Today, Ximen Bumie did not encounter Ling Xiao at the west gate, but he did encounter Ling Xiao’s women.
Several female disciples from Qingxu Academy who had come together to buy clothes on the street.
At this moment, Leng Mei had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, Ji Mingkong’s clothes were disheveled, and Lan Yuer had collapsed to the ground with a deathly pale face.
These three were the strongest among the girls, yet they still could not match Ximen Bumie and Li Chengxiu.
Moreover, Ximen Bumie and Li Chengxiu had brought along a group of disciples who had originally defected to Shenhuang Academy, including many from the former elite class whose cultivation was only slightly inferior to Leng Mei and Ji Mingkong.
After this siege, it was already quite impressive that Leng Mei and Ji Mingkong had not been completely defeated.
“Hehe, just you two women think you can fight me, Ximen Bumie? I was once the top-ranked disciple at Qingxu Academy, with cultivation at the early stage of Bahuang Tian. Who among you can stand against me?”
Ximen Bumie sneered repeatedly.
Although he could not provoke the Ten Phoenix Sons, he could certainly provoke these women.
Leng Mei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with cold killing intent.
Ji Mingkong’s icy face retained its due arrogance.
The two stood together. Today, with Ling Xiao absent, they absolutely could not lose.
“Ximen Bumie, you cannot kill us today. One day, we will surely kill you!”
Ji Mingkong said coldly.
No one who dared to insult her like this had survived except Ling Xiao.
Her current cultivation was inferior to Ximen Bumie’s, but her cultivation speed was much faster than his. It would not take long for her to surpass him.
“Exactly!”
Leng Mei touched her storage ring, seemingly hesitating whether to use her final trump card.
Her training in that death valley back then had not only elevated her cultivation; she had also gained life-saving abilities before leaving.
“Hahaha, I am so scared. You are just disciples of Qingxu Academy. Do not think that occupying a little advantage in the pill market now means you can suppress our Shenhuang Academy. I know your academy’s foundations very well.”
Ximen Bumie laughed loudly. “Once Vice Dean Feng Ming Wan Zhong returns, the Wonder-Hand Heavenly Venerable will surely refine even better pills and completely crush your Qingxu Academy. Your good luck will not last much longer.”
After becoming a dog of Shenhuang Academy, Ximen Bumie seemed to have absorbed the academy’s vicious aura.
Or it could be said that he had completely torn off his disguise, revealing his true nature.
“I truly do not know where your confidence comes from.”
Ji Mingkong shook her head. “Do you really think that since we defeated you once, we cannot defeat you a second time? How utterly foolish.”
“You call me stupid?”
Ximen Bumie’s expression grew even more ferocious. “Li Chengxiu, make your move. Destroy the faces of these stinking women. I really want to see what expression Ling Xiao will have when he sees it, hahahaha.”
“Big brother, do we really have to do this? That Ling Xiao is not easy to provoke. The Blood Skull was the best example before. Not to mention, both our vice deans had their arms crippled by that kid.”
Li Chengxiu was somewhat afraid.
He had originally only planned to beat these women to vent his anger, but disfiguring them was too much and would definitely enrage Ling Xiao.
He was not afraid of Ling Xiao himself, but the problem was that Ling Xiao had people behind him.
“Fear nothing! If Ling Xiao truly had some expert backing him, would he be deliberately avoiding us?”
Ximen Bumie said disdainfully. “The reason the two vice deans got into trouble was probably because Qingxu Academy’s higher-ups made their move. As long as we stay inside the academy, what can he do?
Besides, I heard Teacher Yang Yijun say that the Wonder-Hand Heavenly Venerable is developing pills better than the Return-to-Heaven Spirit Pill. The only thing missing now is medicinal materials. Once the materials arrive, Qingxu Academy will inevitably collapse completely again. When that dark moment comes, we will have great merit. Do you want to keep being bullied like this?”
“Alright, I believe you.”
Li Chengxiu had always followed Ximen Bumie at Qingxu Academy, and now at Shenhuang Academy, it was the same.
Without Ximen Bumie, his situation would probably be even worse.
“Brothers, for our own well-being, charge! Destroy these women’s appearances and see if they dare to strut in front of us again!”
Li Chengxiu waved his hand and shouted loudly.
Behind him, more than a dozen Heavenly Human Realm martial artists charged ferociously at Leng Mei and the others.
Looking at the girls’ fine figures, they even revealed lecherous smiles and swallowed their thirsty saliva.
Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like martial artists, Leng Mei and Ji Mingkong resisted with great difficulty.
“Ji Mingkong, take Sister Lan and the others and go first. I will hold them off!”
Leng Mei saw the situation turning dire. The opponents’ moves were not only vile but also ruthlessly vicious. With all of them injured, if this continued, problems would surely arise.
So she decided not to hold back and would reveal her trump card.
“No, if something happens to you, Ling Xiao will kill me!”
Ji Mingkong shook her head and shouted loudly.
At that moment, a long sabre slashed fiercely towards her shoulder.
The wielder was a martial artist in his thirties, absolutely considered old among the disciples of the two academies.
Although his talent was not great, long-term cultivation had given him extremely thick Tianyuan force.
The sabre came down with full force.
Leng Mei, seeing this, hurriedly pushed Ji Mingkong away.
“No——!”
After pushing Ji Mingkong away, Leng Mei’s head was right under the sabre, startling Lan Yuer into crying out.
Boom!
A black shadow suddenly appeared and struck the sabre-wielding martial artist with a punch.
This punch was clearly struck in hatred, so its power was terrifying to the extreme.
The sabre-wielding martial artist’s head exploded directly, bursting open like a watermelon. After falling, he was completely lifeless.
“Anyone who touches my people must die!”
Ling Xiao was truly furious.
The consequences were very serious!
He had to be ruthless, or else any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to touch his people in the future.
Before coming here, he had already decided what to do: kill all who made a move!
Shenhua Academy was currently overwhelmed with its own troubles and probably could not spare energy to handle this matter, so killing them was fine.
As the black shadow flickered continuously, all the martial artists who had just attacked Ji Mingkong and the others were killed.
Only Li Chengxiu and Ximen Bumie were left standing there.
Corpses littered the path, and the onlookers were all pale-faced.
Many had heard of Ling Xiao’s reputation, but today they were still shocked by these ruthless methods.
Without paying attention to the sullen-faced Li Chengxiu and Ximen Bumie, Ling Xiao turned back to support Leng Mei and asked his friends, “Is everyone alright?”
“This servant is fine, but Sister Lan’s injuries are quite serious.”
A blush floated on Leng Mei’s face as she said shyly.
Ling Xiao casually took out several healing pills and gave them to Leng Mei, Ji Mingkong, and the others, then squatted down to check Lan Yuer’s condition.
