Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Killing in Anger_1

Swoosh!

Ling Xiao flew out of the practice room and arrived in the courtyard.

After all, there was no sparring partner in the practice room, and he was eager to test to what extent the ”Ox Demon Technique: Meteor Evil Fist” at the Transcendental Realm had reached.

Boom!

With just a casual punch, a decorative rock in the courtyard was directly shattered.

This power was comparable to the full-force blow of the fourth level demonic beast he had encountered in the Fulong Mountain Range.

”Not bad, my attack is much stronger than that of an average martial artist with Martial Vein Quadruple Layer. If I can fuse it with Martial Dao Will, the power will increase even further. With this, my hopes for reaching the top three in the finals are even greater!”

The might of that punch gave Ling Xiao an immense sense of satisfaction.

Advanced Martial Arts that have reached the Transcendental Realm, their offensive power is probably not inferior even to the most basic pinnacle-level martial arts.

Hong Qi looked at Ling Xiao in the courtyard with a satisfied smile on his face.

Suddenly, he pulled out a book from his sleeve. It was a bit tattered but relatively intact.

”It seems like it’s time to give this thing to the kid. I thought he would never need it in his lifetime, but never expected his strength to improve so rapidly.”

Just as he was about to call for Ling Xiao, a commotion came from outside.

Ling Fei rushed in, shouting loudly, ”Ling Xiao, something has happened, a little beggar is looking for you!”

Upon hearing ”little beggar,” Ling Xiao instantly thought of his childhood companions with whom he used to beg for food and quickly rushed outside.

Outside stood a beggar boy younger than Ling Xiao, only about six or seven years old, covered in blood.

”Brother Ling Xiao, Grandfather Hong, please hurry and save everyone. If you don’t go now, they’ll all be dead!”

Ling Xiao didn’t ask any further questions, leaving Hong Qi to take care of the little beggar, before he soared into the air, not attempting in the slightest to conceal his light-work skill.

The ”Soaring Cloud Step: Transforming Flood Dragon” was fully deployed, incredibly fast.

Ling Fei stood dumbfounded, watching the figure that zipped away like lightning, mumbling to himself, ”Compared to him, my light-work skill is like a frog in the bottom of a well.”

It didn’t take long for Ling Xiao to arrive at their Beggar’s Sect gathering place outside Tianfeng City, in a dilapidated temple.

”Beggar’s Sect” was merely a group of poor beggars who banded together to beg for more food and help each other.

When he arrived at the temple, the ground was strewn with fresh blood, and corpses lay scattered all around.

”Gouzi! Gouzi, wake up!”

”Radish Head! Didn’t you say you wanted to be my wife when we grew up?”

”Uncle Six Fingers! You can’t die, I promised to give you a good life after becoming rich!”

”Uncle Luo Guo! Grandpa Blind Man! Shi Dunzi! All of you, ah—! Who is it, who did this!”

More than twenty people, apart from the one who ran to send the message, none survived, all brutally murdered.

For what?

Ling Xiao’s eyes turned red, he had never felt such an urge to kill as he did now!

Huh? That is...

Ling Xiao noticed some footprints, then stamped his foot and sped up in pursuit.

At this moment, on the road leading to Tianfeng City, a few people were walking along, talking and laughing with bloodstains on their clothes.

One of them was none other than Li Xingyun, whom Ling Xiao had encountered in the Fulong Mountain Range.

”Senior Brother Cloud Collins, congratulations on your Wild Wind Sword reaching great success. That one strike killed more than twenty people, so impressive!”

”They were just over twenty beggars, nothing noteworthy.”

Li Xingyun laughed, a trace of pride on his face.

”Senior Brother Cloud Collins, now that not only has your Wild Wind Sword reached great success, but also your strength has broken through to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer, if you encounter that guy named Ling Xiao again, you must take his dog life.”

”Of course, I have not forgotten the grudge from that day in the Fulong Mountain Range!”

With his greatly increased strength, Li Xingyun naturally thought of revenge.

Before, he did not dare to act personally for lack of confidence in defeating Ling Xiao.

But now things were different. The Ling Family had their annual grand competition, and so did the Li Clan.

In the Li Clan’s annual grand competition, not only did he clinch first place in the elimination rounds with an undefeated record, but he didn’t even use his full strength from start to finish.

Having just returned from hunting Monster Beasts in the Fulong Mountain Range, he effortlessly slew a Fourth Level Demonic Beast that had once forced him into an embarrassing retreat.

So now, his confidence was through the roof.

On his way back, he encountered a young beggar asking for food, and his killing intention surged, for in his Wild Wind Sword was a technique called—Chain Sword.

This sword move could attack multiple targets.

Merely on a whim, he killed more than twenty beggars with a single stroke.

Of course, he was unaware that another small beggar was playing in the nearby bushes.

Having killed people, he felt not the slightest remorse; rather, he was extremely proud, thrilled by the great success of his Wild Wind Sword technique.

”Was it you who killed those beggars?”

Suddenly, a figure landed in the middle of the road, a cold voice that seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell emanated from this person.

”Ling Xiao?”

Li Xingyun would not forget that face. Ever since the incident at the Fulong Mountain Range, he had posted Ling Xiao’s portrait in his room to motivate himself.

”Hehehe, that’s right, I killed them. Do those beggars have something to do with you?”

He smirked faintly, a glint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Today seemed to be a day of unfortunate encounters, and in this desolate place, it was a prime spot for murder and plunder.

Ling Xiao also recognized Li Xingyun.

He suddenly thought of the Black Scarf Thieves he had encountered on his way back. Could it be that this guy was the one who sent them?

Regardless, since Li Xingyun had killed his kin, then he must die!

”Today, all of you will die!”

Having received a definitive answer, Ling Xiao hesitated no longer.

He saw that Li Xingyun had broken through to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer, but so what? If he were to strike with full force, Li Xingyun wouldn’t last three moves against him.

And for the others, one move was more than enough.

”Hahahaha!”

”Did you hear that? That guy said he’s going to kill us.”

”This is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard.”

”Just a Pinnacle Martial Student daring to be so arrogant, it’s laughable.”

”Senior Brother Cloud Collins, he doesn’t take you seriously at all.”

The Li Family Members paused for a second and then burst into laughter, regarding Ling Xiao’s words as nothing more than a joke.

However, their discussion came to a sudden halt.

Because Ling Xiao had made his move.

In just an instant.

Ling Xiao gestured with his hand, and a beam of sword light shot out.

The Li Family Members who were mocking Ling Xiao, still reveling in the joy of ridiculing others, suddenly felt a pain in their necks.

Then terror spread across their faces.

After that, one by one, they all fell to the ground with no sign of life.

”You! You dare to kill them, do you really want to provoke a war between the Li Clan and the Ling Family?” Li Xingyun did not expect Ling Xiao’s sword to be so fast.

In just the blink of an eye, he had no chance to interfere, and everyone behind him was dead.

A dozen Li Family Members at the Martial Meridian Third Layer, and the strongest among them was even at the peak of the Martial Meridian Third Layer, on the verge of breaking through to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer. They were all so easily killed.

”With you dead, no one will know what happened here today!”

Ling Xiao was already set on killing to silence witnesses. He wouldn’t let a single person leave this place; otherwise, it might indeed spark a great war between the Li Clan and the Ling Family, and in that case, the Ling Family might not protect him.
