The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 74

Chapter 74: Eating people?

You XiaoMo immediately thought that the black-clothed person was back , so he quickly ran to hide behind the closest ice sculpture.

Since the ice sculpture was very large, and You XiaoMo was relatively thin, his whole figure was concealed when he hid behind it.

The hurried steps did belong to the one You XiaoMo expected, the returning black-clothed person. It was just that his expression was more nervous now than it was before he left. After rushing in, his face darkened when he didn’t see any sign of You XiaoMo. Now he realized that not tying him up was a miscalculation.

The ice cave was very large , and furthermore , there was this strange atmosphere that cut off practitioners’ perceptive powers. If You XiaoMo really wanted to go into hiding, the man wouldn’t be able to find him easily.

The black-clothed person stamped his foot. What a miscalculation!

Feeling that the wind behind him was getting stronger and stronger, the black-clothed person had no time to run in and look for You XiaoMo. He took out the sword that was always by his side and ran to hide next to the cave opening as the sound of the whistling wind drew near.

When it appeared to reach the cave opening, the black-clothed person cried out loudly and with a swift and violent motion brought down the sword in his hand. The sound of a loud twang was heard. The sword missed its mark, hitting the ice floor. The strange thing was that the ice floor that received that powerful blow actually showed no trace of it. But the black-clothed person had no time to think about these things.

The strange wind entered the ice cave and turned into a person. This person was none other that the one chasing after You XiaoMo’s scent, Ling Xiao.

Hiding behind the ice sculpture, You XiaoMo stealthily popped his head out and saw Ling Xiao appear out of thin air with his own eyes. He was immediately stunned. What was the meaning of this? Wasn’t Ling Xiao a man? How could he appear out of thin air?

As if answering his question, the black-clothed person shouted in a grave voice, “You are not Lin Xiao!”

The tone was one of a hundred percent certainty.

“You say I’m not Lin Xiao. How are you so sure?” There was not the least bit of alarm on Ling Xiao’s face. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the black-clothed person as if they were just chatting about trivial things, and were not hostile adversaries.

The black-clothed person snorted, knowing that he was putting on airs, “No matter how great Lin Xiao is, he is not someone who could understand these underhanded moves. On top of that, these days, all your strange actions do not match up with Lin Xiao. In fact, you’re just not Lin Xiao!”

“Brilliant! A really brilliant explanation!” Ling Xiao clapped his hands in delight. His manner was like the spring breeze in March, so gentle that it almost made people want to drown in it. His slightly open red lips casually tossed out an explosive statement, “Then you, Elder Jiang? In fact, you are also not the real Elder Jiang, right?”

The pupils of the black-clothed person suddenly contracted. Seeing his confident look, it was obvious that just like himself, this person was also certain that the other was a fake. But his identity was very important so before he killed them, he couldn’t admit it. So he said in a cold voice, “Letting me see through you , and now you want to pull me underwater with you? This move of yours is quite impressive , but too bad it is of no use!”

“Haha, as a man that is about to die, is there any need for me to drag him underwater?” Bright laughter overflowed from Ling Xiao’s mouth.

The black-clothed person fiercely widened his eyes, both eyes reflecting flames of bone penetrating hatred, “Who dies is yet to be determined!”

If You XiaoMo were standing in front of him, he would definitely warn Elder Jiang in a gentle whisper not to provoke Ling Xiao at this time. That was because his smile was getting more and more brilliant.

But right then, You XiaoMo was unavailable. Personally witnessing Ling Xiao angering Elder Jiang to the point of death with just a few words, it was obvious that he wouldn’t have any problems dealing with Elder Jiang. He decided to wisely protect himself to avoid being used as a hostage. If that were to happen, he would only be a burden for Ling Xiao.

Elder Jiang was intent on killing off Ling Xiao while desperately wanting to preserve his hidden identity. He launched a series of swift and fierce moves at Ling Xiao.

The attack techniques that Elder Jiang practiced could control the wind. As a mid-level attack technique, he had practiced this set of moves since childhood. After hundreds of years, he could easily manipulate the air and launch a wind-based attack. If one added a sword on top of that, it could change to blades of piercing wind, like knives covering every inch. If they were to cut a vital point in a moment of carelessness, it would cause death.

Elder Jiang was very confident of his own abilities , because he didn’t just practice the wind attack, he still had another killing move. It was just that he wouldn’t use it unless the time was right.

Hiding behind the ice sculpture watching with his heart beating furiousl y, Y ou XiaoMo thought that he was really powerful. But when he just finished gasping in awe, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. When Elder Jiang launched his attack at him, Ling Xiao still didn’t move.

The long sword rang and vibrated as it stabbed towards the unmoving Ling Xiao. Then a shocking scene unfolded. When the long sword and wind blades came within one meter of Ling Xiao, they suddenly froze in mid-air. No matter how Elder Jiang tried to force them in, they didn’t move a single inch.

Ling Xiao smiled as he raised his hand, “Elder Jiang, wind can also be used this way.”

Right after saying this, a fierce strong wind rushed out from Ling Xiao’s palm, flipping Elder Jiang backwards. Immediately, the motionless Ling Xiao suddenly rushed towards the falling Elder Jiang, appearing close to him in an instant. He raised his strong slender leg up high and cut across the air causing an invisible wind to strike Elder Jiang at his vulnerable abdomen. The whole person immediately became like a piece of rag, flying and crashing into the ice sculptures under the wall …

This was a heavy blow, almost making Elder Jiang unable to get back on his feet.

You XiaoMo’s mouth hung wide open, stunned at the sight. This was only a short exchange of blows and Elder Jiang was actually defeated so soundly?

After finishing off Elder Jiang, Ling Xiao suddenly turned towards where You XiaoMo was hiding, calling out, “The show is over. Aren’t you going to come out?”

Li Ning said anything was possible . You XiaoMo did not believe that before but now he did. He silently walked out. Ling Xiao was standing not far away, his lips raised as if smiling while looking at him. You XiaoMo paused before running up to him, “Ling-shixiong, how did you find me?”

Ling Xiao looked at him up and down deep in thought as if looking to see if he was hurt. He then said, “Of course I followed the smell on your body.”

You XiaoMo, ” … ”

Is your real body that of a dog?

“Now, what are we going to do with Elder Jiang?” You XiaoMo looked at the faraway Elder Jiang. The actions before were too violent and the cloth was no longer covering his face. Even though the face was covered in blood, he could still recognize him. It really was Elder Jiang. Thinking back, that time when Elder Jiang was spying on them outside the room, he must have had another motive.

“Knowing my secret, of course it is death.” Ling Xiao said without a care. To him, killing was easier than eating.

” Ah, don’t you want to ask him why he wanted to kill you?” You XiaoMo asked in surprise.

Ling Xiao’s pretty bright eyes suddenly flashed wickedly towards Elder Jiang. He said extremely confidently, “I don’t need him to tell me. I can figure it out myself.”

You XiaoMo was just about to ask when he remembered something. Since he had a complete hold on Lin Xiao’s memory, he must have a way of getting hold of Elder Jiang’s memories. Although he didn’t know how he did it, he couldn’t help think ing that this ability was really too awesome. Why didn’t he have it?!

Just at this moment, Elder Jiang that was lying as if dead on the ground suddenly arched up and roared. Then a frightening transformation unfolded , just like that time in He Ping town when they saw the demon Luo Shan. His outer shell suddenly burst open, lifting his four limbs high, bulging his flesh as the yellow skin gradually turned to the distinctive black of demons. The red blood vessels expanded suddenly under the skin, twitching sharply, making it especially terrifying.

Before the time it took for five breaths, Elder Jiang’s transformation was complete. He was actually just like Luo Shan, a half demon.

The bodies of demons were stronger than those of humans. After transforming, although it wouldn’t eliminate the inner injuries that were incurred earlier, it was much better than before. The scarlet dot s in the middle of the black eyes slowly shifted until they fell on Ling Xiao who was standing a few meters away. A burst of bloodthirsty killing aura filled the air.

In a flash, Elder Jiang’s transformed demon body disappeared from that spot and in the next instant, the demon appeared to the right side of Ling Xiao. A fist three times the size of a human fist shot towards Ling Xiao’s face.

“You’re asking for death.” Ling Xiao snorted coldly. In a flash, he seized his wrist and forcefully twisted it. The bones made a loud cracking sound and the right hand im mediately becam e useless . But the demon seemed impervious, raising up his other hand. Ling Xiao raised his palm towards his head and attacked. Perhaps it was because the strength was too great , but it actually snapped off his head. The terrifying demon head suddenly hung backwards lifelessly.

You XiaoMo, ” … ”

And so , the seemingly super strong demon was crushed by Ling Xiao in just a few moves.

Ling Xiao casually threw down the dead body and was done with Elder Jiang. He turned towards the stunned You XiaoMo and said, “Next, I’m going to suck up his memories. You can choose to close your eyes.”

You XiaoMo swallow nervously, and hesitated before shaking his head. He wanted to know.

Ling Xiao didn’t try to convince him and raised his left palm. A round seal suddenly appeared on his flawless palm before he placed it on Elder Jiang’s forehead. His lips moved as if chanting a spell , then the demon’s body started to shrivel up bit by bit , s lowly getting smaller until the whole body disappeared. Only the black ninja – like clothes remained on the floor.

You XiaoMo turned into stone. Did he eat Elder Jiang?
