Chapter 99 Ch 99: Unexpected Death
Ye Xiao did not know how long he had been cultivating inside the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, but he knew that it is definitely not a short period of time.
But again, even if he spent a month inside, it will only be ten days outside. Because of this, he was not too worried. He also thought that maybe that ambusher must have already gone.
"Woosh!!"
Ye Xiao again returned to the place where he had been previously.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that something was not right.
"Swish!!"
He saw a light flashing some distance away from him and something flew toward him with extremely high speed, aiming at his heart.
There was no time for Ye Xiao to dodge so he immediately took out the Spirit Sword and placed it in front of his heart.
"Clang!"
With a 'clang' sound, something collided with his sword. His sword was released from his hand.
"Burp!"
He vomited out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. After landing on the ground, he crawled for one breath and finally stood up. He saw that
he still had a lingering fear in his heart. If he had not placed the sword in front of his heart, his heart would have been pierced by that 'flying' thing.
Ye Xiao walked in front of his sword, bent a little and grabbed it. At this time he also saw a small sharp dagger some distance away.
"ke ke ke!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard the sound of someone's creepy laugher. Ye Xiao raised his head and saw that around 15 meters away from him, there was a short and skinny man who was also looking back him with a smile that was not a smile.
"Little brat, you finally showed yourself. Haha, looks like you can not hold on any longer and ran out of your spirit energy." That short and skinny man laughed and said in a hoarse voice.
Ye Xiao was surprised to see him. From what this short and skinny man said, Ye Xiao managed to figure out that this was the person who ambushed him some days ago and he was still waiting for him here.
"You wasted a lot of my time here. Umm!, yes, you made me wait for you for entire four days. I will definitely make you feel what living in hell looked like." The short and skinny man again said in his hoarse voice. He continue to say, "now, give me that whatever secret technique or treasure you have that made you turn invisible for whole four days. If you give me that thing willingly then I can think of letting you live. If not, I will cut you into thousand pieces and feed you to the magical beasts."
Ye Xiao was of course again surprised. From what this short and skinny man told him, Ye Xiao found out that this shorty in front of him thought that Ye Xiao was invisible and it was because of some sort of treasure or a secret technique. This short and skinny man wanted to take the treasure or secret technique that can make one invisible for himself. That's why he did not went anywhere and waited here for Ye Xiao's spirit energy to ran out so that he can catch Ye Xiao when Ye Xiao will show up.
"I don't have any secret technique or treasure." Ye Xiao replied the short and skinny man.
Ye Xiao was ready to fight with this ambusher and thought that if he can not win against this short and skinny man, he will immediately enter the Heavenly Pearl again. He also wanted to check out his new ability, The Dragon's Claw. He wanted to see how he would fare against this short and skinny man if he attacked him with his Dragon's Claw.
"Don't talk rubbish with me. If you don't have the treasure or a secret technique then how did you become invisible. It would be good for you to give me that treasure or secret technique otherwise I will chop off your four limbs then I will cripple you and make you beg me to kill you." That short and skinny man shouted in anger. He felt annoyed as Ye Xiao did not admit that he had a treasure or a secret technique for becoming invisible.
"I really don't have anything like that. If you don't believe me then it has nothing to do with me. I am going now." Ye Xiao snorted and started to walk in a certain direction, intending to leave this place.
"You want to slip away. Do you really think that it is possible for you to go away just like that. Believe it or not, I can kill a little Peak Qi Condensation Realm martial artist like you with just my finger." That short and skinny man coldly said.
Hearing this, Ye Xiao stopped in his track, turned back, looked at the short and skinny man and said, "Is that so! I would love to exchange pointers with you."
"Brat, are you challenging me? Let me tell you, you are testing my patience. If you don't give me that thing which can make one invisible now, I will definitely kill you right away." That short and skinny man said in loud and hoarse voice.
Ye Xiao laughed loudly and said, "I will not give you anything. What can you do?"
"Little brat!"
That short and skinny man shouted in anger and suddenly a terrifying aura started to spread out.
"A Martial King Realm expert."
Ye Xiao frowned his brows. He was panicking in his heart but on the surface, he was still maintaining his calm.
"I will kill you and then I will take that treasure or secret technique myself from your dead body." The short and skinny man shouted loudly and then he threw his palm toward Ye Xiao's chest.
The short and skinny man still a few meter away from Ye Xiao. When he attacked Ye Xiao with his palm, he was still standing on his spot but from his palm, a bigger image of palm flew out and collided with Ye Xiao's chest with an extreme speed.
"Burp!"
Ye Xiao was again sent flying and he once again vomited a mouthful of blood. He felt that his internal organs were about to come out from his mouth.
"So this is the strength of a Martial King Realm martial artist." Ye Xiao stood up while trembling and said, "You should be at the First Stage of the Martial King Realm, right? From the looks of your strength which has still not stabilized, you should have just broken through to the Martial King Realm."
"So what? Even if it is true, I am still hundred times stronger than you. I can kill you with a flick of my finger." The short and skinny man laughed and arrogantly replied.
"What a joke. You said that you can kill me with a flick of your finger but I did not die even after you attacked me with that palm of yours." Ye Xiao mocked him.
"Bastard!" The short and skinny man cursed at him with anger and he again pounced at him. This time he was holding a dagger in his hand, intending to directly pierce the dagger in Ye Xiao's heart so that he can show Ye Xiao what is the result of making him angry.
"Dragon's Claw"
When he was about two meters away from Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao suddenly transformed both of his hands into the dragon's claws, ready to attack the short and skinny man with his strongest attack.
"Sacred Finger Art."
When the short and skinny man saw Ye Xiao's hand turning into some sort terrifying beast's claw, he became curious what Ye Xiao planning to do. He did not believe that the attack of a Peak Qi Condensation Realm can hurt him, a Martial King Realm expert. There was just too much of gap between two of them.
But when Ye Xiao executed the Sacred Finger Art, he felt threatened. He felt that a very dangerous aura coming at him. He wanted to stop and dodge to side but it was already too late for him to dodge.
"Ding!"
"Putong!"
The short and skinny man's dagger was just about to pierce into Ye Xiao's heart but at this time Ye Xiao blocked the dagger of the short and skinny man with one of his dragon's claw and his other hand's finger which was also already transformed into dragon's claw and was now a dragon's finger, directly pierced into the heart of the short and skinny man.
"This... is impossible."
After saying this sentence, the short and skinny man fell down on the ground, taking his last breath.
The short and skinny man died a death that he himself believe impossible. Even in his last moment of death, he still could not understand, how can a little Qi Condensation Realm martial artist killed him.
