Though Xie Li gained no advantage in this clash with Feng Zhan, she blocked his rescue.
“Die! I told you to leave early!”
Ling Xiao felt no pity for Le Bie. He had given the man a chance, but not only did he reject it, he tried to kill him.
From the moment Le Bie ordered those warriors to attack, Ling Xiao had put him on his blacklist.
Seeing that unstoppable sword, Le Bie’s face twisted to its limit.
He could not block it!
No matter what, he could not!
Even in giant lizard form, deep terror surged from his heart.
He, the grand king of the Lizard people, who could have exterminated the Scorpion people and unified the Poison Desert, was to die at the hands of a nobody?
He refused!
He was unwilling!
Pfft—boom!
The world fell silent.
Le Bie felt no more despair or reluctance, for he was dead.
His huge body exploded from the belly, reduced to mush, not even a complete corpse.
On that massive beast face lingered terror and regret.
He should not have provoked Ling Xiao.
Truly should not.
If he had listened at the start and left, perhaps this would not have happened.
Watching the enormous body topple in the hall, everyone’s breathing quickened.
Some from fear.
Others from excitement.
The mighty Lizard king, dead just like that.
Ling Xiao kept his word. What was this youth’s background? How could he be so powerful!
“What a terrifying youth!”
Among the Lizard people, none dared seek revenge.
Their king was slain, and so easily.
The Black Crow Empire warriors trembled, their mockery and jests gone. The one they scorned had killed the Lizard king.
The Shenhuang Empire warriors grew cold with fear. Ling Xiao had offered them a chance, but they ignored it, unbelieving he could do anything. Yet he soon slapped their faces.
What kind of young man was this?
One sword slew the shadow swordsman Situ Mo, like crushing an ant.
One sword slew over a hundred Heaven-Human Realm warriors, as casual as waving a hand.
In moments, he ended the Lizard king Le Bie, cunning as a fox, fierce as a dragon.
No words could describe this youth.
Even “prodigy” fell short.
For even prodigies could not do what he did.
He was the king of prodigies!
Only sixteen, still a boy, yet achieving such world-shaking feats.
Could his earlier claim of repelling Temur Mutu and capturing the little prince Jiumo Zhiyan be true?
No one had taken his words seriously before, not even the Scorpion tribe.
But now, they began to believe.
This youth was doing things they never imagined.
Each deed, if spread, would shock heaven and earth, make ghosts weep!
Xie Li stared at Ling Xiao, her eyes full of shock.
His performance was perfect!
Miraculous!
Had she not seen it herself, she would never believe it.
“You brat, you have truly enraged me!”
Feng Zhan was furious.
Ling Xiao had killed Le Bie before his eyes. This humiliation angered him more than his own death.
He, a half-step Yin-Yang Realm expert, could not stop Ling Xiao from striking Le Bie.
“So what if I enraged you? You think too highly of yourself. I snatched Jiumo Zhiyan from your hands, killed Le Bie before your eyes, and I can finish you too. Believe it or not?”
Ling Xiao winked at Xie Li, then turned coldly to Feng Zhan.
Feng Zhan was not an opponent he could beat alone, but with Xie Li, it should be possible.
Among the enemies, besides Temur Mutu, this Feng Zhan was key. Kill him, and today’s battle still had a chance to turn.
Though the outcome hinged on the Scorpion King versus Temur Mutu, it added hope.
“I will kill you!”
Feng Zhan ignored Xie Li, his eyes locked on Ling Xiao. In his view, Ling Xiao’s threat now surpassed hers.
Though weak in strength.
But this boy was too cunning. If not eliminated quickly, endless trouble would follow.
Feng Zhan’s body began to change. Black wings formed behind him, his form gained many crow traits.
Not fully transformed yet, but Ling Xiao clearly sensed Feng Zhan was going all out.
Regardless of Xie Li’s interference, he would kill Ling Xiao.
Not just bodily changes, a phantom knight with a long spear appeared behind him.
The knight wore full metal armour, his steed similarly clad, looking mighty and formidable.
“I thought he had a spear martial soul. Turns out it’s the rarer knight martial soul, plus black crow bloodline. This Feng Zhan is tough. Sister, be careful!”
Ling Xiao frowned. In this fight, he could only assist. Xie Li was the main fighter.
“Relax, little brother. Sister knows what to do.”
Xie Li transformed too. Though losing her earlier allure, she gained ruthless ferocity.
“Feng Zhan, you slaughtered many of my brothers. Today I take your dog life. You want me dead, I want you dead. Let us see who lives!”
Ling Xiao held both swords.
Jinwu Sword in one, Purple Lightning Sword in the other!
Facing Feng Zhan, even in support, he must give his all, hold nothing back, or suffer.
“Die!”
Feng Zhan’s spear shook, terrifying spear shadows thrusting at Ling Xiao. Behind him, the huge knight phantom swung its spear, delivering a mighty thrust.
This strike scorched the air with foul odour, flames twisting and burning within.
He targeted Ling Xiao, not Xie Li!
“Damn, you really think highly of me.”
Ling Xiao would not clash head-on. He used Swift Light Divine Walk to dodge, then vanished with Shadow Step.
Xie Li blocked Feng Zhan’s attack. Pipa notes rang out. A giant scorpion met the valiant spear.
Clearly, Xie Li struggled more than before.
In the desert, Feng Zhan had held back. Now he unleashed full power. Xie Li retreated over ten steps, nearly stumbling.
“If you hide, I will kill her first!”
Feng Zhan’s spear met no resistance, spear shadows condensing again toward Xie Li.
“To kill her, protect yourself first. Double Light Shadow Divine Cone!”
Ling Xiao’s figure appeared suddenly. Two swords, two Light Shadow Divine Cones attacked Feng Zhan from both sides.
