Chapter 2533 - 2536: Arrogant to the Extreme: Utter Disregard for Royalty
"Your Highness, you must discipline your subordinates well, lest they bring you trouble."
Ling Xiao smiled at the Thirteenth Prince and said, "Killing her was not my desire; it’s just that the Undying Thunder, I can’t control its power at all."
He was doing it on purpose, of course.
From the moment the woman wielded her sword attempting to kill him, he had murderous intent.
He would not wait for the opponent to strike him before retaliating.
Of course, in this battle, the ones who shone most were not him but Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang.
"When did the two of them break through to the Sixth Layer of Hell Cultivation?"
Everyone at Eight Immortals Mountain was quite surprised.
"Hmph, I didn’t expect this Ling Xiao to not be much, but the women around him are all powerful.
Even his master is a woman, which is truly hateful. How did this guy have such good fortune!"
Jian Tianchen coldly snorted, filled with jealousy.
Crazy jealousy.
Currently, the Sword Clan has become completely marginalized at Eight Immortals Mountain.
Jian Tianchen and Jian Liufeng have also become much more obedient, not daring to provoke Ling Xiao casually, though they scold him frequently in private.
"Beixuan, Ling Xiao is not worth mentioning; his Undying Thunder has an extremely low hit rate, just be careful. Your true opponents are still Lin Yuetian and Dawn Wind Moon.
Of course, you should also watch out for those two girls from Eight Immortals Mountain.
With Ling Xiao having their help, he might really cause some commotion."
On the Tianfeng Group side, Chen Changsheng instructed Chen Beixuan.
Meanwhile, at the Yue State Palace seating.
Duke Yates also said to Dawn Wind Moon, "Killing Ling Xiao is secondary; dealing with Chen Beixuan and Lin Yuetian is key.
Remember this!"
This battle didn’t make people wary of Ling Xiao; instead, they think he hides behind strong women, utterly insignificant.
Only the Thirteenth Prince wore a gloomy face, his emotions volatile.
He initially performed well and did brilliantly, embodying the style of the Wang Clan excellently.
But now, because of Ling Xiao, he’s somewhat lost control, becoming emotionally charged.
"You killed my attendant; are you prepared to die?"
The Thirteenth Prince’s emotions finally became uncontrollable.
A terrifying aura was released madly.
Inside the venue, most martial artists trembled uncontrollably.
This Thirteenth Prince originally wanted to find someone to deal with, to give all martial artists in Eight Immortals County City a deterrent.
Now that Ling Xiao has delivered himself, he naturally can’t miss the chance.
"Die? Is the Thirteenth Prince ready for the Chen Dynasty to be annihilated?"
Ling Xiao faced it calmly, coldly smiling.
He couldn’t show weakness at this moment. If he did, the opponent would surely strike.
If he doesn’t falter, with the mindset of the Thirteenth Prince, he’ll definitely be cautious.
Just as he anticipated.
The Thirteenth Prince has always feared Shen Dian greatly.
He’s seen the scene where Eight Immortals Mountain martial artists battle, and the strength of Shen Dian is such that neither he nor even his father dares to claim victory.
"Was Chi Lian also killed by you?"
The Thirteenth Prince suddenly asked another question.
"It can be considered so. Chi Lian sacrificed her life to summon Undying Thunder from Hades against me, but unfortunately didn’t succeed."
Ling Xiao replied calmly.
He didn’t know why the Thirteenth Prince would ask such a question, but there’s nothing to hide.
"Good! Very good! I said before, before the Bull God Labyrinth contest, I won’t kill anyone.
So you can survive until then!
But remember, Chi Lian was my woman, and you’ve just killed my attendant, and you even destroyed my Heavenly Thunder Pit.
You and I have a great feud; after the Bull God Labyrinth, if you are still alive, you should know what to do, right?"
The Thirteenth Prince’s words were clearly giving himself a way out.
He dared not kill Ling Xiao because the situation with Shen Dian is unclear.
That’s why he spoke like this.
Of course, he had another motive; he wanted to recruit Ling Xiao.
If someone with such a strong background became one of his people, he would have an absolute advantage in the struggle for the throne.
Ling Xiao comprehended these two intentions but smiled lightly, saying, "Since the Prince does not kill me, let’s wait until after the Bull God Labyrinth battle to discuss."
He gave no face to the Thirteenth Prince.
This made the Thirteenth Prince’s face even more livid.
"Today’s banquet ends here; six days from now, see you in the Bull God Labyrinth!"
He worried about losing control of his emotions and feared bringing a catastrophe to the Chen Dynasty.
Thus, he prematurely ended the banquet.
In fact, from start to finish, the banquet lasted only twenty minutes.
The Thirteenth Prince left with his remaining attendant.
This banquet ended without joy.
Ling Xiao didn’t wait for the others from Eight Immortals Mountain; after the Thirteenth Prince left, he went straight away.
Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang followed closely behind.
These two girls now clearly understood.
Ling Xiao is not only morally upright but also a genius in cultivation. Following him, their cultivation would greatly improve.
And the gazes behind Ling Xiao were mostly filled with awe or anger.
Even the Thirteenth Prince dared not confront him; isn’t this guy too arrogant?
...
In the next six days, Ling Xiao focused on consolidating his cultivation and refining his top-level Thunder and Lightning Battle Body.
In some aspects, progress is fast.
In others, it’s slow.
Six days inevitably passed.
Ling Xiao’s cultivation achieved a small advancement, rising to the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell Intermediate Stage.
"Slash Xuan Ming," this top-grade Jade Martial Arts Skill, advanced to Transcendental Realm proficiency.
Thanks to continuous sparring with Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang.
Of course, these two girls also greatly benefited during this process.
Although their cultivation didn’t break through, both comprehended the first move of their respective family’s top-grade Jade Martial Arts Skills.
And raised their proficiency to Great Success.
As a result, their combat power naturally increased significantly.
Then, the trio set off again with counterparts from Eight Immortals Mountain and arrived at Eight Immortals Palace.
The specific location of Bull God Labyrinth is known to only a few.
And the Thirteenth Prince is one of them.
This contest is led by him, so participants gathered here.
Three major factions, each sent fifteen contestants.
However, analyzing from a strength perspective, the strongest is still Eight Immortals Mountain.
After all, Eight Immortals Mountain has ruled Eight Immortals County City for fifteen years, so it’s natural for them to be the strongest.
Next should be Tianfeng Group.
Yue State Palace is the weakest, but not to be underestimated.
Ling Xiao’s arrival immediately caused a flurry of angry breaths.
Whether from Tianfeng Group or Yue State Palace, or even from many within Eight Immortals Mountain, they hold grudges against him.
They want to take this opportunity to kill him.
Ling Xiao understood this clearly.
But these people, besides Dawn Wind Moon, Lin Yuetian, and Chen Beixuan posing threats, the rest are no more than sticks trying to stop a cart in his eyes.
If they seek death, he will show no mercy.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a giant flying sword flew out from Eight Immortals Palace.
Upon closer look, Ling Xiao realized it wasn’t a sword but a flying wheel ship resembling a flying sword.
