Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

The Black Immortal Mountain Master couldn’t dissuade Ling Xiao and had to stand aside to watch.

However, the teasing voices around him were incessant.

”Hehehe, Black Immortal Mountain Master, your disciple has really progressed, daring to challenge someone from the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain. Do you think he can win?”

The one speaking sarcastically was the Chief of Purple Immortal Mountain.

During the last trial in the Ghost Prison, Ling Xiao stood out, but he was embarrassed, always looking down on Ling Xiao, ultimately hitting himself hard in the face.

So, he harbors a grudge against Ling Xiao.

When an opportunity to ridicule arises, how could he let it pass?

The Black Immortal Mountain Master was disturbed but couldn’t remain silent when others were talking.

He coldly said, ”Indeed, Sha Hai has reached the First Stage Second Layer Hell Mid Phase!

He has even gained the Fairy Seal, advancing greatly in both cultivation level and experience.

His strength is undoubtedly proven.

But our Black Immortal Mountain’s Ling Xiao is not to be underestimated either. Do not forget, he just killed the Demon Envoy from the Demon Shadow Sect.

Though the Demon Envoy suffered backlash and lost power, he still had the strength of a First Stage Second Layer Hell Mid Phase.

Which matches Sha Hai right now.

So in my view, at least for now, it’s too early to conclude the outcome of this battle.”

”Hahaha, Black Immortal Mountain Master, stop deceiving yourself.”

The Red Immortal Mountain Master, Chi Lian, laughed heartily and said, ”Who actually witnessed Ling Xiao killing the Demon Envoy?

None of us from the Eight Immortals Mountain saw it, and it’s said the live stream cut off at that moment. Maybe Ling Xiao used some trick.

Be realistic. One has a mid phase Hell cultivation of First Stage Second Layer.

The other, at most, is at the First Level Hell Pinnacle.

There’s a vast realm between them, Ling Xiao, no matter how formidable, cannot possibly defeat Sha Hai.

Not to mention, Sha Hai possesses the Fairy Seal.”

Chi Lian, naturally, looks down on Ling Xiao because recently she investigated secretly and learned that her daughter Red Yan Er was killed by Ling Xiao.

Though it’s merely hearsay, with no evidence, she bears a strong resentment towards Ling Xiao.

If Sha Hai could kill Ling Xiao, she would absolutely celebrate with others.

”Indeed!”

At that moment, Sha Diao walked up and said, ”Have any Mountain Masters ever heard of someone from Lower Eight Immortals Mountain defeating someone from the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain?”

The crowd fell silent.

Moments later, suddenly a voice rang out.

”Of course there was, but he is a forbidden topic.”

The Black Immortal Mountain Master said coldly.

Everyone present knew who he referred to—it was naturally the former Sect Leader Ling Yan, who once ruled the Eight Immortals Mountain.

The strongest Sect Leader in the history of the Eight Immortals Mountain.

But now, that name is forbidden from being mentioned, so the Black Immortal Mountain Master only referred to ”that person” without mentioning the name.

”Hmph, that traitor, Ling Xiao isn’t even qualified to be compared.”

Sha Diao sneered.

Although Ling Yan is called a traitor, his strength is fully acknowledged by everyone in the Eight Immortals Mountain.

That’s the terrifying aspect of Ling Yan.

”Despite sharing the surname Ling, Ling Xiao can never reach Ling Yan’s level.

That was a singular exception, apart from that person, no one else has succeeded.”

Chi Lian added.

The Black Immortal Mountain Master said nothing because he knew what they said was true.

Despite his earlier arguments, he couldn’t convince even himself.

How could Ling Xiao possibly be Sha Hai’s match?

”Black Immortal Mountain Master needn’t worry excessively; even if Ling Xiao cannot match Sha Hai, he won’t necessarily die.”

Lin Haoyu suddenly conveyed to the Black Immortal Mountain Master, ”Ruo Xian told me Ling Xiao indeed personally defeated that Demon Envoy, even if he seemed to use some kind of Magical Treasures’ power, but there was no mistake.

Moreover, just two days ago, Ling Xiao defeated a Mutated Iron-back Thorn Beast in the Second Floor of Ghost Prison.

The strength of that Mutated Iron-back Thorn Beast was comparable to Sha Hai’s.

Although comparing beasts to martial artists is inaccurate, Sha Hai is certainly several times stronger than that Mutated Iron-back Thorn Beast.

But it shouldn’t be a problem for Ling Xiao to save his life.”

”Is this true?”

The Black Immortal Mountain Master’s worried expression became slightly more relaxed.

”Unmistakable.”

Lin Haoyu nodded.

Hearing this, the Black Immortal Mountain Master sighed with a bit of relief.

His greatest worry wasn’t Ling Xiao being defeated, but Ling Xiao being killed.

In fact, as long as Ling Xiao doesn’t die, that’s enough for him.

”Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, just play along with that arrogant fellow, but absolutely don’t let him unlock the Fairy Seal; otherwise, even staying alive might be difficult for you.”

The Black Immortal Mountain Master looked towards the arena, silently praying.

”Sha Hai, the time is about right; everyone supposed to be here is already here. No matter how much you publicize it, those unwilling to come won’t show up. Hurry and end this battle, I still need to return to cultivate.”

Ling Xiao’s voice suddenly echoed in the arena.

The Black Immortal Mountain Master’s eyebrows furrowed immediately.

This kid, why is he provoking Sha Hai on purpose? Does he really want to die?

On the other side, Cheng Feiying was also very nervous.

Because today’s life-and-death duel not only concerns Ling Xiao’s life or death, but also relates to her marriage.

She has an agreement with Sha Mo Yun.

If Ling Xiao survives, she doesn’t have to marry Sha Mo Yun, as Sha Mo Yun will voluntarily forgo the marriage contract.

But if Ling Xiao is killed by Sha Hai, she must obediently marry Sha Mo Yun and never voice a word of complaint.

For Cheng Feiying, all her life’s happiness is wagered on Ling Xiao.

Yet, at this moment, she’s unsure whether what she’s doing is right.

She doesn’t understand how she could act so impulsively.

Is placing everything on Ling Xiao the right choice?

”To put it bluntly, this duel is rebellion against superiors! Ever since Ling Xiao defeated the Demon Envoy, he has become a bit arrogant.

He will surely stumble upon Sha Hai.”

Such discussions were predominant.

Ling Xiao, overhearing this, found it somewhat boring.

Otherwise, in the past, he wouldn’t have bothered with a life-and-death duel, but would’ve dealt with Sha Hai on the spot.

Looking at the still not fully recovered Feng Ru and En Renfeng, Ling Xiao felt no sympathy or pity for Sha Hai.

If this issue isn’t resolved, more problems will arise.

Not being favored is all too normal.

With his cultivation lower than the opponent’s, and lacking something like the Fairy Seal, how could he possibly win against Sha Hai?

Even those who support him would think so, because such matters are too unreliable.

”Ling Xiao! Last time in the Ghost Prison, I was deluded by demon beings, committing some regrettable acts.

Yet, you took advantage of my weakness, nearly killing me. Today, I shall redeem my honor with my own hands!”

Sha Hai, indeed, inherits the great shamelessness of the Sha Clan; when lying, he doesn’t even blush.
