Chapter 1715: Cannon Fodder and Elite
Ling Xiao disliked talking with his head raised, so he immediately soared into the air, pushing Liu Lian directly towards Lord Liu.
"You two just stay calmly aside and watch."
He then looked straight at Sun Yuan Ji and sneered, "Standing in the air and looking down on others, do you really think your strength is superior?
Do you know how stupid your behavior is?
Your two brothers also perished because of this arrogant attitude.
You're next!"
Everyone looked at Ling Xiao with astonished expressions.
Could it be that Ling Xiao truly intends to clash with Sun Yuan Ji?
The next moment, they affirmed their thoughts.
Ling Xiao suddenly erupted with an incredibly terrifying battle intent which immediately pressed back the killing intent released by Sun Yuan Ji.
Making Liu Lian and Lord Liu, including the other Martial Artists of the Willis Clan, feel much more at ease.
Is he really going to fight?
Does this guy not see the gap between himself and his opponent?
Sun Yuan Ji still stood high above, with an extremely arrogant demeanor.
He looked at Ling Xiao with disdain, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
A Martial Artist with merely Yin-Yang Realm Fourth Level cultivation actually wants to battle him, a Martial Artist with Yin-Yang Realm Eighth Level cultivation.
It's truly laughable.
Do Martial Artists from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent all lack brains?
"Ling Xiao, you might be considered the foremost among young Martial Artists on the Dragon and Phoenix Continent, but here, you aren't even worth a fart! You should know my name, Sun Yuan Ji, don't you?
All Martial Artists from the Heavenly Dragon Continent and Divine Phoenix Continent are insignificant before me, Sun Yuan Ji!"
Sun Yuan Ji was displeased, for according to his expectations, Ling Xiao should either be terrified and flee rolling and crawling under his reputation.
Or directly kneel and beg for mercy.
Only then could his strength and nobility be truly displayed.
Yet this young man actually wants to fight him?
Like a ridiculous rabbit shouting before a Fierce Tiger.
Although ridiculous, it made the Fierce Tiger quite annoyed.
"Why should I flee? You think you're a Fierce Tiger and I'm a rabbit, but little did you know, you're merely a sick sheep draped in tiger's skin, while I might be a malicious wolf draped in sheep's skin!"
Ling Xiao said calmly, "Since I came to the Tianhai Empire, many Tianhai Empire Martial Artists have flaunted their strength to me, looking down on me, a Martial Artist from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent.
Yet their outcomes were without exception all catastrophic defeats, even death!
Do you think you will be any different?"
"Flaunting, huh?"
Sun Yuan Ji laughed, "I don't need to flaunt at all, I, Sun Yuan Ji, rank among the top twenty young Martial Artists in the Tianhai Empire, this is my honor!
If you had any self-awareness, you wouldn't posture before me like this.
Because you are not worthy!"
Sun Yuan Ji has always looked down on Ling Xiao.
The Tianhai Empire is a gathering place for geniuses, surpassing countless of the Divine Phoenix Continent.
For Sun Yuan Ji to stand out and rank in the top twenty, this is a symbol of power.
A symbol of status.
He has every reason to be proud, especially facing a Martial Artist from a small place like Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was merely invited as a candidate Martial Artist cannon fodder, how could he compare to someone like Sun Yuan Ji who emerged through layers of selection?
The crowd watching shares the same thoughts, their gaze towards Sun Yuan Ji filled with awe and reverence.
People looked at Ling Xiao, hoping to see the same reverence and fear in his eyes.
Yet they were disappointed.
What they saw from Ling Xiao was coldness and scorn.
His facial expression was actually full of sarcasm.
"Is being able to participate in the White Tiger Summit really worthy of pride? You say you emerged through layers of selection, do you think the candidate Martial Artists from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent did not go through selection?"
Ling Xiao glanced at Sun Yuan Ji, truly thinking this person is ignorant.
For this White Tiger Summit, numerous young geniuses on the Divine Phoenix Continent have died.
Ling Xiao himself nearly got killed.
And this effort is seen as worthless by others?
"Is it not? You just haven't encountered Martial Artists from the Tianhai Empire as candidates, otherwise, could you still be alive now?"
Sun Yuan Ji sneered with disdain.
"Heh."
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly, "I haven't encountered them? Apparently, you indeed look down on me, not even investigating what I did after coming to the Tianhai Empire.
You know the Diyi Ying from the Water Temple and the Dragon Crown Prince, right? They're also candidates for the White Tiger Summit, but I killed them!
You know Qijing Tower, right? When I was on the fifteenth floor, I accidentally killed a few of your so-called genius Martial Artists from the Tianhai Empire, they're also candidates for the White Tiger Summit.
And their expressions and tone back then were just like yours now.
The same ignorance, the same idiocy.
Oh, right, your brothers Sun Wu Ji and Sun Wu Shuang are also candidates for the White Tiger Summit, right? Sorry, they were too weak, so I killed them too.
If you tell me these Tianhai Empire failures are all selected through selection, then I'm truly disappointed, I don't know where your pride comes from?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately burst into exclamations.
Many people felt like their brains were about to explode; the amount of information was too overwhelming.
They vaguely heard this Ling guy hailed from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent, seemingly some Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty.
But they utterly knew nothing about what Ling Xiao did after arriving in the Tianhai Empire.
They thought even the worst candidate Martial Artist from the Tianhai Empire should be stronger than the strongest candidate Martial Artist from the Dragon and Phoenix Continent.
Yet Ling Xiao's words were like a muffled thunder, dumbfounding everyone.
Lord Liu looked at Ling Xiao wide-eyed and open-mouthed, although he knew Ling Xiao was gifted and daring.
He still never expected this young man to have killed several so-called geniuses participating in the White Tiger Summit in such a short time after arriving in the Tianhai Empire.
Liu Lian looked at Ling Xiao, her gaze filled with admiration unchanged.
She liked Ling Xiao not because of his strength but because Ling Xiao saved her and her father.
She felt this man could be trusted for a lifetime.
"So what? It still doesn't change the fact that you're just a waste! Whom did you kill among those in the top twenty of the Tianhai Empire candidates?"
Sun Yuan Ji was somewhat surprised but not too shocked.
With Ling Xiao's strength to kill his brother Sun Wu Shuang, then killing a few candidates is not surprising.
"Seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Ling Xiao sneered, "As you said, I indeed haven't killed anyone in the top twenty of the Tianhai Empire candidates.
But that's merely because I haven't encountered them, today you'll make up for that regret."
"Arrogant!"
Sun Yuan Ji shouted, "Your luck ends now!"
As he spoke, his battle intent erupted, filled with immense fighting spirit.
Ling Xiao must die!
