Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 338: Chapter 338: The Peril of Annihilation_1

Ling Xiao temporarily refrained from lending a hand because he could not possibly stay in the Divine Sword Sect forever.

There are some issues that the Divine Sword Sect must resolve on its own.

Of course, if there were any danger, he would definitely take action.

”Ling Xiaotian, you’re old. Despite your years of cultivation, you’ve only reached the Eighth Layer Martial Vein Peak. You’re not even as good as your own disciples. Why bother struggling so hard? It would be better to simply change the name of your sect and retire.”

Wan Ben, with his hands behind his back, coldly said to Ling Xiaotian, adopting a tone that was entirely condescending.

”The name ’Divine Sword Sect’ was decided upon by a few former Elder Supremes and the sect leader after careful deliberation; it’s not something you can change just because you say so...”

Ling Xiaotian, who obviously did not want to resort to violence, spoke in a more conciliatory tone, ”If Governor Wan Ben can provide a convincing reason, we will naturally contact Ling Xiao, the Elder Supreme currently cultivating at the Moon Hua Sect. Even a name change is not out of the question.”

”Hmph, if I say you should change it, then change it. Why all this useless talk? Do you really want to offend the Sword King Sect?”

Wan Ben snorted coldly: ”The name of your sect has transgressed the taboo of the Sword King Sect, and it must be changed! As for that Ling Xiao, hmph, he has offended the Demonflame Celestial of the Moon Hua Sect. Do you think he still has a chance of coming back alive? Ridiculous!”

”Isn’t that rather overbearing?”

Ling Yihang said angrily.

”What of it if I’m overbearing? Less talk, more action. If you refuse to change the sect’s name, then as Governor, I will personally see to it that the Divine Sword Sect is completely eradicated! There is no need for such a sect to exist in this world!”

Wan Ben said disdainfully.

”Governor, there’s no need for further talk with them. We have a numerical advantage and the support of Sword King Sect’s experts. Eradicating the Divine Sword Sect will be as easy as flipping one’s hand. This group has repeatedly aided that scoundrel Lin Ze, and they cannot be left unchecked.”

Lu Xing, standing beside Wan Ben, spoke: ”Now that Lin Ze has taken his men to eliminate the bandit threat, and Master Baiyun has been severely wounded by an expert of the Sword King Sect, they stand no chance. We cannot wait for Lin Ze to realize and react; by then, our losses may be significant.”

”He’s right!”

Among the crowd behind Wan Ben stood several brightly-dressed Transcendent Realm Martial Artists.

Although these individuals were only at the first layer of the Transcendent Realm, in the secular world, they could truly be considered top-notch masters.

One of them said to Wan Ben, ”Wan Ben, go ahead with confidence. With the Sword King Sect backing you up, what is there to fear? Besides, don’t you want the Gold-rare Level Martial Arts we promised you?”

This person was dressed in a green robe embroidered with the insignia of the Sword King Sect.

In fact, Ling Xiao’s impression of the Sword King Sect was rather positive; during the battle in Yunkong City, it had been disciples from the Sword King Sect who appeared and scared off the disciples of the Beast King Palace, saving Master Baiyun’s life.

Yet this time, the Sword King Sect, over a mere issue of a sect name, intended to completely obliterate the Divine Sword Sect.

Ling Xiao’s brow furrowed.

He was well aware that within the same sect, there truly were many different people.

For instance, the Moon Hua Sect harbored individuals like Demonflame Celestial as well as those like Guanghan Celestial Venerate.

However, this kind of situation was likely ordered by the high ranks of the Sword King Sect.

The thought of sending people to wipe out a sect because its name was unpleasant was akin to disposing of annoying trash.

This was the ruthless and cold indifference of the powerful.

”Rest assured, the Divine Sword Sect is merely an insignificant sect that doesn’t even rank among the top; we can easily annihilate them without you lifting a finger!”

Wan Ben’s face bore a cold expression, and then he raised his right hand and swung it down: ”Take action!”

No matter how he considered it, he had no fear of the Divine Sword Sect.

In his opinion, Ling Xiao had only gone to the Moon Hua Sect for two months. Even with extraordinary talent and risking life and limb, he would at best have just advanced to the first layer of the Transcendent Realm.

Such a Ling Xiao did not intimidate him in the least. Hadn’t Master Baiyun been severely injured just the same?

Bringing in another Transcendent Realm first layer master would merely mean exerting a bit more effort.

On his side, there were as many as ten Transcendent Realm first layer masters, and all of them were proficient in either beginner level or rare Gold-rare Level Martial Arts!

How could he possibly fear Ling Xiao?

At his command, tens of thousands of troops in Yunkong City drew their powerful bows and crossbows, unleashing arrows tinged with sin!

Of course, to him, this was perhaps nothing new, since he had done such things more than once before.

In that instant, the arrows in the sky covered the Divine Sword Sect like a swarm of locusts.

”Find cover! Raise your shields!”

Ling Wuheng ordered the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect calmly.

At the same time, he, Ling Yihang, Ling Xiaotian, and others also held up massive shields, completely protecting themselves behind them.

They certainly didn’t have Ling Xiao’s terrifying defense and had to rely on these shields to withstand the arrows, or else they would be turned into pincushions in an instant.

Crack crack pop pop!

Ding ding dang dang!

The arrows struck the walls and shields, making urgent clattering noises.

Many dents appeared on the shields, and the walls were pitted with holes.

”Die, old man Ling Xiaotian!”

Capturing the king first in capturing thieves, Wan Ben naturally understood this principle.

Although Ling Xiaotian was not the strongest in the Divine Sword Sect, he was the backbone of the sect. Killing him would end everything.

Wan Ben took out a strong bow from his Storage Ring, then nocked two Feather Arrows and, channeling his True Essence, shot them forth.

The two Feather Arrows flickered with pale blue electricity in mid-air, their speed as fast as lightning.

Boom boom!

The two Feather Arrows pierced through the iron shield in Ling Xiaotian’s hands one after the other, and a strong current of electricity struck Ling Xiaotian’s body.

The shock sent the old man’s body flying backward, and a trail of blood floated in the air.

Several Elders Supreme of the Divine Sword Sect, seeing this, quickly stepped forward to block the two Feather Arrows for Ling Xiaotian.

Even so, they were still knocked back several steps by the impact.

Wan Ben, self-proclaimed as the foremost under the Transcendent Realm, seemed to hold a title in Baiyun Province that was not entirely undeserved.

”Whale Swallows the Corpse!”

”Shui Sword Shadow!”

Fei Yu and Fei Liu, standing beside Wan Ben, suddenly made their move.

One of them swung a long spear, and the shadow of a huge whale formed behind him, the long spear turning into a whale as if shooting through the air towards Ling Xiaotian.

The other flicked his sword and a stream of water shot out, forming a giant Shui Sword Shadow.

Both of their targets were Ling Xiaotian.

This was clearly an attempt to send Ling Xiaotian to his death.

Their attacks were too sudden, and both were stronger than Ling Xiaotian, making it impossible for the Elders Supreme of the Divine Sword Sect to block them.

Just as Ling Xiaotian was about to die under the joint attack of these two, a sudden fierce shout rang out.

”Whoever kills a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect shall die!”

Ling Xiao finally made his move.

He couldn’t just watch Ling Xiaotian be killed.

This old man had been kind to him.

His figure transformed into a blur as he rushed over, a distance of dozens of meters as if it were merely an arm’s length away.

Countless arrows that fell around him were deflected away, instead killing the soldiers of Yunkong City.

No matter how hard the arrows were, they were meaningless upon hitting him.
