Chapter 275: Chapter 222: Wreaking Havoc in the Zhe Mansion
"Huh?" Zhe Xiaoxing had been slapped twice today. When he got home, he received no comfort; instead, his mother told him his father said he deserved it. On top of that, Zhe Xiaoxing had always despised Ling Su and was furious with his father. For a man that old to still be thinking of marrying a young woman... Ling Su was even younger than he was! ’When the time comes, am I really supposed to call her my stepmother?’
Therefore, Zhe Xiaoxing didn’t have the slightest favorable impression of Ling Su. Although he secretly coveted her beauty, he knew he didn’t stand a chance against his father. If his father ever found out what he was thinking, he’d be finished.
Zhe Xiaoxing feared neither heaven nor earth, but he was still terrified of his father.
At least, as long as his own strength was no match for his father’s, this fear would persist.
"Who gave you the nerve? Or has the world been turned upside down in Seven-colored City? Does any piece of riffraff think they can challenge me now?" Zhe Xiaoxing looked at them coldly and said to the group of elite family Demon Sword Masters behind him, "Teach them a lesson!"
The reason these Demon Sword Masters obeyed Zhe Xiaoxing’s every word was entirely due to Zhe Shixun’s doting on him. The patriarch had said that if his grandson were bullied, he would hold them accountable!
Although the old master might not actually hold them to account, the sight of the young master’s swollen cheeks from the earlier beating was appalling. ’This is unprecedented,’ they thought. ’If the old master gets angry, his aura alone would be more than any of us can bear.’ Thus, taking advantage of the chaos at the mansion, they had all been led out by Zhe Xiaoxing.
When they heard the young master say he wanted to teach these three Adventurers who didn’t know their place a lesson, these men felt not a single shred of guilt. ’They’re just three nobodies!’
"What do you think you’re doing? Is there no law in your Seven-colored City?!" Ling Xiao declared righteously. He put a hand behind his back and gestured for Ling Su to move farther away, though he wasn’t sure if she had seen it.
"Law? Hahaha, someone in Seven-colored City still believes in the law? That’s fucking hilarious!"
A Demon Sword Master erupted with a powerful aura, making no effort to hide his might. He laughed loudly and yelled, "You kids, kowtow a few times to our young master. If he’s in a good mood, he might just let you go!"
"You... don’t force my hand."
Ling Xiao’s tone grew ice-cold. Behind him, Ling Su was incredibly nervous. Although she sensed a huge change in her younger brother, facing a group of Demon Sword Masters still made her feel powerless. They were a group of Demon Sword Masters! Not Sword Attendants or Sword Masters... Even against a group of Great Sword Masters, Ling Su would have found it difficult to fend them off.
This was a matter of cultivation rank, and her judgment was clouded by concern. She completely failed to notice her younger brother Ling Xiao’s calm and composed expression as he faced the powerful presence of the Demon Sword Masters.
At his side, Song Mingyue’s expression grew serious. Among the group of Demon Sword Masters they had brought, several were definitely stronger than him, which made him a little nervous. However, seeing the fearless look on Ling Xiao’s face, Song Mingyue felt a sense of ease. ’Being around this guy actually makes me feel pretty safe.’
Ling Xiao kept his eyes on Zhe Xiaoxing and said, "Are you planning on acting like bandits?"
"Haha! We are bandits!" Zhe Xiaoxing laughed, then shouted at his men, "What are you standing around for? Go! Beat them to the ground first and let me vent some steam!"
Song Mingyue could no longer stand Zhe Xiaoxing’s smug face. With a SWISH, his longsword appeared in his hand, and he thrust it at Zhe Xiaoxing’s throat!
The attack was sudden and swift. The men hadn’t expected him to be so bold as to attempt an assassination while surrounded by so many powerful enemies!
As a Sixth Rank Mad Sword Master, Zhe Xiaoxing wasn’t completely without reflexes. But against a Demon Sword Master like Song Mingyue, he seemed far weaker. He cried out in terror and instinctively dodged behind the person next to him.
That Demon Sword Master was a fourth-rank practitioner himself, but in that rushed moment, he didn’t have time to draw his sword. With a furious roar, he used his still-sheathed sword to block. Just then, the other Demon Sword Masters finally reacted, drew their weapons, and all stabbed toward Song Mingyue!
The Fine Stream Sword in Ling Xiao’s hand suddenly erupted in a brilliant flash of light, instantly illuminating the dim corridor as if it were broad daylight!
The blinding flash of light left several of the opposing Demon Sword Masters seeing nothing but white!
"Not good!" someone roared, starting to retreat.
A cold smile touched Ling Xiao’s lips. With his current body as a High-tier Demon Swordsman, it would normally be somewhat difficult to catch these Demon Sword Masters. But in this narrow space... The supple Fine Stream Sword whistled through the corridor!
What was terrifying was that although this Adventurer’s strength didn’t seem that great, his sword technique was precise to the extreme!
Every strike was guaranteed to hit one of the men’s vital points. This inn had probably never been so lively!
However, the chaotic battle between so many Demon Sword Masters caused the three-story, primarily wooden building to begin to shake and sway!
Whenever Sword Qi slashed across the stairs or walls, it would instantly destroy a large section. Zhe Xiaoxing, however, clearly sensed that something was wrong. Scared out of his wits, he looked for a chance to sneak away!
Although the Sword Qi of the Demon Sword Masters was powerful, they couldn’t fully unleash it in this confined space. Except for the two Demon Sword Masters dealing with Song Mingyue, almost all the others were frantically attacking Ling Xiao.
