Ling Xiao actually killed a Justice Divine Guard?
This was simply an earth-shattering event.
Everyone present was stunned.
To think someone could kill an outer academy Justice Divine Guard and still remain alive. It was truly bizarre.
“Die. No need to struggle anymore. Death can end all your pain!”
Ice Fury in Ling Xiao’s hand thrust forward.
The heavy sword had no edge, yet its sheer power was enough to crush everything.
A weapon weighing over ten thousand jin felt like a wooden stick in his hands, wielded with complete ease.
At the same time, sensations of icy cold and scorching heat invaded Mo Cong’s body.
Mo Cong was frozen one moment and burned the next. Amid excruciating torment, he let out astonishing screams of agony.
Everyone present could not help covering their ears, their brows tightly furrowed.
Of course, this suffering did not last long.
Ling Xiao had no intention of deliberately torturing Mo Cong.
In less than two breaths, Mo Cong’s body turned into a cloud of steam and completely vanished.
Only the shrill screams and the acrid burnt smell lingered in the air, leaving everyone shaken and terrified.
“What a pity. You did not have to die!”
Ling Xiao put away Ice Fury, and the rising sun behind him returned to the Mountains and Rivers world.
He truly felt regret.
Bi Bo Jian Mo Cong’s talent ranked at the very top in the entire Divine Phoenix Empire.
Yet this person had been ruined first by his own father.
Then ruined again by his own wrong choices.
After a brief moment of pity, Ling Xiao’s expression turned cold once more.
Immortal Gourd Eye!
As his Tai Chi Eye rotated, a gourd appeared above Ling Xiao’s head and sucked Mo Cong’s soul inside.
“Nine Deaths Reincarnation Technique?”
From Mo Cong’s soul, Ling Xiao obtained crucial information.
It turned out the martial technique Mo Cong cultivated was called the Nine Deaths Reincarnation Technique.
The problem was that Mo Cong had only obtained one portion of it, the part for “One Death”.
Even then, Mo Cong had merely scratched the surface of that portion.
It was not that Mo Cong did not want to cultivate further. The script of this technique simply did not belong to the Xuan Realm’s language.
Mo Cong had only blindly practised according to the illustrations.
The fact that he did not go mad from deviation was already sheer luck.
But these characters, Ling Xiao recognised them.
This was thanks to the extra memories that appeared in his mind during the battle in Northern Desert City.
The text on it matched exactly the script from those memories.
Ling Xiao understood every single character.
That was how he knew it was the Nine Deaths Reincarnation Technique, an extremely terrifying martial art that only those with great courage dared to cultivate.
To reach the pinnacle, one had to die nine times!
Moreover, each of these nine deaths had to occur precisely when cultivation reached the peak of a certain stage.
The Human King’s Notes also recorded this technique. The requirement for “One Death” was to reach the limit of Cave Heaven Realm.
After death, the body would reconstruct and strengthen.
Upon revival, not only could one easily break through to Yin-Yang Realm, but inner force, strength, speed, and all other aspects would double on top of the Yin-Yang Realm foundation.
If one died before meeting the conditions for “One Death”, as long as the corpse remained basically intact, revival was still possible.
Strength would also increase, but once the true limit of Cave Heaven Realm was reached, the Nine Deaths Reincarnation Technique could no longer be used to break through.
“Damn it. This Mo Cong was holding gold and treating it like wood. What a waste.”
Ling Xiao cursed inwardly.
But it was fine. The Nine Deaths Reincarnation Technique falling into his hands solved one of his biggest problems.
At the very least, breaking through from Cave Heaven Realm to Yin-Yang Realm would no longer be a concern.
In other words, as long as he cultivated, success was guaranteed.
He had truly picked up a treasure!
A supreme treasure!
“Are you satisfied now?”
Feng Ming Wuliang asked with a livid face.
He had actually failed to stop Ling Xiao from killing Mo Cong. He had truly lost massive face in front of everyone.
“Satisfied? Perhaps.”
Ling Xiao gave a slight smile.
Of course he would not tell Feng Ming Wuliang what treasure he had discovered.
He turned and walked towards Feng Ming Qingshan.
The reason Feng Ming Qingshan remained unconscious was because Ling Xiao had infused soul force into a strand of light power, which had constantly wreaked havoc inside Feng Ming Qingshan’s soul sea.
Medicine King Sun Ran was indeed a formidable alchemist, but he was not a powerful soul martial artist.
Therefore, he had no way to resolve such an issue.
But Ling Xiao could.
With just a couple of gentle pats, Feng Ming Qingshan woke up.
This scene nearly made Feng Ming Wuliang spit blood.
So simple, yet it caused him to waste Mo Cong and Ice Fury. This Ling Xiao was truly detestable.
“We respectfully send Your Majesty back to the palace!”
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and looked at Feng Ming Wuliang with a smiling face. “After you return, take good care of him. Young Master Qingshan’s injuries should still heal completely. After all, you have Medicine King Sun Ran by your side.”
“You brat! Very well!”
Feng Ming Wuliang gave a cold snort, picked up Feng Ming Qingshan, and turned to leave.
In an instant, almost everyone who was supposed to leave had gone.
Those left behind were only the teachers and students from Qingxu Academy who had come out to watch the excitement.
How long had it been since the Third Phoenix Son caused chaos at Qingxu Academy? Now Ling Xiao had stirred up another huge scene.
Feng Ming Qingshan and Mo Cong, two fourth Cave Heaven Realm martial artists, plus Yue Tianya, a fifth Cave Heaven Realm martial artist, had all suffered setbacks at Ling Xiao’s hands.
Mo Cong died miserably.
Feng Ming Qingshan was severely injured and even cost them Ice Fury.
Yue Tianya suffered a mental blow. Although Feng Ming Wuliang had talked him around, fully shaking off the shadow would likely take a very long time.
This was dominance in martial strength.
In terms of medical skill, Feng Ming Qingshan, whom even Medicine King Sun Ran could not save, was revived by Ling Xiao. One could boast about this for three days and three nights without exaggeration.
No wonder even a girl like Ji Luoyu looked at Ling Xiao differently. Such a genius was probably rare even across the entire Divine Phoenix Empire.
“Big Brother Ling, are you alright?”
Ji Luoyu had not left together with Medicine King Sun Ran.
She was Medicine King Sun Ran’s disciple, but not his slave.
“I am fine. Today’s matter, I actually have you to thank.”
Ling Xiao smiled and said.
“Do not joke. If it were not for me, you would not have encountered this trouble today. You not blaming me would already be thanks enough, yet you want to thank me?”
Ji Luoyu had no idea what Ling Xiao was talking about.
Right now she felt extremely guilty and ashamed.
“Of course I must thank you. If not for you, I would not have obtained the Ice Phoenix clan’s ‘Ice Fury’.”
Ling Xiao did not want to mention the Nine Deaths Reincarnation Technique for now. Even just Ice Fury alone was already an enormous gain.
What he lacked most right now was precisely a weapon like this.
With Ice Fury, the power of all his moves would increase by at least thirty to forty percent.
That was a massive improvement.
“Moreover, Luoyu, you really do not need to take it to heart. They came to trouble me and merely used you as an excuse. Without you, they would have found other reasons to target me.”
Ling Xiao did not like owing favours to others, nor did he like letting a girl carry guilt towards him. After all, a girl with a mournful face was not a pleasant sight.
