Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: The Cunning of the Enchantress_1

For an entire year, She Mei spared no effort in using all sorts of means to increase her cultivation level; she was very clear—

If she were to die just like that, wouldn’t all her hard work over the past year be in vain?

She couldn’t accept such an ending!

However, the cold look in Ling Xiao’s eyes filled her with great unease. This kid was different from the ordinary Moon Hua Sect disciples; he really might be capable of ruthlessly killing her.

It seemed she could only use the spectators around her to pressure this kid.

”Ling Xiao, it was wrong of us to post the Beast King Palace seal on the manor gates without permission. Now that you’ve killed my Younger Brother Zhang and Elder Brother Hai, and torn up our seal, you should be satisfied, right? I have never had any grievances with you, there’s no need to bully a weak woman like me, is there?”

It must be said that She Mei’s words were indeed skillful.

Additionally, by deliberately putting on a pitiful look, she elicited sympathetic glances from the surrounding onlookers.

If these people weren’t wary of Ling Xiao’s strength, they probably would have stepped in to help her.

”Indeed, Brother Ling, she’s just a weak woman, there’s no need to wipe her out, right?”

”Yeah, Brother Ling, you’ve already killed two disciples of the Beast King Palace. If you continue to commit murder, I’m afraid it will provoke retaliation from the Beast King Palace.”

”Brother Ling, just have her apologize and admit her wrongdoing, and that should be enough.”

For a moment, many who considered themselves to be righteous were pleading on behalf of She Mei.

They didn’t dare to lay a hand on Ling Xiao, but they did dare to plead for mercy.

A smug smile crept onto She Mei’s lips.

In her eyes, under these circumstances, faced with the righteous indignation of the crowd, Ling Xiao surely wouldn’t dare to offend everyone, would he?

”Anyone who wants to die, continue pleading for her!”

Ling Xiao’s voice wasn’t loud, but his killing intent was extremely thick. In the Mountain and River World, the piece of black iron trembled continuously, and an overwhelming murderous aura mixed with Ling Xiao’s own.

Very quickly, no one made a sound anymore.

Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze toward She Mei and said coldly, ”A weak woman? Hmph! That sounds nice. If I had been just a bit weaker, wouldn’t the one lying on the ground now be me, Ling Xiao? When you attacked, you didn’t think of yourself as a weak woman, and now you’re playing the victim with me, it’s useless!”

”Then what exactly do you want?”

She Mei panicked; she had never expected to be facing such a madman. There were easily over a thousand people watching the battle, and this guy actually dared to go against public anger.

She stepped back while asking with a trembling voice.

”I want you dead!”

As Ling Xiao walked forward, he spoke indifferently.

He never killed the innocent, but if someone wanted to kill him, then he would certainly not be merciful.

After all, killing one was killing, and killing three made no difference!

Since he had already offended the Beast King Palace, what was there to fear about killing She Mei and facing consequences?

He didn’t want to leave a disaster that would harm his family and friends.

Upon hearing Ling Xiao’s ice-cold words, She Mei’s face turned even paler. If it was just a matter of crippling her cultivation level, she could accept it; after all, she could quickly cultivate again.

But once a person died, everything was gone.

She had worked so hard to cultivate to her current state; she couldn’t die!

Absolutely couldn’t die!

”I will cripple my own cultivation, and from then on, never cross paths with you again. Isn’t that enough?”

She Mei shouted loudly.

”Not enough! The moment you attempted to kill me, your fate was sealed; you must die!”

Ling Xiao’s voice was very even but carried a strong, unquestionable tone.

She Mei’s complexion went from pale to a flushed red in an instant.

That was a tide of furious crimson.

She clenched her teeth and exclaimed, ”Ling Xiao! You will regret this! You will definitely regret it! Even if I have to pay the heaviest price today, I will have you dead!”

At this point, she suddenly threw a flare into the sky.

The colorful flare burst in the sky, clearly visible even a hundred miles away.

Ling Xiao’s brows slightly furrowed; he knew his opponent was calling for help.

”Hahaha! Hahahaha! Ling Xiao, you’re doomed!”

She Mei laughed somewhat manically, ”It’s all because you forced me! If you had let me live, I wouldn’t have done this.”

”Is that so? Then I’ll kill you first. Your helpers, when they arrive, surely won’t trouble over a corpse, right?”

Having said that, Ling Xiao was about to make his move when he suddenly furrowed his brows and drifted backward.

In the sky, a streak of red light came hurtling down with great speed.

Boom~~

A loud bang ensued as the red light struck the very spot Ling Xiao had been standing on a moment before, cratering the ground deeply.

Whoosh whoosh~~

Two more sounds followed.

Boom boom~~

A blue light and a white light descended, each carrying an aura of ferocity, clearly not those of ordinary individuals.

The spectating crowd, fearing entanglement in the fray, hastily cleared a huge space for Ling Xiao and the newcomers.

They were there just for the spectacle; while some may have felt sympathy for She Mei before, risking their lives for it was absolutely out of the question.

The three people who landed on the ground were not disciples of the Beast King Palace, and not even from any of the twelve sects.

But they all had one thing in common: their strength was exceptional.

And within the secular world, they were unequivocally sovereigns in their own right.

”Hahaha, She Mei, I always said you would one day need that distress flare, what about it, did you agree to what I proposed?”

The first to arrive was a man in a red robe, around fifty or sixty years old, with flaming red hair, exuding an imposing presence.

After his arrival, like the other two, he did not even glance at Ling Xiao, but instead looked at She Mei with a delighted expression.

She Mei’s face showed a trace of disgust, but she quickly concealed it.

”Yes, Chief Tu, Mei’er has encountered troubles today. Someone is after my life. If Chief Tu can kill him, I will descend to your Skull Village and become your chieftain’s wife. Should I break this oath, let me be struck down by heaven and earth!”

She gnashed her teeth, making a malicious vow.

”Hahaha, no problem, no problem at all. I’ve always said, as long as you’re willing to be my chieftain’s wife, if anyone dares to touch a hair on you, I’ll kill his entire family!”

Chief Tu laughed heartily, evidently very excited.

”Master Lin, City Lord Bai, the same goes for the two of you; today, whichever of you three kills him, I will marry.”

She Mei added another sentence.

”You two better not compete with me, or I’ll kill your entire families as well!”

Chief Tu appeared extremely domineering and somewhat unreasonable.

”Hmph, Chief Tu, you’re at the Third Layer Apex of the Transcendent Realm, and so are we two. Why should we listen to you?”

Master Lin snorted coldly, ”Mei’er has made it clear already. Whoever kills her enemy, deserves to marry her. If you want us two to back off, you’re going to have to cough up something worthwhile.”

”Exactly, Chief Tu, you think I, the city lord, am afraid of you? Without enough incentive, thinking we’d give up is nothing short of a joke!”

City Lord Bai was not to be outdone, a powerful aura surging from his body as if he was ready to clash with Chief Tu at a word’s notice.
