"Big brother, this matter was initiated by second brother, we really canāt blame them. Now our Ghost Alliance has suffered huge losses, itās really unwise to make them our enemies again," Hong Cheng advised.
The man standing at the front had eyes as cold as ice, seemingly unaffected by Hong Chengās words.
"They killed second brother, we canāt ignore that. No matter who is right or wrong, they killed him, so they must die. Besides, second brotherās Dragon King Cone is a treasure that absolutely cannot fall into othersā hands, and the information about the Taihao Vein is indeed critical and mustnāt be leaked," the leading man spoke solemnly, his voice authoritative and allowing no doubt.
Hong Chengās brow instantly furrowed.
He really wanted to persuade his big brother not to provoke Xu Nian and the others, but didnāt know how to start.
This matter was indeed his second brotherās wrongdoing initially, now he also didnāt know what to do.
"Theyāre coming out!"
Just as Hong Cheng was troubled, a surrounding cultivator suddenly exclaimed.
The leading man immediately looked toward the cave entrance of the mountain.
Sure enough, two figures emerged from inside. When he saw Lin Ruolan, his eyes lit up.
Such a beautiful woman!
No wonder Wang Tong was moved, even he was somewhat captivated.
As for Xu Nian, he just glanced briefly and then looked away, not paying the slightest attention.
Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan walked out of the cave and saw the sky full of cultivators.
These cultivators surrounded them tightly, it seemed they had no intention of letting them escape.
However, there was not a hint of fear on Xu Nian and Lin Ruolanās faces; instead, there was some amusement.
"You two, having killed my second brother, do you intend to leave just like that?" Zhou Tianming asked Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan from the void.
"So, youāre seeking revenge on us?" Xu Nian looked at Zhou Tianming and sneered.
From this stance, Xu Nian immediately saw that Zhou Tianming and that Wang Tong were of the same ilk.
"Actually, Iām here to avenge you. My second brother died at your hands; naturally, I must kill you. Of course, before that, if you voluntarily hand over the Dragon King Cone and cripple your cultivation, I can consider sparing you," Zhou Tianming sneered.
Xu Nian retorted with a laugh of extreme anger, Zhou Tianming was indeed arrogantly ruthless.
To cripple his cultivation before even considering sparing him?
It seemed he didnāt regard him at all!
"Then what about her? Why not seek revenge on her?" Xu Nian pointed to Lin Ruolan beside him and asked.
Previously, Lin Ruolan stood by idly. Now faced with so many strong opponents, he couldnāt let this character remain uninvolved.
"She didnāt lay a hand on my second brother, why would I seek revenge on her? Not only that, I want to invite this Fairy to join our Ghost Alliance and become one of our hierarchs. How does the Fairy feel about that?" Zhou Tianming smiled hypocritically.
Xu Nian instantly burst into laughter.
Zhou Tianming actually invited Lin Ruolan to join the Ghost Alliance?
Probably wanting to get Lin Ruolan, playing a little trick, right!
Lin Ruolan, however, seemed as if she hadnāt heard Zhou Tianming at all, her eyes disdainful.
"Looks like sheās unwilling to entertain you," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh, stirring the flames.
Zhou Tianmingās face instantly turned livid; he had not expected this woman to ignore his words, a flash of malevolence in his eyes.
But soon this malevolence was concealed.
"Hm, whether she entertains me is one thing, but you must die today, hand over the Dragon King Cone, and I might leave you a complete corpse," Zhou Tianming said angrily.
He was now filled with rage, unable to vent it on this woman, he could only take it out on this guy.
"Want the Dragon King Cone? Sure, come take it yourself," Xu Nian said with a wry smile.
"Courting death, charge, kill him!" Zhou Tianming ordered.
Instantly, dozens of strong opponents charged at Xu Nian, each at the Earth Immortal realm.
Among them, there were even late-stage Earth Immortal rank experts, who attacked mercilessly, each launching deadly strikes towards Xu Nian.
Zhou Tianming sneered; faced with so many Earth Immortal realm experts, even he would find it hard to fend them off, he wanted to see how a mere middle-stage Earth Immortal could withstand them.
Xu Nian looked at the Earth Immortal realm experts attacking from all directions, a cold smile on his lips.
"Buzz!"
Xu Nianās thoughts moved, instantly several beams of light shot from his body.
Swift as a ray of light, fiercely sharp to the extreme.
"Splatter!"
Continuous sounds of blood splattering arose.
Only to see the dozens of charging Earth Immortal expertsā heads directly pierced by incredibly sharp fine blades.
In a brief moment, none of the dozens of Earth Immortal experts survived.
"What?"
The Ghost Alliance members were all surprised when they saw this scene.
"This is... the Dragon King Cone? This guy has wielded the Dragon King Coneās power?" Zhou Tianming also furrowed his brow; he hadnāt expected this kid to actually harness the Dragon King Coneās power.
It seems his control over the Dragon King Cone might even surpass Wang Tong.
Xu Nian smiled faintly, looking at the falling dozens of corpses with unflinching eyes.
What he exhibited just now was only the Dragon King Coneās most basic usage, not one of the one hundred and eight techniques.
Now, his comprehension of Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation had reached the fourth level. The Wind Bladeās lethality at the fourth-level realm was naturally not something these people could withstand.
Not to mention dozens, even if thousands or tens of thousands here attacked together, Xu Nian had confidence to massacre them all.
With such a treasure like the Dragon King Cone at hand, he truly feared no group battle.
Hong Cheng too was utterly shocked; he could tell that Xu Nianās strength was far greater than before.
In just two days, heād grown so much stronger.
Moreover, he had an exceptionally fearsome axe.
"Big brother, letās retreat; Xu Nian has grown much stronger, if we keep fighting, our Ghost Alliance will suffer terrible losses," Hong Cheng advised.
"I didnāt expect this kid to be so skilled, in that case, Iāll take action myself," Zhou Tianming said with a cold snort, preparing to intervene.
"Shouldāve done it sooner, better you meet your end than have your men do it," Xu Nian laughed.
Zhou Tianming instantly flew into a rage, this brat was so arrogant, not even putting him in his eyes.
"Kid, arrogance comes at a price; since you donāt regard me, Iāll teach you how to behave," Zhou Tianming sneered.
Then a powerful Thunderclap Power surged from his body.
The sky crackled with thunder, as if countless Thunderclap Dragons were coiling.
With the emergence of this power, the surrounding Ghost Alliance members showed expressions of fear.
"The Alliance Leader is going to make a move? This kidās doomed!"
"Yeah, the Alliance Leaderās Thunderclap Power is immensely strong; this kid will definitely be blasted to pieces."
...
The Ghost Alliance members talked among themselves, looking at Xu Nian with sympathetic eyes.
