Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Clean Kill_1

Ling Xiao was now at the early stages of the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer, and he could easily defeat martial artists at the late stages of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer, even those at the pinnacle. However, facing the invincible or unparalleled warriors of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer would pose some difficulty, but he could still defeat them.

However, encountering a warrior at the initial stages of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer was even more challenging, and it was definitely not as effortless as it was before the Sixth Layer.

You should know that before the Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer, Ling Xiao basically could challenge martial artists two major realms above him.

And he did so quite easily.

But now, it wasn’t so easy.

However, this was just his human form.

In his Human-Dragon Form and Ancient Golden Dragon Form, he would become even stronger!

Under Human-Dragon Form, his overall strength could currently increase by fifty percent to double, depending on his condition and which martial skills he used.

Using human martial skills, the increase was smaller, while using Dragon Clan Martial Techniques, the improvement would be more substantial.

In his Ancient Golden Dragon Form, his speed would decrease by fifty percent, but his other abilities would increase by twice as much!

This level of enhancement was much greater than before, mainly because more Ancient Golden Dragon Cells in his body had been awakened, and more of the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline had been integrated.

However, he estimated this still wasn’t the limit.

When the scales of the Ancient Golden Dragon were completely lit up, Ling Xiao truly believed that he would possess the terrifying, supreme power of the primeval Ancient Golden Dragons that could destroy heavens and earth.

Even changing the laws of the Mysterious World would be easy for him.

That would be truly powerful!

Of course, all that was for later. Now, he was about to send the fat old man and others to meet Lord Yama.

”First one!”

Ling Xiao’s figure flashed explosively, targeting the Guard Captain of the patrolling guards.

This guy actually tried to sneak attack him while those five older guys were dealing with him. He couldn’t tolerate such behavior the most.

”Hold your ground, don’t let him come over!”

The Guard Captain panicked now. The boldness he had when sneak attacking Ling Xiao had all vanished, and he turned to flee in fear.

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, his figure burst forward, vanishing in an instant and appearing suddenly behind the Guard Captain, easily reaching his back.

”No! You can’t kill me; I am the Guard Captain of Dragon Palace City. If you dare to kill me, you will be torn to pieces!”

Feeling the terrifying chill behind him, the Guard Captain screamed desperately, trying to use the authority of the Black Dragon King to suppress Ling Xiao.

Crack!

However, Ling Xiao didn’t even frown, his sword qi swept across the other’s throat, decapitating him directly.

”Second one!”

Ling Xiao turned his gaze toward an injured strongman of Dragon Palace City.

”Doesn’t it feel good to be abandoned by your own people? Isn’t enduring the pain unpleasant? Let me give you a swift end!”

”No, don’t kill me! You demon! Do you want to challenge the entire Dragon Clan? You can’t kill me, you can’t! I curse you to a terrible death!”

Ling Xiao sneered dismissively, a sword qi shot out, and that person’s body burst open on the spot.

Curse me to a terrible death?

Then I will make sure you die without a whole corpse!

”Challenge the entire Dragon Clan? You’re really not worthy! When you followed the Black Dragon King to annihilate your humanity and slaughter your kin, did you ever consider this day would come?”

Ling Xiao sneered loudly, his voice carrying far.

He was addressing the onlookers.

”It seems he really came to seek revenge for the Golden Dragon Clan; it looks like the rumors are true.”

”Nonsense, of course it’s true. Otherwise, why would this guy recklessly break into Dragon Palace City alone if not for a deep hatred, right?”

”Next, the third one! What did you just say? Ask me to bind my own hands? Beg for mercy on my knees? Well, I’ll chop off your legs!”

As his voice rang out, Ling Xiao was already in front of the man, his sword qi trembling in his hand, striking like lightning to sever the man’s legs.

”Ah—! Demon! The Black Dragon King will not let you go, he won’t let you go!”

”The Black Dragon King, huh? He killed the Old Dragon Emperor, he deserves to die! He’ll be joining you underground soon enough, don’t worry.”

Thud!

The Black Dragon Clan Warrior, who had his legs cut off, was finally pierced through the throat by Ling Xiao’s sword, his eyes gradually losing their light.

Ling Xiao had intended to let the man kneel for a while longer, but sensing a strong presence rushing towards them from afar, he thought it best to resolve things quickly to avoid any complications.

”Now it’s just you left, Ninth Prince!”

Ling Xiao licked his lips, revealing a hint of a cold smile.

The events of today were all because of this Ninth Prince, this man had to die.

”Such dominance, such ruthlessness in this young man! Killing people as if they were weeds, decisive in action, not dragging his feet!”

”If you were burdened with a deep-seated hatred, you might do the same, wouldn’t you? Besides, we’re not children anymore. In this kind of battle, it’s either you die or I live, there’s nothing more to say.”

”True, but this young man is indeed strong. A late-stage warrior of the Transcendent Realm Eighth Layer couldn’t even withstand a single move from him. So formidable at such a young age, if he survives, his future would be limitless!”

”Too bad, he’s bound to die eventually!”

”Yeah, without the Black Dragon King making a move, just the Poison Dragon King arriving here would be enough to kill him with ease. After all, the Poison Dragon King is a high-level master of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Invincible Realm.”

The onlookers didn’t think Ling Xiao would come out of this well, but they did feel a bit of sympathy for him.

Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Invincible Realm?

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

So this was the strength of the Poison Dragon King. It seemed quite average after all.

If it were the Ninth Layer Unparalleled or Ninth Layer Divine, then perhaps things would be more difficult. But with just the Ninth Layer Invincible, even in his Human-Dragon Form, he still had a fighting chance.

If worse came to worst, he would just enter the Ancient Golden Dragon Form; after all, everyone here was from the Dragon Clan, so it wouldn’t be too shocking.

The fat elder was frantically trying to escape, watching his own side’s experts dying one after another, no longer having the heart to fight.

But how could Ling Xiao allow him to flee?

”From the moment you tried to assassinate me tonight, you were doomed to have no way out!”

Ling Xiao sighed lightly, his figure flashed, and he was already near the fat elder.

”Dragon Scale Transformation!”

Seeing Ling Xiao closing in, under the threat of death, the fat elder unleashed all his True Essence, pushing his power to the limit.

He transformed into a huge black dragon once again. Astonishingly, dozens of scales flew off his body and continued to grow larger, forming a tight protective layer around him within a range of four or five meters. Each scale was like a glowing barrier.

It looked very sturdy.

However, even that didn’t put his mind at ease, so he used his only defensive Treasure.

In an instant, behind the Dragon Scale Wall, another layer of a shining golden sphere appeared, enveloping him completely.

If combined with the formidable defense of his Black Dragon body, he believed that even if he wasn’t a match for Ling Xiao, at the very least he could wait for the arrival of the Poison Dragon King.

Crack!

However, a single sword strike shattered his beautiful dream.

The Dragon Scale Wall was quickly frozen under Ling Xiao’s Ice Dragon Sword, and then shattered inch by inch, collapsing with a thunderous sound.

Crack!

Then, the golden sphere also couldn’t withstand Ling Xiao’s cold and chilling sword light, shattering in an instant as well.
