Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1196: Chapter 196: The Power of the Ghostly Shadow

”Courting death! He’s definitely going to be poisoned to death on the spot by Clan Elder Mang Xiao’s venom, this bastard, daring to face two powerhouses at the same time!”

The Martial Artists of the Black Python Clan were infuriated; Ling Xiao actually dared to take on two at the same time.

”Such a shame to die so young, I can hardly bear to watch.”

Among the crowd, Hua Lueying shook her head helplessly.

She had thought Ling Xiao was a smart person, but now it seemed that Ling Xiao’s brain wasn’t as clever as she had imagined, instead he was an utterly foolish guy.

If it were her, she wouldn’t dare to confront both Mo Shao You and Mang Xiao at the same time.

It might be possible to defeat them one by one, and that would be the smartest approach.

In fact, many among the crowd shared Hua Lueying’s thoughts; most of them thought this way.

That’s why Mang Tian didn’t plan to take action; his arms crossed in front of his chest, just waiting to reap the fruits of victory.

Indeed, how could a young Martial Artist with no reputation in Crime City possibly retreat unscathed from a combined strike of the Life-taking Sword and the young Clan Elder of the Black Python Clan?

The only question now was whose hands Ling Xiao would die at.

Regardless of how the people around discussed, Ling Xiao’s expression remained calm throughout, only lifting the corners of his mouth into a cold smirk when those two closed in on him.

That was the smile before killing someone.

It was a deathly smile.

”Go to hell, I hate your smile!”

Anger and bone-chilling coldness pulsed through Mo Shao You’s voice, as rolling waves of Sword Intent surged relentlessly toward Ling Xiao, unleashing at that moment his most formidable Sword Intent.

In the air, a slender black sword pierced through layers of obstructions, finally arriving in front of Ling Xiao, aiming directly toward his throat.

”Truth be told, I also find your smile quite unlikable! Go down and keep my subordinates company.”

Almost at the same time, Mang Xiao launched his attack.

The Giant Python opened its Blood Bowl, deathly toxins completely enveloping Ling Xiao’s body.

For a moment, people could no longer see Ling Xiao’s figure.

Only the massive phantom of the black python deeply trembled everyone’s hearts.

”Die!”

The voice of Ling Xiao was clear and indifferent, as if he was undertaking a mundane task.

In that instant, his killing intent vanished completely.

Those with keen eyesight would notice that the killing intent had fully merged into the Ghost Shadow Sword in his hands.

This was his first time using the Ghost Shadow Sword.

Yet he handled it as if it were second nature.

A seemingly ordinary strike carried a terrifying force capable of annihilating everything.

In that instant, both Mang Xiao and Mo Shao You, who were almost within reach, revealed expressions of terror.

They were scared!

Scared in the instant before contact was made.

Ling Xiao’s body did not move, just his Ghost Shadow Sword suddenly thrust out.

In an instant, it was nearly impossible to see how he wielded the sword.

At the same time, the attacks from Mang Xiao and Mo Shao You had also fallen.

”Pfft!”

Blood spattered, organs shattered, and Mo Shao You, who bore the brunt, was impaled by his own black sword, a wound as large as an adult’s head gaping shockingly in his chest.

”Bang!”

Mang Xiao did not fare much better than Mo Shao You; he too was sent flying, vomiting blood profusely.

But he was luckier, wearing a powerful Defensive Magical Treasure that prevented him from being killed by a single sword stroke like Mo Shao You.

For a long time, the air was deathly silent.

”He’s dead! Mo Shao You is dead!”

Finally, a ghastly wail shattered the silence in the air, a sound filled with terror and utter disbelief.

”So it wasn’t an illusion after all, Mo Shao You really died, killed by his own sword?”

No wonder they were so astonished, no wonder they thought it was a hallucination.

The renowned Life-taking Sword, Mo Shao You of Blue Wave Island, the third-ranked young warrior, had met an unbelievable demise in such a muddled fashion.

The Life-taking Sword that had just been full of might and overbearing presence, had now become a sword of death.

And Ling Xiao was completely unharmed.

”You! You actually killed Brother Mo, you’re insane! You will definitely die, you will be torn apart by our Island Master!”

The youthful girl of Blue Wave Island screamed out loud, her finger shakily pointing at Ling Xiao as if she had lost her mind.

Back on Black Street, she kept provoking and mocking Ling Xiao.

At that time, Ling Xiao didn’t care, as he had seen many women lacking insight like her before, so he didn’t get upset.

But now, he would no longer tolerate this woman’s wanton insults towards him.

”You people should have died back on Black Street! I was more merciful, giving you a chance to start over!”

Ling Xiao suddenly stepped forward, the Ghost Shadow Sword in his hand flickered, and the Golden Crow Soaring Sky launched forth.

The control of his power was just perfect, not harming the people around, yet enough to cripple everyone from Blue Wave Island.

He didn’t kill these people because they did not make a move against him.

Although Ling Xiao was ruthless, he was also a man of principle.

The Golden Crow Eclipse executed with the Ghost Shadow Sword was entirely different from that of the Golden Crow Sword.

The Ghost Shadow Sword was a soft sword, releasing a Golden Crow that was faint and elusive, like a ghost, mysterious and unpredictable, and even harder to defend against.

In terms of power, it was also superior.

This was probably why the realm of the soft sword was higher than that of the rigid sword.

”No—!”

The disciples of Blue Wave Island desperately fled outwards, it was just too bad that the ghostly Golden Crow was faster than them, instantly enveloping their bodies, and then those people were seen collapsing weakly to the ground.

Although they were not dead, their Heavenly Pulses were all destroyed; at this moment, they were no different from ordinary people, and to reach today’s realm again, they would have to start cultivation anew.

That will be another painful experience.

”Incredible!”

”What kind of sword technique is that? Has he also reached the realm of Unpredictable Soft Sword?”

Among the crowd, countless people exclaimed in admiration.

In just a moment, Mo Shao You died, and all the disciples of Blue Wave Island were crippled.

All of this happened right before their eyes, so clear, so real, they couldn’t disbelieve even if they wanted to.

Now when they think about it, their previous thoughts were indeed laughable.

Mo Shao You and Mang Xiao actually delusively plotted to join hands to kill Ling Xiao?

They thought those two had a sure win, but the bloody reality told them that their eyes were only meant for exhaling air.

In a twinkling, Mo Shao You died tragically, and Mang Xiao also seemed to be wounded.

Yet Ling Xiao still stood there, completely unscathed, with the Ghost Shadow Sword in his hand exuding a terrifying murderous aura.

At this moment, they truly realized that Ling Xiao was not a madman.

He was not a fool either.

He dared to disrespect Mo Shao You and Mang Xiao because he possessed a strength even more terrifying than the joint effort of those two.

This fellow was simply too monstrous.

”Terrifying! This is a true genius, when did such a fearsome genius arise on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, surpassing the strength of both Mo Shao You and Mang Xiao, could he be one of the Phoenix Sons from the Phoenix God Empire?

Or perhaps a Star of Calamity from the Black Crow Empire?”
