Chapter 538: Kill Satisfyingly
Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Kill Satisfyingly
Gazing at the crowd before him, Jiang Xiaobai remained calm, showing no sign of worry.
However, when he spotted a burlap bag carelessly discarded on the floor amongst the crowd, fury surged within him.
For god’s sake, that was his only disciple!
Though he might not have been particularly diligent in guiding Huseng’s training, he had taken him under his wing nonetheless!
Jiang Xiaobai’s rage – and his killing intent peaking to horrifying levels – this was the first time he had been so utterly incensed since his feud with the ancient tribes had been mostly settled.
Everyone could feel the cold intent to kill radiating from him, enveloping them all. But in their eyes, this murderous intent was of no concern.
Instead, they looked at Jiang Xiaobai with contemptuous gazes.
“Jiang Xiaobai, I didn’t expect you to be so audacious! Daring to actually show up, and moreover, to come alone?”
Li Xi sneered, his gaze turned to Jiang Xiaobai, and then he proceeded to chuck a foot onto the burlap sack.
That swift kick sent the sack flying a few meters, rolling it directly in front of Jiang Xiaobai.
Zing!
A flash of sword light cut open the sack, revealing a battered and unrecognizable Huseng.
There was some consciousness left in Huseng as he looked at Jiang Xiaobai, a smile filling his eyes.
“Master… Master, I embarrassed you…”
Seeing Huseng in this state, rage exploded within Jiang Xiaobai!
He could certainly be a shameless man, running from trouble whenever it arose, but there were some lines that simply could not be crossed!
Huseng and those by his side were his only lines!
Dare to harm them, and he, Jiang Xiaobai, wouldn’t flinch even in the face of a dragon’s den or tiger’s cave. That’s just who he was, willing to risk his life for everyone around him!
“Well done, Huseng. Your master is proud of you.”
Jiang Xiaobai’s voice trembled slightly.
He couldn’t see his own face, but Huseng could.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai was looking at Huseng with a smile, but his face was terribly distorted.
His eyes were flooded with a blood-red glow, like that of a bloodthirsty beast, ready to devour all the people around him at any time!
“Oh, please, spare the act! Playing the caring teacher and student at a time like this.”
Ouyang Haohai scoffed derisively, “You’re nothing but a piece of trash. All you ever did was hide behind a woman. Now that you’re alone, watch me end you today!”
“Once you’re dead, Ao Yan will be mine!”
Ouyang Haohai’s face twisted with vicious delight. His grudge against Jiang Xiaobai had been set when the latter intervened in Dragon Valley, causing Ao Yan to refuse to go to the Void Gate.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai all alone, Ouyang Haohai could already picture himself torturing Jiang Xiaobai to death and seizing Ao Yan for himself!
Just thinking about Ao Yan’s bewitching, delicate face made Ouyang Haohai feel unbearably hot, and he licked his lips unconsciously.
“Gentlemen, why keep wasting time on him? Jiang Xiaobai is just one person, and we could kill him with ease.”
“Let’s get on with it. We have an auction to attend tonight.”
Jian Wuhui suggested mockingly, pinpointing the crux of the matter.
Only then did everyone recall the upcoming auction at the pawnshop tonight. That treasure was the target of everyone present.
Jiang Xiaobai was just a sideshow, they simply intended to dispose of him in passing.
Among the over fifty people present, many were either mid or late-stage Crossing Tribulation experts, some even reaching the peak. This elite force could sweep across the entire Eastern Region!
For a while, everyone decided to stop wasting time. Each of them turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai with a sinister smile, as an ominous aura burst from them.
At that moment, you could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was taut and tense, as if a great battle was about to erupt at any second.
Faced with these taunts, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t react. Instead, he squatted down and put a pill into Huseng’s mouth.
“Take a good rest. When you wake up, all of this will be over.”
Speaking softly, a small golden pagoda appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand. Then, Huseng was instantaneously sucked into the Pagoda.
Witnessing this, the various powerful individuals from the Sanctum were shocked.
The terrifying aura that emanated from the Pagoda, and its ability to store living creatures — a treasure of this caliber was unheard of!
“So that’s your secret, Jiang Xiaobai! You’ve been relying on this treasure all this while, even using it to escape from being hunted?”
Ouyang Haohai was the first to scoff, “What a pity, such a great treasure wasted in the hands of scum like you. It’s utterly buried.”
“Indeed, it’s such a waste. You don’t deserve to possess a treasure like this.”
Even as he was mocking, Li Xi swung his sword, his face twisted in a ghastly smile as if he could already see Jiang Xiaobai being hacked to death by the crowd.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression surprisingly became calm.
He waved his hand, and the Pagoda soared up to the sky, suspending itself above them.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the gathered crowd with an impassive face, his profound eyes unfathomably calm.
Only those truly familiar with him would know that this was Jiang Xiaobai at his most dangerous!
He rolled his neck, flexed his wrists, and a bestial expression crept onto Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
With a twist of his wrist, he produced the Abyssal Rainbow sword.
“Since you all insist on showing your faces, rest assured, I will visit each of your sects in turn!”
“But first, it’s time for you to face the consequences!”
Jiang Xiaobai spoke in an eerily calm tone, giving no hint of his thoughts.
Yet for some reason, as people watched him, a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts.
Something was not right!
Upon closer examination, Jiang Xiaobai was nothing more than a Dividing Gods late-stage cultivator. Then why did they get the feeling as if they were facing a massive army?
The ringleaders in the group started to feel apprehensive and glanced at each other.
“What’s there to fear?! This bastard is only one person, can’t we, with our numbers, kill him?”
At this moment, someone in the crowd roared, “Attack, kill him!”
In an instant, someone charged towards Jiang Xiaobai at an incredible speed.
Once the first one made a move, the others followed without any hesitation. They were all bent on eliminating Jiang Xiaobai right away.
Especially Ouyang Haohai and Li Xi, their sense of unease was escalating rapidly.
Seeing these people rush towards him, an icy smile emerged on Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
“Dare to harm my disciple, and you all shall die!”
“Today, I shall kill with abandon!”
Clutching the Abyssal Rainbow Sword tightly, Jiang Xiaobai’s figure suddenly vanished from the spot, his speed shocking even those high-level Crossing Tribulation experts.
Before anyone could react, a piercing scream rang out from the crowd!
He had been slain on the spot by Jiang Xiaobai!
