Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 618: Chapter 618 The Real ”Trash Talker”_1

”With just you, it’s hardly a challenge. Wait until Ming Tian arrives, all four of you can come at me together. Perhaps then you might last a little longer!”

Ling Xiao looked at Yue Ren with disdain.

He barely had any impression of this person in his mind and really didn’t understand why the guy harbored such deep hatred toward him.

His cultivation level wasn’t too shabby, but it was far from comparable to his own.

”Arrogant!”

”Boastful nonsense!”

Bai Feifei and Tantai Lingzi were almost simultaneously enraged.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly; he actually did plan to take on all four—it would be really too boring otherwise to fight them one by one.

In the entire Moon Hua Sect, apart from Ren Xing Tian, who had just advanced to the Heavenly Man Realm, there was simply no other disciple who could possibly be his match.

Including his Senior Sister Lan Yu’er.

He didn’t know to what extent Tantai Lingzi’s strength had reached by now, but he believed that his own rate of improvement was definitely faster than hers.

If he had received so many benefits and still let Tantai Lingzi widen the gap even further, then he might as well just bash his head against a block of tofu.

However, he felt that they probably wouldn’t gang up four against one, as that would be beneath them.

Additionally, the Core Disciples ranking battles wouldn’t allow such behavior; that was the rule, and he did not plan to break it—after all, now that Wu Xiang was Sect Master, he still had to follow some rules.

”Since that’s the case, then you—what’s your name, Yue Ren, right? Come on then, take the stage if you’re not afraid of making a fool of yourself.”

Ling Xiao had no intention of directly challenging Tantai Lingzi. He wanted to defeat each of these people one by one on the Martial Arts Platform to clear his own name.

Beating these people until they completely lost faith would be ideal.

Against enemies, one should indeed be a bit more ruthless.

”Yue Ren, be cautious. This kid might use some underhanded techniques. Try to delay as much as possible to create an opportunity for us to observe him!”

Bai Feifei reminded.

Although Yue Ren felt annoyed, he still nodded and said, ”Understood, Senior Sister Bai.”

However, deep down he was thinking: Senior Sister Bai, you don’t need to worry about this. Ling Xiao doesn’t seem that strong—just an early stage Transcendent Realm Eighthfold cultivator. His cultivation isn’t even as high as mine, how could I possibly lose to him?

At this moment, Ling Xiao was using the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Eighthfold as a disguise.

Otherwise, he was afraid that they would be too scared to even make a move against him.

On the Martial Arts Platform, Ling Xiao and Yue Ren stood opposite each other, their eyes locked.

In the Inner Gate Square, the crowd continued to grow.

Yue Ren’s heart was a complex mixture of emotions, filled with anger.

Back when Ling Xiao had first advanced to the Inner Sect as an Outer Disciple for trial, Yue Ren didn’t even care to spare him a second glance.

It had not been long since then, and now this brat dared to treat him with such disregard.

With his strong pride, Yue Ren found it hard to calm his feelings.

Truth be told, Yue Ren had actually never crossed hands with Ling Xiao before. All he knew of Ling Xiao’s prowess came from hearsay.

Seeing is believing, but hearing is uncertain.

Yue Ren truly didn’t believe that Ling Xiao could surpass him in such a short amount of time.

He was determined to show everyone that he, Yue Ren, was not just a background character to be trifled with; he was the protagonist of this martial contest!

”If you don’t make a move soon, you’ll lose the chance!”

Ling Xiao looked at Yue Ren, a trace of a smile on his face.

He had no deep grudge with this Yue Ren, so he didn’t plan to hit too hard—hoping to leave some dignity for the other side.

Unexpectedly, Yue Ren didn’t appreciate this leniency.

”Audacious scoundrel, only good for spouting lofty but empty words. I have taken Elder Jin as my master, and we stand in direct opposition!”

Yue Ren roared.

”What a pity, you knew very well that I don’t get along with Elder Jin, yet you still chose to acknowledge him as your master. It seems you’re really asking for a beating.”

Ling Xiao sighed.

”Enough talk, take this!”

Yue Ren bellowed furiously, his longsword quivering in his hand as he channeled his True Essence, unleashing a thick Sword Qi that tore through the air and struck at Ling Xiao in an instant.

On the Martial Arts Platform, the Sword Qi actually left a pitch-black mark as though it were etching the very space, and had it not been for the protective Array Formation, the platform might have been ruptured in half.

Even so, the scar was extremely evident.

”This is Senior Brother Yue Ren’s strongest move—’One Sword Eastbound’!”

”So that’s why the power of this move is so overbearing!”

”Isn’t that the truth, I have personally witnessed Senior Brother Yue Ren using this sword stroke to instantly kill a warrior in the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Eighthfold!”

Among the onlookers, numerous Inner Sect Disciples shouted in alarm.

Naturally, the weapon in Yue Ren’s hand was a Precious Treasure Artifact.

For Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, the most suitable weapons are Precious Treasure Artifacts; even Immortal-grade Treasures aren’t as effective, as they are simply unmanageable.

It must be said that Yue Ren’s integration of his Treasured Sword with his Martial Arts was perfect, creating an extremely sharp sword technique.

Behind him, one could vaguely see the phantom of a drawn blade; that must be Yue Ren’s Sword Martial Spirit.

”What use is verbal sharpness, you truly don’t deserve to be struck by my hand!”

Ling Xiao looked towards Yue Ren with a slight smile, as if he didn’t take Yue Ren’s sword strike seriously at all.

”Bullshit!”

In the middle of his roaring anger, Yue Ren’s longsword radiated even brighter light, and the horrifying Sword Qi was already bearing down on Ling Xiao.

”Roar!”

Just at that moment, Ling Xiao suddenly let out a fierce shout.

An invisible surge of energy burst forth from his mouth, not only neutralizing Yue Ren’s Sword Qi, but also hitting Yue Ren in an instant, sending him flying backwards.

This wasn’t the Roar of the Dragon, but it bore some resemblance.

It was a move Ling Xiao created himself after being inspired by the Roar of the Dragon—the Dragon’s Howl.

This technique, which could be used in human form, fused the might of the dragon with the oppressiveness of the Mountain River Will to pressure the opponent, damaging not just physically but also directly wounding the soul.

Bang!

Ahh—!

Yue Ren cried out in pain as he was blasted away, but fortunately, his strength was not weak. When he reached the edge of the Martial Arts Platform, he barely managed to steady himself with his longsword.

However, the situation at this point was rather eerie.

It was he who had attacked Ling Xiao, yet Ling Xiao remained unharmed, whereas he himself was already bleeding from seven orifices.

”How is this possible!”

”What kind of Martial Arts is this? Can battles be resolved just by talking without moving a hand?”

”This is outrageous!”

”I can’t believe my eyes!”

Not only were the majority of disciples shocked, but some Stewards and Elders were also staring in astonishment.

Ling Xiao’s attack truly was unexpected.

”Bastard, you are looking down on me!”

Yue Ren was truly enraged. Ling Xiao had managed to beat him into such a state without even lifting a finger; if Ling Xiao were to truly make a move, how miserable would he be?

”Yes, I am looking down on you!”

Ling Xiao nodded and said, ”Seeing that you have taken that shameless old man Elder Jin as your master, I don’t think you’re a good person either. I can spare your life today, but hurry off the stage before you suffer more!”

”Senior Brother Ling, please take up my cause!”

Suddenly, a female disciple cried out from below the stage, pushing through the crowd to the front.

”What’s the matter?”

Ling Xiao asked with a frown.

”This Yue Ren is a vile creature! He not only took advantage of my body by force but also threatened to kill me if I spoke out. He has always been very close with Elder Jin, and I didn’t dare to disclose this matter. Please, Senior Brother Ling, take up my cause!”

The female disciple spoke out loudly.
