The people of Emerald Wave Island spoke one after another, not taking Ling Xiao seriously at all.
It was as if they could take Ling Xiao's life at any time.
But then again, among these people, Seng Li was a tenth Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. As for the other two Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artists, one was at the second Grotto-Heaven Realm and the other was at the third Grotto-Heaven Realm.
No matter which one it was, they would not be at a disadvantage against Ling Xiao.
And the cultivation of the other martial artists was not low either.
With such a lineup, unless Ling Xiao had wings on his back, it was impossible for him to escape.
Because of this, they felt that Ling Xiao would die without a doubt. This was not surprising at all.
Suddenly, a blazing aura filled the entire dilapidated temple.
Sword light flashed around Ling Xiao's body and nine cauldrons floated above his head.
Sword Qi broke through the clouds and tore through the sky.
Murderous aura surrounded his body and rumbled with killing intent.
"If you wait for death, you can still leave an intact corpse. To think that you would try to fight back. How foolish."
One of the Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artists from Emerald Wave Island revealed a cold and disdainful smile.
He believed that Ling Xiao was able to save those captives in front of them purely because they had underestimated him.
But now, none of them underestimated him.
What could Ling Xiao rely on to break through the encirclement?
It was too unrealistic.
"Since he is courting death, let's send him to his death. Two Vice Island Masters and two Elders, rest at the side first. Leave this kid to us."
Three people walked out of the crowd.
Three half-step Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artists.
"It's Triple Primordial Sword!"
"Yes, if the three of them are alone, they might not be a match for Lifetaking Sword, Rose Sword, and Emerald Wave Sword. But if they join forces, even the strongest Emerald Wave Sword has to be wary. With them taking action, Ling Xiao has no way to survive."
These Emerald Wave Island disciples also knew of the grand battle on the long street. Ling Xiao had killed a Grotto-Heaven Realm martial artist.
But that matter was somewhat bizarre, so they did not believe it at all.
In their opinion, even if Ling Xiao had killed a Grotto Heaven realm martial artist, it must have been because the other party had been severely injured.
For example, today's Corpse Granny, Ling Xiao could definitely kill her and then announce his great achievements everywhere.
This was not true ability at all, but opportunism.
Of course, they still did not dare to underestimate Ling Xiao.
After all, even if 10% of the rumors were true, they still had to be careful. Otherwise, if they failed miserably, they would become a laughing stock.
"Ahhh ~ ~"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the crowd.
Then, Situ Hongyan appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
This was the second time she had stepped forward to protect others.
Although Ling Xiao might not need it, she felt that she couldn't just stand by and watch.
She hated the things that her sect had done. They had distorted the truth and misrepresented the facts. Not only had they failed to uphold justice for her, they had even made her suffer.
Her heart was as cold as ice.
"Situ Hongyan, are you crazy?"
Monk Li asked coldly.
"No, I'm not crazy. It's you who are crazy!"
Situ Hongyan shook her head gently and said, "Deputy Island Master, I was born in Emerald Wave Island, so I will not be an enemy of Emerald Wave Island. I only hope that you can let Ling Xiao go and let them go. Then, Situ Hongyan will commit suicide to apologize!"
"There's something wrong with your head!"
Monk Li scolded, "Is it worth it for an outsider?"
"I only know that when I was in danger, it was an outsider who saved me. That's enough."
Situ Hongyan nodded and said, "So, even if I die, it's only to repay his debt."
"Stupid. Do you really think we don't dare to kill you? Although you, Rose Sword Situ Hongyan, are a genius of Emerald Wave Island, there are too many geniuses in this era. We can still find a second or third Rose Sword, but you will be forgotten by the world like trash! "
Monk Li said coldly.
"Deputy Island Master, why are you so angry? Is it because I accused Corpse Granny? My dead senior brother and I are also disciples of Emerald Wave Island. Not only did you not stand up for us, but you also protected Corpse Granny. Is this the so-called justice you speak of? The so-called reason? "
Situ Hongyan's expression became cold.
She had always thought that she lived in a beautiful big family, but today's matter was somewhat unbearable for her.
"Let me tell you the truth, Situ Hongyan. Even if Corpse Granny did that kind of thing, you have to endure it!
Not to mention that she didn't kill you, even if she did, it doesn't matter. Although you are a genius, there's no way you can compare with her. "
Monk Li simply tore off his mask and said coldly, "Just like your lovely sister back then. She was more talented than you, but more innocent than you."
"Wasn't my sister defiled by pirates?"
Situ Hongyan's body trembled. She had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought of such a terrifying possibility.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no harm in telling you. Your sister was fancied by our Young Island Master, Mo Shaoyou, but she didn't know what was good for her. Our Young Island Master is a very domineering person. Naturally, he would force himself on her."
Monk Li sneered and said, "Of course your sister knew about the matter of framing the pirates. She even ran to the Island Master and asked him to uphold justice. How innocent and naive do you think she is? Didn't she understand that the Island Master is the Young Island Master's biological father? How could he punish his own son for her?"
Thus, the pirates became scapegoats and were killed.
In order to take revenge, your sister actually committed suicide in the Young Island Master's room.
Unfortunately, the first one to discover her was this old man, so this became a secret.
"Mo Shaoyou!"
Situ Hongyan's body emitted a cold aura. She had almost fallen into a state of madness.
She suddenly rushed forward and stabbed her sword at Monk Li.
Ling Xiao wanted to stop her, but he couldn't.
"Die!"
Monk Li didn't show any mercy.
A blooming flower was dazzled by this filthy hand.
Situ Hongyan flew backward with a terrible wound on her abdomen. It seemed that she wouldn't survive.
Ling Xiao didn't dodge because of the blood on her body. He jumped and caught Situ Hongyan. The killing intent on his face grew stronger.
At this moment, he really wanted to kill someone.
Situ Hongyan fell into Ling Xiao's arms. Her white clothes were dyed red with blood.
"I-I'm sorry. I-I was too useless. I was too impulsive."
She stood up to help Ling Xiao, but in the end, she was tricked by Monk Li because of her impulsiveness. As a result, she was seriously injured and didn't seem to be able to survive.
"Alas, you've never wronged me. Instead, your performance today really moved me. Even I can't do what you did."
Ling Xiao sighed.
He kept transferring his heavenly essence into Situ Hongyan's body in an attempt to save her.
But it was useless.
Monk Li was too ruthless. He didn't want Situ Hongyan to live.
