“Heh heh, indeed. Anyway, this Ling fellow will not live long. What is there to haggle with a dead man.”
Peacock Phoenix Child Kong He sneered coldly and truly sat down.
He could endure Ke Long and Ke Yu’s deaths until now. Why could he not endure mere guards being slapped away?
“Brat, I shall let you live a bit longer!”
Heavenly Peng Phoenix Child Peng Yue also sneered coldly and sat down.
“Excellent. Ming Kong, you all sit.”
Feng Yan Ran hurriedly invited Lan Yu Er and others to sit.
The noble seats had few arrivals originally, with many spots empty. Ji Ming Kong and others sat down accordingly.
Only then did Ling Xiao leap onto the martial arena, looking at Blood Skull.
“Apologies for making you wait here to die!”
With that, Ling Xiao’s aura erupted instantly. Fierce sword intent pierced through the air towards Blood Skull.
“You are the one finally come to die!”
Blood Skull naturally would not yield, transforming death aura into a skull pouncing at Ling Xiao.
The two fought upon speaking, giving no psychological preparation to the spectators.
The sword intent condensed into entity, directly tearing the void, startling many sword users.
“This is fifth layer minor sword intent! Rumours were true!”
“Rumours said he just comprehended first layer minor sword intent. Seems in this month, his sword intent advanced again.”
“Tsk tsk, no wonder so arrogant. Sword users all take extreme paths.”
The blood-red skull colliding with that sword intent actually showed cracks, making Blood Skull’s face change drastically.
His late Five Elements Heaven cultivation’s soul force inferior to Ling Xiao?
Suppressed?
No wonder earlier his death aura pressure had no effect on Ling Xiao.
Hateful!
Since soul force unequal, only fight physically!
Blood Skull understood continuing thus would disadvantage him. This was attacking with one’s weakness against enemy’s strength, most unwise.
“Good!”
“Brilliant!”
Spectators cheered loudly, for such a scenario was what they most desired.
Weak defeating strong, un favoured human beating powerful Netherfire Phoenix Clan warrior. This was the most stirring script.
Blood Skull, Netherfire Phoenix Clan warrior, Shenhuang Empire noble warrior.
Ling Xiao, Tianlong Continent human warrior.
The status gap too vast.
Yet precisely this gap made it more thrilling.
Such a battle, worth waiting not just a day but until tomorrow.
“Hmph!”
At this moment, from the noble seats came a cold snort, infused with powerful soul force, directly shattering Ling Xiao and Blood Skull’s soul clash.
This snort seemed to affect both sides, yet truly aided Blood Skull greatly.
It freed Blood Skull, who was about to lose the soul confrontation.
The one snorting was none other than Shenhuang Academy’s vice-dean Feng Ming Wan Chong.
“Brat, in such haste for what? Making me wait a day dry, costing Shenhuang Academy vast spirit stones. Think you can start duel without accounting? Wishful thinking!”
After interfering, Feng Ming Wan Chong showed no intent to stop. Each word fused mighty soul force, bombarding Ling Xiao’s soul sea continuously.
Even with Ling Xiao’s soul comparable to Cavern Heaven realm warrior, under Yin Yang realm expert’s assault, still severely injured.
Soul sea felt like exploding, excruciating.
Ling Xiao clutched his head on the spot, pain as if tens of thousands of needles stabbed his brain.
Not only so, seeing this, Blood Skull did not halt attack but closed in, landing a heavy punch on Ling Xiao’s body, breaking his protective Heavenly Origin Force, shattering his clothes.
Fortunately Ling Xiao’s body defence extremely strong, avoiding severe injury from this blow.
“Get lost!”
At the critical juncture, latent Human King power in Ling Xiao’s body erupted, not only repelling Feng Ming Wan Chong’s soul force but burrowing into his soul sea like maggots in bones.
Repaying with one’s own methods.
Feng Ming Wan Chong wailed miserably, spurting old blood, face deathly pale, full of terror.
As for Blood Skull, he was shaken flying by the backlash, falling off the martial arena, smashing a deep pit in the ground.
Body shining golden like gold, hair fully turned golden.
This moment’s Ling Xiao resembled a war god.
Seeing this, all were shocked.
The successive events too swift, many failed to grasp the situation.
Even Feng Qing Yan had no time to aid Ling Xiao.
His face showed astonishment and joy.
Ling Xiao’s performance far exceeded expectations. This lad likely hid shocking power in his body.
Yet Ling Xiao was not pleased.
For his Human King power remained only seven tripods.
This was finite power. Used up, gone.
Had it not been life-threatening just now, he would die before using it.
Golden hair dancing, Ling Xiao looked at Feng Ming Wan Chong coldly. “Shameless old thing. You are at least Shenhuang Academy’s vice-dean, yet use such despicable means to ambush a junior!
No wonder Shenhuang Academy breeds such shameless scum. Now I thoroughly understand. Truly, as the upper beam is crooked, so is the lower!
Do not tell me it was not you. If you are still a man, stand and admit it!”
Ling Xiao’s words left all dumbfounded.
This lad too bold? Had he eaten bear heart leopard gall?
Daring to curse Shenhuang Academy’s vice-dean before so many, exposing his vile deeds.
Feng Ming Wan Chong’s face was grim.
Today he truly miscalculated.
Thought secretly aiding Blood Skull, teaching Ling Xiao a lesson. With his status, Ling Xiao dared not protest.
He had done such before. Ling Xiao suffered, he unscathed.
But outcome far exceeded expectations.
He was injured by Ling Xiao’s soul force, severely. Even now, his head felt gnawed by countless scorpions.
If only thus, he could excuse himself to heal.
Yet more unexpected occurred.
Ling Xiao so arrogant, directly accusing him before all, cursing him. If he left thus, truly no face to see people hereafter.
“Cough cough, you bastard brat say what? I do not understand!”
Feng Ming Wan Chong naturally could not admit ambushing Ling Xiao. Even if all knew truth, he could not.
Once admitted, became others’ pretext.
Now inwardly furious. Even Feng Qing Yan dared not curse him so. This lad, mere human, insignificant disciple, dared treat him thus.
