Chapter 2456: Chapter 2459: Let’s See Who’s More Ruthless!

Although Jian Liufeng’s prowess far exceeded Ling Xiao’s, Ling Xiao was prepared, avoiding direct confrontation with Jian Liufeng. With Jian Liufeng caught in the array formation, he feared he couldn’t catch Ling Xiao even if he exhausted himself.

"People of the Sword Clan are indeed shameless, losing the wager and now forcibly settling scores.

Do you really think Ling Xiao is afraid of you?

Since Jian Liufeng broke his promise, then I’ll turn the Sword Clan into ruins!"

Ling Xiao was fired up.

Though he couldn’t defeat Jian Liufeng, he could bring down the entire Sword Clan.

Suddenly, a giant Divine Dragon soared from within the array formation.

The Divine Dragon, its body ablaze, spiraled and danced within the Sword Clan courtyard.

Buildings collapsed continuously, and the Martial Artists of the Sword Clan were repeatedly slain.

These Martial Artists all intended to kill him. None were innocent, so he felt no guilt for killing them.

"Stop! Or I’ll kill her!"

Suddenly, Jian Kun, who had been silent, shouted angrily.

The scene instantly quieted down.

Jian Liufeng was stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

Jian Kun!

The dignified Clan Leader of the Sword Clan actually held a sword to Ling Jiaojiao’s neck, using her to threaten Ling Xiao.

"Damn, it’s disgraceful. When did the Sword Clan fall to this level, using a girl to threaten a small Hell Peak Martial Cultivator?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

After all, great clans value their reputation. Although they secretly do sordid things, they all appear as gentlemen on the surface and wouldn’t engage in such dirty deeds.

Yet Jian Kun did exactly that.

Because at this moment, he had no other solution.

Ling Xiao’s array formation was too troublesome.

Even Jian Liufeng couldn’t subdue it in due time.

If this continued, his Sword Clan might turn into ruins.

He absolutely refused to let that happen.

So, he could only act this way.

Even if it meant losing face, he wouldn’t let Ling Xiao get away.

"You old dog, you truly bring shamelessness to its peak."

Ling Xiao frowned at Jian Kun and said coldly.

"It doesn’t matter what you say. If you want her to live, you’ll have to take your own life. Only after you’re dead will I release her."

Jian Kun responded loudly.

"You Sword Clan members speaking is no different than farting. Do you really think I’d believe you?"

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"It’s irrelevant whether you believe or not, but if you don’t listen to me, she will die."

Jian Kun thought that since he had already done such a shameless act, he wouldn’t mind anymore.

"Go ahead and kill her. I promise to make everyone in the Sword Clan accompany her in the grave."

Ling Xiao looked coldly at Jian Kun and said, "Do you think I’ll be dumb enough to give up my own life because of my deep bond with my sister?

To you faithless folks, even if I die, my sister will still fall into the Demon Cave.

Rather than that, let’s go down together in a blaze of glory."

He looked at Jian Kun with indifference, though his heart was extremely tense, his face remained cold and calm.

"What!"

Jian Kun was a bit perplexed by Ling Xiao’s attitude.

He had seen many people who, when their kin was held hostage, they flinched.

But Ling Xiao was different.

This guy kept his cool.

And he seemed so composed, as though everything was under his control.

"I’m not joking with you. If you don’t surrender, I really will kill her."

Jian Kun’s sword blade was already in contact with Ling Jiaojiao’s neck, a bloodstain appeared and blood dripped down.

Perhaps the pain awakened Ling Jiaojiao from her daze.

Though confused about what happened, the moment Ling Jiaojiao awakened, she guessed the situation roughly.

"Brother, don’t worry about me, just avenge me if I die!"

She, disregarding the pain on her neck, shouted loudly.

"Rest assured, I’ll ensure the entire Sword Clan accompanies you in death, from the old to the young, not one will be spared!"

If anything could turn Ling Xiao into a complete demon, it was someone daring to harm his kin and friends.

Once, due to the death of two good brothers, he wiped out a Sea Race tribe.

And he never regretted it to this day.

Everyone must bear the consequences of their actions.

If someone considers him cruel and seeks to kill him, he doesn’t care, but only if they have the strength to do so.

While speaking, the array formation reignited, a Thunder Dragon instantly binding hundreds of Sword Clan members.

These people, though weak in strength, were relatives of the Sword Clan’s upper echelon.

Covering aged elders and young children.

Previously, Ling Xiao had intentionally avoided these people and not harmed them during his attack.

He was, after all, no demon.

Didn’t want to kill innocent people.

But at this moment, upon seeing what Jian Kun did to his sister Ling Jiaojiao, he rather be a demon.

Without any compassion.

"How about it, Jian Kun, shall we act simultaneously and see who suffers more?"

Ling Xiao looked coldly at Jian Kun, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Ling Xiao, you’re crazy, quickly release those people, they’re innocent, just ordinary folks."

An Yexing shouted vehemently.

"Clan Leader, why meddle now when that old dog Jian Kun was using my sister as a hostage, you didn’t even let out a fart?

If not daring to fart, then hold it in, don’t emerge now pretending to be a good person.

Of course, if you want them alive, it’s simple. Have Jian Kun release my sister."

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"You! You’re utterly rebellious! This is a grave offense!"

An Yexing yelled in violent anger.

"Grave offense? Those who seize countries become marquises, those who steal hooks are condemned, I understand that. If I just kill one from the Sword Clan, indeed it’s a grave offense.

But if I annihilate the entire Sword Clan, then I can become a clan myself, replace the Sword Clan within the Eight Great Families.

Honestly, except for the Yue Clan, isn’t this how the rest of you Eight Great Families came to be?"

Ling Xiao mocked.

Everyone knew such things, but only Ling Xiao dared to voice it.

This fearless fellow.

"Father, don’t worry about him, he won’t dare kill our Sword Clan people, otherwise I’ll make him live worse than death and let Yuhua Town run with blood."

Jian Liufeng shouted.

"Is that so?"

A cold gleam flashed in Ling Xiao’s eyes. Among the bound hundreds, one turned to ashes, dying tragically on the spot.

"Don’t blame me, Jian Liufeng caused this, this self-important guy really thinks he’s the great Ruler, able to control everything?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He looked at Jian Liufeng, with a mocking tone.

"Crazy, truly crazy!"

Jian Liufeng never expected Ling Xiao to go this far.

"Crazy? Indeed, I’m crazy. Anyway, if I won’t live, why not go crazy?"

Ling Xiao said coldly, "Listen up, Jian Kun, you have one hostage, but I have hundreds.

I don’t mind killing one every minute."
