Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 835: Chapter 835 Each Accepts Their Tian Ming

Ji Mingkong only wanted to defeat Ling Xiao as quickly as possible. Otherwise, just looking at him made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Even though she was angry enough to curse, Ji Mingkong still strived to maintain a better image.

Standing there, she resembled a sacred Bai Lian, noble and pure, untouchable by anyone.

”Hmph, all show and no substance!” Si Kong Xuan, the Vice Sect Leader of Heavenly King Sect, huffed coldly.

”Hehe, even if it’s all an act, being able to maintain such composure in front of so many people is not easy,” Si Kong Zun said with a slight smile.

”Big brother, whose side are you on?” Si Kong Xuan said discontentedly.

”Who I support is not important. What’s important is that in this battle, our Mingkong absolutely must not lose!” Si Kong Zun continued slowly, ”If she loses, it won’t just be a loss of face but also a loss of momentum and the glory of the ’Chosen Son of Heaven.’ This would be a huge blow not only to the Sacred Dynasty Royal Family but also to our Heavenly King Sect, and could even affect the establishment of Dragon Sky Academy.”

”What should we do?” asked Si Kong Xuan.

”Just in case, you better prepare. If Ling Xiao wins, don’t let him leave this place. I don’t believe the Moon Lady would risk her life over a mere youngster. Once he’s gone, she will surely withdraw,” Si Kong Zun said coldly.

”Really? Ling Xiao could win?” Si Kong Xuan said disdainfully.

”What are you fussing about? Just go,” Si Kong Zun ordered.

”Alright, fine. You’re the big brother, and besides, you’re the Sect Leader of Heavenly King Sect,” Si Kong Xuan said as he stood up and left.

”Ling Xiao, do you have anything else to do? Why haven’t you ascended the platform?” the chief referee stood up, frowning.

The Martial Arts Platform and the Magic Array were already repaired.

Ji Mingkong had taken the lead in stepping onto the Martial Arts Platform, yet Ling Xiao just stood there, unwilling to move, which annoyed the referee.

”There indeed is something else.”

Ling Xiao said slowly, ”The competition in the Martial Arts Festival is too boring. It doesn’t allow for taking lives; what kind of challenge is that? I want to face the Holy Son to the death, let life and death be determined by fate!”

It wasn’t that Ling Xiao was bloodthirsty.

But he was currently at a disadvantage and had to take this approach.

Otherwise, if Ji Mingkong accidentally killed him, she would definitely get away with it, fully protected by the entire Sacred Dynasty and Heavenly King Sect.

Unless the Moon Lady sought revenge.

And if he accidentally killed Ji Mingkong, chances were the people of the Sacred Dynasty and Heavenly King Sect would openly come to kill him, even declaring him a public enemy of the dynasty.

But if he clarified things up front, they wouldn’t dare to mess around openly, especially since there were not a few people here.

The Sacred Dynasty, in order to maintain its rule, still needed to save face and wouldn’t want to risk everything for a Holy Son.

As long as they didn’t act openly, he would have loopholes to exploit and would surely be safer.

Everyone in the venue fixated their gazes on Ling Xiao in an instant.

They couldn’t believe Ling Xiao would say such a thing.

Wasn’t this seeking death?

Your opponent is Holy Son Ji Mingkong! Did you think you’re dealing with just anyone, proposing a battle to death yourself?

”Golden Light, should we try to dissuade Ling Xiao? This is too risky!” Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate said with a frown.

”Dissuade him?”

Golden Light Heavenly Lord shook his head with a bitter smile, ”Can we even persuade him?”

As he said this, Golden Light Heavenly Lord turned to look at Moon Lady’s expression, only to find that not only was she not the slightest bit worried, she even had a satisfied smile on her face.

”I can’t believe it!”

Golden Light Heavenly Lord was speechless. He had originally planned to have Moon Lady help persuade Ling Xiao, thinking Ling Xiao would surely listen to her.

But who knew that Moon Lady actually seemed to approve of the whole thing.

Holy Son Ji Mingkong also flashed a hint of surprise in her eyes but she quickly returned to normal.

Was she planning to just give up completely?

After a cold laugh, she said indifferently, ”I agree, let life and death determine their fates!”

Hearing Ji Mingkong’s words, the Sacred Emperor in the VIP seats furrowed his brows.

Although Ling Xiao had remarkably reached the finals of the martial arts tournament, surprising many,

He still felt Ling Xiao was no match for Ji Mingkong.

After all, Ji Mingkong was the focus of the Sacred Dynasty and Heavenly King Sect’s full cultivation, and her strength was something the Sacred Emperor knew too well.

Yet even so, the Sacred Emperor still didn’t want to publicly declare a fight to the death.

Because if he did, Ling Xiao would go all out, and who knew what ruthless tactics this young man would use.

Even if Ji Mingkong won, if she ended up with permanent injuries, it would be a loss greater than the gain.

But his reluctance was useless.

Ji Mingkong had agreed, and if he went back on his word now, the Royal Family’s dignity would be completely lost.

The chief referee snorted coldly, ”Young lad, you previously impersonated Ji Fulin’s son, deceiving and swindling. I let that go, but now you are making this request. Are you genuinely seeking death?”

”Referee, I don’t know who has been filling your head with such nonsense, but I don’t know Ji Fulin, and I’ve never impersonated anyone’s son!”

Ling Xiao instantly understood why the referee had suddenly taken a dislike to him, it turned out someone had been sowing discord.

Was it the Sacred Emperor?

Or perhaps Ji Mingkong?

It didn’t matter who it was anymore.

He offered an explanation, then leapt onto the Martial Arts Platform.

Seeking death?

He had no intention of dying, he just wanted to preserve his own life.

What seemed like a duel of life and death was in fact the fairest of battles.

The Purple Lightning Sword appeared in his hand, the strongest sword he currently possessed, perfect for facing Ji Mingkong.

The sound of thunder that the treasured sword brought forth was like a thunderclap, with electricity constantly flashing along the blade.

The Heavenly Origin Power, now completely transformed into the electrical attribute, emitted a dazzling blue light, encircling Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao stared at Ji Mingkong and said, ”When you first came looking for trouble with Chen Nanxing at Moon Hua Sect, you probably never thought this day would come, but now, it’s time for us to settle things between us.”

He had no fondness for Ji Mingkong whatsoever.

Ever since their first encounter, Ji Mingkong had continuously sent people after him, seeking his life.

Feng Yaorao, Po Qian Jun, Ya Qian Xue, Jian Wuji—these people had all tried to kill him.

But he had resolved and countered each attack.

After all, who could maintain an unvengeful heart after repeated assassination attempts?

Certainly not Ling Xiao.

Perhaps the earlier Zhao Ci could have, considering it’s something not possible to accept without a Mother Teresa-like character.

Ji Mingkong gently touched a Storage Ring on her jade hand.

The Storage Ring, crafted from beautiful gems, was not only spacious but also very exquisite.

A red light flickered, and a long, thin treasured sword appeared in her hand.

This sword was about a foot longer than the average sword and was exceptionally thin, giving off an ominous feeling.
