Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

The expert from the Night People Tribe used Soul Power to set up a Wind Shield.

Attempting to block Ling Xiao’s attack.

”It’s useless, your Soul Power is inferior to mine, your defense in front of me is worthless!”

Bang!

A terrifying roar emanated from within the dense forest, that dreadful black Sword Light seemed to split the entire woodland, tearing through those Wind Shields as easily as ripping paper.

Finally stabbing directly into that expert of the Night People Tribe.

Ah!

The Night People Tribe expert let out a piercing scream, and their Soul Sea was shattered by Ling Xiao’s sword.

The bursting of the Soul Sea meant that this person was completely reduced to a walking corpse, their eyes, once filled with battle intent, suddenly turned blank.

Clearly, the one killed by Ling Xiao was a leader of the Night People Tribe.

At the very least, they should have been the head of this raid team.

Their death planted immense fear within the Night People Tribe’s ranks.

To know that this person, whose terrifying strength ranked in the top ten within the Night People Country, was slain so easily.

How could they not be afraid?

A strange sound, resembling an eagle’s cry, was heard from underground, following which the Night People hidden in the forest began to flee en masse.

Clearly, the leader’s death made them fearful and aware of their opponent’s strength.

Realizing there was no benefit in remaining.

The more powerful a martial artist’s Soul Power, the greater the fear induced upon failure.

Both Mo Dao and Prince Wu gave Ling Xiao an intentional but fleeting glance.

Clearly, they were both shocked by Ling Xiao’s battle technique.

The style of fighting purely using Soul Power was something exclusive to the Soul Clan or Night People Tribe.

Who exactly is this Ling Xiao?

”Humph, regardless of who you are, if you dare fight me for the spoils, you will only find death.”

Mo Dao snorted coldly, thinking to himself.

Prince Wu, on the other hand, was watching Ling Xiao with contemplation.

Ling Xiao’s status as the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire was known to him, and this person’s path of growth was nothing short of an astonishing legend.

If he could be recruited to serve the Royal Family, it would be a great fortune.

Ling Xiao was unaware of their thoughts, his focus was solely on whether the eight people he brought had encountered any trouble.

Mo Yu and Zhu Shao Cong were both injured, but the injuries were not severe.

And these injuries were the best way to hone their combat skills.

If they were completely protected because of fear of death, it wouldn’t be helping them, but harming them.

Observing the other martial artists, they were truly in a miserable state.

Out of two hundred martial artists, only over a hundred and fifty remained now.

Many martial artists probably regretted entering this underground world, after all, they hadn’t seen a single treasure, yet countless were already dead or injured, truly frustrating.

Though there was no immediate danger, no one dared to linger, leaving the corpses behind and hastening away.

Injured martial artists also struggled to keep up, fearing they would be abandoned.

After all, this group was not from the same sect, and some didn’t even know each other; who would empathize with whom?

If you are a valuable fighting force, perhaps others might lend you a hand, but when you become a burden, only an idiot would care about your survival.

”Damn, who knows when this journey will end, it’s been so long without encountering even a fart.”

Amidst the crowd, a martial artist grumbled.

The so-called not encountering anything clearly stemmed from dissatisfaction due to not seeing the treasure yet.

Many shared this sentiment.

However, the journey had to be continued.

This underground world seemed large and divided into different regions.

Because they discovered some strange buildings with various plaques, though they couldn’t read the script, it looked like boundary markers.

”It seems the Night People Tribe in this subterranean world is divided into many clans, and they all serve a single Night Demon, who grants them powerful Soul Power and Soul Secret Techniques.”

Ling Xiao, analyzing the text using the Tai Chi Eye, walked and translated the esoteric text swiftly.

The Night Demon is considered the god of the Night People Tribe, though rather than being a god, it’s more like an expert who controls the laws of the underground world, similar to the seven rulers of the Mysterious World.

But the Night Demon is far weaker than the seven rulers, their controlled regions are small, limited to the Night People’s domain, without crossing boundaries.

However, Night Demons certainly vary in strength, and inevitably would absorb and devour each other, naturally birthing an even more terrifying Night Demon King, akin to the King of Sovereigns.

Ling Xiao discovered that they had just passed the area full of caverns belonging to the clan ranked at the bottom among the Four Great Clans of the Night People Country – the Night Wind Clan.

If they continued forward, they would encounter the strongest clan of the Night People Country - the Dark Flame Clan.

The Night Wind Clan excels in wind-type Soul Secret Techniques.

The Dark Flame Clan specializes in fire-type Soul Secret Techniques.

Ling Xiao shared what he saw as he walked.

He aimed to go further, but relied on these people to continue aiding him.

If only the nine of them were left, someone was bound to be sacrificed.

But now, he would do his best to shift the deaths onto those greedy cannon fodders.

Passing through a clearing of flowers, a stunningly beautiful flower quietly moved.

Then suddenly bloomed, revealing a hideous Blood Bowl, biting towards Ling Xiao.

Boom!

Ling Xiao didn’t even look at that ghastly Carnivorous Plant, such plants were nearly extinct on the surface, yet existed in this underground world.

Even possessing Soul consciousness.

Unlike those Carnivorous Plants attacking targets purely by instinct.

He merely waved his hand, sending a peculiar flame from his palm, burning the Carnivorous Plant to ashes instantly.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was shocked, then decided to act first when seeing those mesmerizing flowers.

Those flowers, faced with the situation, performed a jaw-dropping act.

They actually uprooted themselves to escape!

That’s right, they ran!

Like they had feet!

”The Soul Power here is too strong, even plants are becoming spirits. Everyone better be careful, in one li, we’ll reach the Dark Flame Clan’s territory.”

Ling Xiao warned.

”Why must we go to the Dark Flame Clan, can’t we go elsewhere?”

Someone asked worriedly.

After all, the Night Wind Clan was terrifying enough, how fearsome would the Dark Flame Clan, ranked first in the Night People Country, be?

”We can go elsewhere, but the map marks a ’Soul Temple’ located within the Dark Flame Clan’s territory, and inside the Soul Temple, there supposedly exists the Soul Intent left by numerous powerful beings. Acquiring these intents means obtaining their martial arts legacy. If you wish to withdraw, no problem, leave in that direction.”

Ling Xiao pointed towards a direction.

The direction he pointed was completely random.

Since the map didn’t mark any path leading out, only the location of the Soul Temple.
