Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1851: Chapter 1854: Sixteen Caves, Sixteen Powerhouses

Black Wind Canyon is a very special place.

This place is swept by a mysterious black wind all year round, which is how the canyon got its name.

Within Black Wind Canyon, there are sixteen eye-catching caves.

These caves not only provide refuge from the black wind but also have abundant Immortal Qi for cultivation and rest.

This will become crucial for everyone to fight over once the Purgatory Blood Battle begins tomorrow.

Because of long exposure to the black wind, the bodies of the martial artists get tainted by it, gradually sealing away by the terrifying black energy.

All your inner strength and soul power cannot be used; only physical strength remains functional.

Besides these sixteen caves, there are also numerous inconspicuous caves on the canyon’s cliffs, which can each accommodate one to two martial artists to temporarily evade the black wind.

Of course, the evasion is only temporary. When the Purgatory Blood Battle truly starts, everyone must undergo the baptism of the black wind, otherwise, they will gain no benefits from the battle.

It is up to the participants to make their own choices.

”This cave isn’t bad, I can use it for a bit of rest.”

Tianhai Ba Tu was the first to reach Black Wind Canyon and occupied one of the caves.

The Princess Consort occupied another one.

Resting in these caves will greatly aid in tomorrow’s Purgatory Blood Battle.

Fengmo Shengjian also wanted to enter one of the caves but was abruptly blown away by a powerful palm strike.

”You think you can occupy this cave? Get lost!”

The speaker was none other than Hundred-Eyed Demon King Wu Leonard.

He occupied the third cave.

Phoenix Feiye smiled slightly and occupied a cave as well.

Then it was Zui Ling Long, Young Master Sky Wolf, Silver Wolf Princess, Fairy of Qingqiu, Green Hills Separation Fire, Lei Lie, Lei Tun, and Lei Mang.

These thirteen people each occupied one of the thirteen caves, leaving three caves unoccupied.

”Since no one is taking them, I’ll take one,” Sun Leng Chan said.

Sun Leng Chan originally intended to occupy one of the mountain caves just to rest, believing that when the Purgatory Blood Battle begins, all participants would want to enter the depths of Black Wind Canyon to seize their fate.

Getting a good cave now has two functions.

First, it allows for better rest.

Second, it displays one’s strength.

However, since there are three caves left unoccupied, Sun Leng Chan also hoped for a comfortable rest.

She soared through the air and took the fourteenth cave.

Since she acted, Mu Wan Shuang could not lag behind.

Thus, Mu Wan Shuang occupied the fifteenth cave.

The last cave was occupied by Jun Moqing of the Zhengyi Sect.

Although he was defeated by Tianhai Ba Tu, he was not weak, and occupying that cave naturally showed his confidence.

Of course, he was confident, but it doesn’t mean others were convinced.

Sun Leng Chan, Mu Wan Shuang, and Jun Moqing faced several challenges.

However, all challengers were severely injured and repelled.

If the rules hadn’t prohibited severe actions before the conference started, none of these challengers would have survived.

After these few challenges, everyone understood the strength of these three and stopped challenging them, each choosing a mountain cave for rest.

Meanwhile, numerous martial artists rushed to Black Wind Canyon, where at the top is the viewing area, offering chances to witness interesting happenings, depending on one’s skills.

Xuanwu Divine Hall only designated a spot.

”Hasn’t Ling Xiao arrived yet?”

Sun Leng Chan glanced at Mu Wan Shuang and asked.

”How would I know if he’s coming? Why bother about others?”

Mu Wan Shuang closed her eyes, nurturing herself for the big battle tomorrow.

Sun Leng Chan looked far away and sighed helplessly.

If Ling Xiao arrived late, all the mountain caves for resting might already be taken, then what could he do?

After all, the caves are limited in number. If he can’t enter one, he’d have to stay with the audience. Surely, the Immortal Qi there is not as abundant, and not as comfortable for resting.

The time ticked by second by second.

The sky was already completely dark, yet Ling Xiao and others were still nowhere to be seen.

”That guy didn’t run away, did he?”

Amongst the audience, the Temple Master of the Water Temple, Tianhai Ming Yue, asked the White Horse Kingdom’s Monarch with a grim expression.

”If that’s the case, our arrangements would be wasted. We spent a lot of spirit stones just to have that guy killed.”

The White Horse Kingdom’s Monarch didn’t look too pleased either.

”Rest assured, everyone, that person will definitely come. He dared to attack the Cangjing Family; do you really think he wouldn’t come here to die?”

The speaker was a young woman.

She seemed to be in her early thirties, and her attire indicated she was a martial artist of the Sky Demon Sect.

”That’s true. Anyway, the conference hasn’t started yet. I don’t believe he won’t show up tomorrow.”

So, these three kept their eyes wide open all night, wearing themselves out, yet Ling Xiao never showed up, nor did any of his friends.

By the next morning, half an hour remained before the Purgatory Blood Battle began.

Finally, a group of martial artists flew from the horizon.

The leader was none other than Ling Xiao.

On Ling Xiao’s side stood Demon Sword and Hong Qi, who were destined to come, given that Ling Xiao had become a target.

What they feared were the clan leaders of the Four Great Clans, and experts in the Reincarnation Realm seeking trouble for Ling Xiao.

At that time, they’d have to step in.

”Black Wind Canyon truly lives up to its reputation.”

Ling Xiao stepped through the sky, looked down, and inside the canyon, the gale was rampant, with winds turned black, inducing a deep sense of dread.

”Indeed, it’s said that whoever falls into Black Wind Canyon will have their cultivation sealed quickly, unable to use their inner strength and soul power.”

Ji Luoyu said with apprehension.

”Choosing such a place for the first Purgatory Blood Battle, interesting.”

Ling Xiao had been contemplating how to deal with Tianhai Ba Tu or Phoenix Feiye’s assassinations if he joined the Purgatory Blood Battle.

After all, his cultivation level was still far behind those two.

But now, he wasn’t worried at all.

If the inner strength and soul power are sealed, it would be an advantage for him.

”Master, all sixteen caves are occupied, and all mountain caves are full as well. What should we do?”

Leng Mei looked over there and asked.

”Does it matter?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”I don’t know; even Sun Leng Chan doesn’t know all the details of the Purgatory Blood Battle’s rules. Only the people from Xuanwu Divine Hall would know in detail.”

Ji Luoyu shook her head.

”Since we don’t know, let’s make others move.”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, knowing this was the Purgatory Blood Battle, not a place for etiquette.

Even though there’s less than half an hour left for the White Tiger Summit’s Purgatory Blood Battle to start.

But he felt that those caves and mountain caves were definitely not simple and couldn’t possibly be placed there for no reason.

Seizing them was undoubtedly better than not having them.
