Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Prey Fights Back_1

"Let’s just hope our luck is good. After we have our meal and search a bit more, we might bump into that kid," one of them said. "Once we do, with the five of us working together, killing him will be like taking candy from a baby, right?"

"Hahaha, that’s true. Five of us here, three at the pinnacle of Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer, two in the late stage of Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer, killing a Martial Artist at the early stage of Transcendent Realm Third Layer will be a piece of cake."

The group talked and laughed as they began to look for a safe place to rest.

However, at that moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of their eyes, and two Martial Artists at the late stage of Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer were killed instantly.

Around their necks were two fine marks, but upon closer inspection, it was evident that their throats had been slit by something.

The speed of the shadow was so fast that they had no chance to react, let alone get a good look at what it was.

It was too terrifying!

Looking at their comrades who had just been joking and laughing, now turned into corpses, the remaining three Martial Artists felt chills run down their spines, and their hands gripping their weapons began to tremble.

"Run!"

"Quick, run! It must be some terrifying Ferocious Beast!"

"Since you’ve come to find me, why run away upon seeing me? Shouldn’t we have a good chat?"

The black shadow blocked the remaining three Martial Artists’ path of escape.

Although there was only one person, his aura seemed to lock down all possible escape routes, daring anyone to move recklessly, under penalty of death.

The three Martial Artists turned pale as they saw the shadow, their faces showing terror.

"You’re Ling Xiao!"

Although they had never seen Ling Xiao, Linglong Fairy had already plastered his portrait all over Sanders Castle.

"Congratulations, you’ve got it right!"

Ling Xiao said with a smile, looking at the three men. His face showed none of the decisiveness of a killer; he looked more like a naive, cheerful child.

However, the cold corpses on the ground made it very clear to the three Martial Artists just what this young man signified.

Suddenly, one of the Martial Artists took out a thunderbolt flare from his Storage Ring and launched it into the sky.

Ling Xiao could have stopped it, but he did not.

Rather than searching for them one by one, it was better to have them all come to him, so he could deal with them all at once, saving time.

With the strength of the Linglong Fairy and the Cold-faced Martial Artist, he didn’t believe the coming Martial Artists would be very strong.

Bring one, and he would kill one.

How about he acts like a bloodthirsty demon beast today?

His Plague Demon King Martial Soul needed to be nourished by this fresh blood.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao even found himself a bit evil.

However, if these people had not come to kill him, he wouldn’t have done this.

Everyone must pay the price for their actions!

"Don’t be afraid of him, this brat just got the drop on us. The three of us are more than enough to take his life!" one of them shouted, trying to stay calm.

"Right, kill him!"

"Once we kill him, we’ll get a big bounty, and we won’t have any worries about our cultivation anymore."

The three Martial Artists looked at each other and saw madness in each other’s eyes.

Then, they made their move.

Three men, three directions, all attacking Ling Xiao at once.

Ling Xiao just stood there, showing a look of disdain.

"Your combined attack skills are far worse than the Windtail Wolf. You still think you can kill me?"

Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer Peak Martial Artists, he didn’t even take them seriously now.

Thud!

Hiss!

Two sword qi, two lives!

The three martial artists who lunged forward, two of them died bewilderedly in the midst of Ling Xiao’s attacks.

Before they died, all they saw were two streaks of light as quick as lightning, and then they knew nothing more.

One remaining man turned and fled in panic.

Demon!

He believed the person he saw could not possibly be Ling Xiao, it must be a demon in disguise!

He had heard that in the Fulong Mountain Range, there existed demon beings capable of assuming human forms to hunt down humans.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave, I still have questions for you."

The reason this martial artist didn’t die was simply because Ling Xiao needed him alive.

The sword qi in his hand morphed into the likeness of a rope, entwining itself around the martial artist’s neck, then yanked him back.

Ling Xiao stepped on the body of this martial artist, issuing an icy threat, "Dare to move again, and I’ll take your life!"

"I won’t run, I won’t run, please don’t kill me, I beg you!"

Keeping this martial artist alive was because Ling Xiao saw that this guy was the most timid and scared among the three, and such characters were preferable for inquiring about what he wanted to know.

"That’s how it should have been!"

Ling Xiao chuckled and pulled out an Array Refining Stone from his pocket.

What he refined was a weakened version of the "Plague Osteoporosis Array."

Due to the lack of materials, Ling Xiao could only simplify it for now.

But even so, this weakened version was enough to deal with martial artists below the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer with ease.

If coupled with his Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul, it could even trap martial artists of the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer!

This grand gift was naturally reserved for the reinforcements that were soon to arrive.

If someone desired death, how could you possibly stop them?

"Don’t worry, just answer a few questions obediently, and I will spare you," Ling Xiao told the martial artist beneath his foot.

Just half a month ago, he would have been wary of martial artists with such cultivation levels, but now, he didn’t take them seriously at all.

Such were the fruits of half a month’s cultivation.

"You must keep your word, otherwise the Linglong Fairy will chase you to the ends of the earth and never let you off," the martial artist blurted out in desperation, using the Linglong Fairy as a threat against Ling Xiao.

He didn’t consider that if Ling Xiao truly feared the Linglong Fairy, why would he have offended her in the first place?

"Rest assured, I’ll soon be making my way to Sanders Castle, and I won’t spare anyone who dares stand with her," Ling Xiao said with a smile. "Alright, now answer my questions. If you dare lie or spout nonsense, I’ll show you what the most painful thing in this world is. By the way, have you seen a Windtail Wolf? They don’t kill their prey immediately; they play with it, making it suffer until it loses the will to live."

The devil, the true devil!

The martial artist trembled all over, his complexion already deathly pale. He couldn’t believe that a young martial artist could be so ruthless.

It had to be a transformation of a demon being!

It had to be!

Yet he dared not refuse to answer Ling Xiao’s questions, so with trepidation, he said, "Ask away, as long as I know, I will tell you."

"Good, I just overheard you mentioning the Linglong Fairy has put a bounty on my head, correct?"

"Yes, and it doesn’t matter dead or alive. Catching you alive is better, the reward is greater. If you are killed, the reward is still substantial. Furthermore, the Linglong Fairy has claimed that you’ve obtained a peerless treasure from an ancient martial artist’s cave dwelling," the martial artist earnestly answered Ling Xiao’s questions, not daring to be careless, for fear that Ling Xiao would kill him in a fit of rage.
