"Why are you crying, silly girl? Don't you have even a little bit of faith in your brother?"
The smoke had not yet cleared, and the dust was still swirling.
Yet Ling Xiao's teasingly confident voice could be heard.
Ling Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and excitedly looked forward.
Finally, a figure gradually erged.
Although Ling Xiao appeared very embarrassed, with both arms seemingly broken and his body drenched in blood.
He was undoubtedly the victor.
Because beneath his feet, Shen ng was now barely breathing, completely powerless and even struggling to breathe.
It seed that unless sothing unexpected happened, Shen ng was dood to die.
"Hahaha! Ling Xiao, you're alright!"
Ling Jiaojiao excitedly dried her tears and dashed forward.
Ling Yan, the Guarding Elder, Old Black, and Ling Yuhua were all utterly shocked and delighted.
This guy Ling Xiao had actually done it; he had knocked a martial artist with Yin-Yang Realm First Layer Hell Cultivation nearly to death.
Ling Yuhua also wanted to go over, but recalling Ling Xiao's earlier words, he imdiately halted.
Ling Xiao had told him not to move.
Even if Shen ng was killed, not to move.
Ling Yuhua didn't understand why, but out of trust for Ling Xiao, he remained still.
In the dense forest, fourteen of the Twenty-Four Thieves jumped out, encircling Ling Xiao and others, not even paying attention to Ling Yuhua who was imprisoned on the tree.
"Why are there only fourteen people?"
At this ti, the thieves realized sothing was amiss.
Their original plan was that if Shen ng were truly dead, they would kill the Ling Family and then take the Hell Fruits and leave.
But now the situation seed not quite right.
"Haha, mysteriously, ten died without you even noticing. How ridiculous. Co out, my Demon Corpse Soldiers!"
Ling Xiao chuckled coldly.
From within the dense forest, twelve figures erged.
It was the twelve who had been killed, including Shen San and Shen Si, along with ten of the missing Twenty-Four Thieves.
"Demon Corpse Soldiers!"
Not only were the fourteen thieves dumbfounded at this scene, but even the few Ling Family mbers were left speechless.
When did Ling Xiao learn such a secret technique to control human corpses?
How did he accomplish that?
Perhaps this was the strength of a Reincarnation Warrior.
Despite Reincarnation Warriors generally being able to retain their original martial arts, their cultivation level does not recover to the original realm, usually making them unusable.
Yet Ling Xiao seed not to follow this principle; he could use his original martial arts freely.
"Damn it! Kid, there are four Hell Fruits in total. How about we split them equally? If we fight now, although we'd suffer losses, you'd definitely not co out ahead."
One of the thieves clenched his teeth and said.
It seed these people did not consider their comrades' deaths a concern.
As long as they could obtain the Hell Fruits, losing ten people ant nothing, as they did not plan to avenge them.
All they wanted was the Hell Fruits to advance to the Yin-Yang Realm.
"Haha, what about now?"
Ling Xiao suddenly pressed a finger to Shen ng's forehead, and then a terrifying Demonic Annihilation Aura surged into Shen ng's body.
The already lifeless Shen ng stood up.
His eyes hollow and expressionless, yet he stared intently at the fourteen thieves.
"Jiaojiao, you don't need to worry about . Coordinate with the Demon Corpse Soldiers to annihilate the remaining fourteen thieves."
Ling Xiao sat down and began healing his injuries.
In the battle with Shen ng, he'd suffered significant injuries but felt a breakthrough was imminent.
However, his injured body was not fit for a cultivation breakthrough, so he needed to recover quickly before proceeding.
He still didn't let Ling Yuhua move, nor did he allow Ling Jiaojiao and the others to rescue Ling Yuhua.
Because at the mont the Hell Fruits matured, it might attract a more terrifying presence, and he didn't want his efforts to go in vain.
He even had the feeling that soone had been watching all along, but this person's cultivation was much stronger than his, and their concealing abilities were exceptional, making them unseen even with the Tai Chi Eye.
Therefore, he arranged certain setups, not targeting Shen ng and the others, but to handle any unforeseen events.
What Ling Jiaojiao and the others had just done was certainly not in vain.
With Shen ng, a powerful Yin-Yang Realm Demon Corpse Soldier, joining the battle, the fourteen thieves were dood.
Although they were strong and nurous, they were still killed one by one, eventually all losing their lives here.
"Twenty-Four Thieves, each head worth tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones. Collect them all."
Ling Xiao, while healing, called out.
Ling Yan and others began to remove the heads of the Twenty-Four Thieves, storing them in the Storage Ring.
Since the Storage Ring was frozen with icy air, these heads could be stored for a long period.
Then Ling Xiao continued to focus on healing.
No longer needing to control the Demon Corpse Soldiers, he saved himself a substantial consumption, allowing more focus.
Demonic Annihilation Aura consud a lot, and if not necessary, Ling Xiao would never have used it today.
Now that the enemies were defeated, he retrieved the Demonic Annihilation Aura injected into the corpses.
But just then, a strange cold laugh rang out from within the dense forest.
Ling Xiao suddenly grew alard, just as he wanted to stand, a dark shadow ca swiftly down from the sky like a black eagle, grabbing Ling Jiaojiao.
"Gaga, such good luck indeed. Originally, the superiors only ordered to capture the watchman of Yuhua Town, but I didn't expect to witness such a spectacle today.
Oh, and so many Hell Fruits.
If I take these back, I'm bound for success."
"Demon Shadow Sect!"
The mont this person appeared, Ling Yan suddenly exclaid.
Before his reincarnation, he was among the people of Xuanwu Continent and also active in the Western Region, hence he was quite familiar with the Demon Shadow Sect.
The Demon Shadow Sect belonged to Xuan She Demon Sect, certainly incomparable to Xuan She Demon Sect itself, but it stood above the Three Great Families in Eight Immortals County.
Moreover, the Demon Shadow Sect acted unpredictably and brutally, very cruel.
Ling Yan hardly paid attention to such small sects before his reincarnation, but now he had to be careful.
Such a sect was not sothing they could deal with now.
Martial artists of the Demon Shadow Sect bore tattoos on their wrists; a door covered in ominous patterns, so Ling Yan imdiately recognized them.
"Well, well, I didn't expect there to be soone who recognized among you. You must be a Reincarnation Warrior, no wonder you know I'm from the Demon Shadow Sect.
That's right, I am Mo Feng Zi, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Demon Shadow Sect!"
Mo Feng Zi looked at Ling Yan and said with a sly smile.
Looking at this person, Ling Xiao's mood suddenly intensified.
This Mo Feng Zi was even stronger than Shen ng, still a martial artist at the Yin-Yang Realm First Layer, but clearly at the pinnacle.
Whereas Shen ng could only be considered Late Stage of the First Layer.
As for Ling Yuhua, he was rely at the Interdiate Stage of the First Layer.
This difference was quite evident.
