Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Used Sorcery?

Feng Zhan must strike down Xie Li with full force, leaving his defenses inevitably weak. That’s the perfect time for Ling Xiao to launch an attack.

”Waiting just for you!”

Feng Zhan sneered coldly; the Knight behind him actually separated from his body and lunged at Ling Xiao with a Long Spear.

”Soul separation?”

Ling Xiao was momentarily stunned.

He had naturally seen such techniques before. However, after soul separation, both parties’ strength would diminish, which shouldn’t be beneficial for Feng Zhan.

”No, that’s not right!”

After a brief moment of frowning, Ling Xiao quickly melted back into the darkness.

The method used by Feng Zhan was not ordinary soul separation!

This guy’s Martial Soul must have already advanced to the ”Wandering Soul” stage.

All along, Martial Souls go through stages such as Broken Soul, Complete Soul, Out-of-body, and Wandering Soul.

During the Out-of-body stage, although the Martial Soul can cooperate with Martial Artists in combat, this results in a decline in their combined strength, failing to achieve the synergy of their cooperative state.

Thus, although many Martial Artists’ Martial Souls have evolved to the Out-of-body stage, not many actually let their Martial Soul venture out.

It’s only after advancing to the Wandering Soul stage that everything changes.

A Wandering Soul stage Martial Soul can fight independently, and within a certain range, it will not diminish the combined combat strength.

In other words, the expected amplification effects still exist.

What’s most terrifying is that the Wandering Soul stage Martial Soul can now fight independently; even without the Martial Artist’s control, it can kill enemies.

Ling Xiao had not seen a Wandering Soul stage Martial Soul on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, probably because most people couldn’t reach it, and those who could didn’t deign to use it.

After reaching the Divine Phoenix Continent, he encountered many Martial Artists who didn’t have a Martial Soul, which made him completely forget about this matter.

Unexpectedly, today he actually encountered a Wandering Soul stage Martial Soul.

This was indeed a complete surprise.

The Wandering Soul stage is divided into three phases: Night Traveller, Day Traveller, and Spiritual Body!

During the Night Traveller phase, they can’t be exposed to light, which is a significant disadvantage. Day Travellers aren’t afraid of sunlight but are still very cautious of strong bloodlines or Soul Power.

Only upon transforming into a Spiritual Body can they fight like true warriors without significant disadvantages.

Ling Xiao’s current Mountain and River Martial Soul is only at the seventh stage of the Out-of-body phase, far from reaching the Wandering Soul stage.

These things may sound complicated, but it all happened in a flash in Ling Xiao’s mind.

He only needed to grasp two points—

First, neither Feng Zhan nor his Knight Martial Soul had their combat power reduced;

Second, the Martial Soul is definitely weaker than the Martial Artist itself.

That’s enough.

But this weakness is limited.

Feng Zhan’s Knight Martial Soul, bursting with combat power, is definitely not inferior to a Ninth or even Tenth Firmament Martial Artist.

In front of it, Ling Xiao still feels utterly powerless.

No wonder those with Martial Souls are so powerful. Just this point alone is enough to utterly defeat Martial Artists without Martial Souls.

In comparison, Bloodline enhancement can’t achieve this. Bloodlines can enhance a Martial Artist’s own strength, possibly no less than a Martial Soul, but it can’t separate out.

Therefore, Xie Li wanting to help Ling Xiao is now impossible.

Everyone watched Ling Xiao, thinking that his death was certain.

”So, it turns out that everything was just wishful thinking!”

The Scorpion Tribe people also despaired, their bodies not yet recovered, unable to go help, and now they could only watch helplessly as Ling Xiao was killed by the Martial Soul.

This was utterly frustrating.

”Ah, there shouldn’t have been any hope in the first place; Ling Xiao’s courage is commendable, but his strength is simply too weak to defeat Feng Zhan, which is just asking too much.”

”Yes, we were thinking too much.”

Compared to the frustrated Scorpion people, the originally worried Lizard people, Black Crow Army, and Mythical Phoenix Warriors showed excited expressions.

”Die!”

They hoped to see Ling Xiao killed.

That way, they would be safe.

Otherwise, with Ling Xiao’s temperament, he would undoubtedly not let them go, and they would only have a dead end.

Boom!

The knight’s long spear stabbed into Ling Xiao’s body, and the erupting force obscured everyone’s vision.

People were waiting to see how Ling Xiao was doing.

Was he dead?

”No way! Ling Xiao isn’t dead, how is this possible!”

A shocking scene unfolded.

Ling Xiao was standing there unharmed, while the knight’s Martial Soul rapidly shrank and finally turned into a wisp of dust, completely disappearing in the hall.

”What’s going on! This is absolutely impossible, that Martial Soul had at least the strength of the Eighth Firmament, yet Ling Xiao is unscathed!”

”Not only unscathed, he even managed to counter-kill the knight’s Martial Soul, how did he do it?”

Countless people cried out in astonishment.

The key was that this scene was too weird, so weird that many people doubted their own eyes were broken.

”Damn, lucky I had Butterfly Girl to help, or else that strike just now would have skinned me if it didn’t kill me, that was close.”

But Ling Xiao was feeling somewhat sentimental inside; these Half-step Yin Yang Realm experts were not something he could handle at his current level, even Martial Artists from the Ten Directions Heavenly Realm might be hard for him to deal with, let alone such powerhouses.

Of course, speaking of which, without Butterfly Girl, Ling Xiao wouldn’t have thought of clashing with the knight’s Martial Soul head-on; he might have chosen to run.

If he escaped, and Feng Zhan was held back by Xie Li, they really wouldn’t have been able to do anything to him.

Different situations, naturally different choices.

”Kid, what sorcery did you use!”

Feng Zhan was nearly going mad.

He originally thought using a Wandering Soul Stage Martial Soul to kill Ling Xiao was almost certain, but the result was completely unacceptable to him.

Not only did he fail to kill Ling Xiao, but his own Martial Soul was annihilated by Ling Xiao.

It was truly annihilated.

Just like a Martial Artist being killed!

Never to be reclaimed!

He was both angry and fearful now.

If it had been Timmerman Muto or Ji Ning on the other side, he could have accepted it, but it was just the Heavenly Man Realm Martial Artist Ling Xiao.

All intelligent beings feel fear towards the unknown.

Feng Zhan was no exception.

The ferocious fighting spirit from before had almost dissipated.

”Sorcery?”

Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully: ”Heh, what if I did use sorcery? As long as I can kill you, I will stop at nothing. Are you scared?”

”You!”

Feng Zhan really wanted to slap Ling Xiao to death.

But he dared not.

Because he was truly afraid.

He didn’t even dare to get close to Ling Xiao now.

Ling Xiao could annihilate his Martial Soul, he could definitely kill him as well.

Without figuring out what Ling Xiao had just done, he definitely wouldn’t take the risk.

”Scared? Don’t dare to come forward? Then it’s my turn to attack now!”

Ling Xiao revealed a mocking smile, looked at Xie Li and said, ”Sister Xie Li, you can rest for a bit, I’ll handle Feng Zhan.”

With that, the entire hall was immediately filled with a murderous aura, and a blood-red glow gathered simultaneously on Ling Xiao’s twin swords, his fighting spirit boiled, making his Sword Intent exceptionally fierce.
