Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 827: Chapter 827: Battle with Bai Qianjiao

”Mo Wu Shang, aren’t you going to admit defeat?”

Ling Xiao looked towards Mo Wu Shang and asked coldly.

”There’s only Mo Wu Shang who dies standing, not Mo Wu Shang who admits defeat!”

”Scram!”

Ling Xiao didn’t bother exchanging words with Mo Wu Shang, and with a kick to Mo Wu Shang’s face, sent the enormous body flying out of the Martial Arts Platform.

This scene left many people dumbfounded.

After all, standing before Mo Wu Shang, he actually looked as delicate as a baby.

Just imagine a scene where a baby kicks an adult flying; indeed, it’s quite bizarre.

Mo Wu Shang fell outside the Martial Arts Platform, and the chief judge had no choice but to declare Ling Xiao the victor.

And at the same moment, Ling Xiao absorbed the fortunes of Mo Wu Shang, and the ninth cauldron began to condense, already second only to Ji Mingkong, surpassing Bai Qianjiao.

The grandstands were silent in that instant.

They had thought this would be a battle of evenly matched opponents, or even one where Mo Wu Shang completely had the upper hand.

But in the end, it turned into Ling Xiao’s performance.

In front of him, Mo Wu Shang was as weak as a three-year-old child.

”This Ling Xiao is really too terrifying, I can still understand the body movement techniques later, it’s because they are fast enough, mysterious enough, but what about earlier, why didn’t the Indestructible Dark Flame attack him?”

”It seemed to be something called Celestial Phenomenon Power.”

”Twelve Golden Lotus Techniques.”

”Right, right, right, it’s the Celestial Phenomenon Power produced after cultivating the Twelve Golden Lotus Art. It’s said that after cultivating such Internal Cultivation Mind Techniques, whether it’s True Essence Power or Heavenly Origin Power, it will completely transform into Celestial Phenomenon Power, the power of which is extremely terrifying.”

”This must be the kind of ability only a deity possesses!”

”Isn’t Lotus Master a deity? The Martial Arts he created have never been successfully cultivated by humans. Most people give up actively after reaching the first or second layer, while others die tragically because of cultivating such Martial Arts.”

”But what’s with Ling Xiao? He’s a human, why didn’t he die and instead become so powerful?”

”It’s not time yet, didn’t you hear him? He has only cultivated to the fifth level. The further on you cultivate this stuff, the more dangerous it becomes because the powers of the Celestial Phenomenon conflict with each other. The more you cultivate, the higher the chances of problems occurring.”

”Alas, I thought he could surpass the Holy Son, didn’t expect it to be just a flash in the pan.”

”Stop it, as if he could surpass the Holy Son, it would be good enough if he could reach Qin Bi Xue’s level. Who knows what will happen next.”

”That’s right, maybe he will lose to Bai Qianjiao.”

After all, Ling Xiao still didn’t have much of a fan base, although his sudden rise attracted some fans, yet many more were still not optimistic about him.

Even though he had defeated Mo Wu Shang.

But ahead were Bai Qianjiao, Qin Bi Xue, and the evidently transformed Hong Li.

He might not be able to defeat any of the three.

The fourteenth round ended quickly, and after resting for a shichen, the fifteenth round began.

The closer to the end, the more concentrated the spectators’ focus became.

The matches ranked after the tenth in points had basically become break time. Many spectators even took this time to go to the bathroom.

Among the previous matches, the ones that really caught their attention were those between the Fire Demon Venerable and Hong Sanwei, as well as between Hong Li and Mo Wu Shang.

After all, the Fire Demon Venerable had already advanced his Cultivation Level to the Late Stage of the First Heaven Realm and had no trouble defeating Hong Sanwei without much effort, and his fortunes, naturally, climbed further.

The battle between Hong Li and Mo Wu Shang was exceptionally splendid.

Just like Bai Qianjiao said, at this moment, Hong Li seemed like a carp that had leaped over the Longmen Gate, completely transforming into an enhanced version of Bai Qianjiao.

And Bai Qianjiao was sufficient to contend with Mo Wu Shang.

Not to mention an enhanced version of Bai Qianjiao, and as a result, after a battle, Mo Wu Shang eventually lost to Hong Li by half a move, after two hundred moves.

This was a huge blow to Mo Wu Shang.

Losing to Ji Mingkong, losing to Qin Bi Xue, that didn’t count for much.

But losing to Ling Xiao, and then to Hong Li, was simply unbearable for him.

Even the higher-ups of the Heavenly King Sect didn’t look too good.

Following those two battles, the most anticipated match was the one between Joshua Long and Hong Sanwei.

Joshua Long, though highly favored, had only managed to defeat one of the Six Young Masters of the Sacred Dynasty so far: Liu Taiyin.

And that victory had come with great difficulty.

Despite suffering several consecutive defeats, Hong Sanwei’s actual strength was stronger than Liu Taiyin’s.

But in this match, he lost very cleanly.

Enlightened by Ling Xiao’s words, Joshua Long cleverly disguised the power of his Golden Dragon Form as the power of his Martial Soul.

This significant boost in strength made the victory over Hong Sanwei within reason.

”Next up in our competition will be Ling Xiao versus Bai Qianjiao!”

The head referee seemed somewhat excited, as if he thought Bai Qianjiao might pose a threat to Ling Xiao.

In the VIP seats, Si Kong Zun, Heavenly King Sect Master, and the Sacred Emperor also showed smiles.

This dark horse Ling Xiao was really a headache for them; they needed someone to put him in his place, or else who knows how high his tail would rise.

The audience was immediately abuzz.

Even though Bai Qianjiao had lost to Qin Bi Xue, it was because Qin Bi Xue’s cultivation level had broken through to the Heavenly Man Realm.

Otherwise, the one likely to lose would have been Qin Bi Xue.

Therefore, the audience regarded Bai Qianjiao very highly.

And as for Ling Xiao, there was even less need to say.

This dark horse had so far defeated Jian Wuji, Hong Sanwei, and Mo Wu Shang, three of the Six Young Masters.

It seemed like the prestige of the Six Young Masters might completely fall into Ling Xiao’s hands today.

Of course, for Ling Xiao, this battle was actually even more important than the audience understood.

He was of the Human Race, while Bai Qianjiao was of the Sea Race, a Martial Artist belonging to the Storm Legion.

The Sea Race’s undying intent to annihilate the Human Race had been so since the Ancient Era.

The True Demon Emperor came close to accomplishing this feat.

And now, with the Storm Legion’s invasion, Bai Qianjiao would undoubtedly become the Sea Race’s vanguard.

Hence, facing Bai Qianjiao, he could not afford to lose.

Losing to a different species was even more unacceptable to him than losing to Ji Mingkong.

”Before we start the battle, may I ask you a question?”

Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

”Of course!”

Bai Qianjiao did not refuse.

”What I want to know is, if one day, the Human Race goes to war with the Sea Race, what would be your choice?”

Ling Xiao felt this question was quite important.

”You actually know about the Sea Race; you’re indeed not simple.”

Bai Qianjiao frowned and said coolly, ”While I respect you as a human, as the vanguard of the Storm Legion, I must prioritize the Sea Race’s greater cause and will not show mercy to the Human Race.”

”Understood.”

Ling Xiao nodded and responded, ”I respect you as well. Despite not having much talent, you have managed to master the difficult ’Blue Water Domain’ through sheer effort.

Yet, when it comes to righteousness, there’s no room for negligence!”

”Come then, let me see your righteousness!”

Bai Qianjiao took a deep breath; since her opponent already knew of her Sea Race identity, she could fully unleash her potential.

In previous battles, for fear of her identity being discovered, there were some moves she hadn’t used.
