Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Battle with the Castle Lord_1

Hmph, setting aside the other two for now, Ling Xiao’s possession must be obtained, and then kill him!

"Quick, send the order for all three of them to come to the Demon Castle Great Hall immediately!"

The Grand Castle Master had made up his mind and ordered his subordinates to summon Ling Xiao as well as the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General.

Worried that Ling Xiao might escape, he also specially instructed the Third Fortress Master and the Second Fortress Master to follow behind.

However, it seemed that his concern was unnecessary, as Ling Xiao soon arrived at the Great Hall with the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General in tow.

In the Great Hall, only the Grand Castle Master was present, along with the just-returned Second Fortress Master and Third Fortress Master, while all others had been dismissed.

The Sea Race, having acquired something valuable, naturally did not want humans to share in the spoils, not even their lapdogs from the Ninja Clan and the Green-eyed Clan.

"We pay our respects to the three masters!"

The Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General knelt on one knee and cupped their hands in salute.

Ling Xiao, however, merely nodded slightly, showing no intention of kneeling.

Seeing this, the Second Fortress Master clearly looked dissatisfied, but he was stopped by a look from the Grand Castle Master.

After all, Ling Xiao was going to die soon, so why fuss over such a trivial matter?

"You three have returned alive, so I presume you have obtained quite a few valuable items. Hand them over, and you can go back to rest," the Grand Castle Master said indifferently.

"What!"

The Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General were both taken aback.

In the past, although they also had to hand over a third of their findings, it was never like this time where they had to give up everything.

Ling Xiao, however, sneered coldly. He had anticipated such a situation; with the Sea Race’s greed, it was natural for them to do such a thing.

"Grand Castle Master, wasn’t it just a third that we had to hand over before?"

The Fire Wolf Demon General, being rather impulsive, directly spoke up and questioned.

Although their haul was not as great as Ling Xiao’s, they had also gathered quite a few spiritual flowers and exotic plants. They would never agree to hand everything over, even if it cost them their lives.

"Hmph, there were more than a hundred people who went out with you three, but in the end, only you three returned. I haven’t even dealt with your crimes yet, and now it’s your turn to bargain here?"

The Grand Castle Master snorted coldly, "Hand them over, and your crimes will be forgiven, and you may also receive some rewards. If you don’t, death is the only path left for you!"

At this moment, his expression was completely vicious, no longer concealing any of his ferocity, his menacing look fully revealed.

The faces of the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General turned ghostly pale.

For those medicinal herbs, they had nearly lost their lives, and now the Grand Castle Master wanted to take advantage of the situation to take everything; they could hardly accept it in their hearts.

But the fear of the Sea Race that had been ingrained in them over time made it impossible for them to confront the Grand Castle Master’s ferocity head-on.

Just as they were about to agree, another voice rang out.

"Hmph, what a baseless accusation!"

Ling Xiao scoffed, "Why should we hand over the things we’ve fought so hard for to you three from the Sea Race? Don’t forget, this is human territory! You’ve crossed the line!"

Although they were under the sea, this area was still the shallow sea zone, which belonged to the Human Race. The living areas for the Sea Race were in the deep sea.

"Nonsense! Just because I am stronger than you! If you don’t hand them over, that’s a death sentence!"

The Grand Castle Master bellowed loudly.

"Indeed, a capital offense!"

The Second Fortress Master echoed as well.

"What a joke, a mere three little fish and shrimp dare to run wild on human territory. Do they really think the Human Race is without capable people?"

Ling Xiao had just checked, and he found that the Demon Castle Great Castle Master had been fiercely opposed by a Heavenly Man Realm expert from the Sword King Sect. Although he had fully recovered from his injuries, his cultivation level had actually dropped a large amount, from being a Half-step Celestial with ninety percent of his power to a Half-step Celestial with only forty percent.

This cultivation level was just right for him to practice his skills, not even needing to use Seal Cards.

Therefore, he didn’t feel the slightest fear towards this guy, and besides, he had returned this time precisely to cause trouble for these Sea Race fellows, not to pay any tax to anyone.

Hearing Ling Xiao’s words, the Grand Castle Master, the Second Fortress Master, and the Third Fortress Master all burst into loud laughter.

They deeply sympathized with Ling Xiao’s underestimation of himself.

The Grand Castle Master laughed and said, "This castle master has killed Heavenly Man Realm experts. What’s more, you’re merely a Transcendent Realm Martial Artist! Enough, since you want to defy our Sea Race, then today, let everyone witness what happens to those who defy the Sea Race!"

Craack!

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, and the chair beneath him instantly split apart.

He too was a Shark Man, the same race as the Second Fortress Master, but in terms of bloodline awakening, he was much more powerful.

Clearly, the huge shadow of a shark behind him was even clearer and more oppressive.

In the instant of his violent anger, the streams of water that swirled around him, formed by water flow condensation, looked extremely bizarre.

"Ling Xiao! Kneel now, surrender what you have obtained, and this castle master may spare your life. Otherwise, you will regret it when it’s too late!"

The reason why the Grand Castle Master didn’t immediately take action was not that he feared Ling Xiao, but because he was worried about damaging the Martial Soul Fruit during the battle, which would not be good.

However, if Ling Xiao stubbornly refused to listen to him, then he would have to take action. Even if it meant destroying the Martial Soul Fruit, he absolutely could not let Ling Xiao leave.

"Big brother, why waste words with him? Just kill him!"

The Second Fortress Master exclaimed loudly.

"You two keep an eye on the Thousand-Handed Demon General and the Fire Wolf Demon General, and keep your mouths shut!"

The Grand Castle Master glared at the Second Fortress Master and then continued to stare at Ling Xiao. The water circling around him began to move faster and faster. What started as a small stream was now turning into a rapidly flowing river, and it seemed to become stronger and stronger.

As he talked, he didn’t waste any time but was secretly accumulating power. Whether or not Ling Xiao turned over his possessions, he was certain to take action.

"Heh heh, originally you might have lived a while longer to deliver a message to the Yin-Yang Demon King, but now, it seems you no longer have that chance. I’ll find someone else for that task."

Faced with the Grand Castle Master’s threat, Ling Xiao suddenly laughed and said.

"Very well, since you seek death, do not blame this castle master for being merciless!"

No matter how good-tempered the Grand Castle Master was, he could not tolerate Ling Xiao’s provocation. In an instant, his anger erupted like a volcano, and then the water swirling around him instantly transformed into a white shark that pounced toward Ling Xiao. In terms of power, it was far greater than what the Second Fortress Master had displayed.

This was indeed a strike filled with resentment. Even a Half-step Celestial at one or two percent strength would definitely not dare to meet it head-on.

Yet Ling Xiao simply watched the Grand Castle Master’s attack, showing no intention of countering or summoning his treasured sword.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and a palpable Destruction Will shot forth.

Bang!

Those mere two glances directly shattered the white shark into pieces, and even the walls of the great hall began to show cracks.

This was supposed to be a great hall protected by special magic arrays and constructed with special materials, yet it just cracked open like this, incredibly unbelievable.

Those two glances had condensed three layers of Destruction Will, with an attacking force not inferior to an Ice and Snow Storm.
