Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Ling Xiao’s figure flickered under the heavens, like a single point of light in the pitch-black night, bringing hope of survival to those being hunted by the Blood Demon Beasts.

He remained silent, feeling the power accumulating within him after slaying the Blood Demon Beasts.

Still, there were no signs of breakthrough.

It seemed that to truly break through the Yin-Yang Realm, he must fully master the Sky Demon Battle Intent.

As for the Nine Deaths Reincarnation Technique, he still maintained a restrained approach, avoiding its use whenever possible.

”What’s happening over there?”

In the distance, Black Crow City came into clear view, and Ling Xiao noticed that a large number of Martial Artists were barred at the city gates.

They thought they had found hope, only to be left with nowhere to turn, slaughtered by the Blood Demon Beasts outside Black Crow City’s gates.

”Damn, it looks like Black Crow City has closed all its gates, allowing exit but not entry. It seems we can’t go there anymore.”

Alan also noticed the situation over there, and said helplessly, ”Black Crow City is mostly inhabited by the nobles of the Black Crow Empire and the wealthy.

They only care about their own lives, so why would they care about the life and death of these commoners?

I nearly forgot, Black Crow City has always been a shelter for the nobles, what right do commoners have to enter?”

Ling Xiao glanced at the city, discovering that it was divided into three parts: the Inner City, the Central City, and the Outer City.

According to Alan’s explanation, the Inner City, also known as the Royal City, is where the royal family resides, guarded by a strong royal guard.

The Central City is where the nobles live, also guarded by the Imperial Guard.

The Outer City is home to the wealthy and the Black Crow City Defense Army, with some civilians being merchants, as even nobles and the army need top-grade supplies.

At this moment, all three city gates were shut tight, the towering gates blocking not only the Blood Demon Beasts but also the hope of all Martial Artists seeking refuge.

”It’s not necessarily impossible to enter.”

Ling Xiao showed a hint of a smile and said, ”After all, I came to the Black Crow Empire to overthrow this decaying imperial court. What do you think, if I save these common people in front of everyone, wouldn’t it win the hearts of the people for the Heavenly Dynasty Empire?”

”Of course!”

Alan’s eyes lit up.

Ling Xiao’s suggestion, although risky, was worth trying, because the potential gains would be tremendous if successful.

Quickly, they fought their way to the outskirts of Black Crow City.

This Black Crow City had also established a No-Fly Array, preventing flight within a kilometer’s radius of the city, forcing them to approach on foot.

There was no other way, being the Imperial City, such strong defenses were normal.

The only way was to do as Ling Xiao had done when he broke through the Divine Phoenix Imperial City last time: eliminate the people inside, destroy the Defensive Array.

But this time the situation was a bit special; outside the city, Blood Demon Beasts laid siege, and destroying the array could lead to Black Crow City’s total destruction.

That was not what he wanted.

After all, he very much wanted to keep such a solid city.

The closer they got to Black Crow City, the more they could see the towering majesty of the city.

Although its land area wasn’t as vast as the Divine Phoenix Imperial City, the magnificence of its architecture was even more impressive.

”Roar, roar, roar...”

Outside Black Crow City, commoner Martial Artists were fiercely battling Blood Demon Beasts.

Although they couldn’t enter the city, having their backs against the city was still better than being completely surrounded.

At this moment, they fought desperately, hoping that the experts within Black Crow City would appear and help them repel these terrifying Blood Demon Beasts.

The terrifying roars of the Blood Demon Beasts kept echoing, bringing immense pressure to tens of thousands of commoner Martial Artists and summoning more Blood Demon Beasts from all directions.

On top of the city walls, the City Defense Army leader watched indifferently at the scene outside the city.

No orders were given to open the gates.

Nor were there orders to attack the Blood Demon Beasts.

Instead, it seemed like they were enjoying the slaughter outside the city.

Sitting beside him was a richly dressed old man, flanked by beautiful women, feeding him grapes and fine wine.

”Hahaha, hahaha, it’s entertaining, truly entertaining. These lowly commoners are blocking the Blood Demon Beasts for us; whether they kill some or get killed, it’s all good, hahaha.”

Among the soldiers, some were moved with compassion, others with anger, but when facing this old man, they dared not speak up despite their feelings.

The elder was a Half-step Yin Yang Realm Martial Artist with five-tenths Yin-Yang Yuan Power Cultivation, and more importantly, the City Lord of the Outer City of Black Crow City, a genuine noble.

Who would dare offend him; they might just get thrown out of the city.

Ling Xiao glanced at the situation on top of the city walls and inwardly cursed.

Then, a pitch-black shadow slipped into the city along the ground.

Leng Mei disappeared simultaneously, like a phantom, the towering city gate couldn’t stop her at all.

Alan remained on the Golden Eagle, assisting the Martial Artists outside the city in fighting against the Blood Demon Beasts.

Ling Xiao’s idea was simple: clear out the Blood Demon Beasts outside the city first, then during the gap, have the infiltrated Son of Shadow and Leng Mei disable the array and open the gates.

Let all the Martial Artists outside into the city.

He was a man who aimed to achieve great things.

To accomplish great things, he naturally needed support, needed the will of the people.

By now, nearly a hundred thousand Martial Artists had gathered outside the city, many of whom were Half-step Yin Yang Realm Martial Artists.

If he could gain their support, the military power of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire would grow even stronger.

So today, he must be a hero!

He was such a person; sometimes he could transform into a demon, instilling terror and fear into everyone’s hearts.

At other times, he could become a hero, worshiped and cheered by countless people.

He acted entirely according to his heart, without simple black-and-white justice.

After all, many things in this world aren’t simply black or white; there’s much more gray areas.

As long as it seemed beneficial and doable, he would do it.

”Roar!”

Suddenly, Ling Xiao roared, like the roar of a Divine Dragon, attracting all the attention of the Blood Demon Beasts.

The Blood Demon Beasts were mindless creatures by nature.

Their targets were driven only by instinct.

Ling Xiao’s roar clearly caught their attention, even though they knew this young man was more terrifying than the Martial Artists they had encountered before.

Yet they still focused on Ling Xiao, wanting to tear him to pieces.

”Isn’t that guy an idiot?”

On the city walls, the noble elder was momentarily stunned, then laughed.

”Respected Lord, whether he’s an idiot or not doesn’t matter. The important thing is that we can still watch the fun.”

The City Defense Army leader said with a smile.

”Hahaha, makes sense, makes sense.”

The noble elder excitedly looked at Ling Xiao. Although he didn’t know what this fool was up to, watching the spectacle wasn’t a bad idea.

Surrounding Ling Xiao were nearly ten thousand Blood Demon Beasts, if not more.

The weakest among them were Heavenly Man Realm Blood Demon Beasts, while the strongest had reached the Half-step Yin Yang Realm.

Additionally, there were at least three Half-step Yin Yang Realm Blood Demon Beasts.
