Domineering! Overbearing!
Absolute,brooking no defiance!
Indeed,this Ling Clan heir, this Demonic Sect Young Master, was exactly as the rumors described.
Ling Xiao descended from the sky, landing in front of Fu Yunyao. He gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. His white robe shimmered with starlight; he had the graceful bearing of an immortal, his spiritual charm seeming entirely natural. At that moment, the legs of many young women in Sunset City unconsciously tightened.
"Sorry I'm late, Senior Sister Fu."
"Young Master!!"Fu Yunyao felt like crying. She was so moved! The Young Master was the epitome of a gentle, noble scion, a pure stream in this murky world! Look, the Young Master's gaze was full of tender affection! The Young Master's smile was tinged with sorrow! At this moment, all the grievance and uncertainty in Fu Yunyao's heart vanished. All that remained was an impulse to entwine herself with the person before her unto death. A woman in love was peerlessly captivating. The gazes of everyone on the street unconsciously fell upon her.
But seeing this scene, Nian Qingyun's eyes instantly turned cold. An absolutely frigid aura radiated from her, startling all the guests in the teahouse, who rushed out into the street.
"What the hell?What's going on?"
"Don't know,I thought my wife had shown up!"
"Look at you,so pathetic. Your eyes were about to fall out staring at Miss Fu just now."
Youhave nerve? Wipe your drool first!"
"Oh ho?Let's start with that painting asshole over there." Ling Xiao smiled faintly, turning his gaze to Ma Liang. He could sense that Ma Liang's aura was extremely weak, clearly having just been in a fight. Today's incident was most likely started by him. Beat the junior disciple, the senior brother backs him up. The same old trope.
"You..." Ma Liang's face turned ashen, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. He couldn't even beat Fu Yunyao. Now that the Demonic Sect Young Master himself had arrived, he didn't have the slightest will to resist. All his previous bluster was just posturing to despise his opponent. Who knew Ling Xiao would actually come?! A Dao Principle prodigy, peerless immortal demeanor. These eight words weren't meant for just anyone. But barking like a dog... He, a true disciple of a supreme Immortal Sect, if he barked like a dog today in Sunset City... he wouldn't need anyone else to do it; his own Master would probably beat him into a retard upon returning to the sect.
Ma Liang clenched his fists, but reason told him to endure, wait, and stabilize. Senior Brother Xu, you go! You go! If you don't go and I don't go, who will uphold the glory of our Immortal Sect? Senior Brother Xu, GO!!
"Younger Brother Ling, aren't you being a bit too overbearing?" Sure enough, Xu Youwei snorted coldly and stepped in front of Ma Liang. He knew his background couldn't compare to Ling Xiao's. But when it came to cultivation, he was somewhat confident. Otherwise, the Young Master of their Yunshu Immortal Sect wouldn't be so respectful in his presence, always calling him 'Senior Brother Youwei'. Moreover, the greater Ling Xiao's fame, the more famous he, Xu Youwei, would become across the Sacred Province if he could crush him underfoot! Conflicts among peers were something clan experts never interfered with. As long as he, Xu Youwei, won fairly and squarely, neither the Myriad Demons Sect nor the Ling Clan would have the face to attack him! What did righteous path cultivators care about most? Reputation, of course.
In an instant, the hesitation on Xu Youwei's face vanished. A mere seventeen-year-old boy, so what if he's comprehended a Dao Principle? I, Xu Youwei, achieved the Dao at twenty, stepped into the Profound Void Realm. Now twenty-nine, my cultivation is nearing the mid-stage of Profound Void. How could I fear an ignorant youth like you?
"Overbearing? That's not quite right, Senior Brother Xu. I'm clearly bullying you pack of dogs. How is that 'overbearing'?" Ling Xiao smiled disdainfully. Currently, among the entire younger generation of the Sacred Province, no one could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him. This Xu Youwei wasn't even the Young Master of his Immortal Sect; what qualification did he have to boast before him?
"You're asking for death!" Hearing this, Xu Youwei could no longer suppress the fury in his heart. Green light flashed in his hand as his entire figure transformed into a startling streak of light, shooting furiously towards Ling Xiao.
Hum. Instantly, space hummed, and fierce winds arose. The might of the Profound Void Realm surged and rolled forth like a bursting dam, chilling everyone to the bone.
Up in the teahouse, Nian Qingyun's pretty face tightened. She instinctively felt a bit nervous. She had naturally witnessed Ling Xiao's strength firsthand. But the Profound Void Realm and the Profound Clear Realm were a watershed on the path of cultivation. Lin Xi's talent was monstrous, but he ultimately hadn't taken that step. And this Xu Youwei... although she hadn't heard his name, his aura was truly alarming.
"Reckless fool." Ling Xiao shook his head and took a light step forward.
Heaven and earth suddenly darkened. An ocean-like pressure instantly shattered the void, like stars falling, sun and moon reversing. Before Xu Youwei could even react, he felt a tremendous force wrap around his neck. Then, his body was held in Ling Xiao's hand like a dead dog.
Holy crap! Ruthless!
So cruel!!
Gulp. Sunset City fell into dead silence once again. Everyone stared at the Immortal Sect true disciple who had been so imposing moments before but was now captured by Ling Xiao in the blink of an eye. Their eyes were filled with profound shock. Ling Xiao had struck in a mere instant, without even emitting a trace of Dao Principle power from his body. Yet... a Profound Void prodigy had seemed to have no power to resist before him. Just how terrifying was his strength...?
Peerless Immortal Demeanor, crushing a generation! So this Ling Clan heir truly stood at a height they could only look up to, far beyond their reach.
"Senior Brother Xu, now... do you want to bark like a dog, or... do you want to die?" A smile played on Ling Xiao's lips. Compared to killing these Immortal Sect disciples, shattering their Dao Hearts was undoubtedly more cruel. A villain, of course, should be as underhanded as possible.
"You... don't even dream of it! Disciples of our Immortal Sect can be killed but not humiliated! Even if you slaughter all of us today... we will..."
"Woof!Woof woof woof woof!!"
"Woof woof woof woof woof woof!"
Before Xu Youwei could finish speaking,a series of urgent barks came from behind him. Ma Liang and the others had all knelt on the ground, tilting their heads back and barking with all their might. A few even let their tongues loll out, imitating the act perfectly.
Pfft! Xu Youwei spat out a mouthful of blood and actually fainted dead away in Ling Xiao's grip.
"You lot are quite sensible." Ling Xiao smiled faintly, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. He casually tossed Xu Youwei aside, turned, took Fu Yunyao's jade hand, and walked towards the end of the street. At that moment, the Demonic Sect disciples looked at Ling Xiao with nothing but boundless admiration. A peerless young master, the Young Master is the most... dazzling. If today's events spread, probably the entire Eastern Territory would once again be shaken by the Young Master's name.
To crush a Profound Void prodigy with one hand—what kind of combat prowess was that? What kind of fearsome might?
Peerless Immortal Demeanor—this was it!
But as Ling Xiao passed through the crowd, his expression stiffened slightly. In front of him, a young girl with delicate features was looking at him with worship in her eyes. Her youthful, pure white face held a hint of shyness. The girl wore a yellow robe, her figure graceful and upright. On her chest, a flame totem was faintly embroidered.
Hmm? Miss... you...
"Ling Xiao!!! You stop right there!!!" Just then, a clear shout came from the distant sky. Immediately after, a stunningly beautiful figure in white robes tore through the void, arriving swiftly. The ancient sword in her hand blazed with overwhelming divine light. With one strike, she slashed down fiercely towards Ling Xiao's head!!
