Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Li Xingyao: “Whoever wants to kill him, I’ll kill them!”

Xiao Yang swaggered out of the City Lord’s Mansion, treasure chest in hand.

Tang Chen and the Supreme Dao Child from the Supreme Dao Sect had their eyes locked on the chest Xiao Yang was carrying.

“You all want this box? Then let’s see who’s stronger!”

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yang hurled the chest into the air.

“You…”

The Supreme Dao Child, sporting a smiley face mask, suddenly shot out two piercing glances from behind the mask.

With a leap, the Supreme Dao Child lunged for the chest.

“Hmph!”

Tang Chen let out a cold sneer, waving his right hand as a thread shot out from his wrist, wrapping around the chest before yanking it fiercely to himself.

“Looking for death!”

The Supreme Dao Child, oozing with power, swung his sword down towards Tang Chen.

“Stop!”

Ning Changkong, witnessing this scene, couldn’t just stand by.

He couldn’t let Tang Chen get sliced up by the Supreme Dao Child’s blade.

Remember, even that six-winged fire centipede was sliced in half by the Supreme Sword the Dao Child wielded.

With Tang Chen’s cultivation level, he wouldn’t even withstand one strike from the Supreme Dao Child.

Ning Changkong dashed forward, placing himself in front of Tang Chen, and clapped his hands together, catching the descending Supreme Sword.

“Die!”

The Supreme Dao Child chuckled coldly, activating the Supreme Sword in his hand.

The Supreme Sword was the supreme treasure of the Supreme Dao Sect; even Ning Changkong felt its daunting power.

As the Dao Child infused his Sword Dao Vital Energy into the Supreme Sword, its power was about to explode.

Ning Changkong flipped his palms, unleashing a violent force akin to tumultuous waves, and at the last moment before the Supreme Sword could unleash its strength, he sent both child and sword flying.

The Supreme Dao Child floated gracefully down to the ground.

On the steps in front of the City Lord’s Mansion, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but feel admiration.

Ning Changkong truly was a Half Saint in the Sacred Martial Realm.

His control over strength was at an extraordinary level.

Who else would dare to catch a Supreme Sword empty-handed?

That was the Supreme Sword!

Ning Changkong clearly had guts.

If he had hesitated even for a moment, his hands might have been turned to mist by the explosive Sword Qi from the Supreme Sword.

“Buzz!”

The Supreme Sword let out a keen cry, and a chilling Sword Qi radiated from it, causing the temperature around them to rapidly drop as if winter had arrived.

Xiao Yang’s gaze fixed on the Supreme Sword in the Dao Child’s hands.

The sword’s might had truly been unleashed.

“Let’s go!”

Ning Changkong grabbed Tang Chen and sprinted towards the city exit.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The Supreme Dao Child directly pursued them.

They quickly vanished from Xiao Yang’s line of sight.

The members of the Heavenly Medical Sect and the Supreme Dao Sect hurried after them.

“We should leave too; countless strong practitioners will be coming soon.”

Saying this, Xiao Yang headed towards the city exit.

Liu Qingyun, however, was reluctant.

There were definitely good things left in this underground city, but he knew that with his cultivation level, even if he found some treasures, he wouldn’t be able to protect them.

Moreover, in the martial arts world, killing for treasures was quite common.

With resignation, Liu Qingyun followed Xiao Yang out.

Ling Xian’er, on the other hand, seemed unfazed.

“Want to flee?”

At that moment, a figure stepped out from the darkness by the roadside, blocking Xiao Yang and the others’ path.

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yang halted in his tracks.

The dimly lit street was occasionally swept by chilling winds.

“And you are?”

Xiao Yang didn’t recognize the man.

“Your killer.”

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yang with a cold smile.

“Are you from the Guiyuan Martial Sect or the Demon Sect?”

Xiao Yang pondered for a moment and then asked.

“What?”

Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er were taken aback.

If this guy were from the Guiyuan Martial Sect, that would make sense, but members of the Demon Sect could not enter the Sacred Martial Forbidden Domain.

Having lived a previous life, no one understood the secret of the Jiazi Competition better than Xiao Yang.

Those from the Demon Path absolutely wouldn’t dare to enter the Sacred Martial Forbidden Domain.

“Such a clever little brat, killing a genius like you would bring me immense pleasure,”

the middle-aged man sneered.

“Are you sure you can kill me?”

Xiao Yang grinned at the pale-faced middle-aged man.

He had already figured out who this guy was.

“Smoke Rain Tower’s Number Eight Killer, Xuan Ye!”

Xiao Yang stated calmly; in his previous life, he had also crossed paths with killers from the Smoke Rain Tower.

In his past life, Qin Fei had also hired a killer from the Smoke Rain Tower to eliminate him.

Xuan Ye, the Number Eight killer from the Smoke Rain Tower, had once attempted to assassinate him.

“You…”

The middle-aged man was taken aback.

He never expected his identity would be known.

“How is that possible?”

“What? A killer from Smoke Rain Tower?”

Liu Qingyun’s expression paled.

It was known that the Smoke Rain Tower was the number one assassin organization in the Northern Territory.

And the top-level killers possessed the strength of Divine Martial Realm!

Who had the audacity to hire such a high-level killer to take out Xiao Yang?

“Was it Chu Guiyuan who hired you to kill me?”

Xiao Yang calmly scrutinized Xuan Ye.

“You talk too much; prepare to die!”

Xuan Ye declared as he prepared to strike.

“Who’s dying?”

At this moment, a chilling voice emerged from behind Xuan Ye.

The next second, he was enveloped in a surge of Sword Intent.

“What…”

Xuan Ye was genuinely startled.

But Xiao Yang chuckled.

“This…”

Liu Qingyun gaped at the figure behind Xuan Ye in shock.

Ling Xian’er frowned at the sight of the newcomer.

“I said, he’s mine. Anyone wishing to kill him will face my wrath!”

The newcomer’s icy voice rang out.

There she was, clad in white, sword pointed straight at Xuan Ye.

It was none other than Li Xingyao, the Saintess of the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

Li Xingyao had found her way here as well.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Xuan Ye’s temple.

He was locked in by her Sword Intent and dared not move.

Any movement would elicit a deadly strike from the person behind him.

“Ding!”

Just then, a crisp ringing sound echoed.

In the next moment, a gust of ominous wind swept through the street.

Figures emerged from the alleys on both sides of the street.

“Zombies?”

Liu Qingyun gasped at the sight.

“Ding!”

The ringing persisted.

An eerie presence began to spread.

Someone was controlling these zombies from the shadows with the sound of the bell.

When Xiao Yang and the others had entered the city earlier, they had encountered two zombies.

It turned out that those two zombies were not mere coincidences.

Someone had entered this place well before Tang Chen and the others.

The continuous ringing of the bell drove the zombies into a frenzied attack against the crowd.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a building on Xiao Yang’s left side shot into the air and came crashing down towards him.

“Run!”

A surge of aura erupted from Xiao Yang, propelling Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er several dozen zhang away.

“Boom!”

As the building crashed down, dust billowed.

Xiao Yang’s figure vanished in an instant.

The zombies lunging at Xiao Yang were also buried beneath the rubble.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of this chance, Xuan Ye launched his attack.

A bloody blade flew out from his body, slicing towards Li Xingyao behind him.
