Chapter 667 666: Time to Fight!

'Damned Yang Xiao, he actually has such a heart of stone. Does he… does he not care about this woman's life at all?'

Yue Lingxi was truly getting angry.

Over the past two days,

she had been tempted to reveal herself and rescue Nangong Tianling on several occasions.

It wasn't because she knew Nangong Tianling, or for any other particular reason. She simply couldn't bear to watch.

After all,

being constantly tortured by that incredibly ferocious brute was something she found utterly cruel.

But in the end,

she held herself back.

Because this matter had nothing to do with her in the first place.

'I've already interfered once and used up a precious Taiyin Heaven-Sealing Talisman.'

'Am I really going to get myself involved again?'

'Who knows what secrets are hidden in this whole affair.'

More importantly,

Yue Lingxi wanted to see how long Yang Xiao would hide and whether he truly cared about this woman's life.

But now, it seemed…

'This guy… I'm afraid he really is a faithless and cold-hearted man!'

Yue Lingxi felt a pang of sadness.

She didn't know why.

It was just an inexplicable sadness.

A trace of sorrow even welled up from the depths of her heart.

The sorrow of having misjudged someone.

'Forget it. If that guy still doesn't show up, I'll make a move. I can't just stand by and watch this monster vent its anger on an innocent person.'

Yue Lingxi sighed inwardly.

And just then,

the tower-like man, the fused form of the Seven Evils, was also starting to lose his patience.

'We have less than a day left of our three-day Peak period. That kid still hasn't shown up. No matter the reason, if he doesn't appear soon, our plan will fall short at the last moment! No, I have to force him out!'

The man who was the Seven Evils Unite thought to himself.

A murderous glint appeared in his eyes.

He roared at the empty air.

"Yang Xiao, you coward! Since you don't dare to come out, I'll kill this woman right now! You'd better remember—she's dying because of you!"

With a furious roar,

the man who was the Seven Evils Unite truly began to strike a killing blow.

The sight made Yue Lingxi's eyes burn with fury.

Meanwhile, the already exhausted Nangong Tianling revealed a look of relief.

'The Young Miss's son didn't come out to save me. I, Nangong Tianling, haven't dragged him down after all!'

Thinking this,

Nangong Tianling actually smiled.

Death.

She wasn't actually afraid of it.

On the contrary,

the disappearance of her Young Miss, and the possibility that she was already dead, had long ago made life unbearable for her.

Now,

she was finally free.

She felt fortunate, because at last, she hadn't become a burden to Young Master Yang Xiao.

But just then,

just as she was certain she was about to die,

and just as Yue Lingxi could no longer hold back and was about to intervene,

a figure

suddenly appeared before everyone.

Seeing this figure,

Yue Lingxi froze.

The hand she had been about to strike with, she couldn't help but pull back.

As for Nangong Tianling, whose face had shown relief,

her complexion grew even paler, and a look of disbelief filled her eyes.

She stared intently at the newcomer,

desperately trying to drive him away with her gaze,

as if willing him to leave.

As for the man who was the Seven Evils Unite, the man built like an iron tower, he laughed.

It wasn't just him laughing.

The hidden Second Elder below, along with most of the academy's upper echelon, were all laughing inwardly.

Because,

this kid had finally come out to die.

"Brat, you finally decided to show yourself?"

The man who was the Seven Evils Unite wished he could crush Nangong Tianling to death right now, but he was afraid Yang Xiao would immediately flee and never appear again.

He couldn't help but restrain himself.

At the same time, he believed Yang Xiao was the one who had placed the Seal on his body, so he had to threaten the brat into removing it.

Therefore,

'I can't harm this woman for now. I have to keep her alive until this kid removes the Seal from me.'

The man who was the Seven Evils Unite thought to himself.

But his expression remained fierce.

He showed no sign of his thoughts,

as if he would still crush Nangong Tianling in his hand at any moment.

He stared at Yang Xiao,

his gaze unwavering.

"Who are you? If I'm not mistaken, we should have no quarrel with each other, should we?"

Yang Xiao, however, frowned.

He had just undergone a massive transformation. Whether it was his Divine Soul, constitution, physical body, or even his cultivation, everything had improved immensely during this period of seclusion.

This should have been a time for joy.

But he never expected that,

as soon as he emerged,

he would run into this guy. Although he had his suspicions, Yang Xiao still wanted to probe him and find out his origins.

When he said this,

Yue Lingxi, who had originally thought he was the one who had caused this trouble,

became lost in thought.

'Could it be him? Yes, this creature's aura is incredibly convoluted. Now that it's merged, it's almost impossible to distinguish, but at the beginning, it was extremely similar to those few people behind that guy… I get it. Nangong Xinghui is probably behind all of this. But why? Could it be because of me?'

A flash of insight suddenly struck Yue Lingxi.

She remembered the people standing behind Nangong Xinghui.

She instantly understood why she had felt a sense of familiarity with this creature and its convoluted aura from the start.

Because,

she had indeed seen this "person" before.

Only, at that time, it wasn't one person, but several.

Although she didn't know exactly how many people there were, or what method they had used to merge together,

Yue Lingxi now knew their origin.

Naturally, her previous thoughts on the matter changed.

'But even so, the fact that he stayed hidden and didn't come out is still a bit too cold-hearted.'

Although her opinion had shifted,

Yue Lingxi's impression of Yang Xiao was still rather poor.

After all,

in her eyes, this man had no sense of responsibility.

He actually allowed others to target a woman connected to him.

This made Yue Lingxi look down on him.

If it weren't for an expectation for Yang Xiao deep in her heart that even she couldn't understand, she probably would have left long ago and been completely disappointed in him.

Why else would she still be here?

Even thinking of waiting for a chance to help him?

Of course, Yue Lingxi would never admit this, even to herself.

Her lips curled into a pout. Watching Yang Xiao coldly, she thought, 'Let's see how this guy handles this situation.'

This was her test for Yang Xiao.

And his last chance.

As for Yang Xiao,

he was completely unaware of any of this.

After he asked his question with a frown,

the man who was the Seven Evils Unite was momentarily stunned.

But soon,

he burst into arrogant laughter.

"No quarrel? Perhaps. But now is not the time for you to bargain with us. Surrender without a fight and remove the Seal on us! Otherwise, this woman's only path is death!"

As he spoke,

the man who was the Seven Evils Unite

once again threatened Yang Xiao.

"Seal?"

Yang Xiao glanced at the strange markings on the man's body.

He immediately sensed the aura of the Power of Taiyin on them.

A thought stirred in his mind.

He understood that this matter was likely related to Yue Lingxi.

Yang Xiao's Divine Thought couldn't help but scan the surroundings.

But before he could find anything,

the man who was the Seven Evils Unite roared impatiently, "What? Are you trying to stall for time?"

After speaking, his grip on Nangong Tianling tightened.

In her current state,

it was doubtful she could hold on for much longer.

Seeing this,

Yang Xiao let out a soft sigh.

Although this woman had disappointed him, and he was very displeased with her regarding the matter of Yun'Er,

she had ultimately ended up in this state because of him.

Not to mention, she had helped him before and had a close relationship with his mother in this life.

So, no matter what,

this woman,

he had to save her!

In that case,

regardless of who this creature was,

or what its goal was,

he had no choice but to fight it.

With this thought, Yang Xiao strode towards the man who was the Seven Evils Unite.
