Proud Sword Soaring Clouds

Chapter 431: Chapter 305: Kill

"If I’m going to die, you’re coming with me!" The Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor’s bloodcurdling shriek echoed throughout the island’s forest, even reaching the distant Penzes Swamp!

Countless Magical Beasts in the swamp poked their heads out, all looking toward the sky above the forest. Then, just as quickly, they all retracted them.

Although the distance was immense—so far that even their auras were imperceptible—the terrifying pressure they exuded instilled an innate fear in these highly sensitive Magical Beasts.

A faint, mocking sneer played on Ling Xiao’s lips as he watched the Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor. Then... he gathered all his strength and viciously kicked the Sword Emperor’s lower abdomen!

The kick instantly shattered all the power the Tier Four Sword Emperor had gathered in his Dantian! He couldn’t help but spray out a mouthful of blood. In that single instant, Ling Xiao’s kick had completely obliterated all his essence, energy, and spirit.

Not a single shred remained!

His body, like a small boat tossed by raging waves, flew erratically for over a thousand meters through the air before beginning to fall to the ground. Ling Xiao shot forward like a meteor, grabbed the Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor by the collar, and hoisted him up.

"Ling Xiao! Kill me if you’re going to, but don’t you dare humiliate me!"

The Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor’s Dantian had been utterly destroyed by Ling Xiao’s kick, leaving him completely powerless. If not for an immense force of will propping him up, he would have long since passed out.

"Humiliate you?" Ling Xiao sneered. "Don’t worry, I’m not that bored!"

Just as the Tier Four Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family breathed a silent sigh of relief, Ling Xiao spoke. "I plan on sending you to the person you most want to see!"

"The person I most want to see?" The Tier Four Sword Emperor gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain racking his body. "I don’t want to see anyone!"

"Oh, but you do." Ling Xiao’s expression was calm as he slowly descended to the ground, his tone nonchalant. "Back then, isn’t this how your family annihilated entire clans and destroyed their Dantians? Today, I’m just giving you a little taste of what it feels like to have your Dantian destroyed. Perhaps I’ll even put in a good word for you with the High Priest later, ask her not to kill you. Heh, let you experience what it’s like to live for twenty years without a shred of cultivation, just barely clinging to life."

Just then, Ye Zi’s ice-cold voice drifted from a distance. "No, he won’t live that long! He’s already very old. Besides, I imagine the Magical Beasts in this swamp are quite hungry!"

"You little bitch! If you have the guts, kill me right now! The only mistake my Zhe Family made back then was letting you and your mother live! If we had pulled you out root and stem, we wouldn’t have this trouble today! Come on, get your revenge! Kill me, and your vengeance will be complete!"

SMACK! Ye Zi strode over with lightning speed, swung her arm, and viciously slapped the Tier Four Sword Emperor across the face. Her voice was colder than ice. "In your dreams! The same way your Zhe Family annihilated my entire family is how I will annihilate yours!"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

The Tier Four Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family knew that falling into their hands meant he could never hope for a clean death. The best way out now was to provoke them until they couldn’t resist killing him themselves.

"Annihilate my Zhe Family? Go on, hurry up! Haha, I’ll be disappointed if you don’t! A bunch of fools who don’t know what’s good for them! Did you really think that just because you beat your grandpa here, you’re Invincible under the heavens? Ignorant brats! Let me tell you something that’ll scare you straight! At my level, I’m just middle-of-the-pack in the Zhe Family. We even have Sword Venerable experts! Someone will definitely avenge me!" Seeing the High Priest slowly approaching, the Tier Four Sword Emperor sneered, "You must be that woman whose Dantian was destroyed all those years ago, right? Can’t believe you’re still alive. Haha, I don’t regret letting you live one bit! It’s better to let you suffer a fate worse than death, to let you live steeped in hatred! You probably don’t know, but your husband back then... his strength was lacking, but his backbone was solid. He’d rather die than reveal your family’s secrets or your whereabouts. We chopped off his four limbs! Stuffed him in a jar, turned him into a human stick! If you don’t believe me, go back to your husband’s family cellar and see if he’s still alive! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHH!"

Ye Zi let out a crazed shriek, drew the dark green treasured sword from her side, and lunged toward the Tier Four Sword Emperor. Whether his words were true or not, that man... was her biological father!

A tearing pain ripped through Ye Zi’s heart, a misery so profound it made her wish for death.

Ling Xiao grabbed Ye Zi’s wrist. She struggled a few times but couldn’t break free. Driven mad, she bit down on his wrist!

The approaching High Priest’s eyes were also splitting with rage, but fortunately, her mental fortitude was immense. Suppressing her anguish, she thought, ’The more you act like this, the less I’m inclined to grant you an easy death! I will make your Zhe Family suffer everything my family did, down to the last detail!’

Ye Zi bit down hard on Ling Xiao’s wrist. He didn’t use any protective energy, afraid of hurting her. Blood trickled from the wound, yet he didn’t even frown. Instead, he spoke gently, "Ye Zi, don’t you think... the method he described would be a perfect fit for him?"

"Ling Xiao!"

The Zhe Family’s Tier Four Sword Emperor let out a bloodcurdling scream and passed out.

That evening, several Beastmen from the Beastman Race carried a medium-sized earthenware jar. Mad Leopard was among them, his eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light. The Beastmen kept licking their lips with their tongues.

The stench of blood was simply overwhelming!

Inside the jar, the Tier Four Sword Emperor from the Zhe Family had long since fainted, but he wasn’t dead. The Beastman Race might be primitive, but they had plenty of hemostatic herbs. They planned to carry him to a place where the sun could reach him, so he could properly enjoy the warm sunlight tomorrow.

The executioners were the Tiger-headed People of the Tigerman Race. Ling Xiao and the others didn’t go to watch. For the High Priest, no amount of torture inflicted on this Zhe Family Sword Emperor could ever extinguish the hatred in her heart.

When Ling Xiao took out a smooth, crystalline Elixir brimming with powerful energy, the High Priest’s hand couldn’t help but tremble.
