Not just Nan Xiong, many of the watching martial artists also showed the same expression.
The value of the black fire lotus was probably no less than cultivating in this lake.
Powerful auras rushed towards Ling Xiao all at once, pressing down on him, trying to make him give in.
Ling Xiao’s face remained calm. Here, there were hundreds of Cave Heaven realm martial artists.
Although most had just broken through to the Cave Heaven realm, there were still more than ten who had reached the third Cave Heaven realm or higher.
Did these people really think he would back down just because they were all pressuring him together?
He gave a light laugh and said, “There are only three black fire lotuses. With so many of you, who should I give them to?”
His words immediately created cracks among those powerful Cave Heaven realm martial artists.
Although no one said anything on the surface, they all began to watch each other warily.
In their eyes, Ling Xiao was nothing. Taking the black fire lotuses from this kid should be easy.
The real problem was that there were already more than ten martial artists at the third Cave Heaven realm or above. Three black fire lotuses were nowhere near enough to share.
“The three black fire lotuses belong to our Giant Whale Sect. Anyone who dares to snatch them is an enemy of our Giant Whale Sect.”
Nan Xiong said coldly.
“Nan Xiong, are you an idiot? The black fire lotus is such a precious treasure, and you really want to use the Giant Whale Sect to threaten people? We even killed experts from the Immortal Island. What is your Giant Whale Sect worth?”
A fifth Cave Heaven realm martial artist sneered at Nan Xiong, showing no respect to the Giant Whale Sect at all.
Nan Xiong frowned but said nothing.
What the man said was true. The forces of the Sacred Dynasty’s Immortal Island were far stronger than the Giant Whale Sect. If others dared to provoke even the Ji family of the Immortal Island, what were they?
“Everyone, do not let that kid drive a wedge between us. He must have more than three black fire lotuses on him. First seize them, and we can discuss how to divide them later.”
Although Bald Mountain Eagle was cowardly, his mind was sharp. He instantly exposed Ling Xiao’s attempt to sow discord.
“That’s right, kid. If you want to live, it’s simple. Leave your storage ring and get lost.”
Nan Xiong had also realised this by now and shouted at Ling Xiao.
He did not want to fight Ling Xiao right now.
After all, Ling Xiao had killed the fifth elder of the Giant Whale Sect, so his strength was clearly not weak. His own strength was inferior to the fifth elder’s. If he fought now, he would definitely get injured.
Once injured, all the good things would probably be snatched by others, and he would get nothing.
“Exactly. You are young and your cultivation was not easy. Leave your things and get lost quickly. Do not say we elders are bullying you.”
Bald Mountain Eagle also sneered.
He felt calm and composed now.
As long as there was no internal conflict on their side, Ling Xiao, just one small fish, could not turn the situation over at all.
“What if I refuse to give them?”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and asked back.
“Do not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Letting you leave shows we still have some mercy from heaven. If you want to die, these people here can drown you with just one spit each.”
Nan Xiong laughed coldly.
Although he did not think Ling Xiao was easy to deal with, with so many of them here, how could they possibly fear a single kid like this?
So he did not take Ling Xiao seriously at all.
“Heh, so robbing me is actually giving me face.”
Ling Xiao laughed mockingly and said, “I will not hide it from you. If you all attack together, I will indeed feel a bit scared. But I can also guarantee that before I die, I will at least drag a dozen of you down with me. Whoever moves first, I will kill first!”
As his words fell, a terrifying slaughter sword intent suddenly erupted from Ling Xiao’s body.
The sword intent soared into the sky, extremely horrifying.
“No wonder. I did not expect you to be a Cave Heaven realm martial artist too. No wonder you are so arrogant. But with your cultivation, you still cannot escape death!”
Nan Xiong frowned. He finally understood why the fifth elder had died. This kid was no weakling. If he had used a sneak attack, even the fifth elder had a high chance of being killed.
Ling Xiao’s expression stayed indifferent.
He felt there was no need to waste words with these people anymore. To intimidate them, he had to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!
He would kill one or two experts with thunderous force. Only then would these people feel fear and dare not oppose him.
The two chickens he chose were Nan Xiong and Bald Mountain Eagle.
Nan Xiong was from the Giant Whale Sect and had a deadly grudge with him. He was also the first to trouble him. Killing him was not unjust at all.
As for Bald Mountain Eagle, he had once released sword intent wandering souls in the Ghost Mountain Villa for this guy to capture.
Unexpectedly, this guy had betrayed him.
Since that was the case, killing him would not be innocent either.
After choosing the chickens to kill to scare the monkeys, Ling Xiao’s Taiji eyes spun. A sword emerged from the void above his head.
A sword of slaughter.
Sword Spirit’s Eye: Slaughter Sword!
This was the first time Ling Xiao used a sword formed purely from sword intent to kill.
The stronger the sword intent, the stronger the sword spirit!
“This killing intent feels so familiar. Could he be the expert who cultivated on Black Fire Mountain?”
Ji Mengmeng looked at this scene in horror, almost unable to believe it.
She had thought Ling Xiao was in danger, so she asked the middle-aged man surnamed Chen to help.
Now it seemed the one in danger was not Ling Xiao at all.
Ling Xiao had actually survived the explosion on Black Fire Mountain. Although she did not know how he did it, Ji Mengmeng believed Ling Xiao’s strength was far beyond expectations.
Those people actually dared to tell Ling Xiao to get lost?
They actually dared to rob Ling Xiao’s things?
This was like a little rabbit blocking a fierce tiger and boasting shamelessly.
Nan Xiong’s frown grew deeper.
He could feel how terrifying Ling Xiao’s sword intent was and how much pressure it brought him.
“Bald Mountain Eagle, let us join forces to kill him.”
At this moment, Nan Xiong no longer cared about face. If he capsized in the gutter, he would truly die. Better to team up with Bald Mountain Eagle.
Losing face was fine as long as he survived.
“Alright!”
This time, Bald Mountain Eagle did not refuse.
Back in the Ghost Mountain Villa, he had not agreed to join Green Hair against Ling Xiao.
But now he had no choice.
He knew he had thoroughly offended Ling Xiao. If he could not kill Ling Xiao, the one who might die in the end would be him.
“Heh heh, kid, you asked for this!”
Terrifying domain elemental power erupted from Nan Xiong’s body. Behind him, a massive brown bear phantom suddenly appeared and let out a horrifying roar.
Beast-type martial souls might not look flashy, but they were extremely hard to deal with in battle.
“That’s right. We told you to leave and you refused. Now go die. Do not blame us for not giving you a chance when you are dead!”
Bald Mountain Eagle also released a terrifying aura. Behind him, a huge bald eagle phantom emerged.
It was also a beast-type martial soul.
One brown bear, one bald eagle, both extremely ferocious martial souls.
One was a fourth Cave Heaven realm martial artist, the other a fifth. Both had much higher cultivation than Ling Xiao.
Now they were joining forces to kill Ling Xiao.
