Chapter 14749 My Name is Blade Madman
Just then, a calm voice suddenly rang out from the shadows:
"Gentlemen, are you heading to the Realm of Nirvana to make your fortune?"
The four of them were startled and turned their heads sharply.
A figure wearing a silver mask slowly walked out, his aura calm and unremarkable, yet he exuded an unfathomable sense of oppression.
"Who are you?" Duan Ting asked, his hammer raised in a high alert.
The masked man smiled faintly: "Holy Hall, Blade Madman. I've heard that there's a Ling Xiao in the Realm of Annihilation who killed many of my Holy Hall members, so I'm going there specifically to meet him. If you gentlemen don't mind, why don't you come along?"
Duan Ting and the other three exchanged glances.
A moment later, Duan Ting grinned and said, "Alright, let's go together! We just happen to need someone who knows the way."
The masked man nodded slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
This person was none other than Ling Xiao.
"Brother Dao Kuang, since you're from the Holy Temple, why are you wearing a mask?" Duan Ting's gaze was intense and scrutinizing. Though he was rough and uncouth, he wasn't stupid. The sudden appearance of a Holy Temple expert at the edge of this boundary was something he had to be wary of.
Ling Xiao said calmly, "I've killed too many people, and I have enemies everywhere. Without a mask, I'll be surrounded and killed before I can walk three miles."
Duan Ting was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Interesting! It seems Brother Dao Kuang is quite a ruthless person!"
Fu Hai coldly questioned, "I've met several people from the Holy Temple, but I've never heard of you."
Ling Xiao glanced at him, his tone calm: "There are thousands of disciples in the Holy Temple, do you know them all?"
Fu Hai was speechless for a moment, his face stiffening.
Miao Lan quickly tried to smooth things over with a charming laugh: "Alright, alright, everyone has secrets when traveling. It's fate that Brother Dao Kuang is willing to travel with us. It's just..."
Her eyes flickered with a hint of probing, "We're going down there to kill Ling Xiao and seize the spoils, so Brother Dao Kuang, don't go easy on us."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth beneath the mask: "Don't worry, I want to kill him even more than you do."
This statement is perfectly reasonable and watertight. He is a member of the Holy Temple, and it is only natural for him to want revenge after Ling Xiao slaughtered the Holy Temple's powerful members.
Duan Ting nodded heavily: "Then it's settled! Brother Dao Kuang, lead the way. We'll go down and head straight for the Ba Tian Empire, and wipe out Ling Xiao's lair!"
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips.
You want to take over my stronghold? I'm afraid you'll come here alive, but not come back alive.
The group of five immediately set off, speeding towards the Realm of Nirvana.
In the hazy, chaotic space, five figures darted about at high speed.
Ling Xiao deliberately lagged behind by half a step, secretly observing the four people.
Duan Ting is the strongest, wielding twin hammers to shake the earth, and following the path of breaking all laws with sheer force.
Fu Hai Shi wielded a long spear, and his spear techniques were insidious and unpredictable.
Miaolan wielded a pair of short swords, her movements agile and graceful;
As for the silent youth, Duan Ting called him "Zhu Hua," a name that seemed extremely incongruous. He was also the weakest of the four, but his aura was as calm as water, and his foundation was exceptionally solid.
The four have very different styles, but they cooperate perfectly. No wonder they dare to set their sights on the Realm of Annihilation.
"Brother Dao Kuang," Duan Ting suddenly spoke, "Since you are a member of the Holy Hall, do you know the true strength of Ling Xiao?"
Ling Xiao's heart stirred slightly, and he said calmly, "His realm should only be the Realm Lord Realm, but his combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level. There are at least eight, if not ten, Realm Lord Realm cultivators who have died at his hands."
Duan Ting frowned: "That troublesome?"
Fu Hai scoffed dismissively: "Even if he's troublesome, he's just one person. With the five of us joining forces, are we afraid we can't take him down?"
Before the words were finished, a sharp, piercing sound of wind being torn apart suddenly rang out, like a sharp blade tearing through the chaos!
The five people stopped in unison, their auras instantly tensing up.
A streak of azure light descended from the sky, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, and landed steadily ten feet in front of them. Upon landing, it stirred up an invisible wave of air, scattering the surrounding chaotic mist in all directions.
It was a slender man dressed in a green robe, the hem of which fluttered without wind, and his body was surrounded by a highly refined wind aura that gleamed with a chilling light.
He had a pair of narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes with a gaze as sharp as knives. When he swept his gaze over Duan Ting and his group of four, a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth: "Who do we have here? It's just you bunch of trash, Duan Ting. You dare to come and linger on this border?"
Duan Ting's face suddenly darkened, his blood surging, and he gripped the twin hammers on his back tightly, gritting his teeth and saying in a deep voice, "Huang Jifeng! What are you doing here?"
Yellow Swift Wind!
Ling Xiao's heart stirred slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He had only heard Duan Ting and the others mention this person when he was on his way. He was a notorious and ruthless figure from outside the realm, known for his speed and possessing unfathomable mastery of the wind element.
He was ruthless and merciless, killing without hesitation, and his fearsome reputation was widespread. It was rumored that he once used his peak Saint Martial Realm strength to kill a lower-level Lord expert, making him a top-tier fighter in this outer boundary.
"What? You bunch of trash dare to plot against the Realm of Annihilation?"
Huang Jifeng stood with his arms crossed, his contempt almost overflowing. His gaze swept over Duan Ting's twin hammers, then glanced at Fu Hai's spear, and he sneered.
"Duanting, those two broken hammers of yours are only good for smashing small fry on ordinary days. If you really run into a tough opponent, how many ants can they kill? And Fuhai, that broken spear of yours is as dull as a fire poker. I'm afraid it can't even pierce a piece of paper, right?"
Fu Hai's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, the veins on his hand gripping the spear bulging, and he shouted sharply, "Huang Jifeng, you're courting death!"
"I'm courting death?" Huang Jifeng laughed loudly, his arrogant laughter causing the surrounding mist to churn. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and a slender yet sharp cyan wind blade condensed at his fingertips, shooting out without warning at an extreme speed!
Fu Hai was shocked and instinctively dodged to the side. His hair stood on end. The aura of that wind blade was too terrifying, and he could not afford to be careless!
The wind blades grazed his cheek, leaving a trail of blood, and then exploded with a bang on a boulder ten feet in diameter a hundred feet behind him!
Snap!
The incredibly hard boulder was instantly sliced in two by the wind blade, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, without even a trace of roughness, which was enough to show how terrifying the power of this attack was!
"That's it?" Huang Jifeng withdrew his hand, his tone even more sarcastic. "You can't even dodge a single blow from me with one-tenth of my strength, yet you dare to boast about robbing the Nirvana Realm? It's utterly disgraceful!"
The faces of Duan Ting and the other three were extremely grim, their auras dark and gloomy. However, they dared not make a move easily. They knew that their strength was far inferior to Huang Jifeng's, and that rashly attacking would only bring them trouble.
Ling Xiao stood aside, observing coldly. His eyes behind the mask were calm and expressionless, but his mind was racing.
Huang Jifeng's strength is indeed formidable. His speed, mastery of the laws, and attack power are all superior to Duan Ting and the other three. If they were to actually fight, even if Duan Ting and the other three joined forces, they probably wouldn't be his match.
But... isn't this exactly what he wanted? By using Huang Jifeng to get rid of Duan Ting and the other three troublemakers, he could avoid lifting a finger and reap the benefits without lifting a finger. It was a perfect scheme to kill with a borrowed knife.
