Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1369: Chapter 1372 Interrogation of the Evildoer

”Devils! Demons!”

The assassin mumbled to himself, but he was completely deranged.

”With such poor mental resilience, how can he qualify as an assassin? I think the assassins from the Five Poisons Hall Phoenix Branch are simply useless.”

Having said that, Ling Xiao withdrew that evil aura, and then pointed a finger, executing the assassin from the Fourth Cave Sky Realm.

In theory, with his current cultivation level, killing a Cave Heaven Realm martial artist is not impossible, but it shouldn’t be so effortless.

The problem lies with his terrifying Dark Demon Sword.

That evil aura, combined with powerful soul power, can indeed corrupt people’s hearts.

”Not sparing even the insane?”

”You don’t understand a thing; that’s true benevolence. Since he’s mad, he should be killed to end his suffering. Lunatics and madmen are the most dangerous existences in our world.”

After much shock and fear, the crowd finally regained composure, speaking in whispers among themselves.

Ling Xiao ignored the discussion around him, raising his foot and walking towards Jia Tianfeng.

As for Kong Ming, he was secondary.

Settle with Jia Tianfeng first, then deal with Kong Ming.

His steps caused Jia Tianfeng to jump up like a frightened rabbit.

His prosthetic limb was surprisingly nimble; it operated without a hitch.

”Ling Xiao, don’t kill me. You can’t kill me! The Righteous Qi Alliance will definitely hunt you down. Do you think it’s worth it? Sacrificing your life for a worthless failure like me?”

Jia Tianfeng caved in.

Completely caved in.

Ling Yue Five Dogs and several assassins from the Five Poisons Hall died at Ling Xiao’s blade in an instant. What a terrifying sword technique—it’s simply chilling.

Ling Xiao didn’t respond, only smiled coldly. He wanted Jia Tianfeng to die in fear.

He never shows sympathy to his enemies.

That’s also why his enemies fear him.

Jia Tianfeng wouldn’t forget Jia Yun.

Back then, Jia Yun’s arrogance and conceit led to his demise at Ling Xiao’s hands.

Now, although he was stronger in cultivation compared to Jia Yun.

Ling Xiao had also grown even stronger.

He deeply regretted plotting to assassinate Ling Xiao.

Why had he done such a foolish thing?

Isn’t just living a good life enough?

Did he have to be the one standing out?

Oh!

Ling Xiao said, as long as I revealed the mastermind, I could live.

No, I can’t say, I can’t say.

That person is ten times more terrifying than Ling Xiao. If I reveal them, I’m sure to die.

But what should I do now? Just wait for Ling Xiao to kill me?

As he was lost and hesitant, he suddenly heard Kong Ming’s voice.

”Ling Xiao, I didn’t bribe an assassin to kill you. While I harbor hatred towards you, I wouldn’t resort to such despicable actions. Jia Tianfeng only dragged me along for courage.”

What!

This guy actually betrayed me?

Jia Tianfeng looked at Kong Ming with utter disbelief. They had agreed to face it together; how did it end up with this guy easily selling him out?

”Oh? Do you know who instigated Jia Tianfeng to hire assassins against me? I don’t need a concrete answer, just a clue will do, and I’ll spare you.”

Ling Xiao stopped and smilingly looked at Kong Ming as he spoke.

Kong Ming hesitated immediately.

”Kong Ming, don’t be stupid. If you spill, none of us will survive.”

Jia Tianfeng shouted.

”Idiot, do you think not saying anything will let us live?”

Kong Ming disdainfully glanced at Jia Tianfeng. Although the mastermind was terrifying, if he didn’t speak now, he might immediately be killed.

Thus, he had no choice but to reveal.

”Kong Ming, you’d better think it through. If you speak, not only you will die, but your entire family might be doomed.”

Jia Tianfeng added.

These words made Kong Ming freeze.

”Jia Tianfeng, do you think I wouldn’t target your relatives?”

Ling Xiao looked calmly at Jia Tianfeng and said, ”You claim to be an orphan adopted by the Jardine Clan, but I know you originally carry the Dark Phoenix surname; you’re part of the Dark Phoenix Clan. Your parents were killed by Ice Phoenix Clan members, but your grandmother still lives; she instructed you to infiltrate the Righteous Qi Alliance, waiting for revenge.

Yet you don’t plan on tackling the Ice Phoenix Clan but instead, constantly oppose me, a human from the Heavenly Dragon Continent. You’ve not only failed your grandmother’s expectations but implicated her, too.”

”You madman, you can’t touch my grandmother!”

Jia Tianfeng panicked.

”Still a filial child, aren’t you? Now you see, whether to speak or not, you’re going to die. But at least I can promise, if you speak, I can ensure your grandmother’s survival; if you don’t, she’s the first one I’ll kill.”

Ling Xiao said indifferently, as if narrating something commonplace.

”Damn, this guy is too despicable, threatening with other people’s elders.”

”Despicable my foot! When Jia Tianfeng hired assassins against Ling Xiao, wasn’t that despicable? Should good people inherently be unafraid?”

”Exactly, if Ling Xiao were a good person, a kind person, then Jia Tianfeng wouldn’t just not die—he’d continue targeting him!”

”It’s true: Ling Xiao survived until today because he lacks the fake tears of compassion and needless saintliness!”

Among the crowd, some understood.

Surviving in Jianghu, they naturally knew what kind of people endure longer and who perish the quickest.

”Alright, I’ll tell you everything!”

Jia Tianfeng finally succumbed to Ling Xiao’s eerie aura.

He planned to reveal everything and leave the rest to fate, considering Ling Xiao as someone who keeps promises—once assured he wouldn’t harm his grandmother, he certainly wouldn’t.

”Young Master Jia, there is some information you’d best keep to yourself, for nobody will be able to save you otherwise!”

As Jia Tianfeng was about to completely surrender and expose everything to Ling Xiao, a chilling voice echoed from the crowd.

Then a man slowly emerged, appearing in his forties dressed as a scholar, yet radiating an intense killing intent.

Ling Xiao slightly frowned; this person should also be a Fourth Cave Sky Realm martial artist, but his aura vastly outmatched the assassin’s.

Although they had the same cultivation level, their strengths varied due to several factors.

Martial Soul, cultivation technique, martial skills, Cave Realm—all might play a part.

Yet undeniable is the fact that cultivation isn’t the sole measure of one’s prowess.

”Manager Jia!”

Ling Xiao naturally recognized him as the head of Ling Yue Bieyuan, Manager Jia, who rarely appeared publicly, even with Emperor or Crown Prince visits.

But today, he couldn’t avoid showing up.

Because Jia Tianfeng couldn’t withstand Ling Xiao’s threat, preparing to divulge a troublesome matter.

Sighted by Manager Jia, Jia Tianfeng who was utterly desperate and ready to reveal everything to Ling Xiao instantly changed expression.

”Uncle Jia, he’s using my grandmother to threaten me; I have no intention whatsoever to say anything.”
