After advancing his cultivation to the third cave heaven realm, the power of Ling Xiao’s Brightness Divine Sword was naturally different from before.
It was stronger than in the past, and even sharper!
That rising sun hung behind his head, absorbing the power of the red sun. It actually resembled a true red sun, only much smaller.
This power was now fully concentrated on the Brightness Divine Sword. One strike pierced straight through Mo Cong’s body.
Even if Mo Cong did not die, he would probably end up crippled.
“Ah~~”
A shrill and terrified scream came from Mo Cong’s body. In that instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
But all those thoughts came together into just one thing: regret.
Why?
Why did he have to come looking for Ling Xiao?
Clearly, most of the people from Bibo Island were killed by the ones brought by Feng Ming Xiao.
It was only because he feared the Ice Phoenix Clan and thought Ling Xiao was easy to bully.
But only now did he suddenly realise that Ling Xiao was actually not easy to bully at all.
“Damn it!”
Over there, the gentleman sword Yue Tianya, who had just been scared away by Ling Xiao’s terrifying soul power, could now only watch everything happen helplessly. He did not even have the courage to make a move.
After suffering such humiliation today, if this person could not pull himself together again, his future path in martial arts would probably be filled with obstacles.
A heart demon had already formed. Whenever he encountered a martial artist like Ling Xiao in the future, he would surely feel fear, perhaps even lose the courage to fight.
Ling Xiao paid no attention to him. He simply looked at Mo Cong and said calmly, “Stop struggling. Just accept death like this. It might be less painful.”
He noticed that Mo Cong did not want to die. The body was still struggling, gathering all his inner energy at the wound in an attempt to force the Brightness Divine Sword back.
“I don’t want to die!”
Mo Cong roared. These were his true feelings.
“If you did not want to die, you should have made the right decision long ago, instead of waiting until now. I am actually quite curious about how you managed to survive in Sin City that day.”
Ling Xiao had always had this doubt in his heart, so today he wanted to verify it.
His right hand twisted in the air. As his hand moved, the Brightness Divine Sword rotated inside Mo Cong’s body as well.
“Ah~~”
Another shrill scream rang out, but this one was cut short abruptly.
Because Mo Cong was dead.
The terrifying high temperature, combined with Ling Xiao twisting the blade, had completely destroyed Mo Cong’s internal organs.
“Withdraw!”
He recalled the Brightness Divine Sword. Mo Cong’s corpse fell to the ground, limp and soft.
But he still went over to check. The man was indeed dead, without any doubt.
So Ling Xiao turned and left.
He really killed him?
Bibo Sword Mo Cong was actually finished just like that?
The noble geniuses who had not yet left nervously swallowed their saliva. This scene would stay deeply etched in their memories.
Ling Xiao truly showed no mercy at all.
Even when the opponent had reached the end of his rope, he had no intention of holding back.
By now, Ling Xiao was already more than a hundred metres away from Mo Cong.
In that instant, Mo Cong’s lifeless body suddenly twitched. A surge of black qi wrapped around his body, and the corpse swiftly shot away.
What shocked Ling Xiao the most was that not only had Mo Cong come back to life, but his strength was clearly much greater than before.
What was going on?
Swift Light Divine Travel!
Ling Xiao’s body turned into a streak, a flashing golden line. In an instant, he appeared right in front of Mo Cong.
“Speak. What exactly did you cultivate? Tell me, and I can spare your life!”
He was full of curiosity about Mo Cong’s martial art. The ability to bring a dead person back to life was simply too bizarre.
“I will never tell you!”
Mo Cong shook his head and glared at Ling Xiao with deep resentment.
“If you won’t speak, then today I will melt you completely into pus. I refuse to believe you can come back again!”
Ling Xiao’s icy voice rang out. A ball of scorching light gathered in his hand.
This light ball was precisely the small sun behind him.
It was still the Brightness Divine Sword, just in a different form.
He had weakened the sharp attack and instead strengthened the high temperature.
As long as this light ball touched someone, their body would quickly soften and melt, eventually turning into pus.
“Mo Cong, are you stupid? Just tell him quickly! What secret could possibly be more important than your own life? Is this idiot really determined not to live?”
In the crowd, many people felt anxious for Mo Cong.
You finally got a chance to survive. Is it really worth wasting it like this?
Do you still want revenge?
Don’t forget, even when two fourth cave heaven realm martial artists faced Ling Xiao, a third cave heaven realm martial artist, they had no chance of winning. In the future, you would have even less opportunity.
Even if you feel choked up about it, you have to endure it. There is no chance for revenge at all.
“You won’t speak?”
Ling Xiao asked calmly.
“I cannot say. That is a secret of our Bibo Island.”
Mo Cong shook his head. On this matter, he was surprisingly firm.
“Fine. Since you won’t speak, then die.”
The small red sun in Ling Xiao’s hand drew closer and closer to Mo Cong. The scorching heat was already starting to take effect.
The storm on the red sun burst forth. Mo Cong’s clothes began to burn, and his skin felt searing, intense pain.
“I will tell you!”
The threat of death finally made Mo Cong choose to compromise.
He had already made the wrong choice once. He did not want to make it a second time.
Because if he made the wrong choice again this time, his life would truly be over.
“Very good. My word is my bond. As long as you tell me the truth about how you revived, I will definitely spare you.”
Ling Xiao said calmly.
He truly intended to do so.
He believed the secret he could get from Mo Cong would be far more valuable than that one life.
After all, Mo Cong would no longer pose any threat to him in the future.
“Boom!”
At that moment, two powerful auras descended.
They instantly sent Ling Xiao flying.
Yet Mo Cong remained completely unharmed.
“Ling Xiao, you actually dare to harm my son in broad daylight. Do you really think the Emperor of the Divine Phoenix Empire can be bullied so easily?”
The one who released that terrifying aura and sent Ling Xiao flying was none other than Emperor Feng Ming Wuliang.
The other powerful aura belonged to the Medicine King Sun Ran.
“I will go check on Young Master Qingshan first.”
The Medicine King Sun Ran seemed uninterested in getting involved in the dispute between Feng Ming Wuliang and Ling Xiao. He turned and went to check on Feng Ming Qingshan’s condition.
At this moment, Mo Cong felt as if he had escaped death. He hurriedly hid behind Feng Ming Wuliang.
The gentleman sword Yue Tianya could not protect him, but surely Feng Ming Wuliang could.
Ling Xiao looked at Feng Ming Wuliang and gave a mocking cold laugh. “You think you deserve to be called Emperor? Your son came to my Qingxu Academy to kill me, and now I am not even allowed to fight back? A father who fails to teach his son bears the blame. You have not fulfilled any of your responsibilities as a father.”
“How I discipline my son is not something for you to lecture me about.”
After saying this, Feng Ming Wuliang immediately looked towards the gentleman sword Yue Tianya beside him and said, “Yue Tianya, you were actually scared off by this kid? He merely used some despicable trick to create an illusion.”
