Chapter 2873 - 2877: Hell After 10 Breaths

"I’ve killed so many members of the Royal Family. Killing one more like you, what difference does it make?"

Ling Xiao looked at the Crown Prince with disdain.

This idiot, even before his cultivation reached today’s strength, he was not afraid of the Chen Royal Family. How could he possibly be afraid now?

"In ten breaths, I will kill you!"

Ling Xiao suddenly sneered, "Before death, take a last look back at this world."

Ten breaths!

The Crown Prince froze for a moment, then frantically climbed onto the Mysterious Turtle Battle Beast, desperately fleeing into the distance.

"Idiot, using this time to repent, yet you choose to run. In ten breaths, how far can you escape?"

Ling Xiao did not make a move; he had said ten breaths and meant it.

The Crown Prince fled desperately, and the Mysterious Turtle Battle Beast, due to his frantic whipping, fell to the ground.

He got up and rushed forward himself.

He didn’t realize he possessed such speed in fleeing for his life, having never run so fast before.

Yet he still felt no glimmer of hope.

The shadow of death still loomed over him.

Deep in his heart, he was filled with regret.

Why did he rush to claim the credit? Why did he come to hunt Ling Xiao?

This was nothing but courting death!

"The last breath."

Ling Xiao gently raised a finger, aiming at the fleeing Crown Prince.

"No—!"

The Crown Prince stopped in terror, looking back at Ling Xiao.

Even at a distance of over a mile, with the eyes of a Martial Artist, he could still see Ling Xiao.

The indifferently cold smile on that fellow’s face, as if faced with an insignificant insect.

Not a Martial Artist, not a Prince of the Chen Dynasty.

Swish!

A purple-blue electric beam shot from Ling Xiao’s fingertip, instantly crossing the mile-long distance.

"I don’t want to die yet!"

The Crown Prince screamed in terror.

But now it was all too late.

The electric beam pierced his throat, then ravaged his body mercilessly.

He could even feel his vitality draining away, his body gradually falling apart.

Ultimately, he died with his eyes wide open, forever in terror.

The Crown Prince of the Chen Dynasty had died just like that.

So disgraceful, so simply.

Ling Xiao easily killed the Crown Prince, then looked back at the Yuanling Clan’s martial artists.

Finally, his gaze locked onto Yuan Mo.

The corner of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.

Yuan Mo, propped up by his clansmen, looked at Ling Xiao in terror, unsure of what to say now.

To act as the Royal Family’s dog, to fulfill that Crown Prince’s wishes, he actually tried to kill Ling Xiao.

At this moment, seeing the entire group of the Crown Prince slaughtered, he thoroughly understood.

Ling Xiao’s strength could indeed protect the entire Yuanling Clan.

Laughable that he had turned this guardian deity into an enemy, to constantly offend and infuriate Ling Xiao.

The Barrier Martial Soul had already been removed by Ling Xiao.

Lia and her female guards witnessed everything within the barrier.

Lia herself had not expected Ling Xiao to be so terrifying, so powerful.

She was still in great shock.

At only sixteen years old, his cultivation was this frightening.

Such a genius, no wonder he could break into the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm, no wonder even the Royal Family wanted to hunt him down.

Suddenly, she thought of something and hurriedly shouted, "Ling Xiao, you must leave quickly!"

"Why?"

Ling Xiao looked gently at Lia. To those who were kind to him, he could return a warm gaze.

"You just killed the Crown Prince of the Chen Dynasty. Though he was not favored, he was once the Crown Prince after all.

The Thunder Emperor will never let you go, nor will the Chen Country’s Five Elders, along with numerous experts."

Lia did not understand why Ling Xiao was still so calm, while she was extremely anxious.

Ling Xiao thought about it, too. Although he was not afraid of those experts from the Chen Royal Family, the people from Tianchi Mountain could still pose a significant threat to him.

So he still needed to enhance his strength.

He was about to take Lia and her female guards and leave together.

Suddenly, Yuan Mo spoke.

"Lia, what are you talking about? This young hero, Ling Xiao, is an invincible expert of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Twelfth Layer Hell. How could he possibly fear the Chen Royal Family?

Moreover, he has said he will protect our Yuanling Clan!"

At this, Yuan Mo looked at Ling Xiao ingratiatingly and said, "Young hero Ling Xiao, the past actions were because my eyes were blind, mistaking gold for dirt.

Our Yuanling Clan is willing to submit to you, young hero Ling Xiao, willing to confess and make amends.

We hope young hero Ling Xiao will overlook past grievances, stay here, and protect our Yuanling Clan from being bullied by those despicable Chen State Martial Artists."

Ling Xiao looked at Yuan Mo again.

He had already known of this person’s shamelessness but did not expect it could reach such a level.

This Yuan Mo’s shift from arrogance to humility was solely because of Ling Xiao’s power.

He killed the Crown Prince, effortlessly defeated two Martial Artists with the Twelfth Layer of Yin-Yang Realm Hell Late Stage Cultivation.

So Yuan Mo wanted to use Ling Xiao against the Chen Royal Family, to reclaim control of the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm for the Yuanling Clan.

Truly a well-played scheme.

"If you dare to speak another word, I’ll slaughter your entire Yuanling Clan!"

Ling Xiao’s expression was icy cold: "Except for Lia and her female guards, the rest of you, get out!"

"Yes, yes, we’ll leave, we’ll leave. As long as young hero Ling Xiao is willing to help our Yuanling Clan, I’m willing to give up my Clan Leader position.

Besides, I can also offer Lia and her female guard to you, young hero, for you to deal with as you please."

Yuan Mo kept backing away while still prattling on.

"Get out!"

Ling Xiao’s voice was cold and furious.

This Yuan Mo was truly beyond saving.

"Everyone, leave!"

Seeing Ling Xiao’s expression, Yuan Mo knew that staying might really result in death, so he led the rest of the Yuanling Clan away.

"Lia, what do you plan to do? Will you leave with me or stay here?"

Ling Xiao looked at Lia and asked.

"I want to go with you!"

Lia lifted her head, biting her lip.

"Good, whether it’s Demon Dragon City or Eight Immortals County City, choose one; they are both my territories where you can live and thrive."

Ling Xiao smiled; this girl was ultimately not foolish.

Such a father, such clansmen, were not worth holding onto.

"What about you?"

Lia asked.

"I still have some matters to settle here. The Chen Royal Family owes me many debts, and I intend to reclaim them all!"

Ling Xiao chuckled quietly.

"Then be careful!"

Lia gave Ling Xiao a look, feeling some attachment to this mysterious and powerful young man.

But she also knew she wasn’t his match.

Getting out of this wretched place and living peacefully was already incredibly fortunate for her.

"Alright, once the Illusion Array is broken, we can leave together. For now, stay here.

Perhaps the entire Imperial Extreme Secret Realm is safest here."
