Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Coming to Rob

”A defense even Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists cannot break?”

Ling Xiao’s interest was piqued. Although his own defense was already strong, if it could be further enhanced, that wouldn’t be too bad. How great would it be to seize this Magical Treasure for his own use?

”Quite interesting. Where is he? I’ll find him.”

Ling Xiao had been waiting for a chance to make an example out of someone, but so far no one had dared to confront him outright. Now that he had finally encountered such an arrogant individual, he certainly wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip away.

”Are you insane? That One-Eyed Dragon is leading his men searching for you everywhere. Instead of hiding quickly, you want to go find him? Got a screw loose?”

Even though what Hua Lueying said was rather harsh, Ling Xiao could feel the sincere concern seeping through her words.

This woman claims she likes me, and it doesn’t seem like just lip service.

If it were any other woman, she would probably relish the drama in such a situation, but here she was, urging Ling Xiao to leave quickly.

”Doesn’t Commander Hua know? I have an unrefined nickname, they call me ’Madman’.”

Ling Xiao grinned, his gaze towards the distant street where dust was rising.

Here they come!

”Quick! Take refuge in the Black Python Clan. Although One-Eyed Dragon sometimes goes crazy enough to provoke even the Black Python Clan, he still retains some fear of them.”

Hua Lueying evidently noticed that One-Eyed Dragon’s men had arrived and hurriedly pushed Ling Xiao in the direction of the Black Python Clan.

However, Ling Xiao remained unflustered, smilingly said, ”Thank you for the kind thought, Commander Hua. At the very least, I know for sure that you do have good intentions towards me.”

”Heh, to still have time for lovey-dovey banter in the middle of the street, you really don’t take me seriously, do you?”

Just at that moment, a cold voice echoed through the street. The stalls on either side had long since emptied out.

The vendors had all taken shelter in safe places, peering at the battle that was about to erupt.

In Crime City, scenes like this played out almost daily, so the vendors were already accustomed to it.

To them, although these incidents were troublesome, they were also entertaining—an amusing break from the monotony of their daily lives.

Upon hearing this voice, Hua Lueying’s face stiffened. Damn it, there’s no more chance now. It seems they truly have to make enemies of the One-eyed Pirate Group today.

She had finally fallen for someone sincerely and did not want to see him killed on the streets just like that.

”Princess Emma Ya Cloud, take Ling Xiao and go. I’ll hold off One-Eyed Dragon. He has to give me some face at the very least.”

A determined look appeared on Hua Lueying’s face.

This type of woman belongs to the very straightforward kind. Once she’s set her heart on a man, she would unconditionally wish the best for him.

However, just as Hua Lueying was resolved to break completely with the One-eyed Pirate Group, she was abruptly lifted and moved aside.

”Alright, Commander Hua, it’s not yet the time for you to protect me. Just watch from the side for now.”

Ling Xiao admitted that he wasn’t strong enough yet, sometimes needing protection from others. But against One-Eyed Dragon, he was confident there was no need.

In a battle where the disparity in Cultivation Level wasn’t too great, personally taking action was the best approach.

”You’re Ling Xiao, right?”

One-Eyed Dragon asked.

”Correct, and you’re One-Eyed Dragon?”

Ling Xiao countered.

”I don’t change my name or my sitting, that’s right, I’m the ’One-Eyed Dragon’ renowned in Jianghu.”

The One-Eyed Dragon looked at Ling Xiao with a hint of disdain. Isn’t this just a greenhorn, a wet-behind-the-ears brat? He had thought he would be facing a formidable expert with the strength of a Three-headed Six-armed being.

Ling Xiao’s pupils suddenly contracted.

This One-Eyed Dragon is indeed as Hua Lueying described—a lunatic, a reckless tough, and clearly the kind that acts without regard for consequences.

How dare he call himself ’grandfather’? Who gave him such gall?

”We have no old grievances or recent enmities, and haven’t even met before. Why did you come looking for me so aggressively and malevolently? What for?”

Ling Xiao asked coldly.

”Yes, we haven’t met before. I, your grandfather, am here for nothing else but the Gluttonous Martial Soul! Hand it over nicely, and grandpa here might let you live. You go your sunny road, I’ll cross my log bridge, and from this point on, we’ll be strangers to each other. How’s that?”

”Grandpa this, grandpa that, is your family short of a grandfather? Grandson!”

Ling Xiao was truly getting angry. After all, he was only seventeen, a time when his blood ran hot, and his attitude abruptly became more aggressive.

Moreover, the other party’s threatening words were simply too disrespectful, as if he didn’t even take Ling Xiao seriously at all.

Never mind that the One-Eyed Dragon was only a Martial Artist at the full completion of the Half-step Cave Sky Realm; even if he were a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist, he should not be so rude facing Ling Xiao.

He was just asking for a beating!

”What did you say, kid? You dare to curse at your old man?”

The One-Eyed Dragon’s eyebrows furrowed. He had heard some rumors about Ling Xiao, that the kid was obstinate, headstrong, impervious to persuasion, and showed no respect to anyone.

Turns out it’s true.

”So what if I curse at you, grandson! The Gluttonous Martial Soul is now mine, Ling Xiao’s. If you truly desire it, it’s not impossible [to obtain], but you’d need to provide something of equivalent value in exchange. Otherwise, go back where you came from.”

Ling Xiao’s stance was clear. Although the son of the Tao Tie Martial Soul was powerful, it was merely icing on the cake for him, and not an absolute necessity.

If the One-Eyed Dragon could truly offer something of equivalent value, especially something Ling Xiao urgently needed, trading was not out of the question.

”Hahaha, kid, you seem to have misunderstood something, daring to negotiate with your grandpa One-Eyed Dragon?”

A sinister gleam flickered in the One-Eyed Dragon’s eyes as he burst into loud laughter: ”Of course, if you think this is a transaction, then it’s not a problem. Hand over the Gluttonous Martial Soul and then you can save your little life; now that’s a deal you’d be making a profit from.”

Upon hearing these words, many people in the crowd inwardly cursed at the shamelessness.

This is downright shameless, wanting to take someone else’s possession and yet unwilling to give anything in return.

But there was no helping it; after all, the One-Eyed Dragon was stronger, and he had the backing of the mighty One-eyed Pirate Group.

Even the Black Python Clan had to show some courtesy towards him, let alone Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao may be a young hero, but before he has fully grown, he really is not a match for these old foxes.

”Heh heh.”

Ling Xiao laughed as well, looking at the One-Eyed Dragon and saying, ”Is your brain broken? Who gave you the courage to come looking for trouble with me, relying on the mere cultivation level of the full completion of the Half-step Cave Sky Realm?

Originally, I had no grudges or enmities with you, but since you wish to kill me, then don’t blame me for not being courteous.

Now you have a choice: either turn around and scram, go back to your One-eyed Pirate Group and continue living in comfort, or stay here and die, becoming a laughing stock in Crime City!”

Although Ling Xiao spoke in a rather indifferent manner, without rage or flames, to those Martial Artists hiding in the shadows watching the excitement, they were thunderstruck.

It was indeed a shocking statement.
