Chapter 400: A Terrifying Sword
“Leave? Does this father need to leave? You ignorant thing.”
Chief Tu looked ferociously at the Young Master of the Green Valley and said: “You, just wait there, after this father killed this trash of the Moonlight Sect, I’ll slaughter your entire Green Valley, then this father will see if you can still speak or not!”
“Young Master, you don’t need to fear. This surnamed Tu will die today! And that Skeleton Stronghold also doesn’t need to exist anymore!”
Ling Xiao’s tone wasn’t ferocious, but it was decisive, showing strong confidence.
“Thank you, Master Ling!”
Although the Young Master of the Green Valley couldn’t see who was stronger and who was weaker, since Ling Xiao had saved them, in their eyes, Ling Xiao’s status was comparable to deities.
“Little kid, is this your first time leaving the Moonlight Sect to carry out a task?”
Suddenly, Chief Tu was not as angry as before. He, instead, became very calm. However, his eyes were filled with a strong killing intent that couldn’t be hidden.
“So what?”
Ling Xiao indifferently said.
“No wonder!”
Chief Tu sneered: “Within the sect, if you make a mistake, your Master or apprentice brothers will protect you, but outside, you will die if you make a mistake.”
“Of course, I know that. Those two disciples of the Beast King Palace made a mistake and they died. I understood this truth even before joining the sect.”
“Hahaha, since you understand this truth, you should also know that strength is everything outside!”
Chief Tu laughed and said.
“In other words, the disciples of the Beast King Palace raised a banner in this manor because they thought that they are stronger than me, so they can snatch my merit?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“That’s right! The rules of the outside are not as complicated as the rules inside the sect. It has always been one, that’s strength!”
Chief Tu nodded his head and said: “With great strength, you can make rules! Since you are stronger than those two trashes of the Beast King Palace, you killed them and take back the merit that belonged to you. This is the rule! And since this father is stronger than you, this father will kill you and snatch your merit, this is also the rule!”
“So that’s how it is, I never thought that the outside world is much simpler than what I imagined.”
Ling Xiao stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand and Ice Dragon Sword appeared in his hand.
“It’s actually a rare-grade treasured artifact. You two, listen, this thing belongs to this father!”
Upon seeing Ling Xiao’s Ice Dragon Sword, Chief Tu became greedy.
However, this might be the last greed he had before his death.
Because the moment he turned his head, an ice-cold sword qi had already pierced through his throat.
It was as if everything was calculated perfectly. When he turned his head, the sword qi arrived.
This sword was surprisingly fast!
This sword was ice-cold!
This sword was the sword that took lives!
Its name was ‘Flying Snow’, was Ling Xiao’s fastest sword move!
Chief Tu still had a greedy smile on his face. His expression hadn’t changed yet.
However, his vitality rapidly drained.
And at that time, he heard that youth saying something.
“This rule, I like it!”
Everything afterward had nothing to do with him because he had already died, completely losing his life!
The chief of Skeleton Stronghold, who had killed countless people for decades, was killed in a single sword move by such a young kid.
The entire area became terrifyingly silent.
No one, including Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai, saw through Ling Xiao’s move.
There was not even the slightest aura fluctuation. It was as if the sword of death suddenly released at that instant.
“What a terrifying strength!”
The onlooking crowd had seen Ling Xiao casually taking out a sword, then casually thrusting it forward.
But the chief of Skeleton Stronghold, who had been in power for decades, fell on the ground, thoroughly parting from this world.
They naturally knew how terrifying that sword move was.
Merely, their cultivation base was not strong enough, moreover, their eyesight was also not sharp enough. Therefore, they were unable to see the beauty of that sword.
They felt that they were very fortunate that they knew themselves and didn’t step forward to help She Mei deal with Ling Xiao.
Otherwise, the person lying on the ground there wouldn’t be Chief Tu, rather themselves.
Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai were already kneeling on the ground.
Moreover, they were trembling.
These two had the highest cultivation here. Although they were unable to completely understand the mystery of Ling Xiao’s sword move, they could feel how terrifying it was.
They were very clear that they had no chance to survive under that sword move.
Therefore, they basically didn’t even have the thoughts of running away because it was impossible to escape from this young man.
People were afraid of the strong.
Especially when the opponent was so powerful that one couldn’t even think of resisting, one could only beg the opponent for mercy.
Resist?
That would only make one die faster and more tragically.
“Why are you two kneeling there? Stand up and take up your weapons. Didn’t you two want to kill me? You can do it now. If you can’t do it alone, then you two can cooperate too.”
Ling Xiao looked at these two kneeling people with contempt. They were the figures that dominated the Secular World, but at this moment, they were so small and ugly.
Directly kneeling in front of him like this, he couldn’t feel the slightest respect towards them.
“Master Ling, we have eyes but don't recognize Mount Tai! Please, spare our lives, and hereafter, we will go through fire and water for you without the slightest hesitation!”
Suzerain Lin hastily said.
“I’ll also do that.”
Castellan Bai also hastily said.
“Hehe.”
A hint of mocking smile appeared on Ling Xiao’s face and he said with disdain: “If I remember correctly, weren’t you two arguing with this dead dog to kill me? A great man, an overlord of a region, how come you are not admitting these things? Wouldn’t this make you two a laughing stock?”
Suzerain Lin and Castellan Bai trembled even more when they heard Ling Xiao’s words.
Ling Xiao was right. Just a moment ago, they had indeed not attached any importance to Ling Xiao. Moreover, they even wanted to kill Ling Xiao first to obtain She Mei.
Kneeling here at this moment was truly not something a great man would do.
But what if they were not a great man?
Even if they lose face today, as long as they could survive, they were willing to do anything.
“Master Ling, we are blind dogs. As long as you spare us today, we will do anything.”
Suzerain Lin gritted his teeth. Today, he completely admitted his fault, but in order to survive, losing face was nothing.
“Yes, Master Ling, feel free to instruct us.”
The attitude of Castellan Bai was the same.
Ling Xiao ignored these two people, turned around, and asked the Young Valley Master of the Green Valley and said: “How are these two people?”
“I haven’t heard them doing too much evil.”
The Young Valley Master replied.
Ling Xiao nodded his head. It seemed that these two weren’t the same as the Skeleton Stronghold’s Chief Tu. Perhaps, they were just enchanted by the scheming beauty, She Mei, and did today’s stupid things.
In this case, the dog lives of these two people could be spared.
After thinking for a bit, he looked at those two people and said: “I can spare you life, but you have to kill that woman, and then go and destroy the Skeleton Stronghold!”
