Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1359 Unfair and Biased

Mouths agape, everyone seemed to be in a state of oxygen deprivation, panting heavily.

All because of that terrifyingly spectacular sword.

What a dreadful sword it was, unforgettable for anyone who saw it.

This sword, coming from the hand of Ling Xiao!

A martial artist who was only at the Heavenly Human Realm Ninth Layer half a year ago.

Yet today, with this sword, he completely defeated the arrogant Second Cave Heaven Realm genius Shangguan Hong!

Before Ling Xiao made a move, most people would not have thought this would be the outcome.

They believed Ling Xiao wasn’t a match for Shangguan Hong.

Even Feng Xidao, who had been defeated by Ling Xiao, thought Shangguan Hong was stronger.

But this sword slashed many people’s faces completely.

Mournful cries soared straight into the sky above the Imperial Capital Square, making people tremble.

One of Shangguan Hong’s arms was chopped off, and during the fall, it completely melted and turned into ash, disappearing without a trace.

Ling Xiao showed mercy.

He initially planned to kill Shangguan Hong, but the latter’s change of heart made him reconsider, sparing his life but cutting off an arm.

Shangguan Hong looked incredulously at his severed arm, the wound already scorched, long past bleeding.

”Why spare me? You know I wanted you dead just now!”

He truly couldn’t believe he was still alive; rumors said Ling Xiao was a vengeful demon, leaving hardly anyone alive under his hand.

Ling Xiao retracted his battle intent, smiled, and said, ”Because you had a change of heart, so you saved yourself. How your path should continue, I think I don’t need to say much, there’s still some time before the Dragon Tiger selection, I believe you’ll get stronger.”

”But if I return to Qingxu College now, will people there still accept me? Will the Phoenix God College people forgive me?”

Shangguan Hong asked.

”You can’t expect me to be your nanny. The things you’ve done will inevitably earn hatred, so there are some consequences you must bear. All I can say is, I won’t despise you. As for the people from Phoenix God College, they wouldn’t dare cause trouble for you within the college premises.”

Ling Xiao said calmly, ”That’s all I have to say, take care of yourself.”

Shangguan Hong lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, then finally raised his head and said, ”I want to go back, the teachers at Qingxu College have treated me well, especially Senior Sister Mingkong and Vice President Feng Qingyan. Even if they scold me to death, I accept it.

Now, I just want, like you, to be an upright version of myself, confront anyone from Phoenix God College who wishes to come.”

”Good, that’s the pride of a man!”

Ling Xiao had a thought unsaid, as long as Shangguan Hong sincerely returns to Qingxu College, if Phoenix God College sends someone stronger than Shangguan Hong to cause trouble, he would help resolve it.

After all, he was the one who persuaded Shangguan Hong to turn back.

The crowd’s mouths seem unable to close.

If Ling Xiao’s proud defeat of Shangguan Hong shocked them,

then Shangguan Hong not hating Ling Xiao after losing an arm and agreeing to return to Qingxu College startled them even more.

Shangguan Hong is currently affiliated with Phoenix God College, though it’s not expressly forbidden for him to leave, would Phoenix God College allow him to leave easily?

”Shangguan Hong, you better think it through, leaving Phoenix God College is not as easy as leaving Qingxu College; it comes with a price.”

Jia Tianfeng said coldly, staring at Shangguan Hong.

”Exactly, joining Phoenix God College is easy, leaving isn’t.”

Kong Ming added.

”Ridiculous, you two threatened me like this before, I cowered because I lost to Ji Mingxing, I’ve acted cowardly once before, but this time, I won’t be afraid anymore. What do you two think you are? Don’t assume you can climb over me because I lost to Ling Xiao. If you have the guts, come and fight!”

Shangguan Hong looked domineeringly at Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming.

”You mean, us two?”

Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming exchanged a glance, revealing wicked smiles.

”Exactly, both of you at once. If I lose, not only will I renounce the Phoenix Son position, but I will commit suicide on the spot.”

Shangguan Hong said loudly.

Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming glanced at Ling Xiao, filled with apprehension towards him.

”Don’t worry, I won’t interfere.”

Ling Xiao turned and slowly walked off the stage.

Next, it’s Shangguan Hong’s show.

Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming are truly foolish. Shangguan Hong may have lost to him, Ling Xiao, but Shangguan Hong’s strength is significantly mightier than ordinary Second Cave Heaven Realm martial artists, and even against typical Third Cave Heaven Realm martial artists, he isn’t at a disadvantage.

Although Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming’s skills are decent, they’ve just stepped into the Second Cave Heaven Realm.

If Ling Xiao was not mistaken, this battle wouldn’t take long.

”Ah~~”

”Impossible!”

Just a few breaths.

Only two moves.

Ling Xiao hadn’t even walked back to his seat, and Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming had already been thrown off the stage.

”You worthless fools dare threaten me? Do you really think you’re Ling Xiao?”

Though Shangguan Hong had just one arm left, he seemed stronger than before.

Because during the duel with Ling Xiao, he learned a lot, and while he couldn’t mimic Ling Xiao’s strength, he surely gained greatly.

Looking at Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming fallen to the ground.

The crowd once again stirred in excitement.

Before Shangguan Hong, Feng Xidao was defeated!

Jia Tianfeng was defeated!

Kong Ming was defeated!

Even Jia Tianfeng and Kong Ming were defeated despite joining forces.

However, Ling Xiao easily won, severing Shangguan Hong’s arm, making Shangguan Hong worship him profoundly.

How strong is Ling Xiao truly?

The position of Phoenix Son today probably requires no further consideration; clearly, it’s Ling Xiao and Shangguan Hong.

”Hahaha, great, my Phoenix God Empire is truly full of talent. Today, I hereby announce, Shangguan Hong as the Ninth Phoenix Son, bestowed the title ’Rainbow Phoenix Son’!

Ji Luoyu as the Tenth Phoenix Son, bestowed the title ’Rainfall Phoenix Son’.”

Phoenix Immeasurable stood up, announcing the results of the Phoenix Son competition.

No, something’s amiss!

The crowd suddenly stirred.

”Clearly, Ling Xiao is the strongest; why isn’t he a Phoenix Son? Instead, Ji Luoyu is given the position?”

”This is unfair.”

”Right, how can the Emperor judge so arbitrarily? It’s too disappointing.”

Listening to the discussions below, Phoenix Immeasurable chuckled lightly: ”Everyone, don’t be hasty. The reason I didn’t bestow the title of Phoenix Son to Dragon King Ling Xiao is because I know he won’t accept it.”

”Oh, so that’s the reason. Ling Xiao is indeed proud; he likely wouldn’t want to be restrained.”

”That makes sense.”

”I say that’s nonsense!”

Ling Xiao’s voice overpowered all the chatter, coldly looking at Phoenix Immeasurable and said, ”Whether I accept it is my business. Whether you bestow it or not is yours; don’t mix them!

Even if I don’t accept, you should at least ask me, seek my opinion.

Do you treat me as non-existent?

Corruption and partiality are just that; no need to sugarcoat it!”
