Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 977: Chapter 977 Critical Moment

This beast was born from destruction, fighting to destroy everything.

What on earth is this monster?

”Now, the plan is to fend off the opponent’s attacks as much as possible, and then perfectly execute this move. If I really can fully comprehend this technique, I will definitely be able to completely master the power of destruction. Taking care of the Blood Skeleton will be as easy as flipping my hand!”

The move Ling Xiao had previously fused was only skin deep, powerful yes, but not necessarily enough to defeat the Blood Skeleton’s Skeleton Battle Body.

So he didn’t plan to strike rashly. He wanted to perfect this move!

All of this seemed lengthy, but in reality, it was but a moment’s time, just a thought in Ling Xiao’s mind.

Suddenly, he swallowed a handful of Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills.

Pills that others would bid high prices for at auction, he crunched them like broad beans.

Then, Ling Xiao just stood there, motionless.

On his body, a layer of perfect Armor gradually emerged.

After the Crimson Sun Feather Robe and Shadow Armor fusion, the even more defensively formidable Light and Shadow Battle Armor was born!

After all, this was a skill that appeared at the very first step of the Light and Shadow Mystique, so the fusion was relatively easy. Ling Xiao had perfected it.

The Crimson Sun Feather Robe certainly couldn’t withstand the Blood Skeleton’s attacks, but at the very least, the Light and Shadow Battle Armor could buy some time.

”Is that a new move?”

”There’s no use. It’s clear that Ling Xiao has already deployed all his combat power. He’s simply buying time now.”

”How do you know it’s useless? He hasn’t given up yet!”

”Right, as long as he hasn’t given up, it’s not over. This is a life-and-death battle. Until death, nothing has concluded.”

Boom!

A powerful fighting spirit suddenly burst forth from Ling Xiao, rising straight to the Yun Xiao, breaking through the night, making the square that had become dim once again light up.

Although Martial Artists don’t care much for the dark of night, let alone Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, even Transcendent Realm Martial Artists can use their inner strength to enhance their vision.

But light is still something all living beings prefer.

”Such strong fighting spirit, this Ling Xiao is truly not to be trifled with!”

”Hmph, I see it as nothing more than a desperate struggle, an overestimate of his own abilities.”

”Is that so? Why don’t we make a bet then?”

The two speaking were Phoenix Wushan, the young master of Shenhuang Auction House, and Yun Ya, the lady boss of the Heavenly Dragon Auction House.

Yun Ya, of course, supported Ling Xiao.

Phoenix Wushan favored the Blood Skeleton.

”A bet it is. What does Princess Emma Ya Cloud propose?”

”It’s simple, if I win, your Shenhuang Auction House will abandon the business of publicly auctioning human slaves!”

Yun Ya said with a smile.

”That’s not acceptable!”

”Are you scared?”

”It’s not about fear. I’m just the young master of Shenhuang Auction House, not the person in charge. Whether this can be counted or not, we need the Emperor to decide. So Princess Emma Ya Cloud, please propose something else.”

Phoenix Wushan shook his head.

”Fine then, I’ll step back. If I win, all the human slaves of Shenhuang Auction House right now will belong to me, how about that?”

Yun Ya continued, ”Don’t say you can’t make a decision or are too scared to bet. You can just say it outright since we’re just playing here anyway. It means you don’t have much confidence in that Blood Skeleton.”

”Heh, Princess Emma Ya Cloud, you really know how to use reverse psychology. Alright, I can agree to that. So if you lose, Princess Emma Ya Cloud, what then?”

Phoenix Wushan asked with a smile.

”Young Master Wushan, what do you propose?”

Yun Ya asked in return.

”Then I shall not be polite. If you lose, you must accompany me for a month. You’ll have to do whatever I say, including offering your body!”

Phoenix Wushan said with narrowed eyes.

Yun Ya’s beauty had him head over heels, and he had dreamt countless times of pressing her down and having his way with her.

Today, this dream might actually come true.

”Hehe, I agree to that, but apart from myself, don’t even think of getting anything else.”

Yun Ya said with a light smile.

”You agreed?”

Phoenix Wushan was stunned for a moment, but then he was ecstatic.

He had thought Yun Ya would make excuses, yet she had agreed without any hesitation at all.

”Why wouldn’t I agree? I have high hopes for Ling Xiao.”

Yun Ya said with a smile.

”Hahahaha, I really don’t know what’s so good about that Ling Xiao to make you willing to bet on yourself. This time, you are sure to lose!”

Phoenix Wushan burst into loud laughter.

Because he knew that Ling Xiao was destined to lose today!

Even if the Blood Skeleton was not Ling Xiao’s match, Ling Xiao was still certain to lose!

From the day Ling Xiao offended the Phoenix God College, his tragic fate had been sealed!

”He will probably disappoint you!”

Yun Ya was not the type to make wagers lightly.

She was betting today because she believed in Ling Xiao.

”Idiot, Blood Skeleton, don’t you dare not attack. Ling Xiao is trying to comprehend some technique! Don’t give him that opportunity!”

Seeing the Blood Skeleton hesitating to attack, Si Kong Zun couldn’t help but curse out loud, ”This is a life or death duel, not a sparring match. Take the opportunity to kill him, what are you waiting for!”

This statement truly was a wake-up call to those lost in their dreams.

The Blood Skeleton was originally puzzled why Ling Xiao had suddenly stopped moving and closed his eyes, as if he was doing something.

He thought Ling Xiao had given up.

Only now did he suddenly realize that Ling Xiao was actually attempting to comprehend some technique in the midst of their battle?

How could this be allowed!

That one move from Ling Xiao earlier had nearly killed him. If he were to comprehend something else, wouldn’t that make things even more troublesome?

Kill!

There was nothing good about hesitation!

The Blood Skeleton didn’t care if others would call him shameless; after all, this was a life or death duel, and the dead could not speak.

The huge bone spike tore through the air, directly striking Ling Xiao’s Light and Shadow Battle Armor.

”So hard!”

What shocked the Blood Skeleton was that the strange black and white armor on Ling Xiao’s body was unimaginably tough.

His attack was unable to penetrate it.

”Stop dawdling, use everything you have. Once he achieves a breakthrough or comprehends a new technique, it will be troubling!”

Si Kong Zun roared.

The Blood Skeleton hesitated for a moment, but eventually took out a blood-red pill from the Storage Ring.

Naturally, this was also provided to him by the higher-ups of the Phoenix God College.

To kill Ling Xiao, the Phoenix God College had truly spared no effort.

This ”Frenzy Pill” was personally crafted by the head of the Divine Phoenix Medical College, Sun Shang, and could temporarily enhance a martial artist’s offensive power by nearly double.

Of course, the more powerful the pill, the greater the side effects.

That was why the Blood Skeleton had always been reluctant to use it.

After taking this thing, he wouldn’t be able to move, and if Ling Xiao couldn’t be killed by then, he would be completely at the mercy of others.

But in this moment, he had no other choice.

The Frenzy Pill was swallowed.

The furious power instantly spread throughout his body.

On that huge bone spike, the blood-red glow was brighter than before.

Crack!

”It shattered!”

”That armor looks cracked!”

”Ling Xiao’s defense has been broken!”

Many people exclaimed in shock.

They didn’t care what the Blood Skeleton had consumed, after all, there were no strict rules in this duel—just as long as one could kill the other without the help of outsiders.
