Chapter 2521 - 2524: Without Warning, a Fight Breaks Out
"Who among you three wants to retrieve the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow?"
Dawn Wind Sun asked coldly, looking at the three.
"I do."
Ling Xiao replied.
"Alright, then you come with me. The other two wait outside."
Dawn Wind Sun looked at the three arrogantly, with an air of commanding authority.
After all, with their great strength and being on their own turf, it was normal for them to act this way.
"That’s not acceptable, what if your Yue State Palace intends harm on me?"
Ling Xiao shook his head.
"Hmph, you must be Ling Xiao. From the moment you entered Heavenly Thunder Town, we already knew.
We’ve heard you’re the type to hide behind women to flaunt borrowed power; seems the rumors are true."
Dawn Wind Sun snorted coldly: "Here, I’m the one who calls the shots. Either leave or go in alone. No more nonsense."
"Are you really the one in charge?"
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly: "If the Thirteenth Prince or Duke Yates finds out you let the only Martial Artist who can retrieve the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow leave, what will they do?"
"You really overestimate yourself. Many have failed to retrieve the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow; what makes you think you can?"
Dawn Wind Sun sneered.
"With this!"
Ling Xiao suddenly tossed an Array Refining Stone, trapping Dawn Wind Sun and nearby guards in a swarm of Fire Snakes.
The Fire Snakes flickered with flames, vividly powerful.
"What do you intend to do?"
Dawn Wind Sun was startled.
"Relax, I just want to show you I’m a master of Array Formation. The reason that Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow hasn’t been retrieved is simply because you’re afraid of confronting the lightning at the core.
But I can use Array Formation to divert it."
Ling Xiao collected the Array Refining Stone and continued calmly: "So, will Duke Yates come personally, or will you let us in?"
"Hmph, letting you in doesn’t matter, you three can’t cause much trouble."
Dawn Wind Sun knew well the Thirteenth Prince’s temperament and his eagerness for the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow.
If he really let Ling Xiao leave and then report to the Thirteenth Prince, he’d be in trouble later.
Anyway, the defense was tight, these three couldn’t try any tricks.
There were ten Pinnacle Martial Artists of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Layer of Hell guarding Heavenly Thunder Pit.
If necessary, they could call Dawn Wind Moon who was cultivating in the pit for help.
With just these three? Trying to escape?
Thus, Ling Xiao, Lin Ruoxian, and Yue Shang followed Dawn Wind Sun towards the Heavenly Thunder Pit.
On the way, Ling Xiao used Soul Transmission to arrange the next plan.
"Sister Ruo Xian, Yue Shang, wait outside the pit. Once I retrieve the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, we’ll fight our way out together.
If Dawn Wind Moon appears, you two first help stall the ten people, I have my ways to trap that woman.
Can you do it?"
"No problem!"
Both Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang answered.
The supposed ten Pinnacle Martial Artists of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell are actually weaker compared to Dawn Wind Sun.
The other ten were clearly boosted by external forces, with cultivation shaky and estimated combat power barely reaching Late Stage.
With Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang’s skills, plus their Magical Treasures, stalling them was easily achievable.
"Good, let’s proceed as planned."
As the plan wasn’t complex, executing it was simple, without needing detailed discussion.
"See there, that’s the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow. Follow this path, don’t wander off and disrupt my sister’s cultivation; she has a bad temper and might kill you.
Consider yourself warned."
Dawn Wind Sun pointed a clear path.
The path lacks lightning attacks at least four or fifty meters near the core.
Thus, Ling Xiao walked with ease.
Dawn Wind Sun followed closely, seemingly cautious of Ling Xiao.
Outside, Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang were already surrounded by ten Martial Artists from Yue State Palace.
Not to attack, but stunned by their beauty.
"If I guessed right, you must be Lin Ruoxian from She Clan of Eight Immortals Mountain and Yue Shang from Yue Clan?"
Actually, he hadn’t guessed; someone had reported it.
"Indeed."
Lin Ruoxian answered calmly.
"I wonder which side you think will win in the Bull God Labyrinth battle?"
These old foxes shamelessly made small talk.
"Naturally, our Eight Immortals Mountain!"
Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang replied in unison.
"Haha, is it because of Lin Yuetian? Lin Yuetian is strong, but Tianfeng Group’s Chen Beixuan and Yue State Palace’s young lady Dawn Wind Moon won’t lose to Lin Yuetian.
In essence, the contest is between them.
Perhaps you shouldn’t speak so definitively?"
Seeing Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang’s answer, the ten Martial Artists were slightly displeased.
"Don’t forget, ranked fourth on the Genius List is also an Eight Immortals Mountain Martial Artist—Ling Xiao!"
Lin Ruoxian proudly said: "I don’t know about Lin Yuetian, but Ling Xiao will certainly surprise you."
"Hahahaha, the one who just went in is Ling Xiao, right? I bet surviving and coming out would be good enough, let alone winning the Bull God Labyrinth?
Dream on!"
The ten laughed wildly.
Yue Shang wished she could cut their throats.
But Lin Ruoxian stopped her: "Don’t act, Ling Xiao hasn’t succeeded yet."
But while Lin Ruoxian resisted the urge to act, the ten pushed further.
"Hey, since you’re both here, why not have some fun with us?"
One of them jeered.
"Are you not afraid of sparking conflict between Yue State Palace and Eight Immortals Mountain?"
Lin Ruoxian said coldly.
"Hahahaha, if you three die here, we only need to deny it.
Plus, as I understand, Ling Xiao, along with you two, aren’t favored in Eight Immortals Mountain.
Your deaths might even please some."
The man laughed heartily.
"Brothers, it’s boring here, let’s tease these beauties."
With a shout, the ten charged at Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang.
"Courting death!"
Lin Ruoxian revealed a terrifying White Snake Martial Soul, holding an eerie shield.
This was the She Clan’s Magical Treasure—Snake Hair Petrification Shield!
The shield glowed ominously, petrifying the one at the front on the spot.
Yue Shang immediately struck, shattering the statue.
"Did you dare kill a man from Yue State Palace?"
The remaining nine couldn’t believe they’d lost a man before the fight even started.
