314: Chapter 314: Robbery, Light Crystal and Token 314: Chapter 314: Robbery, Light Crystal and Token Sikong Jing’s hands transformed into pitch-black claws before he plunged into the crowd.

“Ah…”

An Xingluo Academy student at the Martial Body Realm was viciously torn apart…

After two days of battle and comprehension, Sikong Jing had grasped the third move, the Black Refining Dark Hook Claw.

The meridians belonging to the Black Refining Dark Hook Dragon within his body had developed and extended considerably, granting him even more formidable strength.

Qian Jingfu of the Qian Family was also at the Martial Soul Realm and was an Inner Palace Student at the Holy Dragon Palace, while the students from Xingluo Palace in front of him were not from the Inner Palace.

They were merely official students of Xingluo Palace and were much weaker than Qian Jingfu.

Screams of agony rang out around Sikong Jing.

One after another, Xingluo Palace students were directly torn apart as Sikong Jing seemed to have turned into a devil, his entire body emanating Demonic Qi as he killed mercilessly.

Suddenly, the students from Xingluo Palace were scared out of their wits, and someone shouted, “He’s not human, run for it!”

“Since you’ve come, don’t even think about leaving!”

Sikong Jing chased after them with a sinister slaughter, causing one after another to fall on the spot.

At that moment, the last student threw himself at Master Wang, shrieking, “Master Wang, save me, he’s coming for me!”

After speaking, he tried to hide behind Master Wang.

But Sikong Jing still caught up, grabbed the student, and in full view of Master Wang, tore him into two halves.

By then, the twenty-odd students from Xingluo Palace had all been killed by Sikong Jing.

Master Wang’s body was continuously surging with True Qi; although he wanted to make a move, he dared not.

He feared that if he acted, the Ancient Demon Dragon would arrive.

At that point, the entire Xingluo Palace would be destroyed, and then the Demon Dragon would go to the headquarters of Xingluo Academy and wreak great destruction.

“Giggle, giggle, giggle…”

Master Wang’s teeth chattered loudly, yet that was all he could do, powerless.

In the distance, the onlookers exchanged looks, their faces stunned.

Ning Shouye was even more gobsmacked as he said, “Strange, why is a master from Xingluo Palace just watching his students die?

Are the Xingluo Palace’s methods of tempering students so cruel?”

Apart from using it as a means to temper students, Ning Shouye could think of no other reason why Master Wang would not intervene to save them.

Aside from Ning Jingjing and Elder Wei, the two who were in the know, no one knew the reason.

Eventually, Master Wang gritted his teeth and said, “Kid, you better stay in the Holy Dragon Palace and not come out, or you’re dead for sure.”

After dropping a few threatening words, Master Wang prepared to leave; staying any longer would only cause him to lose face.

“Stop right there!”

However, Sikong Jing suddenly spoke up.

He slowly extended his hand toward Master Wang and said coldly, “This is a robbery, hand over your Light Crystals and Master Token.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was dumbfounded.

“Has this kid gone mad?”

“It’s obvious that the master from Xingluo Palace is reluctant to kill him because of his status, and yet he dares to push his luck further?”

“Robbing a master of Xingluo Palace?

Has his brain been kicked by a donkey?”

Including Ning Shouye, everyone watching felt an extreme sense of speechlessness, looking at Sikong Jing as if he were a dead man.

Someone even said definitively, “He’s done for; this time the master of Xingluo Palace will definitely not spare him.”

Unless Master Wang was a coward, he would never tolerate it.

But Master Wang’s entire face turned red, and his body trembled violently as he said, “You…

don’t go too far.”

If a tutor from Xingluo Palace were robbed, especially by a Martial Artist with a Spirit Martial Root, it would become the laughingstock of the entire Long Night Empire.

When Palace Master Yu and the others return, they definitely wouldn’t let him off easily.

But at this moment, Sikong Jing suddenly clutched at his chest, appearing to be in great discomfort.

“Master Wang, I think your True Qi may have injured me,” Sikong Jing said with difficulty.

As soon as Sikong Jing spoke these words, Master Wang’s angry and frenzied expression froze.

He then looked around in terror, his voice trembling, “You, you, you mustn’t spout nonsense.

When did I injure you?”

This Martial Artist with a Spirit Martial Root was clearly threatening him.

Pretending to be injured was a ploy to draw the Ancient Demon Dragon near.

Damn it!

Shameless!

“Master Wang, if you don’t hand over the Light Crystal and Master Token, then I will definitely find a way to have you bear the injury,” Sikong Jing threatened.

“Would you like to try it out?” he taunted with a chilling laugh.

Clenching his teeth so hard they chattered, Master Wang’s entire body shook violently, and he roared, “You are wasting your opportunity; the Ancient Demon Dragon might only help you this one time.

After that, you will have no protection.”

His voice was low, audible only to Sikong Jing.

“It doesn’t matter.

I just enjoy having Master Wang as my shield,” Sikong Jing shrugged nonchalantly.

Clinging desperately to his chest, Master Wang very nearly sprayed a mouthful of blood in reversal.

Yet he didn’t dare to gamble with his life.

In the end, he threw down a Token and a large amount of Light Crystals before vanishing without a trace.

As for Sikong Jing, he merely smiled slightly, picking up Master Wang’s Master Token and Light Crystals.

He then composedly gathered up the Student Tokens of the fallen Xingluo Palace students, and of course, their storage rings…

The entire crowd seemed as if they had been struck by a Petrification Technique, feeling an overwhelming sense of absurdity.

Could it be that Master Wang was truly as timid as a turtle?

Or perhaps, did Sikong Jing have some sort of leverage over him?

When Sikong Jing finished cleaning up and returned, he lightly addressed the surrounding onlookers, “I’m sorry to disappoint you.

I’ve always been at odds with the Long Night Star Palace, and you don’t need to report anything else in the future—just hearing my name will suffice.”

With that, he waved his hand dismissively at all the Black-armored Soldiers and started walking back toward the direction of the Long Night Black Burning Army.

Along the way, Elder Wei said, “Brother Sikong, I never expected you to have such a… side to you.”

“Shameless, is it?” Sikong Jing knew Elder Wei was reluctant to use these words to describe him.

He then gave a wry smile, “I am currently in dire need of money and points, so I have to resort to any means necessary.”

Light Crystals could be used to purchase the blood of Multi-bone Beasts, while a Xingluo Palace Master’s Token could be exchanged for a large number of Holy Dragon Points.

All these were very important to Sikong Jing at present.

He then counted the Light Crystals, and together with the belongings of Master Wang and the twenty-odd Xingluo students, it still amounted to less than five thousand Ming King Crystals, far from the one hundred thousand he needed.

With only three days left, it seemed nearly impossible for him to gather one hundred thousand.

After returning to the 99th Town, Sikong Jing didn’t linger for long.

After dining at home with Su Yuexi and the others, he immediately set off for the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace to borrow money.

At the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace, Sikong Jing found Master Wen Hu.

After understanding Sikong Jing’s request, Wen Hu widened his eyes in a bitter smile, “One hundred thousand Ming King Crystals, well…

it’s not that I don’t want to lend them to you, but I don’t have that much.”

Master Wen Hu then helplessly explained that he could at most come up with only one thousand Ming King Crystals.

Sikong Jing felt somewhat stunned; was he really that poor?

Wen Hu continued with a resigned smile, “I wasn’t born into a great family.

I worked my way up through hardships.

A Martial Artist always needs Ming King Crystals for cultivation, and our Martial Arts path is much harder compared to those from great families.”

On this point, Sikong Jing completely agreed.

Innate treasures like the Golden Soul Palace require a staggering amount of Ming King Crystals to burn.
