The corpse granny never imagined that one day she would end up in such a situation, abandoned by everyone and betrayed by those close to her.
“Do you regret it? Are you afraid? But it is already too late. When you falsely accused me, when you falsely accused Situ Hongyan, you should have realised what a tragic end you would meet.
What is happening now is merely your retribution.
So accept it calmly!”
Suddenly, the enormous Taotie swung its claws towards the corpse granny. Those massive claws had actually condensed the energy of the Lingxiao Nine Cauldrons Sword Domain. Each nail was a gigantic sword, each one containing a terrifying murderous aura capable of destroying heaven and earth.
The corpse granny used her last strength to seize several Biwave Island disciples with her white bone claws and pull them in front of her, attempting to use their lives to shield herself from danger.
Unfortunately, those people were instantly torn to pieces by the sharp sword qi.
It was as if they had been quartered by five horses. The scene was truly somewhat horrifying.
“Run… If we don’t run now, we’re finished. There’s no need for us to die alongside that corpse granny!”
Lingxiao’s overwhelming power completely exposed the true nature of the Biwave Island members.
One by one, they revealed themselves as cowardly as mice, utterly shameless and without any principles.
Lingxiao truly began a massacre, moving through them as if in an uninhabited realm, slaughtering the people of Biwave Island without restraint.
Not only that, the gigantic skeleton soldiers swung scythe-like weapons, reaping lives.
A tiny butterfly danced gracefully among the crowd. Every time it touched a person, a life would be completely burned away.
The Butterfly Girl, along with the helpers Lingxiao had summoned through the Divine Tomb Eye, were equally formidable.
Apart from Seng Li, they could slaughter almost everyone else.
“Thinking of escaping now? Unfortunately, it is too late.”
There was not the slightest trace of sympathy or pity in Lingxiao’s eyes.
“Nine Cauldrons Sword Domain!”
As his voice fell, the enormous nine cauldrons suppressed the space within a radius of more than ten metres.
Terrifying strands of sword qi examined every single Biwave Island disciple.
Several who tried to flee were ruthlessly pierced through the body by this sword qi and died on the spot.
This was hardly a sword domain. It was simply a demonic domain!
The disciples of Biwave Island were utterly stunned.
They had heard of Lingxiao’s fearsomeness, but they had never imagined he would be such a terrifying harbinger of death.
If they had known, why would they have provoked this fellow?
“Since you have already done the deed, you must bear the consequences. Therefore, all of you must die here!”
Lingxiao’s coldly sinister voice emerged from his mouth like shards of ice.
Every word that rang out made people tremble all over.
The Phantom Shadow Sword appeared in his right hand, and towering sword intent permeated the sword domain.
“Die!”
As the Phantom Shadow Sword slashed down, the sword qi within the domain shot out accordingly.
In just an instant, the bodies of dozens of Biwave Island disciples were pierced by a single sword.
The places where they were pierced were astonishingly identical.
All through the throat!
All at the most fatal spot!
Death turned out to be so simple.
In this small patch of space, both heaven and earth had been dyed red.
The corpse granny stared blankly at it all. She seemed finally to understand what her greatest miscalculation regarding Lingxiao had been.
This person, Lingxiao, was simply not a hero.
He was merely someone who acted according to his own ideas. Such people were the most terrifying!
Wilful and unrestrained!
“Are you afraid now? Terrified? I thought you, who have always toyed with the corpses of others, would never fear death. I did not expect you yourself to be afraid of dying.”
Lingxiao looked indifferently at the corpse granny.
At this point, apart from Seng Li and the corpse granny, everyone else had already been killed.
As for Seng Li, he had been crippled by the combined efforts of the Butterfly Girl and the skeleton soldiers, then thrown in front of Situ Hongyan.
“He is your enemy. If you wish, you may kill him yourself.”
That is what Lingxiao said.
Facing Seng Li, Situ Hongyan showed no hesitation at all. She simply slashed off his head with one sword stroke.
Not only had Seng Li known about the matter concerning her younger sister, he had also been an accomplice.
Now that Mo Shaoyou was already dead, if Situ Hongyan wanted to avenge her sister, the one she had to find was naturally this fellow Seng Li.
She gave Seng Li no chance to explain himself.
After all, she was not Lingxiao. She was very worried that a few honeyed words from Seng Li would trick her into being unable to strike.
In the end, she was still too soft-hearted.
“Now only you remain. Do you know why I saved you for last?”
Lingxiao turned to the corpse granny and revealed a cold smile. “That is because you are more shameless than them, so I have prepared a special gift. I intend to let you enjoy it properly.”
“You! You must not kill me. I was wrong, I truly was wrong. As long as you spare this worthless life of mine, you may do whatever you want with me!”
At this moment, the corpse granny regretted it completely.
She finally understood that Lingxiao was far more terrifying than she had imagined, even more devil-like than she had thought!
This fellow was not merely as powerful as the rumours outside suggested. He was simply a devil of terror.
On her face appeared the expression a loser should have: fear, timidity, panic.
All the former dominance, smugness, and ruthlessness had vanished without trace.
Lingxiao had even killed Seng Li. No one on Biwave Island could stop him now.
She knew very well that the strongest person on Biwave Island was the island master. Yet the corpse granny clearly understood in her heart that Island Master Mo would already be doing well to preserve his own life against the Moon Maiden. He could never come to save her.
Therefore, at this moment, she could truly only beg for mercy.
She hoped Lingxiao would show compassion and spare her life.
“Begging for mercy? I say, can you not have a little backbone? Here, take this. It is a pill I refined. It will allow you to recover your strength quickly. Then the two of us can have a fair and open duel. How about that?”
Lingxiao smiled faintly, took out a pill, and tossed it to the corpse granny.
“Is it really a pill for recovery?”
The corpse granny clearly did not believe Lingxiao would be so kind.
“Use it or not, as you wish. Either way, you are going to die.”
Lingxiao said indifferently.
The situation was exactly like that. The corpse granny had no room to bargain with him. Even if she knew it was poison, she would probably still have to try it.
After a moment of silence, the corpse granny swallowed the pill.
A short while later, her face lit up with excitement.
“Hahaha, lad, you’re not bad. You actually dared to give this old woman such a miraculous elixir. Now that this old woman has recovered, you’re in trouble.”
The corpse granny suddenly revealed a ferocious smile.
Yet Lingxiao still wore a calm, indifferent smile.
“Getting triumphant so quickly? It seems that’s all the capability you have.”
“Lad, this old woman knows that you have numbers on your side and this old woman is no match, but I’m afraid you don’t know, do you? This old woman’s ultimate secret technique is something that even the island master would fear.”
The corpse granny also appeared very composed.
“Oh? So you think you can kill us?”
Lingxiao asked in return.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth. This corpse granny before him actually did not realise that her life was already in his hands.
