Chapter 28: Black Scarf Evil Thieves

Big Brother, we dont need to talk anymore nonsense with this kid. He must have a lot of money. After all, that Howling Moon Wolf can be sold for thirty to forty thousand taels.

Yea, just kill this kid! He must have the banknotes on him!

The two Black Scarf Thieves looked at each other with greedy eyes before they struck from the left and right, swinging their scimitars toward Ling Xiao.

With two Rank Three Martial Vein martial artists cooperating, their momentum was truly formidable. Their scimitars tore the air, a fierce wind trailing behind their paths.

Fools that dont know life and death!

Ling Xiao smiled in disdain. If this had been before his breakthrough, he might have been a little worried, but now, it was no trouble.

These two Black Scarf Thieves were only free rewards.

Before the other partys attacks came, Ling Xiaos legs pushed against the ground, and he flew up, landing behind them.

Kid, dont run away if you have the skill! One of the thieves taunted him, worried about having their prey escape.

Oh, do you think Im trying to escape?

Hundred Steps Flying Sword!

Ling Xiao suddenly raised his hand and unsheathed the flying sword on his back, shooting it out like a bolt of lightning. The Breeze Sword directly pierced the lefts throat.

Ah!

A blood-curdling scream abruptly ceased. That Black Scarf Thief stretched out his hand as if to grab him, but his pupils were enlarged and unfocused, already seeing the world beyond.

After a pause, he limply fell to the ground.

You killed my Big Brother! I must kill you!

The other person didnt run away. Circulating his true qi within his scimitar, he slashed at Ling Xiao with all his might.

However, Ling Xiao didnt fear blade techniques of this level.

This time, he was too lazy to use his Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique. He directly took a step forward and soared with <Soaring Cloud Steps>. Materializing in front of the remaining Black Scarf Thief, he punched his chest.

Once he moved back, he revealed a gaping hole in that Black Scarf Thiefs chest.

You! You! How is this possible!

The dying Black Scarf Thief didnt understand what had happened. They were both Rank Three Martial Veins; how could the gap between them be so big?

Several hundred meters away, a pair of eyes contained a hue of panic.

If this kid is not disposed of, he will become a hidden trouble in the future. His growth speed is too terrifying

This person was Li Xingyun.

Originally, he had thought that these two Black Scarf Thieves would kill Ling Xiao. Even if they failed, they would at least severely injure him. Then, if he made a move, it would be impossible for Ling Xiao to escape. This had been his foolproof plan.

Who would have thought that the result would be far beyond his expectations?

In addition to Ling Xiaos strength unexpectedly not being much worse than his own, Ling Xiaos speed was far superior.

Without relying on an advanced martial art, Li Xingyun had no way to defeat Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao glanced in his direction and disdainfully smiled. Li Xingyun barely suppressed a shiver. Had it been intentional? He then looted the two corpses.

These two fellows had actually carried 200 taels of silver and two breakthrough pills. This battle had brought a great profit.

After taking these things, he directly stowed them in his Landscape Painting. He then carried those corpses and rushed back to the Ling Clan, wary of any further traps.

When he arrived at the Ling Clans gate, those Ling Clan disciples who had once looked at Ling Xiao with contempt were shocked.

Hey, arent they wearing the uniforms of the Black Scarf Thieves? It is said that even the weakest of the Black Scarf Thieves has a cultivation of Rank Three Martial Vein!

It cant be he who killed them. Hes just a trifling Rank Two Martial Vein. Eh? No, since when did Ling Xiao breakthrough to Rank Three Martial Vein? This is simply too fast!

Really, what is going on?

These people knew clearly that only a dozen or so days ago, Ling Xiao had still been a Rank One Martial Vein martial artist.

At that time, anyone could have bullied him.

Now, Ling Xiao was already a Rank Three Martial Vein martial artist.

This progress was truly too swift, stunning many.

There are rumors that Ling Xiao entered the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range a few days ago and encountered a seriously injured Howling Moon Wolf as well as a lot of medicinal herbs.

I also know of that. That Howling Moon Wolf was injured by Li Xingyun and some other disciples of the Li Clan. Unfortunately, three or four disciples of the Li Clan died, including Li Rui. However, when they returned to look for helpers to seek revenge, this kid took cheap advantage of their hard work.

He truly is shameless!

Simply a disgrace of the Ling Clan!

Yes, if I had those materials from the Howling Moon Wolf and those herbs, I too could have made a breakthrough!

I guess those two Black Scarf Thieves were also cheaply obtained.

Definitely!

Upon hearing these flies buzzing, Ling Xiao only revealed a proud smile.

In the past, no one had noticed him; they would only look for him to vent their frustrations on him.

But today, these people were filled with jealousy and envy. This was truly the greatest revenge. 

Although the events of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range had been falsely portrayed, it was fine as long as the Li Clan didnt complain. 

Now, he was only a ninth-class family member, so the clan would easily surrender him. 

If he achieved a great ranking in the annual competition or collected 100 merit points, he would receive shelter against the Li Clan.

Ling Xiao went to the Punishment Hall and handed over the two Black Scarf Thieves corpses, collecting 200 taels of silver as well as 20 merit points.

Afterward, Ling Xiao decided to rent a house. In the Ling Clan, as long as you had money, this was actually quite simple.

In any case, since they wouldnt stay too long, Ling Xiao decided to splurge a bit and rented a big house with a monthly rent totaling 100 taels of silver.

It had various facilities.

The main things he focused on were the training room, two large bedrooms, a living room, a courtyard, a kitchen, and even two complementary servants.

After handing over the money, he signed the houses contract.

Only then did he return to his original broken house. By now, the construction team had come and started demolishing it to prepare for its reconstruction.

Ling Xiao didnt intend to make his new house too big. In any case, he didnt plan to stay there too long. Besides, if it were too big, it would be a hassle to clean since only his grandfather and he lived there.

It would be sufficient if there were two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a training room.

However, the construction materials had to be of quality.

After discussing his plans with the workers, Ling Xiao and his grandfather Hong Qi moved their things to the rental house with the help of the construction team.

After completing everything, Ling Xiao entered seclusion to cultivate more.

The special training room was much better than an ordinary bedroom. It was safer, and no one would disturb him.

Furthermore, the training room had a special structure, allowing it to withstand strong impacts.

Even a force of 10,000 jin couldnt break it. This allowed Ling Xiao to test his limits.

Closing his eyes, Ling Xiao entered the Landscape Painting and strolled around to inspect his projects.

His herbs were all growing very well. The few demonic beast younglings he had collected were also happily living. Looking at the small beasts frolicking around his martial soul, Ling Xiao was a bit reluctant to treat them as medicinal materials.

Congratulations on upgrading the Landscape Painting to level three. You have obtained some new cards: a level three farmer, level three herdsman, and level three smith.

Smith? That must be a new profession.

Ling Xiao curiously opened the smith card and read its introduction. Soon, he couldnt help but smile in glee.

This is truly a group of versatile smiths. They can forge various weapons, tools, and equipment. As their level increases, their abilities will also grow!

Everything forged by these smiths will have special properties. Do you want to summon a smith?

Not now.

Although Ling Xiao had thousands of silvers and had yet to sell the Howling Moon Wolfs corpse, it would cost money to build a nice house.

In addition, he had yet to think of a job for a smith, so he temporarily put it off.

Now, he only wanted to cultivate the <Bull Demon Technique>.

Currently, he could devour <Pure Yang Technique>, <Barbarian Bull Strength>, <Meteorite Fist>, <Violent Qi Formula>, <Return Qi Formula>, <Rush Steps>, <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>, and two other intermediate movement techniques. While he could have used these movement techniques on <Soaring Cloud Steps>, he wanted <Bull Demon Technique> to incorporate rapid movements as well. After all, in battle, speed was king.

To what extent would this <Bull Demon Technique> progress?
