Xiao Lingchen's strength had surged once again.
The Xiao Family had nothing more to offer him.
So, before he left, the members of the Xiao Family merely gave him a few words of advice and watched as Xiao Lingchen and Ning Huanhuan departed.
With their current pace, it wouldn't take long for Xiao Lingchen and Ning Huanhuan to return to the Supreme Mystical Sect.
However, there were still two days before the Sect Tournament began.
Xiao Lingchen wasn't in a hurry.
Before returning to the sect, he had one more thing to do.
As night fell.
Xiao Lingchen led Ning Huanhuan deep into a desolate mountain forest.
Here stood a massive bandit camp made of stacked logs, sprawling across several mountain peaks.
The heavy wooden gate was studded with rusty iron nails, covered in knife marks and battle scars.
Inside, bonfires blazed, and tens of thousands of bandits sang and danced, their laughter and merriment creating a lively scene.
In stark contrast were the weak women bound in the corners, pleading and crying.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang!"
A guard at the camp's entrance spotted Xiao Lingchen and raised his blade to shout at him.
Xiao Lingchen smiled and said:
"It seems Second Uncle's information was correct."
During the three months he stayed at home, Xiao Lingchen wasn't just focused on cultivation.
He had Second Uncle help locate the headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang, partly to avenge the siege on the Xiao Family three months ago, and partly to uproot them and eliminate future threats!
As he spoke, Xiao Lingchen drew his Phoenix Emperor Sword.
In an instant, a thousand malevolent auras soared into the sky, enveloping the vast camp!
The laughter of the Black Tiger Gang members in the camp came to an abrupt halt, feeling as if they had plunged from summer into winter in a heartbeat.
"How dare you! What do you intend to do?!"
The guard at the camp's entrance was shocked and quickly brandished his blade in question.
But in the next second, they were cut down by a single strike from Xiao Lingchen!

What Xiao Lingchen did immediately drew the attention of the other Black Tiger Gang members in the camp.
Suddenly, killing intent filled the air.
"How dare you!"
"Who are you to cause trouble at the gates of the Black Tiger Gang?!"
"Kill him!!"
In the next moment, thousands of Black Tiger Gang members swarmed to attack!
Xiao Lingchen smirked coldly, raised his sword, and charged into the crowd, unleashing a massacre!
Behind him, Ning Huanhuan was not idle either; there were many innocent people captured by the Black Dragon Gang here.
To avoid accidental harm, she had to rescue those captives quickly.
And just then.
She suddenly sensed several powerful auras.
This made Ning Huanhuan, who was in the midst of rescuing people, shudder.
Looking back, she saw three experts with strength above the sixth level of the Dao Palace Realm attacking Xiao Lingchen!
"Be careful!"
Ning Huanhuan shouted urgently.
Xiao Lingchen, however, was unfazed, spinning his sword to strike at the three attackers!
In a flash, six bodies fell from the sky.
Even in death, the three attackers' eyes remained wide open, unable to rest in peace.
Clearly, they couldn't comprehend why, despite having the same late-stage Dao Palace Realm strength, the three of them were no match for Xiao Lingchen alone.
Ning Huanhuan's eyes widened in disbelief!
Only now did she realize.
In just a few months, Xiao Lingchen had grown so powerful!
Now, she feared she was no longer a match for Xiao Lingchen!
This made Ning Huanhuan smile bitterly:
"How could such a monstrous existence exist in this world? I'm afraid that in a little while, I can only look up to him."
Soon, Xiao Lingchen, with just one sword, slaughtered his way through the entire Black Tiger Gang.
Tens of thousands of Black Tiger Gang members lay dead in pools of blood.
Among them, there were more than a dozen Dao Palace Realm experts!
And the entire process took less than half a quarter of an hour!
Today, the Black Tiger Gang's leader, Luo Xiaohu, had taken people outside to seize treasures.
In the midst of a struggle, he suddenly received news of his home being raided and hurried back.
When he returned to the camp, he found that tens of thousands of Black Tiger Gang members had all fallen in pools of blood.
Seeing this scene of carnage, Luo Xiaohu was so furious he could explode!
"Who!!!!"
"Who did this!!!"
At that moment, a red sword light sliced through the night sky, slashing toward him!
Luo Xiaohu quickly raised his blade to block!
However, even though he was already at the half-step Breaking Illusions Realm, he was still pushed back hundreds of feet by the terrifying Sword Qi!
He looked up in shock, gazing in the direction from which the sword light had come.
There, a young man in red, covered in blood, was walking toward him with a sword in hand.
"You must be Luo Xiaohu, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang?"
Luo Xiaohu squinted his eyes:
"I am Luo Xiaohu."
"And who are you?"
Xiao Lingchen replied:
"Xiao Lingchen of the Xiao Family in Azure Cloud City."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaohu's mind raced with memories.
In the next moment, his eyes widened in horror:
"You didn't die!"
It hadn't been long, so Luo Xiaohu naturally hadn't forgotten.
A few months ago, he learned that the three Protectors of his Black Tiger Gang in Fengshang City had been slain by a young man named Xiao Lingchen.
Enraged, he sent the three Protectors and tens of thousands of gang members to Azure Cloud City to settle the score with the Xiao Family.
He thought that neither Xiao Lingchen nor the Xiao Family would have a place to rest in peace.
Who would have thought that today, Xiao Lingchen would appear in his camp and slaughter all his gang members!
At this moment, he finally understood why the subordinates he sent had been silent for over three months.
They must have met with misfortune long ago!
Realizing this, Luo Xiaohu stared at Xiao Lingchen with eyes wide open in rage:
"Did you kill all my men?"
Xiao Lingchen pointed his sword at Luo Xiaohu and said:
"Not just them, today, you will die too!"
Luo Xiaohu was so enraged that he laughed:
"Hahaha!!!"
"Good! Good! Very good!!!"
"I can't remember the last time someone dared to speak to me like this!"
"Boy, today I'll show you the consequences of offending me, Luo Xiaohu. I'll make sure you can't live or die!!!"
At this moment, Luo Xiaohu's fury erupted completely!
His cultivation, nearly reaching the Breaking Illusions Realm, burst forth like a cannonball toward Xiao Lingchen.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xiao Lingchen.
His tiger claw appeared, reaching for Xiao Lingchen!
"Clang!!!"
This was the first time Xiao Lingchen faced such a powerful opponent.
It was also the strongest enemy Xiao Lingchen had encountered so far!
However, even though Luo Xiaohu's cultivation was nearly at the Breaking Illusions Realm.
He was still only at the Dao Palace Realm.
With Xiao Lingchen's strength, even if a true Breaking Illusions Realm expert arrived, he could still fight, let alone Luo Xiaohu, who was only at the Dao Palace Realm.
Luo Xiaohu's claw was easily blocked by Xiao Lingchen.
With a backhanded strike, Xiao Lingchen severed his wrist!
"Ah!!!"
Blood spurted out, and the pain made Luo Xiaohu scream and retreat.
At this moment, Luo Xiaohu realized the severity of the situation; this young man was much stronger than he had imagined.
He intended to distance himself from Xiao Lingchen and find an opportunity for a fatal strike!
However, Xiao Lingchen gave him no chance!
As Luo Xiaohu retreated, Xiao Lingchen pursued with his sword.
In the next instant, the Phoenix Emperor Sword pierced straight into Luo Xiaohu's chest!
