Even though Ling Xiao could bring Situ Hongyan back from the brink of death, he could not do so perfectly.
“I am already very content. Ten days is enough time for me to do many things. Whether I live or die, we can talk about that later.”
Situ Hongyan showed no disappointment.
Someone who was certain to die had now gained an extra ten days of life. She had no reason to feel disappointed.
“Good. As long as you understand. We will deal with extending your life later. Today, I want you to watch how these people die.”
Ling Xiao first fixed his gaze on Corpse Granny.
If it had not been for Corpse Granny today, Situ Hongyan would not be half-dead, and he, Ling Xiao, would not have been framed.
So Corpse Granny could be considered the chief culprit.
“Leng Mei, you need not concern yourself with anything else. Just take good care of Situ Hongyan. Understood?”
Ling Xiao looked at Corpse Granny and instructed Leng Mei.
“Master, rest assured. I will.”
Leng Mei nodded. As long as Ling Xiao was not in mortal danger, she would naturally obey his orders.
But if Ling Xiao’s life were threatened, she would definitely disobey.
In her heart, Ling Xiao’s safety outweighed his commands.
Corpse Granny’s face had become extremely unsightly.
She was an expert, so she could naturally sense the terrifying surge in Ling Xiao’s strength.
She did not fear killing intent, but the overwhelming gap in power left her with no desire to fight.
She actually scrambled pathetically behind Seng Li.
“Corpse Granny, is it? Today, I will turn you into a real corpse granny!”
Beneath Ling Xiao’s icy expression, an even colder smile appeared.
This Corpse Granny often used the corpses of living people to refine puppets. She probably never dreamed that one day she herself would be turned into a corpse.
“If you want to kill our vice island master, you will have to get past me first!”
Standing in front of Ling Xiao was a corpulent but powerful elder of Bibo Island.
“Third Dongtian Realm? Ignorant fool!”
The moment Ling Xiao’s words fell, his figure vanished from where he stood.
“Ah~~~!”
A piercing scream rang out in an instant. This dignified inner sect elder of Bibo Island, at the Third Dongtian Realm, had his chest completely destroyed by a single finger from Ling Xiao, as if burned by fire.
All the internal organs in his body seemed to have turned to ash.
One strike, instant kill!
It looked that simple.
One must realise that, with Yuan Zun’s power borrowed, Ling Xiao could probably unleash the strength of a Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm expert.
Though the duration would not be long and there were numerous side effects,
The sheer power was undeniable.
Even an ordinary Half-Step Yin-Yang Realm martial artist could easily kill a Third Dongtian Realm martial artist.
Let alone a monster like Ling Xiao!
This scene turned the faces of everyone from Bibo Island deathly pale.
One must know that any Dongtian Realm martial artist was an elder-level figure on Bibo Island, and their numbers were few. Each one was a treasure of Bibo Island.
The death of even one would greatly weaken Bibo Island’s strength. That was why they rarely took action and seldom left the island.
Yet this time, they had merely come to Sin City and encountered Ling Xiao, only to be instantly killed.
Terrifying thoughts began to emerge in their minds.
The seeds of fear grew wildly, as if fertilised with growth hormones.
Ling Xiao had killed a Third Dongtian Realm martial artist so effortlessly. What, then, were these Celestial Realm martial artists worth in his presence?
Probably nothing at all.
Fear!
Intense fear enveloped their entire bodies. Only now did they realise how foolish and mistaken their judgement had been.
“What is there to fear? With me here, Ling Xiao cannot kill you!”
Seng Li stepped forward at the critical moment, staring coldly at Ling Xiao.
Though the current situation surprised even him, he had observed that while Ling Xiao could burst forth with such formidable strength, it definitely would not last.
Moreover, even at this level of power, he still had the ability to fight.
With the assistance of the others, even if they could not kill Ling Xiao, they could buy time for Corpse Granny to recover quickly.
Once Corpse Granny recovered, Ling Xiao would undoubtedly die!
The people of Bibo Island seemed to awaken at Seng Li’s words. Many of them emerged from their fear.
Their eyes now revealed strong fighting spirit rather than dread.
A cold smile appeared in Ling Xiao’s eyes.
If the enemy lost their will to fight so quickly, it would not be fun.
Only killing them when they were full of confidence would be satisfying.
He admitted that Seng Li was strong and had accurately identified his weakness of not being able to sustain the battle.
But what Seng Li did not know was that Ling Xiao was confident he could completely wipe out everyone from Bibo Island within the duration of this power.
He did not need to target Seng Li specifically.
Ling Xiao chose to pick the soft persimmons.
After all, Situ Hongyan was protected by Leng Mei. Even Seng Li could not harm Leng Mei in the slightest.
He had no need to worry at all.
The battle began in an instant. Ling Xiao lunged towards a Celestial Realm Seven-Star Heavenly Martial Artist.
A martial artist of this level had once been someone he looked up to. Yet today, this person did not even have time to react before collapsing to the ground.
He did not even understand how he died.
Ling Xiao’s figure had already pounced towards another person.
Continuous screams rang out among the crowd. The fear that had just subsided resurfaced.
When Ling Xiao targeted a Half-Step Dongtian Realm martial artist, this fellow lost all courage to resist and chose to flee.
However, Ling Xiao’s speed in his normal state was already far greater than this person’s, let alone now when he possessed part of Yuan Zun’s power.
His speed was so great that even Seng Li could not touch the hem of his clothes.
This pitiful Half-Step Dongtian Realm martial artist, a pillar and absolute elite of Bibo Island, was killed with a single finger strike while fleeing. There was no suspense.
Panic spread!
Complete collapse!
At this point, the people of Bibo Island could no longer be calmed by a word or two from Seng Li.
Seng Li began to regret!
For Corpse Granny’s sake, he had actually offended such a monster.
Those weaker than Seng Li, who were being hunted by Ling Xiao, regretted it even more.
They even wished Corpse Granny would hurry up and die.
This had always been a sect without morals, righteousness, or shame.
They could abandon Situ Hongyan, so naturally they could abandon Corpse Granny too.
As long as it benefited them, they would not hesitate for a moment to abandon even their own mothers.
Many people fled from Corpse Granny’s side, leaving her almost completely isolated.
Ling Xiao’s target finally settled on Corpse Granny.
A gigantic Taotie appeared behind him. There, a world emitted a silent, hollow sound.
From the Taotie emanated an incomparably terrifying intent of destruction and slaughter with the sword.
At this moment, Ling Xiao was a true sword demon.
A terrifying god of death!
An unparalleled sword of slaughter!
Corpse Granny’s lips began to tremble. She realised that even Seng Li had distanced himself from her.
It was as if she carried a plague, and anyone who touched her would be poisoned and die.
