Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: Tian Peng Doomsday

In times of crisis, so-called sworn brothers prove themselves to be devoid of any humanity.

Jia Tianfeng sneered, ”Harry Peng, don’t lecture us. When Mingxing Crown Prince was killed earlier, none of us saw you making a move either. The wise adapt to the times. Ling Xiao is stronger than all of us—that much is clear. But you made a foolish decision, so you can’t blame us for that.”

”That’s right. You made the mistake; there’s no reason for us to take the blame for you.”

Kong Ming nodded in agreement.

”Cowards! Traitors!”

Harry Peng could only roar, ”If I, Harry Peng, survive today, I will kill you both!”

While the three of them snapped at each other like rabid dogs, Ling Xiao watched coldly from the sidelines. This was what they called sworn brothers?

They were nothing more than a band of hangers-on, bound together when there was profit to be gained, ready to scatter as soon as trouble arose.

Ling Xiao would never associate with people like them. If his friends were such people, he would have abandoned them long ago.

That’s why, whenever Ling Xiao found himself in danger, there were always people willing to help him.

Because when others were in peril, he would extend his hand to them, even at the cost of his own life.

”Harry Peng, stop struggling. Today, you will die!”

Ling Xiao had wanted to kill Harry Peng for a long time. Half a year ago, he lacked the strength to do so and didn’t want to borrow the assistance of Moon Lady and Leng Mei.

Now, not only did he possess the necessary strength, but after what Harry Peng had done to him today, he naturally wouldn’t show any mercy.

His footsteps moved forward slowly, the icy killing intent forming into an invisible Giant Sword, pointing directly at Sky Roc Prince Harry Peng.

”No, you can’t kill me! You can’t! I’ll give you anything you want—everything!”

Harry Peng shook his head, retreating step by step. His fear had reached its peak, so much so that at this moment, he would truly do anything Ling Xiao asked, just to survive.

”It’s useless. When I first arrived in the Phoenix God Empire, you tried to kill me multiple times. Back then, I was not your equal, so I didn’t retaliate.

You shouldn’t have provoked me again. This path of death—you chose it yourself. When you die, don’t blame me!”

Ling Xiao spoke calmly, explaining his reasons for killing Harry Peng.

His steps continued forward.

At that moment, Harry Peng suddenly transformed, extending his eagle wings and soaring into the sky, his speed as fast as lightning.

”Hahaha, did you really think you could kill me? I may not be your match in combat, but my speed far surpasses yours.”

From the sky, Harry Peng burst into laughter, revealing that his earlier display of fear had been a complete act.

This man had been waiting for Ling Xiao to show even a sliver of negligence, at which moment he would make his escape.

Now, he thought he had succeeded.

Ling Xiao’s lips curved into a cold smile.

Speed?

Was there anyone faster than Ling Xiao within the Cave Heaven Realm?

Eighth Mystery of Light—Wings of Light!

During the past six months, Ling Xiao had comprehended the Light and Shadow Mystique to the tenth step!

Many of these Mystiques were derived from his natural advantages.

For instance, the Wings of Light and Dark Wings from the ninth Mystique owed their creation to Ling Xiao’s unique strengths.

The Wings of Light unfurled, two pairs of radiant golden wings piercing through the Dome of Heaven in an instant.

That wasn’t a man.

It was pure light.

In the blink of an eye.

Sky Roc Prince felt a sharp pain between his brows.

And then his consciousness began to fade, as his body plummeted rapidly from the sky.

At this moment, he finally understood—Ling Xiao’s power had reached a level capable of crushing the First Cave Heaven Realm.

As for Ling Xiao’s exact Cultivation Level, it remained an enigma.

Harry Peng would never know that killing him and those Righteous Divine Guardians today was merely Ling Xiao testing his moves. His true trump cards were all left unused.

Those trump cards were reserved for dealing with enemies like Sword Demon—far stronger adversaries.

On foes like Harry Peng, they would have been wasted.

Bang!

Harry Peng’s corpse finally hit the ground. Though his robust body didn’t shatter, he had long since lost his life.

The Great Roc’s feathers scattered in the sky, carrying a sense of desolation.

Sky Roc Prince—dead!

Ling Xiao had killed two Phoenix Sons in a single day!

This was absolutely earth-shattering news in the Phoenix God Empire!

It was monumental!

The spectators trembled in their hearts. When they looked at Ling Xiao, their gazes were filled not only with awe but also with bewilderment.

Ling Xiao’s power far exceeded what they could have imagined.

Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming had already quietly slipped away.

Their escape today was a humiliation.

They swore to get revenge during the Dragon Phoenix Selection or at the White Tiger Summit.

Or perhaps, they’d resort to extreme measures to ensure Ling Xiao’s early demise.

Since they couldn’t beat him head-on, they would resort to underhanded tactics.

...

Outside the Divine Phoenix Imperial City, three riders approached at breakneck speed.

Their speed was astonishing, sweeping through like a gale.

The mounts were rare and priceless beasts.

Upon the beasts were a man and two women.

If Ling Xiao were here, he would recognize them as Fengming Xiao, Medicine King Sun Ran, and Little Medicine King Ji Luoyu.

”Up ahead lies the famous foreign trade marketplace outside the Imperial Capital. If the two of you are interested, you can take a look around—there’s no rush to enter the city.”

It was still early, so Fengming Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to return.

She had traveled a great distance from the White Tiger Continent and spared no expense in inviting Medicine King Sun Ran to the Divine Phoenix Imperial City. Part of her reason was to have him refine pills to help her future son-in-law, Ji Mingxing, break through to the Cave Heaven Realm.

Another reason was to have Sun Ran oversee Phoenix God College and revitalize its devastated pill market.

Hence, she was very polite toward the two.

Although the Holy Light Baptism had caused her to sever familial ties, anything beneficial to the Empire would still receive her proper attention.

”Alright, let’s take a look then.”

The three dismounted their beasts and walked through the marketplace, marveling at the many curious objects on display.

”Fascinating. The goods from the Heavenly Dynasty Empire are truly intriguing. Ling Xiao is quite talented—not so much in Cultivation Level, but in clever tricks, he’s first-rate.”

As they strolled through the market, the trio noticed many stalls run by merchants from the Heavenly Dynasty. Their goods were visibly more innovative than others, drawing brisk business.

When they asked these merchants, they all claimed that their Heavenly Emperor had designed these items and offered the schematics for free, allowing them to produce and sell them.

Medicine King Sun Ran felt a tinge of emotion upon seeing this.

Back in Crime City when he had first encountered Ling Xiao, his impression of the man wasn’t particularly favorable. Seeing how revered Ling Xiao was among Heavenly Dynasty merchants now only deepened his unease.

Thus, he hastily purchased two items before preparing to enter the city.

However, just as they took a few steps, the marketplace was suddenly thrown into chaos. A storyteller had stepped up onto a platform, loudly proclaiming, ”Ladies and gentlemen, today I will recount not some old story from ages past nor a tale from distant lands, but rather, an earth-shattering event that occurred in our Imperial Capital earlier today!”

”Oh, come on! What major event could happen in the Imperial Capital? If anything qualifies, it’s the wedding of Ji Mingxing and Fengming Lian, isn’t it? But even that is just the affair of the rich and powerful. It has nothing to do with us common folk!”

Someone in the crowd sneered dismissively.
