Chapter 2514: Chapter 2517: Outhouse Ambush: Eleven Unlucky Geniuses

On the road leading to Eight Immortals Mountain. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Jian Tianchen and the other ten were walking up the mountain, looking quite relaxed and carefree, sightseeing and hurrying along at the same time.

However, all of a sudden, the ground collapsed. Before they could react, they all fell into a foul-smelling muddy pit.

In an instant, whether it was the elegant young lords or the graceful young ladies, they were all turned into mud people.

The stench wafting off their bodies even attracted all the dung beetles nearby.

They tried to soar out of the mud pit, but suddenly realized that it was as if something under their feet was dragging them down; they struggled and simply couldn’t break free.

"Not good, this isn’t an ordinary mud pit, this is an Array Formation!"

The well‑informed Kong Yue cried out in shock.

Among these people, he was considered the one who knew the most about Array Formations, so he could discover it so quickly.

"Tsk tsk, not bad, someone can still react."

In the void, a figure slowly appeared, a mocking cold smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

"Ling Xiao, you bastard, what do you want?"

Jian Liufeng shouted in fury.

He wanted to pull himself out of the mud pit, but for the moment it seemed impossible.

The others all wore dark expressions as well, clearly extremely displeased.

An Ming’s face was as gloomy as it could possibly get.

A person can endure, but there’s always a limit. Once that limit is exceeded, they naturally can’t take it anymore.

"What do I want? That depends on you first—just who hired that piece‑of‑trash snack to assassinate me?"

Ling Xiao said coldly, "I didn’t kill you lot, only for the sake of the bigger picture, so don’t fail to appreciate my kindness!

Oh right, how did that shit you tasted feel in your mouth? Want me to let you try a few more bites?"

He sneered and flicked his hand, and a bizarre mud monster actually surfaced in that muddy pit.

Its whole body was soft and saggy, looking extremely disgusting.

"Ling Xiao, don’t go too far. You humiliate us like this, do you really think we don’t dare to kill you?"

Heiye Wuzun roared.

At this moment, he was simply enraged to the extreme. The woman he loved, An Ming, cherished cleanliness the most, yet now she was covered in stench from head to toe. For a woman who loves cleanliness, this was simply unbearable.

"Heh, I went too far? When you hired people to assassinate me, you didn’t think that was going too far?"

Ling Xiao sneered and directly gave the mud monster an order.

The mud monster pounced at them.

They fought desperately to block it, but the mud monster was blasted apart, and a huge amount of muddy Water once again drenched them all like drowned chickens.

But at this moment, the unwillingly humiliated Kong Yue took out his own Magical Treasure—the Space Blue Treasure Book.

Then a strange light flashed, and they all escaped the area controlled by Ling Xiao’s Array Formation.

"Hey yo, what a magical treasure. Truly worthy of being a Magical Treasure of the Kong Clan, even I feel a bit envious just looking at it."

Seeing them escape the Array Formation, Ling Xiao didn’t mind at all.

Anyway, with these people’s strength, killing him was simply impossible.

"Ling Xiao, today is the day you die!"

Having escaped the Array Formation, Jian Liufeng could no longer suppress the rage in his heart; he roared as he was about to rush in to kill Ling Xiao.

"Liufeng, don’t rush!"

Once again, he was stopped by Jian Tianchen.

"Big brother! That brat is too infuriating. We’re the top geniuses of Eight Immortals County City, how can we be humiliated by this piece of trash like this?

Without that woman, without Ling Yan, he’s not even worth a fart!"

Jian Liufeng roared.

"I know. This time, I don’t intend to stop you.

Human patience has a limit.

This Ling Xiao is only at the Cultivation Level of the First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell, Early Stage. The fact that he defeated Heiye Wuzun was nothing but an accident.

If someone hadn’t been sheltering him from behind, he would’ve died long ago. He’s just a despicable villain living off a woman.

If we still don’t strike back after being humiliated by him like this, I’d rather die!

The pride of our Eight Immortals Mountain cannot be tarnished!

The dignity of us Martial Artists cannot be trampled on by him!"

Originally, Jian Tianchen hadn’t wanted to deal with Ling Xiao outside, because he feared Ling Yan, and even more so that woman behind Ling Xiao.

But seeing Ling Xiao’s smug, arrogant face, he truly couldn’t bear it anymore.

He truly was someone who knew how to stir up the atmosphere. Those words he roared out made the others feel a surge of hot blood boiling inside them.

As for what consequences this battle might bring, they no longer cared.

Right now, they only wanted to kill Ling Xiao!

They had eleven people; the lowest Cultivation Level among them was also at the First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Layer of Hell, Intermediate Stage.

And the strongest had reached the Fifth Layer Pinnacle.

With these eleven people together, could they really not kill a piece of trash who only had the Cultivation Level of the First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell, Early Stage?

"What Brother Tianchen said is correct.

Think about how that piece of trash Ling Xiao has humiliated our Eight Immortals Mountain!

He had his woman kill the Sword Clan’s elder right in front of you, kill your relatives!

If we don’t even dare to lay a hand on him, how can we face our dead kin?

How can we face the Martial Arts we’ve cultivated all our lives?

This dog that once went around wagging his tail and begging for everything now wants to ride on our heads—if you can endure that, I sure as hell can’t!"

An Ming completely exploded as well. The fury pent up in her heart finally erupted in full, and her long black hair actually stood straight up.

"Anyone can shout slogans. I’m just waiting for you to make a move!"

Ling Xiao stood there like a final-boss villain, coldly beckoning at the eleven hot‑blooded youths, his face full of contempt.

"Damn, what’s going on? Aren’t those the eleven top geniuses of Eight Immortals Mountain?

An Ming!

Jian Tianchen!

Damn, even Kong Yue’s there!

Who are they joining forces against?"

Although there weren’t many people here, there would still occasionally be herb gatherers or Martial Artists passing by.

By coincidence, a Martial Artist squad that had just finished a mission in the mountains and was returning to Eight Immortals County City happened to pass through.

Seeing this shocking scene, they couldn’t help but cry out.

"I don’t recognize that kid. Is he some big Demon Head from somewhere?"

Ling Xiao’s reputation was mostly big only within Eight Immortals Mountain; inside, almost everyone knew of him, but outside, basically very few had heard his name.

Even the live broadcast back when Ling Xiao dispelled the great catastrophe of Eight Immortals County City had been deliberately erased by people with ulterior motives.

People’s memories weren’t that great to begin with.

From a hero, Ling Xiao had gradually become a nobody.

Perhaps the ones who truly remembered him were instead those children who hadn’t seen much of the world.

Ling Xiao looked coldly at Jian Tianchen and the others.

Seeing these people full of righteous indignation and boiling blood, he really felt he ought to turn into a basin of cold water and drench them awake.

"Since you’re not making a move, I’ll go first!"

Ling Xiao let out a cold laugh, his figure turning into a wolf shadow as he tore through the air.

Wolf Travel Thousand Miles—Wolf Pack Attack! Lightning Wolf!

Wolf Pack Attack was the Third Form, Lightning Wolf was the Fifth Form!

When Ling Xiao fought at the bottom of Mo Hai, he had honed Wolf Travel Thousand Miles countless times.

After all, Monster Beasts were everywhere there. If he didn’t want to get hurt, this Body Movement Technique was extremely important.

Now, he had already cultivated Wolf Travel Thousand Miles to the Seventh Form.

And all seven forms had been cultivated to the Transcendental Realm.

All of this was thanks to the benefits of nonstop battles.
