Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1985: Chapter 1988: Lei Lie Dies in Battle, Tiger King Loses an Arm

Sometimes, in the eyes of martial artists, elevating martial arts techniques is even more challenging than improving one’s cultivation level.

Therefore, most martial artists will never cultivate a martial art to the Transcendental Realm; reaching Perfection or even the Great Success Realm is already satisfying for them.

More martial artists simply elevate this realm to Mastery before choosing new martial arts to pursue.

It’s not that they are unwilling to continue elevating; it is just that advancing each realm is exceedingly difficult.

Beginner Stage, Small Success, Mastery Level, Great Success, Perfection, Transcendental Realm!

Few people have truly experienced and are familiar with all six of these stages.

From Beginner Stage to Small Success is nothing, but from Small Success to Mastery, the improvement between them is indeed too substantial.

Techniques at the Small Success level are like wooden swords when facing techniques at the Mastery Level, similar to iron swords if the strength of both parties is similar, the huge disadvantage is irreparable.

And now on stage, Ling Xiao’s overpowering Sword Intent undoubtedly proves this point.

An iron sword cuts a wooden sword without any obstruction.

No matter how many Sword Qi you possess, it makes no difference.

”Ah...”

The moment the Blood Sun Sword’s light dimmed, a desperate scream echoed from the stage.

In the lamp’s glow, people stared at the stage intently.

The piercing scream obviously came from Lei Lie’s mouth.

Dead!

He just died like that!

People were horrified to discover that Lei Lie’s body had been split in half by a single sword.

Though his body was bisected, this former prodigy, the strongest and most outstanding genius of the White Tiger Empire, still maintained brief consciousness.

A phantom-like shadow in disbelief watched the scene below from above his corpse.

As if he still couldn’t believe that Ling Xiao had killed him, and that his death was so effortless.

The atmosphere seemed frozen.

People didn’t dare breathe heavily.

On the stage, all Sword Qi had dissipated, Ling Xiao withdrew the Blood Sun Sword, stood there calmly, and coldly observed the corpse on the ground.

While opposite, Lei Lie’s death was incredibly tragic.

This made people almost unable to believe; was this the same ambitious, towering genius martial artist?

In an instant, Lei Lie, who was willing to start anew and striving to find ways to defeat Tianai Ba Tu, had turned into a speechless corpse.

How regrettable.

The White Tiger Continent’s true top-tier genius has fallen.

Such is reality.

Tiger King seemed to age considerably in an instant; his son who excited and filled him with pride just died so miserably at Ling Xiao’s hands.

He was his most outstanding son, yet he died just like that.

He hated it!

”Roar——!”

A terrifying roar echoed throughout Surprise Thunder City, Tiger King vented all his rage through that angry roar.

”Wu Long, Princess Consort, Fairy of Qingqiu, Little Dot plus this Lei Lie, there are already five top-tier talents fallen at Ling Xiao’s hands.”

”Yes, not counting Green Hills Separation Fire crippled by Ling Xiao, Young Master Sky Wolf, Silver Wolf Princess, Zui Ling Long easily defeated by Ling Xiao.

If you include them, Ling Xiao alone has defeated nine of thirteen top-tier warriors!”

”Lei Tun, Lei Mang has been killed, but they were certainly not Ling Xiao’s opponents.

If the so-called thirteen top-tier warriors want to restore their reputation, only the unparalleled Twin Stars could achieve it.”

People looked at Phoenix Feiye and Tianai Ba Tu.

If these two were also unable to stop Ling Xiao, then surely he will be the most fearsome dark horse of this White Tiger Summit.

Also, the most dazzling demonic star!

After defeating Lei Lie, Ling Xiao secured a top-four finish, something most people likely hadn’t anticipated before the tournament.

”Lei Lie, you absolutely shouldn’t have continued attacking after my brother Joshua Long admitted defeat.

You made your choice, so you must accept the consequence of death!”

Ling Xiao turned and walked toward his seat, his chilling voice seemed to explain to everyone why he executed Lei Lie without mercy.

Lei Lie could defeat Joshua Long, even severely injure him, but he should never have attacked Joshua Long outside the rules.

Ling Xiao killed him, for this very reason.

”Then after you killed Lei Lie, are you prepared to be killed as well?”

Tiger King’s voice rumbled at Ling Xiao like a beast’s roar from the sky.

”Of course.”

Ling Xiao raised his eyes to Tiger King and said: ”I’ve already prepared to be hunted by you, but have you prepared yourself?”

He returned the question to Tiger King.

”What preparations should I make?”

Tiger King was puzzled.

”If you strike at me, it means standing completely against me, becoming my enemy; then you must prepare for your White Tiger Empire to be annihilated, and I, Ling Xiao, am one who seeks vengeance relentlessly.

Your empire’s noble royal family, I won’t leave a single one of them.

Even if I don’t kill, I’ll make them slaves for life!

Hope you remember!”

Ling Xiao’s words fell like a hammer, showing no fear because the opponent was Tiger King.

”How dare you threaten me?”

Tiger King didn’t expect Ling Xiao to threaten him.

”It’s not a threat, just a reminder; if you know me, you should understand my nature.”

Ling Xiao replied calmly.

”No need for investigation, since you’ve said this much, then I shall announce before everyone that my White Tiger Empire declares war against the Heavenly Dynasty Empire! Swear to destroy the Heavenly Dynasty Empire!”

Tiger King couldn’t possibly fear Ling Xiao; faced with Ling Xiao’s reminder, not only did he refuse to concede, but he became even angrier and more irritable, wanting to vent his rage entirely on Ling Xiao and Heavenly Dynasty Empire’s martial artists.

”Xuan Ming, One Brow! Those folks have been eliminated; can I kill them?”

Tiger King abruptly looked toward Fengming Lian, Ji Luoyu, Mo Yu, and Zhu Shao Cong, who were staying with Hong Qi and the Wine Demon Sword.

”Yes.”

Xuan Ming nodded.

One Brow Daoist remained silent, tacitly consenting.

They would prevent Tiger King from executing Ling Xiao but wouldn’t stop him from eliminating those martial artists who had already been eliminated.

”Good!”

Tiger King shouted, breaking through the void, terrifying tiger claws reached for Ling Xiao’s friends.

”Ah——!”

However, awaiting Tiger King was a Sword Light that could rupture the heavens.

Tiger King screamed in greater agony than Lei Lie.

His right arm had been chopped off directly.

The Wine Demon Sword intervened.

He’s no match for Xuan Ming but is stronger than Tiger King, coupled with a surprise attack, Tiger King was injured, quite naturally.

”Who are you?”

Tiger King, bleeding from his wound, roared furiously.

”Wine Demon Sword!”

The Wine Demon Sword replied indifferently: ”Although I’ve had no grievances with your White Tiger Empire recently or in the past, unfortunately, the people you want to kill are the ones I choose to protect.

Today severing your arm is a warning that your White Tiger Empire hasn’t reached the point of being unbridled.”

”Fine, I’ll remember you!”

Tiger King did not strike again, but retreated to heal.

In his view, the severed arm could be reattached in time and heal completely.
