There was only a soft "chi" sound, and the tip of the sword was already pressed against the young man's throat. The young man felt the cold tip of the sword, and a chill surged in his heart.
He knew that if Ling Xiao exerted even a little force, his life would be lost immediately.
The young man did not expect such a result at all, and his eyes were full of shock and confusion.
His sword, the low-level human-level sword that he was once so proud of and was well-known in the East China Sea, was now in Ling Xiao's hand, with the tip of the sword pointed directly at his throat.
He tried to struggle, but his body seemed to be immobilized by an invisible force and he could not move.
At the same time, Shangguan Yu also froze on the spot, her face was full of shock. It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but she didn't take Ling Xiao seriously at all.
Coming from the East China Sea, she has always thought highly of herself, believing that there are few rivals among the young warriors in the Southern Region. Even if there are, they are all ones she knows well and is prepared for.
However, the appearance of Ling Xiao broke her cognition. This strange boy not only easily took away the sword of her subordinate, but also subdued him in an instant. She had never seen such a swift and precise attack.
Let her re-evaluate Ling Xiao's strength.
Shangguan Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm down the shock in his heart.
She glanced at Ling Xiao coldly, with a bit of approval in her voice, but more of it was still domineering: "You are very good, but my people underestimated the enemy too much and let you succeed. However, if you can
Tell us the whereabouts of that old guy, and I promise not to kill you."
The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a teasing smile: "This is said lightly, you offer 10 million medium-grade spiritual stones as compensation, and I promise not to kill you. But if you don't want to
, then don’t blame me for being rude."
Shangguan Yu frowned after hearing this.
As a martial soul master from the Empress Palace, she boasted of having a very high status and strength in the Southern Territory. However, at this moment, she was provoked by an unknown young man. Naturally, she felt a little embarrassed.
Her eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, as if Ling Xiao was about to freeze in an instant.
"I'll give you three breaths before letting him go!" Shangguan Yu's voice was cold and firm, and every word seemed to carry a sharp sword energy.
However, before she finished speaking, Ling Xiao had already moved. His movements were quick and precise, the sword in his hand thrust forward, and the tip of the sword accurately penetrated the young man's throat.
However, he obviously had a sense of proportion and the tip of the sword did not penetrate too far. With the young man's cultivation, such an injury would not be fatal.
The young man felt a sharp pain coming from his throat. He groaned in pain, and his eyes were full of fear and terror. He had never thought that a seemingly ordinary boy could use such ruthless methods.
He was secretly glad that Ling Xiao had not killed him, otherwise he would have been a corpse at this moment.
When Shangguan Yu saw this, her face became even more ugly. She originally thought that with her own strength, she could easily force Ling Xiao to submit, but she didn't expect that Ling Xiao would be so decisive and ruthless.
She couldn't help but start to re-examine this unknown young man, and secretly thought about the next countermeasures in her heart.
With a cynical smile, Ling Xiao looked directly at Shangguan Yu and said in a relaxed and provocative tone: "The period of three breaths is coming soon. You should continue talking. Where has the majesty of your Empress Palace gone?"
Shangguan Yu frowned, and his face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if he could drip water.
She glared at Ling Xiao, her voice trembling: "You... you don't understand what you are doing! We are from the Palace of the Empress of the East China Sea. If you dare to hurt him, you will die without a burial place!"
However, her words were interrupted again by Ling Xiao. With a flick of Ling Xiao's wrist, the sword stabbed out instantly. The tip of the sword cut through the air like lightning and stabbed into the young man's throat with precision.
However, Ling Xiao clearly controlled the strength, and the tip of the sword was only slightly deflected, piercing the skin but not penetrating into the vital point.
The moment the young man felt the tip of the sword piercing his body, his eyes were filled with fear and despair. He almost screamed out in pain, but his throat was blocked by the tip of the sword and he could only let out a weak moan.
He looked at Ling Xiao, his heart filled with endless fear and anger, but he was unable to resist.
"Oops, I'm so sorry. My hand shook a little and I stabbed it on the wrong side." Ling Xiao said lightly, as if he had just done a trivial thing.
He casually pulled the sword out of the young man's throat, blood spurted out instantly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
However, Ling Xiao seemed not to smell the smell of blood. He still looked at Shangguan Yu with a smile, and the sword in his hand pressed against the young man's throat again.
He said provocatively: "Keep talking, Miss Shangguan. Let's try it. Is it your Queen's Palace who is more famous, or am I more courageous?"
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill in his heart when he looked at Ling Xiao's provocative smile and the sword in his hand.
She knew that the young man in front of her was no ordinary warrior from the Southern Region. His strength and courage far exceeded her imagination. She couldn't help but begin to regret her previous underestimation and arrogance, and at the same time she also developed a deep fear and vigilance towards Ling Xiao.
But at the same time, the anger in Shangguan Yu's eyes burned even more intensely, and the anger almost overflowed from his eyes.
However, she chose to remain silent. She knew that if she threatened Ling Xiao again, the boy would kill the young man without hesitation. After all, his previous actions had proved that he had extraordinary courage and courage.
determination.
Shangguan Yu knew very well that the four young men who followed her to the Southern Region for training this time were all children of high-ranking families in the Empress Palace, and their safety was directly related to the reputation and status of the Empress Palace.
Although the East China Sea is rich in resources, there are many powerful people and many dangers there. In comparison, the land in the Southern Region is relatively safe and suitable for these young people to experience and grow.
Shangguan Yu knows very well that she has a heavy responsibility. If she cannot guarantee the safety of these young people, then she will not be able to explain it to the senior officials of the Empress Palace.
Especially the young man who was threatened by Ling Xiao with his sword. He had the most prominent family background among the four, and his grandfather was the great elder in the Empress' Palace. His status was so respected that even the Empress was in awe of him.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yu felt even more anxious. She understood that if she could not handle this incident well, not only would she lose a valuable practitioner, but she would also bring immeasurable losses to the Empress Palace.
Therefore, she must treat it carefully and find a way to protect the young man while avoiding the situation from getting worse.
"Boy, how dare you be so arrogant? Do you know who I am?"
