Chapter 47: Want to Kill Me? You Die First (Part 1)

The wind rustled, and in a moment, Xiao Bei, dressed in a black robe with a handsome face, appeared above Xiao Bing's body.

"Huh?"

Xiao Bei let out a light exclamation, seeing Xiao Bing's unconscious state. He shook his head and muttered to himself, "It would have been better not to run at all and just stay there. Suffering for nothing."

With a movement of his palm, Xiao Bei struck Xiao Bing with a powerful blow.

This blow was enough to render the already unconscious Xiao Bing even more unconscious, ensuring he wouldn't wake up for a while.

"Stay unconscious for now. Your death is just a matter of time."

Lifting his head, Xiao Bei didn't stop. His body moved through the air again, heading straight for Xiao Lie, who was within his sensing range.

He could feel that Xiao Lie, who had already used the "Blood Sacrifice Technique" once, had not yet recovered. This time, it seemed he used it again, making his aura feel even more fragile.

However, in exchange, his speed had increased.

As he moved, Xiao Bei shook his head... Even a technique as powerful as the "Blood Sacrifice Technique," or even the "Expansion Technique" that he had deduced and improved to perfection, he believed, could not help Xiao Lie much. After all, Xiao Bei was an Imperial-level martial artist, while Xiao Lie was just a Holy-level martial artist in the先天 realm. The gap was too large, and the speed disadvantage was naturally incomparable. No matter how he used the technique, what could it do?

"When a person faces death, they panic. But that's normal. If I faced death, I might do the same, fleeing... The will to win must be there, but knowing you can't win and still rushing forward is not wise... My strength must be improved, and the bottleneck must be broken. Otherwise, encountering a strong opponent will result in the same situation. The ultimate path of martial arts..."

Xiao Bei's expression tightened, and his speed increased even more...

"Xiao Lie, there's no need to run anymore. Where can you run to? Come back with me, and I'll give you a quick death."

Xiao Lie was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and desperately leaping into the air. Just as he was about to leap again, Xiao Bei's voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Turning around, Xiao Lie saw Xiao Bei floating in the air.

The young man's eyes were fixed on him, making Xiao Lie feel as if he had aged several decades in an instant. "Pfft!" A mouthful of blood that had been suppressed in his throat could no longer be held back and spurted out.

Seeing the blood splatter on the ground, Xiao Lie knew that his life would definitely end tonight.

Before Xiao Bei appeared as an Imperial-level martial artist, he and Xiao Bing were still arrogantly thinking about how to deal with and kill the young man in front of them, imagining his death. But now, the roles had reversed. The young man in front of them had become the hunter, and they, the prey. How they would be dealt with and how they would die was entirely up to him.

Xiao Lie's body swayed, and like Xiao Bing, he fainted.

Xiao Bei watched as Xiao Lie fell to the ground, frowned, and with a movement of his palm, lifted Xiao Lie's body. After confirming that Xiao Lie was truly unconscious, Xiao Bei carried him with one hand and rushed to where Xiao Bing was. Then, at high speed, he controlled the two unconscious men, Xiao Lie and Xiao Bing, and brought them to where Xiao Sa and the others were.

Before leaving, Xiao Bei had already verified that Xiao Sa and the others, due to the shock waves from his earlier martial arts enlightenment, had suffered additional injuries and would not wake up for a while. That's why he brought Xiao Lie and Xiao Bing back.

Throwing Xiao Lie and Xiao Bing carelessly to the ground, Xiao Bei's martial energy surged out, like a large hand, sweeping over them.

In an instant, the two men woke up.

After a few groans, the two men, upon confirming they were still alive, felt a mix of relief and despair.

Both of them clearly knew that Xiao Bei would not let them go! Just as they would not have let Xiao Bei go before they knew he was an Imperial-level martial artist!

Looking at the young man, the two men's bodies involuntarily moved closer.

"Speak. Tell me everything you know about the Xiao family and the Zhou family. I'll give you a quick death, or else..." Xiao Bei waved his hand, "Don't force me."

"Xiao Bei, please let me go. I'll tell you everything I know. Please, let me go... What I did before was not human, it was beastly. Please let me go... Sob, after all, I am your half-brother. Please let me go..."

Xiao Bing crawled towards Xiao Bei, sobbing and crying, his face full of sorrow, trying to beg for Xiao Bei's forgiveness.

However, before Xiao Bing could crawl within five meters of Xiao Bei, he was forced back by the martial energy emanating from Xiao Bei. "Speak, or die a worse death."

"Xiao Bei, you..." Seeing that his plea for mercy was ineffective, Xiao Bing opened his mouth, ready to vent his anger.

"Slap!"

A loud sound, a fierce slap!

Xiao Bei used his martial energy to strike Xiao Bing, then reached out and slashed, severing Xiao Bing's arm!

Blood spurted out, and in an instant, it was a gory scene.

Xiao Bing's lips turned purple, and he opened his mouth, no longer daring to speak. The intense pain made him stammer, "Speak, I'll speak... Xiao Bei, I'll speak."

His head nodded continuously, and Xiao Bing's face was filled with horror, "Actually, we are now in league with the Zhou family of the Imperial Dynasty. The Zhou family fears that our Xiao family is growing too powerful and that the entire military power of the Heavenly Dragon Army is in our hands. In this situation, the Zhou family is worried about losing control of the Wu Kingdom, so they want to strip our Xiao family of power. However, they cannot use force, so they approached us through infiltration. They promised that if we could act from within, we would gain more power after the change in leadership of the Xiao family. They also promised us enough..."

"I'm not interested in their promises. Tell me the names."

Xiao Bei's voice rang out, his eyes fixed on Xiao Bing.

"Xiao Bei, don't kill me. Join us. Listen to the promises the Zhou family has made. After you hear them, I believe you will choose to join us, Xiao Bei... Ah..."

Xiao Bei's martial energy formed a hand and approached Xiao Bing again, scaring him into silence.

"Xiao Bing, shut up. We're going to die anyway, so let's fight him!" Xiao Lie, who was not far from Xiao Bing, upon hearing that Xiao Bei had no intention of joining their side, immediately charged at Xiao Bei. Since they were going to die anyway, Xiao Lie wanted to fight.

And the way to fight was to self-destruct!

A self-destruction of a Holy-level martial artist in the先天 realm!

He was convinced that this would injure the Imperial-level martial artist, Xiao Bei!
