“Don’t… Don’t come near me…”

Lin Haoyu’s voice trembled. He suddenly realized that even if Lin Shan could take revenge for him after, everything would mean nothing if he died.

“Saint, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have gone against you, and I shouldn’t have hurt Miss Xue Wei. I’m inhumane, please spare me…”

He kneeled in front of Ling Xiao as his legs gave way. The other disciples were shocked to see him slapping himself while tears rolled down his cheeks.

‘Is that Senior Brother Lin Haoyu, who’s known for being arrogant?’

The other disciples scorned at Lin Haoyu.

“Saint, I know I was wrong, I really do. I won’t ever go against you anymore, please let me go!”

While Lin Haoyu was seemingly begging Ling Xiao out of desperation, he hid the strong killing intent he had within his eyes.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, he charged at Ling Xiao with a silver cylinder.

“Go to hell! Hahahaha…”

He laughed hideously as he activated the mechanism in his hand and about ten silver rays shot forward.

Despite that, he quickly noticed that something was off.

‘Where did he go?’

“Torrential Pear Blossom Needles? You even dipped them in poison. A careless master in Dragon Tiger Boundary could be killed, you really planned this well…”

Ling Xiao’s mocking voice sent chills down Lin Haoyu’s spine.

Before he knew, Ling Xiao had appeared behind him.

He initially thought that he had hidden his killing intent very well, but it seemed like Ling Xiao had noticed his ill intention long ago. Hence, Ling Xiao took the opportunity to use his Longevity Footwork to go behind him while he retrieved the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles earlier.

“Ling Xiao, my grandfather won’t let you go for sure. You’re dead! You’re dead!”

Lin Haoyu turned pale upon realizing that his sneak attack had failed. He knew that Ling Xiao was not going to spare him no matter what.

Pa!

Ling Xiao slapped him without saying a word.

Consequently, half of Lin Haoyu’s face swelled up and he was sent flying over ten feet away while he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“I’ll fulfill your wish since you want to die!”

Ling Xiao slapped him a few more times until he could no longer rebuke anymore. Surrounded by a pool of blood, Ling Haoyu was lying on the ground with weak vital energy and blood.

At last, he approached Lin Haoyu to grab his neck. His eyes could no longer hide his killing intent.

It was at that moment that Lin Haoyu truly felt a death threat, but he could not utter a single word, thus he could only beg Ling Xiao with his eyes.

“Ling Xiao, stop!”

Right then, a pretty figure called out to him.

“Lin Haoyu is Grand Elder Supreme Lin Shan’s grandson. If you kill him, you’ll be in deep trouble! Let him go first, we can work this out!”

The pretty figure was Nangong Qing.

Dressed in a white dress, she carried a long sword, looking as elegant as a fairy from the highest of heavens.

In spite of that, she was extremely anxious and afraid that Ling Xiao was really going to kill Lin Haoyu.

“You’re scared of Lin Shan, but I’m not! He hurt Xue Wei, so he must die!”

Ling Xiao looked at Nangong Qing coldly before he twisted Lin Haoyu’s neck.

“How dare you…”

Lin Haoyu was in disbelief as he did not think that Ling Xiao was still going to kill him after Nangong Qing had arrived. Eventually, his eyes went dull and he collapsed to the ground.

“You really killed him? Ugh…”

After stomping her feet out of anger, Nangong Qing looked at Ling Xiao disappointingly.

As soon as she had left her isolated cultivation, she rushed here upon hearing that he was heading to Nine Suns Peak. She wanted to stop him from acting impulsively.

However, she was still too late.

“You’ve already crippled him of his cultivation, why do you have to kill him? Grand Supreme Elder Lin Shan will be out of isolated cultivation three days later. If he knows that you’ve killed Lin Haoyu, he won’t let you go! Oh, why do you have to be so impetuous?”

She was exasperated at his actions.

“What’s the difference between crippling him of his cultivation and killing him? Do you think Lin Shan won’t come after me if I spare him? I don’t like troubles, so I might as well get rid of the trouble!” Ling Xiao sneered.

“But you… Ah, there’s no room to save the situation now! I’ll go look for Father to see if there’s a way to solve this. You better behave well!”

Nangong Qing glared at him before she left in a hurry.

On the other hand, Ling Xiao rubbed his nose and thought to himself, ‘Something feels off?

‘This chick was going to kill me back at Ferocious Beast Mountain Range, why is she acting differently now?’

He shook his head, then took Ling Haoyu’s Blue Ice Sword, his chainmail, and his storage pouch. After that, he grabbed Ling Kun and swaggered out of Nine Suns Peak to return to Jin Se Pavilion.

Out of fear, the Nine Suns Peak disciples kept quiet such that nobody had dared to stop Ling Xiao.

They dispersed in an uproar once he left.

Jin Se Pavilion.

Liu Chuanxiong, Gu Zhong, and Wang Han had cleaned up and made necessary repairs to the pavilion, thus the place was now livable.

After bringing Xue Wei back to the pavilion, Liu Piaopiao fed her some healing spiritual pills.

“How’s Xue Wei?”

Ling Xiao cast Ling Kun aside once he returned to Jin Se Pavilion before he asked Liu Piaopiao.

“She’s alright, those are all external wounds. She has slept after taking some healing spiritual pills. Lin Haoyu…” Liu Piaopiao, who took pity on Xue Wei, replied softly.

“I’ve killed him!” Ling Xiao answered.

“Nice! A scoundrel like him deserves to die!” Liu Piaopiao commented as she hated Lin Haoyu very much.

“What?! Saint, you killed Lin Haoyu?”

Liu Chuanxiong, Gu Zhong, and Wang Han were extremely shocked when they heard Ling Xiao’s reply.

“Saint, I can’t believe that your combat ability is so terrifying that you could kill Lin Haoyu! That being said, you’re in deep trouble now! Great Supreme Elder Lin Shan’s the number one master in Longevity Sect, he won’t let this pass once he finds out about this!” Liu Chuanxiong said with concern.
