long Aotian, but stopped an inch away from his chest. It was not that Zhang Ling showed mercy, but some invisible force blocked the lightsaber's advance. Long Aotian showed a scornful smile on his face: "You dare to show off your skills in front of an expert?"

A strong pressure emanated from Long Aotian, which made Zhang Ling almost unable to breathe. The lightsaber in his hand trembled violently, as if it would break at any time.

"Is this... the true strength of the Long family?" Zhang Ling thought to himself.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao rushed to Zhang Ling regardless of everything and opened her arms to protect him: "Master, be careful!"

Long Aotian sneered and slapped Xiao Tao with his palm.

"Xiao Tao!" Zhang Ling shouted, trying to stop Long Aotian, but found that he could not move.

At this critical moment, a black shadow flashed by and stood in front of Xiaotao.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black shadow was knocked away by Long Aotian's palm and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhang Ling looked closely and found that it was the mysterious man in black whom he had met in the dilapidated temple before.

"It's you?" Zhang Ling asked in surprise.

The man in black struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Boy, I'll help you avenge your hatred!"

After saying that, the man in black rushed towards Long Aotian again, and the two started a fierce battle.

Although the black-clothed man's martial arts skills were not as good as Long Aotian's, they were extremely strange, making Long Aotian unable to do anything to him for a while.

Zhang Ling took the opportunity to regain some strength. He helped Xiao Tao up and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "Sir, I'm fine. How are you?"

Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's leave here first."

After saying that, Zhang Ling took Xiao Tao and quietly left Long Mansion while the man in black and Long Aotian were fighting.

The two fled all the way to a forest outside the city.

"Master, what should we do now?" Xiao Tao asked.

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to hide first, and then think of a solution."

The two found a hidden cave and settled down temporarily.

"Sir, who is that man in black? Why does he want to help us?" Xiao Tao asked.

Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but he seems to have a grudge against the Long family."

Xiao Tao nodded and said, "Young Master, you must be careful. The people of the Long family are very powerful."

Zhang Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

The two rested in the cave for one night. Early the next morning, Zhang Ling got up and prepared to leave.

"Sir, where are you going?" Xiao Tao asked.

Zhang Ling said: "I'm going to investigate the Long family's situation and then formulate a revenge plan."

Xiao Tao said worriedly: "Sir, it's too dangerous, you'd better not go."

Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "I have to go. This is my responsibility."

After saying that, Zhang Ling left the cave and walked towards the capital.

Along the way, Zhang Ling kept inquiring about the Long family, and finally he learned some of the Long family's secrets.

It turns out that the Long family is not an ordinary wealthy family. They secretly control a huge underground organization and engage in various illegal activities.

And Long Aotian is the leader of this underground organization.

After Zhang Ling learned the news, he became more determined to take revenge.

He decided to first infiltrate the Long family's underground organization, find out the evidence of their crimes, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

One night, Zhang Ling disguised himself and sneaked into a casino controlled by the Long family.

He observed the layout of the casino and found that it was heavily guarded and it was not easy to sneak in.

Just as Zhang Ling was thinking hard, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It turned out to be the mysterious man in black that I met in the dilapidated temple before.

The man in black seemed to recognize Zhang Ling and walked towards him.

"Boy, we meet again." said the man in black.

Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."

The man in black smiled and said, "It seems that we are really destined to meet."

Zhang Ling asked: "Why are you here?"

The man in black said, "I'm here to do something."

Zhang Ling asked, "What's the matter?"

The man in black smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know soon."

After saying that, the man in black turned and left.

Zhang Ling looked at the back of the man in black, his heart full of doubts.

Who is this man in black? What on earth is he doing here?

Zhang Ling decided to follow the man in black to see what he was going to do.

He quietly followed the man in black to the backyard of the casino.

There was an underground entrance in the backyard and the man in black walked straight in.

Zhang Ling hesitated for a moment and followed him in.

The underground entrance leads to an underground secret room, which is brightly lit and filled with various torture instruments.

The man in black walked to an iron cage, opened it, and released a tied person.

That person was Xiaotao!

"Xiao Tao!" Zhang Ling exclaimed and rushed forward.

"Young Master!" Xiao Tao also shouted excitedly when she saw Zhang Ling.

The man in black stopped Zhang Ling and said, "Boy, don't be impulsive."

Zhang Ling glared at the man in black and asked, "Why did you arrest her?"

The man in black smiled and said, "I arrested her for a purpose."

"What's the purpose?" Zhang Ling asked.

The man in black said, "I want to use her to lure out Long Aotian."

Zhang Ling was shocked when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the man in black would use Xiaotao as bait.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous it is to do this?" Zhang Ling roared.

The man in black sneered, "Danger? I'm never afraid of danger."

"You..." Zhang Ling was so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this moment, the door of the underground secret room suddenly opened, and Long Aotian walked in with a group of people...

The long sword formed by the white light in Zhang Ling's hand, with a biting cold air, pointed directly at Long Aotian. The contempt on Long Aotian's face had long disappeared, replaced by shock and a hint of fear. He had never seen such a strange energy before, and instinctively felt the danger.

“What the hell is this?!” Long Aotian exclaimed. Queen Cang retreated and ordered his men, “Go! Kill him!”

The masters of the Long family rushed forward, swords flashing and sabers interlaced, but they could not get close to Zhang Ling. Wherever the white long sword was swung, it brought up gusts of wind, blowing away the guards who approached, and screams came one after another.

Xiao Tao hid in the corner, watching this incredible scene, feeling both worried and excited. She had never seen Zhang Ling so powerful before, which gave her more hope for Zhang Ling's revenge, but also made her more worried about his safety.

Zhang Ling was like a killer possessed, the long sword in his hand was as agile as a swimming dragon, and every strike was powerful enough to crush everything in its path. Although the masters of the Long family were well-trained, they seemed vulnerable in the face of this extraordinary power.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Long Aotian cursed "Damn it" in his heart and turned around to escape.

"Want to run?" Zhang Ling sneered, and in a flash, he appeared behind Long Aotian, with the tip of his sword against his back. "Where do you think you can escape to?"

Long Aotian trembled all over, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "You...you can't kill me! I'm the head of the Long family! If you kill me, the Long family will not let you go!"

"Long family?" A cold light flashed in Zhang Ling's eyes, "I am here to destroy the Long family today!"

After saying that, Zhang Ling stabbed the sword in his hand into Long Aotian's heart without hesitation.

Long Aotian opened his eyes wide, his eyes filled with unwillingness and fear, he let out a desperate roar, then slowly fell to the ground and died.

When the masters of the Long family saw their patriarch being killed, they immediately became chaotic and fled in all directions. Zhang Ling did not chase after them, as he had already achieved his goal, killing Long Aotian and avenging his father.

He turned and walked to Xiaotao, looked at her worried eyes, smiled gently, and said, "It's okay, Xiaotao."

Xiaotao threw herself into Zhang Ling's arms, hugged him tightly, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Sir, you finally got your revenge..."

Zhang Ling gently stroked Xiao Tao's hair, feeling mixed emotions. The joy of revenge was not as strong as he had imagined, but instead a feeling of emptiness surged in his heart.

Perhaps it was because the road to revenge was too long and too difficult, exhausting him both physically and mentally.

Or maybe it was because he realized that even if he took revenge, his father would not be able to come back to life.

"Let's go." Zhang Ling said softly.

He took Xiaotao and left Long Mansion, disappearing into the night.

In the following days, Zhang Ling and Xiao Tao lived a peaceful life incognito. Zhang Ling taught Xiao Tao the martial arts from another world, and the two practiced together and traveled together.

However, the peaceful life did not last long.

One day, Zhang Ling and Xiao Tao were practicing martial arts in the mountains, when they suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching quickly.

"Who is it?!" Zhang Ling looked around vigilantly.

A mysterious man in black clothes and a hat appeared in front of them.

"Are you Zhang Ling?" the man in black asked in a hoarse voice.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling asked back.

"I'm here to take your life." The man in black said coldly.

"Take my life?" Zhang Ling sneered, "Just you?"

"You are too arrogant, boy." The man in black said, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are!" Zhang Ling said, "If you want to kill me, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

After saying that, Zhang Ling drew out his sword and pointed it at the man in black.

The man in black took off his hat, revealing an old and gloomy face.

"I am the leader of the Blood Demon Cult, and today is the day you die!"

Blood Demon Cult? Zhang Ling was shocked. He had heard of this evil cult before. It was said that they were ruthless and committed all kinds of evil. They were wanted by everyone in the martial arts world.

"So you are the remnant of the Blood Demon Cult." Zhang Ling sneered, "Since you have come to my door, don't blame me for being rude!"

A war is about to break out.

Zhang Ling's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every move was filled with deadly murderous intent. The Blood Demon Cult leader's martial arts were also very strong, and the two fought back and forth, with a close fight.

Xiao Tao watched the battle from the sidelines, feeling extremely anxious. She knew that although Zhang Ling's martial arts were powerful, the leader of the Blood Demon Cult was no ordinary person either, and it was still unknown who would win the battle.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The leader of the Blood Evil Cult suddenly took out a black ball from his arms and threw it towards Zhang Ling.

"What is this?" Zhang Ling was shocked and dodged quickly.
