95: unite against external forces
Poker Eight also understood from the conversation that the newcomers weren't Ling Xian's helpers, but his enemies.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Poker Eight, being the strongest and calmest among them, asked: "Friend, are you also here to seek revenge on Ling Xian?"
Poker Eight smiled, his eyes showing goodwill, "If possible, we can cooperate."
But just as he finished speaking...
A black long spear unleashed a world-shaking flourish, thrusting straight at Poker Eight's chest.
*Squelch!*
A bloody gash appeared on Poker Eight's chest as he retreated several meters, his gaze gradually becoming fearful and solemn, "Crazy woman!"
"Your enemy is Ling Xian; we should cooperate."
Poker Eight's ability was related to physical enhancement; in terms of defense alone, he could reach SS-level, which was the Grandmaster level.
Yet even so, Third Senior Sister had wounded his chest with a single spear thrust.
One could imagine how large the psychological shadow on Poker Eight was at this moment.
He now understood why there were so many lunatics among the Dragon Country people overseas; it was all the result of a shared lineage.
"Heh, an overseas organization? Since when do you get to meddle in the internal affairs of my Dragon Country?" As a citizen of the Dragon Country, Third Senior Sister naturally knew the difference between internal and external matters.
In her eyes, when facing these external enemies, some private matters could be temporarily set aside.
After speaking, Third Senior Sister shook her spear, and the spear condensed from powerful True Qi gleamed with a cold light, pointing directly at the members of the Poker Organization.
At this moment, whether it was Ling Xian, the members of the Poker Organization, or Su Ran who was present, everyone was stunned.
"Senior Sister? Ling Xian is right here," Su Ran reminded her, but received no response.
He turned to look at Ling Xian, "Ling Xian, just wait. My Senior Sister will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces."
Having said that, Su Ran rushed toward the Poker Organization to help his Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, in battle.
"Holy crap! Stealing my kills?" Ling Xian was speechless. This was his source of villain points. This Child of Destiny and daughter of destiny were mentally ill; he hadn't even made a move against them, yet they wanted to steal his kills.
Dragon Capturing Hand, First Form!
Ling Xian pulled in a Poker Five, preparing to kill one first.
Poker Five felt the suction and reacted quickly, taking off his gloves and spitting out a web that entangled Ling Xian.
"Spider-Man?" Ling Xian was a bit surprised, but quickly realized, "No, it's somewhat similar, but it can only be considered a weakened version."
Poker Five snorted coldly, flicked his hands, and threw out another web to entangle Third Senior Sister, then bound Ling Xian and Third Senior Sister together. He controlled them tightly with both hands to prevent them from breaking free.
"You guys deal with that kid with A-rank combat power first; I'll hold these two down," Poker Five shouted.
The others nodded and rushed toward Su Ran.
"You're looking down on me too much." Su Ran sneered, fuming with rage.
For a moment, he was locked in combat with several people.
"Stop trying to break free; the more you struggle, the tighter it gets," Ling Xian reminded her as he felt Third Senior Sister's body constantly twisting. "Also, you have a nice figure."
"Pervert! Just wait until I break free!" Third Senior Sister detested evil. Hearing Ling Xian's flirtatious words, she had already categorized him as a lecherous demon.
Ling Xian didn't respond but looked down at Poker Five and smiled, "You've already injected several vials of Serum. If I'm not mistaken, the side effects aren't small..."
"I'm afraid your whole body is already withered, supported entirely by your life force. Otherwise, you wouldn't be covered up so tightly."
As he finished speaking, Poker Five was already bleeding from his five orifices, looking exactly like a dead man.
"How is this possible? Fall back first!" Poker Eight was shocked. He hadn't expected that even with Poker Five using all his strength, he couldn't even trap the two for a single minute.
Undead Divine Fire flared up, turning into a fire snake that followed the entangled threads.
In an instant, the threads snapped. Poker Five fell to the ground and was swallowed by the fire snake, his screams echoing incessantly.
Feeling his soul being scorched, after the initial terror, Poker Five didn't scream for mercy. Instead, he accepted death gladly, closing his eyes to wait for the end, his lips parted as if faintly saying 'thank you'.
Perhaps he had long since found life worse than death, and death was actually a relief for him.
Poker Five was dead. Poker Eight didn't choose to fight on but turned to flee.
"Want to run? In your dreams!" Ling Xian didn't want to watch his villain points slip away. He directly used the Dragon Capturing Hand, Third Form: Severing the Dragon Vein!
This form could rapidly intercept the flow of Qi and blood, cutting off the momentum of power, striking first by reacting later.
One move rendered Poker Eight unable to move, and he subsequently died from exploding blood.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Poker Eight. You have gained 20,000 villain points!]
At the same time, Ling Xian performed Whale Swallows the World!
Ninety-nine bone needles plus nine rain listening needles, a total of 108 needles, turned into a giant whale torrent that rushed into the bodies of the other Poker members.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Poker Four and Poker Five. You have gained 40,000 villain points!]
Ling Xian frowned slightly, "That's not right. Where is Poker Six?"
Just as he was wondering, a flash of spear light streaked past!
"Are you done yet?" Ling Xian snorted coldly, closing in on Third Senior Sister. The two were pressed face-to-face, their faces only a finger's width apart, their noses almost touching.
At this moment, Third Senior Sister's heart raced, and she retreated several steps.
"You bullied the disciples of my Qingxin Sect. I, Third Senior Sister, will definitely have my revenge!" Third Senior Sister gritted her teeth and cursed.
"Heh, what a 'definitely have my revenge'!" Ling Xian sneered and clapped his hands. "Come, tell me, wasn't it your Qingxin Sect that started the trouble first?"
Third Senior Sister was startled and looked back at Su Ran. Su Ran's eyes darted away, not daring to look at her. At the same time, he was even more afraid that Ling Xian would kill him to vent his anger.
He now truly felt that his brain had malfunctioned, thinking that he could get revenge once his Third Senior Sister arrived.
Good grief, was that the strength of a Master just now?
Su Ran kept backing away, thinking about escaping.
Ling Xian continued, "Su Ran didn't treat Old Man Xia properly, thinking about making the man's daughter repay him.
I saved the person; was I wrong?
He turned around and ambushed me; was I wrong to act in self-defense?
That junior sister of yours isn't any good either. Did you know that Wei Zhiruo scattered aphrodisiacs on me?
What's wrong with me teaching her a lesson?
Then there's your junior sister Lan Dieyin; she held a concert and attacked me with sound waves. It's not too much for me to ask her for some mental distress compensation, right?"
Faced with Ling Xian's series of accusations, Third Senior Sister was speechless. She opened her mouth but found that her side indeed seemed to be in the wrong.
"Is it true?" she questioned Su Ran.
"I don't know." Su Ran lowered his head and remained silent.
Third Senior Sister sighed, roughly guessing that it was mostly true.
"Ling Xian, this matter is my fault for not investigating beforehand." Third Senior Sister was backing down. She also knew that she couldn't defeat those methods Ling Xian used just now, so she could only take her junior brother and escape.
"Seeing as you were willing to unite against the outsiders..." Ling Xian nodded in agreement, "You may leave."
Third Senior Sister was stunned. She had already prepared for a fight to the death to help her junior brother escape, but she didn't expect the other party to let her leave so easily.
"Thank you for your mercy, Young Master Ling. Yueyao is deeply grateful!" Third Senior Sister cupped her fists in thanks.
"It seems that earlier he was simply praising my figure; Young Master Ling is not that kind of person," Third Senior Sister thought to herself.
She developed a great deal of goodwill toward Ling Xian's attitude of uniting against outsiders just now, which resonated deeply with her principles.
"Let's go. Come back with me and call your two senior sisters," Third Senior Sister said seriously.
Su Ran knew he was going to be punished.
Within the sect, the three senior sisters disciplined them on behalf of their Master.
Before leaving, Su Ran looked at Ling Xian with a resentful gaze, as if saying 'just you wait'.
