“Didn’t you hear us? Hand over that sword!”
The long-haired man yelled.
“It’s best to do it quickly. An artifact of this level can attract a fatal disaster. As the saying goes: treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime! You understand this, right?”
The short-haired man continued with a smile: “Boy, I don’t care where you come from and what you want to do by drawing your sword, but you better not act rashly. Quickly hand it over, and we will not look into your faults!”
“Hee hee, you heard it, plebeian! As long as you willingly offer your sword, this Miss will reluctantly let you become my follower. In the future, your clan can obtain the protection of our Sword King Sect!”
That girl grinned.
“Still not hurrying up? Could it be that you’ll be obedient only after we kill you and exterminate your family?”
The long-haired man coldly said: “My Junior Sister is the granddaughter of our Sword King Sect’s elder. Becoming her follower is the blessing of your eight lifetimes. Quickly kowtow, hand over that sword, and go to Heavenly Peak City to take a look at the situation for us.”
In the eyes of these three disciples, Wan Ben was an insignificant ant.
Thus, Ling Xiao, who was Wan Ben’s lackey, was also insignificant.
Therefore, they maintained an aloof tone. They had never considered what this person standing in front of them was thinking.
They basically didn’t care at all.
Who cared about an ant that could be trampled to death at any time?
In their view, as long as the name of the Sword King Sect was mentioned, martial artists of the Secular World would be too frightened to even move.
Besides, all three were Rank Two Transcendent Realm powerhouses. In the Secular World, they were absolute gods.
“Hehe, you all are truly arrogant enough. The disciples of the twelve sects are so unbridled. Are you all not afraid of kicking an iron plate?”
Ling Xiao slightly smiled and said: “Since you all want to die so much, I will fulfill your wish.”
These three idiots actually dared to let him take out the Ice Dragon Sword without any wariness.
Wasn’t this looking for death?
Ling Xiao took a step and rushed forward with the Ice Dragon Sword.
Then, a head fell to the ground.
“It seems the head of a Sword King Sect’s disciple is not as hard as I had imagined. Why are you all nobler than others?”
“You actually dared to kill my Senior Brother?”
That female disciple screamed.
Ling Xiao had killed that long-haired man who had a cultivation base at Initial Rank Two Transcendent Realm with a single swing without even using any martial skills.
“Yes, not only did I kill him, but I’ll kill you all too!”
Ling Xiao’s sword trembled as he rushed forward once more.
However, it was not so easy now.
After all, it was not easy to deal with a Rank Two Transcendent Realm martial artist. Only with a surprise attack could he kill them instantly.
“Junior Sister, don’t worry! Just watch me avenge our Senior Brother!”
The cultivation base of the short-haired man was the highest among the three, at Peak Rank Two Transcendent Realm. It was absolutely not easy to deal with him.
This person held two broken swords that emitted violent auras greeted Ling Xiao’s Ice Dragon Sword.
“I don’t care who you are! Since you dared to kill a disciple of my sect, I will definitely tear you to a thousand pieces before eradicating your entire clan!”
Clang!
A broken sword blocked Ling Xiao’s attack before the other broken sword sprang out like a poisonous snake and flashed with sword light.
It then emitted the sound of freezing a flowing river.
In an instant, a bone-piercing chill filled the secret room.
The Sword King Sect’s rare gold-grade martial art: Cold Ice Sword Technique.
Frozen Three Inch!
Ling Xiao could feel that this Cold Ice Sword Technique was on the same level as the Raging Fire Sword Technique he had previously encountered.
However, when this person displayed it, its might was obviously stronger.
When that broken sword thrust forward, it actually made people feel like winter had come, and the sky had been covered with ice and snow.
This sword move was indeed powerful. It instantly broke through Ling Xiao’s protective true essence. Like an ice snake, it sought to pierce through Ling Xiao’s throat.
“Sure enough, a Peak Rank Two Transcendent Realm martial artist is truly not so easy to deal with.”
Ling Xiao became more careful.
This person was different from those Rank One Transcendent Realm martial artists, so he could not rest easy. Otherwise, his end might be the same as that long-haired man’s.
Ling Xiao didn’t retreat but dared to draw another sword, Floating Snow Sword, to block the short-haired man’s sword light.
At that instant, the icy chill passed through his Floating Snow Sword and entered his body, before penetrating his meridians like a cold poisonous snake.
That feeling was truly uncomfortable.
“Die, ignorant plebeian!”
The short-haired man showed a cold smile.
He saw Ling Xiao’s entire body freeze, seemingly, as he seemingly turned into an ice sculpture.
The people, who had fought against him in the past, had all died without a doubt upon reaching this state. There was basically no possibility of him surviving.
“Hee hee, Senior Brother, you can kill him but be sure to not break the treasured sword.”
That junior sister seemed to have already forgotten the death of her fellow disciple.
Sure enough, she was a person who treated human life as nothing.
In her view, Ling Xiao was a dead person. She didn’t even bother to look at him, focusing on his Ice Dragon Sword.
The reason Ling Xiao didn’t counterattack was that he had discovered that this ice-cold sword qi actually matched the Golden Lotus True Essence within his body, and it was continuously integrating into it, improving his cultivation and the quality of the true essence.
This made him a bit unwilling to end the fight here.
However, the short-haired man thought that Ling Xiao was dead, so he stopped injecting his true essence and raised his leg, wanting to kick the frozen Ling Xiao and break this human ice sculpture into pieces.
Unfortunately!
Ling Xiao helplessly shook his head. Just a little bit more, and his cultivation base would have reached Initial Rank Two Transcendent Realm.
Boom!
Just before that short-haired man kicked him, Ling Xiao shook slightly, and the ice layer disappeared, as if evaporated by a higher temperature.
At the same time, he thrust his Ice Dragon Sword forward.
Puchi!
The short-haired man was completely caught off guard. He hastily tried dodging, but he was still stabbed in his heart. He then vomited blood as his eyes dimmed.
Even a Transcendent Realm martial artist would die if he were beheaded or his heart destroyed unless he cultivated a special defensive martial art.
“Ah! How…”
The sudden change completely stunned the short-haired man.
Only when he sensed his vitality quickly running out and the deep pain in his chest, did he understand.
A sword had stabbed him, a sure kill sword.
“Junior Sister, run!”
Just before his death, the short-haired man realized that this man was absolutely not a plebeian, let alone Wan Ben’s lackey.
He was a terrifying fellow, one who could take their lives at any time.
He truly regretted why he hadn’t been more cautious and careful before!
