Chapter 2471: Chapter 2474: Winning the Battle, Yet No Reward?

"Such a pity, now it’s even less likely for me to take him as my foster son."

Heiye Wuguang sighed helplessly.

He knew that the more outstanding Ling Xiao’s performance was, the less likely he could take him as a foster son.

But Heiye Wuxing didn’t think much about it. Seeing his disciple, whom he protected wholeheartedly, performing so well, his face was filled with smiles.

The eighty-one wolf shadows not only easily dodged those forty-eight sword qi.

Even more terrifying, the remaining thirty-three wolf shadows directly lunged at the Shadow Demons Hunter.

The Shadow Demons Hunter was like a punching bag, continuously battered.

He kept retreating, unable even to defend, let alone counterattack.

"It’s time to end this!"

Ling Xiao raised the longsword in his hand, coldly pointing at the Shadow Demons Hunter.

Purple Qi Eastward Sword—One Sword Returns to the West!

The terrifying purple qi surged like a purple demon charging toward the Shadow Demons Hunter.

At this moment, the Shadow Demons Hunter, battered by those thirty-three wolf shadows, was capable of nothing.

How could he possibly withstand Ling Xiao’s attack?

"Give me some face, don’t kill him!"

The Dark Clan Elder suddenly shouted.

"Fine, I’ll respect the elder’s request!"

Ling Xiao originally wanted to finish off An Feitian swiftly.

But since the elder pleaded, he’d grant this favor.

After all, having the Dark Clan Elder owe him a favor would make things smoother in the Dark Clan later.

As for An Feitian, just a waste, once defeated by him, would never be able to overcome him again.

If this kid didn’t know better, the consequence would be like Sha Hai, losing his life in the Underworld.

The terrifying sword intent engulfed, sword qi blasted onto the Shadow Demons Hunter.

The layer of pitch-black shell covering An Feitian shattered like glass, falling piece by piece.

Reveal the panic-stricken figure of An Feitian.

Ling Xiao stomped on An Feitian, placing the sword horizontally against his neck, coldly saying, "If not for the elder’s plea, I really wanted to kill you!

Now, surrender!"

Since it’s a duel and he doesn’t want to kill the opponent, the opponent has to surrender; otherwise, the battle can’t end.

"No, kill me instead, I won’t surrender."

An Feitian shouted loudly.

He believed Ling Xiao wouldn’t dare to kill him.

That’s why he was uncooperative.

"Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?"

Ling Xiao sneered, said nothing, and directly struck An Feitian with his palm.

The terrifying sword qi penetrated into An Feitian’s body through the palm wind.

Started frantically destroying An Feitian’s internal organs, body tissues.

An Feitian immediately bled from his seven orifices.

No, to be precise, blood flowed constantly from his entire body, permeating through capillaries.

The terrible shrieks akin to slaughtering a pig echoed ceaselessly in the silent corridor.

Many people hearing this frowned deeply.

"I surrender! I surrender, stop torturing me!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

An Feitian got scared.

He was truly terrified by Ling Xiao.

The guy in front was simply a demon, a terrifying demon.

This was not a human at all!

He truly believed if he did not surrender, the consequence would be dreadful.

"Knowing today’s consequence, why did you act rashly before? If you surrendered earlier, you wouldn’t suffer this torment, pathetic!"

Ling Xiao looked at the overly frightened and disoriented An Feitian, sneered, and stood up.

Then glanced at the Dark Clan Elder.

"Rest assured Elder, I didn’t kill him, just gave this kid some deserved suffering."

He stood there, looking nearly spotless, as if he had never fought.

While behind him, An Feitian continued to twitch.

Seeing this horrifying scene.

Everyone had no reaction.

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t have predicted such a situation.

Ling Xiao’s arrogance and contempt, although extremely irritating to them.

But this young man truly had the right to be arrogant and contemptuous.

"I’ll kill you!"

An Yexing suddenly roared furiously, his figure flashed, lunging at Ling Xiao.

His son was beaten to such a state, his heart was filled with intense anger.

Who cares about rules, he wanted to quickly kill Ling Xiao.

But he had barely taken two steps when Heiye Wuxing kicked him flying.

"A clan leader, what are you trying to do? An Feitian was ruthless, intending to kill Ling Xiao swiftly, Ling Xiao spared him, already an act of ultimate benevolence, you are truly ungrateful!"

Heiye Wuxing would never let anyone harm Ling Xiao.

"Damn it!"

An Yexing roared at the sky angrily, but was helpless.

The elder sighed and walked to An Feitian’s side, beginning to heal An Feitian.

"Young one, your actions were a bit too harsh."

Touching An Feitian’s body, the elder realized how severe An Feitian’s injuries were.

Perhaps his martial arts journey couldn’t continue.

Even if he survives, he would merely be ordinary.

"Elder, words are too serious, he wanted to kill me, I didn’t kill him, that’s already merciful, unless Elder expects me to act like a sage as well?"

Ling Xiao looked at the elder, spoke calmly.

He had given this old man face, hoped the old man wouldn’t demand too much.

"Forget it."

The Dark Clan Elder sighed.

He naturally understood that Ling Xiao had a point.

But no matter how reasonable, not everyone will be reasonable.

At this moment, An Ming, Dark Gold, even Heiye Wuzun looked at Ling Xiao with unfriendly eyes.

An Hua and An Yexing, needless to say.

But Heiye Wuxing and Heiye Wuguang were utterly satisfied with what Ling Xiao achieved today.

"Elder, shouldn’t this Shadow Black Gourd be temporarily given to me to comprehend?"

Ling Xiao wasn’t concerned about An Feitian’s life or what others thought of him.

What he wanted now was the Shadow Black Gourd.

Although uncertain what he could comprehend from the Shadow Black Gourd, he believed it would significantly enhance his journey on the Xuanwu Continent.

"Shut up! You’re just a Branch Family Member, what qualifications do you have to comprehend Dark Shadow Martial Arts!

You’re entirely unworthy!

Moreover, you have no sentiment for Dark Clan, once you learn Dark Shadow Martial Arts and then defect, our Dark Clan would suffer a tremendous loss!

Elder, you must think it over."

An Yexing knew with Heiye Wuxing around, he couldn’t kill Ling Xiao, but he absolutely couldn’t let Ling Xiao obtain Dark Shadow Martial Arts.

"Elder, I think so too!"

An Hua chimed in opportunistically.

"Elder reconsider! Ling Xiao, this person, isn’t aligned with our Dark Clan, otherwise why wouldn’t he want to recognize Wuguang as his foster father!"

An Yexing seized Ling Xiao’s hold again, continuing his persuasion.

And numerous experts among the Dark Clan echoed An Yexing and An Hua’s standpoint.

In the Dark Clan, nearly half of the elders and grand elders weren’t willing to let Ling Xiao obtain Dark Shadow Martial Arts.

Ling Xiao looked coldly at this scene, sneering sarcastically.

No matter what, he was determined to acquire the Shadow Black Gourd; if these old fogeys didn’t give it to him, he’d seize it!
