Chapter 27 Alright! Come on up together!

  （0027）

  Xia Xingxiao stared in the direction where Ma Peng had disappeared and said in a low voice: "Was Ma Peng bought by you?"

  The golden-haired, expressionless man said, "He didn't need us to buy him. He's afraid of death. We asked him to hand over 300,000 star coins, but he couldn't come up with it, so he had no choice but to agree to our demands. Of course, he never thought we'd show up here."

  Xia Xing Xiao nodded silently. Ma Peng was indeed an ordinary person. His family background was just that of a common resident's household. Three hundred thousand star coins, for Ma Peng at this moment, were simply impossible to produce. Under someone else's threat, he could not help but yield. Moreover, in Ma Peng's heart, there might also be disappointment with himself and the intention to change his ways.

  In the past few days, Ma Peng has not appeared, obviously he is very pessimistic about his own prospects. I guess it's because he found out that he had been messing around and had learned over a hundred kinds of martial arts, he thought he had gone crazy, so he decided to give up on himself and cling to someone else's thigh instead.

  For Xia Xingxiao, this feeling is indeed not good. This bad feeling is not because he was blocked halfway, but because of Ma Peng's lie. I guess anyone would hate it when others lie to them, especially those around them.

  But this is also good, Ma Peng's true face was revealed earlier, and it won't bring any serious consequences. The secret on his body, Ma Peng never knew from the beginning. Otherwise, if he had leaked it out, the consequences would have been even more severe. This incident also reminded Xia Xingxiao not to easily believe others, especially those who actively come to her.

  Xia Xingxiao never thought that he would be a savior, always so overbearing and tyrannical. With just one movement of his body, there would be younger brothers crying and wailing, begging him to take them in. If he didn't, they would threaten to kill themselves.

  That day, Ma Peng took the initiative to deliver it to his doorstep, but he didn't take it seriously. Collecting younger brothers wasn't done that way. It's much harder to see through a person's heart than to cultivate martial arts. No matter how advanced the technology in the Starry Sky World is, it's impossible to see into someone else's inner world.

  Not even the closest of people can fully understand each other's thoughts. To the point where most cultivators would rather believe in their own battle puppets, their own mounts and battle pets, than believe in other cultivators.

  Betrayal is a heart-wrenching blow to anyone. Whether you're a genius or a prodigy, if you encounter betrayal from your subordinates, you'll go crazy. There have been at least three Star Wars in the past, all of which were triggered by the betrayal of certain big shots or the outbreak of betrayal. And every time there's a Star War, betrayals are rampant.

  At this moment, Xia Xingxiao had a small feeling of being betrayed. This feeling made Xia Xingxiao feel very uncomfortable. Although Ma Peng's betrayal did not have any substantial consequences for him, the uncomfortable feeling manifested in Xia Xingxiao's mind as a desire to kill someone, a desire to vent his emotions.

  "What do you want?" Xia Xingxiao asked calmly.

  "Let you disappear from this world." The golden-haired man with a crew cut replied proudly.

  This big guy's tone of voice is obviously somewhat arrogant. When he speaks, his eyes don't even look at Xia Xingxiao straight, as if he's treating him like air. If it weren't for his own strength being relatively strong, or the backing behind him being strong, ordinary people wouldn't dare speak with such an arrogant tone.

  Xia Xing didn't say anything else. He stood silently, thinking about the opportunity to strike back. His fighting experience was actually very limited, especially in a situation like this where he was outnumbered five to one, which he had never encountered before. Therefore, he needed to think carefully about what to do to resolve the crisis in front of him. The best outcome would be to take down all his opponents.

  In essence, Xia Xingxiao is absolutely not a good person. In fact, he's even more ruthless than Song Haicheng. If he had the chance to make Song Haicheng disappear, he probably wouldn't hesitate. As a matter of fact, he had previously thought about how to silently get rid of Song Haicheng without leaving any aftermath. Unfortunately, Song Haicheng made the first move.

  Among the two people standing in front of Xia Xingxiao, one had a black crew cut and was likely another person with status. Seeing that Xia Xingxiao didn't make any move, he sneered coldly, his face icy as he stared at Xia Xingxiao, saying deeply: "Xia Xingxiao, don't expect anyone to come and save you! This is the edge of the base's territory, rarely visited by people, with no surveillance. Even if you die, nobody will know what happened here."

  Xia Xingxiao said slowly and calmly: "The army lost a new recruit for no reason..."

  The black-haired, square-headed man sneered and said disdainfully, "Don't you know that in the depths of the military base's cave, there will always be some inexplicable monsters appearing? If someone goes missing, it's highly likely that they were dragged away and eaten by a monster. You're just a new recruit, getting lost isn't unusual, is it? Don't worry, we'll definitely handle this matter without anyone noticing. Just go on your way with peace of mind."

  Xia Xing nodded slightly.

  Very good, this answer is very good.

  It seems he can now let loose and go all out.

  The black board inches head, as if instantly unlocked Xia Xing Xiao's heart shackles.

  He was bound by the mysterious pearl in his body, and he had cultivated so many martial arts. If he didn't use them well, wouldn't it be a waste of this mysterious pearl? His personality wasn't one to like trouble. However, if someone provoked him, he wouldn't mind causing a big scene either. Since the other side had declared they would take him down, he would definitely and seriously take them down instead.

  The golden-haired man behind him said, "Xia Xingxiao, we all appreciate your romantic action movies. To be honest, I've watched all the videos. We're all envious of your extravagant life. However, now you must go die."

  "You should at least let me die with a clear understanding. Who are you people? Why did you accept Song Haicheng's commission? I don't know how much Song Haicheng paid you, but maybe I can also afford it."

  The golden-haired man sneered and said with a smile: "Do you think that the Twelfth Young Master is also like you, a nouveau riche? Do you think what we value are just those few entrusted gold coins? You're wrong! What we value is the identity of the Twelfth Young Master! The Twelfth Young Master comes from a truly aristocratic family, and you nouveau riches can't even compare to him!"

  "Who are we? Hehe, let me tell you the truth! We are the five brothers of dragon, tiger, leopard, lion and elephant! My name is Wu Qilong, they are my younger brothers Zhou Haohu, Zheng Zhibao, Wang Haili, Feng Tiexiang. Although we are not biological brothers, we are more like real brothers! It's been a long time since the five of us have joined forces to take on a mission. This time, it can be considered your honor. Being able to die at the hands of the five of us is your honor, so just go quietly!"

  Xia Xing nodded thoughtfully, smiled innocently and said in a low voice: "If I offer double or more of the price, can you let me go? Or, I'm willing to pay more, please help me take down Song Haicheng?"

  Wu Qilong's eyes rolled around, seemingly thinking of something, and said in a low voice: "Then it depends on how much you offer. You have to show some sincerity, right?"

  Xia Xingxiao said casually: "One Longbao, how about it? If one is not enough, then two? Anyway, the price will definitely make you feel satisfied!"

  Wu Qilong's eyes suddenly shone brightly. One dragon coin was equivalent to one billion star coins. A whole billion star coins! This was indeed very enticing for low-level cultivators. Cultivators themselves might not have many uses for star coins, but they also had family members, didn't they? Who wouldn't want their loved ones to live a comfortable life?

  Zhou Haohu suddenly shouted: "Xia Xingxiao, don't dream about it! Don't think you can buy us off with money! If you don't die today, we'll all be in trouble! Big brother, let's hurry up and kill him, then go back and report. What if the Twelfth Master is not satisfied? We'll all be finished!"

  Wu Qilong's face changed slightly, and he quickly dispelled the extra thoughts in his mind. Just now, he was indeed greedy, trying to extort a sum of money from Xia Xingxiao before killing him. If he could extort a few Long coins, that would be great. But Zhou Haotian's words shattered all his thoughts. Between completing the task and getting rich, he had no choice but to choose the former. This was a matter of life and death.

  Zhou Haotiger stared at Xia Xingxiao, coldly saying: "Xia Xingxiao, we won't make it difficult for you, just kill yourself. If you do, maybe you can still keep your body intact. But if we take action, I'm afraid there won't even be any ashes left."

  "Of course, if you're willing to hand over your money before you die, we can arrange for your body to be sent back to your family. Otherwise, it'll just go to the space beasts outside the Melon Military Base. There are many giant spiders out there, and with a casual toss, you'll belong to them. I think they'll really like your corpse."

  Xia Xing Xiao Cha flipped his eyes and said: "So to speak, you guys have got me cornered?"

  Wu Qilong burst out laughing and said disdainfully, "We'll eat you up? It's not that simple. We can crush your bones with just one person. But to show our respect for you, we've decided to send all five of us together. Do you know how strong the combined strength of the five of us is? Even if you're a top-notch soldier, you can't withstand our numbers! Today, no matter how great your skills are, you won't be able to fly out of here."

  "Alright! Come on up!" Xia Xingxiao shouted loudly, without hesitation, and immediately unfolded the Bird Crossing Technique to charge forward.
