The two hadn't expected Long Xiao to use such a desperate move. Long Xiao dared to fight desperately, but Laurence and Michelle did not.
The two quickly retreated, their footwork peculiar, dodging all the broken blades.
Long Xiao looked at Laurence and Michelle and found that not only were their vital energies strange, but their footwork and movement techniques were also very peculiar. This kind of movement technique did not seem suitable for humans to use; they moved more like reptiles.
"Who are you, and why do you look different from humans?" Long Xiao asked curiously.
Laurence and Michelle exchanged a look and did not answer Long Xiao's question. Instead, they charged at Long Xiao again.
This time, they separated, attacking Long Xiao from both sides.
Long Xiao was now attacked from the front and back, and a desperate fight was clearly not an option. He used the 'Chimei Xiaoyao Step' to quickly evade their attacks.
Although Long Xiao's 'Chimei Xiaoyao Step' was only at an elementary level, its speed was extremely fast. If a Heaven Realm expert did not unleash a full-power strike, Long Xiao could evade it.
Seeing that Long Xiao had dodged, Laurence and Michelle looked at each other and began to attack with their strange footwork.
The three figures blurred into three streaks of light, invisible to those with lower cultivation levels.
Long Xiao's speed made all the Heaven Realm experts in the VIP section curious. Such cultivation at this age, unless he possessed an extraordinary set of techniques.
All the Heaven Realm experts thought of the Long family's secret treasury and began to suspect that Long Xiao had accessed it.
"Lu family members, attack and capture Long Xiao."
"Cai family members, attack and capture Long Xiao."
All the Heaven Realm experts shouted loudly and lunged at Long Xiao.
At the same time, a large crowd of onlookers, eager for excitement, drew their weapons and charged at Long Xiao.
Old Dao Xiao sensed that something was amiss and thought that these people must have recognized Long Xiao's special techniques and that he had to make Long Xiao leave quickly.
"Long Xiao, don't fight, go, hurry and leave," Old Dao Xiao shouted loudly.
Xiao Ming and Luan Jiping were stunned when they saw a large number of people attacking Long Xiao, wondering why so many people wanted to kill him.
Meiling, dragging a saber more than a meter long, rushed to Xiao Ming's side and said, "Let's go, if we don't go now, it'll be too late."
"What about Long Xiao?" Luan Jiping asked.
"My master is there. My master is a Heaven Realm expert, so it's no problem for him to get Long Xiao away. If we add ourselves, my master might not be able to handle it," Meiling said.
Upon hearing Meiling's words, Luan Jiping made a decision without hesitation and left the Nangong Manor with Xiao Ming and the others.
Seeing that Luan Jiping had agreed to leave with him, Xiao Ming shouted happily, "Let's go, let's get out of here first."
The members of the Blazing Saber Sect nearby, hearing Xiao Ming's shout, quickly retreated towards Xiao Ming, then surrounded them and charged towards the entrance of the Nangong Manor.
The people who had intercepted them earlier were from various martial arts families. Now, only the descendants of the Nangong family remained, and the pressure on the Blazing Saber Sect members lessened considerably.
The eight fat men, wielding cleavers furiously, led the charge, appearing unstoppable. The Nangong family descendants fell like crops being cut down, batch after batch.
Eight Earth Realm Great Perfection experts, close to entering the Heaven Realm, charging in one direction – this force was too powerful. Even Heaven Realm experts could not withstand their attacks.
Although once one reached the Earth Realm Great Perfection, they were in the same realm, there was still a vast difference in strength between someone who had just entered Earth Realm Great Perfection and someone who was about to enter the Heaven Realm.
The Earth Realm Great Perfection experts of the Nangong family had all entered the realm in the last decade or so, and there were very few who were close to the Heaven Realm.
However, all eight leaders of the Blazing Saber Sect had entered Earth Realm Great Perfection long ago and were not far from the Heaven Realm. Some had already reached the Heaven Realm in strength but lacked a breakthrough.
The Earth Realm Great Perfection experts of the Nangong family could not withstand the attacks of the Blazing Saber Sect at all. Xiao Ming, holding his Profound Iron cleaver, wanted to join the fight but had not found an opportunity.
Luan Jiping asked curiously, "Xiao Ming, where did you find so many experts?"
Xiao Ming said proudly, "I raised them at home."
This made Luan Jiping even more curious. Luan Jiping knew Xiao Ming's background; Xiao Ming had no home.
"Where did you get a home from, and you raised them at home?" Luan Jiping said unhappily.
Xiao Ming, while keeping an eye on his surroundings, said, "I am a descendant of a Human Chef. They are disciples of the Blazing Saber Sect founded by a Human Chef, and they treat me as their young master."
Luan Jiping finally understood. This kid was tricking people again, and this time he had pulled off a big one.
Luan Jiping was a smart person. The most crucial thing now was to get help. As long as there were people to help, it didn't matter who they were.
The Blazing Saber Sect protected Xiao Ming and the two of them, and they soon fought their way to the entrance of the Nangong Manor. Upon reaching the manor's entrance, they discovered that the entire manor was already surrounded.
There were only a little over a thousand people in the manor. Excluding those attacking Long Xiao, the Blazing Saber Sect only had to deal with five to six hundred people.
Standing at the manor's entrance, they saw tens of thousands of people outside the manor, all holding various cold and hot weapons, eyeing the manor menacingly.
"Stop, everyone, stop," 'Dragon Slayer Blazing Saber' Ji Xian shouted loudly.
Everyone stopped. The surrounding Nangong family descendants quickly retreated and no longer attacked them.
"What do we do?" Liu Dayong turned to Xiao Ming and asked.
Xiao Ming looked at the tens of thousands of people outside the manor and said, "There are tens of thousands of people here. We can't fight them. Let's go back."
The members of the Blazing Saber Sect turned and fought their way back. This time, the Nangong family descendants had learned their lesson. They offered only token resistance before letting Xiao Ming and the others pass.
The siege of Long Xiao was in full swing. Nine Heaven Realm experts, a large number of Earth Realm Great Perfection experts, and a vast amount of vital energy and various weapons were all directed at Long Xiao.
Old Dao Xiao was injured. To protect Long Xiao, he used all his vital energy with all his might to block the attacks from the Heaven Realm experts for Long Xiao.
Seeing that Xiao Ming had already escorted Luan Jiping away, Long Xiao knew that if he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to.
The five-element vital energy was being consumed rapidly. Long Xiao blocked over a dozen long sabers and decided to replenish his vital energy first.
Life vital energy could be absorbed in large quantities and was not harmful to the body. The only drawback was that life vital energy had less offensive power than other types of vital energy.
Another dozen long sabers charged at Long Xiao. Long Xiao used the 'Chimei Xiaoyao Step' to dodge the first few sabers and reached out to grab the latter two.
The five-element vital energy vibrated, and the long sabers shattered into countless steel fragments, which, under the control of the five-element vital energy, shot out in all directions.
The surroundings were filled with enemies. Long Xiao was now unrestrained and used all his abilities.
The five-element vital energy vibration was a large-scale killing technique he had just mastered. The more the five-element vital energy vibrated and stacked, the greater its power.
A wave of screams erupted from the surroundings. More than a dozen people with lower cultivation were hit, their bodies pierced by the shattered steel blades.
While everyone was dodging the shattered steel blades, Long Xiao's figure flickered, and he appeared like a ghost in front of a Nangong family descendant.
He reached out and grabbed. The Nangong family descendant tried his best to dodge but could not escape.
The moment he grabbed the Nangong family descendant, Long Xiao used 'Long Tun Sihai' (Dragon Swallows the Four Seas). An expert at the peak of the Earth Realm turned into a withered corpse in seconds.
Shaking his hand, he threw the corpse away and reached out to grab the next person. Everyone was focused on dodging the steel fragments, and no one noticed what Long Xiao had thrown out.
This time, Long Xiao unleashed pure life vital energy, and the scattered steel blades on the ground all floated up.
Streams of vital energy assaulted him, vying for control of the floating steel blades.
Long Xiao grabbed a floating long saber in front of him and charged into the crowd, shattering the saber in his hand again and using the fragments to indiscriminately attack those around him.
Taking advantage of others' evasion, Long Xiao again clawed at two peak Earth Realm experts in front of him.
The two were grabbed, struggling to break free. After only a brief struggle, they felt all their strength vanish instantly, and even their consciousness began to fade rapidly.
When Long Xiao threw out two more corpses, someone saw it and shouted, "Long Xiao knows the Gluttonous Great Method, quick, dodge!"
Everyone quickly retreated. Even a few Heaven Realm experts dared not approach Long Xiao any further.
Having only absorbed the life vital energy of three people was not enough to compensate for the vital energy he had used. Seeing everyone retreat, Long Xiao simply used 'Long Tun Sihai' and charged towards the crowd.
