Chapter 705: Chapter 705: Unexpected Ending_1

"What’s the hurry? There’s absolutely no need to worry. With Ling Xiao just being at the Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer Invincible Realm, I could easily defeat him, let alone Senior Brother Bei. I really don’t know what you all are worried about,"

"That’s right, that overestimating fool is definitely going to die. A life-and-death duel is simply him seeking his own death!"

Not only did the disciples of the Southern Three Sects think so, even the neutral martial artists shared this opinion.

The Moon Hua Sect had declined so rapidly over the years that no one even took the sect seriously anymore, let alone its top core disciple.

Only Tyrant Sky Tiger and Chen Meng, who had once crossed hands with Ling Xiao, wore a solemn expression.

They also felt that Bei Duanchang would win, but they didn’t believe it would be an easy victory.

"Hehe, it looks like the reward from this palace will indeed belong to Bei Duanchang. I had already said that Bei Duanchang should go challenge the Silver Jade Devil Elephant, but that Ling Xiao just wouldn’t listen," said Crown Prince Zhao Yu as he stood up and looked toward the crowd. "Is there any disciple from Moon Hua Sect among you? Go back and tell your sect master to stop sending disciples out to their deaths unnecessarily."

Indeed, there were disciples from the Moon Hua Sect among the crowd, from both the Outer Sect and the Inner Sect, each hanging their heads low, almost wishing they could tear off the insignia on their chests.

How embarrassing!

They now felt being a disciple of the Moon Hua Sect was so shameful!

They didn’t dare to utter a word, only able to bow their heads silently.

However, someone eventually stood up.

"Your Highness, the matter isn’t over yet. I simply don’t believe Senior Brother Ling will lose!"

The speaker was just a young man who had recently been promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple of the Moon Hua Sect.

He was very young, and Ling Xiao might not even remember his name, but the young man had always idolized Ling Xiao.

In his eyes, Ling Xiao was the one who could change the Moon Hua Sect, the one who could revive it.

"Little fellow, you’re thinking too much," said Zhao Yu with a disdainful laugh.

"It is you who thinks too much!"

From within the dust, a loud and icy voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone at the scene to shiver abruptly.

"Didn’t Chen Meng tell you? She lost to me in one move. What makes you so confident that Bei Duanchang can defeat me?"

Through the haze, a figure waved his hand, and the dust that filled the sky quickly dispersed, revealing the entire Battle Beast Arena to everyone’s eyes.

There stood Ling Xiao, with a smile that was not quite a smile, looking at Zhao Yu.

In his hand, he held the lifeless body of Bei Duanchang.

Thud!

Ling Xiao threw the corpse right at Zhao Yu’s feet; the sound of it hitting the ground wasn’t loud but in the eyes of the spectators, it was as dramatic as an earthquake.

The battle had ended.

However, the one who was alive wasn’t the highly favored Bei Duanchang, but almost universally underestimated Ling Xiao.

A disciple who emerged from a sect everyone looked down upon.

A promising new disciple who had just recently risen to prominence.

A guy whom many had never even seen before.

And yet, he had killed the third-ranked core disciple of the Southern Three Sects in front of so many people in the Northern Han Capital City.

On Ling Xiao’s face was even a hint of a mocking smile.

If it weren’t for Bei Duanchang’s sneak attack from behind, perhaps the outcome wouldn’t have been like this.

The Moon Hua Sect has been too timid these past years, but some sects have become a bit too arrogant, to the point where they’ve forgotten that in the world of martial artists, it is like rowing against the current: if you don’t advance, you fall behind.

"Senior Brother Bei actually died?"

The disciples from the Southern Three Sects completely collapsed; they couldn’t believe the scene unfolding before their eyes.

Only a blink of an eye had passed.

They didn’t even have time to swallow a mouthful of saliva before the Senior Brother Bei they worshipped and admired had perished just like that.

"The foremost Core Disciple of the Poison King Sect, huh? That’s it? Skilled with words, but it’s a pity that the skills of the hands are lacking!"

Ling Xiao looked at the disciples from the Southern Three Sects with a taunting sneer.

His words made the pupils of everyone from the Southern Three Sects constrict sharply, their angry expressions clearly evident.

This was definitely a provocation!

Definitely a humiliation!

Absolutely an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

They had just insulted the Moon Hua Sect, insulted Ling Xiao, and now they were simply receiving the same treatment.

The disciples from the Southern Three Sects glared at Ling Xiao as if their gazes could kill; Ling Xiao would have died hundreds of times over.

"Who knows what kind of dirty tricks you’ve used. Is this the kind of petty victory that disciples of the Moon Hua Sect take pride in, being so arrogant and conceited?"

Zhao Yu felt it was time for him to step in.

After all, he had dealings with both the Southern Three Sects and even the Holy Son far away in the Heavenly King Sect; he had to stand up and defend Bei Duanchang.

Ling Xiao gave a faint smile, truly wondering how this man became Crown Prince. Such shameless audacity; it was quite extreme.

But then again, when he thought about it, it made sense. Without a thick skin, without the art of guile, one indeed couldn’t become Crown Prince.

"What, does His Highness the Crown Prince also want to try his hand against me?"

Ling Xiao looked at Zhao Yu with disdain, his face showing a mocking grin.

Zhao Yu was so frightened by this remark that he sat down hard on his seat and gulped down a mouthful of saliva forcefully.

He was just a martial artist of the Martial Vein Realm, far inferior to Bei Duanchang; how could he dare to fight Ling Xiao? Wouldn’t that be plain suicide?

"This Prince! This Prince does not deign to fight with someone like you!"

He struggled for a bit before finally squeezing out such a feeble retort.

"Hmpf, if you don’t even have the courage to fight me, then shut your mouth and behave with your tail between your legs!"

Ling Xiao snorted coldly and said, "You seem to have misunderstood something. In the Mysterious World, it’s not the power and influence that make one formidable; here, strength is everything!"

Zhao Yu trembled all over.

No one, no one had ever dared to humiliate him like this. Who exactly was this Ling Xiao of the Moon Hua Sect, and how dare he do this?

"Who will take on this challenge for me? If they win, I will reward them with one million middle-grade Spirit Stones! And I will bestow upon them a high-ranking position and wealth for a lifetime!"

Zhao Yu shouted loudly, trembling.

He was pushed to desperation and had to seek help from those people in the stands.

Although such a reward was bountiful, when compared to their lives, people knew what mattered more. Most of them bowed their heads, not daring to look into the eyes of Ling Xiao or Zhao Yu.

"Hahaha, one by one, your verbal skills blossom like lotus flowers, and you’re so skilled at insulting others. But when it comes to fighting, you all turn into turtles hiding their heads, don’t you? Is this the reputation of the Southern Three Sects? How useless! To think you dare to insult our Moon Hua Sect. In the future, when you see disciples of our sect, you’d better walk with your heads down lest you be laughed at!"

Ling Xiao has always been one to return an eye for an eye. If others don’t provoke him, he wouldn’t provoke them either. But if someone comes looking for trouble, he would certainly return it tenfold or a hundredfold.

He had heard all the things these people had said earlier; each word was more unpleasant than the last. Now, it was time to collect the debt.
