Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: A Cut Above in Skill

"What’s there to protect, I’m fine!"

Ling Xiao plopped down on the ground and stuffed several Rejuvenation Pills into his mouth, waving his hands towards the members of the Revival Meeting.

What’s going on?

Everyone was a bit flabbergasted.

Ling Xiao actually dared to sit down in front of Duke of Eastern Province?

Could it be that they had developed a deep friendship in the midst of battle and had decided not to fight any longer?

"No, that’s not it!"

Wu Xiang suddenly looked towards the laughing Duke of Eastern Province and realized that the Duke’s laughter was getting weaker and weaker.

That didn’t sound like the laughter of a victor at all.

It sounded like a cry of sorrow and unwillingness.

Boom!

Finally, the Duke of Eastern Province’s laughter came to an abrupt halt, and he fell backward onto the ground, his Blackblade falling beside him.

Now everyone could see it clearly.

There were many fine cracks appearing on the Duke of Eastern Province’s body, like a porcelain that had been smashed but not yet completely shattered.

Crack!

Crack, crack!

The strange noise sounded, and those cracks finally widened as the Duke of Eastern Province’s body started to break apart, crumbling like a shattered statue, completely broken to pieces.

This horrifying and eerie scene made all the martial artists present shiver uncontrollably.

It was too terrifying.

"Hiss..."

Many people in the crowd couldn’t help but gasp for air, feeling their scalp go numb, unsure whether it was fear or disgust.

People then looked towards Ling Xiao, who still wore the smile of a victor.

So young in age, yet appearing graceful and with handsome features, but in action, he was ruthlessly decisive, having dismembered his opponent.

"Gulp..."

Watching Ling Xiao, the martial artists of City Lord’s Mansion retreated to the periphery, truly scared by Ling Xiao, their hearts filled with fear.

Even some of the more timid members of the Revival Meeting were frightened, looking at Ling Xiao’s almost ghostly demeanor.

And then seeing the pitiful state of the Duke of the Eastern Province’s death.

They were truly scared.

However, Wu Xiang, Feng Yaorao, Po Qian Jun, Yue Qin, and Liu Chuang not only didn’t retreat but rushed forward to help Ling Xiao up.

"My boy, you’ve really given your senior brother a huge surprise today. How are you feeling? Is there anywhere on your body that doesn’t feel right?"

Wu Xiang asked, with Yue Qin’s support, smiling.

Wiping away the blood, Ling Xiao said: "Well, aside from needing a hot bath to wash off all this blood, I don’t have any other issues."

He was actually quite seriously injured.

Duke of Eastern Province was much more formidable than Jiao Batian. That strike had caused significant damage to his internal organs, and he really needed to take some time to recuperate properly.

But that was all there was to it.

"Impressive, quite impressive indeed. I never expected you would slaughter a martial artist of the First Cave Heaven Realm with just an early Nine Heavy Heaven cultivation level, even I didn’t see that coming."

Wu Xiang was genuinely surprised.

Although he had wounded the Duke of Eastern Province, to be honest, the damage he did wasn’t as severe as he had expected.

The subsequent fight proved this point; while the Duke of Eastern Province’s combat strength did diminish, the decline wasn’t as significant as anticipated.

"Yeah, this is too impressive. If you were a martial artist with Cave Heaven Realm cultivation level, I wouldn’t be surprised by your victory, but to kill an opponent a level above you like this, your combat power is simply too terrifying."

Po Qian Jun didn’t even know what to say now.

The Ling Xiao who used to be inferior to him, now probably could easily flatten him with just a finger.

Is this the disparity of talent?

If so, then isn’t that gap just a bit too wide?

"Luck."

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

He is not being modest. If he had faced the Duke of the Eastern Province in his prime, the outcome would have definitely not been the same.

He might have won, but after winning, he would likely be half-dead.

This battle was truly too lucky.

The Duke of the Eastern Province being injured, underestimating his enemy, and not understanding him contributed to his victory in this battle.

However, his Tai Chi Eye was able to see through all of the Duke of the Eastern Province’s techniques.

With such advantages and disadvantage, it logically follows that the Duke of the Eastern Province would die by his hand.

Of course, the power of the Mountain and River Martial Soul was the greatest contributor.

Without the Mountain and River Martial Soul, even with these advantages, he might not have been able to win.

The Mountain and River Martial Soul allowed him to match his opponent in strength, spirit, inner strength, and momentum.

"Was that really just luck?"

Feng Yaorao stuck out her tongue and said, "Why do I feel like you had him calculated from the start to the end, and that guy was completely played by you?"

"Enough about that, how should we deal with those warriors from the City Lord’s Mansion?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Wu Xiang and asked.

He still needed to ask for Wu Xiang’s opinion regarding how to deal with the City Lord’s Mansion warriors.

"What do you think?"

Wu Xiang asked in return.

"Kill!"

Ling Xiao grinned, but the smile seemed a bit cold and ferocious.

Hearing this, the warriors from the City Lord’s Mansion were all thrown into panic.

Their arrogance and ferocity stemmed solely from the existence of the Duke of the Eastern Province, a Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artist with them.

But now, Ling Xiao had killed the Duke of the Eastern Province so decisively and ruthlessly.

They had completely lost their pompous spirit and were scared out of their wits.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, and the warriors from the City Lord’s Mansion scrambled to escape outside.

Ling Xiao made no move.

In fact, he was injured at the moment; although not severely, he preferred not to act mid-recovery to avoid aggravating his wounds.

But the warriors from the Revival Meeting were not going to let these people go.

Led by Po Qian Jun and others, they started a one-sided pursuit.

The City Lord’s Mansion warriors had no intention to fight back, dropping hundreds of bodies as they hurriedly fled.

In the sky, the Moon Lady wore a smile.

In fact, at the last moment, she almost couldn’t resist intervening.

But it was Ling Xiao who stopped her.

He wanted to resolve the fight on his own.

Ultimately, she didn’t intervene. Seeing Ling Xiao handle such a strong opponent with his own strength made the Moon Lady happy for him.

Even though Ling Xiao was left battered and injured.

But he also gained a huge reward.

Not just a breakthrough in his Cultivation Level, but also an accumulation of battle experience, which was more precious than anything.

"I feel like I’m watching another King of People rise... No, perhaps you will do even better! The King of People was too compassionate, which left many troubles behind and made many mistakes, but you are different."

...

In the Xianglong Business Firm, inside the reorganized council hall, Ling Xiao was sitting cross-legged, healing his wounds.

Despite many people sitting around him, they did not affect him.

Ling Xiao was long accustomed to cultivating in noisy environments.

People in the council hall waited silently, no one making a sound, fearing they might disturb him.

After all, at this moment, to the people of the Sacred Dynasty Restoration Assembly, Ling Xiao was the true savior.

When the legendary Chosen Son of Heaven becomes a living savior, it feels more tangible and real.
