Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 796: Chapter 796 Who Can Stop?_1

Even when Jian Wuji tried to seriously injure Lan Yu’er, Ling Xiao had only intended to take one of Jian Wuji’s arms as revenge.

However, his strength proved too overwhelming, resulting in the current situation.

The rules of the martial arts finals only specify that killing an opponent is not allowed; they say nothing about not seriously injuring an opponent.

Therefore, he had not broken any rules.

”Why! Why! How could I possibly fail to parry even a single sword strike from this worthless kid, how can he be so strong!”

Jian Wuji seemed not to be listening to Ling Xiao, his mind filled with confusion.

He did not understand.

He truly could not comprehend.

Originally, Ling Xiao was nothing more than a trivial figure he could kill at any moment in his eyes.

During the three sects’ competition, he did not even deign to cross hands with Ling Xiao.

But now, he couldn’t even handle a single sword strike from him.

The immense contrast between then and now filled his heart with unbearable pain, even more terrifying than the physical torment.

He finally understood why even the Holy Son was deeply wary of Ling Xiao.

This man, he must not be left alive. When you think he is insignificant and not worth mentioning, and you don’t kill him,

Before long, you will find that you’ve suddenly become that pitiful ant.

”Did you never take your previous battles seriously?”

Jian Wuji shouted.

”You could say that,”

Ling Xiao nodded. At this point, there was no need to lie. There were plenty of others like him, conserving their strength. Basically, any martial artist who had the potential to make it into the top ten would reserve their strength. It just varied how much of it they retained.

He knew exactly how Jian Wuji felt at the moment—utter despair and fear.

To be honest, he had complete disdain for such a sentiment.

If he were in Jian Wuji’s place, as long as he wasn’t dead, there would still be a chance for revenge; he would never give up.

That was the difference in personality between individuals.

The judges of the second group were collectively dumbstruck, and so was the head judge.

They indeed had some expectations of Ling Xiao, as he was a dark horse.

As judges, they liked to see a dark horse stir things up; otherwise, the competition would be rather dull.

However, in their opinion, Ling Xiao making it into the Twenty Heavenly Prides should have been no problem. Making it into the top ten would have been much more difficult, and going any higher was nearly impossible.

They did not believe that Ling Xiao was on a level to compete with the young titans in the top ten, not to mention instantly killing one of the Sixth Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty, Jian Wuji.

They even began to wonder if they were hallucinating.

Was it possible that a terrifyingly powerful heretic had deliberately created this scenario?

The judge from the original tenth group took a sharp breath and said to the judges of the original first group, ”We have completely misjudged him. How could this kid be so incredibly strong!”

”Indeed, to defeat one of the Six Young Masters, Jian Wuji, with a single sword strike is something that probably only a few among the Six Young Masters themselves could manage, right?”

”Head Judge, do you think this is his full strength?”

Perhaps feeling that his own judgment was terribly off, the judge from the original tenth group turned to the head judge and asked.

”Maybe there’s still hidden strength. After all, he still hadn’t drawn his sword even after defeating Jian Wuji,”

Being a powerful individual from the Yin-Yang Realm, the head judge had exceptional insight. Although he couldn’t completely see through Ling Xiao, he had a persistent feeling that Ling Xiao had more cards to play.

”This can’t be possible, can it? If he still has hidden cards, doesn’t that mean he could compare with the two strongest among the Sixth Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty?”

”Why couldn’t he? You all underestimated him from the beginning, didn’t you? From the first battle, he has always been creating miracles. In every fight, revealing a bit of his strength, yet always concealing something. Who can guarantee he isn’t hiding something this time?”

The chief referee said with a smile, ”Our Sacred Dynasty is blessed, indeed, to have such a prodigy emerge.”

”It does seem so, indeed. The upcoming matches are sure to be exciting. There are still Mo Wu Shang and Liu Taiyin, two of the ’Six Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty’ in the second group. I wonder if he will defeat them all?”

All the referees started to feel an inexplicable sense of anticipation towards Ling Xiao.

If the referees were so astonished, let alone the ordinary spectators.

Not a single martial artist present at the scene, who was paying attention to this fight, was not surprised and out of sorts.

One of the Sixth Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty, Jian Wuji, was unable to withstand even a single move from Ling Xiao, which was simply beyond everyone’s imagination.

If the one who defeated Jian Wuji was Mo Wu Shang, Liu Taiyin, or even Qin Bi Xue, they wouldn’t be too surprised.

After all, Mo Wu Shang and Liu Taiyin are both among the Six Young Masters.

And Qin Bi Xue is one of the strongest among the new generation.

But what about Ling Xiao? He is just a newcomer in the Martial Arts festival, and moreover, a disciple of the Moon Hua Sect, the least influential of the Twelve Sects.

His performance wasn’t even as impressive as Joshua Long from the Divine Sword Sect.

Yet such a newcomer defeated Jian Wuji so effortlessly. How could they not be astonished? How could they not be in disbelief?

In their eyes, Ling Xiao’s consecutive victories were nothing special since the opponents he met weren’t very strong.

Ling Xiao easily forcing Po Qian Jun to concede was also acceptable.

Even defeating Liang Xiao after the Soul Combining Technique was still within an acceptable range.

However, this time, it was simply too much for anyone to accept.

Who was Ling Xiao’s opponent?

One of the most outstanding six young people on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, defeated by just one strike?

”Damn, I’d bet Ling Xiao definitely has the qualifications to compete for a seat among the Sixth Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty!”

”Damn, isn’t that obvious? He has already defeated Jian Wuji. Whoever says he isn’t qualified to compete for a seat among the Sixth Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty must be out of their mind.”

”This guy really is low-key, huh? Didn’t seem that strong before. With this battle, he’s become an overnight sensation. He’s fully burst onto the scene.”

”This is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, holy smokes, he’s hidden deep enough!”

”Before, when I heard this kid wanted to challenge the Holy Son, I took it as a joke. But now, it doesn’t seem like a joke at all.”

”Exactly, after this battle, I’m afraid no one will underestimate him anymore.”

Next to the Martial Arts Platform, Po Qian Jun showed a look of admiration on his face.

In fact, from the moment he lost to Ling Xiao, he had understood that Ling Xiao was far too strong for him.

It’s just that no one believed what he said, thinking he was making excuses, trying to rationalize his own defeat.

But now, Ling Xiao’s defeat of Jian Wuji has proven his point with an ironclad fact.

He turned back and said with a cold smirk to the acting head of Dragon Sky Academy, ”Keep boasting. Why don’t you continue boasting? Wasn’t Jian Wuji supposed to be able to defeat Ling Xiao? What did you say just now, and what’s the situation now?”

The acting head of Dragon Sky Academy was completely stunned. Ling Xiao’s strike just now had even made him sense danger.

He was a Heavenly Realm Martial artist, albeit only of the First Line Heaven Realm.

But this was still too outrageous.

”In the second group, who else can stop this Ling Xiao? Mo Wu Shang or Liu Taiyin? It seems like nobody else qualifies now.”
