Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1004: Chapter 104: Unrivaled Escape

”Saxon Old Dog?”

Hearing that violent and somewhat commanding shout, Ling Xiao’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

Do you think I’ll stop just because you tell me to?

With a disdainful snort, Gluttonous Apocalypse continued its relentless attack toward Ximen Bu Mie.

Even during this process, Ling Xiao once again spurred on his Heavenly Origin Power, making the terrifying sword qi fly even faster.

”Audacious fiend!”

Ling Xiao’s actions clearly caused great displeasure to Si Kong Zun. In his explosive shout, he opted for a counter-encirclement tactic, ignoring Ximen Bu Mie and instead conjured a bolt of lightning thick as a bowl, slashing it down towards Ling Xiao.

Naturally, Ling Xiao was unable to withstand an attack from a Yin-Yang Realm expert.

Unwilling to waste the Power of the King of People just to kill Ximen Bu Mie, and left with no choice, he decided to evade.

The thick lightning struck the street, blowing a pit tens of meters deep into the ground.

This was probably because Si Kong Zun dared not to use his full strength, given this was a market place. Had he struck with all his might, it’s likely that not a single soul would be left alive on this entire street.

By that time, he, a Lightning Demon King of the True Demon Empire, would surely be driven out of the Phoenix God Empire.

So he didn’t use his full strength but controlled the lightning to a critical point, aiming only at Ling Xiao.

Unfortunately for him, Ling Xiao made a very decisive reaction, dodging the strike without a moment’s hesitation.

”The one I, Ling Xiao, decide to kill, you cannot protect!”

Ling Xiao’s indifferent voice emanated from the crowd.

Si Kong Zun suddenly thought of something.

That day in the plaza, he also tried to rescue the Blood Skeleton but to no avail.

Could it be the same today?

He turned to look and saw that, under the assault of Gluttonous Apocalypse, Ximen Bu Mie had completely vanished.

”Detestable brat, so vicious in your attack, killing so many of our Phoenix God College’s disciples, no one can save you today!”

Si Kong Zun didn’t actually care about the deaths of the Phoenix God College disciples; what mattered to him was his own pride.

Once again, Ling Xiao killed the person he was supposed to protect right before his eyes, something he truly couldn’t bear.

Fury surged violently as thunder and lightning roared around him.

Many spectators fled towards the distance, unwilling to be involved in the battle.

The might of an expert from the Yin-Yang Realm was something ordinary people couldn’t possibly envision.

That terrifying aura even made Ling Xiao feel a bit suffocated.

But moments later, his Mountain and River Martial Soul dispelled this discomfort.

For any martial artist to try to suppress him, Ling Xiao, with mere momentum, was absolutely impossible.

In the crowd, Qin Huo attempted to sneak attack Si Kong Zun from behind but was stopped by Ling Xiao through a transmitted message.

Although Qin Huo had reached the Cave Heaven Realm, he couldn’t compare to the Yin-Yang Realm. Attacking at this moment would not only be meaningless but would also expose him.

”Saxon Old Dog, think carefully, if word gets out that the Vice President of Phoenix God College attacked a mere junior from Qingxu College in the streets, where will your old face hide?”

Ling Xiao was laughing but preparing to flee all the while.

He knew full well that Si Kong Zun didn’t care about his pride and would undoubtedly make a move, so flight was the only option.

Fortunately, when Si Kong Zun arrived, Ji Mingkong and the others had wisely chosen to leave, thus freeing him from any concerns for their safety.

”No matter how eloquently you plead, today you are sure to die!”

Saxon Zun sneered coldly, remembering the day in the square when he was forced to sever his own arm. Although it had since been restored, the shame of it was unforgettable.

He would not be at peace until Ling Xiao was dead.

”Void Shadow Crocodile!”

Suddenly, Ling Xiao let out a cold shout and turned to run.

Saxon Zun was caught off guard and immediately sensed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly tried to dodge.

But because the distance was too close, his shadow was still bitten by the Void Shadow Crocodile, and the arm, which had healed, was bitten off again.

The most terrifying aspect of the Void Shadow Crocodile’s move was that no matter how strong your defense, it was futile because that strong defense couldn’t be applied to a shadow.

And it was the shadow that the Void Shadow Crocodile attacked.

This technique was the best when dealing with martial artists who had incredibly strong defenses.

”You fiend, if I don’t kill you today, I swear I’m no longer human!”

Enraged, Saxon Zun pursued Ling Xiao, completely disregarding the fresh blood continuously flowing from his arm.

He knew all too well that Ling Xiao was too fast; if he didn’t chase him now, once Ling Xiao took refuge in the Phoenix God College, it would be too late.

Judging the distance to be sufficient, Saxon Zun’s intact right hand condensed a ball of thunder and lightning and hurled it at Ling Xiao’s back with explosive force.

The ball of lightning howled through the air with such violent pressure that it twisted the very air into a maelstrom.

The speed was too fast, far surpassing that of Ling Xiao.

”Dammit, I had just mastered this move and planned to use it later, but now I’m forced to reveal it.”

Seeing the dire situation, Ling Xiao didn’t dare to hold back and unleashed his full power at the Early Stage of the Six Arts Realm.

Not only that, but he also utilized the fourth step of the Mysteries of Light—Rapid Light Movement!

After performing this move, Ling Xiao became like a beam of light, accelerating instantly towards the distance.

Saxon Zun’s attack hit nothing but air, and when it collided with a building, it destroyed the entire structure in an instant.

”Good lad, such astonishing body movement technique!”

Seeing that his attack failed to hit Ling Xiao, Saxon Zun’s feet flickered with two flashes of lightning, and his speed instantly accelerated as he lunged toward Ling Xiao again.

In terms of body movement technique, Ling Xiao could be considered invincible within the Heavenly Man Realm and was hardly matched by even early-stage Cave Heaven Realm martial artists.

But experts of the Yin-Yang Realm could easily catch up with him.

Saxon Zun, driven by malicious intent, found catching up with Ling Xiao as easy as flipping his hand.

However, body movement technique wasn’t necessarily all about speed. Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid of Saxon Zun because he still had other trump cards up his sleeve that he hadn’t used.

Saxon Zun’s pursuit of Ling Xiao drew a chorus of hisses from the onlooking martial artists.

A mighty expert from the Yin-Yang Realm publicly chasing down a Heavenly Realm martial artist—and using sneak attacks at that.

Such a degree of shamelessness was unparalleled.

”Before, I didn’t believe it when Ling Xiao said the people from Phoenix God College were despicable. But today, I’m thoroughly convinced.”

”Yeah, Saxon Zun, that old fart, must have lived tens of thousands of years, right? To be so relentless against a kid, it’s disgraceful.”

”Doesn’t the Emperor care about this sort of thing? If word gets out, it’s the reputation of our Phoenix God Empire that’s at stake.”

Hearing these comments, Saxon Zun’s expression turned ugly. But, perhaps accustomed to shamelessness, he gritted his teeth and picked up his speed toward Ling Xiao.

”Dammit, this old dog is really fast. No, it seems I need to pull out my last resort!”

Although Ling Xiao was no match for Saxon Zun, if he intended to escape, Saxon Zun alone truly wouldn’t be able to stop him.

However, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a warm and powerful presence rushing quickly towards him.
