Ling Xiao's voice was like a clap of thunder, and everyone in the ruined city could hear it clearly.
Gu Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes looked at the tall and slender figure, and her heart inexplicably trembled a few times. She thought to herself, "He doesn't look strong, but his combat strength is amazing. How charming!"
The high-level Earthly Sovereign who caught Jiao Xin brought him back to Wan Yanshu's side.
At this moment, Jiao Xin's face had been beaten into a pig's head, and his facial features were completely distorted.
Seeing this scene, their faces turned ashen.
Then, the high-level Earthly Sovereign put his finger into Jiao Xin's nostrils, and his expression changed as he said, "Grandmaster Wan Yanshu, Jiao Xin … he's dead?"
"What?" Not only Wan Yanshu, but the other two Earthly Sovereigns beside him also cried out in alarm.
Jiao Xin was a peak Earthly Sovereign, and among all the Earthly Sovereigns, his strength was at least in the top 500. How could he be beaten so badly by Ling Xiao, and even directly die?
The surrounding Earthly Sovereigns looked at Ling Xiao in a different light.
Wan Yanshu frowned and sighed softly. Looking at Ling Xiao in the sky, he said indifferently, "I hate it when people shit on my head. Meng Li, Meng Feng, kill him for me. Avenge Jiao Xin!"
The other two peak Earthly Sovereigns beside Wan Yanshu simultaneously pounced at Ling Xiao.
One of them had the fire attribute, and the other had the wind attribute. They emitted a strong aura that was not inferior to Jiao Xin's. In fact, it was even stronger.
"Boy, die! Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you killed Jiao Xin!" Meng Li shouted with a ferocious look on his face. The two wheels in his hands emitted bursts of powerful fiery light, and the fiery light formed fiery rings that wrapped around Ling Xiao.
Meng Feng took the opportunity to use his [Wind Wielder]. A strong gust of wind blew around him, and the scorching rings of fire flew towards Ling Xiao with great speed.
The terrifying ring of fire was like a comet, so fast that it was difficult to dodge.
Meng Li and Meng Feng were brothers, and both of them practiced the Combined Attack Technique. This attack was a combination of wind and fire, and even an opponent of the same level would have a hard time dodging it.
Peng!
Dozens of powerful rings of fire turned into a sea of fire, burning Ling Xiao within. The powerful flames seemed to form a world of fire.
Meng Li was still adding Fire Spiritual Qi, and Meng Feng was cooperating with him to turn the momentum of the fire into a prairie fire.
A large sea of fire formed in mid-air, as if it was burning the clouds and steaming the sky.
"Even a Celestial Master would be at a disadvantage if he were to take this move, let alone an Earthly Sovereign like you!" Meng Li murmured confidently.
Gu Jiaojiao's expression became incomparably worried.
From Ling Xiao's battle, she knew that Ling Xiao cultivated the metal element, and the fire element just happened to restrain the metal element. She was really afraid that Ling Xiao would commit suicide this time.
However, the next moment, a strange scene appeared!
Ling Xiao opened his mouth and shouted, "Absorb!"
Whoosh!
The powerful flames actually drilled into Ling Xiao's mouth at an extremely fast speed.
"What, how is this possible?"
"He … he actually swallowed the flames?"
"This can't be an illusion, right?
How could he absorb the flames? "
"This middle-stage Earthly Sovereign is not simple!"
…
The surrounding Earthly Sovereigns all revealed expressions of even more horror than before.
How could they believe that someone could swallow the flames? Only those almighty beings with the fire element would have such an ability.
Moreover, Ling Xiao was only a middle-stage Earthly Sovereign, and he cultivated the metal element. Everyone understood the principle that fire could restrain metal, but the scene in front of them made them unable to understand.
The Half-step Sovereigns not far away revealed expressions of shock.
Meng Li and Meng Feng's expressions were incomparably shocked, and they secretly cursed, "What a freak!"
When the last wisp of flames entered Ling Xiao's mouth, he lightly smacked his lips and said, "The taste is really bad!"
The surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air. Obviously, they were all shocked by this scene.
Ling Xiao's gaze fell on Meng Li and Meng Feng, and he said disdainfully, "If you have any other strong moves, just use them. Otherwise, you won't have a chance."
Meng Li and Meng Feng looked at each other and were about to make another move, but Wanyan Shu's voice stopped them.
"Meng Li, Meng Feng, come back!" Wanyan Shu shouted.
Meng Li and Meng Feng glared at Ling Xiao unwillingly, and then descended at the same time.
Ling Xiao looked at Wanyan Shu with some astonishment, "Do I have to make a move myself?"
After Meng Li and Meng Feng descended, Wanyan Shu flew up like a swallow, and he only stopped when he reached the same height as Ling Xiao.
"How should I address you, brother? I am Wanyan Shu." Unexpectedly, Wanyan Shu's attitude changed, and he revealed a warm smile as he spoke to Ling Xiao.
Those who didn't know better would think that Wanyan Shu was an amiable person.
The surrounding people couldn't help but sigh at how fast Wanyan Shu's attitude changed.
Ling Xiao couldn't quite get used to it, and he replied, "Ling Xiao of the Northwest!"
"So it's Brother Ling. It's an honor to meet you." Wanyan Shu politely cupped his hands towards Ling Xiao.
Gu Jiaojiao, who was below, made a vomiting gesture and muttered, "What a disgusting person!"
The reason why she hated Wanyan Shu was because she felt that he was too fake, and his character was too despicable.
Ling Xiao didn't know what Wanyan Shu was playing at, and he bluntly replied, "Although I, Ling Xiao, have some fame, it's not at the level where you've been looking at me for a long time."
Wanyan Shu didn't get angry, and he maintained a faint smile as he said, "Brother Ling, you must be joking. With your current strength, I'm afraid that you'll be one of the top hundred Battle-Emperors. Jiaojiao has indeed chosen an excellent ally." He paused for a moment, and then continued, "Brother Ling, it can be said that we didn't get to know each other through discord. Here are a few pills to make up for my mistakes."
As he spoke, a bottle flew out of Wanyan Shu's hand.
Ling Xiao grabbed the bottle in his hand and opened the cap. A burst of strong pill fragrance instantly filled the air.
Ling Xiao glanced at the medicinal pill that was flowing with sparkling and translucent spiritual energy and said, "Fifth-stage Living Pill!"
"Haha, you're quite knowledgeable. This is a Living Technique Pill that I personally refined. I'm sure it will help your little brother recover faster," Wanyan Shu proudly said.
"You refined it yourself?
Are you a fifth-tier alchemist? "Ling Xiao asked in surprise.
Wanyan Shu smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, Meng Li loudly said, "Grandmaster Wanyan is a genius alchemist from the Wanyan family in the Eastern Flame region. He successfully became a fifth-tier alchemist not long ago."
Wanyan Shu lightly scolded Meng Li, "Meng Li, don't be so arrogant. I was just lucky!"
When he said this, his face was full of arrogance and complacency.
For someone his age to become a fifth-tier alchemist, he was already a rare existence in the Central Region. The people around him had followed him precisely because of his status.
When the surrounding people learned of Wanyan Shu's identity, they were slightly moved.
"So he's from the Wanyan family. How can he be so arrogant?"
"I don't think he's more than fifty years old, but he's already at the fifth-tier. I'm afraid that only those alchemist families can compare to him."
"He's trying to curry favor with Ling Xiao. Could it be that he wants to recruit Ling Xiao?"
"I don't think so. He might just be interested in Ling Xiao's strength and wants to form an alliance with him!"
… …
"So you're a fifth-tier alchemist. I've been disrespectful," Ling Xiao said with a strange smile.
Wanyan Shu waved his hand and said, "It's just a fifth-tier alchemist. It's not worth mentioning. On the other hand, Brother Ling's strength is amazing and I admire it. I wonder if Brother Ling is interested in following me into the Abyss of War?"
"Follow you?" Ling Xiao asked in surprise.
Wanyan Shu replied, "That's right. As long as you follow me, I can immediately raise you to the high-level Earth Emperor Realm."
After he said that, a golden pill appeared in his hand, and a strong medicinal effect instantly spread out. This medicinal effect was clearly several times stronger than the medicinal effect of the Living Technique Pill just now. Even people nearby could clearly smell it.
"This is a metal-attribute Emperor Ascension Pill. As long as you're willing to follow me, this pill is yours. Once I become a sixth-tier alchemist, it'll be easy for you to become a Heavenly Sovereign. What do you think, Brother Ling?" Wanyan Shu asked with a tempting expression.
He felt that Ling Xiao wouldn't be able to resist this temptation. Had an Earth Emperor from the northwest ever seen such a high-grade pill?
Even if he had, he might not be able to obtain it!
Moreover, with his status as an alchemist, Tenbin, he believed that any knowledgeable person would choose to follow him. Even Ling Xiao was no exception.
"Haha …" Suddenly, a maniacal laughter rang out, and Ye Yunfeng's figure shot up into the sky. "You're actually tempting my boss with such a trashy pill? I really don't know if you're retarded or crazy."
Who was Ling Xiao?
He was a sixth-tier alchemist. If he wanted to become a high-level Earth Emperor or a Heavenly Sovereign, it wouldn't be difficult for him.
However, Ling Xiao didn't want to rely on pills to advance. He wanted to rely on his own strength to advance. That way, he would be able to build a solid foundation.
Ye Yunfeng knew Ling Xiao's background, so he couldn't help but laugh.
In his eyes, how could Wanyan Shu compare to Ling Xiao?
Wanyan Shu glanced at Ye Yunfeng, who had recovered, and ignored him. Instead, he continued to speak to Ling Xiao, "Brother Ling, do you think the same as your little brother?
This is the Emperor Ascension Pill, and it's not easy to buy it even with Xuan Crystals. Moreover, my Wanyan Family is a well-known family in the Central Region. It's not a disgrace for you to follow me. You'd better think carefully. "
It had to be said that Wanyan Shu had the ability to win people's hearts. His words were quite enticing.
Ling Xiao chuckled and gently squeezed his hand.
Bang!
The Living Technique Pill that Wanyan Shu had just given him turned into a pile of powder in his hand.
"This kind of pill is indeed … too trashy. How dare you call it a fifth-tier pill? You're a disgrace to a fifth-tier alchemist. Even if you want to be my follower, you're not qualified," Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Wanyan Shu's face instantly darkened, and he said gloomily, "Ling Xiao, you really don't know what's good for you?"
"Cut the crap. All of you can come at me together. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance," Ling Xiao said indifferently with a wave of his hand.
