Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: Life-Saving Pills?

Corpse Granny never thought she would one day face such a fate—betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

”Regret it? Feel fear? But it’s already too late. When you framed me, when you slandered Stewart Scarlett, you should’ve realized just how tragic your ending would be.

This is merely your retribution.

So just accept it with peace!”

Suddenly, the massive Tao Tie swung its claws toward Corpse Granny. Those enormous claws were infused with the energy of the Lingxiao Nine Tripod Sword Domain. Each nail was like a Giant Sword, imbued with a terrifying, world-destroying killing intent.

Using her last ounce of strength, Corpse Granny dragged several disciples of Blue Wave Island before her with a skeletal grip, intending to use their lives to block the danger.

But to no avail, as those people were ripped to shreds in an instant by the sharp Sword Qi.

It was as though they were dismembered by wild horses. The scene was truly horrifying.

”Run... if we don’t run, we’re finished! There’s no reason for us to die alongside Corpse Granny!”

Ling Xiao’s overwhelming power completely exposed the true colors of Blue Wave Island’s people.

One by one, they revealed themselves as spineless cowards, utterly shameless!

Ling Xiao truly unleashed a massacre, as if stepping into an unchallenged domain, slaughtering the people of Blue Wave Island without restraint.

Not only that, enormous Skeleton Soldiers wielding scythe-like weapons harvested lives indiscriminately.

A tiny Butterfly danced gracefully among the crowd, and with each touch, a life was completely consumed.

Butterfly Girl and Ling Xiao’s allies, summoned through the God Tomb Eye, were equally formidable.

Aside from Seng Li, they were nearly unstoppable, capable of killing everyone else.

”Now you think of running? How unfortunate—it’s already too late.”

Ling Xiao’s eyes held not a shred of sympathy or mercy.

”Nine Cauldron Sword Domain!”

As his voice fell, enormous Nine Cauldrons suppressed a range of over ten meters in the surrounding area.

Terrifying strands of Sword Qi scrutinized every disciple of Blue Wave Island.

Several attempted to escape but were mercilessly pierced through by this Sword Qi, dying on the spot.

This wasn’t a Sword Domain—it was a Demon Realm!

The disciples of Blue Wave Island were utterly dumbfounded.

They had heard tales of Ling Xiao’s fearsome reputation, but never expected him to be such a terrifying figure.

Had they known, they would have never provoked this fiend.

”You’ve already made your choices; now you must face the consequences. Every one of you will die here!”

Ling Xiao’s icy voice emerged like frost crystals from his lips.

Each word vibrated through the air, causing shivers to run down spines.

The Ghost Shadow Sword appeared in his right hand, and its boundless Sword Intent permeated the Sword Domain.

”Die!”

As the Ghost Shadow Sword swung down, Sword Qi from the Sword Domain surged forth.

In an instant, dozens of Blue Wave Island disciples were pierced through by a single sword strike.

What was astonishing was the consistency of the point of impact.

Every strike landed on the throat!

Every one at the most lethal spot!

Death—so simple, so absolute.

The heavens and earth within this confined space were stained red with blood.

Corpse Granny stared blankly at the carnage, as the horrifying truth dawned upon her.

Her greatest miscalculation regarding Ling Xiao had been this:

Ling Xiao was no hero.

He was merely someone who acted solely according to his own whims, and such individuals were the most dangerous of all!

Unrestrained. Chaotic. Unyielding!

”Frightened now? Terrified? I thought someone like you, who toyed with others’ corpses, had long lost any fear of death. But who would’ve thought—you’re scared of death after all.”

Ling Xiao gazed coolly at Corpse Granny.

By now, aside from Seng Li and Corpse Granny, everyone else had been killed.

Even Seng Li was rendered crippled under the combined assault of Butterfly Girl and the Skeleton Soldiers, lying broken before Stewart Scarlett.

”He’s your enemy. If you wish, I’ll leave him to you to kill.”

Ling Xiao spoke calmly.

Facing Seng Li, Stewart Scarlett didn’t hesitate in the slightest and struck decisively, severing his head with one slice.

Seng Li not only knew of her sister’s tragedy—he was an accomplice.

With Mo Shao You dead, Stewart Scarlett’s vendetta for her sister naturally fell to Seng Li’s hands.

No chance for Seng Li to defend himself was given.

She couldn’t risk being swayed by his flowery words and faltering at the critical moment.

She wasn’t like Ling Xiao—her heart was too soft.

”Only you remain. Do you know why I saved you for last?”

Ling Xiao fixed his gaze on Corpse Granny, a cold smile curling on his lips. ”It’s because you’re more despicable than the others. And for that, I’ve prepared a special gift—to let you savor it fully.”

”You! Don’t kill me, I was wrong, I truly was! Spare my pathetic life, and I’ll let you do whatever you please!”

Corpse Granny was utterly overwhelmed by regret.

She finally understood that Ling Xiao was far more frightening than she had ever imagined—far more demonic!

The tales of him being ’exceptionally skilled’ were grossly understated. He was a demon of fear itself.

Her face contorted into the expression of a defeated figure—

Terror, cowardice, panic.

The arrogance, triumph, and ruthlessness she once wielded had completely disappeared.

Ling Xiao had even killed Seng Li—there was no one on Blue Wave Island who could resist him now.

Corpse Granny knew in her heart:

The Island Master could barely survive under Moon Lady’s wrath; rescuing her was utterly impossible.

So in these desperate moments, she could only plead for mercy.

Yielding to the faint hope of Ling Xiao’s compassion—an appeal to spare her life.

”Begging for mercy? Really, can’t you show a little dignity? Here, take this. It’s a pill I refined—it should help you quickly recover your strength. Then, we can settle things in a fair one-on-one fight, how about that?”

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, tossing a pill to Corpse Granny.

”Is it truly a recovery pill?”

Corpse Granny evidently didn’t trust Ling Xiao’s intentions.

”Use it or don’t; either way, you’re going to die.”

Ling Xiao replied indifferently.

The truth was evident—Corpse Granny had no room for negotiation. Even if the pill was poisonous, she would have no choice but to take it.

After a moment of silence, Corpse Granny swallowed the pill.

Moments later, her face lit up with glee.

”Haha! Boy, not bad at all—you actually dared to give an old woman like me such Spiritual Elixir. Now that I’ve awakened, you’re in trouble.”

Corpse Granny grinned viciously.

Ling Xiao, however, remained calm, his expression serene.

”Already gloating? It seems you’re still no more than this.”

”Boy, I know you have numbers on your side, and this old woman isn’t your match. But you probably don’t realize—I’ve got a secret technique that even the Island Master fears!”

Corpse Granny appeared composed, even confident.

”Oh? So you believe you can kill us now?”

Ling Xiao asked.

A sneer played at the corners of his lips. This granny, oblivious to the fact that her life was already in his hands.
