At the summit of Mount Sunset today, the system notification sounds in Ling Xiao's ears had never ceased.
The Luck Points on Lin Xi's body had dwindled to a mere few hundred.
With just a little more effort,this ancient hall within the ruins would become his burial ground today.
Sigh.
Of all people to step on,why did it have to be me?
But according to Ling Xiao's thinking,his identity as a villain destined him to be targeted by waves of Sons of Destiny.
After all,that was the setup. In which storyline does the Son of Destiny step on a random passerby instead of the villain?
"Hey, you, walking over there, come here and let me step on you."
"Screw you!"
"I'm just an extra who lived less than five seconds in the book. Do you get any satisfaction from stepping on me?"
So,there was no need to wonder why all the Sons of Destiny had conflicts with Ling Xiao.
Are you kidding? I am the greatest villain across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Four Seas and Eight Deserts!
It was even possible that somewhere in this vast universe,a Son of Destiny was currently using a system to search for the sons of villains, crushing them and plundering their luck.
After all,the great thousand worlds were boundless and endless.
Beyond the world,there was the starry sky.
If Ling Xiao could transmigrate,perhaps others could too.
Achoo!
Fu Yunyao and the others,following Ling Xiao's instructions, had already headed in the opposite direction.
There were indeed heaven-defying opportunities in this great hall,but what did that have to do with these ordinary disciples?
In this small ruin alone,there was currently one Son of Destiny and one Daughter of Destiny.
There was only one ultimate opportunity;who would it ultimately fall to?
Of course,it would land in the hands of Ling Xiao, the great villain.
Use your brains, will you? I am the protagonist!! The protagonist!! The protagonist!!!
"Hummm!"
A strange fluctuation suddenly came from the great hall in the distance.
Ling Xiao's eyes narrowed,and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
"Is your Cloud Millet Immortal Sect too overbearing? This spirit tree has seven melons; why do you have to monopolize them all?"
"Exactly!There are more of us. If it really comes to a fight, we might not lose!"
"We saw this spirit tree first!Why should you get to claim it just because you say so?"
"Too overbearing!Is this how supreme orthodoxies act?"
A group of sect disciples wearing robes of various colors stood in a side hall, glaring angrily at several immortal sect disciples in white robes standing directly ahead.
In the very center of the side hall,an ancient tree burning with flames emitted a dazzling radiance.
Seven spiritual melons hung from it,exuding a subtle fragrance and faintly dispersing fire energy.
"Hehehe, what you all say is correct..."
"Supreme orthodoxies...are just this overbearing!! If you had the strength, you could do as you please too! If you have the guts, come and hit me!!" Ma Liang stood before the crowd, holding a spirit brush. The remaining immortal sect disciples beside him also looked at the crowd with mockery in their eyes.
Xu Youwei,meanwhile, stood with a gloomy face in front of the ancient tree, his Breakthrough Realm aura rolling off him turbulently.
Ever since the day he was humiliated by Ling Xiao on the street,he had become deeply sullen.
Now,looking at this crowd of clamoring ancient sect disciples, the urge to kill within him was almost uncontrollable!
They couldn't afford to provoke Ling Xiao.
But you bunch of rotten fish and shrimps dare to chatter in front of me?!
"Thud!"
But the moment Ma Liang's voice fell,a white-robed figure suddenly descended from above, delivering a fierce kick that sent him flying.
With Ma Liang's peak Xuan Qing realm cultivation,he had no chance to resist under this kick.
No!
Even Xu Youwei only saw a blur like a fleeting shadow pass by.
The next moment,Ma Liang's figure had vanished from the spot.
"Boom!"
"Ah!!"A miserable scream came from the distance, and then everything returned to calm.
"Having lived this long, it's the first time I've heard such a strange request. 'Hit me'? Why aren't any of you satisfying him?" Ling Xiao frowned, looking at the crowd of sect disciples with a puzzled tone.
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, looks of embarrassment flashed across the disciples' faces.
Young Master, it's not that we don't want to satisfy him, it's just that... our strength isn't sufficient.
But that kick was seriously cool.
"Oh, just now you said whoever has the strength gets the opportunity. I think you make a very good point. Senior Brother Xu, you don't mind if I take these spirit fruits, do you?" Ling Xiao smiled faintly, thunder intent erupting violently around him.
It was like divine punishment descending,intimidating all hearts.
The entire side hall instantly fell into dead silence.
Everyone looked at Xu Youwei,whose face kept changing colors, their eyes carrying a faint trace of mockery.
Show off now, why aren't you showing off now?
"Heh... hehehe, Young Master Ling Xiao, what are you saying? The opportunities under heaven naturally belong to those with strength." Xu Youwei swallowed hard. Never mind that Ling Xiao was using Dao Principle power; even without it, he wouldn't have the slightest courage to resist.
Back in Sunset City,his Dao Heart had been shattered by this Ling Clan heir.
Now,looking at him again, he only felt his heart racing, torn between the desire to live and the urge to die!
"What about the rest of you? Any objections?" Ling Xiao snapped his fingers. Above his head, a wheel of thunder sun suddenly materialized.
The violent power contained within it seemed capable of shattering the heavens.
A young master peerless in the world!
Probably,if anyone dared utter half a word of refusal, they would instantly be smashed to dust by that thunder sun.
With a snap of his fingers, enemy fleets would vanish into smoke and ashes!
But...
I can snap my fingers.
What's'strong rubbing'?
"It seems no one has any objections. Then I'll reluctantly accept them." Ling Xiao nodded with a smile and reached out to pluck the fruits from the spirit tree one by one.
When he picked the third one,he even tossed it directly into his mouth.
Munch, munch.
In the deathly quiet atmosphere,the sound of Ling Xiao munching was exceptionally clear.
Everyone watched the composed Ling Clan heir.Although they felt hatred in their hearts... they just didn't dare move.
"Not bad, really quite sweet. Here, you try some too." Ling Xiao casually plucked a spirit fruit and tossed it into the crowd. Then he turned his gaze to Xu Youwei.
The latter instantly tensed up completely,the Breakthrough Realm aura around him showing signs of collapsing.
"Senior Brother Xu,until we meet again!"
Just kidding. Spiritual melons and fruits like these naturally didn't catch Ling Xiao's eye.
What he cared about was,of course, the Villain Points contributed by these extras.
Killing them all in one go would be easy for Ling Xiao.
But where would he get Villain Points then?
Plunder them from the air?
Where there are people,there are human hearts.
The human heart is a mysterious thing.
It can bend or stretch,be hard or soft, righteous at times and dark at others.
And these were the very source of Ling Xiao's strength!
Gulp!
"This spirit melon is mine!!"
"It's mine!!"
Angry shouts instantly erupted from behind,followed immediately by the sounds of spiritual energy colliding.
Sigh. The human heart is always greedy.
A delightful sound quietly echoed in Ling Xiao's mind,"Ding. Host's actions align with villainous conduct. Villain Points increased by 2000."
