“A thief is a thief! You treat your brothers so heartlessly. How can I, Ling Xiao, associate with evil people like you all?”
Hearing the Big Chieftain, Ling Xiao shook his head.
“It seems you are truly courting death!”
The Big Chieftain’s complexion turned sinister.
“Big Brother, there’s no need to speak any more with this boy. Catch him first so as to avoid extra troubles!”
The Second Chieftain yelled.
“Go!”
The Big Chieftain waved his hand, and besides himself, the remaining ten chieftains attacked simultaneously.
Falcon Fist!
Flowing Sword!
Wind Breaking Blade!
Hunting Wolf Kick!
……
Ten chieftains at Peak Rank Six Martial Vein displayed their famous techniques to attack Ling Xiao.
The Big Chieftain didn’t make a move because he wanted to intercept Ling Xiao if he fled.
In their view, Ling Xiao’s greatest threat was his speed, which they had recognized from their henchmens’ reports. However, Ling Xiao stood there without any intention to move.
He just stared at the Big Chieftain with a smile full of disdain.
These thieves lived in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range all year round, so they were used to bullying weak although they didn’t dare to provoke the four big clans of Heavenly Peak City.
In essence, they were rats.
Apart from being arrogant and ignorant, they didn’t have any other traits.
Clang!
Bang!
Boom!
Crack!
……
Because Ling Xiao hadn’t dodged, all ten attacks landed on him.
Bull Demon Technique-Ice Demon!
Ling Xiao seemed to grow, but actually, he was only wrapped with an ice demon shell that was two to three meters tall.
Those chieftains’ attacks landed on the ice demon shell without injuring Ling Xiao in the slightest. In response, he shot out snow lotus gang qi.
This snow lotus gang qi originated from the perfection realm Superior Peak Martial Art <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>.
Its might was terrifying, and Rank Six Martial Artists couldn’t resist it.
Besides, these ten chieftains were focused on attacking Ling Xiao, so they hadn’t prepared any defenses and were instantly frozen.
Bang, bang, bang…
Ling Xiao seized the chance to punch these ten chieftains with Meteorite Fist and sent them flying one after another.
When frozen people were hit, not even a celestial being could save them.
This scene flabbergasted the Big Chieftain.
Although he had thought of many possibilities, he had never planned for such a result.
This youth’s strength far exceeded the strength of an average Peak Rank Six Martial Vein martial artist.
Although he had not reached the Martial Master realm, he could be considered a Half-Martial Master.
“When did Ling Xiaotian produce such a monster!”
The Big Chieftain was shocked.
Although he had heard of the results of the Heavenly Peak Gathering, he had never cared about a children’s gathering.
Apparently, he had made a mistake.
“Now, I have killed your twelve brothers, and you too will soon accompany them on the road to the Yellow Spring!”
Ling Xiao told the Big Chieftain.
“Boy, you are truly ruthless!”
The Big Chieftain gnashed his teeth.
“Ruthless? Compared to the Black Scarf Thieves who have massacred commoners and low-level martial artists, there is still a big gap between me and them.”
Ling Xiao indifferently replied.
“Little brother, I know you hate our Black Scarf Thieves, but we have neither enmity nor hatred. Now that you have killed my twelve brothers and many of my subordinates, your hate can be considered resolved, right?”
“What do you want to say? Don’t beat around the bush.”
Ling Xiao coldly said.
“Little brother is straightforward. Very well. Today, I will give you all the wealth of the Black Scarf Thieves in exchange for my life. How about it?”
Black Scarf Thieves’ Big Chieftain offered.
“Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?”
Ling Xiao calmly said.
“Little brother, don’t be too arrogant! I admit that you are strong, but I have a treasure in my hand. If we truly fight, both sides will suffer.”
Big Chieftain said.
“Well, it is not difficult for me to let you go, but your wealth better be worth your life.”
Ling Xiao coldly said.
Hearing Ling Xiao words, Big Chieftain immediately raised his eyebrows in joy. “Rest assured, little brother. You will definitely be satisfied; please follow me!”
Ling Xiao nodded and followed the Big Chieftain towards the bandits’ treasury.
However, the Big Chieftain didn’t notice that as he turned around, Ling Xiao had clandestinely performed something.
The two people went beneath the Black Scarf Thieves’ lair where a large treasury was hidden.
After all, even in the four major clans of Heavenly Peak City, very few people had storage rings.
Thus, the Black Scarf Thieves possessed at most four or five storage rings; moreover, they would all be of common grade with space limited to three square meters.
These rings couldn’t store many treasures.
When the vault’s door opened, Ling Xiao was nearly blinded by the golden radiance.
Although he didn’t measure carefully, Ling Xiao was sure that the gold here would be enough to cultivate <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> to the eight transformation.
In addition to gold, there was a large amount of silver and a small number of spirit stones.
As stated before, spirit stones were much more precious than gold and silver. At this moment, Ling Xiao had only one hundred low-grade spirit stones in total, but this treasury contained roughly 30-40,000 spirit stones.
“How is it, little brother? Are you satisfied?”
Big Chieftain saw that the wealth had attracted Ling Xiao and approached him with a smile.
The man twitched.
Black Tiger Dig Heart!
In an instant, the Big Chieftain’s gang qi erupted, and he used the Entry-level Peak Martial Art, Black Tiger Dig Heart, to strike at Ling Xiao’s heart.
The distance was too close!
The speed was too fast!
In this circumstance, Ling Xiao had no time to react, let alone defend himself.
After all, the Big Chieftain of the Black Scarf Thieves was a Peak Rank Six Martial Vein martial artist.
A fist stabbed through Ling Xiao’s body while the Big Chieftain revealed an insane smile.
“Boy, did no one tell you to never believe a thief’s words?”
“No one ever told me that, but I’ve certainly learned it this time!”
Ling Xiao’s voice unexpectedly emerged behind the Big Chieftain.
The Big Chieftain trembled as his mind fell into complete chaos.
He didn’t understand! He had clearly killed Ling Xiao, so how had he appeared behind him?
“You! How did you do it?”
He asked in shock, already accepting his fate.
This youth was not only powerful but also brimming with mysterious means that he was simply unable to guard against.
“Ai, after taking your things, my conscience would not let me kill you, but since you made a move, I have no reason to hesitate!”
Ling Xiao sighed. Seeing the Big Chieftain reach into his pocket, he immediately made a move.
A sword light flashed with speed that surpassed Ling Xiao’s own movement technique.
The Big Chieftain’s movements stopped.
Once the sword light had penetrated his throat, although his mouth moved, no words came out.
