"Hahaha, this kid is impressive indeed," he sneered before the match even began, and he has already disrupted Hei Suo’s composure. Now I’m truly inclined to believe that he completed the mission alone and might even have slain the Plague Demon King instead of having him escape."
Golden Light Heavenly Lord suddenly burst into laughter.
Ling Xiao didn’t bother to explain anything. In truth, he hadn’t ntioned that he had killed the Plague Demon King simply because he found it too troubleso to clarify. If the Elders of the Moon Hua Sect believed as much, then he would readily admit to it.
He had also thought it through; keeping the key that opened the True Demon Empire Treasure for himself wouldn’t be of much use.
Such a key required the collection of nine to potentially open the treasure, so it would be better to make use of the Sect’s power to find them and then reap the fisherman’s benefits afterward.
Therefore, he planned to find a reason to hand it over to the Sect, which could also help him accumulate so Sect points.
Having killed the Plague Demon King and obtained this key might just be the best reason; he wouldn’t even need to look for another.
"Golden Light, stop joking," Elder Jin said disdainfully. "According to Shangguan Lei’s report, the strength of the Plague Demon King is roughly around the early phase of the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer. Although far from his forr self, it’s still not soone Ling Xiao could have killed."
Elder Jin dismissed the idea.
How could he believe anything that ca from Ling Xiao when he did not believe any of his words, let alone believe that Ling Xiao had killed the Plague Demon King?
Hearing this, Ling Xiao kept silent; the upcoming battle with Hei Suo would be his answer. After that fight, he believed Elder Jin would no longer doubt his ability.
"Hahaha, I was rely hazarding a guess, Elder Supre, no need to get angry, no need at all," said Golden Light Heavenly Lord amidst laughter.
"Hmph, such jokes are better left unmade," Elder Jin comnted before turning to Ling Xiao and saying, "Ling Xiao, there’s still ti to tell the truth. Otherwise, once Hei Suo makes his move, if you can’t withstand fifty moves, we will capture you by any ans necessary to find out what exactly happened here."
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Supre, but this disciple has spoken nothing but the truth. If you insist on worrying, better worry about Senior Black Rope instead. This isn’t a re sparring match; God forbid I accidentally kill him in the process, I hope the Elder Supre won’t bla for it," Ling Xiao replied indifferently.
"Fate determines life or death! There’s no need for you to show rcy. Use the sa thod you used to deal with the Plague Demon King on Black Rope," said Elder Jin, who seed to have full confidence in Hei Suo, before telling him, "The sa goes for you, no need to hold back!"
Then, he secretly transmitted his voice to Hei Suo, "I swallowed my pride to get you this opportunity, don’t you dare waste it. Kill this boy to avenge both yourself and your master!"
"This disciple understands!" Hei Suo was brimming with excitent inside.
The opportunity had arrived!
That he would get the chance to kill Ling Xiao so soon was almost incredulous to him!
Of course, he would not waste this opportunity. Ling Xiao must die!
This was decreed by the Elder Supre of the Enforcent Hall; even if he killed Ling Xiao in front of all these people, there wouldn’t be any repercussions.
The underground palace once again turned into a battlefield.
Only this ti, there were many more spectators.
Aside from the four Inner Sect Elders, all the others were elite Inner Sect Disciples.
Ling Xiao slowly approached Hei Suo.
In that instant, two solidified beams of cold light shot from Hei Suo’s eyes.
They were the blades of a hateful gaze!
They were the blades of a violently angry gaze!
These two beams pierced through the many barriers separating the two n, stabbing into Ling Xiao like pointed knives.
Ling Xiao also looked at Hei Suo.
Back when he was in White Cloud Temple of Yunkong City, he swore an oath that he must kill Hei Suo!
Hei Suo had forcefully snatched Ming Tian from Master Baiyun and even tried to put him in a life-threatening situation.
At that ti, Ling Xiao lacked the strength to slay Hei Suo and could only severely injure him by using unconventional thods, and it was the sudden appearance of a Soul Clan master that allowed him to escape death.
Today, Ling Xiao had the strength to execute Hei Suo, and he would not miss such a great opportunity!
It wasn’t a life-and-death challenge, yet it was as intense as one!
Hei Suo’s strength might be even greater than the Plague Demon King’s.
The Plague Demon King was severely weakened, without a body, and naturally, his strength was greatly reduced. Moreover, he did not have any suitable weapons in hand.
Unlike him, Hei Suo was an elite Inner Sect Disciple of the Moon Hua Sect, equipped with standard martial equipnt: a Precious Treasure Artifact-level weapon, a Precious Treasure Artifact-level auxiliary magical treasure, and a Precious Treasure Artifact-level defensive gear.
Strictly speaking, Hei Suo, who was in the early phase of the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer, had combat power that was absolutely stronger than his cultivation level suggested.
However, Ling Xiao remained undaunted. In the past two days, not only had he broken through to the peak of the Transcendent Realm Second Layer, but he had also mastered ten Precious Treasure Artifact-level Sky Gang Flying Swords.
Coupled with the great success of the "Nine Demonic Divine Art: Plague Demon King," his strength was no longer what it used to be.
Even without using his Human-Dragon Form, he had a fifty percent confidence in killing Hei Suo!
An aura erged from Ling Xiao’s body and kept amplifying.
This aura was cold and sharp; behind him, the vague phantom of an ice glacier began to appear.
Facing Hei Suo, although Ling Xiao was confident, he dared not be careless. From the start, he had employed the power of the Ice Glacier from his Mountain and River Martial Soul.
To Hei Suo, it seed that it was not Ling Xiao who was approaching him, but a towering ice glacier, cold and filled with an intense chill.
"What a strong Martial Soul aura!"
Feeling the Ice Glacier aura released by Ling Xiao, the Inner Sect Disciples of Moon Hua Sect who were spectating couldn’t help but shudder.
This coldness could even pierce through their protective True Essence, making their souls feel a trendous threat.
It was only then that they suddenly realized Ling Xiao’s words were no boast; this young man’s strength was indeed more formidable than they had imagined.
Although his cultivation level was indeed poor, the aura of his Martial Soul completely made up for the gap in cultivation.
With each step Ling Xiao took forward, the pressure from the Ice Glacier increased, and the entire underground palace seed to be enveloped in a chill.
So weaker Inner Sect elite disciples had to choose to move back, standing at a distance where the cold was less intense to continue watching the battle.
Seeing Ling Xiao approaching step by step, a fierce killing intent also shone in Hei Suo’s eyes.
Boom~~
With a loud explosion, a burning Ghost Fire appeared behind Hei Suo.
The dark blue fla kept rising and growing bigger, with its intense heat approaching the coldness of the glacier, matching it in montum.
Ghost Fire Martial Soul?
That’s quite rare!
Ling Xiao had always hoped to possess a Martial Soul that surpassed ordinary fla, mainly for use in alchemy.
Hei Suo’s Ghost Fire Martial Soul, although not comparable to the twelve Divine Fires, was much stronger than ordinary flas. If he could seize it, then he wouldn’t have to worry about lacking a suitable fla for alchemy in the future.
Moreover, this Ghost Fire Martial Soul was relatively rare. Who knows, it might also be useful in combat.
In any case, from the mont Hei Suo revealed his Martial Soul, Ling Xiao had already started to entertain so crooked ideas.
