"Devil! Devil! "
The assassin muttered to himself. He had already gone completely insane.
"How can someone with such poor mental fortitude be an assassin? In my opinion, the assassins of the Five Poison Hall and the Divine Phoenix Hall are too useless."
After saying this, Ling Xiao withdrew that evil aura and pointed a finger at the fourth Grotto Heaven realm assassin.
Logically speaking, with his current cultivation, it wasn't impossible for him to kill a fourth Grotto Heaven realm expert, but it shouldn't have been so easy.
The problem lay in that terrifying dark demon sword of his.
That evil aura combined with his powerful Soul Energy could corrode a person's heart.
"You won't even let off someone who's gone insane?"
"What do you know? That's what great kindness is. Since he's gone insane, he should be killed to end his suffering. Lunatics and mental patients are the most dangerous existences in this world."
After a long period of shock and fear, the crowd finally regained their composure. They looked at each other and started to talk amongst themselves.
Ling Xiao paid no attention to the conversations of the crowd. Instead, he raised his foot and walked toward Jia Tianfeng.
As for Kongming, that was secondary.
After dealing with Jia Tianfeng, he would deal with Kongming.
His step caused Jia Tianfeng to jump up like a startled rabbit.
That artificial limb of his was truly nimble. There was no problem in using it at all.
"Ling Xiao, don't kill me. You can't kill me. The Righteous Alliance will definitely kill you. Do you think it's worth it? You're willing to sacrifice your life for a piece of trash like me? "
Jia Tianfeng admitted defeat.
He was thoroughly terrified.
Ling Yue, the five dogs, and the assassins of the Five Poison Hall had all died to Ling Xiao's sword in an instant. Just how terrifying was this sword technique that made one's hair stand on end?
Ling Xiao didn't say anything. He only smiled coldly. He wanted Jia Tianfeng to die in fear.
He had never felt the slightest bit of sympathy when dealing with his enemies.
This was also the reason why his enemies feared him.
Jia Tianfeng would never forget Jia Yun.
Back then, Jia Yun had been too arrogant and conceited, resulting in Ling Xiao killing him.
Although the current him was stronger than Jia Yun in all aspects of cultivation.
However, Ling Xiao had also become stronger.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. Why did he try to assassinate Ling Xiao?
Why did he do such a foolish thing?
Wasn't it better to live well?
Why did he have to take the lead?
Right!
Ling Xiao's words. 'As long as I reveal who's behind the scenes, I can live.'
'No, I can't reveal'. '
That person was ten times more terrifying than Ling Xiao. If he said it out loud, he would definitely die.
But what could he do now? Could he just wait for Ling to come and kill him?.
Just as he was feeling lost and hesitant, he suddenly heard Kongming's voice.
"Ling Xiao, I didn't bribe an assassin to kill you. Although I hate you, I can't do such a despicable thing. Jia Tianfeng pulled me along just to give me some courage."
...
.....
Jia Tianfeng looked at Kongming in disbelief. They had clearly agreed to shoulder the burden together. How could this guy betray him so easily in the end?
"Oh? Then do you know who instructed Jia Tianfeng to hire assassins to kill me? I don't need a definite answer. You just need to tell me a clue, and I won't kill you. "
Ling Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked at Kongming with a smile.
Kongming hesitated.
"Kongming, don't be stupid. If you tell me, we'll all die."
Jia Tianfeng roared.
"Idiot, do you think we can live if you don't tell me?"
Kongming glanced at Jia Tianfeng in disdain. Although the mastermind was terrifying, he might be killed immediately if he didn't tell him now.
Therefore, he had to tell him.
"Kongming, you have to think carefully. If you tell me, not only will you die, but your entire family might be destroyed."
Jia Tianfeng said again.
Kongming was stunned when he heard this.
"Jia Tianfeng, you mean to say that I won't touch your family?"
Ling Xiao indifferently looked at Jia Tianfeng and said, "Although you call yourself an orphan and were adopted by the Jia Clan, I know that your surname is Dark Phoenix and that you are a member of the Dark Phoenix Race. Your parents were killed by the Ice Phoenix Race, but your grandmother is still alive. It was she who ordered you to infiltrate the Righteous Alliance and seek revenge.
But you don't plan to deal with the Ice Phoenix Race, and instead make an enemy out of me, a human from the Celestial Dragon Continent. Not only have you failed to live up to your grandmother's high hopes, you've also implicated her. "
"You madman! You can't touch my grandmother!"
Jia Tianfeng panicked.
"So you're a filial child. Do you understand now? Whether you tell me or not, you'll die. But at the very least, I can guarantee that as long as you tell me, I can guarantee that your grandmother won't die. But if you don't tell me, the first person I'll kill will be her."
Ling Xiao casually spoke as if this was a very ordinary matter.
"Damn, this scoundrel is too despicable! He's using someone else's grandmother to threaten him."
"Despicable my ass! Wasn't Jia Tianfeng despicable when he found someone to assassinate Ling Xiao? Does a good person deserve to not be feared? "
"That's right! If Ling Xiao was a good person, a kindhearted person, then not only would Jia Tianfeng not die, he would continue to target him!"
"That's true. Ling Xiao was able to live until today precisely because he doesn't have those hypocritical tears and piss, and he certainly doesn't have those pointless Virgin Mary complexes!"
There were still some people in the crowd who understood.
Those who lived in the underworld naturally understood what sort of people lived the most easily and what sort of people died the quickest.
"Fine, I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Jia Tianfeng was finally intimidated by Ling Xiao's evil aura.
He planned to tell everything and then leave it to the heavens. At the very least, Ling Xiao was a man of his word. Since he had said that he wouldn't harm his grandmother, he definitely wouldn't.
"Young Master Jia, there are some things that are better left unsaid. Otherwise, no one can help you!"
Just when Jia Tianfeng had almost completely given up and was about to tell everything to Ling Xiao, a cold voice came from the crowd.
Then, a person slowly walked out. He was about forty years old and dressed like a scholar. However, his body was emitting an intense killing intent.
Ling Xiao slightly frowned. This person should be a fourth Paradise Realm expert. However, his aura was much stronger than that of the assassin.
There were many reasons why there was such a huge difference in strength between two people of the same cultivation level.
Martial Spirit, Cultivation Method, Martial Skill, Paradise Realm, all of these were possible.
However, it was undeniable that cultivation level was not the only factor that measured a person's strength.
"Steward Jia!"
Ling Xiao naturally recognized this person. He was the person in charge of Ling Yue Courtyard, Steward Jia. He usually didn't show up. Even if an Emperor or a Crown Prince came, he might not appear.
However, today, he had no choice but to appear.
This was because Jia Tianfeng couldn't withstand Ling Xiao's threat and was about to reveal a very troublesome matter.
Seeing Steward Jia, Jia Tianfeng, who had originally been in complete despair and had planned to tell Ling Xiao everything, suddenly changed his expression.
"Uncle Jia, he used my grandmother to threaten me. I didn't want to say anything at all."
