35: Eliminate the trouble forever

Chapter 35: Eradicating Future Troubles Permanently

Now, Xiao Lingchen's strength had once again surged.

The Xiao Family had nothing more to help him with.

Therefore, before leaving, the Xiao Family members simply gave them a few words of advice before watching Xiao Lingchen and Ning Huanhuan depart.

At their current pace, it wouldn't take long for Xiao Lingchen and the others to return to the Tai Xuan Sect.

However, there were still two days until the Sect Competition began.

So, Xiao Lingchen was in no hurry.

Before returning to the Sect, he had one more thing to do.

As night fell.

Xiao Lingchen brought Ning Huanhuan to the depths of a remote mountain forest.

Here, there was a massive mountain stronghold built from stacked logs. The stronghold covered an extremely vast area, spanning several mountain peaks.

The heavy wooden gates were inlaid with rusty iron nails, covered in various knife marks and signs of battle!

Inside, bonfires burned, and tens of thousands of mountain bandits sang and danced, their joyous laughter creating a lively scene.

This formed a stark contrast with the weak women tied in the corners, begging and crying.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Black Tiger Gang headquarters!"

The bandits guarding the stronghold entrance spotted Xiao Lingchen and raised their swords, shouting at him.

Xiao Lingchen smiled and said:

"It seems Second Uncle's information was correct."

During the three months he stayed at home, Xiao Lingchen wasn't just focused on cultivation.

He had asked Second Uncle to help him find the location of the Black Tiger Gang headquarters. One reason was to avenge the attack on the Xiao Family three months ago, and the other was to completely eradicate them and eliminate future troubles permanently!

As he spoke, Xiao Lingchen took out his Phoenix Emperor Sword.

In an instant, tens of thousands of murderous auras soared into the sky, enveloping the entire stronghold, which covered tens of thousands of square meters!

The laughter of the Black Tiger Gang members in the stronghold came to an abrupt halt, feeling as if they had instantly fallen from a hot summer into a cold winter.

"Audacious! What do you want to do?!"

The bandits at the stronghold entrance were greatly alarmed and quickly raised their swords to question him.

But in the next second, they were cut down by Xiao Lingchen's single sword strike!

Everything Xiao Lingchen did immediately attracted the attention of the other Black Tiger Gang members in the stronghold.

Instantly, killing intent surged.

"Audacious!"

"Who are you, daring to act so wildly in front of my Black Tiger Gang?!"

"Kill him!!"

In the next moment, tens of thousands of Black Tiger Gang members swarmed forward to attack!

A cold smile played on Xiao Lingchen's lips. He raised his sword and actively charged into the crowd, starting a massacre!

Ning Huanhuan behind him wasn't idle either. There were many innocent people kidnapped by the Black Tiger Gang here.

To avoid accidental injury, she had to rescue those captives as quickly as possible.

And just then.

She suddenly felt several powerful auras.

This caused Ning Huanhuan, who was in the process of rescuing people, to tremble involuntarily.

When she looked back, she saw three experts with strength above the Dao Palace Realm Sixth Level attacking Xiao Lingchen!

"Be careful!"

Ning Huanhuan shouted urgently.

Xiao Lingchen was not afraid in the slightest. He spun a sword flower in his hand and directly slashed towards the three people!

In a flash, six corpses fell from mid-air.

Even in death, the three people's eyes were wide open, unable to rest in peace.

Clearly, they couldn't understand why, despite all having Late Stage Dao Palace Realm strength, the three of them were no match for Xiao Lingchen alone.

Ning Huanhuan's eyes widened even more, filled with disbelief!

Only now did she realize.

In just a few months, Xiao Lingchen had become so strong!

Now, she was probably no longer Xiao Lingchen's opponent!

This made Ning Huanhuan let out a bitter smile:

"How can such a monstrous existence exist in this world? I'm afraid in a little more time, I'll only be able to look up to him."

Soon, Xiao Lingchen, with just one person and one sword, had cut through the entire Black Tiger Gang.

Hundreds of thousands of Black Tiger Gang members lay in pools of blood.

Among them, there were more than ten experts in the Dao Palace Realm alone!

And this entire process took less than fifteen minutes!

The Black Tiger Gang leader, Luo Xiaohu, had gone out to seize treasure with his men today.

While in the middle of a struggle with someone, he suddenly received news that his base had been raided and hurried back.

When he returned to the stronghold, he found that hundreds of thousands of Black Tiger Gang members had all fallen in pools of blood.

Looking at the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Luo Xiaohu was so angry his lungs were about to explode!

"Who!!!!"

"Who on earth!!!"

Just then, a red sword light streaked across the night sky, slashing towards him!

Luo Xiaohu quickly raised his saber to block!

However, even though he was already at the strength of a half-step Breaking Illusion Realm, he was still repelled several hundred meters by this terrifying sword energy!

He raised his head in shock, looking in the direction the sword light had come from.

He saw a young man in red, covered in blood, walking towards him with a sword.

"You are the Black Tiger Gang leader, Luo Xiaohu?"

Luo Xiaohu narrowed his eyes slightly:

"I am Luo Xiaohu."

"And who are you?"

Xiao Lingchen said:

"Xiao Lingchen of the Xiao Family from Qingyun City."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaohu's mind quickly recalled.

In the next moment, his eyes showed shock:

"You're not dead!"

Speaking of which, not much time had passed, so Luo Xiaohu naturally hadn't forgotten.

Several months ago, he learned that his three Black Tiger Gang Protectors in Wind Lament City had been killed by a young man named Xiao Lingchen.

Furious, he sent the three Protectors and hundreds of thousands of gang members to Qingyun City to settle the score with the Xiao Family.

He had thought that both Xiao Lingchen and the Xiao Family were already dead without a burial place.

Who would have thought that today, Xiao Lingchen would appear in his stronghold and kill all hundreds of thousands of his gang members!

At this moment, he finally understood why the men he had sent had been completely silent for over three months.

They were probably already met with misfortune!

Realizing this, Luo Xiaohu glared at Xiao Lingchen with eyes about to burst:

"My men, were they all killed by you?"

Xiao Lingchen pointed his sword at Luo Xiaohu and said:

"Not just them, today, you will also die!"

Luo Xiaohu immediately became enraged and laughed instead:

"Hahahaha!!!"

"Good! Good! Excellent!!!"

"I don't know how long it's been since someone dared to speak to me like that!"

"Xiao Lingchen, today I will let you know the consequences of offending me, Luo Xiaohu. I will make you wish you were dead!!!"

At this moment, Luo Xiaohu's anger completely erupted!

His cultivation, infinitely close to the Breaking Illusion Realm, was unleashed, and he charged towards Xiao Lingchen like a launched cannonball.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Xiao Lingchen.

Tiger claws appeared in his hand, grabbing towards Xiao Lingchen!

"Clang!!!"

This was the first time Xiao Lingchen had formally faced an expert of this strength.

It was also the strongest enemy Xiao Lingchen had encountered so far!

However, although Luo Xiaohu's cultivation was infinitely close to the Breaking Illusion Realm.

He was ultimately still in the Dao Palace Realm.

With Xiao Lingchen's strength, even if a true Breaking Illusion Realm expert arrived, he would have the power to fight, let alone Luo Xiaohu, who was only in the Dao Palace Realm?

His claw was easily blocked by Xiao Lingchen.

With a backhand sword strike, he severed his wrist!

"Ah!!!"

Blood spurted out, and the pain made Luo Xiaohu cry out in agony, retreating repeatedly.

At this moment, Luo Xiaohu realized the seriousness of the situation. This kid in front of him was much stronger than he had imagined.

He intentionally tried to widen the distance between himself and Xiao Lingchen, then look for an opportunity for a fatal blow!

However, Xiao Lingchen didn't give him any chance at all!

As Luo Xiaohu retreated, Xiao Lingchen also chased after him with his sword.

In the next instant, the Phoenix Emperor Sword directly pierced into Luo Xiaohu's chest!
