Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: A Soul-Stirring Sword_1

”Leave? Does the old man need to leave? You ungrateful thing.”

Chief Tu suddenly glared at the Green Valley Young Master and said, ”You there, boy, wait your turn. Once I’ve killed this waste from the Moon Hua Sect, I’ll slaughter your Green Valley next and see if you can still talk!”

”Young Master, there’s no need to be afraid, this surnamed Tu is certainly going to die today! There’s also no need for Skull Village to exist anymore!”

Ling Xiao’s voice wasn’t as ferocious, but what he said was definitive, exuding tremendous confidence.

”Thank you, Master Ling!”

Even though the Green Valley Young Master couldn’t tell who was stronger or weaker, Ling Xiao had saved them. In their eyes, Ling Xiao’s status was comparable to that of deities.

”Kid, is this your first time leaving the Sect to carry out a mission?”

Chief Tu suddenly lost his fiery anger and became extremely calm, but the killing intent in his eyes was hardly concealable.

”So what if it is?”

Ling Xiao responded indifferently.

”That explains it!”

Chief Tu sneered, ”In the Sect, if you make a mistake, you have your masters and brothers to protect you. But outside, a mistake can cost lives!”

”I understand that all too well. Two disciples from the Beast King Palace made a mistake, and they died for it. I grasped this principle even before I had joined the Sect.”

”Hahaha, since you understand this principle, then you should know that outside, might is everything!”

Chief Tu laughed heartily.

”So you mean that when the disciples of the Beast King Palace put a seal on my manor, it was because they thought they were stronger than me, so they could take my credit?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Exactly! The rules outside aren’t as complex as they are inside the Sect. There has always been only one rule, and that is strength!”

Chief Tu nodded, ”Only those with formidable power have the right to set the rules! Your strength exceeds that of those two wastes from the Beast King Palace. Killing them and taking back what rightfully belongs to you, that’s the rule! And my strength surpasses yours, so killing you and taking your credit, that too, is the rule!”

”I see, the outside world seems simpler than I had imagined.”

Ling Xiao stopped the idle talk, raised his hand, and the Ice Dragon Sword appeared in his grasp.

”Turns out it’s a Precious Treasure Artifact-level treasured sword. You two listen, this treasure now belongs to me!”

Upon seeing Ling Xiao’s Ice Dragon Sword, Chief Tu’s greed flared up again.

However, this was perhaps his last instance of greed before his death.

For at the moment he turned his head back around, a cold streak of Sword Qi had already pierced his throat.

It was as though it had been precisely timed, for as his head turned back, the Sword Qi arrived just as expected.

This sword strike was astonishingly fast!

This sword strike was bitterly cold!

This sword strike was a life-taking one!

Its name was ”Flying Snow,” the fastest sword strike from Ling Xiao!

Chief Tu’s face still bore a greedy smile, with no time for his expression to change.

Yet his life force was rapidly fading away.

He heard the young man opposite him seem to say something.

”This rule, I like it!”

After that, everything else had nothing to do with him, because he was already dead, utterly devoid of life!

Chief Tu, the ruthless debtor of Skull Village who reigned supremely for decades, was slain by such a young man with a single sword strike.

The entire place fell terrifyingly silent.

Including Master Lin and City Lord Bai, no one saw how Ling Xiao’s sword strike was delivered.

It was as if the Sword of Death had suddenly bloomed in that instant, without the slightest whiff of aura.

”What terrifying strength!”

The onlookers watched as Ling Xiao casually drew a longsword and then, just as casually, delivered a thrust.

A demon head who had ruled the Skull Village for decades now lay on the ground, thoroughly severed from this world.

Naturally, they knew the terror of that sword strike.

It was a pity that their cultivation level was not high enough, and their eyes were not sharp enough, so they couldn’t perceive the fleeting brilliance of that sword strike.

They were glad for their self-awareness, for not having joined She Mei in opposing Ling Xiao just now.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Chief Tu lying there, but themselves.

Master Lin and City Lord Bai were already kneeling on the ground.

Their bodies were trembling like leaves in the autumn wind, non-stop.

They were the two highest in cultivation level present, though they also couldn’t completely comprehend the mystery of Ling Xiao’s sword strike.

But they could feel the terror of that sword.

They knew very well that under that sword, they had not the slightest chance of survival.

So much so that they hadn’t even entertained thoughts of fleeing. Escaping in front of this young man was simply impossible.

People are always afraid of the powerful.

Especially when the other party is so strong that you can’t even muster a thought of resistance, then you really can only beg for mercy.

Resist?

That would only make you die faster, and more miserably.

”What are you kneeling there for? Stand up, take up your weapons. Weren’t you going to kill me? Now you can make your move, whether one at a time or two together.”

Ling Xiao looked down contemptuously at the two overlords kneeling on the ground. These figures, who once dominated the secular world, now seemed so insignificant and ugly.

Just kneeling before him, unable to evoke the slightest respect.

”Master Ling, it was our lack of insight, our failure to recognize greatness. Please, spare our lives, and we will go through fire and water for you henceforth, without hesitation!”

Master Lin said hastily.

”I mean the same.”

City Lord Bai also quickly said.

”Heh heh.”

Ling Xiao’s face showed a mocking sneer, disdainfully saying, ”If I’m not mistaken, you two were just competing with this dead dog to kill me, right? A man’s word is his bond, the once rulers of their domains. How can you not admit to your actions? Wouldn’t that be making a laughingstock of yourselves?”

Hearing Ling Xiao’s words, Master Lin and City Lord Bai trembled even more intensely.

Ling Xiao was right; indeed, they hadn’t taken him seriously a moment ago, and even vied to be the first to deal a death blow to him over the lust for She Mei.

Kneeling here now, this really wasn’t the behavior of true men.

But what if it wasn’t? Even if they lost all face today, as long as they could save their lives, they would be willing to do anything.

”Master Ling, we were both blind, as if cursed by a dog’s eyes, as long as you’re willing to spare our lives, we’ll do anything.”

Master Lin clenched his teeth, thoroughly admitting defeat today – for the sake of survival, losing face was nothing.

”Exactly, Master Ling, please just command us.”

City Lord Bai’s attitude was the same.

Ling Xiao did not pay any attention to the two of them but turned to ask the Green Valley Young Master, ”What kind of people are these two?”

”I’ve never heard of them committing any major atrocities.”

The Green Valley Young Master replied.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, it seemed these two were not quite like Chief Tu of the Skull Village. Perhaps it was She Mei, that enchantress, who had bewitched them, prompting them to commit today’s foolish act.

If that was the case, perhaps it was possible to spare these two a dog’s life.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at them and said, ”You want to live? That can be arranged. Kill that woman, and then go extinguish the Skull Village!”
