Chapter 224 - Accession to the Beggar Gangs

”Your story isn't bad, but it doesn't matter whether what you say is true or not.” Ling Xiao said as he twisted his wrist.

Sensing the powerful aura that was gradually being emitted from Ling Xiao's body, free and unfettered's clothes were instantly drenched in cold sweat.

He wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth.

Suddenly, a cold liquid flowed down from free and unfettered's neck. free and unfettered reached out and touched his neck subconsciously, it was fresh blood, and at the same time, it was Ling Xiao's hand that was holding onto his neck.

With the activation of the microstep, Ling Xiao instantly appeared in front of free and unfettered, and then, extended his hand out and directly snapped his throat.

”If you want to blame anyone, blame Old dog Ding. This kind of sinister technique should never have appeared in this world, and you shouldn't have provoked me either.” Ling Xiao coldly said as he looked at free and unfettered's helpless and fearful eyes.

After having his throat strangled by Ling Xiao, before free and unfettered could even struggle for a few moments, its head tilted to the side and its body went limp, and it left the world with its eyes open. It was an extremely painful death, but of course, it was still better than being beaten to death by Ding Chunqiu.

It was precisely in order to punish free and unfettered for his betrayal and lies, that Ling Xiao acted so cruelly.

After free and unfettered Zi died, the remaining astrologer disciples immediately went into an uproar, they all turned to run, they knew, there was no one left to protect them, astrologer was also done for.

However, the reason why Ling Xiao rushed over to the astrologer in such a hurry was to eliminate everyone in the astrologer.

The microstep activated once again. This time, Ling Xiao did not hold back, his speed increased to his fastest, his moves were also very accurate, and every person died from one hit.

In just an incense's time, the astrologer with hundreds of people had been completely wiped out.

Looking at the blood flowing like rivers on the ground, Ling Xiao's expression was indifferent. After carefully inspecting it once more, and discovering that all of them were dead, he finally lifted his leg and prepared to leave.

However, the moment he turned around, Ling Xiao saw a little boy in white clothes sitting on the ground, trembling non-stop, with a bloodless look on his face.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows, he did not understand why such a young child would appear in astrologer.

Walking slowly over, the little boy didn't run away. He was probably too weak to move.

”You are also a disciple of the astrologer?” Ling Xiao looked down at the little boy and asked.

The little boy looked at Ling Xiao with dull eyes, and only after a long while did he gently nod his head.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but frown. He did not want to kill children, but if the other party was also a disciple of the astrologer and trained in the Great Art of Attraction, he could only kill them.

This was because once the Art of Attraction began, there was no way back. One would have to continuously absorb Miasma for the rest of their lives in order to barely survive. Otherwise, the poison that had been accumulating in their bodies would counterattack.

This was what was meant by 'nourishing the poison with poison, using poison to counteract poison'.

However, just as Ling Xiao was about to kill the little boy with a palm, giving him a quick death, he suddenly stopped.

This was because Ling Xiao did not detect any trace of maliciousness from the boy's body.

”What technique did you come to astrologer to learn?” Ling Xiao asked with a serious expression.

If the little boy had learned the Great Art of Absorption, then he would have been able to easily sense it with Ling Xiao's perception, even though he had only just come into contact with it. Otherwise, there was only one possibility, and that was that the boy had not learned the Great Art of Absorption yet.

The little boy finally reacted, and then replied timidly: ”I haven't cultivated the technique yet, I'm only training my body and able to read.”
