Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 175 How Do You Want to Die?

A group of powerful beings from the Great Jin Kingdom passed by this place.

Suddenly, they were attracted by the commotion caused by Xiao Yi's cultivation and turned their eyes in that direction, only to see Xiao Yi amidst the Wind Thunder.

They were captivated by the sight of him absorbing the power of Wind Thunder to temper his physical body.

One must know...

Even within the Great Jin Kingdom, such a secret technique that devours the power of heaven and earth to cultivate the body is extremely rare!

One of them had a hunch and looked towards Wind Thunder Canyon, squinting his eyes, "Is there someone who can absorb the power of Wind Thunder to refine their body? Such body-refining secret skills are not even possessed by our Great Jin Kingdom. How can these lowly commoners from inferior kingdoms be qualified to cultivate them?"

Another person laughed arrogantly, "Let him hand over that body-refining secret technique!"

"What if he refuses?"

"He's just an insignificant ant, killing him is all it takes!"

The young man who started speaking reminded, "Your Highness, our mission is to execute Yu Huaxian, the traitor, and to bring Xiao Yi from the Tianqing Kingdom back with us. If unintended problems arise and His Majesty becomes aware, I fear it could reflect poorly on you."

This party was indeed from the Great Jin Kingdom.

The news that Yu Huaxian had led the Golden Crow Guards to betray the nation had already reached the Great Jin Kingdom.

The King of the Great Jin Kingdom was furious. Your journey continues at empire

He immediately sent the seventh prince, Liu Mubai, to kill Yu Huaxian and capture Xiao Yi.

Liu Mubai was the pride and joy of the heavens in the Great Jin Kingdom, just twenty-eight years old, yet he had already reached the Second Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm. Besides, there was also the commander of the Great Jin Kingdom's Imperial Guards, Zhan Bitao!

Zhan Bitao, the Bloodless Swordsman!

This man was a Sword Intent prodigy, at the Sixth Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm, with the third stage of the human-sword unity Sword Intent.

His combat strength was not inferior to an ordinary Seventh Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm warrior!

Zhan Bitao stood proudly beside Liu Mubai, with his hands clasped around his sword, and said indifferently, "Your Highness, if you wish to obtain this person's body-refining technique, later on I will take action to capture him directly. It shouldn't take much time!"

"No!"

Liu Mubai waved his hand dismissively, "Considering that this person does not have the aura of divine skills, he is probably not at the Tao Tribulation Realm. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Wu Lun, you handle it later. If he obediently hands over the body-refining technique, that would be it. If he does not cooperate, break his limbs first, then force him to hand it over!"

"Rest assured, Your Highness!"

Wu Lun was the young man who had spoken first, with a cultivation reaching the peak of Golden Core Realm. His power was far more than ten times stronger than that of Jiang Shanhe.

"Hm?"

Little Lin, who was resting on the tree canopy, shuddered and suddenly looked up at the sky.

The Golden Crown Black Eagle was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was already outside Wind Thunder Canyon. As they saw several people intending to enter, Little Lin spoke lazily, "Stop right there!"

"Hm?"

The group was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

The eagle eyes of the Golden Crown Black Eagle were incredibly sharp, they stared fixedly at Little Lin's direction, emitting a series of low cries.

Little Lin climbed down leisurely from the tree canopy, stood up straight, and said indifferently, "My boss is cultivating. You can't go in there!"

"What a cute little snake!"

"I've studied the Compendium of Hundred Beasts diligently, but I've never seen such a small snake before. Could it be a mutated magical beast? It's worth a fortune. If I capture it and present it to my mother, she will be overjoyed!" Liu Mubai's eyes lit up as he glanced at the Golden Crown Black Eagle beside him, "Catch it!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

With a soft tweet, the Golden Crown Black Eagle flapped its wings and swept up a great wind, turning into a streak of black light swooping down.

Its sharp talons reached out from under its belly, grabbing towards Little Lin.

The Golden Crown Black Eagle, being at the initial stage of the sixth tier, was comparable to the Second Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm, and its speed was incredibly fast. Even strong warriors at the Third Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm had difficulty contending it.

In its eyes, the aura emanating from Little Lin was merely at the fifth tier.

It should have been an easy catch.

Little did they know...

Having followed Xiao Yi for so long, Little Lin had picked up many things from him, especially the skill of concealing his true cultivation level, in which he had surpassed the master. Although the aura he displayed was only that of a fifth-grade senior, comparable to the peak of the Golden Core Realm, in reality, after ingesting the essence of the Dragon Vein Spiritual Pool twice, Little Lin had reached the Third Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.

His speed was even faster than that of the Golden Crown Black Eagle.

When faced with the sudden attack of the Golden Crown Black Eagle, Little Lin curled up into a ball, and at the moment when the sharp claws came down, he shot out violently.

Little Lin was like an arrow leaving the bow.

Whoosh!

A streak of silver light tore through the void, perfectly evading the claws of the Golden Crown Black Eagle, burrowing into its forehead and flying out the back of its head. The giant Golden Crown Black Eagle shuddered, falling to the ground with a thud, while Little Lin once again dived into its body, emerging with a Martial Dao Divine Fruit in his mouth, which he swallowed in one gulp.

Standing proudly on the head of the Golden Crown Black Eagle, he squinted his eyes and, with a human-like provocativeness, stared down at Liu Mubai and the others.

Hiss!

Liu Mubai and his companions took a sharp intake of breath.

This Golden Crown Black Eagle was a foe that even a human expert at the Third Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm would find difficult to handle, yet this seemingly pretty little snake had killed it with one strike?

"What a silver demon snake, this prince will take it for himself!"

Liu Mubai's eyes shone as he turned to Zhan Bitao, "Zhan, capture this beast alive!"

"A mere beast, I will subdue it with one sword strike!"

Zhan Bitao held his sword with both hands, his fishtail outfit rustling in the air, and in an instant his sword was drawn, with no visible sword moves, and the longsword returned to its sheath.

At the same time, a dense mass of sword scars suddenly appeared around Little Lin, intersecting and striking down.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Little Lin kept dodging, his speed remarkably fast. A streak of silver light weaved through countless sword beams, untouched like a leaf that does not stick to any flower in a field of thousands.

Zhan Bitao's face stiffened as he felt a burning humiliation on his cheeks.

He had vowed only a moment ago that he could subdue Little Lin with a single sword strike.

And yet, that strike hadn't even touched a scale on Little Lin's body.

How embarrassing indeed!

Zhan Bitao glared furiously: "Little creature, how dare you insult me thus? Meteor from Beyond the Heavens..."

Zhan Bitao thrust his sword out as he spoke.

This thrust was his signature move, extremely fast and tricky to defend against—a bloodless strike!

Little Lin's pupils suddenly constricted. His speed was undeniably astonishing, but Zhan Bitao was after all at the Sixth Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm, far superior to him. With a clink, the cold glittering sword tip fell squarely on him, silver scales shattering instantly, fresh blood sprayed from Little Lin's mouth as his body was sent flying.

"Hahaha, little fellow, come obediently to this prince's hands!" Liu Mubai was ecstatic as he reached out for Little Lin.

But at that moment...

An icy chill swept through him suddenly.

Liu Mubai shivered as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Bang!

In front of him, there was an invisible wall of energy, abruptly halting his advance.

Little Lin turned into a streak of silver light, landing on Xiao Yi's shoulder, his face bearing a look of grievance: "Boss, if you didn't come, they would have beaten me to death..."

"As long as I'm here, I will seek justice for you!"

Xiao Yi rubbed his head, narrowing his eyes as he stood up and looked towards Liu Mubai and the others, "You hurt my brother, how would you like to die?"
