Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Young master, you're awake? I knew that young master has great luck and will not die that easily!" Xue Wei cried out. Her eyes were filled with joy.
"Xue Wei, don't be scared. I'll kill anyone who dares to lay their hands on you!"
Ling Xiao softened his gaze. Although the entire Longevity Sect was against him, humiliating and suppressing the previous owner of this body, it was this lean figure who had never left his side.
"Okay!"
Xue Wei's huge eyes were clear. She wiped away her tears and suddenly broke into a smile.
The young man in blue froze upon hearing Ling Xiao's domineering declaration.
He then cursed under his breath. How could he be frightened by this good-for-nothing? So what if he was not dead now? He was as good as dead for offending Young Master Ling Kun.
"Ling Xiao, I can't believe you're still alive after being beaten up by Young Master Ling Kun! But you're still useless for having delusions about Senior Sister Liu. She's way out of your league!" The young man in blue laughed in an odd way.
Ling Xiao had only cultivated to the first tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary while he, on the other hand, had connected twenty-four meridians and was at a sixth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary. Seeing the usual yes-man Ling Xiao acting so domineering today, he was quite unhappy about it.
As Ling Xiao's eyes sparkled, he coldly blurted, "I don't plan to kill anyone today. I will spare your life if you let Xue Wei go and slap yourself twenty times!"
"Hahahaha... Ling Xiao, have you lost your mind? Slap myself twenty times to spare my life? You talk big for a guy with only a first tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary cultivation. I'm not going to let Xue Wei go, so what are you going to do about it? Not only am I not letting her go, but I will also run my fingers all over her and bring her back for a good teaching!" The young man in blue burst into laughter arrogantly. With lewdness in his eyes, the young man extended his arm to grab Xue Wei's ample bosom.
"You're seeking death!"
As a cold shimmer flashed past Ling Xiao's eyes, he instantly went into action.
The actions of the young man in blue had angered Ling Xiao and left him brewing with heavy murderous intent.
Wham!
At the tap of his foot, Ling Xiao pounced like a cheetah. With eyes as cold as metal, as though he was looking at a lifeless being, he pulled a punch.
A simple punch turned the young man in blue's face grave.
He could feel a sense of invincibility from the punch that left him an illusion that he was situated in a boundless sea surrounded by endless waves.
Pressed for time, the young man in blue countered with a punch.
Crack!
At the exchange of fists, the young man in blue's arm jerked, making a loud noise. It was broken.
"What!"
The young man in blue's face went pale. How could Ling Xiao, who had only cultivated to a first tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary unleash such gruesome energy?
Ling Xiao did not retreat after the punch. Instead, he grabbed the arm of the young man in blue for a twist.
Pft!
As blood spewed under the sun, the young man in blue's arm was split apart by Ling Xiao with just a twist!
"Ah... My arm..." Wailing in pain, the young man in blue held onto his bleeding arm and looked towards Ling Xiao with fear in his eyes.
He was higher than Ling Xiao by five tiers yet he could not surpass Ling Xiao with a single move. When did this good-for-nothing become this terrifying?
The young man immediately regretted, lamenting on why he had decided to court trouble with this devil.
Maid Xue Wei cried out in alarm and at the wretched sight of the young man in blue, her face turned white. Taking this opportunity, she quickly behind Ling Xiao.
"Don't... Don't kill me..."
Noticing as Ling Xiao was coming towards him, the young man in blue immediately got down to his knees to beg Ling Xiao.
"Go back and tell the cheating couple, Ling Kun and Liu Yiyi, I'll deal with them personally!" Ling Xiao's cold gaze lingered on the young man in blue before he uttered those words dully.
"Yes yes yes... I will convey the message!"
The young man in blue kowtowed numerous times to Ling Xiao for granting the pardon before he grabbed his broken limb and fled.
"Young master, how did you become this good?"
Pleasantly surprised, Xue Wei's eyes carried a glimmer of adoration towards Ling Xiao.
Xue Wei could sense that her young master had turned over a new leaf. There was a change in temperament and personality but the changed young master gave Xue Wei great comfort.
Ling Xiao smiled and affectionately caressed Xue Wei's head. He said, "Xue Wei, how many Spiritual Stones do we have?"
Xue Wei tilted her head in contemplation before she answered, "Young master, you gave away our valuable natural resources and spirit pills but we still have quite a bit of Spiritual Stones. There are about over ten thousand moderate Spiritual Stones!"
"We still have that many?" Ling Xiao was stunned. He just casually asked, but he did not think Ling Xiao was so loaded to possess this many Spiritual Stones.
"Young master, you had more. After all, you are the son of Demon Conquering King. Someone's assigned to send over your resources every month but it's getting lesser in the last few months. This month, for example, we received nothing!" Xue Wei replied with pride but her voice softened towards the end.
She secretly stole a glance at Ling Xiao and was relieved to find young master keeping his cool rather than lose his temper.
'The resources are getting lesser? Those old b*stards in the family must have seized them!' Ling Xiao sneered from within.
"Xue Wei, take the Spiritual Stones out. Then stand outside my room to help me keep watch. Don't let anyone in!" Ling Xiao retorted leisurely.
"Yes, young master!" Xue Wei enthusiastically replied.
Although she was merely a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teen, she had a bright and simple character. She seemed to have forgotten the earlier scare and fight as she happily followed the young master's instruction to place the Spiritual Stones in the room.
Ten thousand over Moderate Spiritual Stones were piled up in a hill on the ground. After Ling Xiao entered the room, he sat cross-legged on the pile of Spiritual Stones.
"If I want to seek vengeance with True Dragon and find Jin Se, I have to make haste in improving my cultivation. If I can advance to Supreme Boundary within a hundred years, ten thousand years ago, surely I can resume to Supreme Boundary in lesser time in this life!"
Ling Xiao was beaming with great confidence.
"Sky Devouring Secret Technique, devour!"
A mysterious scripture appeared in Ling Xiao's mind, and with a gentle emboldening, the boundless spiritual energy hidden within the pile of Spiritual Stones swiftly surged into his whole body.
Thump!
It was as if Ling Xiao had turned into a black hole, he started to absorb the incoming boundless spiritual energy. He was shimmering in radiance.
Sky Devouring Secret Technique was an ultimate technique Ling Xiao had obtained in ancient ruins ten thousand years ago. If one cultivated it to its extreme, they would be capable of devouring the entire world; it was a terrifying skill.
Ling Xiao's Sky Devouring Supreme title came from Sky Devouring Secret Technique.
However, Ling Xiao had only gotten his hands on the Sky Devouring Secret Technique when he was at Aristocracy Boundary in his past life. Now, Ling Xiao was confident he would be able to return to Supreme Boundary within fifty years!
