Chapter 2265 - 1204: The Victor Is King (Part 5)

"I damn..." Yang Xiao seemed to have been struck at a sore spot and suddenly shouted angrily, "Do you take me for someone like a trifling servant who serves three families? Who the hell has the right to be my adopted father?"

Before Yang Xiao could speak, the samurai puppet raised its hand and slapped Duan Jiqing’s head several times, causing his brain to buzz.

This guy is really shameless, he even wants to share an adopted father with me, which is simply an insult to Yang Xiao’s dignity.

As the samurai puppet was about to snap Duan Jiqing’s neck, Yang Xiao stopped him, and played with the hourglass in his hand.

"Speak, how do you use this thing, and what abilities does it have?" Yang Xiao interrogated, "Explain it clearly to me!"

But when it came to this hourglass, Duan Jiqing showed incredible resilience, no matter how he was questioned, he resisted to the death and said nothing.

This guy is smart too, he knows that if he talks, he’s dead, but if he keeps resisting, maybe there’s a slim chance of survival.

Actually, Yang Xiao had a way to make him speak, but time was pressing, those people outside were waiting for him, so he decided to let it go.

Anyway, he’s not afraid, with Elder Sheng’s Resentful Eye Atlas, even without this guy, he can still have a fairly good understanding.

Following Yang Xiao’s command, the samurai puppet slowly released Duan Jiqing, who was nearly out of breath, and Yang Xiao smiled as he asked, "Master Duan, do your words count? As long as I let you go, you’ll take your people and leave, never to return."

"I mean it, I absolutely... absolutely mean it, I swear by my adopted father!" Duan Jiqing’s speech was fast but his voice was muddled, the reason being that most of his teeth had been knocked out by the samurai puppet.

"Alright, then I can spare you, but..." Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes, "I have a small request."

"I’ll give you this thing, as long as you spare me, I can tell you how to use it, it’s an excellent treasure." Duan Jiqing’s eyes lit up, then he added, "But only after we leave here, when I’m completely safe."

With Duan Jiqing’s defeat, his space world could no longer be sustained, and now Yang Xiao’s Mirror World was in control here.

"I don’t want this thing, as long as you’re willing to lend me something, today’s incident will be considered a misunderstanding, and I promise I won’t trouble you in the future," Yang Xiao said generously.

"Except for a head, you...you can name any condition, and I absolutely won’t bargain," Duan Jiqing seemed to realize something and began to move his body backward.

"Sigh—" Yang Xiao sighed theatrically, drew the ring-headed saber with a backhand, and as he walked over, understandingly said to Duan Jiqing, "Master Duan, your words make it difficult for me, how about...you offer another condition? Let’s try to understand each other."

Seeing Yang Xiao’s determination to kill, Duan Jiqing shouted loudly, "Yang Xiao, if you kill me, my Bone Painting Tower won’t let you go, my adopted father is..."

"Splosh."

Accompanied by a muffled groan, Yang Xiao swung his saber swiftly, cleanly severing Duan Jiqing’s head, which flew seven or eight meters away, rolled twice on the ground, and finally stopped, the face covered with blood and mud coincidentally facing Yang Xiao, full of terror.

His mouth remained open as if he still had something to say.

Because Yang Xiao’s strike was too swift, after the head flew and landed, the headless corpse staggered twice, then crashed to the ground.

Yang Xiao stepped forward, stared at the grounded head that was not resting in peace, and coldly laughed, "Master Duan, I forgot to tell you, I also have an adopted father, my adopted father is the esoteric Priest Cannibal Buddha, how does it feel that your cheap adopted father is not enough?"

Without further hesitation, Yang Xiao immediately began to collect the spoils of war.

Although the battle process was rather brutal, the spoils were surprisingly plentiful, Yang Xiao recovered the Ghost Hourglass, Jade Ruyi, and even stripped off the golden silk long gown from Duan Jiqing’s corpse; these things are now all under the name Yang.

Unfortunately, that silver scalpel was never found; Yang Xiao guessed that it was when he shredded the opponent’s arm with the ring-headed saber, that the scalpel, along with the shredded flesh and bones, was all thrown into unknown space-time.

A bit of a pity, that was also an excellent magic artifact, a space-type magical artifact, capable of both offense and defense, if developed well, it might not be inferior to the Soul-Capturing Mirror.

Before leaving, Yang Xiao had one more thing to do, he took out an elixir and swallowed it, it was brought back from the Esoteric Sect, with excellent pain relief.

His right arm was injured, but he couldn’t let anyone see, after all, he not only needed to win but to win gloriously, to show the big shots at the General Bureau that Yang Xiao has value.

The final step, after a simple tidying up of his appearance, he inserted the saber’s blade into Duan Jiqing’s temple, skewering the head like a kebab.

Yang Xiao took a deep breath, and with a thought, reappeared outside in bright sunshine, and at the moment, with Yang Xiao’s appearance, the group led by Elder Sheng immediately became excited, their cries shook the sky.

The next second, Yang Xiao, holding Duan Jiqing’s head on the saber, kicked the head towards the Yiling Academy’s Sheng Jingxuan camp, and the next second, he roared out that illustrious saying.
