Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Taking a Small Advantage_1

What’s even scarier is that the Ghost Firefly is also incredibly fast.

Its body is composed entirely of special Ghost Fire, impervious to swords and resistance to water, and only special water attribute True Essence or ice attribute Martial Skills can kill it.

Ling Xiao could do it, but he didn’t plan to at all.

If the Ghost Firefly could help him kill the Cold-faced Martial Artist following him, he would naturally be very happy to make way for it.

”Ahh—!”

Behind him, a scream resounded.

Ling Xiao secretly snickered.

Glancing back, one of the Cold-faced Martial Artist’s eyes had already been burned through by the Ghost Firefly.

But after all, this guy was a Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer martial artist and, at a critical moment, managed to stab the Ghost Firefly with a sword, using the chilling cold of ice attribute True Essence.

The Ghost Firefly froze into ice and immediately fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

However, the Cold-faced Martial Artist had also lost an eye.

The Linglong Fairy could help the Cold-faced Martial Artist stop the bleeding, but she could not make the lost eye grow back.

”You bastard, I’m going to kill you!”

The Cold-faced Martial Artist, having lost an eye, was furious and drew his sword to attack Ling Xiao, but was stopped by the Linglong Fairy.

”Right now we are in a partnership, killing him means your eye was lost in vain.”

Of course, that was just for show, she actually whispered to the Cold-faced Martial Artist—

”You’ll get your chance to deal with that kid later, kill him however you want, but for now, just bear with it.”

Upon hearing this, the Cold-faced Martial Artist managed to suppress his anger a bit.

Then everyone continued walking further inside.

However, from that point on, the Cold-faced Martial Artist no longer dared to point his sword at Ling Xiao’s back, in case something else jumped out; after all, the treacherous kid wouldn’t warn him.

The entrance to the cave was quite wide, allowing three people to walk side by side without any issue, the cave was pitch black, but there was a strange glow flickering in and out of sight.

Those who often seek treasures understand that such glow usually indicates the presence of treasures.

Everyone was somewhat excited, but still restrained their curiosity and didn’t dash forward, still letting Ling Xiao lead the way.

As he passed the entrance, Ling Xiao noticed many marks from swords and blades on the cave walls, and if he wasn’t mistaken, these should be the traces left after a battle.

Presumably, the ancient martial artist who owned this place also fought fiercely here and successfully defended his cave dwelling but succumbed to his severe injuries and passed away.

Of course, this was just his speculation, whether it was correct or not would only be revealed after venturing further inside.

Ling Xiao was extremely cautious.

Walking in the vanguard, any danger would certainly target him first; a moment’s carelessness could cost him his life.

Within the silent and deep cave, the only sounds heard were the faint footsteps of five people and the noise that seemed like water dripping, the air was permeated with the smell of damp earth and even some putrid odors.

All five were silent, probably due to tension, as anything could happen in such an environment.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao halted his steps and the Linglong Fairy, who was walking closely behind him, moving too quickly to stop, bumped directly into his back.

Her warm and soft body pressed against Ling Xiao’s skin.

However, at this moment, Ling Xiao had no wandering thoughts.

Because he was well aware that this woman, who looked like a heavenly fairy and seemingly understanding and kind on the surface, was actually arrogant, self-absorbed, and had the heart of a viper.

”Slap!”

The Linglong Fairy swung her hand at Ling Xiao’s face.

But Ling Xiao dodged in time, her slap landing on the cave wall instead, hitting the rock so hard that it left a handprint three inches deep.

It was evident how vicious the Linglong Fairy was, had the blow landed on a human face, it could have smashed the head to pieces.

”You little pervert, why did you suddenly stop?”

Linglong Fairy demanded sharply.

”Fairy, there’s a Dragon-breaking Stone blocking our way ahead, and the stone is covered with inscriptions that have clearly been strengthened by a magic array. Only a martial artist of the Cave Heaven Realm can break it open.”

Ling Xiao explained.

When everyone looked carefully, they indeed saw a huge stone lying ahead, inscribed with many symbols that flickered with a faint golden light in the darkness.

”There must be the place where the ancient warrior passed away in meditation. He probably set this Dragon-breaking Stone to prevent someone from attacking him while he was healing. But in the end, he still died of severe injuries.”

The cold-faced martial artist analyzed.

”That’s right, the lad surnamed Ling, hurry up and open the Dragon-breaking Stone.”

Perhaps because she was about to see the treasure she had been searching for a long time, Linglong Fairy had lost the patience to play any pretend games with Ling Xiao, and her attitude had become forceful.

”I can open it, but first, make him kneel and apologize to me.”

Ling Xiao said lightly, looking at Linglong Fairy.

The one he was pointing at was the cold-faced martial artist.

”You brat are courting death!”

The cold-faced martial artist snapped.

”Yeah, since I’m going to die either way when opening this Dragon-breaking Stone, I might as well die with some dignity. You kneel and apologize, and you too, Linglong Fairy. Kneel down, kowtow to admit your wrong, and call me ’Grandpa Ling’ three times. Then I’ll help you open the Dragon-breaking Stone.”

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

”Cold-face, kneel down!”

Linglong Fairy, though quivering with rage, actually knelt down on the ground and even commanded the cold-faced martial artist beside her.

This woman was something else.

She could endure what others couldn’t, and if she were allowed to live, she would definitely pose a great threat to Ling Xiao.

It seemed that after this matter was settled, he would have to take her out first.

”Grandpa Ling! Grandpa Ling! Grandpa Ling! We were wrong; we shouldn’t have threatened you!”

Including those two martial artists at the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer, all four knelt and called Ling Xiao ’Grandpa’ three times, then apologized.

Only then did Ling Xiao start tinkering with the Dragon-breaking Stone.

The stone made use of an intricate design with both mechanisms and magic arrays, making it quite difficult to open.

But this was true only for ordinary people; the challenge wasn’t so great for Ling Xiao.

Mountain and River Martial Soul began to operate, and his eyes flickered with various inscriptions constantly.

About twenty breaths later, there came a ’clicking’ sound, and the Dragon-breaking Stone started to slowly rise.

As they watched the slowly rising Dragon-breaking Stone, Linglong Fairy and the cold-faced martial artist exchanged glances, both seeing the anger and murderous intent in each other’s eyes.

This man surnamed Ling, they had to kill him!

But for now, they had to endure.

”You two stay here.”

Linglong Fairy said to those two martial artists at the Pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm Four-level, ”To prevent any ferocious beasts from running in.”

While it was said to be against ferocious beasts, even a fool would know that it was to stop Ling Xiao from escaping.

Having just been humiliated to such an extent, they would not rest until they tore Ling Xiao to shreds and cut him into thousands of pieces.

Behind the Dragon-breaking Stone, there emitted a soft glow. This place also had a Light-absorbing Array similar to the one Ling Xiao had destroyed earlier in the pharmacy.

So the inside was quite bright.
