Chapter 1177: Chapter 117: Black Python Clan

The other martial artists were different.

Their purpose was very clear, so as soon as they arrived, they immediately thought about entering the city.

Interestingly, Ling Xiao noticed that when these people were entering the city, some could freely enter, while others were stopped by the martial artists guarding the gate and had to pay a certain amount of Spirit Stones before they could enter.

"Isn’t it said that Crime City is unclaimed territory? Why is there someone collecting an entrance fee?"

Ling Xiao asked the martial artist in front of him, curious.

"Don’t ask, just pay if they ask you to, don’t create trouble for yourself. Crime City may be unclaimed, but this is a place where the strong prey on the weak, if you’re inferior, you have to pay protection money."

The martial artist in front of him whispered.

"Oh, I see, I understand now."

Since it’s a matter of using fists to talk, then it seems he doesn’t really need to pay this money.

After all the people in front had entered the city, Ling Xiao and his two companions followed suit.

"Stop right there!"

The four martial artists guarding the gate stopped them in their tracks, drawing the attention of the martial artists who had just entered the city.

"That guy must be new here, how does he not know the rules?"

"Definitely new, I’ve never seen him before anyway."

"Well, no wonder then, not knowing the people from the Black Python Clan is practically seeking death."

The martial artists who had already entered the city seemed to be in no hurry, instead folding their arms and watching the excitement.

Every time a new martial artist arrives, quite a stir ensues, and it seemed there would be entertainment this time as well.

Sizing up the four martial artists blocking his way, Ling Xiao noticed that all four of them possess cultivation levels reaching the Early Stage of Eight Desolations Heaven.

This level of cultivation would not just be considered strong on Heavenly Dragon Continent but was definitely formidable even on Divine Phoenix Continent.

The attire of the four men did not match the uniformed guards of a regular city; they seemed more like enforcers from a particular gang.

They were dressed in tight clothes embroidered with a black Giant Python, which indeed looked quite imposing.

Very arrogant and smug expressions could be seen on the faces of all four men.

It appeared they definitely had some powerful backing.

"What’s the matter, gentlemen?"

Ling Xiao asked with a light smile.

"Kid, since you’re new here, we’ll cut you some slack, after all, ignorance is not a crime. But listen up now, to enter Crime City, each person must pay 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, or a thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

There are three of you, so either pay 300,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones or three thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones, take your pick."

The one speaking was Triangle Eyes, whose gaze held a hint of blood-red, giving a somewhat serpentine impression.

His words were clearly laced with a threat, and although no consequences were explicitly mentioned, it was clear what would happen if they did not comply.

"You must be mistaken, sirs. Crime City is a land without an owner, and everyone can come and go freely. On what basis are you collecting Spirit Stones?"

Ling Xiao countered cheerfully.

"Because we are stronger than you, isn’t that reason enough? Cut the nonsense and fork over the Spirit Stones, or get lost. This isn’t the place for you to throw your weight around!"

Triangle Eyes growled impatiently.

"Oh, I see, so if I’m stronger than you guys, I don’t need to pay the Spirit Stones, right?"

Ling Xiao asked, pretending to have just realized this.

"Heh, smart kid. Since you get it, hurry up and pay, it saves everyone’s time. You couldn’t possibly be stronger than us but remember, even if you are, don’t forget we are from the Black Python Clan, you can’t afford to offend us," Triangle Eyes chuckled.

"Black Python Clan?"

Ling Xiao really hadn’t heard of such a clan.

"Ever heard of the King of the Black Market of Crime City? That’s our boss!"

Triangle Eyes declared proudly.

"Tsk tsk, really quite intimidating, King of the Black Market, impressive, impressive, but unfortunately, I just don’t want to pay. I have Spirit Stones, but I don’t want to give them to you, what do you think should be done?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"If you dare to refuse, I’ll kill you!"

Triangle Eyes instantly showed a fierce appearance.

As part of the Black Python Clan, they had been collecting entry fees here for many years, and there had been some arrogant individuals who refused to pay.

However, although those people were arrogant, they were not their match at all, easily dealt with, and there was no need to even use the family’s influence.

The three people in front of him all seemed young.

Two of them were probably only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The other girl that was slightly older, but utterly incapable of defending herself.

And they dare to stand up to them?

"Kill us?"

Ling Xiao’s expression suddenly turned ice cold.

Originally, being asked to pay only disgusted him, but he had not yet reached the point of wanting to kill.

But now, these four actually wanted their lives?

That made him quite unhappy.

"That’s right, you don’t have 300,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, and yet you want to enter the city? Get as far away as possible, or if you refuse to leave, it will be a dead end! Our boys here have under their belt not less than a thousand wronged souls, maybe even nine thousand. Decide for yourself!"

Triangle Eyes stared at Ling Xiao with a piercing gaze, his cold aura completely unleashed.

"I don’t want to pay, and I don’t want to leave either."

Ling Xiao said with a light smile as he took a step forward.

"Courting death!"

The expressions of the four men turned dark and menacing, as nobody had ever dared to disrespect them before.

Even many arrogant and domineering strong individuals would remain silent once they heard these men were from the Black Python Clan.

This kid actually wants to force his way through?

"That newcomer is done for!"

"Hmph, serves him right, don’t know where this kid came from, can’t see the situation clearly, knows nothing, and dares to contend with the Black Python Clan, it’s simply courting death."

"Let’s guess, how will he die?"

"Poisoned to death, maybe!"

"Definitely will be chopped into pieces and fed to wild beasts, the Black Python Clan raises Giant Pythons that need to be fed human flesh."

"Hahaha, no matter how he dies, it’s bound to be very exciting, let’s wait and see."

The Martial Artists inside the city watched the argument with smiling eyes, with no intention whatsoever of intervening.

After all, those who dared to come to Crime City were either extremely powerful in Cultivation Level or local tyrants, basically not good people.

Whizz!

Ling Xiao’s aura suddenly soared, climbing to the Eight Desolations Early Heavenly Stage.

Of course, this wasn’t his true Cultivation Level, but it was more than enough to take care of the four in front of him.

"Wow! No wonder this kid is so arrogant, it turns out he’s also a Martial Artist with a Cultivation Level of Eight Desolations Heaven, having such Cultivation Level at such a young age is really impressive."

"What’s the use of being impressive, too arrogant, and I’m afraid he’s going to meet his end today, it’s a pity to die like that."

"That’s why I say, when you come to an unfamiliar place, it’s best not to be arrogant, otherwise you won’t know how you died."

The Martial Artists in the city were shocked by the strength Ling Xiao suddenly burst out with, but they had no other opinion on Ling Xiao’s impending death.

Even as a genius with a Cultivation Level of Eight Desolations Heaven, facing four Martial Artists of the same level, there was no chance of victory.

The four guards of the Black Python Clan were also a bit surprised, and they pounced on Ling Xiao all at once.
