Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Skeleton Creditor_1

"Hahaha, today I’d rather not squander my True Essence with you all; there are too many disciples from the Twelve Sects here, and it’s hard to guarantee that a master won’t show up. So, how about this—if the two of you are willing to stand down, once the deed is done, I’ll give each one of you a set of Gold-rare Level Martial Arts Secret Manuals!"

Chief Tu looked rough, but he was clearly not stupid.

He was well aware that although his strength was somewhat stronger than both Master Lin’s and City Lord Bai’s, the difference wasn’t significant. To determine a victor, it would take at least a thousand moves.

And if those two joined forces against him, he would definitely not be their match.

In that case, the expenditure would be too great.

She Mei was in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer. Although her actual combat ability was far inferior to the three of them, anyone that could scare this girl was definitely not weak.

Therefore, Chief Tu couldn’t afford to take her lightly.

His entire attention had to be directed at dealing with this person.

Otherwise, if he made a mistake, he might end up like those two useless Outer Disciples from the Beast King Palace, reporting to Hell.

"Hmph, you think just a set of Gold-rare Level Martial Arts is enough to trade for Mei’er’s chastity? That’s too cheap," Master Lin snorted.

"That’s right, we want no fewer than three sets!" City Lord Bai added.

"Fine, after this brat is dead, the two of you can split his belongings equally—how’s that?" Chief Tu said impatiently, "But don’t get too greedy, or you’ll make me angry, and I’ll really start fighting you!"

"What good things could this brat possibly have on him, being just an Outer Sect Disciple of the Moon Hua Sect?" Master Lin said disdainfully.

At that moment, someone from the crowd came forward and said with a clasped fist, "Elders, this person had previously found a great amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Spirit Stone shards, and Divine Weapon shards in Plague Valley. The worth of those things is even higher than two or three sets of Gold-rare Level Martial Arts."

To everyone’s surprise, the person was actually dressed in the attire of a Moon Hua Sect Disciple!

"You, a Moon Hua Sect Disciple, would betray me?"

Ling Xiao looked at the person, puzzled. He had never seen this person before; there was no enmity between them, it was simply incomprehensible.

"Hmph, Ling Xiao, you may not recognize me, but I know you! You actually killed Sister Xu Ying, whom I secretly pined for—you deserve to die!" the Inner Sect Disciple from the Moon Hua Sect suddenly said loudly, somewhat crazily, "I’m no match for you, but the net of heaven has large meshes, yet it lets nothing through! Your end has come today; daring to kill a disciple of the Beast King Palace on your own, even the upper echelons of our Sect won’t spare you!"

"Idiot!" Ling Xiao was already fed up with this person’s outburst. Betraying his own Sect and having the audacity to justify it was simply idiotic and shameless.

With a wave of his hand, he sent out a finger strike that pierced the air and instantly killed the Inner Sect Disciple of the Moon Hua Sect.

The person was only at the first layer of the Transcendent Realm; how could he withstand Ling Xiao’s lethal blow?

The person’s expression before death seemed very surprised.

Was he surprised that Ling Xiao would dare to kill him?

Or was he surprised by Ling Xiao’s formidable strength?

Or maybe he was surprised by how suddenly he had died?

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter anymore. After hearing the person’s words, both Master Lin and City Lord Bai had agreed to Chief Tu’s proposal.

"Chief Tu, we’ll let you have Mei’er. But let’s get one thing straight—if this brat dies, everything on him is ours!"

"It’s a deal."

Chief Tu did feel some regret; he had no idea that Ling Xiao had so many valuable items on him.

But this guy was set on marrying She Mei to make her his stronghold’s First Lady. Losing some possessions was a small price to pay.

Besides, She Mei was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Beast King Palace. Marrying She Mei would connect Skull Village with the Beast King Palace.

Will there ever be a shortage of good items in the future?

"Chief Tu, you’d better be careful. This kid is a bit tricky. His cultivation level isn’t high, yet he can easily kill Younger Brother Zhang and Elder Brother Hai. What’s key is that his moves are somewhat strange!"

She Mei, seeing that Chief Tu was about to make a move, hurriedly warned him.

She certainly didn’t want Chief Tu to die because he underestimated the enemy.

These three people were She Mei’s last resort. If they were not a match for Ling Xiao, then she, She Mei, would naturally be doomed to die as well.

Therefore, some things that needed to be reminded still had to be reminded.

"I have met your Elder Brother Hai before, his strength is indeed not bad, although he is still far behind me."

Chief Tu set aside his contempt; he had once sparred with Elder Brother Hai and it took him a full fifty moves to defeat him.

Moreover, the process was not particularly easy, and he even sustained some minor injuries.

"If you’re afraid, then get out of the way. I don’t care if you are some Chief, City Lord, or Village Master, if you obstruct me from killing She Mei, then you’ll have to die! So while I still don’t have the intention to kill you, you’d better scram!"

Just as Chief Tu was pondering the words of She Mei, Ling Xiao suddenly spoke up.

"What the hell did you just say, you little brat?"

Chief Tu thought he must have heard wrong. In a radius of hundreds of miles, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

With his strength, even wiping out a city would be an easy feat.

And yet this kid dared to speak to him like that, was he insane?

"I said, if you don’t want to die, scram. I don’t have time to deal with you trash!"

Ling Xiao’s voice was very calm, yet his aura suddenly surged out, definitely that of a Half-step Grandmaster, but it was filled with an intense killing intent.

"How many people has this kid actually killed?"

Chief Tu frowned, but then coldly shouted, "Your killing intent is certainly fearsome, and you do have some skill to have killed She Mei’s younger brother and senior brother, but they were merely incompetent with little real combat experience. I am different!"

"And so what if you are? Do you really want to die?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Kid, didn’t your master ever tell you not to be too arrogant?"

Chief Tu said coldly, "Honestly, it’s rare for someone with your cultivation level to have killed those two wastes. I would actually somewhat regret killing you. Let’s settle this matter today. You apologize to Mei’er, and we’ll call it even, how about it?"

"Are you done with the nonsense?"

Ling Xiao’s voice was still the same, cold and indifferent, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, as if he were talking to a dead person.

"How audacious! Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the higher-ups of your Sect!"

Chief Tu was truly enraged.

The reason he hadn’t immediately made a move was out of wariness of the Moon Hua Sect, not out of fear of Ling Xiao.

However, this youngster was completely defiant, giving him no face at all.

This made him furious, and the killing intent emerged suddenly.

"Master Ling, this Skull Village’s Chief is not a good person. They have even colluded with the Demon General, deceiving many martial artists and slaughtering countless innocent civilians."

Just then, Green Valley Young Master shouted loudly.

"Oh?"

A smile finally played at the corners of Ling Xiao’s mouth.

"Chief Tu, now it’s already too late for you to leave!"

As he spoke, he took another step forward, drawing closer to Chief Tu. The piercing killing intent continuously surged from his body, causing the surrounding air to grow cold.

Ling Xiao was more than willing to slay such evildoers.
