Chapter 853 - 858: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (Part 2)
Chapter 853: Chapter 858: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (Part 2)
Rong Lin also broke out in a cold sweat, immediately glaring fiercely at his younger brother, Rong Xing!
At this moment, Rong Xing felt as if he had narrowly escaped death!
As for any post-crisis benefits, forget it, he wasn’t going to think about that anymore!
Because the two who rushed at Lin Xi just now were the leaders of their respective sides, and the strongest among them.
But the two strongest were like elephants facing ants under Lin Xi’s two punches, the whole person was directly sent flying.
They landed at the edge of the thin mist, looking as dead as could be!
Then Lin Xi’s figure flickered, and instantly the other five people, just like their leaders, were thrown next to them, neatly laid out, also as dead as could be.
They were all killed by Lin Xi in a single move.
And they had no chance to fight back, which means they never even touched Lin Xi.
"This has got to be something other than human!" Rong Xing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn’t help but whisper, "This is definitely beyond the Soldier King Realm, could it be that at this age he’s already Innate?"
"Then when he killed Howard before, he must have been hiding his strength!"
Rong Xing was also sweating, and after wiping it off, he looked at his elder brother on the side and couldn’t help but feel fortunate for listening to him, otherwise the two brothers would definitely have no chance of survival!
While the two were feeling a chill all over, Lin Xi turned and gave them a glance, very empathetically asking, "Are you dissatisfied with what just happened?"
The two brothers immediately shook their heads like rattles, and Rong Lin wiped his forehead sweat again, stammering, "No, no, no, absolutely nothing like that, paying a fee to pass is a righteous matter in itself!"
Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction and kindly asked again, "If there’s any dissatisfaction, you must speak up!"
"I’m a very reasonable person!"
The Rong brothers, their negative emotions suddenly spiked to +999...
The expressions of Shangguan Nishang and the other four improved as they looked toward Lin Xi.
They knew that Lin Xi’s actions this time were clearly in large part for avenging them.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have demanded everything from those four.
When dealing with the two brothers, he only took half.
As for why he took eighty percent from the other three, they guessed it was probably because those three were infamous mercenaries involved in countless crimes.
Taking more from such people is definitely a good thing.
Zhou Yan felt quite complicated, as a public police officer, she had witnessed several deaths today, mostly at Lin Xi’s hands.
Logically speaking, she should stop Lin Xi.
And say, such things should be handled by their law enforcement departments.
But for some reason, she actually had a subtle feeling of approval, thinking these people got what they deserved, could it be because they wanted to kill them?
Perhaps, or maybe because these people weren’t good people at all.
Another possibility is that they were killed by Lin Xi!
On the side, Avril Jolie’s eyes flickered uncertainly.
This Lin Xi person, she seemed to need a reassessment!
Not only is his power terrifyingly strong, but also he is so young, and coupled with his decisive killing and shamelessness, if he isn’t eliminated now, then from this point onward, he must not be offended.
Otherwise, it would surely bring unimaginable crisis to the whole family.
At the same time, she wondered who else could possibly have the strength to eliminate him now?
At this time, the Fourth Elder of the Shangguan family, as if nothing had happened, hurried to the place where the seven people lay, touching them one by one.
In less than a minute, he had searched them all thoroughly.
The proficiency seemed as if he had done it hundreds of times.
Of course, he also harvested two small bags, a ginseng as thick as a forearm, and two extraordinary-looking lingzhi mushrooms.
When he ran back holding these things to hand them to Lin Xi, he noticed that the Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Miss, as well as the other two women, and even Lin Xi, had a slightly bizarre expression looking at him.
He couldn’t help but ask in confusion, "What’s the matter with everyone?"
The Grand Elder coughed twice, hiding the slight embarrassment flashing on his face, "Old Fourth, your searching speed is pretty impressive!"
"Of course!" The Fourth Elder said proudly, "I found out I have an inexplicable talent for this sort of thing!"
"If I had such a high talent for martial arts, I would have become Innate long ago!"
Everyone, "..."
Did he really think it was a compliment? How shameless!
In the distance, Rong Lin and Rong Xing exchanged a glance and whispered, "It looks like this group of people has done this type of thing more than once!"
It was at this moment, when Lin Xi killed the last five with a punch, that seven teams of people emerged from the mist.
And the mist had thinned considerably, allowing a faint view of the outside situation.
Thus, they felt a little uneasy all over.
They didn’t know whether to go out or stay within the thin mist, they weren’t sure if Lin Xi would turn lethal on them if they came out.
They also didn’t understand why Lin Xi killed those people.
After all, the banner was something they hadn’t paid much attention to.
Could it be these people had enmity with him?
They also noticed the Rong brothers standing not far behind Lin Xi unharmed, which gave them a bit of reassurance.
One of the groups was the first to leave.
And Lin Xi, as well as Zhou Yan and Avril Jolie, recognized them.
They were the ones who had appeared when Lin Xi killed the two top-ranked hyenas, and also killed four outside, otherwise, the safety of Lin Xi and the two women would have been uncertain.
Because at that time, Lin Xi was exhausted of the last bit of True Qi, critically injured, and unable to move.
Zhou Yan was slightly better, but had no fighting capacity left, and as for Avril Jolie, she had no strength to speak of.
However, these five, after killing the hyenas, didn’t care about Lin Xi and the others, they just left!
As this group stepped out of the mist, they saw not only five dead people, but two more, two people they recognized, both notorious and by no means kind.
Of course, they also noticed the banner next to Lin Xi.
And they saw the schadenfreude on Rong Lin and Rong Xing’s faces.
"So that’s what’s going on!" the leading boss finally understood why.
Were those bodies over there because they refused to pay for passage and were killed?
That must be it!
This leading boss and his team had already known about Lin Xi’s prowess, and though they didn’t understand why he recovered so quickly, they did saw with their own eyes him kill so many powerful people.
Their strength was far inferior to these people.
So, pay up!
After all, life is the most precious thing!
He then asked Lin Xi, "Hey buddy, how much do we need to pay?"
"Whatever it is, we’re willing. After all, money is just a material possession, we can always earn more!"
"You building this road must have been no easy task, costing money and effort, so paying is only reasonable!"
Rong Lin and Rong Xing, "...."
They thought to themselves, this is too shameless!
Shangguan Nishang and the others were initially stunned but then thought this person was really savvy and sensible; clearly, the kill-to-warn approach had a significant effect!
She couldn’t help but laugh, "This uncle is amusing!"
