Chapter 2822 - 2826: Arrogant, Overbearing, Above All

The young man was desperately defending himself.

But anyone could see that the young man could never be a match for this so-called Genius Nemesis. As long as he took that blow head-on, even if he didn’t die, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Those who supported Yun Zhonɡ Fen just watched coldly, waiting to see a joke.

Yet right at that moment—

"Whoosh!"

The sharp sound of a blade tearing through the air suddenly rang out. One of the Genius Nemesis’s arms had already been cut off at the root, exposing a horrifying stump of flesh.

The Genius Nemesis let out a terrified screech: "Who! Which bastard made a move?"

"Me!"

From the sky came Ling Xiao’s domineering, icy voice.

"Today, whoever dares say even half a word of disrespect to me, this old thing will be your example."

Ling Xiao was basically using his own way to repay them in their own way. Yun Lan had just said whoever dared support him would be exterminated.

Yet Ling Xiao said whoever dared disrespect him would end up just like this Genius Nemesis.

Looking at that blood-drenched severed arm, it was obviously far more intimidating than Yun Lan’s earlier words.

Yun Lan was shocked. The instant Ling Xiao made his move just now, he had actually thought about launching a sneak attack.

But in the end, he gave up.

Because that guy Ling Xiao not only moved insanely fast, he actually didn’t show a single opening, leaving Yun Lan with nowhere to strike.

All he could do was stare blankly as Ling Xiao chopped off the Genius Nemesis’s arm.

But now he finally had a gap and stepped in front of Ling Xiao, saying coldly, "You’re courting death!"

"Get lost!"

Ling Xiao looked at Yun Lan with indifference.

Though Yun Lan’s cultivation level was stronger than his, to be honest, at this point Ling Xiao didn’t consider Yun Lan a real opponent at all.

If they truly started fighting, it wouldn’t take three moves for him to claim Yun Lan’s life.

But his purpose in coming here today wasn’t just to kill people. More importantly, it was to crush the arrogant momentum of Yun Zhonɡ Fen’s faction.

Staring at Ling Xiao hanging in the sky, that young man’s gaze instantly turned incomparably fiery.

Ling Xiao truly lived up to his name—way too fierce, and way too domineering!

Truly worthy of being his idol, the person he worshipped.

"Young Nobility Cloud, please move aside, I’m going to kill him! I’ll kill him!"

The blood on the Genius Nemesis’s arm had already stopped. Hatred completely blinded his eyes.

He thought that what happened just now was merely because he’d underestimated his opponent.

If he took it seriously enough, he was sure he could still kill Ling Xiao.

He was sure of it!

Yun Lan thought it over, and actually moved aside.

He wasn’t very clear on Ling Xiao’s true strength. If this Genius Nemesis was willing to help him probe a bit, he didn’t mind at all.

"Many thanks!"

The Genius Nemesis’s long robe fluttered without wind.

His terrifying killing intent swelled once again.

Though he’d lost a right arm, for Yin Yang Realm Martial Artists, that wasn’t a big deal.

From his right shoulder down, he actually used inner strength and elements to condense an arm made of pure element.

It wasn’t as good-looking as a real arm, but it worked just fine.

Whoosh!

Like an arrow loosed from the string, he suddenly sprang up from the ground, shooting toward Ling Xiao.

His terrifying aura rubbed against the air, producing a piercing sound that made this deep night feel even more unusual.

"Die!"

His furious roar echoed through the night, startling countless owls into flight.

The very next instant.

Blood scattered through the night sky like a rain of blossoms.

Under the lantern light, it was gorgeously bright, yet brutally savage.

The one who died was naturally not Ling Xiao.

The Genius Nemesis, consumed by violent anger, was shattered to pieces by one palm strike from Ling Xiao across the air.

His corpse broke apart, fragments raining down to the ground—a horrifying sight.

"A piece of trash, and you dare call yourself the Genius Nemesis! Pathetic! Laughable!

If you hadn’t attacked me, you’d have gotten off with just a broken arm.

Now that you’re dead, blame yourself for being too full of yourself!"

Ling Xiao’s gaze returned to Yun Lan. He spoke in a tone of pure provocation: "The one who supported you is already dead. Looks like you’re not up to much."

Arrogant, domineering, treating everyone as if they were nothing!

Ling Xiao stood there, looking at Yun Lan with cold indifference, his eyes dripping with mockery.

"Yun Lan, you’re shameless not just toward your enemies, but just as shameless toward your own people.

You knew perfectly well he wasn’t my match, and yet you still pushed him out there to die for you!

Heh, really chilling, isn’t it?"

Ling Xiao was deliberately shaking their morale.

And he was also telling the truth.

Anyone with half a brain could see that Yun Lan had just said he was going to kill Ling Xiao, but kept stalling without making a move, clearly wary of Ling Xiao.

This showed that Ling Xiao’s strength probably wasn’t much weaker than Yun Lan’s.

That Genius Nemesis might not be weak, but compared to Yun Lan, he was far behind.

Yun Lan still let him go deal with Ling Xiao—if that wasn’t sending him to his death, what was?

Many people who had originally supported Yun Lan lowered their heads, faces turning a bit pale.

Fortunately, they hadn’t been the ones to step up. Otherwise, not only would they have died, they would have died extremely unjustly.

"You’re spouting complete nonsense!"

Yun Lan’s expression turned stiff, because Ling Xiao had hit his thoughts right on the nose, leaving him nothing to refute.

"Heh, I’m spouting nonsense?"

Ling Xiao sneered and said, "Yun Lan, you and I already crossed blows in the Devil Sea Secret Realm. With your eyesight, there’s no way you couldn’t judge my strength.

Are you seriously going to tell me your eyes suddenly went blind, that you didn’t know he’d be killed the moment he made a move on me?"

Yun Lan didn’t reply, because no matter how he tried to justify himself, he would only sink into deeper contradictions.

So he simply chose not to speak.

"Come then, Demon Dragon Sect’s number one genius! I want to see whether you’re worthy of that glory!"

Ling Xiao crooked a finger at Yun Lan.

He’d already said everything that needed saying. Next, what he had to do was, right under Yun Zhonɡ Fen’s nose, ruthlessly smash these bastards’ arrogance, so they would understand exactly what kind of consequence it was to offend Ling Xiao!

"Deputy Sect Master, this brat is insanely arrogant. There’s no need to talk to him about any Jianghu codes of honor. Why don’t we all go up together, kill him, and see how arrogant he can still be then!"

One Branch Hall Master really couldn’t stand it anymore. With Ling Xiao rampaging around here like this, his anger was practically burning him alive.

"Heh, any of you who aren’t convinced can step out and fight Ling Xiao one-on-one!

But remember, in today’s battle, there is no ’victory’ or ’defeat’—only life and death!

If you don’t have the guts, then clamp your mouths shut and stop farting nonsense, making idiots out of yourselves!"

Ling Xiao—he was actually provoking all the Martial Artists of Yun Zhonɡ Fen’s faction alone.

狂!

Too狂!

The previously lively Deputy Sect Master’s residence instantly fell silent as the grave.

Everyone stared at Ling Xiao in shock. That "none but me" figure, that霸气狂妄 voice, shook them in a way they’d never felt before.

Is he stupid?

Is he crazy?

Or is he truly so strong that he can ignore Yun Zhonɡ Fen?

Ignore everyone, ignore everything?

All the Martial Artists of Yun Zhonɡ Fen’s faction looked ugly at this moment. Ling Xiao’s words weren’t just provocation—they were outright insult!

A trampling on their reputation.

Yet even so, aside from a few experts, most of them didn’t dare respond to Ling Xiao’s challenge.

A life-and-death battle—on that point, their brains were still clear.

Just from that single move where Ling Xiao killed the Genius Nemesis, it was obvious that this brat’s cultivation level had definitely already stepped into the First Transformation, Twelfth Layer of Hell.

And his combat strength was terrifyingly high!
