Chapter 1433: Chapter 1436: A Man’s Promise Worth 1,000 Gold

Listening to the voices shouting one after another, Ji Mengmeng’s face turned deathly pale.

She and Ling Xiao had never known each other before meeting at Black Volcano, although Ling Xiao could help her and trade the Black Fire Lotus with her.

But he would never risk his life for her.

"What if I refuse?"

Ling Xiao glanced at the Red Robe and asked back.

Upon hearing this, the Red Robe frowned, while Ji Mengmeng was overjoyed.

She couldn’t understand why Ling Xiao was willing to risk his life to save her.

However, from Ling Xiao’s perspective, it was he who first said he wanted to take Ji Mengmeng away; if someone blocked him, it meant they wanted to be his enemy.

If that were the case, if he abandoned Ji Mengmeng, wouldn’t that mean he chickened out?

Besides, dealing with these few clowns didn’t even count as risking anything; saving her was just a side task.

He just found Ji Mengmeng pleasing to the eye.

He simply wanted to take her away.

Act according to one’s heart, what’s wrong with that?

Moreover, this man in the red robe had previously tried to force him to leave the Black Fire Lotus with others, although he hadn’t actually attacked.

So he didn’t plan to cause him trouble.

But now that the man came to find trouble with him, should he obey like a grandson?

"If you don’t leave her, you might die."

The man in the red robe said indifferently, his relaxed tone showing he didn’t take Ling Xiao seriously.

Even though Ling Xiao had killed Nan Xiong and Tu Shan Ying, his confidence revealed he was stronger than those two.

"You alone?"

Ling Xiao chuckled.

"Yes, just me."

The man in the red robe said nonchalantly, "I’ll give you one chance. You can leave, but she cannot."

"Hehe, but unfortunately, I don’t like others’ charity."

Ling Xiao sneered, "If you want to fight, go ahead. I guarantee you’ll end up like Nan Xiong and Tu Shan Ying."

"It seems you really have a death wish. For an unrelated woman, is it worth it?"

The man in the red robe sneered.

"She was willing to help me in my most dangerous moment. For that alone, I can’t let her die today."

As Ling Xiao’s words fell, his figure burst forward, and a sword light pierced through the sky towards the man in the red robe.

Bang!

The figure of the man in the red robe didn’t budge, and with a single palm strike, his terrifying palm force instantly shattered the sword beam and continued to attack Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao’s figure flickered, evading the strike, but the surface of the lake where he had been standing suddenly exploded, sending waves tens of meters high into the air.

"Such powerful palm force!"

Ling Xiao laughed.

"Glad you know that. Nan Xiong was just a brute, and Tu Shan Ying was a coward. Killing them both is nothing significant."

The man in the red robe said calmly, "I know you’re strong. Even for me, it would take at least a hundred moves to defeat you.

But in the end, you won’t be my opponent."

"Young warrior, you should leave. They’re only taking me as a hostage; they won’t kill me. As long as the Ji Clan arrives, I’ll be fine."

Ji Mengmeng’s eyes were filled with tears.

Since the day she was born until today, besides her crazy brother, no one else had been willing to risk their life to protect her.

Even her Uncle Chen was only following orders and didn’t truly care for her.

Encountering such a person, Ji Mengmeng was already content, and knowing that the man in the red robe wouldn’t kill her, she said this.

She didn’t want Ling Xiao to die because of her.

"Girl, you’re too good at being sentimental. After saying that, I can’t leave. If I leave now, I fear I won’t be able to sleep or eat peacefully for a lifetime."

Ling Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile.

He was most afraid of those who were exceptionally kind to him.

And today, he just happened to encounter one.

Originally, he really didn’t plan to risk his life. If he faced an unsolvable situation, he would definitely run. It was just Ji Mengmeng’s bad luck.

But Ji Mengmeng’s words made him suddenly feel as if he lacked human kindness.

"A martial artist, yet so emotional. You’re destined to die because of this sentimentality."

The man in the red robe said coldly, "Still the same sentence, if you don’t leave, you’ll die!"

"Just because I let you land one hit, you really think you’re something. You should be just a Fifth Cave Heaven Realm martial artist, right? If you were a Sixth Dongtian Realm martial artist, I’d be a bit wary, but you? Not worth fearing!"

Ling Xiao looked back at the man in the red robe, and the terrifying Sword Intent was suddenly released.

This time, the released intent was the Annihilation Sword Intent!

Ling Xiao was not only fighting but also testing moves.

Before, when he killed Nan Xiong and Tu Shan Ying, he used the Slaughter Sword. This time, he wanted to use the Destruction Sword.

The huge Destruction Sword required two hands to wield.

The broad sword’s width was as wide as Ling Xiao’s body, and with just one swing, it stirred up a huge commotion.

Destruction Sword·Extinction!

Holding the Destruction Sword, Ling Xiao stepped forward, the enormous sword seemingly weightless in his hands.

The air was pierced by the massive blade, emitting a tearing sound.

The man in the red robe stood indifferently, unmoved.

When Ling Xiao got close, a blood-red long blade suddenly appeared in his hand, meeting the Destruction Sword.

Clang!

The deafening sound rapidly echoed throughout Black Water Lake.

On the lake’s surface, with Ling Xiao and the man in the red robe as the center, terrifying waves surged towards the shore, scaring many martial artists into fleeing.

The sword and blade clashed, yet neither advanced an inch.

"Young man, you are truly impressive, forcing me to use my weapon. However, you are ultimately too conceited."

The man in the red robe coldly smiled, "Originally you could avoid death and have a bright future, but today, you must die."

As he spoke, a gigantic bat silhouette appeared behind him.

The bat exhibited both red and black colors before rapidly shattering, transforming into hundreds of smaller bats that rushed at Ling Xiao to bite.

"An interesting Martial Soul, but unfortunately useless!"

An intense light suddenly erupted from Ling Xiao’s body.

Crimson Sun Feather Robe!

Flames churned, light radiated.

At this moment, Ling Xiao appeared to be dressed in a garment interwoven with the sun’s surface.

As soon as the countless bats got close to Ling Xiao, they were completely evaporated and annihilated by the high temperature.

The Crimson Sun Feather Robe was the first Mysteries of Light Ling Xiao comprehended, but with his cultivation level’s breakthrough, its power had also significantly increased.

Moreover, at that moment, when Ling Xiao cast the Crimson Sun Feather Robe, he felt he had drawn upon a portion of the Ancient Golden Crow’s power from the Mountain and River World, making the robe’s appearance resemble the Golden Crow.

"What’s going on?"

The man in the red robe was startled by Ling Xiao’s sudden eruption of the Crimson Sun Feather Robe, quickly trying to retrieve his Martial Soul, but was caught off guard as Ling Xiao’s Destruction Sword suddenly gained momentum.

Crack!

The blood-red great blade in his hand was directly cleaved in half by a single sword strike.

The man in the red robe was so frightened he quickly retreated, instantly moving several hundred meters away.

But even so, the terrifying Annihilation Sword Intent still left a horrifying scar on his chest.

"Terrifying, how could this kid be so strong!"

The man in the red robe faltered.
