Open up and break into another world

Ever since Ao Xiang sounded the sect-wide alarm, the entire Hidden Kill Sect had entered a state of lockdown.

Xu Ming, all the while holding Ao Tian hostage, passed through layers of security and finally arrived outside the Hidden Kill Sect.

Ao Xiang, along with the elders of the Hidden Kill Sect, followed not far behind.

"Let's do it here!" Ao Xiang said, "This place is already outside the coverage of the sect's protective formation. You can hand over the treasure and the person with peace of mind, right?"

Ao Xiang's face was filled with mockery, as if to say, even if we're outside the sect's protective formation, with so many experts here, are we afraid you'll run away?

Xu Ming said calmly, "Alright! Here it is!"

"How do you want to trade?"

"As I release Ao Tian, you throw all the storage rings over!" Xu Ming said.

"Alright!"

"Wait!" Xu Ming suddenly said.

"What is it now?"

"First, use this rope to string all the storage rings together! I'm afraid that when you throw the storage rings over, you'll deliberately create a 'scattering flowers' effect!" As he spoke, Xu Ming exchanged for an extremely tough rope from the God Equipment Shop and threw it over.

The treasures in the Hidden Kill Sect's treasury filled a full thirty storage rings! If Ao Xiang deliberately scattered them when throwing the rings, wouldn't it be difficult for Xu Ming to collect all thirty rings?

That wouldn't do!

You must know that these thirty storage rings were painstakingly watched by Xu Ming as Ao Xiang "packaged" them up. If even one ring was missing, Xu Ming's efforts would be worth less!

Therefore, he had to collect them all, without missing a single one!

Only then would Xu Ming's hard work of watching Ao Xiang "package" everything be worthwhile...

"Heh! You have quite a few tricks!" Ao Xiang sneered, but he still honestly did as Xu Ming said.

Hmm?

Thirty storage rings?

The group of elders beside Ao Xiang were baffled—why were there thirty storage rings?

These elders all thought that Xu Ming had just entered the treasury to randomly pick out one or two treasures, so they couldn't figure out why the Sect Master would throw thirty storage rings to Xu Ming.

"Could it be that Xu Ming wanted thirty treasures? And even specially divided them into thirty storage rings to hold them?" The elders had such thoughts.

"Thirty treasures?—Xu Ming's appetite is really big!"

"No matter how big his appetite is, he must have the life to enjoy them! Does he really think he can take these thirty treasures away alive?"

"Alright, it's strung together!" Ao Xiang tossed the strung-together storage rings.

"Then let's start the trade!" Xu Ming said, "As I push Ao Tian out, you throw the storage rings over!"

"Alright!"

"But I'll say the ugly words first, don't play any tricks when you throw them!" Xu Ming added, "If I feel like I can't catch the storage rings, then I'll be too lazy to catch them..."

As he spoke, Xu Ming glanced at Ao Tian with ill intentions, his threatening meaning was clear—if I can't catch the storage rings, I'll directly kill your son!

"Humph!" Ao Xiang snorted coldly with a dark expression, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you catch them comfortably!"

At this time, Ao Xiang was the most worried.

He was worried that Xu Ming had been holding onto the idea of breaking the pot from the start, and had no intention of letting his son go. If that was the case, then the next second would probably be the death of his son!

It was precisely because of this worry that Ao Xiang met Xu Ming's demands everywhere, for fear that he would accidentally anger Xu Ming and cause him to tear up the ticket—Xu Ming said to empty the treasury, so he packed the entire treasury into the storage rings; Xu Ming said to trade outside the Hidden Kill Sect, so he immediately cooperated and walked out of the range of the sect's protective formation with Xu Ming.

"Three! Two! One! Trade!"

When Xu Ming finished shouting the last word "trade," he suddenly withdrew the broadsword from Ao Tian's neck and gently pushed him in the back.

Ao Xiang's eyes lit up—he didn't go back on his word!

It's good that he didn't go back on his word!

If he didn't go back on his word, his precious son would be able to survive.

Immediately, Ao Xiang didn't dare to think too much and threw all thirty strung-together storage rings towards Xu Ming. Moreover, he controlled the force well when throwing them, for fear that Xu Ming would not catch them comfortably.

"I'll say you're honest!" Xu Ming flashed and caught the storage rings.

Almost at the same time, Ao Xiang also rushed over to protect his son.

"It's good that you're okay! It's good that you're okay!" Ao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone has their own weaknesses—even the most treacherous and evil people. Although Ao Xiang was arrogant and unreasonable to others, his son Ao Tian was undoubtedly his weakness.

However, immediately after, Ao Xiang's face turned cold.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

The elders didn't need Ao Xiang to order them at all; they stood in all directions, cutting off Xu Ming's escape routes. No matter which way Xu Ming wanted to escape, he would be blocked.

Ao Xiang pulled his son behind him and looked at Xu Ming with icy eyes: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Ao Tian then said repeatedly: "Father, don't let him die too easily! He dared to plot against me. I will definitely torture him until he wishes he were dead!"

"How do I want to die?" Xu Ming shook his head and sneered, "Ao Xiang, your brain as the Great Sect Master isn't very bright!—Look at me, do I look like I'm preparing to die?"

Ao Xiang snorted disdainfully: "Just now, I was afraid to act rashly because you had a hostage in your hands! As for now... Hmph, what else can you do in my hands?"

Xu Ming smiled: "Don't you think it's strange?"

"Strange about what?"

Xu Ming analyzed with a smile: "Just treat me as if I came to the Hidden Kill Sect to die. Then, do you think that when I'm about to die after humiliating you, will I pull a few people down with me? But I let your son Ao Tian go!—Don't you think this is very strange?"

"It is a bit strange!" Ao Xiang had to admit, "I really can't figure out this question!"

"If you can't figure it out, then I'll give you a hint!" Xu Ming said, "You, and even all the elders of your Hidden Kill Sect, still haven't figured out my purpose in coming to the Hidden Kill Sect!"

"Purpose?"

"What do you think I came to the Hidden Kill Sect for?—To humiliate you? Or to drag someone down to die with me?" Xu Ming smiled strangely, "Sorry, neither! From the beginning, my purpose was...your Hidden Kill Sect's treasury!"

Ao Xiang's face changed—now, the treasures of the entire treasury are in Xu Ming's hands!

"Could it be that he really has a way to escape? Impossible!"

Xu Ming continued to smile strangely: "And now, the treasures of the entire Hidden Kill Sect are already in my hands! So...I won't stay any longer! Then...goodbye!"

Goodbye?

"Want to leave?—Dream on! You stay here for me!" Ao Xiang's figure burst forth, rushing straight towards Xu Ming.

Xu Ming just kept smiling strangely.

Then, suddenly, without any warning, right in front of everyone's eyes, Xu Ming's entire person...disappeared into thin air from everyone's sight!

Yes, disappeared into thin air! Vanished without a trace!
