Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1099: Chapter 109: Killing the Admiral

The risk of a forceful attack is too great, as Ling Xiao still does not know the true strength of the Righteous Qi Alliance.

Furthermore, if it provokes the expert from the Five Immortal Islands to come, it would be even more troublesome.

Therefore, if today’s matter can be resolved peacefully, that would be best, which is why he is flying the flag of punishing traitors, rather than rescuing Ji Ning or overthrowing the Phoenix God Empire.

Many hands make light work; nearby, a total of hundreds of Magic Arrays and Array Formations were completely destroyed in just a few minutes.

At this moment, Dark Stinger withdrew, and Ling Xiao slipped onto the city wall.

With one kick, Ling Xiao sent a soldier who initiated an attack tumbling down the wall, Moon Lady, Xie Li, and Leng Mei all took action.

”Quick, activate the Array Formation, attack!”

The Fengming Army shouted loudly.

However, the attackers were only archers, all Array Formations and Magic Arrays were completely ineffective.

Just these feather arrows, they couldn’t stop Moon Lady, Xie Li, and Leng Mei at all.

”What’s going on?”

Jia Lin, Jia Yun, and the Fengming Army were all stunned.

”Let me tell you what’s going on.”

Ling Xiao’s figure appeared on top of the city tower, leisurely watching Jia Lin speak: ”General Jia, since you’ve heard how I used the Magic Array of Northern Desert City to block the hundred-thousand strong army of the Black Crow Empire, why wouldn’t you think that I’m profoundly proficient in Magic Arrays and Array Formations?”

”Kill him!”

Jia Lin did not listen to Ling Xiao’s words, nor did he analyze what Ling Xiao meant; he just wanted Ling Xiao dead.

This guy was too terrifying, how did he silently arrive on top of the city wall without him noticing at all?

The Fengming Army was the first to charge out.

Yet, the moment he charged out, Ling Xiao pressed a sword against his throat.

Today, the Fengming Army is no match for Ling Xiao.

This man is merely a Martial Artist with Ten Directions Heavenly Cultivation, who might have been able to overwhelm Ling Xiao in the past, but today, Ling Xiao simply does not regard Martial Artists with Ten Directions Heavenly Cultivation as a threat.

”Was it you who ordered our killings?”

Ling Xiao asked coldly.

The Fengming Army froze all over.

He thought that he had never had the chance to kill Ling Xiao before, and that his strength was far stronger than Ling Xiao’s.

But only at this moment did he suddenly realize that the strength he prided himself on was utterly worthless in front of Ling Xiao.

He felt fear!

Because he thought of his daughter.

His daughter had humiliated Ling Xiao’s people in the past and even tried to kill Ling Xiao, resulting in her cultivation being crippled.

Would he also follow that old road?

”You can’t kill me!”

His previous boldness gone, his eyes now filled with terror.

Jia Lin also hurried forward, watching Ling Xiao coldly.

He and Ling Xiao, had only met twice, the last time was in Northern Desert City, where he haughtily blocked the Northern Desert Army outside the city.

At that time, Ling Xiao seemed naïve and laughable, saying he wanted to take Jiumo Zhiyan’s head.

Now here, he suddenly felt he might have severely underestimated this fellow.

This Ling Xiao could be much more terrifying and cunning than he imagined.

Suddenly, with a smile he said: ”General Ling really is formidable, but the Fengming Army is a Nine Gates Commander appointed by the Emperor. If you kill him, that would be akin to directly slapping the Emperor’s face. I think this may be a misunderstanding, General Ling with such abilities, yet didn’t let the Black Crow Empire intrude into the Imperial City, surely isn’t a traitor!”

This guy really is cunning, and because he’s shameless, he could outright say things that others can’t even bring themselves to mention.

To save the Fengming Army, he now resorted to both threats and goodwill.

Both threatening Ling Xiao with the Emperor’s tam, and showing intentions of reconciliation.

”Misunderstanding?”

Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully, ”I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding here. I, Ling Xiao, am also a commander appointed by the Emperor! Moreover, I have made great military achievements. Today, upon returning to the Imperial City, I was attacked by shameless villains. I believe even if I killed him, the Emperor would understand.”

He was not afraid of angering the Emperor at all now.

He wanted to establish his authority.

Since the Emperor already wanted him dead, what did he have to fear?

Only by showing enough strength would the other party fear him, truly fear him!

”Ling Xiao, you need to think carefully about the consequences once you act!”

General Jia shouted angrily.

Ling Xiao looked at him disdainfully and, without further useless talk, looked towards the Fengming Army, asking, ”Who ordered you to attack me?”

”It was General Jia!”

Pressed by the sharp longsword against his throat, the man from the Fengming Army had already been frightened out of his wits, dragging General Jia down with him.

”Is what he said the truth?”

Ling Xiao asked, turning to General Jia.

”That’s right, Ling Xiao, you led the Rebel Army to besiege the Imperial City. Not to mention shooting arrows, even killing you would not be a problem.”

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Ling Xiao, General Jia didn’t bother trying anymore.

After all, in his view, with his strength, killing Ling Xiao would be as easy as flipping his hand.

”It’s good that you admit it.”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and thrust his longsword, piercing the throat of the man from the Fengming Army on the spot.

Facing those who wanted to kill him, Ling Xiao would not show mercy. What did it matter if he was from the Ice Phoenix Clan?

Ling Xiao was not afraid!

Since he dared to return to the Imperial City today, he was naturally prepared for a decisive battle to the death.

”You! You’re crazy, you really dared to kill him!”

General Jia was also stunned and shouted.

”Killing a meritorious official, doesn’t he deserve to die? Killing him is not only sinless but meritorious!”

Ling Xiao looked at General Jia disdainfully and said, ”Besides, you condoned his actions, you also deserve to die. But I, the commander, am currently short on time to waste words with you. Open the gate; I can let bygones be bygones regarding the past!”

It was easy to kill someone from the Fengming Army, but killing General Jia would be troublesome.

At the very least, he was definitely not General Jia’s match and would need the Moon Lady or Xie Li to make a move.

Today, his purpose in returning to the Imperial City was not to seek revenge but to save people.

If he could save Ji Ning and others, suffering a little himself was nothing.

However, General Jia was seeking his own death.

”Hahaha, let bygones be bygones? Who do you think you are?”

General Jia burst into laughter: ”Son, haven’t you always wanted to kill this boy? Today, your father will give you that chance. Kill him, and then take his head to the Emperor for a reward.”

”Thank you, Father!”

Jia Yun revealed a ferocious smile.

He truly had dreamt of killing Ling Xiao, at Ling Yue Bieyuan, at the Imperial City Camp, even at the Northern Desert City. Ling Xiao had made him a laughingstock time and again.

He utterly hated Ling Xiao.

Moreover, he understood in his heart that Ling Xiao’s sharp energy was completely disliked by the Emperor; killing Ling Xiao would please the Emperor and not bring criticism.

”You want to kill me?”

Ling Xiao suddenly laughed.

It was as if he was listening to a hilarious joke.

”What, do you really think you’re invincible? Really think those three women can break through to the top of the city walls?”

Jia Yun looked at Ling Xiao disdainfully and said, ”I don’t need to act personally; you will die without a burial place! Someone, come arrest this traitor!”
