“What? Unhappy? Then try your hand!”
Ling Xiao stood there watching Le Bie, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
In momentum, he had already won.
This was crucial for the outcome of a battle.
“Humph, rest assured, I will not kill you. Killing you would be too easy. I will keep you in my Myriad Beast Cave, tormented and broken every day. Then I will see if you can still spout such arrogant words!”
Le Bie’s emotions were high, but he still did not strike.
Ling Xiao suddenly laughed.
A brilliant smile spread across his face, as if he had heard something amusing.
“Le Bie, oh Le Bie, if you are afraid, just be afraid. Why mask it with such words? Fearing a stronger warrior is no shame.”
Ling Xiao said with a smile, “Just as I fear Sister Xie Li. Do you not even dare admit that?”
“Ridiculous! I fear you? I am the grand king of the Lizard people, a peak Ninth Heaven warrior. What are you? A mere early Seven Stars Heaven junior, daring such insolence before me!”
Le Bie said disdainfully.
“Still denying it?”
Ling Xiao said calmly, “I thwarted your plan to exterminate the Scorpion people and killed so many Lizard warriors. You should hate me to the bone, as you said, wishing to grind me to dust.”
“Yet you only talk, never act. Instead, Situ Mo struck for you, but that waste is already dead by my hand.”
“You fear following his fate, so you dare not move. Am I wrong?”
“Nonsense!”
Le Bie roared in fury.
But the fear in his eyes grew deeper.
Everything in his mind had been seen through by Ling Xiao.
He was indeed afraid.
From the moment Ling Xiao killed Situ Mo, he had feared.
When Ling Xiao slew over a hundred warriors with one sword, he was even more terrified.
Though he appeared calm on the surface, he hoped Feng Zhan would kill Ling Xiao for him.
But Feng Zhan dared not move either.
Feng Zhan feared Ling Xiao’s cunning, not to mention the troublesome Xie Li by his side.
“Le Bie, are you truly afraid?”
Feng Zhan turned to Le Bie and asked, “He is just an early Seven Stars Heaven warrior. Do not tell me you fear such trash.”
Feng Zhan was displeased.
Le Bie’s performance disappointed him greatly. If not still useful, he would kill him himself.
“Lord Feng Zhan, do not believe that boy’s words. He is provoking.”
Le Bie said hastily.
“Fine. If not afraid, kill him. I do not want to see this boy so arrogant before me! Remember, he likely knows the little prince’s whereabouts. Kill him, and Master Mutu can extract the information from his soul.”
Feng Zhan said coldly.
“Good, I will kill him now!”
Le Bie had no retreat.
He clearly felt Feng Zhan’s killing intent. If he dared not face Ling Xiao, he would face Feng Zhan’s blade.
So now he could only confront Ling Xiao.
Boom!
An evil aura spread through the hall.
Before Ling Xiao moved, Le Bie directly entered lizard form.
Not Lizard person, but lizard!
A huge lizard with ancient giant dragon bloodline.
His body became enormous.
Ten metres long, three or four metres high.
A bloody maw paired with sharp claws made him ferocious.
“You are indeed afraid!”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, his Jinwu Sword trembled, momentum surged again.
Le Bie, fearing him, chose his strongest form at the first move. Though laughable and self-incriminating.
But in giant lizard form, Le Bie was truly powerful, even capable of Tenth Direction Heaven warrior power.
“Roar——!”
A massive roar erupted. In giant lizard form, Le Bie forgot fear, opened his bloody maw, and spewed a fireball at Ling Xiao.
“Red Sun Cone!”
Ling Xiao thrust his Jinwu Sword, turning it into a huge cone.
Boom!
Flames collided with the Red Sun Cone. The ground instantly scorched, then sank, forming a charred pit.
Scorching fire waves rolled outward, spreading. Everyone felt the temperature, hot enough to melt skin.
Boom boom boom!
The flames intensified. Le Bie’s body surface turned crimson red, his attack grew fiercer.
Ling Xiao felt immense pressure. It was less like facing a giant lizard and more like a volcano erupting sideways.
His body was pushed back continuously.
Two grooves scarred the ground.
“Good grief, worthy of ancient giant dragon bloodline. Though not holy fire, its power is terrifying.”
Ling Xiao thought in alarm. This Le Bie was truly difficult.
Ordinary methods might not win.
But the fool could be exploited with special attacks for an easy victory.
Ling Xiao’s sword trembled.
Not from fear, but excitement.
The moment his thought moved, the sword knew his intent.
“Void Shadow Croc!”
A sword appeared in Ling Xiao’s left hand, the long-unused Purple Lightning Sword.
A huge shadow crocodile formed in the darkness, then lunged with the sword’s shadow toward Le Bie’s shadow.
“Roar!”
An even more startling roar burst from Le Bie’s maw. He sensed danger at the critical moment, released powerful energy, fully protecting his body and shadow.
Void Shadow Croc failed!
Yet Ling Xiao smiled.
“Swordsman! Fearless, my sword prevails everywhere!”
Light Shadow Divine Cone!
Void Shadow Croc was a feint.
Ling Xiao knew beasts’ keen senses well. He never expected it to work.
The true killer was the long-charged Light Shadow Divine Cone!
In that instant, Le Bie’s body seemed frozen. Black and white sword lights spiralled, pierced the raging flames, and shot straight into his mouth.
“No!”
Le Bie’s face changed drastically, trying to retreat.
But to his horror, he seemed trapped in a strange environment. Light Shadow Divine Cones surrounded him from all sides.
He had nowhere to flee.
His only choice was to endure!
“You dare!”
Feng Zhan’s voice suddenly rang out.
Likely seeing Le Bie’s impending tragedy, he struck to block Ling Xiao.
“Shameless, your opponent is me!”
Xie Li finally acted, intercepting Feng Zhan.
