Chapter 2451: Chapter 454: Sand Hunting Demon (Part 1)

A massive Sky Demon Spider descended upon the courtyard, devouring two Martial Artists alive as it emerged, then frantically unleashed its silk threads.

A gigantic flower suddenly sprouted from the ground, its petals swirling through the air, transforming into sharp blades that hunted among the crowd.

The most terrifying was Lin Ruoxian’s attack.

Her own power was already dangerously strong, and using the array formation, a massive white snake rampaged freely in the courtyard. Once its venomous breath reached you, even if it didn’t kill you, you’d faint.

Coordinating with the array formation, four people joined forces to kill or seriously injure dozens of Sword Clan Martial Artists in less than ten minutes.

This was essentially already a battle.

But Ling Xiao didn’t care.

Because he came today to start a war.

To rescue Ling Jiaojiao, he was willing to risk Jade and Stone Annihilation with the Sword Clan.

Of course, no one likes to die.

So Ling Xiao devised a plan where, if successful, they could escape and leave this damned Eight Immortals County City far behind.

And once their cultivation improved in the future, they’d return for revenge without delay.

The plan had been unfolding perfectly according to his expectations.

"Ling Xiao, if you have the guts, let’s duel. If I win, you’ll allow the Sword Clan to handle you.

If I lose, you can take your sister away, and the Sword Clan will not stop you!"

Jian Liufeng suddenly looked at Ling Xiao and said.

For he realized that he had always underestimated this existence as nothing more than an ant.

If the situation continued to develop like this, even if they managed to kill Ling Xiao, the Sword Clan members would mostly already be dead.

The Sword Clan would be weakened, and other families would surely seize the opportunity to plunder them.

Such things have happened before.

One must know that the Eight Great Families of Eight Immortals Mountain weren’t always these eight; in fact, apart from the Yue Clan, all of them have been replaced over time.

The Yue Clan is the oldest family, although not the strongest now, they possess a mysterious power. If they decide on Jade and Stone Annihilation, they could flatten the entire Eight Immortals Mountain.

No one wants to see such a result.

As such, the Yue Clan remains neutral, offending no one and being disliked by no one.

Others don’t dare to provoke them out of fear of consequences.

The other seven families in the past only replaced because previous families made mistakes, reducing their power and allowing others to take their place.

The Sword Clan didn’t want that fate.

If true, and the losses were heavy, other families would pounce like beasts and devour them.

And their vacancy would naturally be filled by another family.

There are plenty of families waiting for an opportunity to replace the Sword Clan in Eight Immortals Mountain.

Therefore, Jian Liufeng thought of dueling Ling Xiao to resolve the issue without causing trouble for the Sword Clan.

"Fool, you are a Martial Artist with Hell Cultivation Level at the Fifth Layer, while I’m only at the Third Layer.

Do you really think I would duel you?"

Ling Xiao scornfully cursed Jian Liufeng.

"Coward, too afraid to fight, what a joke!"

Jian Liufeng cursed.

"Ridiculous, fighting you would mean a lack of brains."

Ling Xiao sneered, "Am I just supposed to pick any Martial Artist from your Sword Clan for a one-on-one duel, and if I win, everything goes according to my plan? Idiocy!"

"You!"

Jian Liufeng was livid, but couldn’t rebut.

Because he was in the wrong, and on top of that, he truly couldn’t match Ling Xiao’s rhetorical prowess, so he had to accept this disadvantage.

"Dear, don’t be angry, if he doesn’t dare to battle you, then let me take your place."

Sha Xin stood out and said.

"You’re impressive; your cultivation has nearly reached the early Fourth Layer of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, surpassing both Jian You and Jian Jia.

If you possessed the Killing Sword Body, you’d probably rival Martial Artists at the early Fourth Layer of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm. Good, impressive, I accept your challenge."

Ling Xiao looked at Sha Xin and said, "But let’s be clear, if I kill you, I will take my sister, and your Sword Clan shall not seek revenge!"

He then glanced at Jian Kun and Jian Ruchao.

If these two didn’t speak, they’d surely regret it afterward.

"Xin Xin, are you confident you can win him?"

Jian Kun looked at Sha Xin and asked.

With masters locked down.

Ling Xiao’s terrifying array formation had Jian Kun in quite a dilemma.

If Sha Xin could defeat Ling Xiao, it would be advantageous.

But Ling Xiao’s previous display of strength left people worried.

Could Ling Xiao possibly be hiding his true power if he so easily defeated Jian You and Jian Jia?

Sha Xin smiled and said, "Father, have you forgotten the secret technique our Sha Clan possesses?

Though I lack the Killing Sword Body, I do have the ’Sand Hunting Demon’!

He doesn’t know about it, so I’m almost certain I’ll be able to defeat him successfully, with no chance of failure."

"Sand Hunting Demon!"

Upon hearing the term, Jian Kun was relieved.

The Sha Clan’s Sand Hunting Demon is truly terrifying, a beast hidden in the bloodlines of direct blood relatives of the Sha Clan.

Once unleashed, even the Martial Artist can’t control it.

But its combat effectiveness is unquestionably strong.

Only if Ling Xiao can be defeated, he wouldn’t care whether that thing could be controlled; he simply doesn’t mind.

"Good, I trust you, kill him and don’t let him live! Just thinking about him living even one more second makes me sick!"

Jian Kun gritted his teeth.

His hatred for Ling Xiao was indeed bone-deep.

First, he killed the Earth Demon Assassin Ling You whom they had painstakingly cultivated, then he killed three more sons, one of them his own.

A vendetta this personal is utterly irreconcilable.

How could he spare Ling Xiao?

He wished to flay Ling Xiao alive!

But Ling Xiao was too cunning, and to ensure safety, he ordered Sha Xin to kill Ling Xiao if possible.

As long as Ling Xiao died, even venting rage on his corpse would be acceptable.

"Don’t worry, father, today is the day of my husband’s grand wedding, and this guy dared to cause such havoc at the wedding scene.

He even insulted Martial Artists from our Sha Clan and Sword Clan. If I don’t kill him, I would be a disgrace to the women of the Sha Clan.

A disgrace to the Sword Clan’s wife!

Rest assured, I certainly won’t let him survive."

Sha Xin’s once beautiful face had turned into a malicious expression, like a mad beast.

She approached Ling Xiao, standing fifty meters away, and pointed at Ling Xiao, "Thief, do you dare to fight me, Sha Xin!

Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a woman!"

"Since you’re seeking death, why should I refuse! There are so many people here witnessing, you already mentioned your conditions, and Jian Kun, the Sword Clan’s Clan Leader, agreed. Whether your Sword Clan truly has no limits of shame, I’m eager to see."

Ling Xiao really didn’t want to commit more killings.

But if the Sword Clan wouldn’t release Ling Jiaojiao, he’d have to go on a killing spree here.

At most, he’d just kill one more person, he was already used to it.
