Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Making a Name in the Clouds_1

”No——!”

A terrible scream rose, followed by a figure darting out from the crowd, catching the body of Li Xinghui as he was about to fall to the ground.

It was Li Yunsheng!

The father of Li Xinghui.

The Family Master of the Li Clan in Tianfeng City, and one of the main culprits behind the siege of the Ling Family.

”Heavens above, to kill Li Xinghui in just four moves, what was with that last sword strike? Its power felt almost equal to a hit from a complete Martial Soul!”

”That’s not too exaggerated, but it was definitely stronger than Li Xinghui’s eighty percent Broken Soul, it felt more like a problem with the quality of True Essence; this Ling Xiao’s foundation is just too solid, his True Essence is extremely thick, I’m afraid it’s no less than that of a Martial Master of the eighth level of Martial Veins!”

”Terrifying, this young man has made a name for himself in Yunkong City today!”

”What kind of virtue and ability does this person have, I heard he was originally just a little beggar, how did he become so terrifying, making people green with envy!”

”From beggar to genius, how could people accept that!”

Seeing the outcome, everyone was shocked.

Everyone was amazed.

But even more so, there was jealousy and displeasure.

What they found most unacceptable was that Ling Xiao was originally just a little beggar, not a member of a prominent noble family, nor a disciple of a major Sect.

This sense of disparity made it difficult for them to bear, and gave rise to jealousy.

On the Hidden Dragon Camp’s side, people like Lin Ze had a false alarm, but now they were laughing heartily.

Ling Xiao’s performance had actually exceeded their expectations; this youngster’s talent might be far stronger than even Master Baiyun had described.

Lin Ze had already made up his mind; since Master Baiyun refused to take Ling Xiao as his direct disciple, then he would take him in.

A talent like this definitely had the qualifications to inherit his mantle.

Actually, his original intention for sending out the disciples of the Hidden Dragon Camp to hunt the Dreamy Elixir Sellers was to select disciples.

In times of chaos, he, as a general, could say that his life was on the line every day, and his potential had also reached its limit, afraid that he would never be able to break through to the Transcendent Realm in his lifetime.

Ling Xiao had better prospects and was more worth cultivating.

General Jiu Yue turned his head to look at Ling Yixue, and couldn’t help but remark with emotion, ”What is called a once-in-a-generation talent, today I have fully understood. Ling Xiao, this name, might become, in the not too distant future, the most outstanding young talent of not just Baiyun Province but even the Human Sacred Dynasty, fully capable of contending against the monsters from the Ninja Clan, the Green-eyed Clan, and the Barbarian Clan.”

”The General is still underestimating him.”

Ling Yixue shook her head, her eyes brimming with intense excitement.

General Jiu Yue was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered Master Baiyun’s words.

The Human Race, Ninja Clan, Green-eyed Clan, and Barbarian Clan are in fact, all lower races.

Although they look quite different from each other, ultimately, they are all under the form of humanity and cannot exceed this category.

But with the middle and higher races, it’s different.

Their appearances vary greatly and their talents are much stronger than those of the lower races.

Unless one can ascend to the Extraordinary Sacred Realm, it would be difficult to enter into the worlds of these races.

The Human Sacred Dynasty is vast, but compared to the entire world, it is just a drop in the ocean.

But General Jiu Yue wasn’t too clear about these things, he looked at Ling Xiao, thinking perhaps this young man could one day tell him what the world outside was really like.

Li Yunsheng, who had caught Li Xinghui’s body, had his rage reached its peak as he stared at Ling Xiao and roared, ”You executioner, having killed two of my sons, I will fight you to the death!”

With those words, he suddenly stabbed a sword toward Ling Xiao.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out, space trembled violently, and Ling Xiao, standing there, had his clothes blown ”whooshing” loudly.

In front of him, General Jiu Yue suddenly appeared, shattering Li Yunsheng’s Sword Qi with a punch.

”Li Yunsheng, don’t forget where we are; this is the Cliff of Life and Death. Your son signed a life-and-death contract with Ling Xiao, witnessed by General Wan and General Lin. What do you think you’re doing?”

”The one who died is my son!”

Li Yunsheng roared.

He knew full well that what he was doing violated the rules, but Li Xinghui was his only son, and his talent far surpassed that of Li Xingyun.

He had always hoped that his son could become General Wan’s right-hand man so that one day the Li Clan could return and take control of Tianfeng City once again.

But now, with Li Xinghui killed by Ling Xiao, his dreams shattered like a broken mirror, unlikely to ever be pieced back together.

He lost all reason and was desperate to kill Ling Xiao.

”That’s right, your son is the one who died, but remember it was your son who initiated this duel to the death, and you did not stop him—in fact, you supported him. You probably thought Ling Xiao would be the one to die. If so, you would have been quite pleased, wouldn’t you?”

General Jiu Yue sneered, ”Now that your son is dead, you’re angry? What were you doing earlier?”

”Enough!”

Wan 犇 cast a cold glance at Ling Xiao standing there and then turned to Li Yunsheng, ”On the Cliff of Life and Death, fate is inescapable. Are you suggesting the entire Li Clan be buried with your son?”

Hearing this, Li Yunsheng shuddered and said no more, quickly leaving while carrying the body of his son.

Before leaving, he cast a venomous look at Ling Xiao, as if he truly wanted to rip Ling Xiao apart and devour him alive.

In fact, Wan 犇 was also very displeased. The outcome had disgraced him, and he longed to kill Ling Xiao on the spot.

But he was the governor, and this was the White Cloud Temple. There were things he simply couldn’t do in front of others.

There was another who was also quite discontent, and that was Fei Yu.

Not only because Ling Xiao had once killed Fei Mu and Fei Yun, but more importantly, Fei Yu found that Shi Yu Lian, whom he had brought back from Tianfeng City and treated as his woman, was now staring blankly at Ling Xiao.

This was something he found absolutely unbearable.

What a man can least accept, perhaps, is his beloved being emotionally moved by another man.

Fei Yu felt his self-esteem greatly challenged, and rage began to slowly consume his fiery red heart.

”Ling Xiao, don’t think you’re so great just because you killed Li Xinghui. In front of me, Fei Yu, you’re nothing!”

On the surface, Fei Yu seemed to show no emotional change, but inside, a huge storm was raging.

Although he said that Ling Xiao was nothing in front of him, he did not dare challenge Ling Xiao on the Cliff of Life and Death.

Because he feared death, and he was not fully confident of victory.

Fortunately, he was about to break through the eighth level of Martial Veins. When that time came, he would be the first to kill Ling Xiao. He couldn’t allow this man to remain arrogant any longer.

After giving Ling Xiao a venomous glance, Fei Yu took a deep breath and simply closed his eyes.

He knew that what he needed now was patience.

All Shi Yu Lian could see now was Ling Xiao.

The young man in green, who had emerged suddenly during the Tianfeng City grand competition like a comet, had defeated various experts, ultimately beating Li Xinghui to claim the first place.

At that time, she felt that Ling Xiao was extraordinary and had tried to seduce him into joining the Shi Clan.

However, the intervention of the Ninja Clan disrupted her plans.

She thought that Ling Xiao’s journey would end there.

A meteor arrives quickly and leaves just as fast.

Yet today, Ling Xiao killed Li Xinghui in four moves, suddenly making her realize a truth: the seedlings that grow into towering trees have all weathered storms.

Ling Xiao’s future was no longer within the control of people like them.
