Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 951: Chapter 951 Earth Fire Sky Venerate

Ling Xiao, no matter where he was, always shone so brilliantly.

In Tianfeng City, he left those geniuses speechless with awe;

In Yunkong City, he stunned the experts into silence;

At Moon Hua Sect, he ascended to the position of the top disciple in less than a year;

In the Holy Dynasty Sacred City, he defeated the invincible Holy Son under twenty years of age, earning the glory of the Chosen Son of Heaven, and even repelled the dreadful Yin-Yang Demon King and Lightning Demon King;

In the God Phoenix Empire Capital City, he once again became the center of attention;

And here, he continued to do things that distinguished him from the rest.

Why does a person succeed?

That question is hard to answer.

But if one simply follows others blindly, never stepping out of line, success is surely unattainable.

”Stop right there!”

Leng Mei was evaluating her master when suddenly, a loud shout woke her from her reverie.

Circle Five truly deserved its reputation as the strongest among the five circles.

Ling Xiao and Leng Mei had just entered the range of Circle Five when they were spotted by the followers of the Fire Heaven Lord.

And it seemed that most of Circle Five had already been recruited by the Fire Heaven Lord, all uniformly dressed, presenting a majestic appearance, almost forming an independent small kingdom.

”Let the Fire Heaven Lord come out!”

Ling Xiao shouted loudly.

”Court death!”

How could the subordinates of the Fire Heaven Lord let such a provocation go unanswered?

Dozens of experts mobilized, hurling themselves toward Ling Xiao and Leng Mei.

Leng Mei glanced at Ling Xiao and said, ”Master, let me deal with these people.”

”Uh-huh.”

With Ling Xiao’s consent, Leng Mei soared into the air, her Plum Blossom Martial Spirit at her back transforming, revealing a blurry shadow suffused with an intensely terrifying killing intent.

Swoosh!

Just a shadow flashed by, and the dozens of the Fire Heaven Lord’s subordinates fell to the ground dead.

Most terrifying of all, they died with a red mark on their necks while the rest of their bodies bore not a single wound.

”Such swift swordplay, but daring to kill our people, you’re asking for death!”

The one who acted was a martial artist wielding a long spear.

His cultivation level had actually reached the Early Stage of the Five Elements Heaven, on par with Leng Mei.

The leading man of the Fire Heaven Lord’s subordinates, his strength was comparable to that of the chiefs of the other four circles, which speaks volumes about the Fire Heaven Lord’s own formidable power.

”Who’s seeking death is not yet certain!”

Leng Mei stood her ground unyielding.

Her Dual Martial Souls behind her powered up, reaching the ultimate speed.

Her hands, holding both a long and short blade, unleashed a sky full of Plum Blossom Sword Qi, engulfing the long spear martial artist.

Boom!

Energy flew wildly, shattering the surrounding walls as the two engaged in a fierce head-on collision.

The martial artist with the long spear was sent flying more than ten meters, while Leng Mei took only two or three steps back before steadying herself.

”What a powerful woman!”

The martial artist with the long spear believed that even if he faced the chiefs of the other four circles, he wouldn’t feel fear, which is why he had become the right-hand man to the Fire Heaven Lord.

Usually, the Fire Heaven Lord preferred not to show himself, focusing entirely on cultivation.

While the actual leader of Circle Five was indeed the Fire Heaven Lord, the actual management was all done by him.

He had thought handling this woman who had come looking for trouble wouldn’t pose any issue, but after a single exchange, he realized his judgment was severely mistaken.

The woman before him was stronger than him.

And not just slightly stronger—she was much more powerful!

After all, to be able to repel him in one move was something even the leaders of the other four rings couldn’t achieve.

”Xin, what’s the trouble?”

A resonant voice echoed from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location.

The voice was tinged with a strong Earth Fire aura, chilly yet palpably sinister.

”Boss, we have trouble at our doorstep, and I can’t handle it alone.”

Xin didn’t look at Ling Xiao because he really didn’t care about him; he simply didn’t believe he could defeat Leng Mei alone, which is why he told the truth to the Earth Fire Sky Venerate.

Life was, of course, more important than face.

”There’s actually someone you can’t handle? Well then, this Venerate shall come out and take a look!”

Before the voice had even fully faded, a sinister white shadow had already appeared in front of Ling Xiao and Leng Mei.

The speed was so fast that it made Leng Mei feel inadequate.

Ling Xiao’s expression remained unchanged as he scrutinized the Earth Fire Sky Venerate before him, and he felt slightly relieved in his heart.

The Earth Fire Sky Venerate was strong, but still weaker than he had anticipated.

Even without Leng Mei stepping in, he was confident he could take this guy down alone.

”You don’t seem like the boss of one of the other four rings. What are you two little ones up to?”

The Earth Fire Sky Venerate glanced at Ling Xiao and Leng Mei indifferently and asked sharply.

”Join us in breaking out of the underground factory, dare you?”

Ling Xiao felt the Earth Fire Sky Venerate might still be worth recruiting; he was strong, and if willing to join, he could certainly be a substantial asset.

The Eye of the World was in operation.

Ling Xiao could see clearly that the Earth Fire Sky Venerate’s Cultivation Level had reached the Late Stage of Five Elements Sky.

The total amount of his Heavenly Origin Power was more than four times that of the Wu Rat Sky Venerate!

This meant that both in terms of Cultivation Level and the richness of Heavenly Origin Power, the Earth Fire Sky Venerate was far stronger than the Wu Rat Sky Venerate.

Of course, it took him fifty years to cultivate from the Early Stage of Wu Xing Tian to the Late Stage of Five Elements Sky, a pace of progression that truly couldn’t compare to geniuses like the Blood Skeleton.

Ultimately, his strength was still not as great as the Blood Skeleton’s, and in fact, he was much weaker.

This was the gap between a regular Martial Artist and a Genius Martial Artist.

”Break out? Hahahaha, this Venerate has no intentions of leaving. It won’t be too late to leave after cultivating to the Cave Heaven Realm here!”

The Earth Fire Sky Venerate laughed heartily upon hearing Ling Xiao’s words, ”Moreover, who do you think you are, to speak to this Venerate? If it were that woman by your side, she might be somewhat qualified!”

”So, there’s no room for discussion?”

Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

”Discussion my ass! You two actually dared to barge into my Number Five Ring and kill so many of my men. Now, this Venerate gives you both one chance: choose to become my subordinates, or choose death?”

The attitude of the Earth Fire Sky Venerate was extremely domineering.

Of course, he looked down on Ling Xiao, but Leng Mei was still worth courting.

”How absurdly overconfident! The Leach Lord also wanted us as his subordinates, but he’s now lying in Hell dreaming.”

Ling Xiao said with a slight smile.

”Kid, you’re quite arrogant. But those who are arrogant often don’t end well!”

The Earth Fire Sky Venerate squinted and said, ”This Venerate truly cannot see what a mere Martial Artist at the Pinnacle of Three Talents Heaven like you has to boast about in front of me. Could it be that you’re stronger than the woman beside you?”

”Maybe not as strong as her, but I’m more than enough to kill you.”

Ling Xiao actually hoped that the Earth Fire Sky Venerate would allow him to thoroughly enjoy himself this time.

The previous encounters had been too easy—resolved in one move or, at most, two—so he hadn’t gotten a good chance to truly experience the power of his increased Cultivation Level.

The Earth Fire Sky Venerate was much stronger than the others, which made him a potentially excellent sparring partner.
