Chapter 559: Chapter 362: Then Let’s Kill

Silence.

This time, the silence was absolute. Even the two Sword Emperors by Wang Yu’s side stood there, dumbfounded, their mouths hanging slightly open in bewilderment. They were utterly shocked. ’What the hell is going on?’

Meanwhile, all the teachers and students of Nia Academy were completely stupefied!

Six girls—four of whom were considered the top beauties of the entire Nia Academy, with the other two also being delicate, charming, and exceptionally beautiful. And all of them had just appeared together at one man’s side!

Everyone stood there in a daze, sensing the joy of a long-awaited reunion between the six women and the one man. Their minds had all gone completely blank.

"HAHAHAHA!"

Suddenly, a long peal of laughter echoed from high in the distant sky, jolting everyone from their stupor. A voice drifted from afar, "As expected of the Sect Leader of the Shushan Sword Sect, the prodigy of the younger generation. Quite the romantic character, Ling Xiao. HAHA, HAHAHA, so you finally lost your patience. If you hadn’t come here, rounding all of you up would have actually taken some effort!"

The voice was young and arrogant. But at that moment, everyone at Nia Academy snapped back to their senses. They realized that a man who could be so openly intimate with six of the academy’s peerless beauties couldn’t possibly be a simple character. Moreover, after seeing Ye Wen Ni send a Sword Emperor Realm expert flying with a single, clean strike, they knew that today’s mess was far beyond what they could handle.

Many of the male students who had once admired these six women now found they couldn’t even muster a sense of jealousy. They couldn’t help but smile bitterly to themselves. ’The women I like... just what kind of people are they?!’

There were likely quite a few people thinking the same thing right now.

The six women were all very intelligent. They knew Ling Xiao’s sudden appearance wasn’t as simple as just coming to take them home. They were already aware that many things had happened back home. Hearing the voice from the sky so abruptly, all six of them were startled. The higher their cultivation level, the more clearly they could sense the immense power of the newcomer.

Ling Xiao saw the worry on their faces and said with a light chuckle, "Don’t be afraid. Stay down here. Anyone who tries to take advantage of the situation and lay a hand on you... kill them without mercy!"

Ling Xiao’s figure shot into the sky, coming face-to-face with Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Hong, who were just flying over.

Ouyang Yu looked at Ling Xiao with a triumphant expression, then glanced down. Even from several hundred meters away, his sharp eyes could easily spot the six women standing out from the crowd like cranes among chickens. Each one was a peerless beauty. His eyes narrowed, and he cursed inwardly, ’Have all the beautiful women in the world gathered in your hands, Ling Xiao? How are all the women around you such stunners!’

In reality, there were certainly other women in the crowd just as beautiful as Ye Zi and the others, but there was no one at all within a several-dozen-meter radius of the six women, making them naturally stand out.

Ouyang Yu felt victory was already in his grasp. Although Ling Xiao’s strength gave him some pause, he was far more wary of Ling Xiao’s mystical Arrays.

They were capable of trapping and killing even a Sword Venerable. Although Ouyang Yu was unconvinced in his heart, he didn’t dare test them himself. But facing Ling Xiao directly was different. He knew Ling Xiao’s personal strength was also formidable, perhaps even monstrously so.

The thing was, right now, Ouyang Yu had Ouyang Hong as his backup.

A Tier Four Sword Venerable and a Tier Five Sword Venerable joining forces... if they still couldn’t defeat this Ling Xiao, then they might as well just go die.

A faint smile played on Ouyang Yu’s lips as he said to Ling Xiao, "Ling Xiao, I won’t waste words with you. Hand over your Arrays, Alchemy Skill, Cultivation Technique, sword techniques, and all your women. I swear on my clan’s honor that I will spare your life! How about it? I’m quite merciful, wouldn’t you say? Anyone else would have surely killed you to silence you! I’m only after riches, not your life."

"But I want to kill you," Ling Xiao replied, his gaze icy. ’Killing people... might not be the best way to solve problems, especially when my opponent has the status of a Guardian.’ Ling Xiao wasn’t arrogant enough to think he was invincible. The Ouyang Clan’s power clearly surpassed that of any family he had known before. Combined with what Sikong Yang had said, the Guardians had always maintained contact with the Holy Sanctuary. That meant the Ouyang Clan might also possess considerable influence within the Holy Sanctuary.

But by the same token, Ling Xiao would never yield to anyone’s threats.

The indomitable spirit of a Shushan Sword Cultivator—one that would rather break than bend—would not diminish in the slightest, even after a thousand lifetimes and countless reincarnations.

Besides, his opponent dared to covet his women.

If he couldn’t even protect the people by his side, what was the point of pursuing eternal life? And even if he achieved it, what good would it be?

"HAHAHA!" Ouyang Hong burst out laughing as if he had just heard the most incredible joke, laughing so hard that tears nearly streamed down his face. He said sarcastically, "Ling Xiao, I truly don’t know how you’ve managed to live this long. Can’t you even tell the difference between reality and fantasy? Is your brain filled with paste? HAHAHAHA, how can you say something so idiotic? Our young master has a virtuous heart and wants to offer you a way out, yet you refuse to take it? Are you counting on your sworn brothers, the Gongsun Family? Let me tell you the truth, in our eyes, the Gongsun Family is as insignificant as an ant. Crushing them would be as easy as squashing one!"

"Young Master... will he be alright?" Qiuyue asked, looking up at the three figures facing off in the sky with worry in her eyes.

"Of course not! When has the Young Master ever let us down?" Chunlan said with a determined expression, still savoring the feeling of Ling Xiao’s earlier embrace. The happiness that filled her heart was a sensation no one else could possibly understand.
