The dwarf island master's words had barely fallen when the two old men in the pavilion stopped their bickering and turned their cold gazes towards Xiao Yunlong.
Even the middle-aged man in white at the base of the tree stopped playing with his snake, a slight smirk on his lips as he cast a mocking glance at Xiao Yunlong.
The colorful poisonous snake coiled around his neck also flicked its forked tongue, looking at Xiao Yunlong with venomous intent.
The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became tense, carrying an almost murderous aura.
Facing the cold stares and undisguised killing intent of the five supreme masters of Geek Island, Xiao Yunlong remained composed, standing in the center of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
"If I'm not mistaken, your Excellency's original name is Sima Nantian, the deputy island master of Nine Elder Mountain in Southern Xinjiang. Over thirty years ago, you had an affair with the sect leader's wife. When the matter was exposed, in a fit of rage, you slaughtered your entire family. Afterwards, you were pursued and hunted by the entire martial arts world of Southern Xinjiang, eventually forced to jump off a cliff!"
"The people of Southern Xinjiang believed that you, a scoundrel of the martial world, had died thirty years ago. Unexpectedly, you managed to cling to life and have been hiding on Geek Island for thirty years!"
Xiao Yunlong finished speaking and looked at the dwarf old man with a similarly mocking gaze.
"Sima Nantian? Hahaha... I never thought I'd hear this name again after more than thirty years!"
The dwarf old man threw his head back and laughed heartily, his powerful aura rippling outwards invisibly, causing the eardrums of those around him to ache and the surrounding leaves to rustle and fall.
The middle-aged man in white chuckled sinisterly, "Your Excellency truly has remarkable skills to have even found out our boss's past. Then tell me, what is my background?"
Xiao Yunlong glanced at him indifferently and sneered, "Someone of your lowly caliber isn't worthy of my attention!"
The middle-aged man in white's face immediately darkened, and he grunted, "Xiao, I swear that later, I will cut your flesh off piece by piece and feed it to my pets!"
Xiao Yunlong said nothing further, no longer even bothering to look at him.
The two old men in the pavilion, one holding an iron fan and the other a vajra brush, walked forward step by step, laughing loudly, "Old Fourth, the snake charmer, isn't worthy of your attention. What about us? Are we qualified?"
"You?" Xiao Yunlong uttered just two words, then slowly shook his head.
The faces of the two old men in scholarly robes immediately darkened, and they snorted, "Good boy, I've met arrogant people in my life, but never have I seen anyone as arrogant and presumptuous as you. I'll cripple you right now!"
As the words fell, the old man holding the iron fan lightly tapped his right foot, and his entire body shot forward like a fierce tiger.
This person was indeed a martial artist who had one foot in the innate opening realm. As he lunged, his aura was unleashed, and a fierce gale swept through the entire courtyard, causing the ship captain and several other lieutenants from the Eastern Region camp to stumble backward.
Xiao Yunlong remained standing, his hands behind his back, as unmoving as a mountain.
As he flew through the air, the Third Island Master, holding the iron fan, aimed directly for Xiao Yunlong's face. His entire body's vital energy was infused into the iron fan, combined with an extremely potent acupoint striking technique. If he were to be struck, he would likely be crippled or dead.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunlong's figure flickered slightly, and he skillfully dodged the attack using the Bagua Wandering Dragon movement technique.
The Third Island Master was taken aback, likely not expecting the opponent to be able to dodge such a fierce strike. While momentarily stunned, his movements were not slow at all. Like lightning, he struck repeatedly, his vital energy erupting from his body and creating three small flowers in the air.
These three vital energy ripples, shaped like flowers, attacked Xiao Yunlong from the left, center, and right, completely blocking all possible escape routes.
"Let's see how you dodge this time..."
However, before the Third Island Master could finish speaking, Xiao Yunlong's figure had already shot out like a flying dragon.
The three vital energy waves missed and collided, exploding with a deafening roar and a terrifying momentum.
"Damn it, boy, do you only know how to evade and dare not confront me head-on?" the Third Island Master grunted angrily.
"You want a head-on confrontation? Fine, as you wish!"
Xiao Yunlong exhaled, his inner aura suddenly changing. His entire body transformed into an afterimage, charging towards the opponent.
"Good, come on!" the Third Island Master sneered, flicking his wrist. The iron fan shot out like lightning, striking Xiao Yunlong's lower abdomen.
"Hit him..."
The Third Island Master laughed triumphantly, but the next moment, his smile froze, and his face showed disbelief.
He had clearly struck, but now the target was gone. Only then did he realize that what he had struck was merely Xiao Yunlong's afterimage.
In other words, with his speed, he could only keep up with the afterimage, not the actual body.
"This is bad..."
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. The Third Island Master's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively tried to retreat.
However, it was too late. Xiao Yunlong appeared beside him out of nowhere and threw a punch.
"Aow..."
Accompanied by a scream, the Third Island Master was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he retreated.
The Second Island Master, holding the vajra brush, quickly moved to his side and helped him up.
"Damn it, this kid, his movement technique is too bizarre, I couldn't keep up!"
The Third Island Master gritted his teeth and snorted. His face was pale, clearly injured. Fortunately, he had reacted in time, channeling his vital energy to his chest, forming a vital energy shield that absorbed most of the force of the opponent's punch.
Otherwise, he would probably be lying on the ground as a corpse right now.
"This kid really has some skills. Even Old Third is no match for him. No wonder Old Six and Old Seven died by his hands!" the Second Island Master gritted his teeth and shouted.
The Great Island Master, Sima Nantian, narrowed his eyes and snorted, "All of you, attack him together!"
"Yes!" The Second Island Master, holding the vajra brush, charged forward.
At the same time, the one-eyed Fifth Island Master behind him, holding a large saber, also charged forward with a thunderous roar.
"Go, eat him for me!" The middle-aged man in white under the tree pointed at Xiao Yunlong, and the man and the snake shot out like a torrent.
The Third Island Master suppressed his turbulent inner energy, gritted his teeth, gripped his iron fan, and joined the fray.
In an instant, the four island masters of Geek Island attacked simultaneously, surrounding and besieging Xiao Yunlong.
The entire courtyard was filled with whistling winds, and powerful shockwaves of vital energy swept out, causing leaves to rustle and fall.
At this level of combat, the ship captain and the other lieutenants from the Eastern Region camp naturally could not intervene. Not only could they not help, but they couldn't even withstand the residual shockwaves, so they retreated to the doorway.
"Xiao, you will surely die today!"
"How dare you attack us, you truly court death!"
The four island masters roared, their attacks becoming increasingly fierce, along with the poisonous snake, launching a fierce assault.
"With just the likes of you, you think you can kill me? Overestimating yourselves! Today, I will show you my true abilities!"
Xiao Yunlong shouted in a deep voice. At this moment, the divine kingdoms within his body began to open one by one, and in the blink of an eye, eight had been activated.
His aura surged instantly. Xiao Yunlong stomped his foot, and the ground tiles beneath him shattered. He unleashed his vital energy and divine kingdom power, executing the Wandering Dragon Bagua Palm and striking out.
With a bang, he sent the middle-aged man in white flying!
He then used the Great Strength Vajra Finger, directly confronting the Second Island Master's vajra brush.
"Crack!"
The Vajra Finger, with its overwhelmingly dominant power, shattered the opponent's vajra brush. The Second Island Master's face changed instantly upon seeing this.
But before he could react, Xiao Yunlong kicked him away. Then, he once again turned his body like lightning and unleashed two consecutive punches.
Under these two punches, the Third Island Master and the one-eyed Fifth Island Master were sent flying backward.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the colorful poisonous snake coiled around his back, attempting to bite his neck.
With a cold snort, Xiao Yunlong reached out and grabbed the one-eyed man's large saber. His figure twisted like a ghost, and with a swift movement of his hand, the saber fell.
With a "swish," the poisonous snake was cut in half on the spot and fell to the ground.
In just one exchange, Xiao Yunlong defeated the four island masters of Geek Island. The entire courtyard suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Including the Great Island Master Sima Nantian, the faces of the island masters showed displeasure.
"Good, good, young man named Xiao, your strength has truly exceeded my expectations!"
Sima Nantian's face was grim, his eyes as fierce and venomous as the poisonous snake that had just been slain.
"Xiao, this island master now commands you to immediately kneel and break your own arm, do you hear me!" Sima Nantian stood under the eaves, pointing directly at Xiao Yunlong and shouting coldly. Although he was a dwarf, his aura was extraordinary.
"Command me? On what basis do you command me?" Xiao Yunlong sneered mockingly and walked towards him step by step.
Sima Zhantian stood there with his hands behind his back, a cold smile slowly forming on his lips. He shouted, "On the basis that I have dozens of hostages in my hands. Xiao, for every step you take forward, I will kill one hostage!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunlong suddenly stopped. Indeed, he did not advance further.
Sima Nantian smiled, threw his head back, and laughed heartily, his laughter filled with mockery and ridicule.
"What, are you scared? It's right to be scared. Now immediately kneel down, take that saber from earlier, and cut off your own right arm!" Sima Nantian shouted coldly.
"What if I say no?" Xiao Yunlong asked calmly.
"Say no? Then kill. Those hostages, kill them one by one, until you kneel before me!" Sima Nantian said sternly.
"Is that so? Then I'd like to see how you kill them one by one. Come, show me!"
Xiao Yunlong curled his lips, a mocking expression also appearing on his face.
