"I can submit to the Ninja Clan."
Ling Xiao suddenly revealed a smile, looked at Fei Mu and Fei Yun, and said, "Unless you kill Shi Long and those traitors!"
"Emissary, you must not believe that kid’s nonsense. He’s trying to use you."
Shi Long was truly terrified; he had never expected Ling Xiao to say such a thing.
"Enough."
Fei Yun said indifferently to Ling Xiao, "Although we value your talent, we will not kill those who have submitted to our Ninja Clan for it."
"Then there’s nothing more to talk about, no need for further words."
Ling Xiao said coldly.
"Honestly, I’m curious, what reasons do you have to refuse our Ninja Clan? Is the Ling Family truly that good to you?"
Fei Yun asked curiously.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath and then said very calmly, "Don’t you think the question you’re asking is very foolish?"
"What do you an?"
Fei Yun frowned.
"First, the kindness shown to by the Ling Family is not substantial, but they do owe a rebirth of gratitude. I, Ling Xiao, am not an ingrate. A favor small as a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring. These words are not just for show."
"Secondly, I am of the Human Race, and the hearts of those not of my kind will differ. The intentions of your Ninja Clan are clear from history. I am not accustod to being soone’s dog."
"Thirdly, under normal circumstances, I might indeed leave the Ling Family, as there are unfair treatnts that displease . However, at this critical mont of life and death, to defect would make the most despicable of n."
"As Ling Xiao, I do not seek to live with greatness, but to live without guilt in my heart!"
His voice was very flat, not filled with stirring passion.
However, the many people of the Ling Family who were listening felt as if they were hearing a wake-up call, thunderously resounding.
Those who stayed had a reason to stay.
Many of those who left hung their heads, overco with sha.
On the side of the Ling Family, Supre Elder Lingyin, who had always had a bias against Ling Xiao, was unexpectedly moved to tears.
In his life, he had misjudged two people: one was Ling Chen, whom he had esteed, but who turned into a traitor.
The other was Ling Xiao, whom he had ostracized, yet who stayed at the family’s most perilous ti, firmly deciding the will of the more than five hundred people who remained with inspiring words.
"Ling Xiao, if I survive this battle, I will dedicate all of my life’s work to you! I will not break my word!"
Ling Yin exclaid loudly.
"Us too!"
The other two Supre Elders also nodded in agreent.
At the crucial mont, none of the three Supre Elders betrayed the family, which raised Ling Xiao’s opinion of them, and the previous complaints didn’t seem so serious anymore.
"The four of us, at least one must survive and take him away!"
Ling Xiaotian suddenly said.
His voice was not loud, only audible to those nearby.
And this "him", without asking, everyone knew who it was.
"Let Ling Yin handle that, he’s the best at light-work skill."
"So be it. Ling Yin, rember, when you find the chance, take Ling Xiao away. Even though he does not carry the Ling Family’s bloodline, he is the future hope for the Ling Family."
This statent sounded contradictory, but it wasn’t. A family’s legacy doesn’t necessarily have to rely on blood relations.
Moreover, as long as Ling Xiao survives, he can certainly find a woman from the Ling Family’s collateral branches to marry, continuing the Ling Family’s legacy.
"Rest assured!"
Ling Yin simply nodded lightly; although he was injured, as a Martial ridian Seventh Layer Martial Master, he was not so easily incapacitated.
"It’s a pity, Ling Xiao, I laid out a path of life for you, and yet you chose a dead end."
Fei Yun sighed and said, "Your talent is heaven-sent, which is why the Ninja Clan values you greatly. However, by refusing our invitation, you will inevitably beco our enemy. We cannot sit by and watch you grow stronger, so you must die today!"
"Thinking you can easily achieve my death, I’m afraid you’re mistaken!"
Ling Xiao looked at Fei Yun, undaunted by the Martial Vein Seventh Layer’s imposing pressure.
"Ling Jiu! Ling Shisan! Your mont to make a contribution has arrived, go, kill Ling Xiao!"
Ling Jiu and Ling Shisan exchanged glances, both revealing smiles.
They had long wanted to kill Ling Xiao, but since the Ninja Clan wanted to recruit him, they dared not act rashly. Now, Ling Xiao was seeking his own death.
Kill!
Ling Jiu and Ling Shisan, two Martial ridians Sixth Level Martial Artists, suddenly made their moves. Their strengths were not much different, and their body movent techniques were extrely similar, so almost instantly, they closed in on Ling Xiao.
"Hahaha, this day next year will be your death anniversary, no one can save you!"
Ling Shisan laughed excitedly, his longsword trembling as he thrust its gleaming blade toward Ling Xiao.
Ling Jiu, though silent, also clenched his fists tightly, evidently ready to deploy the Ling Family’s top martial arts.
Indeed, no one could save Ling Xiao because the five hundred mbers of the Ling Family were surrounded, but Ling Xiao suddenly advanced instead of retreating, charging at Ling Jiu and Ling Shisan with Xiang Yun Bu.
These two sought his life, and he was just as eager for theirs.
Today they had beco sworn enemies, so why hold any reservations?
teor Sword Technique!
Overlord Fist!
Ling Shisan deployed a beginner-level top sword technique; in his hand, the longsword was like a teor, its gleam fleeting and extrely swift.
His cultivation level had reached the Martial Vein Sixth Peak, and the teor Sword Technique was at the Great Achievent Realm, the swift gleam of the sword sharp to the extre.
The sword had not arrived, but one could already feel the chill.
Ling Jiu deployed a beginner-level top fist technique, swinging his fists as though an Overlord had descended, majestic and extraordinary.
His strength was even greater than Ling Shisan’s, having reached the Martial Vein Sixth Peak, and his fist technique was close to the Perfect Realm.
Those fists, truly like cast iron, transford into two flood dragons, pouncing toward Ling Xiao.
The reason these two did not train in rare or superior top-level martial arts was due to their inadequate talent.
In this world, not everyone can cultivate rare or superior top-level martial arts.
Two experienced Martial Vein Sixth Peak Martial Artists together attacked a junior in the early Sixth Level Martial Vein.
Anyone could see that this was an unfair fight.
It could even be a slaughter!
That’s why the remaining mbers of the Ling Family were extrely anxious, but unable to help.
On the other hand, those who sided with the Ninja Clan felt that Ling Xiao was bound to die and thus saw no need to help.
"Finally, he’s going to die, this guy!"
Ling Chong clenched his fists, trembling with excitent. His first loss to Ling Xiao had been his most humiliating defeat.
He truly hated him; if it weren’t for Ling Xiao, he wouldn’t have lost face so badly.
"That’s right, my dad joining forces with your dad, killing him is just like playing!"
Ling Feng felt no sha, only pride.
"Serves him right, a guy who doesn’t know whether he’s alive or dead."
Ling Yu was sowhat excited too. She had followed Ling Feng to join the Ninja Clan and hadn’t expected to witness such drama.
As long as Ling Xiao lived, she felt humiliated and extrely uncomfortable.
She wanted Ling Xiao dead!
Only his death could dispel her inner demons!
However, these people were probably destined to be disappointed.
Facing Ling Shisan and Ling Jiu, Ling Xiao dared not take the slightest carelessness.
So from the beginning, he used "Soaring Cloud Steps·Young Dragon" and simultaneously executed "Bull Demon Art·Transformation".
With his exquisite body movent technique, he cleverly dodged the combined strike from Ling Shisan and Ling Jiu, earning precious ti to counterattack.
This scene appeared extrely perilous to the onlookers.
But what they didn’t know was that the apparently dangerous mont was completely within Ling Xiao’s calculations.
