"Also, this is the Baroque Kingdom, not your Star Luo Empire, much less the Fire Leopard Sect."
"So your threats mean nothing to me."
"You—"
Si Tingxuan nearly angered the man and woman into coughing up blood.
Si Tingxuan then took out a dagger from his robes, one he usually used to cut meat in the wild, and held it out before Yun Piaopiao. "Didn't she kill your brother? Don't you want revenge? Go on!"
Well!
Deep down, he was the kind of teacher who fiercely protected his own!
Although Yun Piaopiao's looks left something to be desired, since he had decided to take her in, he naturally would not allow anyone to bully her.
"Ah?"
Yun Piaopiao's face was full of shock and confusion.
Helping her earlier could be considered Si Tingxuan taking pity on her.
But why was he helping her take revenge now?
Yet she quickly grew excited, tossing all her confusion aside.
Revenge—how distant and unattainable it had once been for her. Yet now, it stood right before her.
She gritted her teeth, then took the dagger with a determined expression.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to become mortal enemies with the Fire Leopard Sect? Aren't you afraid they'll hunt you down?"
Si Tingxuan sneered coldly inwardly. Without the system, he might have been somewhat wary.
But now that he had the system, he could grow stronger in an extremely short time.
By then, if the Fire Leopard Sect came looking for trouble, he would kill one if one came, wipe out both if two came.
So he directly ignored the threat.
He gave Yun Piaopiao a faint smile. "Go on! Don't be afraid. If either of them dares interfere, we'll leave them here too today!"
"You've gone too far! Do you really think I, Huo Yan, am some pushover?"
The man among the three from the Fire Leopard Sect now looked like a lion bursting with rage.
His hair was practically standing on end.
At the same time, he no longer cared about the strength Si Tingxuan had displayed earlier.
His sixth Soul Ring lit up. "Sixth Soul Ring Skill - Fire Leopard Assault!"
Soul Power surged wildly from his body, followed by a violent eruption of flames that formed an enormous fire leopard around him.
In an instant, scorching heat waves swept through the entire Auction House.
The surrounding people were so frightened that they retreated in panic.
Si Tingxuan acted as though he saw nothing. Without even raising his head, he asked Yun Piaopiao, "Do you trust me?"
Yun Piaopiao nodded firmly.
If she wanted to avenge her brother now, then she could only choose to trust Si Tingxuan.
Si Tingxuan smiled faintly. "Then keep walking forward without stopping. I won't let anyone harm even a hair on your head."
"Mm."
Filled with boundless hatred, Yun Piaopiao stared fixedly at the woman in red below the stage.
Then she took her first step.
At the same time, Huo Yan's Soul Skill was complete. Together with the giant fire leopard, he charged straight at Yun Piaopiao and Si Tingxuan.
Yun Piaopiao's heart trembled!
How could she not be afraid when facing a Soul Emperor's strongest attack?
Yet she still resolutely took her second step.
She still chose to trust Si Tingxuan!
Whoosh.
The Ice Flame Dual Swords appeared in his hands.
With a wave of his hand, the Flame Sword immediately flew before Yun Piaopiao and began circling around her.
Meanwhile, he held the Ice Sword himself.
At the same time, he activated Icy Palm.
Cold air surged madly into the Ice Sword martial soul.
The Ice Sword martial soul instantly began trembling as if it had been injected with a stimulant.
"Icy Slash!"
Si Tingxuan swung his sword at the charging Huo Yan!
Whoosh.
A slash formed from cold air shot directly toward Huo Yan and his giant fire leopard.
Wherever the slash passed, the ground was instantly covered in solid ice.
Even the air twisted and distorted!
The next instant, ice and fire collided violently.
Yet there was no intense clash.
Nor was there an explosion from the collision of two opposing extremes, ice and fire.
Instead, in an instant, ice gained absolute dominance.
The flames were instantly extinguished beneath the cold air!
The giant fire leopard also vanished without a trace. Huo Yan within it was directly frozen into an ice sculpture.
Hiss.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath once again.
If Si Tingxuan knocking out a Soul Emperor with one palm earlier could still be attributed somewhat to catching him off guard—
Then this Soul Skill clash was a genuine, undisputed one-shot kill!
A smile appeared on Yun Piaopiao's face, and her steps became lighter as excitement stirred in her heart.
"Brother, today, your revenge will finally be taken!"
The last remaining woman in white from the Fire Leopard Sect looked at Si Tingxuan in terror.
She looked at the woman in red lying on the ground, then at the frozen Huo Yan.
Finally, she looked at Yun Piaopiao, who was walking closer step by step, and gritted her teeth. "I'll fight you!"
However, she did not reveal it on her face at all.
Just as Yun Piaopiao passed in front of her, she lunged forward.
In her view, since Si Tingxuan valued Yun Piaopiao so much, as long as she captured her, Si Tingxuan would not dare act recklessly.
"Ah!"
This startled Yun Piaopiao badly. She had thought that after Si Tingxuan displayed such absolute strength twice—
This person would neither dare nor be willing to make another move.
After all, wasn't it better to stay alive?
But the smile on her face rose again the next second.
Because just as the woman in white was about to grab her, a hand reached out.
It seized the woman in white by the arm instead.
The chill emanating from that hand could be felt even from half a meter away.
The woman in white turned her head in terror and discovered that Si Tingxuan had somehow already appeared at her side.
He was staring at her coldly.
Gulp.
She swallowed hard. Never before had she felt Death standing so close to her.
Then, an icy chill that pierced her soul instantly spread throughout her body.
Her entire body stiffened.
Stab.
With every obstacle gone, Yun Piaopiao immediately rushed forward and viciously drove the dagger in her hand into the red-clothed woman's chest.
Blood sprayed wildly, splashing quite a bit onto Yun Piaopiao, who stood so close.
But she did not care in the slightest.
Instead, she burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Brother, I've finally avenged you!"
She was even somewhat hysterical at this moment.
In the end, she broke down crying again. "Sob, sob, sob..."
Only after quite a while did she calm down. Then she slowly stood up under everyone's watchful gaze.
She walked to Si Tingxuan, then knelt before him. "I can never repay your great kindness in this lifetime. Piao Piao can only remain by your side as a maidservant, serving you for the rest of my life to repay your great kindness!"
Si Tingxuan's face twitched as he thought to himself, The disciple I had my eye on wants to be my maidservant. What kind of development is this?
And with that face of yours, if you really became my maidservant, I'm afraid I'd lose my appetite for one meal every day. No—two meals!
Yun Piaopiao noticed Si Tingxuan's expression and immediately remembered that her face was currently disguised.
That appearance... becoming someone's maidservant like that was going too far.
How was this repaying kindness?
This was simply repaying kindness with enmity!
