Chapter 274: Chapter 222: Wreaking Havoc in the Zhe Mansion
Ling Su stared at her younger brother in astonishment. Even Song Mingyue was shocked. ’Could this be the effect of the Crystal Cores Ling Xiao just threw out?’
Ling Xiao said coldly, "That’s none of your concern! You old bastard, whether or not you die depends entirely on a single word from my sister!"
"What’s going on?" Zhe Jianye didn’t answer Ling Xiao. Instead, standing at the doorway, he erupted with a powerful aura and slashed into the empty air with his Sword Qi. The potent Sword Qi vanished without a trace, yet the marble floor, clearly visible before him, was completely undamaged!
Zhe Jianye looked as if he’d seen a ghost, utterly horrified.
Ling Su glanced at Ling Xiao and said, "We should leave this place first. There are some things we can talk about after we’re out of here!"
Ling Xiao looked outside and said nonchalantly, "If you wish it, sister, I can kill that old bastard right now!"
Ling Su shook her head. She didn’t want her brother to put himself in danger. That old bastard was a Tier Six Peak Demon Sword Master, seemingly at a bottleneck. Once he broke through, he would reach the Sword Sect realm.
And her brother, who was just a Celestial Vein Master a year ago—even if he was stronger now, how much stronger could he be?
So, Ling Su subconsciously dismissed her brother’s claim of being able to kill Zhe Jianye for her as a boy’s boast to save face. An older sister’s protective love for her younger brother was unimaginable.
"Let’s go! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Ling Su glanced at Zhe Jianye, who was circling outside, and said coolly, "Ling Su will remember Lord Zhe’s hospitality these past few days. One day, I will surely repay it!"
With that, the three of them headed straight for the rear courtyard.
Zhe Jianye grew anxious at the sight. His body shot into the air, preparing to rush over and intercept them!
Although Ling Xiao had set up the Array in a hurry, it would have been a true waste of those Crystal Stones if someone who hadn’t even reached the Sword Sect realm could break through it so easily.
Several rays of light shot up from the ground, aiming straight for Zhe Jianye in the air. Zhe Jianye roared, the treasured sword in his hand flashing brilliantly. As the rays of light struck his blade, they transmitted an immense force that knocked him back. He roared madly at the people behind him, "Go around! Seal the city! You must capture them!"
Because the situation here was so unexpected, no one had anticipated it. The rear courtyard was still only guarded by seven or eight men. When they saw people leaping out, the few guards, all Great Sword Masters, were sent flying by Ling Xiao’s kicks before they could even react.
The only reason he didn’t kill them was that they simply weren’t worth his time or killing intent.
In the sky, the two Sword Emperors, Tiger and Zhe Shixun, were locked in an inseparable battle. What was worse, the stray Sword Qi that occasionally escaped from these two peerless experts had thrown the entire Zhe Mansion into chaos!
Sword Qi from a Sword Emperor Level expert could easily destroy the buildings below. Zhe Jianye roared again and again in fury. At that moment, however, he failed to notice his own son, Zhe Xiaoxing, quietly leaving with a group of powerful Household Generals.
’Hmph, the old man calls me a waste all day long, saying I’m no good at this and no good at that, but he’s just a Sixth Rank Demon Sword Master himself! When he was my age, he wasn’t even as strong as I am!’
As Zhe Xiaoxing walked, he thought to himself, ’This time, I’ll give you a real surprise! We’ll see if your son is really a good-for-nothing who only fools around with men! But before that, I need to get even!’ The thought of it made Zhe Xiaoxing’s stomach churn with indignation. The great young master of the Zhe Family, slapped twice in his own territory!
It was a monstrous humiliation!
Therefore, Zhe Xiaoxing took over a dozen Demon Sword Masters and prepared to head to that tavern first to find the two who had hit him.
Under the cover of night, Ling Xiao and the others sped back to the inn where they were staying. Ling Xiao took out a set of Adventurer’s gear and had Ling Su put it on. Her strength was the weakest, so it was best for her to escape Seven-colored City first. As for those mongrels from the Zhe Family, he could take his time dealing with them later!
Just then, he heard a commotion from below. Ling Xiao glanced out the window and saw Zhe Xiaoxing directing men to charge in. ’So this unlucky bastard is from the Zhe Family?’ he thought. Ling Su leaned over the window and exclaimed, "Zhe Xiaoxing? How did he find this place? He’s that old bastard Zhe Jianye’s only son! If we capture him, we can leave Seven-colored City with ease!"
Ling Xiao glanced at Song Mingyue, who snorted. "It’d be easier to just kill him and be done with it!"
Ling Xiao said, "Let’s just go our own way."
The three of them had already changed their clothes. Ling Su was also wearing a hooded cloak that concealed her ethereally beautiful face. They headed straight downstairs.
Chapter 223: Fierce Battle
It was now late at night. Many of the inn’s guests had been woken by the noise, but when they saw the group of men below with flashing blades, they were naturally intimidated and watched cautiously from their windows.
As Ling Xiao’s group descended the stairs, the other group was coming up. The two parties met at the landing.
Zhe Xiaoxing frowned as he looked at the trio. They looked like three Adventurers, but one of them had their entire face hidden in a cloak, which made him suspicious. He said, "What are you doing? Where are you going so late at night?"
Ling Xiao replied calmly, "What’s it to you? Are you the innkeepers? Do you get to decide when we leave?"
