Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220: An Inexplicable Death

”Today you can’t go anywhere. Even if we don’t help the Water Temple, if we become an enemy of the Water Temple for Ling Xiao, then all of us from Twin Flowers Pirate Group will die. Can you bear that responsibility then?”

Hua Fuguang was very calm.

Although she knew that if Ling Xiao died, her sister would hate her for the rest of her life, she had to do this.

Because she was the captain of the Twin Flowers Pirate Group, she had to be responsible for her crew.

”Sister, you can’t do this. Can’t you see? Ling Xiao will not die, and once he survives, his future will be boundless. Even the Water Temple may not be able to contain his growth. We must help him now.”

Hua Lueying shouted loudly.

”Since you have so much faith in him, then there’s no need to worry.”

Hua Fuguang simply closed her eyes, refusing to listen to Hua Lueying’s shouting.

At this moment, on the street, over a thousand pirates covered in blood, who murder without blinking, leaped from their ships, howling one after another as if they were wild beasts from the sea.

They emanated an evil, gloomy, and cruel aura.

Not one of them was kind-hearted, not one of them had taken fewer than hundreds of lives.

To these people, human life was always something they could never pity.

For pirates, what’s theirs is theirs, and what’s others’ is also theirs; if others do not consent, then they will just take by force.

That is the simplest way of the pirate, with no reasoning behind it.

On the streets, the Martial Artists were hiding in the dark, not even daring to breathe heavily, afraid of provoking these fierce and malevolent figures, risking their lives in the process.

Ling Xiao, however, continued to sit at the small stall, eating with relish, seemingly oblivious to the approaching figures.

The leader, in a blue robe, gazed coldly at the corpse on the ground with its completely shattered chest.

He was the representative of the Water Temple sent to Crime City, responsible for amassing wealth for the Water Temple.

The One-eyed Pirate Group had done very well in this regard, being major contributors to the Water Temple’s wealth.

But now One-Eyed Dragon had been killed, and it was after claiming to represent the Water Temple.

As the Water Temple’s representative in Crime City, he absolutely could not tolerate such disregard for the Temple.

Standing on both sides of him were four captains of the One-eyed Pirate Group.

The captain of the first team, with fiery red hair and Cultivation Level comparable to that of One-Eyed Dragon, possessed a powerful Flame Martial Soul with formidable combat strength.

”For just a young brat like him, it would be an overkill for me to take action. Fire Captain, you guys go first. There’s no need to talk about Jianghu morality with him, kill him mercilessly!”

The representative of the Water Temple sat at the bow of the ship, speaking coldly.

”Yes!”

Fire Captain looked over at Ling Xiao, who was sitting at the stall, and suddenly launched a punch. Amidst the tumbling flames, the table at the stall instantly caught fire, billowing with thick smoke.

”Ling Xiao! Come out and meet your death!”

He roared, his momentum as earth-shaking as One-Eyed Dragon’s had been before.

”I had long heard that the captain of the One-eyed Pirate Group’s first team was very powerful, not a bit weaker than their own Pirate captain. Seeing is believing, indeed.”

People’s expressions were uncertain.

Some were worried for Ling Xiao.

Others were gloating over his misfortune.

After all, there are all kinds of people in the world, and you cannot expect everyone to act according to your wishes.

That’s not realistic.

But the only thought everyone had at the moment was that Fire Captain was mighty, and if he joined forces with the others, Ling Xiao would indeed be in trouble.

However, although the table was destroyed, the bowl in Ling Xiao’s hand remained intact, and so was the stool he was sitting on.

The bowl seemed to float in the air as if it had its own support, refusing to fall and shatter, leaving onlookers agape.

The people could not help but sigh in secret.

This Ling Xiao was indeed capable. But thinking back to the dominance Ling Xiao showed in the face of One-Eyed Dragon, to achieve such a feat now was not so surprising, so they felt somewhat relieved.

”Damn it, putting on airs with me, huh?”

The Fire Captain’s body was ablaze with crimson flames, and behind him, a fiery aura loomed, making him look extremely formidable.

”Come on, tear that brat to pieces alive for me, don’t mind anything, everyone, charge!”

The Fire Captain roared, and the crew members rushed towards Ling Xiao with loud cries.

In their eyes, even if Ling Xiao was formidable, their crew consisted of nearly three hundred people, and every one of them was a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, so they believed they could surely annihilate that bastard Ling Xiao.

”Kill!”

The Fire Captain waved his hand, his voice piercingly cold as he commanded.

”Kill!”

The pirates lacked the discipline of a military force and uniform battle tactics, but as they howled ferociously and pounced towards Ling Xiao, they still exuded a fierce momentum.

However, at that moment, a freezing chill permeated the entire street.

In the sky, snowflakes actually began to fall.

The bone-chilling cold descended on the world, causing all the pirates to shiver uncontrollably, their hearts as cold as if they had plunged into an ice cellar.

The wind, began to blow.

The snow, sharp like blades.

Amid the suppleness, a strong killing intent was palpable.

Screams suddenly erupted among the pirates, as those martial artists who first lunged at Ling Xiao slowly began to freeze, turning into water blue ice crystals.

Those behind them couldn’t stop their momentum in time and crashed heavily into these people.

The ice crystals fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

There was no blood, but the scene was just as eerie and cruel.

Any pirate who came close to Ling Xiao almost certainly could not escape the danger of being frozen.

Pirates are also human.

When fear outweighs brutality, they no longer dared to act.

After all, dozens of them had already died in front of their eyes, and their deaths were so bizarre that it was lamentable.

Who?

Who stepped in to help Ling Xiao?

People speculated in their hearts.

And this person actually offended the One-eyed Pirate Group just to protect Ling Xiao. Who exactly is Ling Xiao to him (her)? What exactly has Ling Xiao done?

A remnant group of pirates surrounded Ling Xiao but dared not step forward.

The one who made a move has yet to show themselves.

They don’t know who their enemy is, but that person is definitely terrifying.

”Whoever dares to retreat, execute without mercy!”

The cold voice came from the Fire Captain’s mouth as he took the lead and charged forward.

Without his own involvement, relying on those under him was simply no match for Ling Xiao, as he now clearly realized.

”Yes!”

Finally, under the threat and encouragement from the Fire Captain, the pirates regained their confidence. The fear on their faces was replaced once more with brutality as they looked at Ling Xiao with icy glares, turning fierce and malevolent once again.

”Charge!”

The Fire Captain led at the front, with a group of pirates closely following behind. The surging killing intent actually converged into a torrent, sweeping across.

This time, there were no snowflakes dancing in the air, no chilling coldness.

However, the sky was filled with plum blossoms.

The air was filled with a delicate fragrance, intoxicating to behold.
