“Good, I agree to that. It is no problem at all.”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua said calmly.
They completely ignored Ling Xiao, treating him as if he were air. As long as they made a decision, Ling Xiao had no choice but to obey.
“Heh heh, if you plan to endure this overwhelming humiliation and then go seek revenge on your junior sister, I would still have a bit of admiration for you!
But now, in my eyes, you are a complete and utter failure, a total piece of trash!
Forced to sign a Martial Slave Contract, yet you show not even a trace of resentment.
Do you only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong?
Do you think I am weaker than your junior sister, so by agreeing to become her slave today, you will not die?”
The Light God Sword remained stuck in the ground. A strong look of sarcasm and disdain appeared on Ling Xiao’s face.
This fellow was truly beyond saving.
The teachers and students of Qingxu Academy also felt immense shame.
Why did they feel shame?
Because they realised they had actually been frightened by such a worthless trash just moments ago. That was truly humiliating.
“Senior Brother, rest assured. Since you have agreed to sign the Martial Slave Contract with me, I can guarantee you walk out of Qingxu Academy alive. Ling Xiao does not yet have the ability to kill you! Let us sign the contract now.”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua took out a badge that looked like a bi’an flower, dripped a drop of her own blood onto it, and handed it to Sword Demon.
Sword Demon hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, bit his finger, and let his blood drip onto it as well.
“The Martial Slave Contract is signed. Very good.”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua looked at the mark left on the badge and smiled with satisfaction. “Senior Brother, let us go. There is still some time before the Dragon Phoenix Selection. I will guide you properly. Believe me, with my guidance, it will not take long before you can easily defeat that Ling Xiao. There is no need to fear him at all.”
“Thank you, Junior Sister.”
Sword Demon nodded, then glanced at Ling Xiao and said, “You may be mocking me, thinking that signing a Martial Slave Contract with my junior sister is foolish. But you do not know that you do not even have the qualification for that. On the Dragon Phoenix Selection, I will defeat you and make you taste the pain of failure!”
“Is that so? Why does it sound like the barking of a drowned dog to me?”
Ling Xiao gave a light laugh and said, “Actually, what you choose has nothing to do with me. Because I said I would kill you, so today I must kill you. The Dragon Phoenix Selection? Sorry, you will not have that chance.
You and your junior sister decided everything on your own without taking me seriously. I can understand that. After all, the people of your Bi’an Immortal Island are all a bunch of arrogant, high-and-mighty trash with eyes above their heads.”
“Heh heh, no matter what you say, I will not get angry. When your senior brother defeats you on the Dragon Phoenix Selection, you will know who is right. Actually, Ling Xiao, you are truly pitiful. Though you defeated my senior brother and proved your strength, today you will still die inevitably.”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua laughed lightly.
“Is that so? Perhaps I will die, but before I do, Sword Demon will certainly go first.”
Ling Xiao said calmly. He pulled the Light God Sword from the ground, then took a light step forward. His figure shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow.
“I said that with me here, you cannot kill him!”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua smiled coldly. In front of her suddenly bloomed a strange black flower, spreading a bizarre fragrance.
“Put down the butcher’s knife and ascend to paradise at once!”
She exhaled like orchids and uttered those words.
Ling Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly.
He could sense that Zong Yu Bi’an Hua’s martial soul was something capable of inducing intense illusions.
At this moment, it all depended on whether his soul power was strong enough.
Holy King Eye: See through all illusions!
As the Taiji Eye rotated, a figure condensed from holy light appeared above Ling Xiao’s head.
“What!”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua was very surprised. Someone had actually broken her illusion on the first encounter with her martial soul.
“But it is useless. Even if you broke the illusion, you are still no match for me.”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua struck out with a palm. Ling Xiao’s Light God Sword instantly extinguished, and even he was sent flying, only steadying himself after more than ten metres.
“I told you, you cannot kill him.”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua stood there, graceful and poised, exuding overwhelming dominance like a queen.
“But he is already dead.”
Ling Xiao smiled and said, “There are many ways to kill. Whoever I, Ling Xiao, want dead, you cannot save.”
What!
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua looked behind her in shock at Sword Demon.
A black sharp sword was pierced through Sword Demon’s heart. That sword was clearly formed from shadows.
“My martial slave!”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua’s expression suddenly turned ferocious and crazed.
She could not be blamed.
Ling Xiao had killed Sword Demon right in front of her. This was an insult to her!
A profound insult!
Moreover, when a martial slave was killed, the slave master would also suffer damage. This was another rule of the Martial Slave Contract.
Naturally, she hated Ling Xiao to the bone.
“I will kill you!”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua had completely lost her previous charm and nobility. Now she resembled an enraged madwoman, furious to the extreme.
She approached Ling Xiao at extreme speed, her palms blasting towards his chest, determined to kill him in front of all the teachers and students of Qingxu Academy.
However, in that instant, an extreme fear rose from the depths of her heart. She swiftly retreated and abandoned the attack.
Yet her face had still been slashed with a cut. Though the wound was not severe, for a woman it was no different from disfigurement.
“Len Mei, thank you.”
Ling Xiao looked at Len Mei standing beside him and smiled.
Even if Len Mei had not acted, he would not have died. Though he was not a match for this Zong Yu Bi’an Hua, evading her was no problem.
Still, thanks had to be said.
It was for Len Mei’s kindness.
“Get lost. Qingxu Academy does not welcome you. If you come again next time, prepare to leave your lives here entirely.”
Ling Xiao looked at Zong Yu Bi’an Hua and the others and said coldly.
“Ling Xiao, just you wait. Offending Bi’an Immortal Island, you know what the consequences will be.”
Zong Yu Bi’an Hua could sense that she was no match for Len Mei, so she could only give up. She turned, soared into the air, and left, taking Sword Demon’s corpse with her.
“Let us go too.”
Zhu Wen knew full well he could not be Ling Xiao’s opponent, let alone Len Mei’s. He stepped forward to support Ying Tianxia and also departed.
“Oh~~”
With all the enemies retreated, the teachers and students of Qingxu Academy erupted in deafening cheers.
Some even surrounded Ling Xiao and tossed him high into the air.
To them, Ling Xiao was no longer merely the most outstanding and powerful disciple among the younger generation of Qingxu Academy. He had become their saviour.
However, in the darkness, a gust of wind blew past. A shadowy figure swiftly approached Ling Xiao.
The scene was rather chaotic at the moment. Even if one more person appeared, it was likely no one would notice.
