Even though Python Five had already released the heavenly curtain, the tiger monster and bear monster still could not escape Lingxiao’s attack. They died miserably under Lingxiao’s sword.
Beneath the sword of this ferocious and enormous skeleton soldier, martial artists of the illustrious Cave Heaven realm had no strength to fight back. They did not even have time to flee.
The eagle flew away.
His speed was, after all, a step faster.
He burst out of the heavenly curtain and soared into the high sky.
As for his three dead brothers, he did not dare to glance at them even once. The only thing he could think of now was escape.
By this point, he had long been scared out of his wits. He had completely lost the courage to continue fighting. His heart was filled with the terror of being killed.
A mighty Cave Heaven realm martial artist had actually fled in panic.
If this matter got out, probably no one would believe it.
Yet right here, under the gaze of countless martial artists, he had truly escaped.
But would Lingxiao let him go?
The skeleton soldier stood there, the ghostly shadow sword in its hand aimed at the eagle monster in the sky.
At the tip of the sword, a massive Red Sun Cone was condensing.
Perhaps because of the skeleton soldier’s enormous body, this Red Sun Cone formed with remarkable ease.
Boom!
The Red Sun Cone shot through the air. The eagle monster was directly struck. Even its corpse completely vanished. The Red Sun Cone exploded in the sky like brilliant fireworks.
This left countless people dumbfounded.
Yet no one expected that Lingxiao would not stop there.
The fragments of the shattered Red Sun Cone fell from the sky and suddenly pierced towards Python Five’s four personal bodyguards: Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Mouth.
Lingxiao knew very well that this kind of sneak attack could not kill Python Five.
But killing Python Five’s four bodyguards was no problem at all.
First, those four would never expect him to strike suddenly.
Second, the power of the Red Sun Cone fragments now was more than enough to kill first-stage Cave Heaven realm martial artists.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
Four sounds rang out almost simultaneously. Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Mouth all collapsed to the ground at the same time. At their throats, the spots burned by the Red Sun Cone fragments had turned pitch black.
“You actually killed them!”
Python Five’s face suddenly darkened.
The death of the Four Monsters of Sin City only meant his plan had gone awry. He was not truly angry about it. But he had never imagined that Lingxiao would, without a word, wipe out the four bodyguards who had followed him for so long.
These four bodyguards were rare experts of the Black Python family.
Apart from himself, Python Feng, Python Tian, and Python Yuntu, these four were the strongest.
Yet today, these four had been killed so easily.
After a moment of shock, raging fury ignited in Python Five.
The gaze he directed at Lingxiao carried utterly terrifying killing intent.
“I am not only going to kill them. I am going to destroy the Black Python family! I will make you completely vanish from Sin City!”
From the skeleton soldier’s mouth came a voice so cold it was suffocating. “I gave you face before, so I was unwilling to become enemies with the Black Python family. But you insisted on forcing me. The destruction of the Black Python family is entirely your own fault, Python Five!”
As he spoke, red light blazed brightly in the skeleton soldier’s eyes. It even seemed as though scarlet flames were rising from them.
Yet these flames caused the Black Python family martial artists present to feel waves of bone-chilling cold and fear deep in their hearts.
More and more people gathered on the long street, naturally including a large number of Black Python family martial artists.
They had witnessed the scene of Lingxiao executing the Four Monsters of Sin City. They had also seen the corpses of martial artists from Blue Wave Island and the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company on the ground.
Lingxiao, this mere young man, had actually done something utterly astonishing.
Deep in their hearts, they even resented Python Five. Why had he provoked this bringer of calamity?
Why?
“Just you?”
Python Five looked at Lingxiao with disdain.
“Who told you I would not find helpers? Is it only allowed for you to use numbers against me, while I cannot even find a single helper?”
Lingxiao sneered.
“You are shameless!”
Python Five cursed.
“Shameless?”
Lingxiao could not help feeling somewhat stunned.
Was it shameless for him to get help from Moon Maiden?
Then what was Python Five’s bullying of the weak with greater strength and numbers?
Who exactly was the shameless one?
No wonder he came from a family of bastards. They had always loved to invert right and wrong.
“Leng Mei, Hua Fuguang, Sister Moon Maiden, you may act now. I want the Black Python family to disappear!”
Lingxiao’s patience had limits.
He truly had not intended to destroy the Black Python family before. But the moment Python Five publicly announced that he possessed the imperial jade seal, Lingxiao had made up his mind. He would certainly destroy the Black Python family.
Otherwise, the hatred in his heart could not be quelled.
At this moment, Corpse Granny, Zhang Tiande, and Representative Yan quietly withdrew to the side.
They were all cunning people. At a time like this, none of them would help.
What they most hoped for was that the Black Python family and Lingxiao would both suffer heavy losses, so that in the end they could seize the imperial jade seal.
Lingxiao seemed to have anticipated this. He instructed Leng Mei to deal with Python Feng, Hua Fuguang to deal with Python Tian, and Princess Yunya to deal with Python Yuntu.
Feng Ming Piaoxue did not intervene this time. Her purpose was to protect Lingxiao, not to become enemies with other organisations. As long as Lingxiao was not in danger, she would not act.
But it no longer mattered.
Without experts like Python Five, Python Yuntu, Python Feng, and Python Tian, the Black Python family was, to Lingxiao, nothing more than leeks waiting to be harvested. They posed no threat at all.
Thud!
Thud!
The skeleton soldier strode towards the place where the Black Python family martial artists were arrayed.
The surrounding crowd began to scatter and flee.
This was a terrifying battle. They did not want to be implicated just for watching the excitement.
“Lingxiao, if you dare touch anyone from my Black Python family, I will wipe out your Heavenly Dynasty!”
Even now, Python Five could still maintain his superior attitude, ordering Lingxiao about as though Lingxiao were his subordinate.
“Python Five, you seem not to have grasped the situation yet. Do you still have the right to command me? First, protect yourself!”
Lingxiao glanced at Python Five with disdain.
He indeed was not yet Python Five’s match, but not every enemy needed to be dealt with personally.
With a powerful helper like Moon Maiden, why not use her?
And Moon Maiden in the sky had long been unable to restrain her killing intent.
So many people had come to trouble Lingxiao today. From the very beginning, she had wanted to strike and kill everyone.
But Lingxiao had stopped her, because he wanted to train himself.
She had endured her anger until now. Yet Python Five still dared to provoke her. He truly was unlucky.
In the sky, a beam of moonlight fell, striking directly at Python Five.
Python Five was fortunate to dodge quickly, losing only an arm. Otherwise, today he would probably have died under Moon Maiden’s single strike.
Escape!
Python Five finally understood Moon Maiden’s terror!
This woman was still as terrifying as before. Even though his cultivation had reached the Yin-Yang realm, in front of her he was still worthless.
The only thing he could think of was to flee. There was no other choice.
Moon Maiden pursued relentlessly. She wanted everyone who had attacked Lingxiao to taste the flavour of pain.
Corpse Granny, Zhang Tiande, and Representative Yan were also frightened by this scene.
