Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Defeat You to Your Face!

"Brother, listen to my advice," Feng Yanran said. "Crippling her will bring you no benefit whatsoever."

Although it sounded as if she were negotiating, her tone carried a strong warning and threat, even a hint of command.

It seemed that as soon as she stepped in, Ling Xiao had to do as she said without any room for doubt.

"Not crippling her would benefit me, then?"

Ling Xiao retorted, his tone laced with sarcasm.

It was an unavoidable question. Even if he didn’t harm the girl today, she would still seek revenge, perhaps even more decisively and viciously.

He might as well collect some interest in advance!

Feng Yanran naturally understood this. She paused, then dodged the topic and said, "If you cripple her today, not only will you offend her, but you will also offend Qingxu College. Do you really want to do that?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Ling Xiao asked coldly.

"If you think so, then so be it. I have some weight in Qingxu College, and I believe many would stand up for me."

Feng Yanran’s threatening tone intensified.

"I hate being threatened the most!"

Ling Xiao said coldly, "Do you know what the consequences of offending me would be?"

At his words, the onlookers were stunned once again.

This guy was too arrogant, daring to disrespect the goddess of Qingxu College, Feng Yanran.

One must know, although Feng Yanran’s strength was the weakest in the Chu Feng Class, her beauty attracted many from the class to go through fire and water for her.

Offending this woman meant offending half of the elites in the Chu Feng Class.

Ling Xiao had no interest in the thoughts of others. He was very clear about what he was doing.

He had considered all the consequences. Ultimately, if he didn’t show that girl some colors, she would only become more presumptuous and relentless.

This was also the experience he had gained along the way.

"Offend you? I had no intention of offending you."

Feng Yanran paused and shook her head.

"However, when my friend was pushed down the stairs, you didn’t speak out to stop it!

When I was stabbed by that woman with a flying dagger, you didn’t speak out to stop it!

When she demanded I kneel down and cripple my own martial arts, you again didn’t speak out to stop it!

If you choose to be a bystander, you should follow their rules, just stand by and watch the excitement.

So why appear only when I am disciplining this woman?

Do you think I have no status? No power, just a refugee from Heavenly Dragon Continent, so it wouldn’t matter even if I died?

Or perhaps, saving a useless person like me brings you no benefit at all?"

Ling Xiao’s words resounded powerfully.

Before this, they thought Ling Xiao was being too much. A beautiful woman had intervened asking him to stop, so why not just give her some face? There wouldn’t be any loss.

But after hearing these words, they suddenly realized that it wasn’t the case at all.

Thinking about it, Feng Yanran really seemed to be buttering up that girl, a typical case of a double standards.

Feng Yanran said she had no intention of offending Ling Xiao, yet, in reality, with such actions, she was plainly choosing to stand against Ling Xiao.

"Get lost!"

Ji Mingkong suddenly intervened, thrusting his sword towards Feng Yanran.

Feng Yanran’s face changed drastically as she quickly dodged.

It was at that moment that Ling Xiao walked over and lightly touched the forehead of the young girl.

"People really shouldn’t be too arrogant!"

"Ah—!"

A piercing scream echoed through the clothing store, and the entire shop, along with the bustling crowd, seemed as if they had been frozen by a spell, instantly becoming completely quiet.

The girl’s face showed an unprecedented expression of fear.

"No! You’ve crippled me, you really crippled me!"

She was indeed crippled, and so easily at that; the True Essence within her body was completely gone, and even her Martial Veins had almost regressed to their original state. Everything had to start from scratch.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had not expected that Ling Xiao would really dare to cripple the girl, and without any hesitation.

This girl was the precious darling of the Ice Phoenix Clan, a true daughter of profound wealth.

Even the Emperor showed great affection towards her.

Yet today, she had been crippled of all her Cultivation Level.

Feng Yanran was also shocked; this young man had really done it. Was he not afraid of retaliation by the Ice Phoenix Clan?

"What you did was really very foolish!"

Ji Mingkong pushed back Yan Ran and did not strike again, which is why Yan Ran had the chance to say such a thing.

Her body was trembling, as if she had been stung by something.

The originally dignified and elegant temperament also collapsed somewhat at that moment.

"You’re talking about a smart move, is it just letting her kill me?"

Ling Xiao did not even glance at Feng Yanran. He had seen many women like her, hardly worth mentioning, thinking that with their good looks they could command men under heaven, which was simply ludicrous.

"Yes, even if she wanted to kill you, you should kneel and let her do it, at least that would keep the lives of your few friends! Moreover, she didn’t have the ability to kill you!"

Feng Yanran’s cold voice resounded.

She also had the surname Phoenix, like that girl, and belonged to the Ice Phoenix Clan, linked to the Royal Family.

Since childhood, she was also spoiled and viewed other people’s lives as worthless. In their eyes, only people from the Royal Family counted as humans; the rest were just puppets that could be killed at any time.

"Hahaha!"

Ling Xiao laughed in anger, "Sorry, I’m really not as clever as you!"

Heavy sarcasm was mixed in his words, he really detested this woman named Feng Yanran to the extreme.

Even more so than his dislike for that girl.

"You are foolish because you have ultimately caused a great disaster. You came to Divine Phoenix Continent probably to seek refuge, but upon arriving, you offended someone you should not have. You can’t bear this cost!"

Feng Yanran said coldly.

"Wrong! Utterly wrong!"

Ling Xiao shook his head, "I don’t want to repeat what I said before a second time, crippling her, sparing her, seems there is no difference in outcome. The only difference is crippling her makes me feel exhilarated, satisfied, not suffocated like a turtle, only to still end up being slaughtered in the end!"

"Indeed, if I can’t escape it, why avoid it? If the end is death anyway, it’s more comfortable to die standing than kneeling!"

Ji Mingkong also declared loudly.

She had not stopped Ling Xiao from start to finish because she thought what Ling Xiao did was not wrong.

"A very courageous statement, but the cost of crippling her, you really can’t bear! There’s a difference between one person dying and everyone dying."

Feng Yanran looked at Ling Xiao indifferently: "Originally, I planned to ensure that your friends lived after you died, but now, I can’t help you anymore."

"If her family wants a corpse, then I don’t mind helping them out again!"

Ling Xiao’s icy voice carried a strong threat.
