58: Chapter 058: Bright Realm Ninth Layer, Such a Weakling 58: Chapter 058: Bright Realm Ninth Layer, Such a Weakling Meanwhile, the one hundred experts from the Luoshui Jade Line looked at Sikong Jing with disdain and mockery.
“Trying to suck up to Lady Luo, but you’ve just kissed the horse’s hoof instead?”
“Hehe, someone thinks they’re so great, boasting without even seeing through others’ realms.”
“I bet he’s not even a match for my modest Dark Realm first layer.”
The waves of scornful laughter made Luo Ning’s face turn unsightly.
How could there be infighting before they even started?
This was not a good sign.
In her heart, she also doubted, wondering if bringing Sikong Jing had been a mistake.
“Haha, my beauty Luo Ning, Miss Luo, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Just then, Lei Dong’s loud laughter came from the opposite side: “You’re destined to lose.
For this bet, I specially took a Primordial Truth Pill, and now I have reached the Peak of the Dark Realm.”
Having said that, he released his aura explosively, and the power of the Peak of the Dark Realm rolled over them oppressively.
In that instant, Luo Ning’s gaze became vacant, and the guards’ scornful laughter came to an abrupt halt as each one of them stared in amazement.
Incredulously, they turned their gaze towards Sikong Jing, who had actually been right.
Lei Dong had, indeed, reached the Peak of the Dark Realm.
Sikong Jing’s eyes were cold and indifferent as he spoke calmly, “Luo Ning, your Luoshui Jade Line is at least a notch weaker than the opposition.
After entering Yun Mountain, avoid unnecessary losses and try not to come into conflict with them.”
too much talking is noisy and can also easily attract the attention of demon beasts.”
At these words, Xiao Wu and the others’ faces burned with humiliation and rage.
Sikong Jing seemed to be advising for their own good, but his words were slaps to their faces, showing complete contempt for them.
At this moment, Lei Dong had already led his men to Luo Ning and Sikong Jing, pointing his sword and saying, “Luo Ning, where is the person who saved you but did not save my sister Lei Shuang?”
His voice echoed around him, sinister and venomous.
The Thunder Wing Trading House doubted the truth about Lei Shuang’s death.
Even if everything Luo Ning said was true, why did the rescuer save only Luo Ning and not Lei Shuang?
This caused everyone in the Thunder Wing Trading House to seethe with anger.
Luo Ning took a deep breath and stared at Lei Dong: “He is here, right beside me.”
In an instant, the Thunder Wing Trading House’s people glared at Sikong Jing, and an intimidating aura, led by Lei Dong, pressed down on them.
Lei Dong took a fierce step forward, questioning with venom, “Kid, why didn’t you save my sister back then?”
“Why should I save your sister?” Sikong Jing asked tilting his head.
That single phrase ignited Lei Dong’s fury, and he burst forth with True Qi, charging straight towards Sikong Jing.
“Because she’s my sister, the Young Miss of the Thunder Wing Trading House.
By not saving her, you’re picking a fight with us.”
Murderous intent, undisguised, surged from him, overwhelmingly oppressive.
Luo Ning’s face changed drastically, as she called out urgently, “Cousin, get ready to protect Young Master Sikong.”
However, as her voice fell, there was silence behind her.
Turning back, Luo Ning was nearly driven mad with frustration.
Xiao Wu and the others had, at some point, retreated a dozen steps, completely leaving Sikong Jing alone in front of Lei Dong.
Luo Ning baffled, called out: “Cousin, what are you doing?”
“Cousin, since Young Master Sikong is so powerful, he surely won’t have a problem,” Xiao Wu replied slowly.
He dearly hoped that Sikong Jing would be cut down by Lei Dong’s frenzied sword.
Sikong Jing responded with a cold laugh, too lazy to retort.
Suddenly, Lei Dong took a cold step back, looking at Luo Ning: “Don’t worry, we’ve already made a bet, so I won’t make a move now.
But I must make sure of his strength, it must be below the Human Realm.”
That was one of the rules of the bet.
As he spoke, Lei Dong took out an ancient mirror and shone it towards Sikong Jing.
This item is a Realm Identification Mirror, generally used in various major competitions for inspection, but it is ineffective against higher-level Martial Artists.
However, as long as one is not beyond the Human Realm, their realm will have nowhere to hide.
At that moment, the aura on Sikong Jing’s body began to emanate under the illumination of the Realm Identification Mirror.
Including Xiao Wu, everyone stared intently at Sikong Jing, wanting to see just how strong this expert whom Luo Ning esteemed highly was.
“Bright Mirror Ninth Layer?”
The next instant, everyone was stunned and cried out in disbelief.
Whether it was Xiao Wu or Lei Dong across from him, even the two soldiers who were watching Sikong Jing from a distance were caught off guard.
It was not because Sikong Jing was too strong, but because he was too weak.
After a moment, Lei Dong couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter, loudly saying, “Luo Ning, are you joking?”
“Bright Realm Ninth Layer, you’re telling me that he’s the one who saved you before Chou Ye arrived, and also killed many of the Fierce Beast Bandits?”
In reality, he had slaughtered the entire bandits group.
This was the supplement in Luo Ning’s heart, as well as in the hearts of the two soldiers watching Sikong Jing.
Yet with a slight twitch of her lips, Luo Ning replied, “Yes, it is Young Master Sikong.”
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t believe it either, but the fact was the fact, Sikong Jing was just that terrifying.
Twisting his mouth, Lei Dong looked at Sikong Jing with a sneer.
“Luo Ning, I’m starting to believe your words a bit, someone so weak indeed would have had a hard time saving my sister.”
“He must have been dragging you along, hiding somewhere at the time, right?”
Lei Dong believed it was possible to save Luo Ning.
But Sikong Jing having killed many from the Fierce Beast Bandits, he did not believe even half a word of it.
“Hmph, no matter what the situation was at the time, the fact that he saved you before my sister deserves death.”
As he spoke, Lei Dong’s voice turned sinister, “Kid, inside Ru Yun Mountain, I will cut off your head and take it back to pay homage to my sister.”
Sikong Jing remained silent, not wanting to waste his breath on such an insignificant person as Lei Dong.
At this time, Lei Dong turned around and motioned for the others to leave Ru Yun Town.
As far as he was concerned, how his sister Lei Shuang died no longer mattered.
Aside from Luo Ning, everyone else involved in today’s Duel of Wagers was going to die, and Luo Ning would be taken back to Thunder Wing Trading House, serving as a bargaining chip to wipe out Luoshui Jade Line.
After Lei Dong and his people left, Luo Ning also took a deep breath, preparing to signal her group to set off.
But just at that moment, Xiao Wu said, “Cousin, is it really appropriate to waste a Duel of Wagers spot on such a weakling?”
Entering the battle were a hundred people, and Sikong Jing occupying a spot indeed amounted to a waste.
And as soon as these words were spoken, all of Luoshui Jade Line laughed, casting sidelong glances at Sikong Jing.
This youngster was too good at pretending.
Just after seeing through Lei Dong’s realm, they thought he was really powerful, yet he turned out to be just Bright Realm Ninth Layer.
Among those present from the Luoshui Jade Line, not one was below the Dark Realm.
Being able to see through Lei Dong’s realm must have been informed to him by those two soldiers from Yunye City.
However, Luo Ning’s face darkened, and she coldly said, “Cousin, do not underestimate anyone, remember my warning.”
After speaking, Luo Ning bowed slightly to Sikong Jing, “Young Master Sikong, my people are all simple folk, please do not take their words to heart.
I will still be relying on you later.”
Xiao Wu’s words were too harsh, and Luo Ning genuinely feared that Sikong Jing might leave in anger.
However, Sikong Jing simply said expressionlessly, “Just make sure not to interfere with me later, let’s set off.”
To him, Xiao Wu and the others were equally insignificant, for why should a dragon engage in a war of words with ants?
Moreover, Sikong Jing was accustomed to proving himself on the battlefield.
Enemies mock, cut them down.
Those of his own who are not convinced, let them kneel in awe and worship, but should they dare to create chaos and spoil his plans, the same applies…
cut them down as well!
