Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

After one more collision.

Ling Xiao was also sent flying.

But his situation was clearly much better than his opponent’s.

He flipped once in midair and then landed steadily on the ground, looking as if he hadn’t been injured at all.

Not the slightest injury.

”Defeated! I actually lost!”

Commander Chen lay on the ground, staring up at the sky. For a moment he simply couldn’t accept such an ending.

He had lost, and lost so miserably.

He could even feel the crazed power of thunder and lightning inside his body constantly tearing him apart.

He could probably cling to life for a few more minutes at most.

”You! Who exactly are you! I’m already about to die, can’t you at least tell me the truth?”

Commander Chen shouted, using almost the last of his strength.

”I already said, I’m Ling Xiao. I just happened to be lucky. Thanks to the generosity of the Yue State Palace, I was granted Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow and forged a Top-level Thunder and Lightning Battle Body. Otherwise, if I’d met you today, I really would’ve died.”

Ling Xiao glanced at Commander Chen; he actually felt a bit of sympathy for this man.

After all, he had no deep grudge against him. It was just that the other party wanted to kill him, so he had to kill in return—nothing more than that.

Besides, he had already said that if the other party survived a single strike from him, he wouldn’t attack again.

He was someone whose words always counted; he would never go back on them.

”Commander!”

Dawn Wind Moon and Dawn Wind Sun looked at Commander Chen, who was on his last breath. While they were in pain, they were also filled with fear.

Since when had Ling Xiao become so powerful?

They just couldn’t understand.

Was it really all because of the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow?

”You two, get lost. I’ve killed him, and I can’t be bothered to keep killing.”

”But I’m warning you, don’t even think about revenge. Otherwise, I’ll make sure all the years of effort your Yue State Palace has put in are completely wasted.”

Ling Xiao sheathed the White Jade Flying Dragon Sword.

Defeating Commander Chen had basically vented all the anger he’d been holding in.

You could say Dawn Wind Moon and Dawn Wind Sun were lucky.

”Thank you for sparing us. In the Cattle Shed Maze, I definitely won’t make you my enemy.”

Dawn Wind Sun hastily cupped his fists, then turned and fled.

As for Dawn Wind Moon, she didn’t say a single word. She merely glanced once at Commander Chen’s corpse, then left as well.

This woman was truly ruthless. Commander Chen had died for their sake, yet they didn’t even take his body?

He didn’t know that Dawn Wind Moon just wanted to leave as soon as possible, then, once she recovered her strength, come back to seek revenge on him.

Because Dawn Wind Moon felt that she still had the strength to defeat Ling Xiao now. But if she let Ling Xiao continue to grow, she’d completely lose her chance.

For revenge, the Bull God Labyrinth might be her only opportunity.

”Forget it. We fought a great battle, at least. I’ll lay you to rest.”

Ling Xiao looked at Commander Chen’s corpse and sighed.

”Wait! Take this! To think I fought for them, yet in the end I have to rely on you to bury me. It really is somewhat ironic.

This is a thunder-attribute dagger.

I got it from a major clan that was confiscated. Supposedly it records some kind of secret.

But all these years, I’ve never managed to decipher it.

Today I’ll give it to you, in exchange for leaving my body whole.”

These were Commander Chen’s last words before he died.

He hadn’t put this dagger into his Storage Ring, but wrapped it in cloth and kept it close to him at all times.

If he hadn’t mentioned it, Ling Xiao really might have missed it.

The dagger was very short, only slightly longer than a three-inch Flying Dagger, about five or six inches long.

On the hilt was inlaid a purple-blue gemstone, with the character ”Xuan” carved on it. Who knew what it meant?

The instant he held it, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a terrifying power of thunder and lightning surge out from within the dagger.

Fortunately, he now had a Top-level Thunder and Lightning Battle Body, otherwise he might have been injured.

”What a fine treasure. I don’t know what secret it holds, but I’ll study it slowly later.”

He put the dagger and Commander Chen’s belongings into the Storage Ring.

Only then did Ling Xiao properly bury this Commander Chen.

At first he’d only planned to bury him casually, but since the man had given him such a fine item before he died, it was only right to give him a proper burial, if only for that.

After finishing all this, Ling Xiao headed for Eight Immortals Mountain.

When he returned to the side courtyard, he released Yue Shang and Lin Ruoxian from the Beast Ring and spent three days and nights carefully healing their injuries.

Not only that, during the healing process he also helped clear their blocked meridians.

This allowed Lin Ruoxian, whose cultivation level had already reached the Pinnacle of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Layer of Hell, to miraculously break through and become a Martial Artist at the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell Early Stage.

Yue Shang advanced from the First-turn Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level of Hell Late Stage to the First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell Early Stage.

In terms of combat strength they were still inferior to Ling Xiao and Lin Ruoxian, but their cultivation level was already comparable.

Furthermore, Ling Xiao completely erased the Instrument Spirits inside two Magical Treasures, making them belong to Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang.

Only after they recognized a master could these two Magical Treasures unleash their full power.

Of course, the two women’s injuries were naturally fully healed as well.

Although it had taken him three days and nights, to Ling Xiao this wasn’t a waste of time.

These two girls had been willing to risk their lives to protect him. He was merely spending a few days—

how could he possibly feel wronged?

”This is great, Brother Ling Xiao. Your strength is probably no weaker than that Dawn Wind Moon now.

With the two of us working with you, even if we run into Chen Beixuan and Lin Yuetian, we won’t have to be afraid.

Unless the two of them join forces, the victory in this Bull God Labyrinth will definitely be ours.”

Yue Shang said excitedly.

”Yeah. But nothing in this world is one hundred percent certain, so next, we still need to cultivate steadily.

There are six days left until the Bull God Labyrinth contest. We have to firmly stabilize our current cultivation level.

Only then can we truly shock the other contestants.”

Ling Xiao remained very calm.

”Brother Ling Xiao is right. But aren’t you planning to go seek revenge on the Sword Clan?”

Yue Shang asked.

Earlier, Ling Xiao had already used the Four-leaf Demon Eye to obtain some information from Chi Lian.

It seemed that someone from the Sword Clan had deliberately exposed his whereabouts.

That was why Yue Shang asked this.

”No rush. The most important thing right now is the contest for the Bull God Labyrinth. After this battle is over, the Sword Clan and Sha Clan won’t need to exist anymore.

Did they really think the words I, Ling Xiao, said were just wind in their ears?”

Ling Xiao said coldly.

With his current cultivation level, he could definitely exterminate the Sword Clan. After all, the Sword Clan no longer had any clan elders.

The strongest among them was nothing more than the likes of Jian Kun.

But to avoid trouble, he still decided to wait a few more days and let Jian Kun and the others live a little longer.

”Ling Xiao is right. If you went for revenge now, it would probably incur the displeasure of the Thirteenth Prince.

This Thirteenth Prince arrived in Eight Immortals County City three days ago.

He declared that no inner conflicts would be allowed before the Bull God Labyrinth began.

Anyone who broke this rule would die.

It’s precisely because of this that the Duke Yates hasn’t come to Eight Immortals Mountain to cause us trouble.”

Lin Ruoxian explained what she knew.
