Chapter 261: Chapter 261 The Might of Killing_1

Although the tasks assigned to the other new Outer Disciples were not as good as those few people’s, they still weren’t bad.

At the very least, their tasks were relatively normal; there was no intention to make things unnecessarily difficult, neither in terms of labor intensity nor complexity.

However, when it came to Ling Xiao, the situation suddenly changed.

Li Anle, with a scornful expression, glanced at Ling Xiao and then said, "Ling Xiao, your job is as a miner, responsible for helping the Equipment Hall gather iron ore. Every day you must complete at least ten thousand catties. Do you understand?"

Ten thousand catties!

Those familiar with the Moon Hua Sect’s iron mines knew that even the ordinary miners hired by the Outer Sect only had a daily quota of one thousand catties, yet Ling Xiao was given a quota of ten thousand catties, which was even more than what was given to Wu Xiang.

To complete a mining quota of five thousand catties, Wu Xiang had to work through the night and even neglected his cultivation time.

Ling Xiao’s ten thousand catties was purely a blatant act of bullying.

Many Outer Disciples who were on good terms with Ling Xiao felt sympathy for him in their hearts, but no matter how sympathetic they were, they dared not speak out.

Why would they target Ling Xiao?

Isn’t that obvious?

Ling Xiao had injured Tian Chao, and it was likely that someone was helping Tian Chao take revenge.

Their thinking was relatively simple. In fact, if it were only Tian Chao, Jin Ming, Yang Cheng, and Li Anle wouldn’t have crossed Ling Xiao so lightly.

But when the matter involved Hei Suo and the Demonflame Celestial, things were completely different.

Xu Ying looked at Ling Xiao, clearly very pleased. She absolutely despised Ling Xiao to the bone. Naturally, she was happy to see Ling Xiao assigned such a miserable task.

Under the gaze of others, some sympathetic and some schadenfreudic, Ling Xiao slowly spoke up, "I must report to the three Senior Brothers that, unfortunately, I cannot accept this job."

"You can’t accept it?"

Jin Ming, Yang Cheng, and Li Anle looked at each other, not with anger, but with pleasure.

Because refusing to accept an assigned job could be seen as a violation of the Moon Hua Sect’s rules, they could now make Ling Xiao suffer within the scope allowed by Sect regulations.

"Are you sure you don’t accept it?"

Li Anle, while walking towards Ling Xiao, asked with a smile.

"That’s right, I’m sure and definite!"

Ling Xiao nodded.

"The Sect has rules, those who do not comply with assignments are to be punished severely!"

Li Anle scoffed coldly and suddenly quickened his pace.

The so-called severe punishment had no specific standards, so whatever he wanted was completely up to him, as long as he didn’t beat someone to death or maim them.

Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm!

About ten meters away from Ling Xiao, Li Anle suddenly leaped into action.

His Body Movement Technique was indeed very good, and his speed was also incredibly fast.

Among the Outer Sect, in terms of Body Movement Technique alone, he could definitely be ranked in the top ten.

Jin Ming sat there without uttering a word, a cold smirk on his face.

A sinister look appeared on Yang Cheng’s face.

From a farther distance, Hei Suo showed a faint smile.

Xu Ying was so excited she almost shouted out loud; Li Anle’s strength was that of a Half-step Grandmaster, much stronger than Tian Chao.

She believed that Ling Xiao couldn’t possibly withstand Li Anle’s strike.

"Gold Grade Martial Arts? You look down on me that much?"

Ling Xiao realized that the technique Li Anle used against him was merely Gold Grade Martial Arts.

The Body Movement Technique was, however, beginner-level Gold Grade Martial Arts.

He sneered, as the Divine Prison King Fist had just advanced to a rare Gold Grade Martial Art. It was time to test its power on this Li Anle.

God Prison King Fist—Kill!

Ling Xiao didn’t dodge or evade, he just threw out a punch.

At that instant, Li Anle’s eyes were filled with flashes of red, as if countless lost souls and wild ghosts were swarming towards him, each spectral hand tipped with sharp claws.

A terrifying murderous aura caused his body, suspended in midair, to suddenly pause, almost becoming rigid.

"Scram!"

Ling Xiao bellowed furiously.

Li Anle’s body was already flying backward.

Then, one could see Li Anle’s pale complexion and his arms trembling uncontrollably.

"Ghosts! Demons!"

Li Anle cried out in terror.

His strength was much greater than Tian Chao’s, but unfortunately, Ling Xiao’s strength had also increased significantly. On top of that, in today’s battle, he had completely underestimated Ling Xiao, and as a result, this one punch left him devoid of fighting power.

Although his injuries did not seem very serious, the mental trauma was far more troublesome than the physical pain.

Witnessing this scene, Jin Ming and Yang Cheng both opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

They were aware of Li Anle’s strength; even if the two of them together tried, defeating Li Anle in one move would be impossible.

Ling Xiao’s combat prowess was indeed as terrifying as the rumors had suggested.

From a distance, Hei Suo was so angry that he smashed the teapot to pieces: "Idiot, I told you before that Ling Xiao’s combat skills are extremely horrifying, yet you still underestimated him!"

In his view, if Li Anle had not been so overconfident, he would never have suffered such a miserable defeat.

And indeed, that was what he had thought.

Alas, there were no ifs now.

"Ling Xiao, are you trying to rebel? Noncompliant with arrangements and hurting your senior brother, what exactly are you trying to achieve?"

Jin Ming said furiously.

"First of all, Senior Brother Jin, you need to understand one thing—I am not disobeying orders, but the Pharmacy Hall has already notified me to assist them. It was Senior Brother Li who did not ask for clarification and suddenly attacked,"

Ling Xiao replied, neither haughtily nor humbly: "He rashly made his move and got injured by me. You can only say that he is lacking in his martial arts, so how can you blame me?"

"Pharmacy Hall?"

Yang Cheng snorted coldly: "Even if it is the Pharmacy Hall, your duties are only for us to assign."

"Heh, is that so? How about you take this matter up with Elder Master Yang of the Pharmacy Hall then? If he agrees, I will absolutely comply with the arrangements, even if it means going to the mines,"

Ling Xiao said with a light smile.

"Go if you must, wait, did you just say Elder Yang? You mean Elder Master Yang?"

Yang Cheng’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Isn’t it so? Senior Brother Wu was injured by some unknown creature yesterday. When I took him to the Pharmacy Hall for treatment, Elder Yang mentioned this matter and asked me to notify the steward today, but who knew the Steward wouldn’t show up."

Ling Xiao said helplessly.

The expressions on Jin Ming and Yang Cheng’s faces became quite ugly.

Hei Suo from the distance was so infuriated that he overturned a stone table.

Xu Ying almost spat out a mouthful of old blood; she had not anticipated such a turn of events.

What was this about, by what right did Ling Xiao gain Elder Master Yang’s favor?

Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci looked at Ling Xiao with eyes full of surprise; they were from the Imperial Family and had no grudges with Ling Xiao. Hearing this, they knew Ling Xiao must possess some extraordinary qualities.

Otherwise, Elder Yang, who was known to be picky, would certainly not have personally requested Ling Xiao to work at the Pharmacy Hall.

After all, it had taken them great effort to secure relatively good positions for themselves.

"Heh, since Elder Master Yang has specifically asked for you, you may as well go to the Pharmacy Hall,"

Yang Cheng said with a smile, although his grin was quite ugly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yang, for your understanding!"

Ling Xiao said, bowing courteously before turning to walk towards his own stone hut.

Watching Ling Xiao’s receding figure, Yang Cheng’s expression grew even darker.
