As he spoke, the Black Tiger General's aura rose again. His entire body exuded a terrifying killing intent.
Even Yang Jian and Juling Shen's expressions turned solemn.
Although they did not know the reason why the Black Tiger General had been holding back, they were certain that the Black Tiger General was now more terrifying than before!
Even if the two of them joined forces, they would not be able to stop him!
"Roar!"
The Black Tiger General let out a roar. His feet stomped on the ground forcefully. His entire body was as fast as lightning as he pounced on Yang Jian and Juling Shen.
This time, the Black Tiger General was determined to kill and attacked without holding back.
The aura comparable to the Mahayana Realm raged and swept out, causing Yang Jian and Juling Shen to retreat. Both of them suffered different degrees of injuries.
"Bang!"
Juling Shen's huge body was once again knocked to the ground by the Black Tiger General. He tried several times but was unable to stand up again.
Yang Jian used his three-pointed, double-edged sword to support his body. He stood in front of Lin Xiao and revealed an expression that was unafraid of death. "My Lord, you go first!"
"Go?
No one is going to leave today! "
When the Black Tiger General heard Yang Jian's words, he launched another attack. His sharp claws tore at Yang Jian's flesh. It was extremely ferocious.
…
At the same time, in a pavilion not far away, the Third Marquis was sitting on a soft couch. He was watching the battle while drinking tea in satisfaction.
"Marquis, Eunuch Cao is here."
At this moment, a servant walked in to report. After the Third Marquis nodded, a eunuch with a face full of smiles walked in.
This eunuch was none other than the Emperor's most trusted eunuch, Cao Gao.
Cao Gao glanced at the Third Marquis and reported in a sharp voice, "Third Marquis, this servant has already inquired.
His Majesty has already issued a decree for the Black Tiger General to cripple Lin Xiao in this competition! "
"Oh?"
The Third Marquis raised his eyebrows. He looked at the battle below and said with a smile, "I thought that it would take some effort to kill Lin Xiao. I didn't expect that Royal Brother would also want to deal with him.
This Marquis is a little curious. In the beginning, who said that this kid was Royal Brother's man? "
"Please forgive me, Third Prince!"
Hearing the Third Wangye's words, Cao Gao was so scared that he knelt down and explained: "His Majesty wholeheartedly protects this brat. This servant was also confused by his appearance and thought that this brat was His Majesty's man. But now it seems that this brat is not His Majesty's man. For Wangye, this is also a good thing, isn't it?"
"Of course!"
The Third Prince shot a glance at Cao Gao and said with a smile, "Eunuch, there's no need to panic. This Prince was just a little puzzled. This Prince has no intention of blaming you.
Now, all we need to do is watch the show from here! "
As he spoke, the Third Marquis turned his gaze to the battle outside.
Under the all-out attack of the Black Tiger General, Yang Jian was gradually unable to hold on. The hand holding the three pointed, double-edged sword was also constantly trembling.
However, he still stood in front of Lin Xiao without flinching.
Looking at the tall figure in front of him, Lin Xiao was moved. He took a deep breath and was ready to use Designated Summon.
He knew that once he used Designated Summon, Yang Jian's strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. It would not be difficult for him to surpass the Mahayana Realm!
At that time, no one in the entire Beiwu Nation would be a match for him.
However, the danger that came with it would be even more dangerous. The large factions outside of Beiwu Nation would very likely target him because of this.
Originally, Lin Xiao did not intend to use Designated Summon so early in his situation where he was not strong enough. However, he still lacked 1,000 energy points to reach the next summon. Moreover, he did not have the opportunity to obtain energy points.
Under such circumstances, he had no other choice!
Just as Lin Xiao was about to use Designated Summon, two old men suddenly appeared in front of him. They joined forces to block the Black Tiger General's attack.
"People from the Nine Points Hall?"
The Black Tiger General's expression changed when he saw the two old men. He frowned and reprimanded them. "Is the Nine Points Hall crazy?
How dare you interfere in the imperial court's affairs! "
"We naturally would not interfere in other matters. However, the Nine Points Hall wants to protect this kid. Even the imperial court cannot kill him!"
When the two old men heard the Black Tiger General's words, they spoke righteously.
Nine Points Hall?
The Nine Points Hall again!
When he was in Jiangchu County, it was the Nine Points Hall's branch elders who had saved his life from Ge Qianqiu of Taiwu Mountain. Now, in the imperial city, the Nine Points Hall's main hall had once again saved him. What exactly did the Nine Points Hall want from him?
Lin Xiao was very confused.
However, he understood that now was not the time to think about this.
The Black Tiger General was clearly afraid of these two elders from the Nine Points Hall. He had to seize this opportunity to seek protection from the Nine Points Hall.
When he thought of this, Lin Xiao said, "Elders, this tiger keeps saying that he wants to kill me. You can't let him go!"
"You!"
The Black Tiger General did not expect Lin Xiao to be so shameless. Flames of anger shot out from his eyes.
Although he, who had transformed into a black tiger, had the strength of a Mahayana Realm cultivator, he could not maintain this form for too long. The battle with Juling Shen and Yang Jian had already consumed a lot of his Spirit Qi. Moreover, these two elders from the Nine Points Hall were both at the peak of the Tribulation Stage. If he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage.
However, this was His Majesty's order. Even if he died, he could not disobey it.
Thinking of this, the Black Tiger General let out a roar and shouted, "So what if he's from the Nine Points Hall? Today, I will definitely kill Lin Xiao!"
As he spoke, the Black Tiger General and the two elders from the Nine Points Hall began to fight again.
Yang Jian and Juling Shen retreated to the side and took the Earth Level Rejuvenation Pill that Lin Xiao had given them to heal their injuries.
When he saw the unforeseen event below, the Third Marquis frowned. His body emitted a terrifying and oppressive aura, causing Cao Gao to not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Damn it!"
The Third Marquis slammed his palm heavily on the coffee table, causing it to shatter into pieces. Cao Gao was so frightened that he sat on the ground.
Seeing that Cao Gao's lips had turned purple from fear, the Third Marquis restrained his aura and ordered his subordinates, "Immediately go and investigate the relationship between Lin Xiao and the Nine Points Hall!"
"Yes!"
The subordinates hidden in the dark immediately accepted the order and left.
Only then did Cao Gao crawl up shakily, revealing a smile that could not be any uglier. He said, "I don't know about the relationship between the Ninefold Hall and Lin Xiao, but just this morning, there was a change in the prodigy ranking."
"Oh?"
The Third Marquis glanced at Cao Gao and asked, "What happened to the Prodigy Roll?
Don't tell me it's related to Lin Xiao! "
As the Third Marquis of Beiwu Country, he naturally would not pay attention to a small Prodigy Roll. After all, no matter how talented one was, the people on the Prodigy Roll were only weaklings at the Spirit Severing Stage.
However, for Cao Gao to mention it at this time, there must be something unusual.
