Chapter 2419: Chapter 2422: You Hold the Knife, I Am the Fish? What a Joke!

Boom!

How could Su Mo just wait for death? He put all his efforts into releasing a powerful Martial Soul. A black giant axe flew out from his Storage Ring, blocking in front of him.

Although he was directly struck and flown away by the fierce Sword Light, he at least managed to save his eyes.

"Resistance is futile; if you dare to fight back, don’t blame me if I accidentally take both your eyes."

Lin Ruoxian’s expression was cold, and her Longsword trembled, releasing Sword Qi in all directions, yet completely different in nature from Ling Xiao’s Sword Qi.

Ling Xiao’s Sword Qi was domineering and arrogant, a King’s Sword Qi, an Overlord’s Sword Qi!

Lin Ruoxian’s Sword Qi, on the other hand, was free-spirited and ever-changing, like flowing water.

She hadn’t released her Martial Soul, as it wasn’t necessary to deal with Su Mo; she could handle him just with her sword technique.

Several Sword Qi were released simultaneously, each with a sharp force.

Su Mo was blown away again, even losing the black giant axe in his hand.

However, at this moment, Su Mo’s vicious gaze turned towards Ling Xiao.

He wasn’t Lin Ruoxian’s opponent, but he intended to use Ling Xiao as a hostage to make Lin Ruoxian hesitate.

A black shadow shot from behind him, transforming into a ferocious beast, reaching Ling Xiao in an instant.

"Lin Ruoxian, if you insist on pushing me, then I won’t be polite. You want my eyes? I’ll kill your so-called friend, making you live a life worse than death!"

With a sinister laugh, Su Mo’s expression was somewhat horrendous.

"If you dare to harm him, I will kill you!"

Originally, Lin Ruoxian only wanted one of Su Mo’s eyes, but he dared to threaten Ling Xiao’s life.

A white giant snake Martial Soul was released behind her.

This was her earliest awakened Martial Soul—the White Snake Martial Soul.

As for the other Snake-haired Woman Martial Soul, it awakened later, making her one of the Clan Leader heirs of the She Clan.

But the White Snake Martial Soul was more handy for her, so she released it to slay Su Mo.

"Steward Ruo Xian, don’t worry; with his strength, he cannot kill me."

Ling Xiao didn’t want Lin Ruoxian to offend the Young Lord because of him.

So he planned to deal with Su Mo himself.

Since Su Mo had murderous intentions towards him, there was no need to hold back.

After speaking, Ling Xiao released his Momentum and instantly transformed into the Tyrant Blood Demon Dragon Martial Spirit.

"Demon Dragon Blood Curse!"

This move was particularly favored by Ling Xiao nowadays.

As long as someone’s strength was similar to his, or even a bit stronger, they would be affected by the Demon Dragon Blood Curse, causing their Qi-Blood to stagnate, making even attacking difficult, let alone killing him.

As for those with a lower Cultivation Level, once the Demon Dragon Blood Curse was released, they might instantly turn into dry corpses.

Su Mo initially expected his Martial Soul to kill Ling Xiao, but he didn’t anticipate that.

Just as he released his Martial Soul, he felt his Qi-Blood tumbling, as if it was about to leave his body.

He then saw Ling Xiao charging towards him.

The sharp Dragon Claw directly grabbed at his head.

Su Mo was somewhat alert and managed to avoid a fatal blow at the last moment, but he still let out a terrible scream.

Both of his eyes were completely taken by Ling Xiao’s sharp claws.

Ling Xiao intended to continue his attack and kill Su Mo, but at this moment, another figure appeared—it was the Grand Elder of the Dark Clan, and the Vice Hall Master of the Inner Hall, Heiye Wuliang.

"Young man, spare him while you can. You’ve already taken a pair of his eyes; let him go as a favor to me."

Ling Xiao coldly looked at Heiye Wuliang and said, "Grand Elder, do you know what he did to me?"

"I know, so whatever you need next, I’ll do my best to get it for you for free. Su Mo has some connection with a friend of mine, so consider it a trade." Heiye Wuliang nodded.

"Alright, I’ll give Grand Elder this face."

If I don’t kill him, then I won’t. After all, Su Mo’s eyes are already useless.

These eyes are different from limbs; once taken, they basically can’t grow back.

Unless replaced with someone else’s eyes, but the success rate is extremely low.

Su Mo, at this moment, with blood flowing from his eyes, still roared viciously, "Ling Xiao, you’re ruthless! I won’t let you go! From today on, it’s us to the death!"

"Aren’t you leaving?"

Heiye Wuliang frowned.

Su Mo knew full well that if he stayed here, he might really lose his life in the end.

Helplessly suppressing his anger, he turned around and fled.

"Ling Xiao, I didn’t expect you to become so strong after just a few days. I’m truly shocked.

It seems it won’t be long before you hold a place among the talents of the Eight Immortals Mountain."

Lin Ruoxian looked at Ling Xiao and said excitedly.

Heiye Wuliang also thought inwardly: No wonder my brother Heiye Wuguang always wanted to adopt this young man; he truly has that potential.

He was also surprised that Ling Xiao had become so powerful, which was something he hadn’t anticipated before.

"Thank you for the compliment, Steward Ruo Xian. Actually, I was just lucky, killing the Black Wolf General and finding something in White Wolf County City that helped me achieve a breakthrough in my Cultivation Level."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"Alright, you go with Grand Elder Heiye Wuliang to get what you need. I must go now. If you need anything in the future, just come to the She Clan; I’ll definitely help you."

Lin Ruoxian had urgent matters, if it wasn’t for seeing Ling Xiao in danger, she wouldn’t have wasted time taking action.

Only Ling Xiao or her family were qualified enough for her to drop urgent matters.

"Steward Ruo Xian, if you’re in a hurry, please go ahead."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Farewell!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Lin Ruoxian turned and left.

"Come on, young man, follow me. In this Inner Hall, if you fancy anything, as long as it’s not too expensive, I can buy it for you, that’s my promise.

But you can only pick one item."

Heiye Wuliang was indeed a man of his word, and after Lin Ruoxian left, he spoke to Ling Xiao.

"Yes, Grand Elder."

Ling Xiao felt secretly delighted.

Letting go of someone who he could kill at any time in exchange for one free item; that’s certainly a profitable trade.

Moreover, giving Heiye Wuliang face means he may look after him in future matters.

That’s not just a little benefit, but numerous benefits.

As he followed Heiye Wuliang into the trading area, Ling Xiao immediately heard many whispers.

People were surprised why a Vice Hall Master would walk with such a newly promoted Upper Eight Immortals Mountain disciple.

There were those who envied.

Those who were jealous.

And those who were puzzled.

"The structure of the Inner Hall is similar to the Outer Hall, to facilitate new Upper Eight Immortals Mountain disciples in exchanging items, so the layout hasn’t changed. Whatever you were looking for before, you can find the same here."

Heiye Wuliang didn’t mind the gossip; he explained as they walked.

"Understood."

Ling Xiao nodded; he had already noticed upon entry that aside from the better quality and superior items here, there really wasn’t much difference from the Outer Hall.

This is indeed extremely convenient.
