Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: Sacrificing Mo Chou

Ghost Zhonglou didn’t want to admit the weakness Ling Xiao had pointed out, but there was no use denying it.

The Yin-Yang Realm martial artists present began to stir, eager for action.

The first to rise into the air was the white-robed, hooded martial artist.

Boom!

In mid-air, the two exchanged a fierce palm strike.

The martial artist plummeted to the ground. Although he suffered a setback, he burst into laughter: ”Ling Xiao was right—you are not in your fully restored state.”

Then, he called out in a booming voice: ”Mo Chou, Fengming Wan Zhong, stop skulking around. If you want to share the Human King Notes, then act now.”

Him?

Ling Xiao listened to the familiar voice.

It couldn’t be anyone else—it was none other than Vice President Feng Qingyan of Qingxu College.

Feng Qingyan and Fengming Wan Zhong had indeed come.

Then, doesn’t that mean Feng Yingshan and Fengming Qishan are also here?

It seems these two aren’t just vying for the Divine Phoenix Empire’s throne but also have ambitions to dominate the Mysterious World.

If not for encountering me, Ling Xiao, as their competitor, they might actually stand a chance.

Ling Xiao let out a cold laugh and looked toward the battle’s direction.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan, Fengming Wan Zhong, and Mo Chou had all emerged.

If it were under normal circumstances, when Ghost Zhonglou was at full strength, these three teaming up wouldn’t pose any real threat.

But today’s situation is different.

Due to using a special method to travel, Ghost Zhonglou had expended a tremendous amount of energy—being able to utilize even 70 to 80% of his power would be remarkable.

Now, with the three joining forces, they could at least fight him to a draw.

Not to mention, Ghost Zhonglou’s opponents are not limited to just these three.

At this critical moment, Xie Li appeared.

The Heavenly Dynasty Empire had the former Grand Holy Emperor of the Sacred Dynasty holding the fort, coupled with the initial activation of the Divine Capital’s Defensive Array Formation, prompting her to rush to Danger City.

With Danger City in peril, her greatest concern was for Ling Xiao’s safety.

”Master!”

Seeing Ling Xiao unharmed, Xie Li’s face lit up with relief.

”So it’s Sister Xie Li. Since you’re here, lend a hand to those three and kill Ghost Zhonglou.”

Ling Xiao clearly understood how rare the opportunity to kill Ghost Zhonglou was.

Even the Moon Lady might not be able to eliminate him.

Now that Ghost Zhonglou was weakened and with experts present to assist, acting now would be ideal.

If Ghost Zhonglou isn’t killed, the Ghost Divine Hall will continue to trouble Ling Xiao in the future.

He was fed up with it.

Ling Xiao was not one to passively endure—Ghost Zhonglou had repeatedly threatened to annihilate him, and Ling Xiao believed in striking preemptively.

”Yes, Master!”

With Xie Li joining the fray, Ghost Zhonglou instantly found himself at a disadvantage.

Despite his tremendous strength, being besieged by four Yin-Yang Realm martial artists while in an imperfect condition made victory nearly impossible.

”Whoever kills him gets the Imperial Jade Seal, and the Human King Notes will still be shared!”

Just then, a cold, detached voice emerged from the crowd.

Ling Xiao glanced over—though the person had disguised their appearance, they couldn’t escape the scrutiny of his Tai Chi Eye.

”It really is Feng Yingshan. What a cunning man!”

To be honest, despite Feng Yingshan never openly opposing Ling Xiao—and even protecting him at times—Ling Xiao held no favorable impressions of him.

This man was too cunning, willing to manipulate anyone for power—even his own family.

Ling Xiao was also calculating but adhered to a moral boundary; he would never exploit his own friends or family.

Of course, a poor impression doesn’t necessarily mean enmity.

At least up to this point, the two could still be considered allies.

For reasons unknown, despite Feng Yingshan currently appearing to be at a disadvantage in the contest for the throne, Ling Xiao suspected that he would ultimately claim the position of Divine Phoenix Empire’s Emperor.

The man was too patient and too sly.

Ling Xiao even speculated that the suggestions made by Medicine King Sun Ran and Ji Qing were likely orchestrated by Feng Yingshan.

Later, Ling Xiao confirmed this; Feng Yingshan had indeed devised the plan.

From a certain perspective, Medicine King Sun Ran and Ji Qing had both been exploited by Feng Yingshan.

Today, Feng Qingyan, Fengming Wan Zhong, Mo Chou, and even Xie Li were merely pawns in his game.

Everyone was just utilizing each other, nothing more.

”His life is mine!”

Suddenly, Mo Chou roared and accelerated toward the heavily injured Ghost Zhonglou, who was being overwhelmed by the four.

Yet, Ghost Zhonglou’s gaze bore a hint of icy disdain—completely devoid of fear.

”Xie Li, retreat immediately!”

Ling Xiao shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, both Xie Li and Feng Qingyan instantly withdrew.

The two implicitly trusted Ling Xiao.

Fengming Wan Zhong hesitated for a moment before deciding to retreat as well.

As for Mo Chou, he completely disregarded Ling Xiao’s warning.

”Hahaha! Die, you worthless scum!”

At that moment, thirteen black Ghost God Dogs emerged from behind Ghost Zhonglou, their tails stretched long like tethered ropes.

The thirteen Ghost God Dogs sank their fangs into Mo Chou’s flesh.

”Sacrifice!”

With a chilling laugh, Ghost Zhonglou’s and Mo Chou’s bodies simultaneously ignited in eerie blue and purple flames, standing out in the dark night.

In the next instant, Mo Chou’s body exploded, and the blue and purple flames scattered wildly.

Fengming Wan Zhong, who stood closest, had his leg caught by the flames, which stubbornly refused to extinguish.

In terror and desperation, Fengming Wan Zhong severed his right leg entirely.

Xie Li and Feng Qingyan, having pulled back earlier, narrowly avoided being consumed by the flames.

As for Ghost Zhonglou, his body also burned with horrifying flames as he fled into the distance.

A sinister voice echoed: ”This grudge shall be repaid tenfold in the days to come!”

Ghost Zhonglou, a mighty figure, had fled.

Yet when he escaped, he took Mo Chou’s life—a small consolation.

Boom!

Suddenly, the heavens shifted dramatically.

Ghost Zhonglou, who was fleeing after killing Mo Chou, was struck and forced back by a powerful palm strike.

The momentum of his retreat visibly slowed.

”Ghost Zhonglou, since you’ve come to the Divine Phoenix Empire, why leave so hastily?”

A voice, like a clap of thunder, reverberated across the skies, shaking hearts with fear.

From the horizon, a celestial-like figure descended gracefully.

It wasn’t the Moon Lady but an unfamiliar woman.

”It’s you? Fengming Xiao!”

Ghost Zhonglou’s expression darkened.

Fengming Xiao, once the greatest prodigy of the Divine Phoenix Empire—rumored to have been drowned due to secret dealings with human martial artists—had returned and with greater power than ever before.

At the same time, Ling Xiao’s face displayed a strange look.

He remembered vividly that his senior brother Wu Xiang had sent him to the Divine Phoenix Empire specifically to find a woman named Fengming Xiao.

Unexpectedly, her cultivation level now rivaled that of Ghost Zhonglou.

”Indeed, it is I! Ghost Zhonglou, your tyrannies across the White Tiger Continent are of no concern to me. But this is the Divine Phoenix Empire—here, your misdeeds will not be tolerated!”

With effortless grace, Fengming Xiao landed, her gaze cold as she addressed Ghost Zhonglou.
