81: Bai Xiaoxiao died!

“Night Shadow, please...please spare me...”

As this plea for mercy rang out, it was as if a magical switch had been flipped.

“Thump! Thump!”

A series of kneeling sounds followed one after another.

Just a moment ago, the group of proud talents had been full of confidence and high spirits.

Now, they were utterly terrified.

To survive, each of them cast aside their dignity, kneeling and begging for mercy.

“Night Shadow, if you spare me, after we leave this place, my Li family is willing to offer 1 million eternal coins as compensation.”

“My Lin family is willing to offer 5 million.”

“My Chen family, 10 million...”

Among them, Wang Cheng, who was Bai Xiaoxiao’s initial teammate,

had lost his previous arrogance, directly throwing down the greatsword in his hand and shouting loudly.

“Night Shadow, if you spare me, I am willing to sign a creation contract with you and become your subordinate!”

Seeing this, Lin Yong hurriedly said:

“I am a Shadow Assassin, most skilled at sneak attacks and assassinations. If you let me go, my life is yours. I will kill whoever you tell me to kill.”

As if to prove his worth,

Lin Yong suddenly erupted, instantly rushing towards Wang Cheng.

Before the latter could react, he wielded a sharp dagger in his hand with a fierce look in his eyes, frantically stabbing him several times in the back.

At this time, Wang Cheng’s level was only 3.

His health points were pitifully low.

Suddenly encountering such a storm-like assassination, he couldn't even put up a fight before turning into a white light.

“Lin Yong! You’re courting death!”

After resurrecting, Wang Cheng was greatly alarmed. After a furious roar, he charged towards Lin Yong.

The two quickly began to wrestle.

Zhao Peng, his face ashen, watched the two, his emotions constantly shifting.

Then, he looked at Ye Xiao again, speaking in an almost hoarse voice:

“Ye Xiao! Are you really going to burn all bridges?!”

Ye Xiao found it quite amusing.

The fish would die, but the net? They couldn't touch it even slightly.

The next moment, Zhao Peng, along with Wang Cheng and Lin Yong, who were still wrestling, dropped another level.

At the same time, five or six new scorched corpses appeared at the resurrection point.

After resurrecting, Zhao Peng looked at his level.

His pupils contracted violently.

He had 2 more chances before he would truly die.

It must be said that those nurtured by the Zhao family were somewhat stronger-willed than others.

As more and more people died, Zhao Peng knew that Night Shadow would definitely not stop.

However, at the brink of life and death,

Zhao Peng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his gaze involuntarily swept to both sides.

Before Ye Xiao could launch his next attack, he quickly shouted:

“Everyone listen, come over and protect me immediately! As long as you gather together, Night Shadow will never dare to kill everyone. If he does, he will have no place in the entire Alliance. If I can successfully leave here alive, my Zhao family will heavily reward you afterwards!!”

Zhao Peng's words instantly reminded the others, who had been scared witless by Ye Xiao.

Even Wang Cheng and Lin Yong no longer cared about their animosity.

They shouted one after another: “That’s right, as long as I don't die, my Wang family will open all the secret realms under our jurisdiction to you all.”

“My Lin family will do the same, and no matter if it's a First or Second Advancement Quest, if you can't complete it, my Lin family is willing to provide manpower to help you complete it.”

“And my Chen family...”

“My Li family too...”

A chorus of voices rose and fell.

Instantly reaching the ears of the newcomers on both sides.

It must be said that the promises from these proud talents held an incredibly huge temptation for the bystanders who severely lacked resources.

Furthermore, what Zhao Peng said seemed to make some sense.

If they all went out, no matter how strong Night Shadow was, he probably wouldn't dare to incur public wrath.

Just as Zhao Peng said, Night Shadow would then have no place in the Alliance.

Thinking of this, many people were clearly tempted.

However, before they could act,

Ye Xiao’s Fireball once again killed Zhao Peng and the others.

This time, he didn't even deliberately control the range of the Fireball.

Some Professionals who were already close were also affected again, disappearing along with Zhao Peng and the others.

At the same time, Ye Xiao's calm voice rang out.

“Whoever wants to help them, I will also kill him back to Level 0, and then send him to accompany Zhao Peng!”

As his words fell, they instantly suppressed the stirring thoughts of the passersby on both sides.

Many newcomers who had just barely avoided being hit by the Fireball were now filled with lingering fear.

Their hearts were even more terrified.

Night Shadow, he really dared to kill!!

And Zhao Peng saw the reactions of the passersby on both sides.

He was so angry that he almost spat blood.

“A bunch of trash, you don't even dare to take the wealth that's handed to you, what good are you?”

Unfortunately, no matter how Zhao Peng cursed, after witnessing Ye Xiao's inhumane methods, the people on both sides no longer had any thoughts.

Killed once more.

The original team of fifty or sixty people now had only about 10 people standing.

But these people had also been killed back to Level 0.

Each of them was on the verge of collapse.

Zhao Peng, unable to bear the pressure of death, was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he began to cry and beg for mercy.

At this moment, he was no longer the high and mighty Zhao family member.

But a pitiful worm wanting to live ignobly.

In the scene, only Bai Xiaoxiao, who had previously withstood Ye Xiao's attack, was still at Level 1.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Xiao with an unpredictable gaze.

“Why, why!! I was clearly your best choice, why didn't you choose me?!!!”

“Ye Xiao! You were always like this before, no matter how hard I tried, you never even looked at me properly!!”

“Why in the world!!!”

Perhaps nearing death, Bai Xiaoxiao could no longer bear it, and she shrieked hysterically.

At this time, she no longer had her usual calm and composed demeanor; her originally beautiful face was now incredibly distorted.

However, Bai Xiaoxiao’s questioning ultimately received no answer.

As the Fireball struck again.

The team led by Zhao Peng all turned into charred corpses.

Except for Bai Xiaoxiao.

During her last resurrection, Bai Xiaoxiao was like a madwoman.

“Brother Ye Xiao, please, please spare Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao is willing to serve you her whole life, to be your most obedient dog.”

As she spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao slumped to the ground, using an almost pleading tone.

“For the sake of our three years of affection, please let me go.”

Then, Bai Xiaoxiao truly acted as she said, like a female dog wagging her tail and begging for mercy, trying her best to crawl towards Ye Xiao.

She seemed to want to express her loyalty this way.

One step, two steps... With each crawl, a glimmer of light would appear in Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes.

However, when she once again used all her strength to crawl forward one more step,

her figure was once again engulfed by flames.

The scorching aura enveloped her, instantly bringing her back to her senses.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But her rapidly fading life left her without a trace of strength.

Finally, only those captivating eyes were filled with hatred, and a hint of regret.

Perhaps, at the very end of her life,

Bai Xiaoxiao finally had the thought of regretting her past actions.

If, after her awakening, she hadn't despised Ye Xiao, and hadn't humiliated him to his face,

perhaps today's outcome would have been different.

However, it was already too late for everything.

When the flames dissipated,

Bai Xiaoxiao’s snow-white figure turned black.

And her outstretched hand ultimately did not fall to the ground.

Thus, the eradication mission initiated by the Zhao family, in collaboration with the disciples of various major forces in Yun Province against Night Shadow,

concluded with the complete death of Bai Xiaoxiao and the others.

At this very moment, within the vast resurrection point,

it was so quiet that one could hear a silver needle drop.
