Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Severely Punish Ling Xiao?_1

Ling Xiao’s Thunder Shadow Sword in his hand could double the power of his lightning attribute True Essence and speed up the execution of sword moves by twenty percent.

It came with a special skill, ”Thundering Flash,” which allowed for an instant release of thunderous strikes against the enemy, easily breaking through the defenses of a Transcendent Realm Seventh Heaven Martial Artist, posing a huge threat to all Transcendent Realm Martial Artists.

Although Ming Tian was a talent, and even in a half-beast transformation state, he was, after all, just a Transcendent Realm Seventh Heaven Martial Artist.

Facing the swift attack of the Thundering Flash, he simply could not evade.

More importantly, at this moment, the True Essence within Ling Xiao’s body had completely transformed into the lightning attribute, and this Thunder Shadow Sword could double the power of his lightning attribute True Essence. One could imagine the magnitude of its attack power.

What!

Ming Tian thought he had succeeded in his sneak attack, yet he suddenly felt a terrifying force heading straight for him and his face changed dramatically.

Just as he was about to take out the Quad-directional Crystal for defense, it was already too late.

”Elder Brother Shen, help me now!”

Knowing he couldn’t withstand Ling Xiao’s attack, Ming Tian shouted out to Shen Tian Lin.

However, at this moment, Shen Tian Lin was being held back by Leng Hao and Dai Yuling.

Even though the two of them were no match for Shen Tian Lin, there was no problem in holding him back for a moment.

”You just accept your elimination. This is what you brought upon yourself!”

Boom Crack!

Like thunder exploding.

Ming Tian’s body was pierced through in mid-air, horribly charred on the outside and tender within, a ghastly sight to behold.

”Ling Xiao, I will remember this! I will remember the hatred of today! You just wait!”

”Remaining participants: twelve!”

”It’s your turn now, Shen Tian Lin!”

Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Shen Tian Lin.

He would not give Shen Tian Lin a chance to continue opposing him; this guy needed to be eliminated now!

”You two, back off!”

Dai Yuling and Leng Hao were no match for Shen Tian Lin after all, both sustaining injuries and not light ones at that.

Ling Xiao, without so much as a glance, tossed the gourd he had obtained earlier to Leng Hao, which contained pills that could heal wounds.

Along with Dai Yuling’s own True Qi, which had a healing effect, there was naturally no need to worry.

Next, he needed to concentrate on dealing with Shen Tian Lin.

...

A moment back in time.

Outside the Moon Blossom Pagoda.

More and more people were gathering around.

The expressions on the faces of the Sect’s higher-ups were not good.

Only one day had passed, and there were only thirteen contestants left.

And Ling Xiao had become the topic of discussion among everyone.

Because the previous three people who came out all said they had been killed by Ling Xiao.

Although the reason was still their own greed.

But for the leaders, it was not a good thing at all.

The whole point of increasing the number of participants was to give more people a chance at fortune, but Ling Xiao alone had eliminated eight people, which was really not a good sign.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, another person was thrown out from inside.

”No way, another one eliminated?”

Elder Jin squinted and immediately flew into a rage.

”Ming Tian!”

He had never expected that Ming Tian, the one he had high hopes for, would be the one eliminated this time!

Many Inner Sect Disciples who were spectating on-site were also shocked beyond measure.

”Ming Tian and Leng Hao are known as the two great geniuses of the Inner Sect. Although their cultivation levels aren’t very high, both their wisdom and adaptability are first-class. How could they be eliminated so easily?”

”Right, Leng Hao’s strength isn’t even comparable to Ming Tian’s. If he wasn’t eliminated, how come Ming Tian was?”

”It must have been a setup.”

”Do you think it could’ve been that Ling Xiao?”

”Come on, would Ling Xiao dare to mess with Ming Tian? The Demonflame Celestial would tear him to shreds, wouldn’t he?”

”Idiot, Ling Xiao did kill Demonflame Celestial’s disciples, Wang Feng and Xu Ying, before. What’s this then? It’s just an elimination, not an actual death.”

All higher-ups, aside from Elder Jin, exchanged bewildered glances, unable to understand the situation.

”Ming Tian, what exactly happened? Was someone plotting against you? Just say it, I will seek justice for you!”

Elder Jin roared furiously.

”It was Ling Xiao! That guy Ling Xiao, ever since he entered the Moon Blossom Pagoda, has been greedy, hogging all the treasures for himself. This time, I was merely standing up for Brother Shen, and he ambushed me, piercing my body with a sword.”

Ming Tian was truly filled with indignation at this moment.

Such a perfect opportunity for trial slipped through his fingers so easily. He obtained nothing and was eliminated just like that.

”Scoundrel! Ling Xiao is completely out of line; we are fellow sect members, brothers even. Him hoarding the treasures is one thing, but to be so ruthless... What is he trying to do? Ruin this Pagoda Climbing Ceremony?”

Elder Jin, boiling with rage, slammed his palm onto the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

If it weren’t for the numerous array formations set by the Moon Hua Sect, the ground might have actually collapsed.

No wonder he was so angry. Each disciple only gets three chances in their lifetime to participate in the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, and each attempt, whether a failure or success, counts as one.

And each time the difficulty is greater than the last.

Ming Tian has outstanding talent, but missing this chance means he’ll be left behind. Even if he enters the Moon Blossom Pagoda next year, it would be too late.

This Ling Xiao, this scoundrel, is being so reckless and bold!

”Hmph, speaking so righteously, weren’t you just trying to snatch others’ treasures? You deserved to be eliminated.”

Golden Light Heavenly Lord snorted coldly, his smile filled with happiness.

He was glad that he had Leng Hao mingle with Ling Xiao before the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony.

Though Leng Hao seems to have outstanding talent, and Ling Xiao can’t compare with him, Golden Light Heavenly Lord is no fool; talent is something that can be completely changed through effort. Especially with the existence of something as miraculous as the Martial Soul, the possibility of change is even greater.

Ling Xiao’s cultivation speed has already far surpassed all the geniuses within the sect.

To underestimate such a person is foolishness.

”Regardless, Ling Xiao has now eliminated nine Sect Disciples in a row. Such actions absolutely cannot be allowed. Sect Leader, you must enforce justice. You cannot let him do as he pleases just because Her Highness Moon Lady is protecting him!”

Elder Jin cried out, unable to contain his fury.

Chang Yueying frowned. Although Elder Jin’s words were biased, the fact remained that Ling Xiao had eliminated nine Sect Disciples, and that fact wouldn’t change.

This kind of action is extremely detrimental to the development of the Moon Hua Sect.

”Ever since Ling Xiao joined the sect, his actions have been very strange. We must investigate thoroughly!”

Elders Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and the other Elders of the Enforcement Hall echoed Elder Jin’s words in unison.

If all five Grand Elders, along with the Enforcement Elder, said so, the pressure on Chang Yueying was immense.

”Enough, after the end of the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony, Ling Xiao will be handed over to the Enforcement Hall for handling. Are you satisfied with that?”

Under immense pressure, Chang Yueying finally made a concession.

After all, Ling Xiao was not her disciple, and she did not need to stand against the five Grand Elders for Ling Xiao’s sake.

”No! Everybody knows that Elder Jin’s word is law in the Enforcement Hall; that’s not fair!”

Guanghan Celestial Venerate objected.

”I also find it inappropriate.”

Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate nodded in agreement.

Venerable Pure Sky, Guanghan Celestial Venerate, and Yang Dan Lin also expressed their positions afterward.
