Xiao Tianhao's expression froze, and he turned his gaze rather fearfully to Jin Tiancheng, who was slowly walking toward him with a condensed expression.
He knew that whether he could finally leave Lingxu Cave safely today depended on whether he could gain the upper hand in the game with the old man in front of him who seemed to be decrepit and dying.
To be honest, he was not sure whether he could make the other party compromise with such a legendary old antique.
But his heart was open, and from the moment the secret in the stone house was discovered, he had no way out.
Now that things have come to a point, we can only face the difficulties head on.
Either escape wholeheartedly and escape, or die and use this little girl as a backing up.
After figuring it out, Xiao Tianhao suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear, and his whole body seemed to have broken free from the cage, feeling relaxed physically and mentally.
When his eyes met Jin Tiancheng's ancient and calm eyes again, the fear and nervousness in his heart were greatly relieved.
"Hahaha, this is such an unexpected surprise." Xiao Tianhao was ecstatic. He never thought that under the current pressure, he would break through and gain new insights. "Master once said that my mind was too complicated.
This will most likely become an obstacle for me to break through to the first-grade master realm in the future."
"But now it seems that the shortcomings have been eliminated, and a bright and prosperous road awaits me."
"I am confident that as long as I have enough training resources, I will be able to advance to the first-level Grandmaster realm in the shortest possible time."
"Of course, it's too early to say this now. The most important thing right now is to get out of this hellish place alive."
Naturally, Jin Tiancheng saw all Xiao Tianhao's changes in a short period of time.
A trace of astonishment flashed across his face.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sigh.
"The qualifications are excellent. As expected, there will be opportunities to enter the field of first-class master realm in the future."
"It's just a pity that I made the wrong mistake and went astray..."
Shaking his head, Jin Tiancheng, who was almost approaching the ten meters in front of Xiao Tianhao, suddenly stopped.
"Xiao Tianhao, let that little girl go, I'll leave you a whole body!"
Although Jin Tiancheng said this very calmly, Xiao Tianhao still heard the murderous intention in the other person's words.
Thinking of this, his heart tightened, but he quickly looked straight at Jin Tiancheng without giving in, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Senior, I'll leave my words here. If you want to keep me, okay, then
I can only drag this little sister to death!"
"However, there is one ugly thing I want to say first."
"This little sister is the apple of the Yuzhou Su family's eye. If I accidentally kill her under your strong force, I can't guarantee that the Yuzhou Su family won't go crazy."
"It's just that I'm afraid I'll be dead by then."
"With no one to vent their anger to, the Yuzhou Su family will direct their anger on whomever, that's none of my business."
Speaking of this, Xiao Tianhao looked at Jin Tiancheng with playful eyes, a little curious about how this old guy would choose?
Glancing at the soul-leaving hook with purple light flashing in Su Ruogou's hand, Jin Tiancheng's eyes flashed slightly: "The soul-leaving hook..."
Naturally, it is impossible for him not to know the soul-leaving hook that has long been famous in the world of cultivation.
After all, those few peerless magic weapons, including the soul-leaving hook, are the foundation on which the Yuzhou Su family can stand in the world of cultivation for hundreds of years.
It can be said that no one in the spiritual practice world knows about it.
"This is trouble." Jin Tiancheng had a headache. He knew that Xiao Tianhao was right.
Based on his understanding of the Su family in Yuzhou, once the little girl in front of him dies here, it will definitely cause huge turmoil.
If it is not good, it may break the long-standing default balance between the country and the spiritual world.
"Damn it, I was really plotted by this kid Xiao Tianhao."
"Perhaps, from the beginning, he regarded the little girl from the Su family in Yuzhou as the best hostage candidate."
Jin Tiancheng's face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water. He had never been so aggrieved and felt that his lungs were about to explode.
Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Tianhao's mouth raised slightly.
Being able to play with a first-level master level expert in the midst of applause, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart.
"Senior, have you thought carefully? Time waits for no one. I'm afraid if I keep waiting like this, this little sister will bleed to death." Xiao Tianhao smiled lightly.
"Xiaojiu..." Su Ruogou's eyes were bright red, and tears fell down his cheeks.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet!
Su Ruogou grasped the soul-leaving hook tightly with both hands. Because he used too much force, his knuckles began to turn white slightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were even more exposed.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Su Ruogou walked towards Jin Tiancheng.
Biting his lip, when he was still two meters away from Jin Tiancheng, Su Ruogou bent his legs and his knees hit the ground paved with bluestones.
"Bang!"
After being hit hard, cracks appeared on the bluestone on the spot.
"Old Su!" Duanmu Nana's eyes turned red instantly, and her long nails dug deeply into her flesh, but she didn't notice it at all.
Everyone present was silent in response.
"Senior!" Su Ruogou let go of his hands, and the two soul-leaving hooks fell to the ground. Immediately, he looked up at Jin Tiancheng, with a look of pleading on his face, "Please raise your noble hand and let Xiao Tianhao go."
Let’s go, my sister…”
"Boy from the Su family, you are so confused!" Jin Tiancheng looked at Su Ruogou with hatred, "Do you think people like Xiao Tianhao will keep their promises?"
"Don't be naive!"
"Once he takes your sister and escapes from here, I can guarantee you that he will definitely kill your sister and silence her."
"Senior, please don't slander me. I can't do such a ruthless thing." Xiao Tianhao said with a confident smile.
"Shut up!" Jin Tiancheng yelled angrily, "Still slandering you? Xiao Tianhao, I tell you, I will keep you no matter what you say today, and I will never let you, an evil heretic, go home."
"Evil heretics?" Everyone was suspicious.
In fact, most people present were still a little confused about the situation. Why did Xiao Tianhao suddenly seem to be a different person?
Moreover, Jin Tiancheng, a first-level master, had to kill him...
"Old Zhou, what should we do now?" Wang Keer pulled Zhou Shiqi's sleeves and was so anxious that she almost cried again. She was now at a loss, so Zhou Shiqi became her last life-saving straw.
He gently patted the back of Wang Ke'er's hand to signal her to calm down. Then, Zhou Shiqi quietly glanced at the bulging coat pockets of little Lolita Su Ruoyi not far away.
