Seeing that Xiao Yunlong remained unmoved, Sima Nantian was slightly stunned and said sternly, "Xiao, we know your true identity. You came here specifically to save these hostages. If they die because of you, do you not care?"
"I did come to save the hostages, and I naturally care about their lives. But for you scumbags to try and threaten me like this is a grave mistake!"
Xiao Yunlong remained standing in the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, unyielding.
"Kid, I think you're just refusing to shed tears until you see the coffin. If that's the case, I'll kill a couple of them to show you!"
Sima Nantian, the Great Island Master, turned his head and signaled to the one-eyed dragon.
The Fifth Island Master understood immediately and took out his phone to dial a number.
However, after the phone rang for a long time, no one answered.
"This bastard, why isn't he answering the phone at this crucial moment? What is he doing!"
The Fifth Island Master, the one-eyed dragon, cursed and dialed another number, but again, no one answered.
"Damn it, these scoundrels! Did they get drunk again last night!"
The one-eyed dragon dialed several more numbers, but none were answered.
"What... what is going on?" The one-eyed dragon was getting anxious. The other island masters also seemed to sense something was wrong, and their expressions turned grim.
Xiao Yunlong smiled faintly and said, "No need to call anymore. These people have already gone to see the King of Hell!"
"What? Did you kill them?" the island masters exclaimed in shock.
"Impossible, I don't believe it. I have to go and see!"
The Fifth Island Master, the one-eyed dragon, said and rushed out. He was moving very fast, and since he was already by the gate, he was about to dash out in an instant.
"Trying to run? Do you think that's possible!"
Xiao Yunlong sneered, his figure flickered, and he instantly appeared behind the other party. Then, he unleashed the divine kingdom power within him and threw a punch.
Everyone heard a loud bang. The one-eyed dragon spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. As he fell to the ground, his body convulsed, and then he immediately died.
The other island masters' faces changed dramatically upon seeing this!
Xiao Yunlong didn't even glance at the robust corpse outside the door. He clapped his hands and slowly walked back.
Last night, Li Guangfa, Mao Guozhi, and Jun Bufan led a small elite team to secretly land on the island and quietly eliminated the thugs who were holding the hostages.
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong certainly couldn't let this one-eyed dragon go to investigate, as Li Guangfa and the others' martial cultivation might not be a match for the Fifth Island Master.
Sima Nantian's face turned extremely grim. He said repeatedly, "Good, good, a feint! Xiao, this island master truly underestimated you before!"
Xiao Yunlong stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back again and said, "Sima Nantian, show me your strength. Let me see what a half-step Xiantian True Essence realm expert is capable of!"
"Then, as you wish. Today, I, I will surely kill you!"
As Sima Nantian finished speaking, he suddenly leaped into the air. While in mid-air, his figure strangely shrank, as if he had turned into a bat.
Xiao Yunlong frowned upon seeing this and blurted out, "Is this... Bone Shrinking Art?"
Before his voice faded, a black shadow flashed and instantly arrived in front of him.
Xiao Yunlong was startled and immediately activated the divine kingdom power within him, executing the Eight Trigrams Dragon Movement technique to dodge backward like lightning.
The bat-like black shadow missed its attack and lunged again. Its speed was so fast that the air hissed sharply.
Xiao Yunlong put away his underestimation. The opponent's movement technique and speed were truly bizarre, resembling the Bone Shrinking Yin Bat Art. He wondered where the opponent had learned such a vicious martial art.
The bat-like black shadow's speed increased, continuously attacking in a swirling manner. Judging by its lethality, if it got close, one's head would likely be severed in an instant!
Xiao Yunlong continuously dodged using the Eight Trigrams Dragon Movement technique. No matter how the bat-like black shadow swirled and attacked, he was always able to evade it without any danger.
"Xiao, I didn't expect your movement technique and speed to be so terrifying at such a young age. However, I want to see how long you can keep dodging. Once your internal energy is depleted, it will be your death!"
Sima Nantian's fierce roar suddenly echoed through the air.
"Your Bone Shrinking Yin Bat Art is indeed quite bizarre, but to think you can kill me with it, you're thinking too highly of yourself!"
Xiao Yunlong snorted coldly. He instantly activated five more divine kingdoms within him. His aura surged, and then he unleashed the Shaolin Great Vajra Finger, pointing it out!
Accompanied by a scream of pain, the bat-like black shadow was struck by the finger and flew backward.
With a bang, Sima Nantian's short, dwarfish body reappeared before everyone as he fell to the ground. He was gasping for breath, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and his face looking pale. He seemed to have been injured by Xiao Yunlong's finger.
"Boss, how are you? Are you alright?"
The other three island masters rushed to help him up. They knew very well that if even their boss couldn't defeat the opponent, they might truly meet their end here today.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. This kid can't kill me, he's still too inexperienced!" Sima Nantian wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up.
The other three island masters breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"To be able to stand up after taking one of my fingers is somewhat surprising. You truly are a strong expert who has one foot in the Xiantian True Essence realm!" Xiao Yunlong said in a deep voice.
"Xiao, you are indeed very powerful. No wonder you can become the King of the Northern Territory at such a young age!"
Sima Nantian snorted coldly and added, "But it's a pity that you will die here today. Next, I will let you see the true strength of a quasi-Xiantian True Essence realm expert!"
As his voice fell, Sima Nantian's body suddenly made crackling sounds, as if his joints were moving.
Then, under the shocked gaze of the surrounding crowd, Sima Nantian gradually grew taller and larger, transforming into a tall and majestic old man in an instant.
Xiao Yunlong slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said mockingly, "I was wondering how someone with your three-inch dwarfish stature managed to seduce the wife of the Nine Elder Mountain Lord back then. So this is your true form!"
Sima Nantian suddenly burst into laughter, "I've been hiding on Geek Island, living in anonymity for over thirty years, even going so far as to use the Bone Shrinking Art to change my physique and appearance, but I didn't expect you to find out!"
"Since that's the case, I have no reason to hide anymore. You should consider it an honor to die at my hands today!"
After speaking, Sima Nantian slowly drew a snake-shaped saber. The curved saber was ancient in its design, even somewhat bizarre.
The moment Sima Nantian held the snake saber, his entire aura changed. A strong wind suddenly swept through the courtyard, and fallen leaves swirled around him.
At this moment, Sima Nantian, holding the snake saber, seemed like a blade god, as if he were dominating this area!
"Die!" Sima Nantian roared and slashed his saber through the air.
Instantly, the wind and clouds changed. A terrifying saber energy, like a giant snake with its mouth agape, descended to bite Xiao Yunlong.
However, this giant snake appeared somewhat blurry, merely a phantom.
"Is this, True Essence Manifestation?" Xiao Yunlong was slightly surprised.
It was rumored that upon reaching the Xiantian True Essence realm, one's true essence could manifest into various forms when unleashed, which was extremely peculiar and possessed immense offensive power.
He had only seen it in ancient texts before, and now he was witnessing it firsthand!
However, judging from the blurry giant snake, Sima Nantian was likely only half a step into the Xiantian True Essence realm, so what he unleashed was merely a phantom, not a true manifestation of his true essence.
In an instant, this blurry giant snake reached his head!
In this moment of crisis, Xiao Yunlong opened one divine kingdom after another within him, opening eighteen in one go. This was the first time he had opened so many divine kingdoms at once.
Then, Xiao Yunlong threw a punch!
Boom...
As the fist struck, the heavens and earth changed color!
