Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Fratricidal Conflict

Elder Lin Xiaotian, a mid-level Vast Level power and Elder of the Dragon Tiger Palace, who dominated regions within the nearby kingdoms, now lowered his proud head before Fang Bai, incessantly pleading for mercy.

Hidden within the distant bushes, Hu Ren and his family of three couldn’t help but sigh at the scene.

"How much cultivation resources can you offer?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Fang Bai’s face, seemingly moved by the final plea from Lin Xiaotian.

"This... If senior is willing to spare us, we are prepared to offer fifty thousand mid-grade Essence Stones and fifty bottles of mid-grade Elixirs."

Lin Xiaotian hesitated before speaking.

Fang Bai laughed and said, "Is that what your lives are worth, just these cultivation resources? Forget it, I’d rather kill you all..."

As he spoke, he lifted the blood-colored long knife in his hand and swung it through the void. In an instant, the scent of blood permeated in all directions, and a ghastly scene of slaughter appeared before the eyes of Lin Xiaotian and the others, as if they were in the depths of hell, their hearts trembling with fear.

"Wait, please wait, senior!"

Lin Xiaotian knew that the blood-colored long knife in Fang Bai’s hand was a terrifying Spiritual Artifact that could influence one’s mind. He quickly closed his eyes to avoid being deceived by the illusion, while shouting out loud.

"We are willing to offer one hundred thousand mid-grade Essence Stones and a hundred bottles of mid-grade Elixirs! Please spare our lives, senior!"

Seeing that Fang Bai had only made a feint with the knife and had not attacked, Lin Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Bai chuckled and said, "So many Dragon Tiger Palace disciples, and you think so few cultivation resources are enough to buy your lives? Elder Lin, do you take me for a beggar, to be dismissed with just a trifle?"

Lin Xiaotian was stunned and wailed, "Senior, that’s all we can gather! If there’s a single falsehood in what I’ve said, may lightning strike me down, and may I die a horrific death!"

Fang Bai gently stroked the blood-colored long knife and sighed, "One hundred thousand mid-grade Essence Stones and a hundred bottles of mid-grade Elixirs... can only buy one of your lives. Now tell me, whom should I spare? Hmm, from now on, I’ll give you thirty breaths to discuss amongst yourselves. Once thirty breaths have passed, if you haven’t decided who to spare, then I’ll kill all of you! Rest assured, I keep my word!"

"Ah?"

Lin Xiaotian and the other Dragon Tiger Palace disciples hadn’t expected Fang Bai to say such a thing and were stunned.

The mid-grade Essence Stones and mid-grade Elixirs, being far more helpful to a martial artist than the low-grade ones, were thus very precious and expensive. Even if Lin Xiaotian and the others used up all their accumulated cultivation resources, that was all they could muster.

There were more than a dozen Dragon Tiger Palace disciples present, and Lin Xiaotian being the most esteemed in status and strongest in strength, it would undoubtedly be him who should be spared if the resources could only save one person.

Yet, no matter their status or strength, each of the Dragon Tiger Palace disciples had only one life to give, and who would be willing to relinquish this sole chance for survival?

"Elder Lin, you are an Elder of the Dragon Tiger Palace, and your survival is of greater use to the palace than ours! Therefore... we’ve decided to leave this hope of living to you..."

One of the stewards of the Dragon Tiger Palace fell to his knees before Lin Xiaotian with tears streaming down his face.

However, as he cried, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, while the hand holding the Spiritual Artifact tightened.

"Steward Liu, what is this... Ah, get up! Quickly..."

Lin Xiaotian and Steward Liu usually had a good relationship, standing as allies within the Dragon Tiger Palace. Seeing this, Lin Xiaotian hastily reached to help Steward Liu.

Just as his hands were about to touch Steward Liu’s body, a sudden change occurred.

A green glow flashed by, and the short sword in Steward Liu’s hand, filled with a strong urge to kill, thrust rapidly towards Lin Xiaotian’s Qi Sea.

The Qi Sea is where Martial Artists store their Essence Energy, making it the most vital part of a Martial Artist’s body. If it were punctured, one would either die or be crippled.

In Steward Liu’s mind, even though Lin Xiaotian was much stronger than him, with his own sudden move and Lin Xiaotian caught off guard, the chance of successfully killing him was still high.

Once Lin Xiaotian died, he, Steward Liu, would be the strongest among the Dragon Tiger Palace Disciples present. With a burst of effort, dealing with the other fellow disciples would then open a path to survival.

However, Steward Liu had underestimated Lin Xiaotian’s shrewdness.

As an Elder of the Dragon Tiger Palace, Lin Xiaotian, who had roamed the True Martial Realm for decades, was quite the sly fox. Steward Liu’s sudden kneeling was highly abnormal and did not match his usual character. Lin Xiaotian sneered inwardly, knowing this man harbored ill intentions.

Steward Liu’s expression changed abruptly, his Spiritual Artifact thrusting forward with undeniable speed. But Lin Xiaotian, prepared for the attack, moved even faster.

The hands that Lin Xiaotian had reached out to help Steward Liu with accelerated forward, landing on Steward Liu’s shoulders before the Spiritual Artifact could reach his Qi Sea, immediately clenching down with force.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Almost simultaneously, two crisp sounds of bones breaking echoed as Steward Liu cried out miserably, his arms falling limp, the thrust Spiritual Artifact clanging to the ground.

"Elder Lin, spare me..."

Having failed in his sneak attack, Steward Liu knew the consequence he would face. His face turned ashen as he begged for mercy.

"Heh..."

Lin Xiaotian wore an emotionless grin and then his right leg kicked out like lightning.

"Ah!"

Struck in the Qi Sea by Lin Xiaotian’s kick, Steward Liu let out a chilling wail, his body flying high before crashing to the ground, dead beyond doubt.

Lin Xiaotian had poured all his strength into that kick. A Vast Level mid-tier expert’s strike was something Steward Liu couldn’t possibly withstand. His Qi Sea was shattered by the kick, resulting in his untimely death.

From the moment Steward Liu knelt before Lin Xiaotian to his death by Lin Xiaotian’s kick, all had happened in the mere span of a few breaths, so that when Steward Liu’s body hit the ground, the other Dragon Tiger Palace Disciples were still in a state of shocked stupefaction, unable to react.

And that moment of stupefaction became an eternal nightmare for those Dragon Tiger Palace Disciples.

Having killed Steward Liu, Lin Xiaotian, now like a Spirit Beast provoked into ferocity, was emanating an aura of slaughter as he darted among the stunned Dragon Tiger Palace Disciples, ceaselessly throwing punches.

A Vast Level mid-tier expert, extraordinarily strong, was certainly not someone those Desolate Level Realm Disciples of the Dragon Tiger Palace could contend with, could they?

With every punch Lin Xiaotian threw, a Dragon Tiger Palace Disciple would be sent flying away, falling dead on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Dragon Tiger Palace Disciples were killed by Lin Xiaotian, lying several zhang away around him, each with eyes wide open in death.

This scene of Dragon Tiger Palace Disciples slaughtering each other was something Hu Ren and his family, hiding in the distant bushes, watched with shock and an unspeakable feeling of exhilaration.

"Senior, can I go now?"

After killing the last Dragon Tiger Palace Disciple, Lin Xiaotian exhaled softly, turned to face Fang Bai, and asked with a hoarse voice.

Lin Xiaotian had killed Steward Liu and the others out of self-defense, a necessary act for survival; he knew that if word of this incident reached the Dragon Tiger Palace, they would not spare him, from top to bottom.

Thus, Lin Xiaotian had already decided that after leaving this place, he would flee far away and seek refuge within another Sect.
