Chapter 2626: Xiao Jiu Is Taken Away

Listening to the voice, it seemed like Xuexue was behind him. Lin Kong, mad with anger, reacted without thinking, striking out with his palm without even looking.

"Boom...!"

A loud explosion emanated from the spot he hit.

Calming down and taking a closer look, it was empty once again; he hadn’t hit anyone, just air. Infuriated, he grabbed his hair with both hands, yelling, "Ah..! You’re driving me crazy, what kind of divine fighting style is this?"

He could hear the enemy’s voice, but couldn’t touch the enemy’s body.

Just as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, there was another embroidery needle stabbed into his chest.

He was angry, frightened, and infuriated. That damned girl Xuexue was too insidious. Who knew if she had coated the needles with poison?

As time dragged on, his martial power was beginning to fade.

Lin Kong wasn’t foolish. He knew that if he lost his martial power, death was the only outcome.

After several attacks, Long Rui and Xuexue vanished without a trace. Besides being angry, Lin Kong was deeply astonished. What kind of cultivation technique did they use? Or perhaps they were hiding some secret?

After considering it several times, Lin Kong also realized that the longer time dragged on, the more dangerous his situation became.

Glancing around, he saw Xiao Jiu squatting on the beam, eagerly watching them.

Fearing the poison on the needle in his chest, Lin Kong suddenly flew towards the beam...

Before anyone knew what was happening, Lin Kong had already tightly grasped Xiao Jiu in his hand.

"Ah, help, help, why did you catch me? Let me go right now," Xiao Jiu struggled constantly.

But its tiny body was too small, and no matter how hard it tried, it was in vain.

Xuexue shouted, "Lin Kong, what are you doing? Let it go now!"

Lin Kong held Xiao Jiu in one hand, gently stroking its feathers with the other, speaking softly, "I’ll release it if you hand over the Thousand Year Striped Tiger."

Xuexue played dumb, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Of course, the Little Tiger’s situation couldn’t be casually revealed. Otherwise, experts from The Four Kingdoms would come looking for trouble, and a peaceful life would be out of the question. It would mean living on the run every day. Just thinking about it was a headache, and Xuexue didn’t want that kind of life.

"Since the Princess Consort of War Prince doesn’t understand, I’ll take this Divine Bird with me first.

Lin Kong also knew that Xuexue wouldn’t easily hand over the Thousand Year Striped Tiger, but catching this little bird wasn’t bad either. It wasn’t an ordinary bird; it had the ability to identify treasures and might be able to collect a lot of wealth for Wei Country.

"Chirp chirp chirp...! Help, help, let me go now." Xiao Jiu never dreamed that just by watching a scene, it would be captured!

Lin Kong petted Xiao Jiu’s feathers while saying, "Good, don’t shout. From now on, this State Preceptor will give you delicious food every day. Don’t follow that terrible woman, Moli Country is about to fall. She won’t meet a good end."

With its body captured by Lin Kong, only Xiao Jiu’s bird head poked out as it defiantly cried out, "Villain, villain, you’re the one who won’t meet a good end! Let me go now, or you’ll regret it."

Lin Kong’s expression suddenly turned cold, "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I won’t snap your neck right now?"

Xiao Jiu’s little eyes darted around nervously, but it dared not speak again. What could it do? Under the eaves, it had to bow its head. It stayed silent, focusing on staying alive.

Unable to deal with Xuexue and Long Rui, Lin Kong prepared to run away while his martial power still lasted.

So, holding Xiao Jiu, his figure blurred as he jumped onto the roof of the hall.

Xuexue cried out, "Not good, he wants to escape! Stop him, quickly stop him!"
