Chapter 218 You Want to Destroy Him

"No matter how eloquent or distorting the truth, what can you do? Only killing can bring justice to the world. As long as you can kill anyone who tells a lie, they will die. In the world you rule, no one will dare to lie anymore."

The mocking voice rang out again, echoing in everyone's ears like a booming bell.

However, before the other party could finish speaking, a massive palm strike and a world-shattering sword strike simultaneously swung towards the same sky above.

"Why are you all so agitated? Could it be that you all lied to this lovely little girl?"

The pitch-black night sky seemed to have been torn open with a crack.

A dark figure, shrouded in billowing black smoke, strolled leisurely out of the sky.

Those who hadn't been looking closely at the sky were surprised to discover that such a strange person had been hiding in the dark sky.

The blade energy and palm wind arrived in an instant. The eerie black shadow was as swift as lightning, dodging the attack while mocking Cui Chou and Ji Zhongxuan who had made the move.

Fei Xi, who was watching from the sidelines, realized that she couldn't see how the person dodged the attack at all; it was as if the person suddenly disappeared during the attack.

By the time her eyes caught sight of the person again, the shadowy figure had already appeared in another part of the sky.

"Let it go!" Fei Xi shouted in terror, suddenly losing control of her emotions.

"Let go of what, this little mudfish?"

The attack failed to hit the target, but neither Cui Chou nor Ji Zhongxuan gave up. The next moment, an even more ferocious offensive swept into the sky.

The shadowy figure remained calm and easily dodged them one by one. His response to Fei Xi revealed a hint of pleasure, as if he was quite excited that someone could detect what was in his hand.

When the other party first appeared, Fei Xi did not get a clear look at what the other party looked like.

When she finally got a clear look at the shadowy figure floating in mid-air, she was horrified to discover that a water sphere the size of a lantern was floating on the figure's raised "left hand" amidst the black smoke.

Inside the water sphere, a silver dragon was writhing in agony.

It's that silver dragon, it's in danger!

Fei Xi had no time to ponder why the silver dragon, which was over ten feet long, had become so small. Her gaze was fixed on the black shadow that kept dodging in the sky, and she secretly calculated the distance between the position where the black shadow monster appeared each time and its initial position.

When Cui Chou and Ji Zhongxuan changed positions again and launched an attack on the strange man, Fei Xi moved.

She threw the dagger in her hand with all her might toward the empty sky on the other side.

The short, sharp dagger shot into the sky like lightning in an instant.

Just as the short sword was about to lose its momentum, suddenly with a "whoosh," a hand grabbed the still trembling short sword, and the sharp blade, capable of cutting through iron like mud, instantly severed the fingers that were holding it.

The shadowy figure remained in the position of holding the water ball in his left hand, while his right hand, which was gripping Fei Xi's dagger, was hidden in the black smoke, making it impossible for Fei Xi and the others to see if he was injured.

The other person's tone dropped from playful to completely emotionless as they spoke:

"Interesting, you're good at the I Ching? So it was you who ruined my stuff."

However, before the other person could finish speaking, Fei Xi shouted out almost simultaneously:

"Junior brother, the direction at 7 PM (戌时)! Lord Cui, the direction at 9 AM (辰时)!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Zhongxuan's palm strike was already sweeping towards the sky like a whirlwind. Cui Chou was not to be outdone. In an instant, the domineering sword energy stirred up a whirlwind that ravaged the surrounding trees like a ferocious beast.

The extremely powerful and fierce slash seemed to cleave the entire sky in two, and the black shadowy figure that disappeared in Ji Zhongxuan's palm wind reappeared precisely in the center of the wind!

The shadowy figure struck by Cui Chou's blade exploded with black smoke, like water being poured into a hot oil pan, instantly filling the entire forest.

Black smoke blotted out the sky, making it difficult for people inside to see each other.

This sudden turn of events was completely unexpected for Fei Xi. She immediately held her breath and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

Accompanied by a piercing "hohoho" laugh, Fei Xi felt the black smoke flowing abnormally in front of her chest.

Before she could back away, a pale, bloodless hand swiftly grabbed her collar. Upon closer inspection, there was a cut on the pale index finger.

At this critical moment, a punch and a palm strike came from behind her, directly targeting the owner of the pale hand.

The laughter paused briefly, then quickly resumed around everyone.

Luo Dalun and Ji Zhongxuan, who made their moves, both felt as if they were hitting cotton, and they couldn't feel anything at all.

Wait, where's Fei Xi?

The dissipated black smoke quickly gathered again and returned to the shadowy figure.

As the black smoke dissipated and the campfire blazed brightly, everyone's vision returned to normal. Ji Zhongxuan and Luo Dalun almost immediately noticed that Fei Xi, who should have been behind them, was gone.

Looking up, the shadowy figure still held the water ball in its left hand, but its right hand was gripping a woman's neck.

This unfortunate woman was none other than Fei Xi!

"Why are you fighting and killing me like this? Apart from having a grudge with this girl, I have no connection with you at all. If you make me happy, I might even give you a great opportunity."

Fei Xi was taken hostage by the shadowy figure. Ji Zhongxuan and Cui Chou exchanged a glance and simultaneously withdrew their hands.

Both of them were afraid that the shadowy figure would shamelessly use Fei Xi as a shield, so they dared not make a move rashly.

At this moment, they all coldly stared at the shadowy figure floating in the air, ignoring his nonsense and patiently waiting for him to state his terms.

But Dongfang Rui, whether he hadn't considered this or had ulterior motives, immediately interjected and shouted:

"Release Miss Fei! Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Let her go? That won't do. How dare she destroy the treasure I painstakingly created. Which hand should I cut off first, one that's so ill-mannered?"

As soon as the shadowy figure finished speaking, a portion of the black smoke on his body seemed to come alive, rolling forward and "lifting up" Fei Xi's two hands.

Mu Qingfeng, who was being protected by Luo Dalun, could no longer contain herself and rushed out, shouting:

"You monster, you're not allowed to hurt my senior sister!"

“She didn’t do it on purpose.” Ji Zhongxuan stopped Mu Qingfeng, who was about to rush forward. Looking into the depths of the shadowy figure’s gray eyes, he felt a chilling glint, so cold and arrogant that he showed no intention of apologizing.

"That's what every parent of a brat says. What, you're the only little devil left in your family? You've inherited so many treasures, yet you're not willing to show even the slightest sincerity to satisfy me?"

As soon as the shadowy figure spoke, everyone looked at Ji Zhongxuan in astonishment.

This bizarre, inhuman-looking black shadow actually knows the young man from the Qingcheng Sect.

And what treasures does this young man from the Qingcheng Sect possess?

How could this be so coveted that even the shadowy figure who could capture the silver dragon and leave them helpless would try to seize it by trickery and force?

The hand gripping Fei Xi's neck was cold and hard, as tight as a merciless steel bar, constricting her neck.

Fei Xi was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe. Her hands were bound by black smoke, and apart from kicking her legs, she could barely struggle.

"Let her go, and I'll give you a boat ticket." Ji Zhongxuan pursed his lips and threw out a small blue square piece of paper, about the size of a child's palm, without hesitation.

The paper, barely tossed out, was swallowed by the rushing black smoke before Heng and the others could even react, and instantly returned to the shadowy figure's hand.

"Only one ticket?"

"This is what you wanted most. Don't push your luck." Ji Zhongxuan's face was extremely ugly as he handed over the item.

"Ho ho ho..."

Accompanied by eerie laughter, the sudden weightlessness from the fall nearly made Fei Xi's heart leap out of her chest.

Fortunately, in the next instant, a pair of strong and powerful hands caught her as she was thrown down by the shadowy figure.

Clutching her chest, Fei Xi met the worried gaze. She was about to ask a question, but then swallowed the words back.

Now is not the time to ask for clarification.

"I've always been trustworthy. Since I've accepted the item, this matter can naturally be put behind me. But speaking of which, kid, next time tell your girlfriend to be less handsy. Others won't be as easy to talk to as I am. To be honest, I still don't quite understand the power of the hanging bead. Once you touch it, you'll naturally know how to use it. As long as you don't go too far and trigger the self-protection bead, it can help you become omnipotent here and possess everything."

The shadowy figure spoke, then snorted coldly and pointed at Fei Xi, rebuking her:

"This beaded necklace chose you, and you're actually willing to destroy it."

"I couldn't figure out who it could be until now. It turns out you deliberately spread the news to attract so many people to fight for that broken light pearl." Fei Xi said slowly after catching her breath.

She looked up at the shadowy figure in the sky and continued expressionlessly:

"If you want to fully possess the bead you mentioned, you must kill the silver dragon at the center of the formation. But your goal is clearly not to kill the silver dragon. You want the silver dragon to take action and kill everyone on its own initiative."

"You just want to destroy that dragon!"
