Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Black-Winged Roc_1

Danger suddenly emanated from behind Ling Xiao.

It was Bai Feifei!

This foolish woman, without even understanding the situation, wanted to make a move here?

”Yuling, Zhao Zhi, you two go ahead, I’ll keep Senior Sister Bai company!”

No sooner had he spoken than Ling Xiao’s expression abruptly changed, and he employed Cloud Dragon Divine Movement to dash out, grabbing Zhao Zhi and Dai Yuling as he did.

His sudden departure bewildered everyone.

Just as everyone was puzzled, a huge python with a gaping maw suddenly rose from the churning river waters and struck at where Ling Xiao had been standing.

”Run! There’s a giant python!”

By now, many people had spotted the giant python.

In fact, the python wasn’t very powerful, feeling like at most a Level 5 Dangerous Beast, which a Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer Martial Artist could handle.

However, due to its enormous size and the suddenness of its attack, the martial artists were thrown into disarray, completely forgetting to fight back.

As a result, another seven or eight disciples were swallowed whole and pronounced dead, transported out of the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

”Fifty participants in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, twelve failed, thirty-eight remain!”

The cold voice rang out again, causing a sinking feeling in the hearts of all the young competitors.

They hadn’t even passed the first challenge, and only thirty-eight were left; moreover, judging by the meaning of that cold voice, it was going to get even harder. What should they do next?

Many had already lost confidence in themselves.

Amidst the chaos, everyone rushed to the opposite side of the rope bridge, leading to crowding and antagonism. As a result, another person was pushed off the rope bridge and plunged directly into the raging river below.

”Remaining participants: thirty-seven.”

Whether it was to put pressure on the participants of the climbing ceremony or not, that cold voice would direct report the failures every time someone failed.

”Thank you, Senior Brother Ling.”

Zhao Zhi stood at the bridgehead, still shaken. If it weren’t for Ling Xiao’s timely detection of danger and leading him to the bridgehead, he feared he too would have perished.

”No need, it was just convenient.”

Ling Xiao’s attitude was clear: he would help if he could easily do so, but if he was struggling to fend for himself, he wouldn’t interfere in other’s affairs.

”Ling Xiao, you damn bastard, why didn’t you alert everyone when you detected danger?”

Shen Tianlin roared furiously upon reaching the bridgehead.

”What a joke. As a true disciple, are you worse than me? Why didn’t you alert everyone?”

Ling Xiao retorted with a sneer.

”You!”

Shen Tianlin was so frustrated he turned red but couldn’t say a word.

If he admitted he hadn’t detected the danger, it would mean he was less capable than Ling Xiao.

But if he claimed he had seen it, he’d be slapping his own face.

He was trapped either way.

”Everyone listen up, once we cross the rope bridge, there might be even bigger crises ahead. Although I can’t possibly know what dangers there are, everyone had better be careful. That’s all.”

Ling Xiao could feel that after crossing the rope bridge, there was an even more terrifying presence than the giant python locking onto them.

But what it was, remained unknown for now.

The Moon Blossom Pagoda was too mystical; there were many things that even Ling Xiao could not perceive unless they emerged, allowing only a faint sense of their presence.

”Ka!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill cry suddenly rang out from the sky.

The sense of impending danger grew closer and more horrific.

”Ka—!”

The sound echoed once again, and everyone noticed it came from the pitch-black sky, but nothing could be seen. This oppressive and terrifying feeling was truly unbearable.

”What’s going on?”

Bai Feifei had also forgotten about dealing with Ling Xiao.

Just now, even she had nearly fallen victim to an ambush because she was preoccupied with Ling Xiao, so she had learned her lesson.

What on earth was that?

This was everyone’s question.

Ling Xiao looked up into the sky.

His black pupils instantly turned golden, and in that instant, his expression changed dramatically before he continued to flee forward, dragging Zhao Zhi and Dai Yuling with him.

After crossing the steel cable bridge, there was a dense forest, still pitch-dark, where one could hardly see their own fingers.

However, for these Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, it was still possible to see things; it was just that their field of vision was not as vast as during the daytime.

Including Bai Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, and Shen Tian Lin, all they saw was a shadowy expanse.

Only Ling Xiao could see clearly that the creature was not an easy foe, and escaping was the best option.

”Senior Brother Ling, you can put us down now. If we keep relying on you, we will lose the chance to exercise,” Zhao Zhi suggested.

”Idiot, this is a place to seek opportunities, not for your training. Once we are outside, I naturally won’t interfere with you, but in here, if we can help each other, then that’s what we should do. It’s only because I still have some strength to spare now. When a greater danger comes, and I’m too busy dealing with my own situation, you’d want my help, and I won’t even bother to lift a finger,” Ling Xiao said in a cold voice as he sprinted.

Among these people, the smartest were definitely Tantai Lingzi and Leng Hao.

As soon as they saw Ling Xiao start to run, they also turned around without hesitation and followed.

Shang Guan Lei ran purely out of trust in Ling Xiao.

Others followed suit out of habit.

That stupid woman, Bai Feifei, did not run.

Ming Tian also did not run.

Shen Tian Lin stood there as well.

It was getting close!

And clearer to see!

In the sky, a huge roc spread its massive wings, charging towards them.

The roc spread its wings, which were more than twenty meters wide; each flap of its wings caused a fierce gust of wind, terrifying to anyone who witnessed it.

”A Black-Winged Roc! Why would such a terrifying ferocious beast be here? This is an Eighth-level Peak Fierce Beast, an existence even Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Martial Artists would be wary of!”

Shen Tian Lin’s brows furrowed tightly, and he turned to leave as well.

”Who cares about a Black-Winged Roc, kill it, and that’s that!” Bai Feifei did not want to run anymore.

When she encountered the Giant Python earlier, it was because the incident had occurred so suddenly that she hadn’t had time to react, and that’s why she had fled.

But now, she didn’t want to run.

She, as a Half-step Celestial, was not about to be frightened by an Eighth-level Peak Fierce Beast, was she?

Whoosh!

No sooner had she finished speaking than she had already flown up.

”Senior Sister Bai, don’t!”

Shen Tian Lin cried out, but it was already too late.

”Boom!”

Bai Feifei collided with the Black-Winged Roc.

However, the outcome was not as Bai Feifei had expected.

She thought she could kill this bird with one punch, but instead, she was the one who got knocked back, crashing into the ground, while the Black-Winged Roc merely shook slightly and paused for just a moment.

”How is this possible!”

Bai Feifei could not believe this was the outcome.

”Senior Sister, we should get going. It seems that there is a special Magic Array on that Black-Winged Roc which allows it to exert greater strength, and even the Moon Blossom Pagoda is helping it. It’s too disadvantageous to fight against it,” Shen Tian Lin said as he ran over.

”Damn it, another Magic Array, I hate Magic Arrays the most.”

Having spoken, Bai Feifei still very much unwillingly fled forward.

It was useless for her to be unwilling; this opportunity was not something that could be seized by sheer strength alone.
