150: Instant kill
The moment this thought crossed Lin Xiao's mind, the System's voice immediately rang out within his head.
"Ding! Detecting the current situation faced by the Host, three choices are now provided to the Host!"
Immediately after, a blue light screen appeared.
"Choice One: Ignore Bai Qianqiu, the spy from Jue Tian Palace, and allow him to develop within the Azure Emperor Sect. Reward: High-Grade Saint-Grade Martial Art: Six Paths Brahma Sound!"
"Choice Two: Monitor the Jue Tian Palace spy and uncover his schemes within the Azure Emperor Sect. Reward: High-Grade Sacred Artifact: Heaven-Calculating Chessboard!"
"Choice Three: Step onto the arena and directly kill Bai Qianqiu, this spy from Jue Tian Palace. Reward: Little Secret x1!"
"Another Little Secret?" Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback as he looked at the rewards offered by the System.
Although he really wanted to choose one or two.
In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity and decisively focused his gaze on Choice Three.
"System, I choose three. I want to directly kill this guy named Bai Qianqiu," Lin Xiao said coldly to the System in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for a successful choice, you have received Little Secret x1. It has been transformed into a memory crystal and stored in your System backpack."
As the System's voice faded, Lin Xiao directly leaped onto the arena.
With Lin Xiao's appearance, all the Disciples below the arena immediately cheered again.
However, most of the cheers were for Bai Qianqiu; as for Lin Xiao, only disdain remained.
"Heh heh, another foolish boy has come to deliver a victory to Young Master Bai. After defeating this boy, Young Master Bai will have twelve consecutive wins, right?"
"Yes, Young Master Bai is too amazing. Even Ancient Prodigies like Tao Yaoyao and Feng Tianyang seem to only have ten consecutive wins right now."
"Indeed, those Disciples thought they couldn't defeat Tao Yaoyao and the others, so they all came to challenge Young Master Bai. Do they really think the Inner Sect spots of our Azure Emperor Sect are that easy to obtain?"
"I don't know why, but I can't quite see through that boy's cultivation."
"Who knows? Maybe it's hidden by some Magical Artifact or secret technique."
"Uh, even if he's hidden, what can he do? You wouldn't really think that being handsome means being strong, would you?"
"That's right, I think this boy, although quite a bit better looking than Young Master Bai, is definitely not Young Master Bai's opponent. After all, Young Master Bai is the number one person below the Ancient Prodigies. To defeat Young Master Bai, one would at least need to be at the Peak King Sealing Realm."
Everyone discussed animatedly, filled with a lack of optimism for Lin Xiao.
However, despite their words, Lin Xiao himself didn't care in the slightest.
Because, to truly show off, there must be a twist, and a show-off with a twist is much more interesting to watch.
"Hello, my name is Bai Qianqiu. May I ask who Your Excellency is? I, Bai, never fight nameless individuals in this life."
After Lin Xiao ascended the stage, Bai Qianqiu said to him.
Although his demeanor was respectful, his tone was full of disdain.
"Hmph, my name is Lin Xiao." Lin Xiao smiled faintly, and after speaking, he directly charged towards Bai Qianqiu.
"Good, Lin Xiao, right? I'll remember you..." Bai Qianqiu said after hearing Lin Xiao's words, but before he could finish, he suddenly felt a chill at his neck.
Immediately after, countless streams of blood gushed out from it.
"What... this... how is this possible? Who exactly are you? How can you be so..." Bai Qianqiu said in despair.
But before he could finish his sentence, he collapsed directly into his own pool of blood, completely losing his breath.
With Bai Qianqiu's death, the entire arena below was instantly rocked as if by an eighteen-magnitude earthquake.
"What? Young Master Bai actually... actually lost?!"
"Lost? What lost? He's clearly dead!"
"Who is this Lin Xiao? How can he be so strong?"
"That's right, could he also be an Ancient Prodigy? But if so, why have I never heard of his name at all?"
"Perhaps, like Young Master Bai, he's a rising star from an emerging family."
"Lin Xiao... Lin Xiao, that name sounds so familiar."
"What, brother? Do you know him? Quickly introduce him to me. Whose Disciple is this, to be so powerful?"
"I don't know him, but a few days ago, I heard from my sister in the Inner Sect Hall of Enforcement that the Law Enforcement Hall seemed to have a new Elder, and that Elder's name seemed to be Lin Xiao."
"Heh heh, it's probably just a coincidence of names. If this Lin Xiao were truly an Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, how could he possibly come to participate in such a low-level competition?"
"Speaking of the Law Enforcement Hall, the rules for this third round seem to state that killing among fellow Disciples is forbidden, but Lin Xiao did this..."
"Don't say anymore, look, people from the Inner Sect Hall of Enforcement have already arrived. There's a good show to watch."
Everyone discussed animatedly, their eyes filled with curiosity, envy, and even admiration as they looked at Lin Xiao.
However, compared to these people, Lin Xiao clearly seemed a bit distracted.
He looked at Bai Qianqiu's corpse on the ground with some exasperation, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Sigh, he's too weak. He couldn't even withstand one move from me," Lin Xiao muttered.
He had initially thought this guy was strong and expected a good fight.
The result... "Sigh, still very disappointing," Lin Xiao sighed.
Although his voice was low, everyone in the Azure Emperor Sect was a Cultivator after all.
Naturally, they heard Lin Xiao's words clearly.
So, when they heard Lin Xiao's words below the arena, their mouths couldn't help but twitch slightly.
They felt incredibly speechless. If not for the fact that they weren't familiar with Lin Xiao.
They would really want to rush onto the arena and directly slap Lin Xiao.
Then loudly tell him: "Brother, it's not that Bai Qianqiu is too weak, it's that you are too strong!"
However, just as everyone felt that they were all useless.
Behind them, several solemn and stern voices rang out.
"Move aside, move aside! We have received reports from the public that a malicious injury leading to death has occurred here. We, the Law Enforcement Hall, have been specifically ordered to come and investigate."
"The Law Enforcement Hall is handling business; all irrelevant personnel are to retreat."
"Whether you are a participating Disciple or any other Disciple, all of you retreat for me, or beware of the Law Enforcement Hall's indiscriminate blades."
As the voices of the Law Enforcement Hall Disciples rang out, all the Disciples below the arena immediately changed their expressions.
Following the instructions of the Law Enforcement Hall Disciples, they all retreated to a spot about dozens of meters away from the arena.
Then, their gazes towards Lin Xiao immediately became expectant.
"Sigh, Young Master Lin Xiao was still too impulsive. I wonder how he will deal with this situation," everyone thought, and couldn't help but collectively break out in a cold sweat for Lin Xiao.
After all, most of them had heard of the Law Enforcement Hall's formidable reputation.
Once a Disciple entered the Law Enforcement Hall, unless for special reasons, very few could emerge from it completely unscathed.
The methods of punishment within, just thinking about them, couldn't help but send shivers down one's spine.
