“Since Fairy Linglong has invited me, I’m naturally willing.”
Ling Xiao nodded his head and said.
“Thank you for giving me a face, noble son, I still don’t know how to address you?”
Fairy Linglong asked with a smile.
“My surname is Ling.”
“It turned out to be Noble Son Ling! I’m looking forward to working with you!”
Fairy Linglong showed a very charming smile.
At this moment, a cold-faced martial artist standing beside her looked unhappy. This person’s cultivation base had reached Initial Rank Five Transcendent Realm, and it was normal for him to look down on Ling Xiao.
“Humph, what noble son. just a little brat.” That person snorted: “Fairy, we have agreed that the minimum requirement of the cultivation base to participate in this mission is Late Rank Three Transcendent Realm because that place is very dangerous. This kid’s cultivation, however, is just Initial Rank Three Transcendent Realm. He is basically not qualified.”
“A brat who hasn’t been weaned yet, who can be at ease with him as a companion?”
“Fairy, let me join your team instead.”
As soon as that cold-faced martial artist spoke, the other Rank Three Transcendent Realm martial artists that wanted to join that team began to clamor.
Fairy Linglong smiled, looked at Ling Xiao, and said: “Noble Son Ling, how about showing them your strength? These people are very prideful. They won’t listen to my explanation.”
Ling Xiao thought inwardly: Don’t you just want to see my true strength? Humph, it’s a pity that it’s too difficult to fulfill your wish. Even without taking off the Refine Array Stone, it’s easy for this noble son to deal with a Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm martial artist.
Thinking of this, he nodded his head.
“Okay, don’t you all want to compete with Noble Son Ling for a spot? We only need thirty people this time, and there is only one spot left. Originally, it was left for Noble Son Ling, but since you all are not convinced, challenge Noble Son Ling one by one.”
Fairy Linglong’s approach was purely trying to make trouble for Ling Xiao.
There were so many martial artists. There were over a dozen martial artists above the Late Rank Three Transcendent Realm. Fortunately, the strongest one was also just Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm. Otherwise, Ling Xiao would have to reveal some of his true strength.
“No need to go through so much trouble, come together!”
No matter how many Rank Three Transcendent Realm martial artists there were, Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid at all. Because if these people didn’t have any special means, they wouldn’t even be able to breakthrough his defense. He just needed to attack.
“Talking big!”
“Boy, you are courting death!”
“Since he said so, let’s go together and make this brat know that it’s not good to be reckless outside.”
Along with chaotic roars, a total of fifteen Late Rank Three Transcendent Realm and Peak Rank Three Transcendent Realm martial artists rushed towards Ling Xiao.
If these people knew how to cooperate, then they might be able to hold on for a while longer.
However, they were too clumsy. They basically didn’t know each other, so it was just like a swarm of bees.
Ling Xiao couldn’t help sneering and took out a Refine Array Stone.
And after activating it with his true essence, a lot of fire snakes appeared on the ground.
Although this Fire Snake Array had been transformed by Ling Xiao, it already possessed the power equivalent to an attack of a Rank One Transcendent Realm martial artist, moreover, a Fire Snake Array had as many as over a hundred fire snakes.
The most important thing was, in this array, the fire snakes couldn’t be destroyed. Unless the array was broken, even if the fire snakes were destroyed, they would be reborn again.
The sudden appearance of the fire snakes caused chaos among the fifteen martial artists. If they had calmed down a bit, then they could have easily escaped the array even if they couldn’t break it.
Unfortunately, these people fell into panic.
In addition, two qi swords appeared on his fingertips, and just standing on the same spot, he could attack the enemies within the entire Fire Snake Array.
Instantly, several people were pierced by two qi swords and turned into a pool of blood.
Naturally, they weren’t dead. Ling Xiao was not a bloodthirsty demon. He Just injured them.
In any case, Transcendent Realm martial artists could recover quickly from these little injuries.
Once some people collapsed with injuries, the scene became even more chaotic. There was even a conflict among them.
As a result, Ling Xiao had to barely use any true essence and easily defeated fifteen martial artists in just sixty breaths.
“Fairy Linglong, did you get the result you wanted?”
Ling Xiao looked at Fairy Longlong with a smile and asked.
“Noble Son Ling actually knew formation techniques, that was truly surprising!”
Fairy Linglong said with surprise.
“Nothing interesting, can we enter the mountain now?”
The reason Ling Xiao wanted to reveal a bit of strength was mainly to warn Fairy Linglong. If she truly wanted to deal with him, then she had to prepare for heavy losses.
He could also be regarded as a benevolent and just person. If the other party still didn’t realize, then he could only kill the other party.
“Of course.”
Fairy Linglong replied with a smile.
“By the way, I want to go to the Thousand Ghosts Forest this time, so if it’s not on the route, then we might have to part after entering the depths of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.”
Ling Xiao reminded her.
“What a coincidence, it just happened to be on the route.”
Fairy Linglong replied.
“That’s good then.”
As for whether it was true or not, Ling Xiao didn’t care at all. In any case, he joined this team just to eliminate the potential trouble.
He was the type of person who was unwilling to leave troubles for the future. Otherwise, it might be more troublesome in the future.
……
After entering the depths of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range, the team’s speed slowed down a lot.
Because dangers lurk everywhere here, a little carelessness might make them pay a heavy price.
In the forest, it seemed very quiet, but there was the rustle of leaves often.
One basically couldn’t tell whether it was caused by the blowing wind, or a fierce beast hiding in it, or some malicious martial artists.
One had to say that the people chosen by Fairy Linglong were all of the high quality.
Naturally, the quality mentioned here referred to professional qualities.
As ‘beast hunting martial artists’ who often ventured into the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range, each one of them had developed a pair of sharp eyes.
Their eyes seemed to be able to see through clumps of grasses and bushes, easily noticing the unexpected situations in the forest.
Meanwhile, they had already drawn out their weapon, ready to deal with changes at any time.
Obviously, these people had often worked together. They should have entered the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range with Fairy Linglong many times.
Therefore, they all had their own code words to communicate.
With a gesture and a look, one could understand what the other person meant.
Ling Xiao didn’t understand the gestures of these people at first, but it was not difficult for him to learn it. After just a short while, the Landscape martial Soul had already analyzed all these gestures and looks.
He was also able to clearly understand what these people meant.
Merely, he never mentioned it. At this time, he had come together with the people just to see what these people wanted to do.
Some things were better kept secret.
The additional weight of three thousand pounds brought along by the Refine Array Stone made it very difficult for him to walk.
However, even like that, he was not left behind.
The benefit of cultivating the physical body during the Martial Vein Realm could be finally seen at this moment.
Because of this outstanding physical body, he was able to accept such a cultivation method of Venerable Yuan.
