Free Web NovelChapter 2601: Chapter 2604: Forceful Counterattack, No Compromise!
Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully and casually raised his hand as the snake stinger previously held by his chopsticks suddenly flew out.
Dealing with such trash, he didn’t even bother using martial skills.
The opponent’s snake stinger was already enough.
That snake stinger suddenly released a powerful surge of energy in midair, completely stopping the ten snake stingers from that young woman.
And shattered them.
Then, the snake stinger continued to shoot forward unstoppably.
At that moment, the young woman was terrified, her face losing all color.
Just then, the Guard Captain who was directly blasted out of the restaurant by Ling Xiao before suddenly rushed up from the stairs.
Brandishing his war saber, he attempted to block the snake stinger.
"Know your limits! I spared your life yet you didn’t leave, so don’t blame me!"
Ling Xiao sneered.
The strength of this Guard Captain was also not weak, even stronger than that of the young woman, having reached the cultivation of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Eighth Layer Hell Late Stage.
But what does that matter?
Ling Xiao, who had already achieved great breakthroughs in the Mysterious Valley, regarded this man as laughable as a clown.
"Miss, fear not, I am here!"
He rushed out confidently, aiming only to block the snake stinger released by Ling Xiao.
However, the snake stinger shattered the war saber in his hand and viciously pierced into his body.
The poison was instantly released.
He fell on the ground, shivering and convulsing in terror.
The young woman hurriedly fed the Guard Captain an antidote, but unfortunately, the Guard Captain still died.
The poison modified by Ling Xiao isn’t that easily neutralized.
Though the Guard Captain’s death wasn’t entirely in vain.
By this time, dozens of young experts had entered the restaurant.
These individuals were approximately seventeen or eighteen years old, but each was quite formidable, possessing cultivation in the First Stage Yin-Yang Realm, Eighth Layer Hell.
Were they placed in Eight Immortals County City, they would be far stronger than the three major Sect Leaders.
The Imperial Capital, truly lives up to its reputation as a gathering place for talents.
These people surrounded the young woman, clearly acting as her admirers or guards.
At this moment, the young woman hid among the crowd, her face contorting with rage.
"You dare attack me? Do you know who I am?"
She roared, like a tigress whose food was stolen.
"I don’t care who you are!"
Ling Xiao suddenly stood up, his terrifying killing intent spreading throughout the restaurant.
This powerful murderous aura made many onlookers change their expression dramatically.
They initially thought Ling Xiao claimed to be a guest of the Crown Prince Wise King just out of arrogance.
But now, they believed this young man’s words.
His strength is truly fearsome.
"No matter who you are or how ugly, if you can attack me, then I can attack you!"
Although the woman’s words sounded ridiculous, she could attack others, harm others, humiliate others.
Yet others were forbidden to resist or retaliate.
This seemed unreasonable.
But Ling Xiao, having experienced much, understood that this isn’t ridiculous; it’s quite rational.
In the Imperial Capital, there exists such a group of people, high-ranking and noble, who often kill, torture, and demean others.
They break the law at will but are never punished.
Because this is the law of the Mysterious World—survival of the fittest.
They may not be mighty, but their families are sufficiently powerful!
Unless you possess the capability to overturn everything, even if they bully you, you must endure it.
But Ling Xiao happens to be someone who refuses to accept such fate.
He cannot be attacked or insulted by others and tolerate it.
He is Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, aspiring to unify the Profound Realm.
He cannot yield before a vicious, ugly woman.
Those guarding the young woman glared fiercely at Ling Xiao, as though he committed an unforgivable crime.
But they simultaneously exercised great caution.
Because Ling Xiao’s strike just now has shown part of his power, coupled with the powerful killing intent, they can’t help but be careful.
"In the Imperial Capital, no one dares call me ugly!"
Right now, kneel before me, clean my shoes with your tongue, and then swear allegiance to the Fourteenth Prince.
I can give you a chance to become my slave, to serve by my side!
The fear on the young woman’s face gradually faded, perhaps considering the number of people, her arrogant expression reappeared on her face.
She must teach this arrogant young man a lesson; she had never been offended like this within the Imperial Capital.
This was a first.
"The arrogance of a frog at the bottom of the well is due to never seeing the real sky."
Ling Xiao sneered, then walked toward the young woman coldly, saying, "I also offer you a chance.
Kneel down, slap your own face ten times, then you can crawl away.
I won’t kill you; it’s a courtesy to the Fourteenth Prince, but tomorrow he shouldn’t overdo it."
A disdainful smile hung on his face.
He believes the world always respects strength.
No matter how noble this young woman’s status is, without power, daring to cause trouble with him, she’s just a frog at the bottom of the well, courting death.
"What did you say?"
The young woman seemed not to comprehend Ling Xiao’s words, her body trembling violently.
No one had ever dared to speak to her like this, ever.
Ling Xiao didn’t want to waste words; he pointed at the young woman with his hand as a sword, and terrifying sword qi immediately shot skyward.
The roof of the restaurant couldn’t block it.
In the Dark Shadow Martial Arts, the worst move—Sword Chime Yinsan—was unleashed by him.
This is merely Jade Level High-Grade Martial Technique, albeit the finest amongst them.
Yet it drew the ridicule of the admirers.
"Using Jade Level High-Grade Martial Techniques to show off? Absolutely laughable!"
A total of eight admirers, competing for the credit of defeating Ling Xiao, collectively activated their inner strength, attacking Ling Xiao.
A scornful smile hung on Ling Xiao’s face.
Lin Ruoxian, Yue Shang, and Yue Fanghua didn’t have the intention to help.
While the onlookers in the restaurant were all surprised.
"Such a proud young man, retaliating upon humiliation, refusing to compromise or yield!"
"Hmph, proud? I think foolish, he dared act without knowing the identity, seeking death!"
"That’s not certain, do you know this young man’s background? What if he truly is the Crown Prince Wise King’s guest?
The Crown Prince Wise King isn’t inferior to the War Proximity King."
"But the young man’s martial skills seem too poor, surely hailing from a small place."
As the crowd debated, Ling Xiao had already confronted those eight admirers.
"Get lost!"
Sword light erupted suddenly.
Alexander Yin Mountain appeared.
The peaks of Alexander Yin Mountain, like terrifying sword qi, pierced the joint defense of the eight admirers.
The power was immense, overwhelming.
"Boom!"
The eight figures simultaneously flew out, falling onto the streets outside the restaurant.
All eight were injured by the sword qi, bloodied, and clearly unable to fight anymore.
This scene left everyone astonished.
