Chapter 61: You only know you must die

"You..."

Seeing Li Yilan completely ignore him and coldly come to kill him, Xiao Potian still wanted to struggle.

But he had just begun to struggle.

The Greenwood Sect Master pressed down with a big hand, sealing Xiao Potian's vital pulse, leaving him unable to move.

Now he was like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

"I... I was wrong, isn't that enough?"

Xiao Potian's eyes were red, his whole body trembling.

At this moment, he truly felt fear.

If he didn't yield, he would really be killed by Li Yilan; he didn't want to die, he was still young, he still wanted to live a few more hundred years.

Li Yilan heard this and directly ignored him.

Only before death did he know to repent; what was he doing before?

Moreover, what use is repentance for this matter?

"You killed my parents, and you think saying 'I was wrong' settles it?"

Originally Li Yilan planned to kill Xiao Potian with a single sword thrust.

But when the opponent was at death's door, he could still lightly say, "I was wrong, isn't that enough?"

Of course not.

I killed your parents and said I was wrong—does that work for you?

Immediately, she had originally just been thrusting an ordinary sword at Xiao Potian, but after hearing his words, she instantly changed her move, directly using the One Sword Slay Immortals.

Such a pig-dog, he shall be destroyed.

"I demand your life!"

Li Yilan's eyes blood-red, she thrust a heaven-shaking sword.

The powerful sword aura actually directly pierced through the Greenwood Sect Master's binding on Xiao Potian.

And Xiao Potian, under this sword, could not muster a shred of fighting spirit.

"Huo'er, save me, quickly let Yao Lao save me, Father doesn't want to die."

Xiao Huo beside him was stunned.

"Father?"

"Whose father are you? From now on, between us, bridges are bridges, roads are roads; the blood ties have been severed in resentment and disappointment, you and I shall be strangers in each other's lives; familial affection ends here."

Immediately.

Xiao Huo did not look at Xiao Potian, but turned to Li Yilan: "Kill him, please do as you wish."

"But I say this beforehand: if you kill him, you cannot kill me."

As soon as her words fell, Xiao Potian's body was submerged in the fierce sword aura; before death, his gaze was dull.

Originally the Xiao family was loving and harmonious; now facing great calamity, first his father abandoned him and fled, now his son also says such words.

Karma, truly karma.

However, these regrets, together with Xiao Potian's body, vanished from this world.

This sword killed Xiao Potian to ashes and smoke.

———————

Meanwhile, after seeing Xiao Potian killed, Xiao Huo had not a trace of resentment, as if he had just killed a pig-dog.

"Flee!"

Medicine Elder immediately gave Xiao Potian an instruction; afterwards, part of his power merged into Xiao Huo.

In their panic, the two turned into a stream of light and shot up into the sky.

If they do not flee now, the next target Lin Yang will deal with is them.

And seeing this scene.

The Elder Bei Jian beside them was about to burst with joy; earlier he had planned to strike out and wipe out Xiao Potian to curry favor with Lin Yang, but the Greenwood Sect Master stole the spotlight.

And now that Xiao Huo wants to flee, isn't this the perfect time for him to show his abilities and put in effort?

"You little bastard, I see where you're fleeing to."

Immediately.

Elder Bei Jian gave chase.

Li Yilan beside also glanced at Lin Yang.

"Master, disciple begs you to act and stop them; absolutely cannot let them escape."

"As for Xiao Huo, I will definitely kill him."

She hates Xiao Potian, but in her heart she hates Xiao Huo even more.

This person initially used the pretense of collaborating with her to lure her and her parents to the Xiao family, imprisoned them, then fabricated that her parents had killed Xiao family members, and thus wiped out her clan.

As for this person, if he is not killed, she cannot sleep at night.

Upon hearing these words.

Lin Yang merely smiled faintly; killing the two would grant him one's soul power and reward the other with the netherworld; he naturally would not let them go.

He slowly said: "Rest assured, he cannot escape my palm."

In this operation against the Xiao family, what he valued most was Xiao Huo and the Medicine Elder behind him; naturally he first laid out the Azure Cloud Bell against them.

And for them to think of escaping is pure fantasy.

Then.

Lin Yang slightly narrowed his eyes, activated the incantation to move the Azure Cloud Bell.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Wave after wave of the great bell's deep tolls rang out.

In the sky, a huge bell like an ancient bronze artifact appeared, emitting a verdigris glow, sealing off the road within a ten-li radius of the Xiao family.

Strings of code-like inscriptions swirled around the bell, exuding overwhelming menace.

"Suppress them!"

Lin Yang roared angrily, and an imperial might rippled down from the bell.

Bang!

In the clouds, Xiao Huo and Yao Lao were harshly slapped back by a strike of the Azure Cloud Bell.

"Wow!"

Xiao Potian, having flown back, rolled on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Yao Lao, why is this like this? Why the hell can't I escape?"

Xiao Huo, in fear, also felt a hint of dissatisfaction toward Yao Lao.

"They're coming for me; from the start they've set up outside a treasure that specializes in attacking souls."

"Upon seeing the Azure Cloud Bell in the sky, Yao Lao also instantly understood: actually, from the beginning Lin Yang had been heading straight for him."

Lin Yang didn't care at all about Xiao Potian, Xiao ShanHai, and the others.

It's all because his soul was severely injured; otherwise, this little treasure and a person like Lin Yang, he wouldn't even glance at them—at his peak, a single slap could kill tens of thousands.

Now it's truly a tiger fallen to flat ground, bullied by dogs.

Xiao Huo complained: "Yao Lao, you're not from some other world outside this one, are you? Why can't you even escape a mere soul artifact? Is that all you've got? Quickly think of a way—I don't want to die."

"Shut your stinking mouth." Yao Lao said angrily: "That's an imperial artifact; with my current ability, I can't possibly break it."

"Besides, stop fucking talking to me like that."

Upon hearing that the opponent was using an imperial artifact, Xiao Huo was also stunned.

The next second.

The Back-Sword Elder and the Green Wood Sect Master then seized Xiao Huo from left and right.

"Don't, don't kill me—I was wrong, isn't that enough?"

Xiao Huo trembled violently, his gallbladder about to burst from fear.

When he heard that even Yao Lao couldn't deal with them, Xiao Huo dared not resist any further.

He's still young, he still has hope, the road ahead is still long, he doesn't want to die now.

He hysterically shouted toward Li Yilan: "Isn't that all you want—me kneeling to apologize? I'm willing to kneel and apologize now, isn't that enough?"

At this moment, Xiao Huo no longer had his former arrogant demeanor; his pleading look was like that of a drowned dog.

The Back-Sword Elder said coldly: "Had we known earlier, why bother in the first place?"

"Li Yatou, I'll guard the Dao for you; go ahead and kill, if he dares to resist I'll strike first."

Immediately, the Back-Sword Elder glanced at the Green Wood Sect Master, smiling inwardly: "Now you won't have a chance to steal my lines, right?"

But the Green Wood Sect Master wondered, "How is he stealing my lines?"

However, he still looked at Li Yilan and said: "Yilan, kill him, and your parents' vengeance will be avenged."

"No, don't! I really know I was wrong, and I'm willing to kneel—please don't kill me." Xiao Huo pleaded.

Li Yilan paid no heed, slowly raising the sword in her hand and said:

"You don't know you're wrong; you just know you're going to die."
