Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 913: Chapter 913: Key Figure

”Ha ha ha, heard that? You can’t mess with the Blood Skeleton! I’m not afraid to tell you, my sister is Blood Skeleton’s woman. If you kill me, he won’t let you go, and you’ll end up accompanying me in death.”

The red-robed warrior suddenly burst out laughing, ”Think about it, is it worth it for you to accompany a scumbag like me?”

”Is he stronger than the Demonflame Celestial? Is he more formidable than the Lightning Demon King? It seems that even in death, you haven’t grasped the situation!”

Ling Xiao gently shook his head, and his Purple Lightning Sword thrust forward.

The longsword pierced through the red-robed warrior’s throat and then returned to Ling Xiao’s hand.

He was someone targeted by both the Demonflame Celestial and the Lightning Demon King.

If he were afraid of a mere Blood Skeleton, he wouldn’t be Ling Xiao.

That sword made everyone’s gaze freeze.

It was as if time had paused at that moment.

Including Feng Yanran, no one expected Ling Xiao to actually dare to kill the red-robed warrior, especially after learning about his connection to the Blood Skeleton, and still acting so decisively without any hesitation.

Wasn’t this guy’s courage too great?

As for the red-robed warrior, the shocked expression before his death fully reflected his emotions at that moment.

He was filled with immense regret.

Regretting why he had to come back and look for trouble; if he had just left earlier, he would have received only minor injuries, and with the strength of a Taiji Heavenly Martialist, he could have easily recovered.

But it was because he was uncomfortable in his heart.

Because of a little issue of pride, he had to seek revenge.

In the end, not only had he not regained any pride, but he had also caused the death of Duan Yun and dug his own grave.

Such behavior could hardly be described by the word ”stupid.”

”Still so arrogant! Still so domineering! Does Ling Xiao not know what fear is?”

Qin Bi Xue and Mo Wu Shang watched Ling Xiao, their hands trembling.

They had also thought about joining forces with Duan Yun to kill Ling Xiao.

But now, how ludicrous that seemed.

The two exchanged glances, each patting their chests, where within the Heavenly Pulse, there was no longer any breath.

”Ling Xiao, we’ve already crippled our own cultivation levels, just seeking to live on!”

These two once-genius youths and heroes were now forced to cripple their own martial arts, a cruel decision for them.

But to keep their lives was already fortunate.

”Not enough!”

Ling Xiao suddenly flicked his fingers through the air.

”You! You actually crippled our Heavenly Pulses!”

Destroying the Heavenly Pulse meant not just a loss of all martial arts skills, but also that they could never cultivate again and could only live as ordinary people.

”What, do you still think about cultivating again to trouble me? I’ve already been merciful by not killing you. It’s because I’ve killed two people today and grew tired of it! Now get lost!”

Ling Xiao didn’t kill Mo Wu Shang and Qin Bi Xue, not because of his weariness, but simply because they still had their uses.

Now that they were just ordinary people, they could no longer pose any threat to him, and there was no harm in leaving them alive.

Mo Wu Shang and Qin Bi Xue were filled with sorrow and anger, but it was meaningless.

They were well aware that their careers as martial artists were completely over, and from now on, their names would no longer exist among martial artists.

”Wait a minute!”

They hadn’t yet descended three steps when suddenly they heard that death-heralding voice again.

”What else do you want?”

Qin Bi Xue asked.

”Don’t worry, I just want to ask you one question. That trash just mentioned that the secret scroll stuck to the Dragon-breaking Stone belonged to the Blood Skeleton, is that true?”

”Yes, we don’t possess such a precious secret scroll.”

Mo Wu Shang nodded.

He didn’t quite understand why Ling Xiao was asking this.

”Looking at this, my death list is going to have one more name added, Blood Skeleton? I will turn him into a real blood skeleton!”

Ling Xiao would not kill someone unjustly, but he also would absolutely not let go of an enemy who dares to harm him or his friends!

Qin Bi Xue really wanted to say that Ling Xiao was no match for Blood Skeleton.

But as he opened his mouth, he suddenly closed it again.

He had already said this many times at the Sacred Dynasty Martial Arts Festival.

However, each time after he said it, Ling Xiao would prove him wrong with his actions.

This left him deeply frustrated.

So today, he suddenly did not dare to say it.

Because on Ling Xiao, it seemed there were no impossibilities.

As long as this person was present, miracles would occur.

Mo Wu Shang and Qin Bi Xue left.

Ling Xiao too, along with Lan Yu’er, Ji Mingkong, and Feng Yanran, left together.

At Qingxu College, Dai Yuling and the others, having finished their cultivation a few days earlier, should be there by now.

The two corpses on the third floor had already been collected, and the martial artists from Phoenix God College were trembling there, waiting for Blood Skeleton to arrive.

Because someone had already gone to report.

”Bury the bodies well, and report to the high ranks of Phoenix God College!”

The just-emerged Blood Skeleton did not show up at the Heavenly Origin Treasure Pagoda, he merely left behind a cold sentence.

And then he began to mutter one name—

Ling Xiao!

...

Inside the Imperial City, it was always bustling.

Gossip here almost seemed to grow wings, instantly spreading throughout the entire city.

Today, the most wildly spread piece of news was—

”Ling Xiao from Qingxu College killed Fengming Bo from Phoenix God College and Blood Skeleton’s nephew at the Heavenly Origin Treasure Pagoda, and he disabled the cultivation levels and Heavenly Pulse of both Mo Wu Shang and Qin Bi Xue!”

This sentence was transformed into various versions of the story circulating around the town and was even made into a skit by storytellers.

”Do you remember the young man who disabled Fengming Bo in front of Phoenix God College?”

”Of course, wasn’t he taken away by the Vice President of Qingxu College afterward?”

”Yes, it’s him. He has stirred up trouble again recently, actually killing Yun Duan of Phoenix God College and Blood Skeleton’s nephew!”

”Oh, I heard about that, he also destroyed the cultivation levels of Mo Wu Shang and Qin Bi Xue, right?”

”Exactly. That kid is too domineering. Originally Phoenix God College looked down on him, but he repeatedly made them lose face—I’m really impressed.”

”Impressed by what? He’s about to face bad luck!”

”Bad luck?”

”Think about it, Ling Xiao killed Blood Skeleton’s nephew. Can Blood Skeleton not retaliate? Plus, by offending Phoenix God College to such extent, how can they let him off easily? Though he’s swaggering now, he’s going to be finished soon!”

”Right, like a grasshopper after autumn, not able to leap for many days.”

”That’s true too. That Blood Skeleton is one of the top twenty disciples of Phoenix God College; they might take this chance to severely punish Qingxu College.”

In the taverns.

In the tea houses.

On the streets.

Even in many people’s homes, this matter was being discussed.

Ling Xiao and Blood Skeleton had undoubtedly become the most famous figures in the entire Imperial City.

At that moment outside Qingxu College, a group majestically arrived, the leader clad in blood-red skin, his expression ferocious and terrifying.

”Hurry and notify the elite disciples, tell them Blood Skeleton has come calling!”

The disciple guarding the gate recognized Blood Skeleton, his emotions escalating to extreme tension.
