208: Give you hope, and then make you despair

At this moment, Li Cheng was the most bewildered.

He never expected that these people, while pleading for Yu Xiu's help, would utter such outrageous threats.

Do they not have brains?

But if you don't have brains, don't step forward and harm me!

Infamy for ten thousand years?

A national criminal?

If all of you die here, who the hell would even know about these things?

Useless threats are for imbeciles.

"Yu Xiu, listen to me, I don't mean that, I'm not like them."

Li Cheng grew anxious.

He quickly shouted towards the sky.

The distance was great, and although he couldn't see Yu Xiu's expression, he could imagine that Yu Xiu must be grim-faced at this moment.

If he didn't seize this Opportunity to declare his attitude and stance, he would probably die here.

"Yu Xiu, our Family, and even all of us, are your most loyal servants. Please save us!"

"Yu Xiu, I'll kneel for you!"

"Yu Xiu..."

Li Cheng knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, but Yu Xiu still didn't respond.

Instead, Ji Shaotian gave an order, and a group of black-robed figures rushed towards Li Cheng.

Seeing this scene,

Li Cheng stopped pretending, finally revealing a ferocious expression, and cursed, "Yu Xiu, you will not die a good death! I won't let you off even as a ghost!"

"I came here to ambush you for the Martial God's Opportunity!"

"I curse you to not die a good death!"

"You will definitely be cut into a thousand pieces by these black-robed people! You won't die a good death..."

In the crowd, Ji Shaotian watched Li Cheng's瘋狂 behavior, a playful look on his face.

"Tell that kid, if he can kill the people around him, I'll spare his life."

The person next to Ji Shaotian heard this and looked at Li Cheng with a pitiful gaze.

Because he knew very well what kind of personality his Young Lord had.

Although he said he would spare his life now, it was nothing more than teasing Li Cheng.

Once he had killed everyone around him and was filled with hope, his Young Lord would surely respond with a butcher's knife.

That feeling of gaining hope only to be plunged into despair was Ji Shaotian's specialty.

"You!"

"Kill everyone around you, and your life will be spared."

Li Cheng heard this, and seeing that the other party was also wearing a black robe, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Is that true?"

"You have no right to question. Believe it or not."

The person's voice was extremely cold, giving off an air of superiority.

At this moment, Li Cheng hesitated.

It was then that

the group of wealthy young masters from the capital around him all changed their expressions and moved away from Li Cheng.

"Brother Cheng, you're not really going to kill us, are you? Don't believe their words."

"Li Cheng, think it through."

"Although you are very strong, there are so many of us, you are not our match."

Li Cheng's brows furrowed even tighter as he heard these words. The reason he hesitated was precisely because of the sheer number of people.

With his strength, he couldn't kill all of them without sustaining any injuries.

In the end, he would still die.

"Give him three people."

Ji Shaotian's mocking voice rang out.

The person beside him waved his hand at three black-robed figures not far away, "You three, go help him."

Seeing the three black-robed figures approach,

Li Cheng finally no longer hesitated.

Instead, it was the faces of those wealthy young masters from the capital that suddenly changed drastically at this moment.

Three black-robed Great Grandmasters—they clearly couldn't be a match.

"Brothers, when I leave the Qilin Relic alive, I will burn for you..."

Li Cheng grinned ferociously, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw the three black-robed figures had already rushed over.

So he said no more, quickening his pace, fearing that he wouldn't kill enough people later.

"These commoners are truly interesting. To survive, they are even willing to kill their own kind. They are truly deranged!"

Seeing Li Cheng, with the help of the three black-robed figures, completely unleash himself,

his attacks were extremely vicious.

Every move aimed at a vital point.

"Don't the others stop either!"

"I still love the sound of these screams; it's simply the most beautiful and melodious music in the world."

Ji Shaotian took a deep breath, an expression of enjoyment on his face, "The smell of blood, what a wonderful smell!"

As he said this, Ji Shaotian looked up at Yu Xiu in the sky.

"High and mighty, unconcerned?"

"Indeed, it's a common ailment of commoners. Later, when my Ten Thousand Souls Grand Formation is activated, I hope you can maintain this posture."

Ji Shaotian smiled cruelly.

It was as if the scene of humiliating and torturing Yu Xiu had already appeared in his mind.

Minute by minute passed.

Yu Xiu remained indifferent.

Like a deity, he sat high in the sky, looking down on everything in the human world.

At this moment,

Li Cheng, with the help of the three black-robed figures, had also killed all the wealthy young masters from the capital.

He was covered in blood!

He immediately bowed respectfully to the three black-robed figures, "Thank you, sirs, for your assistance."

However,

the next moment, the three black-robed figures suddenly attacked, and Li Cheng's two arms and two legs fell to the ground as blades sliced through them.

"Ah!!!"

"Why, why?"

Intense pain struck. Li Cheng was first stunned, then he screamed frantically.

However, the three black-robed figures completely ignored him, turning and killing elsewhere.

"See that!"

"Look at his despairing expression, listen to his angry screams, how interesting."

With Li Cheng losing his limbs, Ji Shaotian immediately burst out laughing, and it was this action that completely made Yu Xiu lock onto him.

When Wu Lei and the others had told Chu Tianjiao earlier, Yu Xiu had already heard their conversation through his mind.

He also knew that the mastermind came from the No Mans Land and was named Ji Shaotian.

Because Ji Shaotian's messages had been very secretive before, Yu Xiu hadn't paid attention to him.

Of course,

it was also because he hadn't deliberately sought him out.

In Yu Xiu's view, there was no need to waste effort searching.

Once this matter was resolved,

Ji Shaotian would definitely step forward.

To proclaim the victor's stance.

"Young Lord!"

The black-robed person beside him was also startled.

He hadn't expected Ji Shaotian to expose himself and become arrogant at this moment.

So he looked warily at Yu Xiu in the sky, fearing that the other party would suddenly come and attack his Young Lord.

However,

after watching for a long time,

he found that Yu Xiu remained unmoved.

This made him very puzzled.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems he hasn't noticed!"

Ji Shaotian also quickly reined in his smile, looked up at Yu Xiu, and seeing him unmoved, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What Rank is the vengeful spirit now?"

"Seven-star Martial King!"

"Speed it up even more."

Despite being sure that Yu Xiu hadn't made a move, Ji Shaotian still felt a sense of crisis.

The vengeful spirit's Rank was not yet enough to completely crush Yu Xiu, and he was still very flustered inside.

He was merely feigning composure.

"From now on, you are fully in charge of the operation, understand?"

"Understood, Young Lord!"

Ji Shaotian nodded slightly, then, at an extremely fast speed, disappeared into the crowd.

Clearly, he was afraid.

It seemed that only by hiding himself in the crowd, like a needle thrown into the ocean, did Ji Shaotian feel much more at ease.

"Soon, soon!"

"Yu Xiu, later, this Young Lord wants your life, this Young Lord still wants the Opportunity of the Qilin Divine Hall. Everything that belongs to you, this Young Lord will seize it all for himself."

Ji Shaotian looked up at the Qilin Divine Hall in the sky; its complete manifestation was not far off.
