Chapter 35 - Removing the Last Obstacle
Now Xiao Lingchen’s strength has skyrocketed once again.
The Xiao family doesn’t have anything to help him.
So before they left, the members of the Xiao family only gave him a few words of advice before watching Xiao Lingchen and Ning Huanhuan leave.
At their current pace, it won’t be long before they return to the Taixuan Sect.
However, the Sect Martial Arts Tournament doesn’t start for another two days.
Xiao Lingchen is in no hurry.
Before returning to the sect, he had one more thing to do.
It was getting dark.
Xiao Lingchen took Ning Huanhuan to the depths of a remote forest.
There was a huge mountain fortress made of logs, covering an extremely large area and occupying several hills.
The heavy wooden door was studded with rusty nails and covered with all kinds of knife marks and battle scars!
Inside, a bonfire was burning, and tens of thousands of mountain bandits were singing and dancing, laughing and joking loudly.
This was in stark contrast to the weak women tied up in the corner, crying and begging for mercy.
“Who are you? How dare you enter the headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang!”
The thug guarding the entrance to the mountain fort found Xiao Lingchen and shouted at him with his sword raised.
Xiao Lingchen smiled and said,
“It seems that the information my second uncle gave me was correct.
During the three months he had stayed at home, Xiao Lingchen had not only been practicing.
He had asked his second uncle to help him find the location of the Black Tiger Gang’s headquarters. The purpose was to avenge the siege of the Xiao family three months ago and prepare to root out the gang and eliminate the threat forever!
As he spoke, Xiao Lingchen pulled out his Phoenix Emperor Sword.
In an instant, thousands of murderous auras rose up and enveloped the tens of thousands of square meters of the mountain village!
The laughter of the Black Tiger Gang members in the mountain stronghold suddenly stopped, and they felt as if they had gone from the heat of summer to the cold of winter in an instant.
“How dare you! What do you want?!”
The lackeys at the entrance of the mountain fortress were shocked and immediately brandished their swords, questioning him.
But in the next second, they were killed by Xiao Lingchen with a single sword stroke!
What Xiao Lingchen did immediately attracted the attention of the other members of the Black Tiger Gang in the mountain fortress.
Suddenly, a murderous intent arose everywhere.
“How dare you!”
“Who are you to show off in front of the Black Tiger Gang?”
“Kill him!”
The next moment, thousands of Black Tiger Gang members rose up in an attack!
Xiao Lingchen sneered from the corner of his mouth, unsheathed his sword, and charged into the crowd on his own, killing indiscriminately!
Ning Huanhuan behind him was also busy. There were many innocent people here who had been captured by the Black Dragon Gang.
In order to avoid accidental injuries, she had to rescue the captives as soon as possible.
And just then.
Suddenly, she felt several powerful auras.
Ning Huanhuan, who was rescuing people, couldn’t help but tremble in her heart.
When she looked back, she saw three powerful people with a strength above the sixth level of Dao Palace attacking Xiao Lingchen!
“Be careful!”
Ning Huanhuan hurriedly shouted.
Xiao Lingchen was not afraid at all. He twirled a sword flower in his hand and slashed straight at the three people!
In the blink of an eye, six corpses fell from the sky.
Until the end, the eyes of the three men were still open, unable to accept their deaths.
Obviously, they simply could not understand why the three of them, with the same late-stage Dao Palace realm strength, were no match for Xiao Lingchen alone.
Ning Huanhuan’s eyes were even wider, full of disbelief!
It was only at this moment that she realized.
In just a few months, Xiao Lingchen had become so strong!
Now, she fears that she is no match for Xiao Lingchen!
This made Ning Huanhuan involuntarily smile bitterly:
“How can there be such a demon in the world? I’m afraid that after a while, I’ll only be able to look up to him.”
Soon, Xiao Lingchen, with only one person and one sword, killed his way through the entire Black Tiger Gang.
Hundreds of thousands of Black Tiger Gang members fell in a pool of blood.
Among them were more than ten powerful Dao Palace realm cultivators!
And the whole process took less than half a quarter of an hour!
The leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Luo Xiaohu, went out to loot treasures with others today.
Halfway through fighting with others, he suddenly received the news that his house had been robbed, so he rushed back.
When he returned to the mountain stronghold, he found that hundreds of thousands of Black Tiger Gang members had all fallen in a pool of blood.
Looking at this scene of mountains of corpses and oceans of blood, Luo Xiaohu was so angry that his lungs exploded!
“Who!!!”
“Who the hell is it!!!”
At that moment, a red sword ray pierced through the night sky and slashed at him!
Luo Xiaohu quickly raised his sword to block it!
However, even though he had reached the strength of the Half-Step Breaking Delusion Realm, he was still knocked back hundreds of zhang by this terrifying sword energy!
Shocked, he looked up in the direction where the sword energy came from.
There, he saw a young man dressed in red and covered in blood running towards him with a sword.
“Are you Luo Xiaohu, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang?”
Luo Xiaohu’s eyes narrowed slightly:
“I am Luo Xiaohu.”
“And who are you?”
Xiao Lingchen said:
“Xiao Lingchen of the Xiao Family of Qingyun City.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaohu’s mind quickly recalled.
The next moment, his eyes showed shock:
“You’re not dead!”
To be honest, it hadn’t been that long ago, so of course Luo Xiaohu hadn’t forgotten.
A few months ago, he learned that Wind Gothic City, the stronghold of the three protectors of his Black Tiger Gang, had been decimated by a young man named Xiao Lingchen.
Furious, he sent the three protectors and hundreds of thousands of gang members to Qingyun City to settle the score with the Xiao family.
He had thought that both Xiao Lingchen and the Xiao family were already dead.
Who would have thought that today, Xiao Lingchen would appear in his stronghold and kill all the hundreds of thousands of gang members in his stronghold!
At this moment, he finally understood why he had not heard from any of his subordinates for more than three months.
I’m afraid they’ve already met with misfortune!
Upon realizing this, Luo Xiaohu stared at Xiao Lingchen with his eyes wide open:
“You killed all my men?”
Xiao Lingchen pointed his sword at Luo Xiaohu and said,
“Not only them, you will also die today!”
Luo Xiaohu suddenly laughed in anger:
“Hahaha!!!
“Good! Good! Very good!!!”
“I don’t know how long it’s been since someone dared to talk to me like this!”
“Kid, today I’ll let you know what happens if you insult me, Luo Xiaohu. I will make sure that you can’t even think about living or dying!”
At that moment, Luo Xiaohu’s anger completely exploded!
His cultivation, which was infinitely close to breaking through to the realm of shattering delusion, was unleashed, and he charged at Xiao Lingchen like a cannonball.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xiao Lingchen.
The tiger claws in his hands seemed to grab Xiao Lingchen!
“Damn!!!”
This was the first time that Xiao Lingchen had officially faced a powerful person of this strength.
It was also the strongest enemy Xiao Lingchen had ever encountered!
However, even though Luo Xiaohu’s cultivation was already infinitely close to the shattering delusion realm,
it was still only the Dao Palace Realm.
With Xiao Lingchen’s strength, even if a true Breaking Delusion Realm powerhouse arrived, would he be able to fight, let alone just Luo Xiaohu in the Dao Palace Realm?
His claw was easily blocked by Xiao Lingchen.
He swung his sword backhand and cut off his wrist!
“Ah!!!”
Blood spurted out, and the pain caused Luo Xiaohu to repeatedly scream and retreat.
At that moment, Luo Xiaohu realized the seriousness of the situation. This child in front of him was much stronger than he had imagined.
He deliberately widened the distance between him and Xiao Lingchen, looking for another chance to kill with one blow!
However, Xiao Lingchen did not give him a chance!
As Luo Xiaohu retreated, Xiao Lingchen also raised his sword and chased after him.
The next moment, the Phoenix Emperor Sword was plunged straight into Luo Xiaohu’s chest.
