Chapter 408: Starting War Respectively (1/2)
But without question, the moment Li Xue knew that all those people came to sentence Ling Tian to death, for the first time it caused her calm and indifferent heart to blaze up in the flames of anger, with killing intent fermenting slowly within!
Since I destroyed your past life, let me return it to you in this present life!
Tian'ge, I'll never let anyone harm you in this world!
And those who want to kill you, I. Will. Not. Let. Anyone. Off!
No matter who!
In a split second, the crowd parted like water flowing downhill, only leaving Justice and the fifteen people from the self-proclaimed Xiao Family. Of course, even the injured NanGong TianLong had, with the help of his family members, run off as quickly as he could!
Justice slowly turned around to face them, indifferently commenting, ”While I might have the tag of Heavenly Justice, I hate killing the most. Before killing Ling Tian, I didn't want to engage in any other sort of killing! However, since some people are naturally seeking for death, provoking my baseline of 'doing what I say', then this seat is very willing to grant their wishes!”
Meng JueChen sn.i.g.g.e.red as he replied, ”Justice, the two of us were originally enemies to begin with. We've lain within the mortal world for over four decades, concealing our ident.i.ties and forsaking everything within the human world in order to annihilate your Beyond Heavens! Others might be afraid of this martial head name, but do you think this old man puts you in my eyes?”
”So, it was you guys.” Justice calmly spoke. ”This explains why you were willing to stay, or even dared to remain behind. An ambitious character, but having to conceal your ident.i.ty for over forty years, living a life without seeing the daylight, neither alive nor dead. Our Sect head never desired to pursue the past matters, but you guys just had to send yourselves up for the slaughter. No worries, I'll grant you that wish. Under my hands, you will not have pain or injuries, only death! I'll send you to meet your ancestors.”
Meng JueChen suddenly gave out a mournful laugh, ”Justice, do you really think you can achieve that? Beyond Heavens? Dogsh*t! Forty years ago, your Beyond Heavens launched a sneak attack, using all sorts of underhanded methods to defeat us. A bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites, making my sect lose most of its fighting strength and decline as a result. This blood feud will not allow us to share the same skies, now and forever! Today, I want to reclaim a debt of blood from your body!”
”This Sect has never bothered to dip their fingers into worldly affairs. Forty years ago, were it not for the fact that you guys came to the Heavenly Star Continent to try to eliminate us, we would not have taken such drastic action. We were merely enacting heaven's will, getting rid of evil presences from this world! A bunch of people who overestimate themselves, even death can't wipe away your crimes. How dare you still talk about dignity and such matters, what a joke!”
”Your mother's fart! Justice, the Beyond Heavens Sect is merely a cold-blooded executioner! What is it based on that you guys are considered number one under the heavens, while we have to live our lives in hiding? The heavens require a change in power, Justice!” Meng JueChen venomously spat in return.
Justice merely sighed wearily, as he closed his eyes and replied, ”No wonder then. It was no wonder that Yin JueKong's treasured saber landed in the hands of the Xiao family, and no wonder their ambition is so huge! Such deep plotting! It was actually all because of you guys. However, to want to claim a blood debt from my body, did you believe that you already possessed the ability of Yin JueKong from a millennium ago?”
Upon hearing the words Yin JueKong, a change came over the faces of Meng JueChen and company, and even Ling Tian who was hiding behind a tree showed some shock.
Ling Tian clearly remembered that on one of the days where he was idly chatting with Ye QingChen, the latter had mentioned a few words. ”With outstanding martial arts approaching the level of a saint, breaking through the boundary for the peak of martial arts. That is the Above Heavens Sect head Yin JueKong, who has killed enough people that the bones could make up a hill!”
Could it be that all the so-called Xiao Family experts actually belonged to the Above Heaven Sect? That the Xiao Family always had the Above Heavens Sect people pulling the strings? Ling Tian's heart grew heavy at that thought.
”While we do not possess the exceptional skills of Ancestor Yin, it's a simple matter if we want to just kill you!” Meng JueChen clenched his teeth and spoke. ”Today, let us perish together with the martial head!”
Following his words, the fifteen experts fanned out, forming a semicircle and placing Justice in the middle. The sound of sc.r.a.ping metal could be heard as all their swords left the sheaths at the same time, dazzling the eyes of any who saw it.
A chance! Ling Tian exclaimed to himself. He secretly calculated, wondering if he could wipe Justice off in a single blow if he were to work together with this group of people. Even if they could not, there was still Li Xue, who was showing a considerable intention to protect him! The people from Above Heavens were obviously experts. One could see that every one of them were at least in the small success stage of the XianTian realm. Under such a lineup, even if it were Justice, he would also need to put in his all to defend. If he were to join in with Li Xue, what would the situation become?
If he could wipe out Justice now, then what would happen in the future? If he could not kill Justice now, then what? Ling Tian did not forget that these fifteen people from Above Heavens also had their own motives. While they held a teeth gnas.h.i.+ng-hatred against Justice, Ling Tian also believed that, given the opportunity, they would also not let him go!
After weighing the costs and benefits, Ling Tian finally chose to give up on this attractive idea. However, since there was an opportunity which presented itself, it would not be wise to leave it hanging! While he had given up on this chance to deal with Justice, he would not do so for NanGong TianLong as well as his people! Opportunity, a beautiful double-edged sword!
Ling Tian believed that Justice would definitely be able to handle that bunch of riff-raff from Above Heavens, and most likely they would not be able to kill him in a short period of time. During this time he should take the chance to clean his place a little! A cruel smile hung on his face as intense bloodl.u.s.t started to reek from his body!
