“Haha, comparing me to a Human King, I really feel honoured. But whether humans are ants or not is not for you to decide! You have said many times that you want to kill me, yet it is always just empty talk.”
Ling Xiao smiled. Although the smile looked a bit tragic, it still infuriated Manager Jia greatly.
“Violent Rain Pear Blossom Sword!”
Manager Jia was completely enraged.
The raindrop behind him suddenly enlarged. Countless raindrops transformed into terrifying sword qi that shot toward Ling Xiao.
Clearly, the power of these sword qi far surpassed that of Ling Xiao’s Sun and Moon Sword Domain sword qi.
Under the cultivation of the Sixth Cavern Heaven realm, the might of any technique would naturally be greatly enhanced.
These terrifying sword qi pierced through the void, emitting piercing shrieks, then all targeted Ling Xiao’s vital points.
“Heavenly Demon Destroy Body! Rising Sun in the East!”
Facing Manager Jia’s terrifying killing move, Ling Xiao did not dare slack off at all. Besides wrapping his entire body in Light and Shadow Battle Armour, he swung both giant swords at the same time.
One half darkness, one half brightness.
Countless sword qi were torn apart, crushed, and destroyed by these two forces.
“Pfft!”
The continuous impact force made Ling Xiao vomit blood again. His face turned deathly pale. The Sun and Moon Divine Wings behind him also began to tremble, as if they could no longer support his body floating in mid-air.
Yet after spitting out that mouthful of blood, Ling Xiao’s eyes still shone with unwavering determination.
His body stood proudly in the void, twin swords above his head. He looked mockingly at Manager Jia and said, “Killing me is not that easy. Back when I was still a beggar, many people said I was like a cockroach, with a hundred lives!”
“This guy really does not fear death!”
“He is so strong, so brave!”
“A spine of unyielding pride, refusing to bend even in breaking.”
People looked at Ling Xiao hovering in the void. He was clearly covered in wounds, yet he showed no intention of retreating at all. He was just like an indestructible copper pea that could not be steamed soft, boiled soft, smashed soft, or even dyed blue.
Manager Jia’s attacks were so fierce, so furious, yet he could still withstand them.
Although every defence added more injuries to his body, he never once thought of backing down.
“I told you, I hate that look in your eyes the most! You are clearly the lowest human! From the lowest background! Yet you dare look at me like that. You should just obediently be crushed to death like a stink bug!”
Manager Jia was practically going mad.
He had thought this time he could steadily kill Ling Xiao. Who could have imagined that after all this effort, it was still just a waste of time.
This Ling Xiao was truly like the stickiest candy.
Killing him was far too difficult.
Although Manager Jia knew very well that Ling Xiao could not possibly turn the tables today, even so, he, a martial artist of Sixth Cavern Heaven realm in his forties, a noble member of the Hell Clan, still repeatedly failed to kill a seventeen-year-old Second Cavern Heaven realm martial artist.
This feeling was too frustrating, too humiliating.
If word got out, how could he ever show his face again?
He had to kill Ling Xiao as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he would truly become a laughingstock forever.
“Let us see whether your bones are harder or my attacks are stronger!”
The raindrop behind Manager Jia changed once again. Under his control, it gradually condensed into a huge iron shovel.
This iron shovel was exactly the same as the one he had used before.
Then green light flickered on the iron shovel. Deathly aura kept spreading from it. Some people even vaguely saw strange ghosts appearing on the surface of the iron shovel.
“Cousin, Ling Xiao cannot hold on any longer. He has reached his limit. Are you really going to let the world call you cold and heartless? Do not forget, many people know about your alliance with Ling Xiao. They are not fools. If Ling Xiao dies, you lose one shield. They will come after you to settle the score.”
Feng Yanran shouted anxiously.
She had thought it over. Instead of begging Feng Yinshan, it was better to hit the key point and lay out the consequences clearly.
Her words actually made Feng Yinshan pause for a moment.
“Your Highness, what Princess Yanran said is correct. Right now, with Ling Xiao drawing the fire, we can remain so peaceful. If Ling Xiao dies, those people will definitely swarm us all at once.”
Ming Jin also spoke up, “If Your Highness finds it inconvenient to act, then allow this subordinate to go instead?”
Ming Jin knew very well that Feng Yinshan’s strength was extremely formidable. Among the Ten Phoenix Children, he ranked second only because Feng Yinshan was good at concealing himself.
His true strength was probably not inferior to the number one, Feng Ming Qishan.
Of course, there was also that one who had suddenly appeared and now seemed to suppress both of them on the surface. But as for the actual situation, no one knew.
After all, these three had never truly clashed.
“This king already said, today’s matter was provoked by him, so he should take responsibility to the end. Not to mention Ling Xiao is merely this king’s ally. Even if he were this king’s subordinate, it would be the same. You should understand very well that this king dislikes people who go around causing trouble everywhere.”
Feng Yinshan said coldly.
Ming Jin sighed and said no more. He knew very well that Feng Yinshan was someone who liked to endure. Unless absolutely forced or there was major benefit involved, he would never act.
Feng Yanran felt complete despair. When her cousin said those words, it meant he absolutely would not lift a finger to save Ling Xiao.
Her heart was trembling.
“Cousin, do not forget, Ling Xiao’s parents once helped our Divine Phoenix Clan. Otherwise, this nation would have been destroyed, and neither you nor I would have survived.”
Feng Yanran said.
“You do not need to remind me of that. One thing is one thing. After Ling Xiao dies, I will give him a grand burial. But having said that, I really do not believe that the son of Ji Fuling and Yu Xuanyue would be killed so easily.”
Feng Yinshan said calmly.
“Cousin, have you forgotten Ji Lingyue? She was the girl you admired and liked the most when you were young. What about her talent? Was she not the daughter of Ji Fuling and Yu Xuanyue? And what was her final outcome?”
Feng Yanran roared.
Feng Yinshan fell silent for a long time without speaking. Ji Lingyue was an eternal pain in his heart. That was also why, up to now, he had never truly sought out a woman. At most, he just played around.
“You really do not trust him that much?”
Feng Yinshan suddenly asked in return, “Ling Xiao facing Manager Jia should have been killed long ago by common sense. Yet up to now, have you seen the slightest trace of fear on Ling Xiao’s face?”
“He is a madman. Are you an idiot too?”
Feng Yanran was about to lose it, “Ling Xiao’s current condition, I refuse to believe you cannot see it. If you will not save him, then do not make it sound so noble. If you will not save him, I will find someone else to act!”
With that, she turned to leave.
“Slap!”
A hand lightly tapped the back of her neck. Feng Yanran’s eyes immediately closed, and she fainted.
“She really does not let people have peace.”
Feng Yinshan sighed and placed Feng Yanran on a nearby chair.
“Your Highness, are we really not saving Ling Xiao?”
Ming Jin could not help asking.
“To tell you the truth, I am waiting.”
Feng Yinshan said helplessly.
