Revealing My Edge, Facing the Grand Steward
Tianxue Junjie was aggressive, his large hand like a canopy overhead, striking towards Ling Xiao. He was neither careless nor holding back, preparing to win with a single blow.
Faced with this powerful attack, Ling Xiao became serious. Tianxue Junjie's cultivation level was far superior to the one hanging in the tree.
He is still recovering from his injuries, so we cannot be careless; even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
Immediately, the phantom of a divine cauldron appeared, Ling Xiao used the Primordial Divine Cauldron Grand Alchemy Dao for the first time.
A golden pill condensed and spun rapidly, radiating dazzling golden light. Without hesitation, it was swallowed whole.
Boom...
An overwhelming aura of terror erupted, like a volcanic eruption, bursting forth all at once.
A continuous stream of immense energy surged forth from all parts of Ling Xiao's body, causing his entire body to burn.
He clenched his fist as if he were holding the entire world in his grasp, concentrating all his power into a single point, and then unleashed a powerful punch.
Fist and palm strike!
"Boom..."
A violent burst of energy exploded between the two, creating turbulent air currents throughout the sky.
Tianxue Junjie's expression changed drastically as he felt the terrifying power emanating from his hand, seemingly endless and without limit.
He exerted all his magical power, but to no avail. The immense power of the Primordial Divine Cauldron Great Golden Pill was not something that could be easily neutralized.
"Hiss..."
A mouthful of blood gushed out, and Tianxue Junjie flew far, far away like a kite with a broken string, landing precisely on a tree, the same crooked tree as Tianxue Cheng.
All of this happened very quickly, it was like a fleeting moment.
Everyone was stunned into Ruomu, and the ground was almost soaked.
Even the Junjie young master was no match for him, and was left hanging from the tree?
The two women who happened to arrive, Tianxue Yaoyue and Tianxue Ji, were equally dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered glances.
No one could have imagined that Ling Xiao would be able to defeat Tianxue Junjie, who was at the fifth level of the Primordial Taiji realm.
"That large cauldron and the golden pill just now..."
Tianxue Yaoyue's eyes flickered as she recalled the scene from just moments ago. Although it was fleeting, her intuition told her that the problem lay there.
Ling Xiao casually finished off his opponent, the immense power within him slowly dissipated, and his aura vanished.
He saw the two women standing in the distance, looking lost in thought, and waved to them.
"Miss Yukihime, you've come at the perfect time! I was just about to look for you!"
"Oh... Ah! What do you want?" Tianxue Ji was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran up to him.
"Are you healed?"
Tianxue Yaoyue had a shrewd and calculating look on her face, as if she knew something. If Ling Xiao be so powerful?
Moreover, his own life essence was with him. With the blessing of the essence, it seemed plausible that he had managed to defeat Tianxue Junjie by sheer luck.
In the short time it took her to step forward, Tianxue Yaoyue filled in a lot of blanks in her mind, answered all her doubts, made sense of them, and even made the unreasonable seem reasonable.
Her knowing expression completely baffled Ling Xiao, who wondered when this woman had become such a know-it-all.
No, it should be "Expert Sister"!
"Miss Xueji, I would like to ask you to provide me with some medicinal herbs." Ling Xiao ignored Dong Jie's strange behavior and turned to Tianxue Ji to say.
"What do you need the medicinal herbs for?" Tianxue Ji was still curious, but Yao Yue, who was standing to the side, already understood everything.
Based on the divine cauldron and golden elixir that had just appeared, she deduced that Ling Xiao might be refining pills.
"I am an alchemist, and I want to refine some pills to heal my injuries," Ling Xiao said in a serious tone, his change of identity very smooth.
"You're an alchemist?" Tianxue Ji exclaimed in surprise, while Dong Jie beside her showed an expression of "I knew it," just as she had thought.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, offering no further explanation.
"Oh! No need for that trouble. If you want the pills, Elder Yao Chen can refine them for you."
Tianxue Ji smiled and said, as if to say, "Don't be shy, just let me know if you need anything."
Ling Xiao shook his head. "He can't refine the pills I need."
Upon hearing this, the two women exchanged a glance, unable to suppress a smile. Even Elder Yao Chen couldn't refine this pill, so how could you possibly do it?
"Young friend Ling Xiao, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?"
Just then, Tianxue Yaochen flew over. He originally wanted to come and help, but he happened to overhear what Ling Xiao said.
He immediately felt a surge of dissatisfaction. Although he hadn't healed Ling Xiao's injuries, he shouldn't have belittled him like that, should he?
Ling Xiao remained calm and composed, showing no embarrassment even when caught by the person involved; in fact, he was speaking openly and honestly.
"I'm not talking nonsense; you really can't refine the pills I need."
"What a joke! You say it's some kind of elixir, and if you can name it, I can refine it."
"Just say it and you can practice it!"
Elder Yao Chen was so angry that he glared and his beard bristled, feeling that he had been greatly insulted.
Moreover, it's in the field where they are most skilled, most professional, and most proud.
"It's too early to say for sure, let's try refining it first."
"Let's go, take me to where you refine pills."
Ling Xiao stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and tried to calm him down.
I was afraid he'd get so excited he'd turn his back on me.
"Whoosh..."
Tianxue Yaochen tried their best to calm their excited emotions, wanting to see what tricks Ling Xiao would play.
Just as they were about to leave, a cold voice rang out.
"You hit my grandson, and you think you can just leave like that?"
With a whooshing sound, Tianxue Changming appeared silently in the arena, floating in the void, coldly looking down at Ling Xiao.
Immediately, a commotion arose, and the crowd sneered. With the Grand Steward present, this outsider was in for trouble.
"They beat up the young one, and the old one comes; it just doesn't change, no matter where you are..."
Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself. He wasn't even surprised; he had expected it.
"Huh? What did you say?" Upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, Tianxue Changming's eyes flashed with cold light, and his body surged with a substantial aura, pressing down on him.
Boom...
With a tremendous tremor, the ground beneath Ling Xiao's feet sank, creating a deep crater.
But his body remained upright, standing like a monument.
"Old man, you're playing with fire!"
Ling Xiao's face was cold, golden light flashed in his eyes, and killing intent had arisen in his heart.
"Grand Steward, what are you doing? Ling Xiao is a guest of our clan!"
Tianxue Ji stood in front of Ling Xiao and shouted loudly.
"Guests? Coming to my Snow Heaven Clan to flaunt our power and injure people at will, what kind of guest is this? Miss Xueji, don't be fooled by him!"
Tianxue Changming frowned and said indifferently.
"Chief Steward, have you forgotten what the clan leader said? Ling Xiao was brought by Xue Ji, you can't touch him. Once he leaves the Snow Heaven Clan, you can do whatever you want with him."
Just when the atmosphere became tense, Tianxue Yaoyue broke the deadlock by speaking up to protect Ling Xiao.
After hearing his words, Tianxue Changming hesitated for a moment and then dispelled the murderous aura emanating from his body.
"We'll let you live a little longer for now. They can protect you for a while, but not forever!"
