"Rats will always be rats. You rats really deserve to die..."
Xiao Ling murmured with a calm expression.
Anyone familiar with Xiao Ling knew that whenever he appeared utterly calm, his fury had already reached its peak.
A dragon had a reverse scale; touch it, and death would follow.
His family and loved ones were his reverse scale. He regarded Qing Lian as his own little sister. Anyone who wanted to touch her would first have to step over his corpse.
"Kekeke, curse away, curse away. You'll be dead soon anyway. I'll use your soul as a Soul King afterward. The soul of a Sixth-Grade Alchemist-now that's a rare find..."
Vulture Protector's face darkened at those words, but a strange cackle escaped him a moment later.
"Heh." Xiao Ling sneered. "You don't know whether I'll die, but whether you die depends on how hard your lives are to snuff out."
With a thought from Xiao Ling, Dragon Sparrow, who had been playing with Dan Yi inside the Pill Cauldron, suddenly vanished...
When he appeared again, rumbling thunder resounded through the sky.
At that very same moment,
Xiao Ling completely released his suppression of his cultivation. An invisible force instantly locked onto everyone beneath the Lightning Tribulation, and its blazing heavenly might weighed upon their hearts.
Under these two Lightning Tribulations, the entire night sky plunged into an eternal darkness.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the rapidly gathering clouds above them, releasing an aura that seemed capable of destroying the world.
Frightened by that aura, Dragon Sparrow flapped his little fleshy wings and quickly flew behind Xiao Ling. His two little claws clung tightly to Xiao Ling's neck as he cried in a babyish voice.
"Daddy, I'm scared... I'm scared..."
Qing Lian froze upon hearing the horned Four-Horned Snake speak.
