What move to use.
What move would be most suitable.
It was completely instinctive.
This was the so-called unintentional sword.
The piercing light dispersed the darkness, and Situ Mo’s miserable scream echoed through the hall.
Then people saw Situ Mo collapse to the ground, already on the brink of death.
Everyone was stunned, their hearts feeling as if something had gripped them tightly, the shock leaving them unsure what expression to show.
Except for a few individuals, no one had actually seen what Ling Xiao had done in that moment.
It was too fast.
Faster than people’s thoughts!
“I said long ago that the names of the dead need not be remembered, but since you helped me gain some insight, I will leave you half a dog’s life. Get out!”
Ling Xiao sheathed his Jinwu Sword without glancing at Situ Mo again.
To him, this was an utterly insignificant opponent.
What he cared about now were Le Bie and Feng Zhan.
Without killing these two, the Scorpion people’s troubles could not be resolved.
He might not care, but all the Scorpion people cared deeply.
Among them were those who had heard of the Shadow Swordsman’s fame.
Like Xie Li!
Though Xie Li had said Situ Mo was no match for Ling Xiao, it was just talk, after all, Ling Xiao had saved her.
But at this moment, she truly felt that it was not that Situ Mo was inferior, but that comparing the two was unnecessary.
In front of Ling Xiao, Situ Mo was just a dog, wagging its tail at Temur Mutu, lacking any swordsman’s sharpness or courage.
Comparing Situ Mo to Ling Xiao was an insult to Ling Xiao.
The Ling Xiao standing there now was not just a benefactor to Xie Li, but a real man, a hero.
A swordsman full of heroic spirit!
Fearless, with edge fully exposed.
This was the great hero, the great champion in her mind!
In a certain moment, the shadows of the Human King and Ling Xiao seemed to overlap again, and the overlap grew more and more.
Xie Li’s cheeks flushed involuntarily.
She had truly fallen in love!
Unexpectedly in love with a human she could never love in her life!
Scorpion people’s emotions were direct and straightforward, they admired great heroes and champions, unlike the complex and changeable emotions of humans.
“You! Do you know who I am? You dare injure me?”
Situ Mo lay weakly on the ground, speaking in terror.
“I do not care who you are. If you do not disappear from my sight immediately, I will crush you like an ant!”
When Ling Xiao spoke, his eyes remained on Feng Zhan and Le Bie, completely disregarding Situ Mo.
“I am from the Righteous Alliance! General Jia sent me to assist the Lizard people in exterminating the Scorpion people!”
Situ Mo was extremely weak, but this time his voice was exceptionally loud.
“Oh?”
Ling Xiao suddenly paused, his gaze returning to him.
“Haha, scared now? As a person of the Shenhuang Empire, you dare attack me. If General Jia finds out, you are dead.”
Situ Mo grew smug again, laughing happily at Ling Xiao’s stunned expression.
“Quickly heal me, perhaps I can still speak well of you to General Jia. Otherwise, in the Shenhuang Empire, it will be your doom.”
“Hehe.”
Ling Xiao suddenly laughed too.
“What are you laughing at?”
Situ Mo frowned.
“I laugh that you could have lived, but I utterly despise that so-called General Jia. Since you are his subordinate, you can go ahead first. Rest assured, he will join you underground soon!”
With that, Ling Xiao stomped directly on Situ Mo’s head, killing him on the spot.
Use a sword?
He feared dirtying his blade!
General Jia!
Righteous Alliance!
This foolish Situ Mo had no idea how much rage those two terms provoked in him.
“Pfft!”
Like a watermelon bursting.
Everyone’s hearts were gripped tightly once more.
Ling Xiao had really killed Situ Mo. Was he not from the Shenhuang Empire? He dared kill someone from the Righteous Alliance?
And more unbelievably, he crushed him like an ant!
This shock made many Shenhuang Empire warriors hidden among the Lizard people tremble in fear.
The most surprised were probably Le Bie and Feng Zhan.
They had hoped Situ Mo could probe Ling Xiao’s strength, but learned nothing.
Just one move.
No, it was not even a proper move, just casually killed.
“I know there are many Shenhuang Empire warriors here. No matter who sent you, if you stand out now and join me against the Lizard people and Black Crow Empire, I will overlook the past and even petition for your merits upon return. Otherwise, none will live!”
Ling Xiao’s eyes turned icy.
Having killed Situ Mo, he could not let the news reach the Shenhuang Empire. So whether from General Jia, the Righteous Alliance, or the Emperor, unless they tied their fate to his, they must die.
Colluding with the Black Crow Army alone was treason, leaving them no reason to live.
Yet no one moved.
Though Situ Mo was strong, he was only an early Ninth Heaven warrior. His death was his own lack of skill.
Were there not Feng Zhan and Le Bie?
Le Bie was a peak Ninth Heaven warrior, Feng Zhan a half-step Yin-Yang Realm expert. Even a hundred Ling Xiaos could not match them.
So these warriors saw no way Ling Xiao could turn the tide.
They even thought he courted death.
Why follow him to die?
“I will kill you to raise my banner!”
Le Bie stared coldly at Ling Xiao.
Though he had little connection to Situ Mo, killing him in his presence was intolerable, a slap to his face.
Moreover, if Ling Xiao lived, the Scorpion people might think a saviour had come. He must kill this man to plunge them into total despair!
Ling Xiao looked calmly at Le Bie.
This opponent was not too strong.
Peak Ninth Heaven cultivation, far above Situ Mo, but not unbeatable.
With clever use of his knowledge, defeating him should be feasible.
As for Feng Zhan, leave him to Butterfly Girl.
“Young master, Le Bie’s strength is too great, you are no match. Let this servant handle him.”
Xie Li stepped in front of Ling Xiao, speaking seductively.
At this moment, she sincerely wished to become his.
“Sister Xie Li, save your energy for Feng Zhan. Le Bie alone, I do not fear.”
Ling Xiao smiled.
Xie Li wanted to speak but ultimately said nothing.
The Ling Xiao before her was only a Seven Star Heaven early-stage warrior, yet she felt a vast, encompassing aura.
