Standing behind Mang Tian was Mang Yuan, whose tongue had stopped bleeding.
However, with his tongue cut off, Mang Yuan could no longer speak. He could only communicate with Mang Tian through soul power or by using gestures.
Ling Xiao glanced faintly at Mang Yuan. Naturally, he knew what had happened. He smiled slightly and said, “So it is the chief guard of the Black Wind Tower. I spared your life before, yet you deliberately come knocking to let me kill you.”
“How dare you! This is the Black Wind Tower, not a place for you to run wild!”
Mang Tian roared angrily.
“Who is this idiot baring his fangs and brandishing his claws like a wild beast?”
Ling Xiao asked, looking at Mang Yuan.
Mang Yuan naturally could not speak.
At this moment, Mang Xiao walked over and said, “Ling Xiao, you have gotten yourself into big trouble today. Mang Tian is one of my father’s most capable assistants. His strength is far greater than mine. Now that you have provoked him, even I cannot save you!”
“Save me? In your heart, you probably wish I were dead. After all, I made you play the fool so thoroughly.”
Ling Xiao glanced faintly at Mang Xiao and said mockingly.
“You truly cannot tell good from bad. I am trying to help you!”
Mang Xiao said.
“Hehe, my eyes are not blind. I will not mistake a jackal for a qilin.”
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said.
“Mang Xiao, why waste words on this fellow? Today this boy has offended all of us. We must get an explanation from him. I only want the Youying Sword and the Ghost Fiend Mother-Child Swords. Everything else on him belongs to you.”
At this point, Mo Shaoyou also approached. He was determined to get Ling Xiao and did not take him seriously at all.
The fight had not even started, yet he was already thinking about dividing the spoils of victory.
Clearly, with more people, both Mang Xiao and Mo Shaoyou had grown bolder.
“Hehe, Brother Mo speaks wisely.”
Although Mang Xiao also coveted the Ghost Fiend Mother-Child Swords and the Youying Sword, he was more interested in the two women, Yue Nü and Leng Mei.
Seeing the situation, Mang Tian fell silent.
He could not afford to offend either Mang Xiao or Mo Shaoyou. Since these two young masters wanted the other’s life, helping them achieve that would be better.
His goal was simple. As long as Ling Xiao died, it was enough. It did not matter whether he was the one to do it.
“Brother Mo, Mang Tian, after it is done, those two women are mine. The Youying Sword and Ghost Fiend Mother-Child Swords belong to Brother Mo. All the spirit stones on that fellow go to you, Mang Tian. Agreed?”
Mang Xiao added.
“No problem.”
Mo Shaoyou nodded and said.
“Everything as the young master commands.”
Mang Tian also nodded.
“But Mang Xiao, which of us will deal with that Ling Xiao?”
Mo Shaoyou asked.
He was somewhat wary of Leng Mei.
“You take Ling Xiao. I will handle those two women.”
Mang Xiao smiled sinisterly.
“Good. It is settled.”
Mo Shaoyou sneered inwardly. He believed Mang Xiao had no idea how powerful Leng Mei was, which was why he said that.
Yet unbeknownst to him, Mang Xiao was also mocking him for not knowing how formidable Ling Xiao was.
Though these two were supposedly cooperating, in reality, each was scheming against the other. Their infighting was disgusting.
Many in the crowd shook their heads secretly at this scene.
Now it was over. Of all people, Ling Xiao had to provoke Mo Shaoyou and Mang Xiao, and he even cut off the tongue of Mang Yuan, the chief guard of the Black Wind Tower.
They had seen madmen before, but never one like this. Satisfied now? He had become the prey.
There were many who courted death in this world, but one who did it in such a flamboyant way was a first.
However, these people did not know that the moment Mang Xiao set his sights on Leng Mei and Yue Nü, he had sealed the tragic fate of himself, Mo Shaoyou, and the others.
In this world, some jokes could not be made.
Some reverse scales could not be touched.
For Ling Xiao, family and friends were his reverse scales.
At this moment, Yue Nü and Leng Mei were his reverse scales.
Mang Xiao and Mo Shaoyou had touched his reverse scales. He no longer intended to show mercy.
A chilling killing intent suddenly erupted and burst forth, instantly enveloping Mo Shaoyou and Mang Xiao. Some onlookers who were closer were also affected. In that instant, they felt as if their blood vessels were about to freeze solid.
Facing Ling Xiao’s killing intent, Mo Shaoyou and Mang Xiao naturally did not retreat.
Neither was an ordinary person. They could not possibly be intimidated by Ling Xiao’s killing intent alone.
A wicked gleam flashed in Mang Xiao’s eyes as he scanned Leng Mei and Yue Nü with a profane gaze.
However, Mang Xiao did not rush to attack at this time.
Mo Shaoyou knew Mang Xiao was waiting for him.
Immediately, he drew the icy black sword from his back. Black light flickered, exuding a powerful and frigid aura.
“Let us attack together. We will see whether you capture those two women alive first or I kill Ling Xiao first!”
With that, Mo Shaoyou moved. His foot lightly stamped the ground, his black sword trembled, and his whole body shot forward.
Like a leaping cheetah, full of power and speed, he turned into a gust of fierce wind.
The wind raged, causing the surrounding buildings to creak. Sparks from the black sword friction with the air exploded continuously, producing tremendous noise.
At the same moment Mo Shaoyou attacked, Mang Xiao also struck.
His entire body transformed into a massive black python, coiling and soaring with a whistling sound. The air filled with a foul odour.
This odour contained powerful toxins. Where it dripped onto the floor, it even corroded the bluestone slabs.
Almost all the onlookers retreated hastily. The terrifying toxins made them tremble and dare not approach.
“As expected of the two proud sons of heaven. No wonder some call them the Twin Prodigies of Sin City. It is because they appear most often in Sin City, are the most prominent, and have the most outstanding strength among the younger generation.”
“Yes, too powerful!”
Despite feeling fear in their hearts, it did not stop the crowd from admiring Mang Xiao and Mo Shaoyou.
Mo Shaoyou’s sword was sharp and icy cold. The piercing whistling sound was like a death knell.
Mang Xiao’s poison was sinister and terrifying. Transformed into a black python, he had become a truly ferocious monster.
One was the young island master of Bi Bo Island!
The other was the young master of the Black Python family!
These two were not only outstanding among the younger generation but also backed by powerful forces.
Provoking both at once, even in death, it would be hard to sympathise.
“With this sword strike, that Ling Xiao is certain to die! When the Life-Seizing Sword is drawn, it must taste blood. That is Senior Brother Mo’s style!”
The disciples of Bi Bo Island watched excitedly. That arrogant and smug Ling Xiao was finally going to meet his end under Mo Shaoyou’s sword.
Among peers, almost no one could survive Mo Shaoyou’s sword. Ling Xiao would be no exception.
“Something is wrong! Why is Ling Xiao facing Young Master Mang Xiao!”
The crowd was shocked to discover that Ling Xiao completely ignored Mo Shaoyou’s sword and instead blocked Mang Xiao’s path as he attacked Yue Nü.
To deal with these two wastes, there was no need for Yue Nü or Leng Mei to act. He alone was enough.
