Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 956: Chapter 956: The Steward Makes a Move

”Kid, are you Ling Xiao?”

The Great Steward, along with four other Five-elements Heaven experts, approached Ling Xiao and Leng Mei, shouting harshly.

”I am Ling Xiao, are you from Pixiu Island?”

Ling Xiao retorted.

The Great Steward coldly said, ”Since you know we are from Pixiu Island, why don’t you surrender quickly? Do you want us to take action?”

”Surrender? What bold words! It seems you haven’t realized the situation yet. Without external support, you have no way out. If you behave, I might spare a few of your lives; otherwise, if these furiously enraged slaves kill you, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Ling Xiao said with a light smile.

”Brave boy, truly arrogant! Do you really think that with that motley crowd, you can overthrow our rule here on Pixiu Island? Just by killing you, they would naturally fall apart!”

The Great Steward continued.

”Well, you are not wrong about that, but the problem is, who among you can actually deal with me? Moreover, you act perversely and are utterly heartless. You are more than deserving of death, and today, evil will be repaid with evil!”

Ling Xiao said calmly.

”Ha-ha-ha, only fools believe in ’evil being repaid with evil.’ You should understand that the law of the Mysterious World ultimately boils down to four words, ’survival of the fittest’!”

The Great Steward burst into laughter.

”So you know the principle of survival of the fittest too. Since that’s the case, why waste words? You want to kill me, and I want to eradicate you. Let’s settle this with action; all those high-sounding principles are just excuses.”

Ling Xiao said disdainfully.

”Good boy, you seem to understand quite well, but it’s a pity that while you understand, you are very foolish in this matter. You really shouldn’t have provoked Pixiu Island; it will cause you to die a confused and unexplained death!”

The Great Steward sneered and waved his hand, ”Attack, no need to care about any Jianghu moral righteousness, just focus on annihilating Ling Xiao, ignore the others for now!”

With this command, dozens of Four Symbols Heavenly Realm Martial Artists charged at Ling Xiao, while those from the Five-elements Heaven hid among the crowd, ready to sneaky attack.

Since they knew Ling Xiao’s prowess, they certainly wouldn’t give him a chance to fight them head-on—sneak attacks were their best tactic.

”Motley crowd, only fit to die, get out of my way!”

Golden Crow Eclipse!

With a cold snort, Ling Xiao flicked the Golden Crow Sword, and a gigantic Golden Crow swooped down from the sky into the crowd.

Fierce flames boiled.

Thunderous roars.

Screams followed one after another.

Dozens of Four Symbols Heavenly Realm Martial Artists faced Ling Xiao’s strike and had no resistance; all were blown away.

Those unlucky were burned to ashes.

Those slightly luckier retained whole bodies.

Those with the worst luck, barely alive, could only scream continuously.

Leng Mei, Meng Tong, and Xin also took action at this time. Seeing Ling Xiao’s bravery, they all admired him immensely and naturally wanted to exhibit their own strength.

The three of them took on four Five Elements Sky Martial Artists, battling so fiercely that the sky darkened.

”Great Steward, stop sending your people to their deaths; it’s pointless. If you really want to catch me, come and do it yourself.”

Ling Xiao said leisurely, watching the Great Steward.

At this moment, the slave army held an absolute advantage and news couldn’t be sent out; he could indeed afford to amuse himself here for a while.

This Great Steward seemed to have a higher Cultivation Level than the Earth Fire Sky Venerate and be stronger; he could be a more suitable sparring partner.

”The rest of you, retreat and deal with those slaves; leave this boy to me!”

The Great Steward had realized it, too. Even warriors at the Four Symbols Heavenly Realm level couldn’t handle Ling Xiao.

And there were only four warriors at the Five Elements Sky Cultivation Level, all of whom were blocked by Ling Xiao’s men.

This left him with no choice but to take action himself.

With a dual-handed blade appearing in his hands, the Great Steward roared angrily, swinging the blade directly through the air towards Ling Xiao.

The strikes released violent blade energy, slashing wildly, as if it split the sky in two.

”An Immortal-grade Treasure? No, there must be a special Array Formation on it!”

Ling Xiao activated the Eye of the World and began to analyze the opponent’s attack.

He chose not to rush in recklessly but to retreat instead.

He held the Golden Crow Sword horizontally in front of him, ready to defend.

Clang!

Amid the clash of metal, Ling Xiao felt a surge of blood and energy,

This Great Steward was indeed stronger than the Earth Fire Sky Venerate, and even more crucially, the blade that this man wielded was extraordinary.

Just as Ling Xiao was slightly relieved and was preparing to counterattack, he suddenly saw an eerie inscription on the blade emitting a golden glow.

”Feng Ying Flash Strike!”

The attack released by the inscription took the form of blade energy that resembled phoenix feathers.

Because the distance was too close, Ling Xiao couldn’t escape it.

Fortunately, he was still capable with his dual wielding.

His left hand struck out, a blast of strong wind hitting upon those phoenix feathers, slowing them down just enough to narrowly avoid the strike.

But he had to take a few steps back.

”Good! That’s the Great Steward for you. That kid is no match. Just slay him, and the uprising will naturally come to an end!”

On Pixiu Island’s side, they were, in fact, very nervous; if the Great Steward lost to Ling Xiao, they might all face death.

Seeing the Great Steward suppressing Ling Xiao at this moment, they were overjoyed.

”I told you so, that kid could never match the Great Steward! Don’t forget, our Great Steward has reached the pinnacle of the Five Elements Heavenly Cultivation, while that kid has only shown the Pinnacle of Three Talents Heaven level so far!”

”That’s right, the Great Steward’s cultivation level is stronger than that kid’s, not to mention the Phoenix Feather Blade in his hand, which was enhanced by our Pixiu Island’s Array Master. No warrior of the same cultivation level can match him, let alone that kid.”

”So, it really was a weapon augmented by an Array Formation?”

Even though Ling Xiao was in the midst of battle, he didn’t actually feel too pressured.

The dire situation just then posed no real threat to him.

Even if the Great Steward’s blade truly hit him, it wouldn’t be able to inflict any substantial damage.

He had considered using Array Formations to enhance weapons and had tried it before but had never found a suitable array diagram, so he had never managed to do it.

Seeing this Phoenix Feather Blade today immediately piqued his interest.

Although he didn’t need it, he thought about seizing it to study whether the Array Formation could be used to enhance his own weapons.

”Kid, it’s time for you to die!”

While Ling Xiao was deep in thought, the Great Steward’s attacks hadn’t ceased. After a failed attempt, he swung his blade again at Ling Xiao.

Every move was ruthless.

Every blade was life-taking.

”I’m not ready to die yet. Why should I die just because you have a broken blade that’s not even as good as a Divine Artifact?”

Ling Xiao was somewhat disdainful.
