Dealing with Bai Feifei, Ling Xiao had expended less than ten percent of his strength, which ant, he was still essentially at full capacity.
There was no need to be wary of Tantai Lingzi.
It would be best to eliminate Tantai Lingzi now and spare himself future troubles; as long as this venomous-hearted woman lived, he, Ling Xiao, would not be able to rest easy.
"How can Ling Xiao be so terrifying? Even if he can challenge beyond his level, for soone at the peerless eighth folder of Transcendent Realm to challenge a half-step Celestial with only ten percent of power is still sowhat preposterous."
"Indeed, it’s incomprehensible. The Snow Lotus Sword Technique isn’t even gold-top level Martial Arts, so how can it be so formidable?"
"I suspect it’s sothing bizarre with his Martial Soul Inheritance!"
"The Martial Soul Inheritance from inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, it’s really that powerful? The way Ling Xiao is acting, it’s clear he intends to sweep through the forr Sect Leader, forr Head of Enforcent Hall, forr Supre Head Teacher, and forr Inner Sect Elders, the disciples of the Demonfla Celestial."
"That must be it, those people had treated him unfairly, and now that Ling Xiao has grown stronger, naturally, he wants to settle the accounts."
The chatter below the platform was incessant. Although not loud, for those with sharp ears, it was crystal clear.
"Master, with your most profound cultivation level, can you discern anything odd about Ling Xiao?"
Chang Yueying asked Chang Yueli.
"Your teacher suspects that what Ling Xiao obtained in the Moon Blossom Pagoda wasn’t the Black Dragon Martial Soul, but so terrifying Ancient Martial Soul Inheritance, on the sa level as Tantai’s and Dai Yuling’s. It’s just that he hasn’t summoned his Martial Soul for battle, so it’s impossible to determine what exactly it is."
Chang Yueli, as expected of a veteran, had spotted sothing amiss with Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul at a glance.
But this was understandable; if she didn’t have such discernnt, she would not have beco the Sect Leader of Moon Hua Sect.
"Seeing how much the Moon Blossom Fairy is shielding this kid, could it be that he has received the Martial Soul Inheritance of our ancestral grandmaster?"
Elder Jin frowned as he spoke.
"If that’s really the case, then it’s bad. We must kill this kid as soon as possible, otherwise, if we allow him to continue growing stronger, there will co a day when even several of us won’t be able to suppress him."
Chang Yueli’s brows were tightly furrowed, but as long as Ling Xiao didn’t step out of Moon Hua Sect’s gates, they had no way to deal with him.
No matter how anxious they were, they could only wait for the arrival of the martial arts contest among the four sects.
At this mont on the Martial Arts Platform, Ling Xiao was eyeing Tantai Lingzi, gesturing for Tantai Lingzi to take the stage.
"You’d better rest for a while, otherwise, my victory would not be honorable!"
By saying this, Tantai Lingzi was simply trying to buy ti, seeing if ng Yuan or Ming Tian would co to her aid and probe Ling Xiao’s reality.
However, such petty tricks were simply no match for Ling Xiao’s perception.
"There’s no need, dealing with you is very simple!"
Ling Xiao declared loudly.
This statent imdiately caused an uproar.
Tantai Lingzi’s strength was currently stronger than Bai Feifei’s, yet Ling Xiao dared to show such contempt for Tantai Lingzi. Could it be that he had even stronger thods?
"Hold on, Ling Xiao, if you want to challenge Tantai, you’ll have to get past first!"
Suddenly, ng Yuan appeared out of nowhere.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xiao instantly detected sothing peculiar about ng Yuan’s aura; this man had been possessed by Black Spirits.
Could it be that so Black Spirits were still alive?
This Demonfla Celestial really dared to provoke outrage under the heavens, what exactly was he up to? Could it be that he truly thought no one could handle him?
"Get lost!"
Amidst his roaring, Ling Xiao unleashed an air sword from afar.
Before ng Yuan even reached the platform, his body was pierced, and then from his crown, a wisp of black fog erged.
"Trying to escape? Nine Veins Air Sword - Prison Cage!"
Nine air swords shot out, turning into dozens of fine threads, which completely wrapped up the black fog.
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, in the next mont, the black fog exploded, turning into a rain of blood that dyed the prison cage red.
"What’s going on?"
Wu Xiang asked in surprise.
"Report to the Sect Master, this is the Black Spirit!"
Ling Xiao replied, "I never expected it to have possessed ng Yuan, how despicable!"
Although ng Yuan was struck by one of Ling Xiao’s Air Swords, a warrior from the Transcendent Realm wouldn’t die from such an injury.
"Co, seize ng Yuan and interrogate him rigorously!"
Wu Xiang ordered.
"Sect Master, spare , please spare , it wasn’t , it was—ah!"
ng Yuan’s words were cut short as his chest burst open, his heart completely shattered, and his Nine Martial ridians thoroughly severed, leaving him breathless in an instant.
How ruthless, Demonfla Celestial!
Ling Xiao naturally knew this was the work of Demonfla Celestial, but he had no evidence, and now with the death going unwitnessed, even if he claid it was the deed of Demonfla Celestial, he guessed few would believe him.
So he remained silent.
His cultivation level was not high enough yet, he could handle the disciples of Demonfla Celestial, but against Demonfla Celestial himself, he was still far from ready.
"Ling Xiao, do you dare to accept my challenge!"
No sooner had ng Yuan died than another figure flew in, it was none other than Ming Tian.
There was no scent of Black Spirits on Ming Tian’s body, but there was sothing off about him.
Those eyes, with slender pupils glowing red, were not human eyes at all.
Could it be that this fellow had surrendered himself entirely to the control of the Nine-tailed Fox Demon?
With this thought, Ling Xiao felt both contemplative and regretful.
The once honorable Ming Tian, in his pursuit of power, had forsaken his ntor Bai Yun to beco a disciple of Demonfla Celestial.
But now, it seed he had completely lost his own soul, beco but an empty shell, a shell controlled by the Demon Fox.
Should one say he got what he deserved?
Or was it a tragedy?
Ming Tian stood on the Martial Arts Platform and then, clasping his hands, looked towards Wu Xiang: "Sect Master, I request this battle to be a life-and-death fight, with fate deciding the victor, and whoever dies shall not seek retribution against the other."
"Nonsense!"
Wu Xiang slapped the armrest of his chair.
"Sect Master, with all due respect, in the Moon Hua Sect, one can initiate a life-and-death challenge. Of course, it’s stipulated to take place in Desperate Tower. We may change the location, but we cannot outright refuse it," said Chang Yueying, rising to her feet.
"That’s right, Sect Master Wu, Ling Xiao himself has initiated life-and-death challenges in the past. Are we to allow him to challenge others, but not others to challenge him?" Chang Yueli said with a smile.
"Sect Master, we must be fair in our judgnt. We cannot engage in partiality, or do you perhaps fear that Ling Xiao is no match for Ming Tian, and therefore you are frightened?" the Demonfla Celestial asked with a cold laugh.
Wu Xiang was cornered, to refuse would appear unjust, yet he feared for Ling Xiao’s safety.
As Wu Xiang was struggling with his predicant, Ling Xiao chuckled lightly: "If soone wishes to die, let it be, Sect Master. No need to trouble yourself on my account."
"Ling Xiao, you—"
Wu Xiang could also sense sothing abnormal with Ming Tian’s aura; otherwise, he wouldn’t have opposed such a challenge.
"Sect Master, rest assured, I will not lose, nor will I die!" Ling Xiao took a deep breath and said.
"Since the life-and-death challenge is established, let’s proceed to Desperate Tower!"
The Master of Wangming Tower stated coldly, then leaped ahead, departing first.
Following that, Ming Tian also left, breaking through the air.
The spectators scattered, each going their own way to watch the excitent unfold.
Dai Yuling and the others also left first, following Ling Xiao’s signal.
