I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

Hu Ba was both shocked and furious, his face filled with resentment.

"Stop with the useless stuff."

After kicking Hu Ba, Lin Xiao said, "Since you've lost, we need to settle our old scores."

"Old grievances?"

Hu Ba looked puzzled.

Lin Xiao said with a half-smile, "What's wrong? Your Great Sword Alliance has caused me trouble time and time again. You don't think you can just let this go like this, do you?"

"..."

Hu Ba's lips twitched.

He wanted to say that the Great Sword Alliance hadn't gained any advantage even once!

However, now that he was upside down and Lin Xiao was standing, Hu Ba still didn't dare to say those words after recognizing reality.

"Then... what do you want?" Hu Ba asked.

"Alliance Leader Hu, isn't that a bit unfair? You're the ones who provoked me. Now it's not about what I want to do, it's about you..."

"I should think about how to soothe my wounded little heart."

As Lin Xiao spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the Black Gold Sword.

At first, Hu Ba didn't pay much attention, but soon he realized Lin Xiao's intentions.

It wasn't that he was particularly clever, but rather that Lin Xiao's hints were far too obvious.

It's obvious they've got their eye on his black gold sword.

"no!"

"The Black Gold Sword is a fourth-grade spiritual weapon. I risked my life to get my hands on it."

Hu Ba hurriedly covered the black gold sword, which he had obtained in a dangerous place.

He paid a heavy price for it, and almost lost his life there.

This was his most precious possession, and he couldn't bear to give it to Lin Xiao.

"Sigh! It seems I'll have to live in the Great Sword Alliance from now on. My wounded little heart needs some comfort!"

Lin Xiao clutched his chest, looking distressed.

Hu Ba's expression changed.

Given Lin Xiao's personality, if he were to live in the Great Sword Alliance, the Great Sword Alliance would probably never have peace again.

Hu Ba gritted his teeth, his face contorted with pain, and said, "I'll give you the Black Gold Sword, you... you should leave now!"

"Alliance Leader Hu, you're too kind."

"How could I possibly accept that?"

Lin Xiao spoke politely, but instantly grabbed the black gold sword.

"..."

The surrounding crowd fell silent.

We've all seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless.

They were clearly taking advantage of the situation, but they acted completely innocent.

What about a wounded little heart?

vomit!

Are you really not afraid of disgusting people to death?

Lin Xiao didn't care about anything else, admiring the black gold sword with a look of great affection.

This is a fourth-grade spiritual weapon!

There are ten grades of magical artifacts and elixirs.

These correspond to the ten major cultivation realms.

Fourth-grade spiritual artifacts are extremely precious, enough to cause fierce competition among Yuanhai Realm warriors. Under normal circumstances, only Mountain Moving Realm warriors are qualified to use them.

[You have severely angered Hu Ba; your reward is a "back down" card.]

[Admit Your Mistake Card: As long as the host admits their mistake, they can gain people's forgiveness.]

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback.

What kind of reward is this?

Is this system malfunctioning?

Would I, a dignified seven-foot man, need this damn "admit defeat" card?

Lin Xiao looked displeased.

"found it."

"Lin Xiao is indeed here."

"Seventh Brother, we absolutely cannot let Lin Xiao leave unscathed today."

At that moment, a cold shout rang out.

The crowd parted to make way, and a group of figures rushed into the courtyard.

"Yo!"

"They're all old acquaintances!"

Lin Xiao took a closer look and immediately smiled.

He recognized many of the people in this group, such as Zhou Mingrui, whom he had previously taught a lesson.

Lin Xiao also knew the Seventh Brother that Zhou Mingrui mentioned.

The other party was Xiao Qilang, whom he had caught in the act in the grove.

It was mainly the name that left a deep impression on him.

"It's you again, you brat!"

Xiao Qilang's face darkened as soon as he saw Lin Xiao.

[You have angered Xiao Qilang; you are hereby rewarded with a martial vein!]

Good guy!

Is the hatred really that great?

They gave out a gift right off the bat?

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Chapter 26 The Surprise Arrives

"Lin Xiao, let's see where you can run today!"

Zhou Mingrui gave a cold laugh.

He also lived in this area. Upon hearing that Lin Xiao was coming, he disregarded his injuries and immediately found Xiao Qilang and the others, rushing to the Great Sword Alliance.

"What's wrong? Your injuries haven't even healed yet, and you've already forgotten the pain?" Lin Xiao sneered.

This Zhou Mingrui, he gives me the feeling of being an unkillable cockroach.

Was I too gentle last time?

Ok!

My damned tenderness.

"Hmph! Lin Xiao, do you think I'll still fight you?"

Zhou Mingrui sneered, "Seventh Brother's cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm. Looking at the entire outer sect, he is enough to rank among the top ten thousand."

The number of outer disciples reached as many as one million.

Ranked within the top 10,000, that is indeed a very high ranking.

No wonder Xiao Qilang was able to take his junior sister into the woods. Although she wasn't very good-looking, at least she was a human being.

The world of spiritual practice is actually quite realistic.

If you don't have any real talent, pretty girls won't bother with you.

Unless someone like Lin Xiao possesses unparalleled good looks, that would be a different story.

Lin Xiao showed no sign of nervousness, beckoning to Xiao Qilang with his finger and saying nonchalantly, "Seventh time, Kotaro, let's go!"

After his cultivation level increased significantly, he wanted to test his strength.

Hu Ba is too weak.

That battle just now wasn't exciting at all.

"Seventh Brother, you must avenge our Great Sword Alliance! The Great Sword Alliance has done a lot for you!"

Hu Ba said with a heavy heart and tears in his eyes.

A grown man almost cried his eyes out.

"understood!"

Xiao Qilang's face twitched.

However, he didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he looked at the crowd around him and said, "It seems like everyone here dislikes Lin Xiao quite a bit?"

"If I weren't outmatched, I would have given that kid a good whack."

"I just can't stand Lin Xiao's handsome face. Damn it, all the pretty junior sisters and senior sisters are obsessed with him."

"Lin Xiao called us trash, he's too arrogant."

"I have never seen such a shameless person. We can't let him continue to act so arrogantly."
