Free Web NovelChapter 2604: Chapter 2607: Threat: A Man Like a Poisonous Snake
"Doomed? Haha, Hong Minger, I think you’ve misunderstood the crux of the matter!"
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Perhaps in your eyes, my value is incomparable to this woman’s family. In front of her, I’m like an ant, insignificant and even open to insult and torment.
Not allowed to fight back, not allowed to resist.
Even if I’m killed, I must still smile in gratitude.
Sorry, I’m not that lowly!
Even if I do nothing, the end result is still humiliation, even death.
But if I slap her, it brings me joy.
The worst outcome is still just being tortured to death.
So, may I ask, how should I choose, Hong Minger, oh great strategist?"
"But have you ever thought that if you don’t resist, maybe only you will die? Once you resist, all your family and friends will be in danger!
Can you bear such a cost?"
Hong Minger asked.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao’s face suddenly turned vicious and sinister.
He coldly looked at the young woman and said, "So you’re saying I can only choose to die myself, or have my whole family die with me, is that correct?"
"That’s right, now you know how formidable we are, don’t you?"
The young woman, perhaps aware of the powerful backing behind her, although her face was deformed from the slap, gathered the courage to shout at Ling Xiao again.
"Haha, hahaha."
Ling Xiao suddenly burst into laughter, "Listen here, little girl, no matter which family you belong to, I can guarantee that before you harm my family, I will let you taste the pain of losing everything.
Especially you!
No matter what your family intends to do to my friends, once I detect even a hint of such intent, I promise you will disappear from this world!"
"I can guarantee that no matter what price I have to pay, at the very least, before that price falls upon me, I can make sure she pays first."
The vicious and ruthless words caused everyone to tremble violently in their hearts.
What a terrifying youth.
It turns out he was already prepared to burn everything down before taking action.
Although the girl’s family is powerful, there are certainly more than one or two people in the family who aren’t as capable as this young man, but indeed many.
There are even ordinary people.
If this young man really goes mad.
Not to mention that the girl might die, but perhaps the family might also suffer heavy casualties.
For such a large family, it’s not worth it.
To exchange likely thousands of noble lives for a few ants is truly not worth it.
Threats!
This is a blatant threat!
Even the royal family might not want to provoke such a madman. Like a poisonous snake, if you can’t kill it with one strike, you’ll face endless revenge.
The thought is terrifying.
Hong Minger frowned tightly.
She began to wonder if it was truly worth offending Ling Xiao for this girl.
This Ling Xiao is truly too calm.
Calm as if everything is within his control.
How could this be?
Could it be that this guy really has some backup plan?
Thinking carefully, while investigating Ling Xiao’s identity, there are still many doubts that haven’t been clarified.
"You dare threaten me, dare threaten my family?"
The young woman clearly understood Ling Xiao’s meaning. She rubbed her bruised face and asked incredulously.
"It seems you’re not entirely beyond saving!
Yes, I’m threatening you, so what?"
Ling Xiao coldly looked at the girl.
In his view, it’s a miracle this girl has lived this long.
Such stupidity and arrogance, no matter how strong your backing, you’ll eventually meet your match.
Even if you don’t encounter Ling Xiao, you’ll meet someone else.
In the world of martial arts, there is never a shortage of madmen.
Even if this girl comes from an external family, there are still enemies like the Sky Demon Sect opposing the true royal clans.
Those people dare to take action against even princes, let alone a mere foolish girl.
"Maybe you’re so arrogant now simply because you don’t know how strong this child’s family is.
If you knew, you’d probably be on your knees begging for mercy."
Hong Minger felt a bit indignant, perhaps having grown accustomed to controlling others, and suddenly encountering someone who doesn’t follow her pattern left her feeling a bit out of control.
She wanted to see Ling Xiao ask for her help.
Kneeling before her to beg for help.
That way, her master, the Wise and Virtuous King, could better control Ling Xiao.
"Haha, I really don’t know, what kind of expert could a small Chen Dynasty have that could scare me into kneeling and begging for mercy?"
Ling Xiao sneered with disdain.
Hong Minger looked into Ling Xiao’s eyes and said, "Her father is a martial artist at the First Transformation Yin Yang Realm - Ninth Layer Hell Peak Level!
And her cousin, the Fourteenth Prince, his strength is unfathomable!
No one knows his true cultivation level, but it is known that he can easily kill a martial artist at the First Transformation Yin Yang Realm - Ninth Layer Hell Peak Level!"
Hong Minger hoped to see fear in Ling Xiao’s eyes.
The young woman also wished to see Ling Xiao’s panicked look of begging for mercy.
This way, she could mercilessly return those ten slaps to this guy.
However, much to their disappointment.
Neither Hong Minger nor the young woman saw even a trace of fear in Ling Xiao’s demeanor.
What they heard instead was Ling Xiao’s disdainful sneer.
"That’s it?"
Ling Xiao disdainfully said, "I thought they were some extraordinary experts. I wonder if I reveal my teacher’s identity and power, would you guys faint from shock?"
"Your teacher?"
Hong Minger frowned slightly, almost forgetting that there was a rumor in Eight Immortals County City about Ling Xiao having a powerful mentor who could easily destroy the entire Eight Immortals Mountain.
But during the investigation, no such person was found, so she paid it no mind.
Now that Ling Xiao brought it up, it made her frown even more.
"Indeed, this guy has always been casual in his actions and never submits to others. It seems it’s not recklessness, but because he has confidence!"
Hong Minger began to worry that she might have messed up the Wise and Virtuous King’s plans.
It’s important to know that today she was merely carrying out the Wise and Virtuous King’s orders to meet Ling Xiao, but she took it upon herself to help that girl.
If something truly went wrong, she could hardly account for it to the Wise and Virtuous King.
"What kind of respectable teacher could you, a country bumpkin, have?"
The girl asked disdainfully.
"My teacher is from the Golden Heaven! Her cultivation level makes destroying a tiny Chen Dynasty as easy as pie!
Otherwise, what do you think a mere country bumpkin like me would have such excellent cultivation? Such remarkable talent?
All of it was given by my teacher."
Ling Xiao’s words explained his abnormal talent and cultivation level.
It didn’t matter if others believed it or not; it was just an excuse.
"Nonsense, how could Golden Heaven have anything to do with a lowly person like you!"
The girl shouted angrily.
