Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: The Slaying of Gaoyang

”Once a person dies, they have nothing left. Won’t you reconsider?”

Ling Xiao truly felt that it would be such a waste to kill Gao Yangwen; after all, Gao Yangwen was the founder of Tian Li Meng. Killing him would mean declaring enmity with Tian Li Meng.

Therefore, if it were possible to subdue this man, it would certainly be a greatly beneficial thing to do.

”You little bastard, don’t even dream about it. Brothers of Tian Li Meng, listen, even if I die, you must chase this kid to the ends of the earth and leave him with no place to bury his body!”

Gao Yangwen roared with extreme resentfulness.

”Even in the face of death, you drag Tian Li Meng down with you. You truly are selfish.”

Ling Xiao shook his head lightly and looked at the Tian Li Meng martial artists approaching him, his eyes piercing with a frigid sharpness.

”You are all valiant men; why follow a bastard who recognizes a thief as his father? Submit to me, submit to the Northern Han Kingdom. By overthrowing the True Demon Empire, you will be contributors to our victory.”

Ling Xiao was no butcher, so he would avoid killing if possible.

His words indeed made some people hesitate, but still, over a dozen martial artists from Tian Li Meng charged at Ling Xiao.

They were all Gao Yangwen’s trusted confidantes.

They were promoted solely by Gao Yangwen’s hand, and if Gao Yangwen were to die, they too would be unable to continue on.

So regardless of whether they were Ling Xiao’s match, they had to show their stance.

Ling Xiao felt no sympathy for these people.

The moment they lifted their feet, they saw a spiraling cone of reddish-gold hurtling towards them.

They wanted to dodge but were unable to.

The Crimson Sun Cone was too fast, and it even carried the oppressive force of the soul, rendering them seemingly unable to control their own bodies.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen corpses in the hall, each shot through the heart, the chest area scorched black.

Despite the intense heat of the Crimson Sun Cone, the air in the hall was extremely cold at that moment.

Many martial artists lowered their breathing, not even daring to let out a breath.

They were frightened.

They were fearful.

They were terrified by the strangeness and ruthlessness of Ling Xiao’s method of attack.

All of Gao Yangwen’s trusted confidantes were slain in battle, and the rest began to waver.

To die fighting for a man who treats a thief as his father, is it really worth it?

They were willing to sacrifice for their own ideals.

But they were not willing to sacrifice themselves for a bastard like Gao Yangwen.

”See, Gao Yangwen? Virtue is met with assistance, while evil is deserted! You’ve done too many disgusting things. Even if they fear your strength, when you’re defeated, they won’t come to your rescue, because it’s not worth it.”

Ling Xiao looked at Gao Yangwen and thrust the Golden Crow Sword towards his head.

Since Gao Yangwen was unwilling to surrender, there was no need to spare him. Otherwise, as long as this man lived, there would still be those in Tian Li Meng who could not forget him.

”Kid, I’ve told you, you can’t kill him; he’s from Blackwater Immortal Island!”

Zhan Mo was anxious; as he rushed out of the crowd, he shouted loudly.

However, Ling Xiao completely ignored Zhan Mo’s shout.

Zhan Mo was filled with violent anger; Ling Xiao had actually disrespected him so much, making him lose face in front of so many people.

By now, he had already forgotten how Gao Yangwen got injured in the first place; he thought that he could save Gao Yangwen with his own abilities.

He thought Ling Xiao wouldn’t do anything to him.

So he launched himself at Ling Xiao, attempting to block Ling Xiao’s longsword.

”Scram!”

Without looking back, Ling Xiao swung a palm behind him while his longsword pierced through Gao Yangwen’s throat.

There was no need for the Moon Lady to take action against Zhan Mo; with Butterfly Girl’s help, the job was twice as successful with half the effort.

Zhan Mo, just like the earlier Gao Yangwen, was sent flying as if struck by lightning, his face pale and spitting out fresh blood.

His eyes filled with an almost unbelievable look.

Ling Xiao actually dared to strike him.

He never imagined it.

”Ling Xiao, do you know what you’re doing? This is a provocation against Blackwater Immortal Island!”

Turning his head, Ling Xiao looked at Zhan Mo indifferently, ”Other than using Blackwater Immortal Island to pressure others, what else can you do? I’ve already killed Gao Yangwen, but don’t worry, I won’t kill you. After all, someone needs to carry the message back to Blackwater Immortal Island.”

”You...”

Listening to Ling Xiao’s dismissive remarks, Zhan Mo was so furious he nearly coughed up another mouthful of old blood.

”You better think this through. As one of the Five Immortal Islands, the mighty power of Blackwater Immortal Island is surely beyond your imagination! Offend us, and you will never have peace in the future,” Zhan Mo said coldly.

”Yes, you’re right, Blackwater Immortal Island is indeed powerful. But if I, Ling Xiao, let go of someone who tried to kill my benefactor and acknowledges a thief as his parent out of fear, then I don’t even qualify as a man!”

Ling Xiao said calmly, ”If Blackwater Immortal Island wants to shout and scream over this affair, then I can only become their enemy. As to who will be unlucky, that remains to be seen.”

”Fine, I hope you won’t turn into a shrinking turtle in the future!” Zhan Mo shouted loudly.

”Don’t worry, even if the folks from Blackwater Immortal Island don’t come after me, I have to pay a visit to Blackwater Immortal Island myself. After all, the traitor Gao Yangjun almost killed my senior brother, and I, Ling Xiao, can’t quell my anger without killing him,” Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Zhan Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, ”Good, very good. Since you have the guts, I’ll wait for you at Blackwater Immortal Island and see exactly how you’ll die!”

”If you’re done with the nonsense, then hurry up and scram, and don’t let me see you again, otherwise, I can’t say for sure if I might suddenly change my mind.”

Ling Xiao waved his hand dismissively as if driving away an annoying fly.

Clenching his teeth, Zhan Mo scurried out, fleeing without looking back.

He did not want to stay here any longer; that Ling Xiao was a madman, and Zhan Mo believed that any hesitation could have resulted in his immediate death.

Some people had already followed behind Zhan Mo.

After all, the events that had occurred here could not yet be known to the upper echelons of the True Demon Empire, at least not until they could be concealed for one night.

If Zhan Mo really decided to tattle, then he would truly be dead.

But Zhan Mo was not in the mood for that. Right now, he only wanted to escape this place, escape this nightmare.

Inside the hall.

”We greet the Chosen Son of Heaven!”

Suddenly, a group of people charged at Ling Xiao and knelt down straight before him.

”You sure know how to please, don’t you? Just a moment ago, you were so loyal to Gao Yangwen, and now you’ve switched over to pledge loyalty to me?”

Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully.

A group of people knelt on the ground, filled with regret, yet at a loss for what to do.

”Rest assured, I’m not a bloodthirsty person. You were all deceived by that Gao Yangwen.”

Ling Xiao smiled and said, ”But since you like kneeling, keep at it a little longer. Once Wu Xiang arrives, he will distribute a Medicinal Pill to each of you. Nothing bad will happen for the time being after you take it.

However, if anyone thinks of betraying me in the future, there will be no grave to bury you.”
