Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1001 - 999: Fight to the Death! [Second Release]

The entire backyard was enveloped in silence.

All eyes on Xiao Yi were as if they were looking at a cold corpse.

"This kid is really arrogant!"

"Arrogant? Arrogance comes at a price. Believe it or not, if he doesn’t kneel and apologize to Saint Heir within three breaths, the Bloodthirsty Corpse Insect Lake will be gaining a new corpse!"

"I really don’t understand why the domain lord brought this bumpkin into the sacred land..."

Li Jianyang’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a chilling smile as he slowly said, "Do you know who you are talking to?"

He leaned slightly forward, narrowing the gap between himself and Xiao Yi.

His eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a terrifying cold glint.

That gaze was sharper than the edge of knives and swords.

Dark tornadoes appeared out of thin air within the backyard, the bone-chilling storm was so fierce that it froze the ground around Li Jianyang with frost.

This was the ultimate killing intent.

The always domineering Saint Heir Li Jianyang, when had he ever been insulted like this?

As their gazes met,

Xiao Yi still showed no sign of backing down and enunciated every word clearly, "Do you, on the other hand, know who you are talking to?" freёnovelkiss.com

"Above Southern State, of the Daqian Dynasty, I am Xiao Yi Xiao Zhenguo, oh, and also the head of Xiaoshanhe Institute... Have I got even the slightest detail wrong?" Li Jianyang listed all of Xiao Yi’s identities as if they were treasures in his palm, appearing as if he controlled everything.

Li Jianyang could become a Saint Heir of the Yellow Region; naturally, he was no fool.

Before this.

He had already ordered people to collect all kinds of information on Xiao Yi.

However...

The information he could gather was only the identities Xiao Yi exposed on the surface.

Such as the Buddhist Saint King.

Such as him already possessing the combat power of a Peak Supreme Venerable and so on.

These were confidential intelligence, and naturally, Li Jianyang had no way of obtaining them. It was precisely because of this, thinking he had complete control over all of Xiao Yi’s cards, that he dared to open his mouth wide like a lion, directly demanding 450,000 source stones.

After all.

In his eyes, he was the exalted Saint Heir of the sacred land.

And Xiao Yi?

Just a rural bumpkin from some small country in Southern State, wasn’t he at his mercy to knead as he wished?

Watching the overflowing confidence and the fearlessness of having everything under control on Li Jianyang’s face, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but sigh. He had wondered why Li Jianyang dared to extort him so blatantly.

It turns out Li Jianyang was utterly clueless about his true identity.

"Scared now, aren’t you? Your so-called identities might make you a big shot in the small pond of Southern State, but this is Nantian’s sacred land. To put it rather unpleasantly, even the dog at the entrance of my Saint Heir residence has a more noble status than you."

Seeing Xiao Yi’s silence, Li Jianyang thought he was stunned by the information he controlled and grew even more presumptuous: "I was initially willing to let you keep 50,000 source stones out of respect for Domain Lord Zou. But since you refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being merciless. Hand over 500,000 source stones without a single one missing to me, Saint Heir, or else, you will not take a single step out of the Saint Heir residence today!"

Greed glinted within Li Jianyang’s eyes.

500,000 source stones!

Should he acquire these source stones, he would not only be able to obtain more resources to improve his cultivation rapidly.

But also...

He could gather more powerful fighters under his command.

After all.

None of the Saint Heirs would be content with just being a domain lord in the future!

Aren’t they all aiming for the supremely exalted position of the Saint Master?

Li Yun spoke with a mocking tone: "Xiao Yi, having something that caught the eye of my Saint Heir is an honor for you. I advise you to obediently hand over the source stones. Doing so will not only save your life but also earn you the friendship of my Saint Heir!"

"Li Yun is right, how noble is our Saint Heir to take interest in your belongings - it is your honor..."

"Just hand them over quietly!"

The surrounding powerhouses all began to urge persuasively.

Seeing that Xiao Yi had no intention of handing over the source stone, a glint of cold light flashed in Li Jianyang’s eyes as he said coldly, "Xiao Yi, you couldn’t possibly believe that with a domain lord backing you, this Saint Heir wouldn’t dare to touch you, could you?"

Xiao Yi merely glanced at him indifferently.

His gaze playful, with a hint of mockery and ridicule.

Li Jianyang immediately became annoyed, snorted coldly, "It seems our Xiao Zhenguo is not very accommodating, eh! Aren’t you overflowing with kindness, wanting to save these lowlifes? Li Yun, throw all these women into the Bloodthirsty Corpse Insect Lake. I want to see if our Xiao Zhenguo is truly kind-hearted!"

"Yes!"

Li Yun grabbed two graceful women with a malicious smile and was about to throw them into the lake.

"Save me..."

"No, I don’t want to die..."

The two beautiful young women cried out in despair.

Just as they were about to be thrown into the lake by Li Yun, Xiao Yi let out a soft sigh, "Can’t you just live peacefully? Why insist on seeking death?"

"Hm?"

Li Jianyang was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, what are you talking about? Seeking death? Are you referring to this Saint Heir? Xiao Yi, oh Xiao Yi, you mustn’t confuse this place with some remote corner of the Daqian Dynasty. Here, even if you are a dragon, you will have to coil up. Li Yun, throw them in!"

"Yes!"

Li Yun flung them away with force.

"Help..."

"No..."

The two girls were thrown out with tears streaming down their faces like the rain in pear blossoms.

The onlookers showed a schadenfreude expression, "Hahaha, the Bloodthirsty Corpse Worms can devour them in the blink of an eye; this is the most thrilling part!"

"This Xiao Yi really thinks too highly of himself, daring to threaten Saint Heir? Isn’t he seeking death like an old man courting disaster by consuming arsenic?"

However...

The next second, the smiles on their faces crumbled like collapsing clay.

They saw the two women astonishingly spinning in mid-air and landing back on the shore.

"Hm?"

"Xiao Yi, you’re courting death!"

Li Jianyang’s face turned grim as he shouted furiously.

The crowd only then noticed that Xiao Yi had somehow, with one hand, grabbed Li Yun by the neck and was holding him aloft above the lake’s surface. Under Xiao Yi’s restraint, Li Yun, despite being at the peak of the Human Venerate Realm, had no ability to resist at all.

He was completely immobilized as if a Binding Spell had been cast on him, unable to move, his eyes filled with terror and despair. He hadn’t even had time to react before Xiao Yi had captured him and brought him above the lake.

Now, looking down, Li Yun could see the Bloodthirsty Corpse Worms gathering in the lake waters below.

Having taken care of these bloodthirsty insects year-round, he knew all too well how terrifying they were.

If Xiao Yi were to throw him in, even with his Human Venerate Realm cultivation, he likely wouldn’t last long before being gnawed down to bones, hence he could only look pleadingly towards Li Jianyang, "Your Highness, save me, please save me..."

Li Jianyang’s face was extremely unsightly.

According to his plans...

Dealing with Xiao Yi should have been as easy as crushing an ant.

Xiao Yi would never dare to resist.

He would obediently hand over the source stone.

Yet the result was far beyond his expectations.

Not only did Xiao Yi refuse his demand for the source stone, but he also disrupted the virgin slaughter feast right before him and had his confidant Li Yun held above the lake, poised to feed the Bloodthirsty Corpse Worms.

This was undoubtedly a slap in his face!

Li Jianyang’s face darkened as he said, "Xiao Yi, do you really wish for you and this Saint Heir to be irreconcilable?"

Xiao Yi glanced at him and said with a cold smile, "Then let it be irreconcilable!"
