Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1362: Elite Assassin

”Are you really planning to fight that frog in the well?”

Phoenix Immeasurable asked.

”No need. I’ve already contacted Ying Tian Xia, and His Majesty is aware. Ying Tian Xia is someone solely devoted to martial arts but despises evil fiercely. After hearing about Ling Xiao, he headed to Qingxu College. It won’t be long before Ling Xiao is in Ying Tian Xia’s hands.”

Ying Tian Xia, a Third Cave Sky Realm Martial Artist, ranked eighth among the Thunderhawk Princess’s Ten Phoenix Sons.

Shanɡ Guan Hong once considered challenging him but eventually decided against it. Even someone as proud as him feared provoking Ying Tian Xia.

It’s because Ying Tian Xia is a martial fool, someone who has mastered martial skills to perfection.

In short, Ying Tian Xia is very formidable, much more powerful than Shanɡ Guan Hong.

Therefore, Phoenix Wushan believes that even if Ying Tian Xia can’t defeat Ling Xiao, he can dampen Ling Xiao’s spirit.

Furthermore, it can exhaust Ling Xiao a bit, making some plans easier to execute.

Ying Tian Xia indeed went to Qingxu College and left a message, ”If Ling Xiao has the courage, he can come to challenge me anywhere, anytime!”

After that, he left decisively.

However, he left a terrifying eagle claw mark at the scene, directly imprinted on a giant stone outside Qingxu College.

This giant stone is often used by the disciples to test their palm strength. Due to its peculiar material, it usually remains unharmed. The disciples take pride in leaving palm prints on it.

Yet today, Ying Tian Xia created a three-inch deep claw print with a single strike, a sight never seen since this giant stone was placed there.

Even during Qingxu College’s most prosperous times, no disciple ever achieved this.

The power of Ying Tian Xia’s claw is evident.

Of course, at this moment, Ling Xiao was still at Imperial Capital Square, unaware of the situation.

Upon returning to Qingxu College, as he heard about it, he smiled faintly and said, ”If he doesn’t come, I’ll go find him.”

A challenge doesn’t necessarily mean a deadly battle; dealing with different people requires different approaches.

There’s no deep-seated hatred between Ling Xiao and Ying Tian Xia, hence challenging Ying Tian Xia only aims to defeat the Ten Phoenix Sons.

As for that claw print,

Ling Xiao chuckled softly, pointing lightly with one finger. Without even touching the giant stone, a hole appeared on it.

The hole was nearly four to five inches deep, emitting thin wisps of black smoke.

Upon witnessing this, the disciples of Qingxu College, initially worried, felt relieved once more.

Ling Xiao paid no further heed to this matter.

The challenge with Ying Tian Xia could be postponed because he felt his cultivation level was about to achieve a breakthrough. Next up, prioritizing cultivation was crucial.

He had already issued the challenge, though only verbally, but to defeat the Ten Phoenix Sons, he must become stronger.

His current cultivation level was absolutely inadequate.

Moreover, the events of last night made him acutely aware of the looming threat; he absolutely couldn’t let his guard down.

Returning to his room, Ling Xiao sat down cross-legged, and began cultivating.

Leng Mei sat outside the door, protecting Ling Xiao.

Having committed a mistake once, she was determined not to repeat it.

Last night, not being by Ling Xiao’s side, she nearly made a grave error, a matter weighing heavily on her mind.

”Senior Brother Ling, Vice Dean Feng invites you!”

Outside, a voice abruptly rang out.

It was a junior disciple of the college, a voice very familiar.

Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, although cultivation is important, meeting Feng Qingyan is necessary.

”Lead the way then!”

Ling Xiao stepped out the door and spoke to the junior disciple.

The person walked in front, heading towards Feng Qingyan’s room.

Qingxu College is built upon the mountain, with beautiful scenery, but now with fewer students, it appears much quieter.

Along the way, only the junior disciple, Ling Xiao, and the trailing Leng Mei were present.

Approaching Feng Qingyan’s residence, the junior disciple glanced back at Leng Mei and smiled wryly, ”Senior Brother Ling, Vice Dean only mentioned seeing you, not Leng Mei.”

”Leng Mei, wait here. I’ll be back soon.”

Ling Xiao glanced at Leng Mei and said, ”You can’t follow me to the restroom, can you?”

Leng Mei blushed and said, ”Alright, my lord, I’ll wait here. Notify me immediately if anything happens.”

”Certainly.”

Ling Xiao nodded and followed the junior disciple forward, soon entering the room, disappearing from Leng Mei’s sight.

Inside, Feng Qingyan was sitting there, a few books on the table, casually flipping through them.

”Ling Xiao, you’re here, please sit.”

Feng Qingyan gestured invitingly, then instructed the junior disciple, ”Go brew some tea for Ling Xiao, the best tea.”

”Yes, Vice Dean.”

The junior disciple left.

Ling Xiao didn’t sit but approached the table, nearing Feng Qingyan with a smile and said, ”Vice Dean Feng, I’m cultivating. If there’s anything you need, can you say it directly?”

”Directly?” Feng Qingyan paused before saying, ”Alright then.”

He also stood up and gently reached out to tap Ling Xiao’s shoulder.

At that instant, Ling Xiao’s finger had already pierced his throat.

”Why? Why!”

Despite having his throat pierced, the person could still speak, retreating swiftly with a terrifying aura suddenly erupting.

”Why?”

Ling Xiao sneered, ”Your disguise skills are impressive; honestly, I almost fell for it. But you probably didn’t know, did you? For any martial artist regardless of cultivation, there’s no secret before me!

Vice Dean Feng Qingyan is already a Half-step Yin Yang Realm expert, while you are merely a Second Cave Sky Realm martial artist. How could you compare?”

”But how do you dare to kill me? What if this is just Vice Dean Feng Qingyan playing a little joke with you?”

The assassin felt his throat continually tearing, decaying.

The terrifying temperature caused his vitality to drain rapidly.

He was extremely frightened and very surprised.

He didn’t understand why he was exposed, nor how Ling Xiao dared to act so decisively.

”Feng Qingyan wouldn’t be as foolish as you. To impersonate him, you should know that such jokes are inappropriate before me.”

Ling Xiao said with disdain.

”Haha, such a mistake!”

The supposedly foolproof assassination was exposed even before execution, the assassin’s false face revealed a regretful expression.

”You deserve to die!”

Ling Xiao’s figure flickered, instantly closing in on him, releasing terrifying high heat from his hand, causing the assassin’s body to quickly ignite.

”Senior Brother Ling, what are you doing? You’re mad!”

Outside, the junior disciple carrying the tea barged in, dropping the teacup and kettle on the ground, wearing an incomprehensible expression of horror towards Ling Xiao.

”It’s just an assassin in disguise, not Vice Dean Feng Qingyan.”

Ling Xiao said calmly.

He then clapped his hands lightly, and the assassin was burnt to nothing, not even ashes.
