Chapter 560 - 362: Then Kill

Chapter 560: Chapter 362: Then Kill

She and Qiuyue had grown up with Ling Xiao, and their feelings for him were likely deeper than anyone else’s. If anything were to happen to him, the two girls would probably commit suicide to follow him in death without a second thought.

Although they could sense how powerful the two opponents were, the girls still had great confidence in Ling Xiao.

Fengling gazed up dreamily at Ling Xiao, who was high above them. Remembering the embarrassing dream she’d had last night, her face flushed crimson. Just then, Yisha happened to look over, and Fengling was overcome with shyness.

Yisha chuckled lightly. "We can finally go home!"

"Yeah," Fengling murmured. "I heard the Shushan Sword Sect has gotten really big. Everything we’ve learned over the years can finally be put to use when we get back!"

She had received a letter from home a while ago. Her father, leading the members of the Qishan Sect, had finally obtained many Ancient Secret Manuals after paying a heavy price. Afterward, he moved the sect to a very secluded location to re-establish their headquarters. She believed that in the near future, the Qishan Sect’s name would be counted among the third-rate families!

Fengling’s father, Feng Yuan, had also heard of Ling Xiao’s strength, so he naturally wouldn’t oppose his daughter’s relationship with him. After all, the stronger the Shushan Sword Sect became, the more powerful a backer the Qishan Sect would have.

"Ling Xiao, you brought this on your—" Before Ouyang Hong could finish, his vision blurred, and he lost sight of Ling Xiao. ’Damn it, you think—’

SMACK!

AHH!

Ling Xiao viciously slapped Ouyang Hong across the face, nearly knocking the powerful Tier Five Sword Venerable unconscious! Ouyang Hong had just raised a hand to his face when, before the dumbfounded Ouyang Yu could even react, Ling Xiao landed another vicious punch, this time right in Ouyang Hong’s armpit!

A bloodcurdling scream erupted from Ouyang Hong’s mouth. In the next instant, a cold light flashed and blood splattered through the air as one of his arms was severed from his body. Ling Xiao followed up with a kick to his lower abdomen, sending his body flying like a leaf caught in a gale.

Ouyang Yu’s eyes looked ready to pop from their sockets. A Tier Five Sword Venerable had been defeated so cleanly and decisively, beaten to within an inch of his life. ’Is there even any point in fighting anymore?’ Before he could even begin to react, a giant, ink-black net radiating a terrifying aura and emitting a foul, gamey stench descended swiftly upon his head.

Ouyang Yu let out a terrified shriek. Although he didn’t know what the giant net was, it was obvious that this thing posed a threat to his very life!

In that instant, Ouyang Yu pushed his lifelong cultivation to its absolute peak. He even showed faint signs of breaking through the Tier Four Sword Venerable realm!

At the same time, an incredibly powerful aura erupted from his body, spreading out in all directions like a monstrous, rolling wave.

A translucent barrier suddenly rose up around Nia Academy down below. Ouyang Yu’s aura slammed into it, setting off a massive explosion!

Everyone in Nia Academy was left dumbfounded. It was only then that many of them truly understood just how powerful the three people fighting above them were. Their gazes toward the six beautiful girls at the entrance to the women’s dormitory were filled with disbelief and awe.

Ouyang Hong had been ambushed by Ling Xiao. With just one slap, one punch, one sword strike, and one kick, the Tier Five Sword Venerable had been all but crippled. Ouyang Hong could barely catch his breath as he roared furiously, "Despicable! Shameless! Vile!"

Ouyang Yu, however, was an expert of the Sword Venerable Realm. The Soul-Devouring Demon Net’s surprise attack had failed, allowing him a narrow escape. But before Ouyang Yu could even catch his breath to curse or threaten Ling Xiao, countless short swords, glinting with cold light, materialized around him. The swords formed a strange Sword Array, enclosing him in an impenetrable cage before beginning to activate!

Spinning forward, spinning in reverse! Slashing up, stabbing down!

Sweeping, slicing, piercing... Hundreds of short swords assaulted him in a frenzy!

A bone-chilling cold crept up Ouyang Yu’s spine all the way to the back of his head. Only now did he understand how Ling Xiao had managed to rise so meteorically in the Mortal World in just a few short years. Success is no accident!

But now, it was too late for regrets.

Ouyang Yu summoned every ounce of his concentration to deal with the endless attacks from within the Sword Array.

Meanwhile, a beam of red light shot from Ling Xiao’s mouth, streaking like lightning toward the half-crippled Ouyang Hong!

’Either don’t fight at all, or fight to kill.’

’Leave absolutely no loose ends!’

Ling Xiao stared coldly at Ouyang Hong and uttered a single word, "Die!"

Ouyang Hong gathered all his remaining power to form an incredibly solid protective barrier, roaring, "Ling Xiao, the Ouyang Family will not let you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the red light pierced his protective barrier and shot straight through his heart. In that instant, all of his power... vanished!

A clear eagle’s cry echoed from the sky. A flash of white light passed, and Ouyang Hong’s body was gone.
