Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Beasts in Human Clothing (Part 1)

”Senior Brother Ling, please stand up for us!”

Whish, more than ten female disciples knelt down below the platform, each one with tears streaming down their faces, wailing as if their lives depended on it.

”What nonsensical prattle is this? Drive them away at once, don’t disrupt the core disciples’ ranking battle!”

Elder Jin stood up and bellowed.

”Hold on!”

Ling Xiao shouted, ”The ranking of core disciples is a minor issue; this matter is of great importance. If a sect cannot even protect its own disciples, then its downfall is not far off. Tell me, what has this Yue Ren done?”

Ling Xiao’s face was grim; he was a man of responsibility.

Having received the Moonlight Command from Changge, he hoped to see the Moon Hua Sect improve and get stronger.

He would find it difficult to be at peace if he did not resolve such matters occurring within the sect.

”The martial art Yue Ren cultivates is called ’Gentleman’s Sword Technique’. This technique is intended to make martial artists into gentlemen, acting with integrity and openness, but it requires them to refrain from touching women for a certain period of time.”

One of the female disciples explained, ”Yue Ren couldn’t restrain himself and actually harmed his fellow sect members with underhanded methods. We are not as strong as he is and lack backing, so after being bullied by him, we dared not speak out.”

”Rubbish, if you had reported this to the Enforcement Hall, someone would naturally uphold justice for you!”

Elder Jin was so furious that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged.

”Senior Brother Ling, he’s plainly lying. One of my fellow sisters did just that, but then she disappeared without a trace, never to be found again!”

The female disciple shouted indignantly.

”Senior Brother Ling, be careful!”

Suddenly, a female disciple cried out in alarm.

It turned out that Yue Ren had launched a stealth attack while Ling Xiao was talking with the others.

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he easily evaded Yue Ren’s full-force sneak attack.

Then, facing Yue Ren’s back, he opened his mouth and emitted a roar.

Dragon Roar Skill!

Boom!

Something dreadful happened.

Yue Ren’s body actually exploded in mid-air, turning into pieces scattered across the Martial Arts Platform.

”I didn’t want to kill you, but you really seem to have a death wish!”

Ling Xiao had planned to let the Enforcement Hall determine Yue Ren’s punishment after a thorough investigation.

But who would have thought that Yue Ren would actually attempt to take his life.

This was something he absolutely could not forgive!

”Yue Ren!”

With cries of astonishment, Elder Jin’s eyes were splitting with rage.

He had taken Yue Ren as his disciple and believed that if he could just endure this period, his status could be restored in the future, and Yue Ren could bring glory to him in the inter-sect martial competition.

But now, Ling Xiao had killed Yue Ren.

And so easily!

He hadn’t even moved his hands, merely his mouth!

This scene also left all the disciples of Moon Hua Sect in shock.

Especially those who had once thought that Ling Xiao was only arrogant because he had powerful backing now shut their mouths.

They had never witnessed such a thing before; with merely a couple of roars, he had killed a martial artist at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.

Wasn’t this too outrageous?

Ling Xiao, in their eyes, had suddenly become unfathomable and entirely unpredictable.

”Ling Xiao is too terrifying, I don’t dare to provoke him anymore!”

”Yes, although Brother Yue Ren had fallen several places in the core disciple rankings, he was still ranked sixth. Yet Ling Xiao killed him so effortlessly!”

”A harbinger of death!”

”Mysterious and unpredictable!”

”Better not make him an enemy from now on.”

Countless disciples were shaken to the core, especially those who had been waiting to see Ling Xiao’s downfall; at this moment, they could hardly believe their eyes.

If it weren’t for Yue Ren being killed, they might have thought it was all staged or faked.

”Hehe, truly worthy of Senior Brother Ling, even more fearsome than I imagined.”

Leng Hao was also stunned for a moment, then promptly burst into applause.

As for Bai Feifei, she was completely dumbfounded. Even for her, defeating Yue Ren would take at least about ten moves, and the process would certainly not be easy.

Yet Ling Xiao had killed Yue Ren without lifting a finger. Was this even human?

A monster!

Tantai Lingzi’s expression remained unchanged, but a touch of worry crept into her eyes.

”Little sister, you see now, don’t you? I’ve told you more than once, Senior Brother Ling is no ordinary person. He’s a Young Dragon that will one day soar through the Nine Layers of the sky.”

Zhao Zhi said to Zhao Ci, who stood beside him, filled with emotion.

Zhao Ci and Ling Xiao, Dai Yuling, Zhao Zhi had all entered the Moon Hua Sect at the same time.

But on this path, they had diverged.

Dai Yuling and Zhao Zhi had closely followed Ling Xiao’s pace, and now they had both become among the top ten core disciples.

Zhao Ci, who disliked Ling Xiao for his decisive killing, was very averse to him, even coming to hate her own brother Zhao Zhi as a result.

Yet at this moment, Zhao Ci’s eyes brimmed with tears.

Her excessive compassion had cost her dearly.

Recalling the events of that night, she trembled all over.

She didn’t understand why, after she had helped Yue Ren, he would treat her like a beast?

She had kept this matter buried in her heart, not daring to tell anyone, including when those female disciples had stepped forward today; she hadn’t dared to join them.

Because she was a princess of the Northern Han Kingdom, she couldn’t allow such a scandal to become public.

But she really wanted revenge.

What she didn’t expect was that the person to avenge her would be Ling Xiao!

The fellow disciple she most detested!

”Little sister, what’s wrong?”

Zhao Zhi asked in confusion.

”Brother, I’ve finally seen the light. I need to become stronger! You have to help me!”

Zhao Ci said to Zhao Zhi, but her eyes remained fixed on Ling Xiao on the Martial Arts Platform.

The person she once looked down upon and was dissatisfied with now appeared a towering and majestic figure in her eyes.

”Ling Xiao, even if Yue Ren deserved to die a thousand times, he should be tried and executed by the Enforcement Hall. Your actions were somewhat inappropriate!”

As the current Head of Enforcement Hall, Chang Yueying was somewhat dissatisfied with Ling Xiao’s actions.

”Didn’t you see him trying to kill me?”

Ling Xiao glanced at Chang Yueying and retorted.

Chang Yueying clenched her fists tightly and then slowly relaxed, saying, ”Indeed, in that case, continue with your challenge.”

She did not insist further because she knew very well that the four-sect Martial Arts Gathering would be Ling Xiao’s downfall!

There was no need to make a fuss over this small matter.

By killing Yue Ren, Ling Xiao was now ranked sixth among the core disciples.

The fourth place required by the Moon Lady was still two positions away.

But he didn’t care about the ranking because those he aimed to defeat were not limited to Yue Ren alone.

”Which of you two will go first?”

Ling Xiao looked toward Tantai Lingzi and Bai Feifei.

”I will!”

Bai Feifei, with a grim expression, leaped onto the Martial Arts Platform.

Although Ling Xiao had killed Yue Ren, Bai Feifei still didn’t believe Ling Xiao could be her match.

After all, she had recovered to the strength level of a Half-step Celestial.

And Ling Xiao was merely at the first stage of the Transcendent Realm Eightfold.

She wanted revenge, for the grievances before the Pagoda Climbing Ceremony started, and also for those within the Moon Blossom Pagoda!

Now her mind was full of Ling Xiao’s shadow; if she didn’t slay Ling Xiao, she would never find peace.
