Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Went Easy on Them

Ling Xiao, possessing the Light and Shadow Mystique, could definitely kill the girl before anyone else could get to her.

His voice was calm, yet the strong threat implicit in his words sent chills down the spine.

The onlookers believed this without a doubt.

Feng Yanran, on the other hand, felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness.

The person before her had a low cultivation level and was clearly a nobody who seemed only around fifteen or sixteen years old, yet his judgment and way of speaking accurately struck the heart of the matter.

He seemed like a ruler controlling everything, making one feel very uncomfortable.

”Are you saying disabling me isn’t enough, you also want to kill me?” the girl asked, trembling.

”Hehe, it seems you’ve become smarter after being disabled. Yes, that’s what I mean, you heard it clearly!” Ling Xiao said with a slight smile, looking at the girl.

The biggest mistake this girl made was her arrogance and fondness for stirring up trouble despite her insufficient strength.

Relying on her family background, she recklessly provoked others.

Most people might fear her because of the backing she had.

But what if they encountered a madman?

A madman like Ling Xiao, who had come this far relying on slaughter and had never feared anyone.

Then, this girl was indeed not far from death.

No matter who she was!

Feng Yanran sneered, ”You are arrogant now only because you don’t know who she is. If you truly knew, I believe you would realize how foolish you’ve been.”

She fixed her gaze on Ling Xiao, hoping to see even a trace of fear and panic on his face.

That way, she would feel a bit more at ease.

The girl also looked at Ling Xiao, even imagining the scene where Ling Xiao would kneel down in panic after her identity was revealed.

At that time, she definitely would not spare him. She wanted him to neither live peacefully nor die easily.

However, they were both doomed to be disappointed.

Before they could reveal the girl’s identity, Ling Xiao spoke up.

”Do you think I am as foolish as you? The flying dagger handle bears the character ’Phoenix,’ surrounded by the Ice Phoenix Clan’s pattern. Wouldn’t I know that she is from the Ice Phoenix Clan?”

Ling Xiao disdainfully threw the flying dagger he held, scaring the girl as it landed right beside her.

”Being from the Ice Phoenix Clan, not knowing how to uphold the royal family’s dignity but instead swaggering and bullying others in public, how different are you from a dog that depends on others’ power? The Ice Phoenix Clan should be ashamed to have such a disgraceful woman!”

Ling Xiao’s voice echoed inside the tailoring shop, and many of the onlookers actually wanted to applaud.

But they didn’t dare to do so. They did not have the courage of Ling Xiao and could only spend their lives trembling in fear.

Suffering from others’ oppression, they could only bow their heads in silence.

If their daughters were kidnapped or their sons were killed, they could only cry their hearts out and not dare to resist.

This was their life.

Because they were cowardly, they dared not offend anyone from the royal family.

The girl’s face turned deathly pale, her imagined dream shattered, and the scenario of humiliating Ling Xiao was completely crushed by his righteous words.

She was a dog that depended on others’ power?

This was the gravest of insults.

Feng Yanran’s expression shifted constantly—surprise, anger, and confusion flickered across her face.

Although what the young man said was true, normally, who dared to speak these words in front of their clan members?

”Is this really a madman?”

”Perhaps not!”

”The elections are fast approaching now, and if the Ice Phoenix Clan retaliates against Ling Xiao because of today’s incident, then in the end, it’s the Fire Phoenix Clan that will definitely be pleased.”

”The Ice Phoenix Clan will ruin their chances in the next election because of a foolish girl, thoroughly defeated by the Fire Phoenix Clan.”

”Then, the situation would become grave.”

”Did this young man see through this?”

”Is that why he appears so fearless?”

”Could he possibly be a guest elder of the Fire Phoenix Clan?”

”Which bastard dares cripple my daughter? I’ll kill him!”

Just as Feng Yanran was hesitating about whether to personally take action against Ling Xiao, a voice like thunder came from outside the door.

Then, a middle-aged man in armor rushed into the boutique, followed by two martial artists also clad in armor.

”Daddy, it was him, that boy crippled my cultivation level!”

Seeing her father arrive, the girl felt as if she had been saved and pointed at Ling Xiao, shouting loudly.

The middle-aged man’s body shook as he looked at Ling Xiao, a terrifying aura bursting forth.

Heavenly Human Realm Nine Heavy Sky Late Stage cultivation level!

This level of cultivation was definitely something Ling Xiao couldn’t cope with; he frowned slightly, lightly touched the Storage Ring on his hand, ready to flee.

To flee from an unwinnable fight was not shameful.

Surviving the pursuit of a powerful foe was a skill in itself.

”You bastard, daring to hurt my daughter, I will absolutely shred you into a million pieces today!”

In his violent anger, the middle-aged man was beyond reasoning.

In this situation, Ling Xiao wouldn’t reason either.

There’s little rationale in a man consumed by anger.

The middle-aged man took out a long spear from his Storage Ring and pointed it at Ling Xiao, releasing an even more terrifying aura, directly targeting him.

For a moment, the entire boutique felt oppressively tense.

This person must be an experienced killer on the battlefield, with under his spear not less than ten thousand dead souls, maybe even thousands. The blood aura that condensed was genuinely unbearable for many.

Onlookers started to retreat further away from the site where the fight was about to erupt.

Ling Xiao felt his breathing become difficult, as if a ten-thousand-pound boulder was pressing on his chest, unbearably painful.

The power of his opponent was truly beyond his ability to contend.

Yet his expression remained calm, showing no signs of panic or fear.

”At this point, you should realize how correct what I just said was, right? None of you will survive.”

An icy voice came from Feng Yanran’s mouth, her eyes still fixed on Ling Xiao, hoping to see a change in his expression.

If he showed fear or panic, she would feel immensely satisfied.

”I’ve already said that even in death, I’d die standing! Some things, once done, are done—regret is useless. Face it openly!”

Ling Xiao said disdainfully, ”If a person lives unashamedly when humiliated, they’re nothing but a walking corpse. Yet, I do have a small regret.”

Feng Yanran’s face brightened, finally, the man seemed afraid.

However, Ling Xiao’s next words almost made her choke on her own spit.

”I only regret not having killed that girl cleanly. Crippling someone’s cultivation is too troublesome and leaves lingering problems.”

Ling Xiao spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened, as if there was no one threatening his life before him.
