Chapter 708: Chapter 707: Slay

“Quick, kill him! As long as you kill him, I’ll do anything you ask, I promise!”

As soon as the three Immortal Marquises and one Immortal Venerable appeared, Qin Tianlong cried out impatiently.

He was terrified that Yang Xiao, like himself, was just another pawn the Immortal Dao needed.

So, he couldn’t afford to give him a chance.

Absolutely not.

The three Immortal Marquises exchanged glances, then looked toward the most powerful of them, the Immortal Venerable.

The Immortal Venerable looked at the anxious Qin Tianlong and smiled faintly. “Rest assured. From this moment on, we will satisfy all of your reasonable requests.”

“Really?”

Qin Tianlong was instantly thrilled.

“Of course. Long San, go kill that brat.”

The Immortal Venerable gave Qin Tianlong a small smile before ordering one of the Immortal Marquises beside him.

To him, Qin Tianlong’s only value was in killing the Qin Celestial Divine King.

A Divine King Level powerhouse, especially one who harbored ill will toward their Immortal Dao, was a target that had to be eliminated. After all, aside from the Lord of Immortal Dao whom they had never met, the strongest beings in the entire Immortal Realm were only at the Immortal Monarch Level.

The Immortal Monarch Level, in fact, was equivalent to a Divine King.

Such an existence would be considered a Duke anywhere.

Not to be underestimated.

And some terrifying, Eraless Divine Kings could even contend with a Great Emperor.

Although Qin Tian was not that kind of Divine King, he was still a Peak Divine King. More importantly, he had considerable potential and would likely become a Top-tier Divine King in the future.

To be able to kill such a person, so what if they were ordered around a bit by this brat?

Besides,

the moment he appeared,

he had sensed killing intent and a trace of contempt directed at him and his group from that brat.

A person like that

was clearly hostile toward them, the Immortal Daoists.

In fact,

within the Martial Dao, there were plenty of people hostile to the Immortal Dao—like the Qin Celestial Divine King they intended to kill using Qin Tianlong.

He was just such a person.

They would usually deal with people like that.

Now that they had run into one,

they certainly wouldn’t let him go.

Not to mention,

the fellow had delivered himself right to their doorstep.

‘It seems this brat thinks he can kill us? How laughable. He’s merely at the Sixth Layer of the Great Divine Power Realm. Even if he were a peerless prodigy, he’d only be on par with a Tier Two or Tier Three True God. Such arrogance. He truly overestimates himself.’

the Immortal Venerable thought to himself.

The Immortal Marquis he called Long San felt the same way.

He paid no mind whatsoever to Yang Xiao, who was walking toward him.

In fact, because Yang Xiao was approaching, this Immortal Marquis Level being actually stopped in his tracks.

It seemed he was waiting for Yang Xiao to deliver himself to his doom, to be swatted dead with a single palm strike.

Only Qin Tianlong

had a look of excitement mixed with smugness.

Watching Yang Xiao approach step by step,

he shouted, “Brat, you’re dead for sure this time! No one can save you! Death is your only way out!”

As he spoke,

he actually lunged at Yang Xiao.

This took Yang Xiao by surprise.

But soon enough,

he understood.

Because at that moment, Long San—who had stopped moving because he saw Yang Xiao approaching—finally made his move.

With a flash,

he appeared between him and Qin Tianlong.

He stood before Qin Tianlong, shielding him.

And through the body of this man called Long San, Yang Xiao could clearly see the smugness in Qin Tianlong’s eyes.

‘This guy is probably afraid I really have some connection to the Immortal Daoists. Is that why he’s doing this?’

Yang Xiao chuckled softly.

His guess was correct.

In fact, in Qin Tianlong’s eyes, Yang Xiao’s proactive approach meant that he must also have some agreement with the Immortal Daoists. That was why the man was acting so desperately.

First, he tried to negotiate with the descended Immortal Venerable.

Then, he put himself in harm’s way.

All to provoke the Immortal Marquis Level Long San into action.

His goal was singular.

To stop Yang Xiao from speaking.

And at the same time,

to have him killed.

‘With this Immortal Envoy taking action, he’s a dead man.’

he thought smugly.

His gaze,

however, drifted to Nangong Yin, who was standing behind Yang Xiao.

His mood instantly grew feverish.

But at that very moment,

a figure

suddenly appeared before him.

It was Yang Xiao.

For some reason, this guy who was supposed to be targeted by Long San had just appeared right in front of him. Qin Tianlong’s expression changed drastically.

Just as he was about to cry out,

he saw

Yang Xiao slowly raise his hand.

One finger

tapped the spot between his eyebrows.

Immediately after,

everything—his flesh and blood, his aura, even his very Soul—

at that instant,

all began to burn.

“No—”

Filled with unwillingness, shock, disbelief, and a trace of confusion, Qin Tianlong went up in flames.

And at that moment,

the nearby Immortal Venerable

wore a grim expression.

After going through so much trouble to get this twisted illegitimate son to agree to their terms and become a pawn for the Immortal Dao, he was killed right in front of him.

This was simply unforgivable.

‘This brat deserves to die!’

he roared internally.

The Immortal Venerable’s gaze immediately fell upon Long San.

And Long San, the man he had sent to kill Yang Xiao, had also snapped back to reality at this point.

‘I was too careless.’

‘I actually let a little brat slip away.’

And not only that,

he even let that brat kill an important figure like Qin Tianlong.

‘But just now…’

Thinking about how the brat’s aura had suddenly vanished without a trace, Long San was still puzzled. He had clearly locked onto Yang Xiao’s aura.

He was ready to strike at his slightest movement.

But just now,

he had somehow lost track of Yang Xiao’s aura.

That was the only reason the boy had an opportunity.

But none of that

mattered anymore.

‘Kill him. Only by killing him can I even begin to atone for my mistake.’

Knowing this deep in his heart,

Long San made his move.

This time,

there was no longer any trace of contempt.

He attacked with his full strength.

Even though, in his opinion, it was deeply humiliating for a magnificent Immortal Marquis Level being like himself to go all out against a Martial Daoist who wasn’t even a Demigod.

But now was not the time to worry about such things.

He had to grind Yang Xiao’s bones to dust.

However,

just as he acted,

Yang Xiao acted as well.

In his hand,

suddenly,

appeared a longsword, pitch-black with dark red patterns running along it.

The aura of this sword

was exceptionally powerful.

At the same time,

Yang Xiao’s own aura changed, transforming to the level of Divine General Peak.

He had activated the Divine General Talisman.

The Divine General Talisman was active.

The Bloodthirsty Divine Sword was in his hand.

And this was a Bloodthirsty Divine Sword that had just advanced to a Mid-grade Divine Artifact.

With a single slash,

Yang Xiao cut Long San down where he stood.

Immediately after,

his body flickered,

and he appeared before the other three Immortal Daoists.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

It was three slashes.

These three Immortal Dao Powerhouses—one Immortal Venerable and two Immortal Marquises—

were considered high-level existences even within the Immortal Dao.

In an instant, Yang Xiao cut them down where they stood.

All of them, dead!

Their bodies then transformed into streams of energy,

which were absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword.

This scene

caused Nangong Yin, who was watching from the side,

to freeze completely, stunned.

Yang Xiao, however, just smiled.

Just as he was about to speak, several strange fluctuations of energy

suddenly appeared,

lunging toward Yang Xiao to kill him.
