Chapter 2768 - 2771: The Four Frost Fiends and the Art of Feigned Death

"Brother Yu is so strong!"

Huyan Lan’s eyes were all heart-shaped.

"Yes, he is too strong. His sword technique is unmatched in the entire Chen Dynasty.

Compared to a certain useless person, it’s really worlds apart."

Huyan Hong glanced at Tuo Ba Yu, then at Ling Xiao, and sighed.

How could there be such a huge gap between people?

"You two girls must be Alan and Ahong from the Hulan Clan, right? It’s been many years since we last met, and you’ve grown to be so graceful."

Tuo Ba Yu sheathed his sword and walked over as if nothing had happened, smiling.

"I didn’t expect Brother Yu to still remember us."

Huyan Hong’s pretty face flushed, feeling her heart pounding rapidly.

"Of course, I remember. Heading to the Talbot Clan should be safe now.

I have some matters to attend to and must leave first.

But I have to warn you two sisters, don’t be fooled by some worthless pretty boys.

Some people seem harmless but are full of deceitful intentions."

When Tuo Ba Yu spoke, he was staring at Ling Xiao.

This guy really holds a grudge. Ling Xiao refuted him with just one sentence, and he labeled him as a scoundrel.

"Brother Yu, don’t misunderstand. We have nothing to do with him. We just accidentally saved his life. He’s called Tuo Ba Ling, claiming to be from the Tuoba Clan."

Huyan Hong hurriedly explained.

"Tuo Ba Ling? Never met him."

Tuo Ba Yu sneered, "I don’t know why you’re impersonating my clan’s surname, but you’d better remember that crossing the Tuoba Clan makes those bandits your example."

"This is ridiculous. Does only the Tuoba Clan have the right to the surname Tuoba, and others have to change theirs?

Even the Emperor wouldn’t dare such a thing."

Ling Xiao retorted sarcastically.

"Sharp-tongued. Hmph, let’s hope it’s just a coincidence."

Tuo Ba Yu snorted coldly, bowed gracefully to Huyan Hong and Huyan Lan, and once again vanished into thin air.

He came like a shadow, left like a wisp, truly free-spirited.

Seeing this made the two girls’ hearts flutter.

As soon as Tuo Ba Yu left, Huyan Hong turned to Ling Xiao coldly and said, "You’re shameless!

Someone saved your life, and you don’t even say thank you, then you dare to talk back.

Comparing you to Brother Yu is like comparing a toad in a stinky ditch, making people sick."

Ling Xiao looked at Huyan Hong indifferently and said, "You’re wrong. Maybe he saved you, but he didn’t save me.

Nor did he save Alan or those two guards.

As long as I’m here, they won’t be in any danger. You’re the only one I can’t be bothered with."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. During the fight, you were cowering to the side, and now that all the bandits have been killed, you act all arrogant?

People like you are utterly shameful."

Huyan Hong burst out laughing.

Even Huyan Lan felt embarrassed, and at this moment, she thought Ling Xiao was all talk with no real skill.

"Shameless? Well, if you get into trouble later, don’t come crying to me!"

Ling Xiao mocked.

"Ask for your help? Even if I were to die, I’d never ask you!"

Huyan Hong shouted, her voice echoing through the valley.

"I advise you not to speak too soon. Tuo Ba Yu is an idiot.

To really think none of his opponents would survive with one sword strike? The Frost Cold Four Oddities have been cultivating a special Secret Technique since childhood, called ’Shuang Leng Jue’.

It can instantly increase their defense by dozens of times and put them in a state of feigned death.

Pathetic that fool didn’t even consider that, thinking he had killed all the Frost Cold Four Oddities."

Ling Xiao calmly looked at the four bodies lying frozen on the ground, speaking in a flat voice.

"You’re talking nonsense!"

Huyan Hong exclaimed loudly, "To tarnish Brother Yu’s name, you’d even make up such lies, really..."

But she didn’t finish her sentence, for her neck was caught.

Behind her, stood four silhouettes.

These were the Frost Cold Four Oddities.

"Hahaha, who would have thought, although you’re a waste, you’ve got a keen eye, knowing about the Shuang Leng Jue. But so what, today, besides the two girls, all of you will die.

That Tuo Ba Yu is truly an idiot, I’ll definitely avenge myself on him someday, but today, let’s play with these two girls first."

The laughter came from the big head of the Frost Cold Four Oddities.

"He’s an idiot, and you four are just as foolish. If you’re going to play dead, wait until we’ve left before getting up.

Getting up now is seeking your own death."

Ling Xiao’s voice suddenly turned icy cold, filled with a murderous aura.

"Just you?"

The big head sneered.

"Indeed, just me!"

Ling Xiao replied calmly.

"Boss, why waste words with him? Old Three, go grab the other girl. Old Four and I will take care of the rest."

The second head gave orders.

"Alright."

The big head nodded.

Three figures suddenly lunged forward.

One headed towards Huyan Lan.

The other two rushed towards the two guards and Ling Xiao.

This scene startled Huyan Lan.

Even those two guards were shocked.

The Frost Cold Four Oddities were not something they could handle.

Fight to the death!

The two guards were ready to fight to the death, even if it meant sacrificing their lives to protect their masters.

But in the next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The second, third, and fourth of the Frost Cold Four Oddities suddenly stopped.

Each had a crimson mark on their throats.

Blood dripped, and all three died on the spot.

Ling Xiao’s sword flashed momentarily.

Although the two guards and Huyan Lan couldn’t see how Ling Xiao acted, they understood that Ling Xiao had saved them.

"You! How are you!"

The leader of the Frost Cold Four Oddities was trembling with fear.

"Am I that powerful?"

Ling Xiao mocked, "Did you really think without Tuo Ba Yu, you could defeat us?

How laughable.

If it were me, none of you four would have survived.

He’s dumb, and you’re dumber!"

"Damn it, I misjudged, but since this girl is in my hands, you’d better not act rashly, or I’ll kill her!"

The leader looked grim, realizing he wasn’t a match for Ling Xiao.

He no longer desired any woman, just wanted to survive.

"Do as you please, it seems she doesn’t value my skills anyway."

Ling Xiao replied nonchalantly.

"Little brother, I beg you, save my sister, please."

Huyan Lan cried out.

"Begging me is useless, she should ask me!"

Ling Xiao turned to Huyan Hong and said indifferently, "But didn’t she just say she’d never ask me, even if she were to die? How awkward."

"Please, please save me!"

Huyan Hong wasn’t as strong as she imagined.

She was just spoiled since childhood.

Now facing the threat of death, where would she dare to be stubborn?

"Am I no longer a waste now?"

Ling Xiao mocked.
