Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Instant Kill with One Move

”Ha ha ha ha! Should I say you’re naive, or just plain stupid? A lowly human competing with our noble Peacock Clan, it’s no loss if you die. I merely wanted to cripple your cultivation level; you should feel lucky, yet you dare to show dissatisfaction?”

Kong You couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

From the top of the pavilion, laughter intertwined into a chorus.

Only Feng Qingyan and Feng Yanran remained expressionless; they vaguely remembered that a similar scene had occurred before, and those who had laughed nonstop afterward had either been crippled or had died.

”Is it that funny?”

Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

”More than funny, it’s the biggest joke in the world! It seems humans are born with a great sense of humor.”

Kong You suddenly said coldly, ”Next, you better not fight back. I’ve promised to only cripple your cultivation level. If you dare make a move, I’ll kill you!”

Having said that, Kong You suddenly struck toward the water.

Then, the surface of the lake trembled, and a massive creature slowly rose from the bottom.

Shortly after, seven or eight tentacles tightly wrapped around Ling Xiao, imprisoning him on the water’s surface.

It was a gigantic octopus.

The aura it emitted was definitely comparable to a martial artist at the Pinnacle of the Seven Star Sky Realm.

”Your Majesty, doesn’t this count as cheating?”

Feng Yanran panicked.

”This is part of the natural conditions and can’t be considered cheating. It’s just Ling Xiao’s bad luck.”

The Emperor sighed.

”Heh, if this isn’t against the rules, that’s interesting.”

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, and although the octopus’s tentacles tightly bound him, his face bore a calm smile, showing no signs of panic.

”Kid, you can still laugh now? You can’t even move; you’re just fish on the chopping block!”

Kong You looked at Ling Xiao, puzzled; he couldn’t understand how Ling Xiao could still be smiling in such a situation.

”Do I need to use my hands and feet to deal with you?”

Ling Xiao said disdainfully, and suddenly, an astonishing Sword Intent erupted from within him.

The Sword Intent of Slaughter and Destruction merged together.

It seemed to solidify into a tangible form!

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!

The tentacles of the octopus broke one by one, unexpectedly bleeding profusely without Ling Xiao using any weapons.

The octopus screamed in terror and plunged into the depths of the water.

This scene shocked everyone.

Although the octopus was not as strong as Kong You, it still possessed Pinnacle Seven Star Sky Realm strength; how could it have been so easily repelled by Ling Xiao?

”Scared?”

Ling Xiao slowly approached Kong You, stepping on the water as if on solid ground, utterly comfortable.

Behind him, the lake water, like a violently angry beast, raised waves meters high.

Within these waves, a terrifying force was gathering.

”What!”

Kong You, stunned, hurriedly drew a sword from his hand, then concentrated on his sword technique, thrusting into the void.

A Sword Qi, carrying the lake water, even condensed into a water-blue phoenix that lunged at Ling Xiao.

”Break!”

Ling Xiao continued walking forward, reaching out his right hand which flickered with golden light, and simply crushed the water-blue phoenix.

People watched this scene in shock, stunned at Ling Xiao’s strength; how could it be so formidable.

How could a martial artist with merely an Early Stage Six Arts Realm cultivation level cause such terrifying destruction?

And what exactly was that daunting Sword Intent?

It could even manipulate the lake water to join the attack, which was simply unheard of.

At this moment, Ling Xiao, despite looking plain and unadorned on the surface, was anything but ordinary.

But those who could feel his terrifying presence couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Could this fellow be a Sky God descended to earth? How could he be so formidable!

Jia Yun’s complexion changed.

Fengming Piaoxue’s expression turned gloomy.

And Kong You, who bore the brunt, was almost completely dumbfounded.

He had never dreamed that Ling Xiao could be this strong.

Had he known this, he would not have stepped forward even if it killed him.

He just wanted to gain Fengming Piaoxue’s favor; if it cost him his life, it really wouldn’t be worth it.

Ling Xiao suddenly stopped, only about five meters away from Kong You, and said, ”Kong You of the Peacock Clan, do you know why I was unwilling to accept your challenge earlier? Because I found it boring, and you truly don’t deserve me taking action.

But since you want to cripple me, in the spirit of how I’ve always been, naturally, I will cripple you too, and I hope you won’t live to regret it!”

Shadow Step!

The first step of understanding the Mystery of the Shadow was indeed the Shadow Step.

Ling Xiao had only used it once before, when he had severely injured Fengming Wan Zhong.

This time, he intended to open Kong You’s eyes.

Shadow Step was different from Rapid Light Movement.

Its speed might not match that of Rapid Light Movement, but the most terrifying aspect is that once it is used, the person vanishes.

If combined with the Shadow Armor, the effect is even better.

Shadow Cone!

Of course, Shadow Step should be paired with the Shadow Cone.

Without a trace, without form.

With Kong You’s level, he could not detect where Ling Xiao was, nor could he tell when Ling Xiao would make a move.

Even without breaking through his cultivation level, Ling Xiao’s combat power had increased many times with the understanding of Shadow Step.

From beginning to end, there was no aura.

Kong You couldn’t sense it, so all he could do was flee!

He spread his Peacock Feather and desperately ran toward the pagoda believing that in front of the Emperor, Ling Xiao wouldn’t dare hurt him easily.

Unfortunately, he no longer had that chance.

Shadow Step was fast!

The Shadow Cone was even faster!

If Kong You had fully defended, perhaps he could have resisted for a while, but his choice to flee resulted in the Shadow Cone piercing through his Heavenly Pulse directly. The terrifying Shadow Power began to ravage Kong You’s body, striking him from mid-air down to the surface of the water.

Gulp!

Above in the pavilion, everyone involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of surprised saliva.

Only then did they realize Ling Xiao was not afraid of Kong You, but merely disdained to fight him.

Kong You, wanting to show off in front of Fengming Piaoxue, had chosen Ling Xiao as a sacrificial gift, thus declaring he would cripple Ling Xiao.

It was because of this sentence, this thought, that he had completely pushed himself into the abyss.

Wouldn’t die if he didn’t court death, how could he not understand.

Ling Xiao dealt with Kong You using only one move, the Shadow Cone.

If one must count the Body Movement Technique, then reluctantly it’s two moves.

Just like that, clear-cut and effortless, so imperiously unrivaled.

”How terrifying is this strength, is this really just a martial artist of Six Arts Heaven Early Stage Cultivation?”

”I can’t understand it either!”

Above in the pavilion, everyone looked at Ling Xiao with deep apprehension.

Including the Emperor, whose eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

He couldn’t possibly coax Ling Xiao. This time inviting Ling Xiao over was in fact a Hongmen Banquet, incidentally to test what Ling Xiao’s capabilities truly were, to see if he should be eliminated at all costs.

Now he was certain.

This man must not stay!
