Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Extremely Poisonous Divine Fist_1

”Ling Xiao really is unfathomable.”

Dai Yuling shook her head with a wry smile. Ever since the Hidden Dragon Camp, she had been unable to see through Ling Xiao, and now at the Moon Hua Sect, she found him even more inscrutable.

”What... what kind of martial skill is this?”

Jian Renwang felt the burning pain in his tiger’s mouth and looked at Ling Xiao in horror, asking.

Ling Xiao glanced at Jian Renwang indifferently, then turned his gaze to his own right hand, murmuring as if to himself, ”Martial skill? So I need to use martial skills against Inner Sect Disciples?”

That move just now was merely basic defense.

Any martial artist with solid foundations could do it, but to perfectly catch the opponent’s sword blade without getting hurt, that required a much higher skill level.

To deal with someone at Jian Renwang’s level, he really had no need to resort to martial skills.

”Don’t you dare underestimate me!”

Upon hearing that Ling Xiao didn’t even deign to use a martial skill against him, Jian Renwang trembled with rage.

Then, he fiercely bit his lip, stood up without bothering to pick up the longsword he had dropped, and with a corner of his mouth twitching into a cold smile, he charged at Ling Xiao with his hands tucked in his sleeves.

”Junior Brother Ling, be careful. This guy is up to something!”

Zhao Zhi might not know what Jian Renwang was planning, but he was convinced that this cunning and deceitful fellow, unable to win upfront, would definitely choose some underhanded methods.

”Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, but he can’t harm me.”

Ling Xiao stood there, with no intention of making a move.

”Martial Way Rule activated—I won’t strike back. Any underhanded tactics you use against me, should they fail to have an effect, will instead rebound upon you just as intended!”

Upon hearing the sudden declaration from Ling Xiao.

The spectators were a bit perplexed.

”Is Ling Xiao out of his mind?”

”Hmm, who knows what he’s thinking now.”

”Can’t make heads or tails of this guy—clearly he’s not weak, just finish the fight already. Jian Renwang is such trash, he’s really bringing shame to our Inner Sect!”

Jian Renwang, hearing these comments, grew even more furious. Initially, he had not dared to seriously harm Ling Xiao for fear of Lan Yu’er’s retaliation.

But now, listening to such talks, he was virtually driven out of his mind with rage.

As Ling Xiao’s figure drew closer, Jian Renwang finally revealed a grim, cold smile, and then pulled his fists out of his sleeves.

Those fists were enveloped in a green glow.

A terrifying aura, even more formidable than Jian Renwang’s own True Essence, began to emanate.

”Extremely Poisonous Divine Fist!”

With a furious shout.

Jian Renwang clenched his fists tighter, and a pungent stench accompanied by the piercing sound of the wind emanated in the air as he struck fiercely towards Ling Xiao’s chest.

”It’s the Extremely Poisonous Divine Fist!”

Lan Yu’er’s brow furrowed slightly.

”Is there something special about this fighting technique?”

Dai Yuling asked, puzzled.

”The technique itself isn’t frightening. It’s just a rare beginner martial skill, but it can integrate deadly poisons to produce terrifyingly powerful effects.”

Lan Yu’er explained, ”I guess Jian Renwang must possess some kind of deadly poison. He’s desperate to win by any means. This is supposed to be a sparring match, not a fight to the death!”

Her face turned somewhat icy.

Jian Renwang actually tried to kill Ling Xiao right in front of her, which was something she could not tolerate.

However, for some reason, she wasn’t worried about Ling Xiao; instead, she felt an inexplicable confidence.

On the other hand, Dai Yuling and Zhao Zhi turned pale with worry.

Indeed, because his pride had been wounded, Jian Renwang had no intention of holding back with this move.

Anyway, according to the rules of sparring, even if an Inner Sect Disciple killed an Outer Disciple, the punishment is just a forfeiture of some of his pay followed by a period of reflection while facing the wall.

He was not afraid.

”Don’t blame me if you die, you had it coming!”

Jian Renwang revealed a sinister smile, looking at Ling Xiao, he thought to himself.

Ling Xiao just stood there, calmly watching Jian Renwang’s hands glow with a green light.

According to the Martial Way Rules he had set, at this moment, he could not attack, he could only defend.

Otherwise, the Martial Way Rules would not take effect.

A faint golden light began to radiate from his body as the Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor quickly enveloped him.

Jian Renwang’s strike wasn’t particularly powerful, but because it was imbued with extremely poisonous substances, it was wise to be cautious.

The Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor could undoubtedly defend against True Essence, extremely poisonous substances, and the like.

”Bang!”

Jian Renwang’s fists struck Ling Xiao solidly, after which he immediately retreated over a dozen steps, then looked at Ling Xiao with a malicious grin.

”Boom!”

An explosion sounded on Ling Xiao’s body, and then he was enveloped in a cloud of green, disgusting gas, with a foul stench permeating the air.

Many Inner Sect Disciples near the challenge stage quickly backed away several steps, fearing the foul stench as if it were the plague.

”Pfft.”

Suddenly, an extremely strange scene occurred on the field.

Ling Xiao, who should have been injured, slowly walked out from the green smoke.

In that instant, the green smoke and the terrifying explosion suddenly disappeared as if sucked away by a black hole.

On the other side, Jian Renwang suddenly kneeled on the ground, a mouthful of green-stained blood spewed out miserably.

On his face, there was still an expression of shock and confusion.

Looking at Jian Renwang who was almost collapsed not far away,

And then glancing at those below the stage who were dumbstruck,

Ling Xiao revealed a slight smile and said, ”I told you, all your moves are ineffective against me, and so they will reflect back on you. You’ve lost now!”

Looking at Jian Renwang who was defeated inexplicably on the challenge stage,

The crowd below the stage, after a moment of astonishment and silence, quickly erupted into an uproar.

Incomprehension and shock had simultaneously become the theme here.

The nearly two hundred Inner Sect Disciples who had gathered were all discussing Jian Renwang, who was lying in a pool of blood, with a tone of surprise and confusion.

Being Inner Sect Disciples themselves, they were naturally well aware of Jian Renwang’s strength.

Although he wasn’t considered strong in the Inner Sect, he was definitely not at the bottom; at the very least, he ranked around one hundred and eighty.

What’s more, once this guy used his sinister tactics, even those within the top one hundred of the Inner Sect didn’t like to fight with him.

The Extremely Poisonous Divine Fist he had just unleashed contained a very rare poison; there had been Transcendent Realm Third Layer Warriors who had suffered greatly from it.

Yet all of this had been completely shattered by Ling Xiao.

It only took two exchanges.

The first time, Jian Renwang was easily caught by the longsword and then flung away.

The second time, he inexplicably suffered the damage caused by his own Extremely Poisonous Divine Fist.

Hadn’t all the Outer Disciples in the past been defeated swiftly and decisively by Jian Renwang?

This sudden turn of events made it difficult for many Inner Sect Disciples to accept.

Below the stage, Ming Tian had also already arrived.

Watching Jian Renwang fall so easily, his face exhibited an expression of disbelief, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, showcasing his utter shock.

It had been a long time since he had seen Ling Xiao make a move. He had never watched Ling Xiao’s fights in the Outer Sect; therefore, he was quite surprised by Ling Xiao’s advancement.
