OCCURRENCE

CHAPTER 301 - ETCHING

That small mountain range stretches for dozens of miles. The mountain range is filled with mountains. It is undoubtedly the best place to bury the four people behind it.

Zhao Lingxiao thought to himself as a sneer appeared on his face. A mountain peak meant that he would be able to escape from the four people behind for a long time in that small forest. During this period of time, he could set up a formation and kill the four people behind him. "As a star refiner, although he rarely uses formations to kill, it does not mean that he is not good at it.

Of course, with his current Star Refinement Spell, he would definitely not be able to carve out powerful killing formations. But without a doubt, drawing some supportive formations in a short period of time was more than enough. He had already decided which kind of feast he would prepare for the four people behind him!

Immediately after, Zhao Lingxiao increased the amount of true energy he channeled into his legs, increasing his running speed once again. He needed to open up some distance between himself and the other four in order to gain more time to draw the array.

When Sha Jin Yun and the other four arrived at the passageway, they immediately saw that Zhao Lingxiao was even faster than before. He had already ran out of the passageway, and was rushing towards the small hill in front of them.

Sha Junzhe frowned and hastily said, Could it be that this beast wants to escape to the main road of the small mountain in the Green Spirit Carriage and escape to the Spiritual Martial Academy?

Sha Jin Yun chased after him and said, That's not possible. Zhao Ling Xiao knew we had a car too. If we ran onto the main road, we would be dead. With our speed, it won't be long before we can catch up to his Green Spirit Carriage. When that happens, he won't be able to escape, Zhao Lingxiao isn't that stupid. From my point of view, he must have tried to escape into the hills and escape from us through the cover of the trees. However, Zhao Lingxiao probably forgot. Right now, he is running faster than us. That is because he has been using some kind of cultivation technique. He is using up a lot of his primeval essence, so it won't last long. When the time comes, all of his true energy will be depleted and he will not be able to create enough distance between us. Then, he will be reduced to nothing but meat on a weighing board, waiting to be slaughtered by us."

Although Sha Jin Yun didn't know how much true energy Zhao Ling Xiao had to consume every second of his cultivation technique, he knew that with such a fast speed, he was like a wild beast running. With Zhao Ling Xiao's true energy's abundance, holding on for an hour was already a heaven-defying feat!

And in an hour, he would not even be able to reach the middle of the forest. At that time, Zhao Lingxiao, who had exhausted all his elemental energy, would be waiting for death! The four of them could take it down with ease.

You Tiefeng nodded his head and said, This kid probably wants to escape into the forest. However, how does he escape after being seriously injured? He won't be able to escape death.

As far as he was concerned, Zhao Lingxiao was merely struggling at the brink of death. However, all this was destined to be in vain.

That's right, next year's day will be Zhao Lingxiao's memorial day. Once I catch him, I will break the tendons in his hands and feet first. Let him have a taste of the pain.

He still remembered the pain when Zhao Lingxiao broke his right arm and legs. Today, he must double pay it back to Zhao Lingxiao!

With that, the four of them continued their chase after Zhao Ling Xiao. Before long, they left the alley, crossed the street, and ran madly towards the small forest.

Zhao Lingxiao had already entered the forest. His chest was heaving and he was breathing heavily. Just as Sha Jin Yun said, executing the movement technique's portion of the Zenith Light Sword Technique consumed a huge amount of his energy. After running for such a short period of time, he noticed that he was about to consume 10% of his Origin Energy. Adding on the fact that using the full Zenith Light Sword Art from before had consumed 30% of his primeval essence, he only had 60% of his primeval essence left. If this continued, his elemental energy would run out in an hour. At that time, they would really be waiting for death.

Zhao Lingxiao's eyes were filled with an icy coldness as he watched the tree branches swiftly move backwards. What he needed to do now was to find a place where he could temporarily split apart the vision of the four people behind him and carve the formation.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick to burn, he climbed over a hill in front of him and arrived at the other side of the hill. He immediately saw a flat area at the foot of the hill.

Zhao Lingxiao smiled. He remembered that when he drove through the forest yesterday, every hill seemed to be covered with grass and there was an open space. He looked at a small hill across from him and had an idea. He would climb that hill and set up his formation.

He quickly ran down the mountain, sweeping past a large area of green grass, and headed towards the five hundred feet tall hill in front of him.

When Zhao Ling Xiao reached the foot of the mountain, Sha Jin Yun and his men happened to climb over a hill and saw Zhao Ling Xiao standing on the other side.

You ran pretty fast! Let's hurry up, otherwise we'll be too far away. We'll have to let Zhao Lingxiao hide, but we'll need some time to find him.

Sha Xing sneered as he led the three people and ran down the mountain.

Zhao Lingxiao, who was climbing up the hill, turned his head and saw the four men. He quickened his pace and climbed up the hill.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had already crossed the hill and arrived at the foot of the mountain. Without delay, Zhao Lingxiao took out a human-head-sized Spatial Stone from his storage ring. This Spatial Stone was the spoils of war he had gotten from Wan Liangjun. He had never had the chance to use it. Now it was just a big gift to the four people behind him.

Zhao Lingxiao crushed the Spatial Rocks into powder with his soul power and quickly began to draw on the green grass. This time, he was going to draw a Spatial Confinement type formation, called the Spirit Forbidden Formation. It was a Rank 2 formation, and although it was relatively simple to inscribe, its power was enormous. However, it consumed a lot of spirit stones.

He estimated that he would need at least a hundred thousand low-rank soul stones to confine the remaining four people. It wouldn't last for more than a quarter of an hour. Luckily, he had collected over 300,000 low-grade spirit stones from the Xuan Yu Auction House. Otherwise, what he would have drawn would not have been a spatial array, but a concealing array!

Half an incense stick of time later, Zhao Lingxiao had already finished carving the Forbidden Spirit Formation on the grass. Many white lines appeared on the ground, pressing the tall grass on the ground. It completely destroyed the orderly nature of the grass.

He had no doubt that if the four behind him were to run over and see the large amount of grass caving into the ground and forming strange patterns on it, they would definitely be suspicious.

Thus, Zhao Lingxiao took out a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones and poured them into the array, using it as the energy source for the activation of the array. He then took out a gray ore and used his soul power to grind it into powder. Then, he began to draw on his body. After a few breaths, he had drawn a small formation with a diameter of three feet. He took out another hundred low rank soul stones and threw them into the formation. Then, he slapped his right hand on the starting point.

Suddenly, the green grass that was filled with depressions returned to its original state. A large patch of grass was fluttering in the wind. The traces of the Spirit Forbidden Formation had completely disappeared as if it had never appeared in this world.

CHAPTER 302 - PERFORMANCE

With this, those four people won't be suspicious anymore. Let me put on a good show and have them obediently step into the formation. Hehe.

Zhao Lingxiao had drawn a small scale magic array just now, and this was the first order magic array. After activating the array, the power of the array would cover an area of 200 feet, transforming the scenery within 20 feet into the same scenery as the surrounding 400 feet. This was the purpose of masking one's vision. Then, he stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and wiped it on the clothes in front of his chest, so that the four people who were about to arrive would think that he was still seriously injured. In actuality, after he was healed by the Spring-Returning Pill, his serious injuries from before had healed to seventy percent.

After doing all of this, Zhao Lingxiao deliberately covered his chest with his left hand, the sword in his right hand. After doing all of this, Zhao Lingxiao deliberately covered his chest with his left hand, the sword in his right hand. He then turned around and stared coldly at the hill in front of him. His chest was slightly bent, as if he was seriously injured and had yet to recover. He was waiting for the four of them to appear.

Moreover, in order to make the four of them relax their vigilance, he purposely concealed his true energy. If others were to sense his true energy, they would only feel that he had consumed less than half of it.

Not long after, the figures of Sha Jin Yun's group of four appeared on the mountain top in front of them.

The four of them saw Zhao Lingxiao standing on the grass with a cold look on his face. His eyes revealed the intention to die, as if he was a warrior that was about to die.

Sha Jin Yun sneered, "Hmph, this kid knows he's running like this. Sooner or later, he'll be caught by us, and then his primeval essence will be completely used up. He won't even have the chance to defend. I don't want to run anymore. Maybe I want to fight to the death.

The other three nodded their heads and quickly followed Sha Jianyun down the mountain.

When the four of them were about fifteen meters away from Zhao Lingxiao, Sha Jin Yun laughed out loud with a vigilant look, Kid, why aren't you running anymore? Don't you know how to run, hehe.

Just now, when he tried to sense around, he found that Zhao Lingxiao's true energy was already less than 50%. Furthermore, his mouth was full of blood stains, and his entire body was dispirited; clearly, he had yet to recover from his severe injuries. Such a state further confirmed his conjecture, which was to provoke Zhao Lingxiao.

Zhao Lingxiao shouted in anger, You are going too far! First, you hurt me in the academy, and now that you are out of the academy, you want me to die?! Don't let me escape today, or else I'll definitely go to the academy's teachers and sue you Sha Family and You Family. I want to see how the academy will punish you two big families.

Pah! Zhao Lingxiao, you're still dreaming! Under the siege of the four of us, you think it's possible for you to escape? Furthermore, your current strength is no longer at your peak, and you're severely injured. I advise you to obediently surrender. At that time, we will be able to mercifully spare your life! Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead. "

Sha Junzhe said coldly, looking at Zhao Lingxiao with a mocking expression in his eyes. Right now, they were only a hundred and fifty meters away from Zhao Lingxiao. Once the battle started, they could encircle Zhao Lingxiao in the blink of an eye, making it impossible for him to escape.

You're going too far. No matter how we bully you, we can't compare to you. If it wasn't for you, my senior brother and I would not have been expelled from the Spiritual Martial Academy. Furthermore, you broke three of my limbs, and the pain of my bones shattering is so intense that I can't forget it. In terms of ruthlessness, you're not any weaker than us, and your Senior Brother's arm was cut off by you. Talking about bullying us is extremely laughable! "

You Xing said fiercely. His eyes were full of hatred as he stared at Zhao Ling Xiao. It was as if he wanted to tear him into a thousand pieces. These days, he did not forget the humiliation Zhao Lingxiao had brought him. He hated Zhao Lingxiao to the core.

Zhao Lingxiao was anxious and said loudly, If it were not for the two of you crippling my Qi Sea, how could I have resisted so fiercely? After all, you were the ones who attacked me first, I am only protecting myself! All of you who have ended up like this have brought it upon yourselves.

"Hmph, you are just a lowly commoner from a remote place. You dare to offend the city lord's residence? You are courting death. It is only natural for Senior Brother and I to break your Qi Sea, and to a certain extent, we even saved your life. Not only do you not appreciate my kindness, you even dare to brazenly resist, and even caused us to be expelled from the Spiritual Martial Academy.

He had never thought that he was wrong in breaking through Zhao Lingxiao's Aura Sea. Zhao Lingxiao was a commoner that came from a remote place. In the Four Directions City, he was considered inferior to the local people, not to mention the people from his family. In his view, teaching a lowly commoner a lesson was completely natural, not to mention that he and his senior had acted on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion. That was even more reasonable.

Saying you are a lowly commoner and yet you are living on the land of the Four Directions City? You truly think yourself to be a high level race. Staying in the well and observing the sky; such a joke is extremely laughable.

Zhao Lingxiao sneered. He was speechless for his arrogance. Compared to the entire Southern Domain, the Four Great Cities were like a small place. Just for a single place like this, a member of the clan was so confident that he was superior to others.

It's not funny. I don't know. What I know is that today, you will have to pay the price for your actions. Don't worry. After I capture you alive, I'll break your limbs and slowly crush your limbs. I'll let you have a taste of the pain. You dare to fight against us? You're just looking to die.

You Xing said with a sarcastic tone, looking at Zhao Lingxiao as if he was looking at a dead man.

Sha Junzhe continued, Junior Brother, don't forget about me. I happened to have some man-eating ants growing in my family recently, so after you take care of Zhao Lingxiao, you can hand him over to me and throw him into the pile of man-eating ants. Only by letting him experience the pain of ten thousand man-eating ants devouring his heart and slowly die in despair will he be able to dispel the hatred in my heart. A lowly commoner from a remote place dares to step on the head of my Sha family. How reckless."

These days, because of his expulsion from the Spiritual Martial Academy, the Sha Family and his parents had been ridiculed by the other large families and lost all their face. What Zhao Lingxiao did that day not only harmed him, but also the Sha Family.

At this moment, You Tiefeng suddenly interrupted, This kid might be stalling for time. We need to capture him alive in case something unexpected happens.

Sha Jin Yun replied, Alright, but be careful. I'm guessing that this kid won't submit obediently. He'll definitely fight back with his life on the line.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Lingxiao's face broke into a bitter smile as he roared, You want to kill me? It won't be that easy!

With that, he circulated the true energy within his body, covering his body with true energy and preparing to launch a violent attack.

CHAPTER 303 - IMPRISONING

When Sha Jin Yun saw this, he said coldly, Brother Tie Feng and I will lead the charge. Junzhe, you guys take the lead. Be careful of his attacks.

The other three nodded their heads. Then, Sha Jin Yun and You Tiefeng flanked Zhao Ling Xiao from the left and right. Sha Junzhe and You Xing waited for a moment before they rushed towards Zhao Lingxiao.

Within two breaths, the four of them stepped into the formation.

At this point, Zhao Lingxiao shouted, Ah!

The four of them charged forward with their swords held in front of them, raising their alertness to the fact that Zhao Lingxiao was indeed risking his life. However, just as Zhao Lingxiao took three steps forward, something happened that caused the four of them to be shocked. Zhao Lingxiao suddenly crouched down. He stretched out his left hand and smacked the ground with his palm.

Immediately, the ground began to glow with a resplendent white light, forming streaks of light that intertwined with each other.

As for Sha Jin Yun, You Tiefeng, Sha Jun Zhe, and You Xing, they felt as if they were being tangled by ten thousand jin boulders and couldn't move a single step. They suddenly stopped in their tracks. Moreover, they discovered that not only were their feet unable to move, they were also unable to move the true energy within their body. It was as if the true energy within their body had been sealed off in an instant! In other words, from now on, they were no different from ordinary people. At most, they would be stronger.

Seeing the traces of white light around him and sensing his strange condition, Sha Jin Yun somewhat panickedly shouted, What is this thing?

Sha Junzhe trembled as he shouted, Fifth Uncle, bad news! I am unable to mobilize the true essence within my body!

You Xingwen also fearfully said, I can't channel the true energy in my body, nor can I move my legs.

The feeling of being bound made him feel scared again. It was because this place was deserted and the only person who could do all this was Zhao Lingxiao! They could not move their legs, nor move their elemental energy. Didn't that mean that they could only allow themselves to be slaughtered by Zhao Lingxiao? Thinking of this, his body couldn't help but tremble.

You Tiefeng's expression was cold. He discovered that the situation had reversed in an instant. Although they had a large number of people, they were unable to mobilize their true energy. Compared to ordinary people, they only had slightly more strength. Furthermore, their legs were bound by an invisible force, making them unable to move. They were no different from targets. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Ling Xiao. He noticed that Zhao Ling Xiao was slowly standing up, patting the dust on his body with a smile that was not a smile on his face as he looked at the four of them. A bad premonition flashed across his heart as he asked anxiously, "Is this a trick of yours, Zhao Lingxiao?

Hearing the voice, the other three also fixed their eyes on Zhao Lingxiao. He nodded slightly and said softly, A trick, it's not exactly a trick, but it took some time for me to carve a Forbidden Spiritual Array at your feet, then add a concealment array to the side. Together with my supreme performance, you will obediently step into the array!

What!? A Spiritual Sealing Array. Could it be that this is a formation? "

Formation? Zhao Lingxiao is only a martial artist, why would he draw a formation to scare people? "

Impossible, what kind of formation could bind our four warriors? Two are at the 2-star Frost realm, and two are at the 6-star Frost realm. Normal formations cannot do such a thing, and high-grade formations are not something that Zhao Lingxiao can create.

This is unrealistic. Zhao Lingxiao is just a martial artist, how can he carve the formation? He must have lied to us and disturbed our minds. This so-called restriction might just be some unknown trick. "

The four of them said in unison, their eyes filled with disbelief. In their eyes, Zhao Lingxiao was a 2-star Condensing Ice Realm disciple, he had no relationship with the Star Refinement Realm, so how could he draw the array? Not to mention a formation that could trap all four of them at once. Wasn't this a fantasy story?

Zhao Lingxiao smiled and said, I forgot to tell you, before I came to the Spiritual Martial Academy, I had another identity. I am a level two star blacksmith, and when I was in the Green Leaf Town, the locals addressed me as Grandmaster Lingxiao. As for my identity as a 2-star Condensing Ice Realm disciple, you should know it as well. And the Forbidden Spiritual Array trapping you guys, is indeed not a very brilliant array. It is only an ordinary Rank 2 spatial imprisonment type array. However, it had one advantage, which could also be considered a weakness. That was, it could consume a large amount of spirit stones, producing an extremely powerful might. In order to trap the four of you, I spent 100 thousand low-grade spirit stones in one go. See the light under your feet? Aside from the runes of the formation, the rest of the light is from the spirit stones.

Upon hearing the sound, the four of them hurriedly looked down and saw that other than the bright lines on the floor, the floor was filled with spirit stones, all of them emitting a faint white glow that provided the formation with a steady stream of spirit energy. Thinking of the fact that they were trapped and even had their true energy sealed, the four people's faces couldn't help but turn pale.

After Sha Jin Yun accepted the fact that Zhao Ling Xiao was a Star Refiner, he stared at Zhao Ling Xiao in extreme shock, and said with his throat agitating, You, you, you are actually two of the same cultivator, at the age of 16 or 17, you have already cultivated the martial path and the Star Refinement Dao to the second level, my god!

He no longer dared to say anything anymore. Since they were both in the same cultivation level, there was only one person in the entire Four Great Cities like Zhao Lingxiao. It was the Spiritual Martial Academy, the Lord of the Spirit Sword Palace, Qi Hongling, an existence at the peak of the 9-star Blood Accumulation Realm. The pressure was so mighty that even the City Lord's Mansion would have to lie down in front of Qi Hongling!

However, Zhao Lingxiao was still young. His mastery of two types of cultivation was not low, even surpassing that of many individual practitioners. If he gave Zhao Lingxiao enough time, he had no doubt that the Spiritual Martial Academy would produce another Qi Hongling. It would pressure all the clans in the Four Directions City to the point that they couldn't even lift up their heads! Anyone who dared to provoke them would die!

No, even if I have to risk my life, I must still kill this child today. Otherwise, it would be too terrifying to just let him grow. In at most ten years, this child will grow to the point where he can eradicate my Sha family. At that time, my Sha family will be exterminated.

Sha Jin Yun thought to himself as he looked at Zhao Ling Xiao with eyes filled with killing intent.

Sha Junzhe felt his throat go dry as he stared at Zhao Lingxiao with fear in his eyes. Only now did he finally understand what kind of existence he had provoked. They were two peerless geniuses with similar cultivations! Those lowly commoners with inferior third-grade talent who came from remote places, as long as Zhao Lingxiao announced his identity in the academy. These two points would not affect Zhao Lingxiao in the slightest. Whether it was the teachers or the disciples, they would only know that a peerless genius had appeared at the Spiritual Martial Academy! The various Palace Masters would definitely rush to take Zhao Lingxiao as their core disciple, then the so-called Half a year of service assessment was just a fart!

Li Dong Yun, Yu Hong Bo, you two have truly troubled me. If I knew Zhao Ling Xiao's identity, even if you two promised to give me a seat of honor at the City Lord's Mansion, I would never have accepted this job. Furthermore, I have reached the second stage of my cultivation. I am just a pig.

Sha Junzhe roared in his heart, filled with regret. Sooner or later, two fellow cultivators would have to shine in the academy and be groomed by a certain Palace Master. Just from this point alone, Li Dongyun was nothing. So what if he was the leader of the Four Cloud Alliance? In front of this peerless talent, Li Dongyun's status was worthless. Jun Wu Yi didn't know that more than ten years ago, Qi Hongling had single-handedly killed the entire City Lord's Mansion into silence. If Li Fei hadn't relied on his status as the City Lord, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape death.

CHAPTER 304 - MEANS

On the other hand, Zhao Lingxiao and Qi Hongling were of the same kind, and two of the same cultivator. Their future achievements might not be any less than Qi Hongling's. In comparison, Li Dong Yun, as the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion, a person with a cultivation talent at the middle tier was nothing but a fart.

Until now, he also knew that he had provoked an existence that he could not afford to offend. Anyone who cultivated together would definitely have exceptional talent in cultivation. Otherwise, in the many years of the Four Great Cities' history, only one or two people who cultivated together were Qi Hongling.

Zhao Lingxiao was already a level two star refiner at such a young age. Just from this alone, he was able to surpass many young star refiners in Four Directions City. For example, his Third Nephew was 19 years old and had only just stepped into the level of a level 1 Star Refiner. Not to mention, Zhao Lingxiao's martial arts had also reached the 2-star Frost Level. He could even go against the rules and defeat the 4-star Frost Level opponent, Wandering City and Sha Junzhe. No matter from which point of view, Zhao Lingxiao would definitely become an expert in the future. He might even surpass Qi Hongling!

This won't do. Everyone has already been provoked. If we don't kill Zhao Lingxiao earlier, our family will be exterminated in the future.

It was almost exactly the same as Sha Jin Yun's. You Tiefeng was also thinking in the same way, wanting to kill Zhao Ling Xiao to eliminate a great enemy.

As for You Xing, he was in a stupefied state. He had never thought that he would produce a True Dragon just by casually creating a new student and a person from a remote place. Two fellow cultivators, this was the second person in history from Four Directions City. When Zhao Lingxiao fully displayed his talent in the academy, the resources available to the entire academy would be invested in him. In contrast, he and Sha Junzhe were just two pitiful people who had been expelled from the academy. Many of the disciples and teachers who were talking about Zhao Lingxiao might think of them as a bad example.

I used to think of him as a lowly commoner, but now, it seems, I am the true slut. To have such peerless talent, birth is no longer important.

He sighed helplessly. With his powerful talent and the support of the academy, Zhao Lingxiao would definitely become one of the top experts in the Four Directions City in the future. He would be able to lead a family to prosperity by himself.

Soon, a smile appeared on Sha Jin Yun's face. He then said awkwardly to Zhao Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, we were all mistaken before. We didn't realize that you are a True Dragon who cultivated two types of martial arts together. If not, I want to know if Junzhi was expelled because of you. I want to beat him up, not cause trouble for you, so that this kid will have a good memory. How about this, we can make peace with each other. As an apology, our Sha Family is willing to pay you 1 million low-grade spirit stones!

After he finished speaking, Sha Jin Yun stared at Zhao Ling Xiao, hoping that he would agree. After all, it was 1 million Spirit Stones. With Zhao Lingxiao's identity as someone from a remote town, this was definitely a huge amount of Spirit Stones. Whether it was for cultivation or to develop his family, it was extremely useful. As long as Zhao Lingxiao agreed to release the restraints, he would be able to kill Zhao Lingxiao and cure the Sha Family's future troubles.

As an old friend, You Tiefeng understood what Sha Jin Yun was thinking almost instantly. He hurriedly said, That's right, little friend Ling Xiao was previously our bad friend. I didn't expect that your talent for cultivation would be this great. Otherwise, how could we dare to look for your bad luck and run away with our tails between our legs? Just like what Brother Yun said, if Brother Ling Xiao is willing to help, then our You family will be willing to offer 1 million low-grade spirit stones as an apology.

Sha Jun Zhe and You Xing's hearts trembled when they heard what Zhao Ling Xiao had to say. They didn't expect their elders to have such a drastic change in attitude. 1 million low-grade spirit stones as an apology. Even with the strength of their family, if they wanted to take out this money in a short period of time, it would be a huge blow to them.

However, Zhao Lingxiao wasn't like Sha Junzhe and You Zhe who couldn't see the hidden meaning behind these words. If they were to reconcile, then he would have to break the restriction of the formation. At that time, it would be easy for Sha Jin Yun and You Tiefeng to kill him. After all, he was only ten Zhang away from the two of them. At such a short distance, if the two of them were to suddenly launch an attack, he would not even have the chance to run.

As for the 2 million yuan compensation, he had never even believed it. Because as long as someone dies, there's no need to pay 2 million. In comparison to reconciliation, the two of them killing him could reduce his threat to zero! This was much more stable than reconciliation.

Zhao Lingxiao smiled and said slowly, You two, do you think I'm stupid? Or are you stupid? Now that it's like this, do you think I would believe you?"

Sha Jin Yun's expression changed as he hastily responded, You must be joking, little friend Ling Xiao. What I said was from the bottom of my heart. This is because reconciliation is good for both of us. You know, if you kill the four of us here, you will definitely cause wounds on our corpses. Also, many people have already seen that we are chasing you in the busy city. After we die, if someone from the family comes to investigate, they might find out about you. After all, if you want to kill us, you can either use your sword or your fist! However, your two great methods have been made known to our family! Of course, with little friend Lingxiao's ability, he wouldn't be afraid even if our two families found out. But just because you're not afraid doesn't mean that your family in a remote town isn't afraid either! I hope that little friend Ling Xiao can consider it.

You Tiefeng said while the iron was still hot, That's right, little friend Lingxiao. Although your talent is exceptional and will be held in the hands of the Spiritual Martial Academy, killing the few of us won't cause much harm. But your family is different, I hope you think about it more! Of course, our family might not dare to take revenge on your family due to your talent, but there is always a chance! If some crazy person wants to take revenge for us and instead go and take revenge on your family, that would be troublesome."

As he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Lingxiao with a calm expression, but the killing intent in his heart had already reached its peak. As long as Zhao Lingxiao was pressured into agreeing to their reconciliation, then today would be the day of his death!

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Lingxiao's face. He said gently, You've underestimated my ability. Who said that you must use swords and fists to kill me? I'll show you what I can do.

With that, he looked at the small red flower that was close to the bottom of the mountain. There were many bees flying around the flower, harvesting its nectar. He turned around and activated his soul power, enveloping a large area of red flowers.

Immediately, a large number of flowers floated in mid air. Zhao Lingxiao waved his left hand and all the flowers flew towards the Spiritual Sealing Array. They landed on the grass surrounding the four people and covered it up completely.

CHAPTER 305 - STINGING

Sha Jin Yun was at a loss and asked sternly, Zhao Ling Xiao, what are you trying to do?

Zhao Lingxiao sneered, You want to give me a big meal, but you dare to threaten my family. Today, you will be tortured to death!

After that, he used his soul power to cut off a grass blade beneath him. The upper half of the grass blade floated in the air and slowly flew to his right hand.

Zhao Lingxiao smiled. He put the Traceless Sword Shadow back into his storage ring and took a few steps back, away from the Spiritual Sealing Array.

Seeing this, the four people in the formation had a bad feeling.

Sha Jin Yun shouted loudly, Zhao Ling Xiao, you really dare to kill us? I am not afraid of our Sha Family taking revenge on you.

Actually, he was not so sure. If the Sha Family were to know that Zhao Lingxiao was a fellow cultivator, even if they knew that Zhao Lingxiao had killed them, they would not dare to take revenge on their family members. Even some of the family's prideful juniors would be severely restricted, not allowing even a single step over the red line. If they dared to take revenge on Zhao Lingxiao's family, they would have to fight Zhao Lingxiao to the death, not to mention the pressure from the Spiritual Martial Academy. Just by himself, Zhao Lingxiao would definitely exterminate the Sha Family once he grew up to be a peerless expert! The elders in the family were all intelligent figures. How could they not understand this logic? How could they still dare to provoke Zhao Lingxiao?!

Of course, he also knew that even if the Sha Family did not seek revenge, Zhao Lingxiao would not spare the Sha Family. This was also the main reason why he wanted to kill Zhao Lingxiao. Only when Zhao Lingxiao died would Sha family be safe.

"It's not that I should be afraid of the Sha Family, it's just that the Sha Family should be afraid of me. If the Sha Family dares to take revenge on my family, I don't mind uprooting the Sha Family. Furthermore, do you really think that the Sha Family was able to determine that it was me from your corpses?

Zhao Lingxiao said lightly with a creepy smile on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, he placed a long blade of grass across his mouth and started to blow slowly. At the same time, he circulated the true energy within his body and used his true energy to spread the sound.

The four of them heard the crisp sound and were confused. They did not understand what Zhao Lingxiao was trying to do. Since he wanted to kill them, he might as well use some grass to blow on them.

However, they soon heard a buzzing sound coming from afar. They looked in the direction the sound came from. The four of them only saw a grey patch in the sky far away, and it was from this grey patch that the sound came.

When the grey patch got closer, the four saw that it was actually a group of bees. There were probably tens of thousands of them! It was as if they were covering the sky!

So many bees, could it be that they were attracted by Zhao Lingxiao?

Cold sweat broke out on Sha Jin Yun's forehead. Only now did Sha Jin Yun understand why Zhao Ling Xiao said he underestimated his ability. That's right, if he wanted to kill someone, did he really have to use a sword? Fist? Insects can do it, too.

Heavens! There are so many bees being surrounded! They will be bitten to death!

Even Wandering Iron Wind, who had always been calm, felt fear in his heart after seeing this battle. He was not afraid of death. He was afraid that he would be tortured to death. The thought of being bitten by tens of thousands of bees made his scalp tingle.

His face was full of fear, and this time he was completely scared, more scared than ever. He turned towards Zhao Lingxiao and shouted, Brother Ling Xiao, please spare me, I will never dare to offend you again.

On the side, You Xing also cried, Brother Ling Xiao, it is our eyes that are blind. We have offended you, this great Buddha. Your excellency, please forgive me and let us go this time. We will not dare to do so again.

The only response he got from the two of them was a grim smile on Zhao Lingxiao's face. To be merciful to the enemy was to be cruel to oneself. He understood this principle very well!

Ignoring the four of them, Zhao Lingxiao circulated more of his elemental energy and used all his strength to blow the grass. The sound of a flute could be heard in the surroundings.

When the bees in the distance heard this sound, their flying speed suddenly increased, and they rapidly flew in their direction.

In just a few blinks of an eye, under the fearful gazes of Sha Jin Yun, Sha Junzhe, You Tiefeng, and You Xing, tens of thousands of bees simultaneously swarmed towards the large flower formation, drowning all four of them.

Due to the cover of the bees, Zhao Lingxiao could not see the four figures clearly from a distance. He felt that they were a bit blurry.

Soon, the four of them began to scream miserably. Their faces, hands, and noses were stung by the bees, causing them to tremble in pain. Their hands frantically waved around their bodies, trying to drive the bees away.

However, with their true energy sealed, how could they possibly chase away these bees with their bare hands? In the time it took to snap five fingers, four of them were completely covered by bees. Their bodies were densely packed with bees, making them look extremely terrifying.

The four of them were constantly stung by the bees. It didn't hurt to eat them all. Other than Sha Junzhe who had already collapsed to the ground, the other three also slowly fell to the ground. However, their legs were bound. No matter how their legs trembled, they could not move them in the slightest. They could only helplessly endure the bites from more and more bees.

Moreover, when they cried out miserably, quite a few bees took the opportunity to drill into their mouths, wagging their tails, aiming for the four people's tongues and the surrounding walls of their mouths. This caused the four people to feel even more pain, and even their screams changed slightly.

In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the four of them had been wrapped up by the bees until they were brown and fell to the ground. They struggled a little, but their screams had completely disappeared.

Zhao Lingxiao stood at the Spiritual Sealing Array, still blowing on the grass with a faint smile on his face. To him, killing people was like nodding on the ground, and it did not affect his state of mind in the slightest. What's more, these four people were chasing after him, so he was just taking the opportunity to counterattack.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the four people wrapped in the bees had completely stopped moving. Zhao Lingxiao raised an eyebrow and sent his soul power towards the four of them. He discovered that their lives had already been cut off. For safety's sake, he didn't immediately stop blowing the grass, and still ordered the bees to surround the four of them.

After a long while, Zhao Lingxiao discovered that the four's vitality did not rebound. Presumably, they were completely dead, so he stopped blowing the grass and losing the control of his voice.

When the vast majority of the bees had flown away, it revealed Sha Jin Yun's group of four. The
