Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Fire Snake Frenzy_1

”Linglong Fairy extends an invitation, naturally I am willing.”

Ling Xiao nodded in agreement.

”Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Young Master. May I ask how to address you?”

Linglong Fairy asked with a smile.

”My surname is Ling.”

”So it’s Young Master Ling! I’ve long admired you!”

Linglong Fairy revealed a truly enchanting smile.

At this moment, a cold-faced Martial Artist standing beside her grew discontented. His Cultivation Level had reached the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer. It was normal for him to look down on Ling Xiao.

”Hmph, what young master? He’s just a little brat,” the man scoffed. ”Fairy, we agreed that the minimum requirement for this mission was the late stage of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer, because that place is extremely dangerous. This kid is merely at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer—utterly unqualified.”

”Exactly, a brat who’s barely weaned. Who could feel at ease?”

”Fairy, better to have me join your team.”

As the cold-faced Martial Artist spoke, the surrounding Transcendent Realm Third Layer Warriors who wished to join the team began to clamor.

”Young Master Ling,” Linglong Fairy said with a laugh, ”why don’t you show them your strength? These people are all quite arrogant. They won’t listen to my explanations.”

Ling Xiao thought to himself, You just want to observe my true power, huh? But alas, it’s unlikely to go as you wish. Even without using the Array Refining Stone, this Young Master remains unfazed by a Transcendent Realm Third Layer Apex Warrior.

With that thought, he nodded.

”Alright, didn’t you all want to contest the spot with Young Master Ling? We only need thirty people for this mission, and we’re one short. The spot was intended for Young Master Ling, but since you’re dissatisfied, go ahead and challenge him one by one.”

Linglong Fairy’s approach was simply to cause trouble for Ling Xiao.

With so many Martial Artists, there were more than ten that surpassed the later stage of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer. Luckily the strongest were merely at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer. It appeared the four-level masters had probably already been chosen by Linglong Fairy. Otherwise, Ling Xiao might actually have to reveal some of his abilities.

”Enough, there’s no need for such trouble. Come at me all at once!”

Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid of any number of Transcendent Realm third-layer warriors, for without special means, they wouldn’t even be able to break his defense. All he needed to do was attack.

”Big words for someone so unproven!”

”You’re courting death, kid!”

”Since you like it that way, we’ll all come together and show this little brat what the outside world is like.”

Amongst the chaos of roars, a total of fifteen warriors at the late and peak stages of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer charged at Ling Xiao.

If these people knew how to work together, they might have lasted a bit longer.

But they were simply too foolish, hardly knowing each other, and so they swarmed around haplessly.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh as he casually took out an Array Refining Stone.

Once his True Essence was activated, in that instant, many Fire Snakes appeared on the ground.

Though the Fire Serpent Array had been modified by Ling Xiao, equaling the attack of a Transcendent Realm first-level warrior, and a single Array’s Fire Snakes numbered over a hundred,

the crucial point was, within the Array Formation, the Fire Snakes couldn’t be destroyed unless the array was broken. Otherwise, even if a Fire Snake was vanquished, it would regenerate.

The sudden appearance of the Fire Snakes threw the fifteen warriors into disarray. Had they stayed calm, even if unable to break the Fire Serpent Array, evading would have been no issue.

But alas, they panicked.

Also, Ling Xiao suddenly produced two energy swords at his fingertips and by merely standing in place, he could strike at any enemy within the entire Fire Serpent Array.

In an instant, several were pierced by the energy swords and fell into a pool of blood.

Of course, they weren’t dead. Ling Xiao wasn’t so bloodthirsty; he merely wounded them.

After all, the injuries were nothing serious to Transcendent Realm Martial Artists and they would recover swiftly.

With some injured and falling, the scene turned even more chaotic, with conflicts breaking out among the Martial Artists themselves.

As a result, Ling Xiao hardly used much of his True Essence and easily defeated the fifteen warriors in merely sixty breaths’ time.

”Linglong Fairy, you’ve gotten the result you wanted, haven’t you?”

Ling Xiao asked with a smile as he looked at the Linglong Fairy with her trembling lips.

”Young Master Ling is actually versed in array formations, quite unexpected!”

The Linglong Fairy exclaimed in surprise.

”It’s nothing, now we can enter the mountain, right?”

The reason Ling Xiao wanted to demonstrate his strength was mainly to warn the Linglong Fairy that if she truly intended to deal with him, she’d better be prepared for heavy losses.

He considered this to be showing utmost kindness and righteousness; if she still didn’t realize this, then he would have no choice but to harshly deal with her.

”Of course.”

The Linglong Fairy replied with a smile.

”By the way, I am heading to the Thousand Ghosts Forest this time, so if it’s out of your way, we might need to part ways after entering deeper into the Fulong Mountain Range.”

Ling Xiao reminded her.

”What a coincidence, it’s exactly on my way.”

The Linglong Fairy answered.

”That’s good then.”

As for whether it was truly on her way or not, Ling Xiao didn’t care at all. He had joined this team solely to eliminate potential trouble.

He was not the type to leave trouble for later, as that could lead to more complications down the line.

...

After entering deeper into the Fulong Mountain Range, the team’s pace slowed significantly.

The area was fraught with danger, and the slightest complacency could lead to severe consequences.

The dense forest seemed tranquil, yet there were occasional rustling sounds.

You could never tell if it was just the wind, a ferocious beast hiding, or perhaps some ill-intentioned martial artists.

It must be said that the people chosen by the Linglong Fairy were of quite high quality.

Of course, the quality here refers to their professional standards.

As ”beast-hunting martial artists” who often ventured into the Fulong Mountain Range, each one of them had developed a sharp eye.

Their gazes seemed to penetrate through the underbrush and trees, effortlessly spotting anomalies within the woods.

At the same time, their weapons were unsheathed, ready to respond to any emergencies.

Clearly, these people were used to cooperating with each other, and it’s hard to say how many times they had entered the Fulong Mountain Range with the Linglong Fairy.

Thus, they had developed their own non-verbal communication method.

A gesture, a glance, was all they needed to understand each other’s intentions.

Ling Xiao didn’t initially understand these people’s gestures, but for him, learning them wasn’t difficult, and within a short while, his Mountain and River Martial Soul had analyzed all the gestures and expressions.

He, too, could clearly understand their meanings now.

However, he did not reveal this information, as his purpose in joining them was to see what these people were truly up to.

Some things are better kept secret.

The three thousand pounds of weight added by the Array Refining Stones made walking extremely challenging for him.

Even so, he still did not fall behind.

The benefits of having trained his body during the Martial Vein Realm stage were now fully evident.

Only with an outstanding body could one practice in the way of the Yuan Venerate.
