Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Best Sparring Partner_1

”Heh heh, this guy really has the talent to be hated by thousands, just a single sentence and he’s offended so many people!”

Ling Yixue had actually been paying attention to Ling Xiao all along.

She had been watching since Ling Xiao was very weak and still does so today.

”Senior Yi Xue, you can still laugh, that guy actually dared to use Basic Martial Arts to duel with Ling Ziran, he’s simply asking for death!”

”Not necessarily!”

Ling Yixue smiled a little, somewhat expectant now.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ling Yihang, whose eyes had been tightly shut, opened them once again, muttering to himself in surprise, ”It seems like this time the genius hall is going to be surprised, our Elite Hall might just make them lose face.”

”Good! Very good! Ling Xiao, oh Ling Xiao, you’ve got a death wish! Today I’ll let you know what true power is!”

Ling Ziran’s face was dark and terrifying, his longsword quivered in his hand, and his eyes flashed viciously.

He wanted to cripple Ling Xiao!

If it weren’t for the fact that killing was not allowed in this grand competition, he really would have killed Ling Xiao with a single strike.

”Choose a weapon!”

Ling Ziran took a deep breath and said.

”No need!”

Ling Xiao still spoke indifferently.

”Seeking death—Snake Dance Sword Technique!”

Ling Ziran let out a cold snort, and as the longsword shook gently, it instantly turned into several afterimages, like multiple poisonous snakes hissing out their forked tongues.

”’Snake Dance Sword Technique,’ an Advanced Sword Technique, eh? Looks like Ling Ziran is really angry!”

From the moment Ling Ziran made his move, he had not intended to hold back.

The most terrifying aspect of the ’Snake Dance Sword Technique’ is its ruthlessness and unpredictability, often leaving the opponent unable to anticipate from which angle the longsword will thrust.

Although this move wasn’t as imposing as those known for their brute strength, the pressure it exerted was no less than those powerful moves.

It was as if one was being targeted by countless poisonous snakes, downright chilling.

Nevertheless, strong as Ling Ziran’s sword techniques were, people were more interested in Ling Xiao.

Because everyone wanted to know if Ling Xiao was all talk or if he would actually do what he said.

He claimed he would use Basic Martial Arts, but would he really?

After all, there were no rules against such things; even if he used Intermediate or Advanced Martial Arts, no one could fault him for it.

Ling Xiao paid no attention to the stares of the crowd.

Ling Ziran truly wasn’t worth him using more advanced martial arts.

Basic Martial Arts was enough!

”Wild Ox Power!”

It was still Wild Ox Power!

In the roar, an indistinct image of a wild ox took form.

Standing there, Ling Xiao surprisingly did not plan to back down.

He was actually using Basic Martial Arts!

This guy must be insane!

”Purely seeking death!”

”Brother Ziran, don’t hold back, this guy disrespects everyone, he deserves to be crippled!”

After shock came anger.

They thought that Ling Xiao was just bragging and wouldn’t dare to do it. In that case, they could have humiliated Ling Xiao a bit.

But they hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to be so forthright.

He actually did what he said he would.

”Damn it! Get out of here!”

Ling Ziran’s face darkened to the extreme, as if he could squeeze black liquid out of his skin.

That face was truly livid to the max.

True Qi burst forth!

The longsword in his hand suddenly lost its afterimages, instead consolidating into a Giant Python!

The Giant Python roared, its sound deafening, forcing the martial artists near the Martial Arts Platform to involuntarily step back a few paces.

The air was also filled with a fierce aura.

”Beautiful!”

”With that strike, Ling Ziran has essentially brought out the essence of the ’Snake Dance Sword Technique,’ turning deceit into tremendous power.”

”Ling Xiao is just a Martial Veins Third Layer martial artist, even if he tries his hardest, he won’t be able to catch this strike, let alone the fact that he dares to use Basic Martial Arts!”

”Although Ling Xiao’s performance has been dazzling, he is too arrogant. People like him don’t live long.”

Many people were whispering and pointing, even high-grade martial artists from the clans did not look favorably upon Ling Xiao.

”Buzz—!”

Intense booming sounds erupted as Ling Ziran’s sword struck Lingxiao.

However, the scene where he imagined Lingxiao being pierced and flipped by the sword did not occur.

Lingxiao clapped his hands together, catching the blade between them.

Basic Martial Arts ”Barbaric Bull Strength” had no special moves, it was all about a method of utilising True Qi.

So punches, kicks, and palm strikes could all be employed.

”Die!”

Ling Ziran bellowed hysterically, utilizing nearly all his True Qi, pushing the power of the Snake Dance Sword Technique to its extreme.

He was a Martial Meridian Third Layer Peak martial artist.

He deployed an Advanced Martial Arts technique!

If he could not defeat Lingxiao in one move, it would be a disgrace!

”Crack!”

Lingxiao’s gaze remained focused on the longsword in Ling Ziran’s hands as he suddenly channeled True Qi into his arms.

There was a ”snap.”

The longsword in Ling Ziran’s hands actually broke.

Into seven or eight pieces!

Due to the backlash of True Qi, Ling Ziran spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering back several steps before he managed to steady himself.

Looking at Lingxiao again, he stood still, not moving an inch, without even a hint of pursuit.

”Impossible! This is impossible!”

Ling Ziran was completely flustered.

He couldn’t believe what was happening.

He had struck with full force, but not only did he fail to harm his opponent in the least, his own weapon was shattered by the other’s True Qi.

What a humiliation!

”What the hell just happened?”

The watching disciples were also stunned.

They had envisioned many possibilities, but this scene had never crossed their minds.

”Who will lend me a weapon, my sword is too shabby!”

Ling Ziran didn’t believe he would lose to Lingxiao. He attributed his failure to the longsword in his hands.

Well, that didn’t seem entirely wrong, but to absolve himself of all responsibility was somewhat shameless.

”Ling Ziran, take this!”

The first to respond was actually Ling Feng, who tossed his sword to Ling Ziran.

His sword was a Treasured Sword, far superior to the ordinary mortal longsword.

Most people might not understand why he was helping Ling Ziran.

Only Ling Feng knew clearly in his heart that he was somewhat wary of Lingxiao, so he wanted to use Ling Ziran to thoroughly probe Lingxiao’s capabilities.

”Thanks!”

Taking hold of the Treasured Sword, Ling Ziran said to Lingxiao, ”This time, you’re definitely losing!”

”Snake Dance Sword Technique·Giant Python Swallows!”

The same sword technique!

The same move!

Ling Ziran clearly intended to use the Treasured Sword in his hand combined with his own Sword Techniques to utterly defeat Lingxiao.

To be honest, the Treasured Sword in Ling Ziran’s hand was indeed impressive.

It indeed caused some trouble for Lingxiao.

But since he dared to let Ling Ziran take up a sword, he was not afraid.

”Wild Ox Power!”

No matter the fierce storm, I stand as firm as Tai Shan!

No matter how hysterical!

No matter how furiously angry!

The expression on Lingxiao’s face had not changed from the beginning, always that calm demeanor.

As if in his eyes, Ling Ziran was completely beneath his notice.

”Bang bang bang!”

Through the continuous exchange of blows, Lingxiao did not use any other Martial Arts, simply using Barbaric Bull Strength to combat Ling Ziran.

He did this to hone his own combat experience.

Having such a fine sparring partner in Ling Ziran, it would be foolish not to make the most of it.
