Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Assassin Attack

Yan Peng glared fiercely at Ling Xiao, who was still laughing uproariously, shaking all over with hatred and anger.

”You dare laugh at me?”

”Why wouldn’t I laugh at you? An idiot, trying to drive the price down. Have you not considered that even if Yan Ran doesn’t bid, no others would resist competing with you? Young master of the Roc Clan? You think too highly of yourself!”

Ling Xiao felt increasingly disdainful of Yan Peng.

This man was too full of himself, acting as if the Imperial City held no one other than the Roc Clan.

Little did he know, within the Imperial City, there were many who dared to disrespect the nobles.

These individuals were not weak; they had both the courage and confidence to disregard the Imperial Family.

But now, as the item’s price had surged to over twenty million, it had become too high; they found it unwise to bid further.

”Let’s go, Yan Ran.”

Leaving behind an embarrassed Yan Peng, Ling Xiao called out to Feng Yanran and the two returned to the backstage.

Ling Xiao paid over six million Low-grade Spirit Stones for Qin Huo’s freedom and actually saved some money. He had thought he might need to use the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pill this time, but ended up not needing it.

”Can this man’s seal be undone now?”

Ling Xiao looked towards the limping Elder Bai he had defeated and asked.

”Reporting to Young Master Ling, it’s not that we don’t want to remove it, but once this seal is broken, with his strength, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to control him. If anything happened here in the auction house, we’d be unable to answer to Qingxu College.”

Elder Bai replied.

”Heh, you’re purposely making this difficult for me, aren’t you?”

Ling Xiao coldly sneered and said no more, leaving the auction house with Feng Yanran and Qin Huo.

At the moment, Qin Huo was still under the control of the seal, so he was no different from a slightly stronger ordinary person; just about any slightly competent martial artist could subdue him.

Though Qin Huo didn’t quite trust Ling Xiao, at the moment, his only way to leave the auction house was to follow him; thus, he kept quiet.

As they exited, Yan Peng suddenly appeared behind Elder Bai, patting his shoulder, ”Well done, Elder Bai. Otherwise, if Qin Huo’s seal was broken, my men might not have stood a chance against him.”

”Mr. Yan flatters me. That Ling Xiao dared to strike me; I want to watch him die now!”

Elder Bai grinned fiercely.

”Hahaha, don’t worry, you’ll soon see that young pup’s life specimen!”

Yan Peng laughed wildly.

On the way to Qingxu College, in a sparsely populated area, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped and casually unlocked Qin Huo’s handcuffs and shackles.

Then he said, ”General Qin, next, I will unseal you. Do not resist!”

Qin Huo was stunned for a moment but then showed a look of relief and nodded repeatedly.

He didn’t know if Ling Xiao’s words were true, but he wouldn’t give up on even the slightest hope.

”Yan Ran, could you please help protect us? Unsealing may take some time.”

Ling Xiao looked towards Feng Yanran.

”Why don’t we wait until we get back to deal with it?”

Feng Yanran glanced at Qin Huo; she clearly didn’t quite trust him.

With Qin Huo’s strength, it would be easy for him to deal with the two of them.

”Because we don’t have time. Do you think Yan Peng would let me off?”

Ling Xiao smiled, ”I’m going to surprise him.”

With that, he wasted no more time, retrieved some materials from his Storage Ring, and began the process of breaking the seal.

In the realm of Array Formation, Ling Xiao’s skill was no less adept than his Alchemy Technique. The Magic Array sealing Qin Huo’s Heavenly Origin Power was formidable, but it was a far cry from the Ancient Array System, being only moderately powerful.

He estimated that removing it completely would only take a quarter of an hour.

Now, he could only hope that nothing troublesome would happen in this quarter-hour.

After all, the process of breaking a seal required both Soul Power and Heavenly Origin Power to work together, and any interference could be dangerous.

But a quarter of an hour was still too long.

After about ten minutes, danger arrived.

It was that assassin.

Yan Peng’s assassin.

He was also a warrior with Ten Directions Heaven Cultivation in the Heavenly Realm.

No wonder Yan Peng had stopped the Shenhuang Auction House from unsealing Qin Huo; although this assassin was formidable, Qin Huo was not inferior to him.

”Stop!”

Feng Yanran blocked the assassin’s path.

”Get out of the way, or I’ll kill you too!”

The assassin frowned. He knew Feng Yanran’s identity and did not dare to act recklessly, as it would prevent him from remaining in the Imperial City.

”How much did Yan Peng pay you? I can double it!” Knowing her status and position might not intimidate him, Feng Yanran opted to bribe him with money.

”Think I’d fall for that?”

The assassin sneered, no longer wasting words; he realized that Feng Yanran was biding time.

Suddenly, he turned into a shadow.

Then, Feng Yanran fell to the ground.

The assassin hadn’t struck lethally, but knocking Feng Yanran unconscious was no problem.

”Die!”

Having dealt with Feng Yanran, the assassin’s remaining targets were Ling Xiao and Qin Huo.

Killing these two would earn him a substantial sum from Yan Peng, allowing him to live freely and have whatever he desired.

At the critical moment, Qin Huo’s Xingtian Martial Spirit reappeared behind him, its fighting spirit surging towards the assassin, trying to briefly stop him through the use of the Martial Spirit.

”Such petty tricks!”

The assassin scoffed, his own Martial Spirit appearing behind him, manifesting as a vague blood shadow, making it hard to discern exactly what it was.

However, upon its appearance, the assassin’s aura skyrocketed. A strong will clashed against Qin Huo’s combat spirit.

Bang!

Both intents vanished simultaneously.

The assassin revealed a fierce grin, his sharp blade piercing the void, aiming for Ling Xiao’s throat.

But at that moment, his face drastically changed.

Unexpectedly, a giant eye appeared in the sky, staring intensely at him.

The frightening will was significantly stronger than Qin Huo’s.

”How is this possible!”

The assassin broke into a cold sweat, his Spirit Sea churning chaotically, messing up his ability to perform techniques.

Soul Power was crucial for controlling Martial Skills, and Inner Strength was key to their power.

Missing either was unacceptable.

He realized he had truly underestimated Ling Xiao.

This young man was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

”Remnant Blood Secret!”

The assassin suddenly roared, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His previously chaotic gaze gradually normalized. By harming himself, he broke free from Ling Xiao’s Eye of the World.

”You must die!”

Feeling threatened and tricked by Ling Xiao, the assassin felt even more resolved that Ling Xiao deserved to die.

Not only because of Yan Peng’s order but also because he felt a significant threat.

Broken Blood Kill!

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, the assassin’s twin daggers turned blood-red. He launched a terrifying attack towards Ling Xiao.

Fast!

Powerful!

And extremely cunning!
