Chapter 965: Chapter 965 Notorious

"Yes, I had heard that Ling Xiao was ruthless in his methods, but I did not expect him to be so towards his own sect members."

"Hmph, it’s Ning Ke’s own fault for offending him. He deserves it."

"Please, Junior Brother Ling, let me cripple my own cultivation level, I really will die!"

Ning Ke simply knelt down before Ling Xiao.

"If you don’t want to cripple your cultivation level, it’s simple, kill the woman beside you, and I will let you go!"

Ling Xiao said with a sinister smile.

He was looking to drag Ning Ke down with him.

In doing so, Ning Ke would be offending the Pixiu Island and also completely offending the Phoenix God College, leaving him no choice but to follow Ling Xiao in the future.

"No!"

Chu Ling looked at Ning Ke in terror, shaking her head while crying tearfully.

At that moment, she truly fell into despair.

She had thought that with Ke Yu coming out of seclusion, he might be able to kill Ling Xiao for her.

Now, rather than merely crippling her cultivation level, Ling Xiao wanted to kill her outright.

This was surely retribution.

"Ning Brother, you only have one chance to choose, my patience is limited."

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"I’m sorry, Chu Ling, it’s your fault for being blind and offending Junior Brother Ling!"

How could someone like Ning Ke pity Chu Ling?

As long as it would save his own life and cultivation level, what did it matter if he killed Chu Ling now?

If the Pixiu Island sought revenge, he could just hide in Qingxu College indefinitely—after all, even the Pixiu Island wouldn’t easily dare to cause trouble inside Qingxu College.

As he spoke, he had already made his move.

Chu Ling’s face turned extremely pale as she faced Ning Ke, whose power far surpassed her own.

Suddenly, she remembered how she had instigated Ke Long and that guard to attack Ling Xiao, and she was filled with regret.

From that moment on, her tragic fate was sealed.

"Ah—!"

With a scream, Chu Ling’s head was severed by Ning Ke.

In order to show his loyalty to Ling Xiao, Ning Ke had gone to extremes.

However, Ling Xiao’s face showed displeasure.

He actually despised people like Ning Ke.

People who would abandon anyone to save their own lives.

"Get lost, and be sure not to offend me again, or else don’t blame me for finding any excuse to kill you!"

Ling Xiao waved his hand, dismissing Ning Ke.

Ning Ke actually rolled directly down the stairs.

"Scum!"

With a disdainful curse, Ling Xiao turned and entered a cultivation room.

As for the body outside, there would naturally be others to deal with it; he had no need to worry about it himself.

He was not a domineering person.

Though he lived in a world where the strong preyed on the weak, he had never bullied the weak with his strength.

Unless they offended him.

"The remaining single room, whoever has the strength can use it."

At the moment the stone gate closed, Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"Thank you, Young Master Ling!"

Ling Xiao didn’t care about their gratitude; he simply acted according to his conscience.

Sitting cross-legged in the cultivation room, he took out the Heavenly Elemental Crystal and the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pill, then activated the Eye of the World and began his final sprint of cultivation.

The Mountain and River Martial Soul began to operate, and the energy from the Heavenly Elemental Crystal and Heavenly Spirit Divine Pill started to surge into every limb and bone of Ling Xiao, continuously consolidating, strengthening, and expanding, becoming ever purer.

At the same time, his understanding of the Light and Shadow Mystique continued unabated.

Cultivation was one thing; the comprehension of the Light and Shadow Mystique must also not cease.

Cultivation is the most monotonous, yet time passes the fastest during it.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

The corpses outside had already been cleaned up,

and Ling Xiao’s deeds had already spread throughout the entire Imperial City.

Now, almost every martial artist interested in this matter knew that Ling Xiao had returned from his trip with a significantly increased cultivation level.

Originally, they thought the duel between Ling Xiao and the Blood Skeleton would be a boring fight, but now, they couldn’t help but take a greater interest.

On the last day of this month, many people gathered in the busiest plaza of the Imperial City.

This place was originally where the court issued decrees, and the citizens could also come here to listen to the imperial edicts.

The place was large and spacious, with very good protective measures in place.

And now, the normally bustling center of the plaza was cordoned off, and a fighting platform made from a special material stood there.

Flags from Phoenix God College and Qingxu College were planted on both sides,

and in the center was the national flag of the Phoenix God Empire.

"Could it be that Phoenix God College and Qingxu College are going to have a disciple duel here? Why else would they make such a big scene?"

Seeing even the guards from the Imperial Palace were nearby managing order, someone couldn’t help but ask.

"It is a disciple duel, but only between the Blood Skeleton and Ling Xiao."

Someone next to him explained, "But I’m also a bit surprised. It’s just a duel between two disciples, why has it been hyped up so much? The publicity started at the beginning of this month and continued until yesterday."

"You only know one side of the story, not the other."

An informed person laughed, "This matter has involved more than just the grievances between those two people; it’s about the underhanded competition between the two colleges."

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t you really know? The first time Ling Xiao came to Imperial City, he humiliated Phoenix God College in front of many people and crippled Phoenix God College’s Leng Chan and Fengming Bo. Do you think Phoenix God College could tolerate that?"

"Definitely not."

"Exactly, but the problem is that Phoenix God College was at fault and might not be able to compete with Qingxu College in overall strength. Afterward, when Ling Xiao offended Blood Skeleton, Phoenix God College placed their bets on Blood Skeleton for revenge."

"No wonder I heard that this month, the Blood Skeleton actually received power training from Phoenix God College. They provided whatever resources or martial arts he wanted, and even the Vice President personally guided him; his cultivation level must have broken through."

"That’s for sure, but Ling Xiao isn’t easy either."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Have you been in secluded cultivation this whole time, not knowing anything?" The speaker continued proudly, "More than twenty days ago, Ling Xiao caused a huge disturbance at the Shenhuang Auction House, confronted Yan Peng from the Great Roc Clan, and snatched away the slave Yan Peng wanted.

It’s said that an expert from the Cave Heaven Realm tried to intercept Ling Xiao on the way, and he was killed by Ling Xiao and that slave together."

"That’s impressive!"

"There’s more yet to come. Ling Xiao was gone for over twenty days, and everyone thought he had fled, but as soon as he returned, he killed Ke Long and Ke Yu from the Peacock Clan, both disciples of Phoenix God College."

"No way, Ke Long and Ke Yu were both Five Elements Sky Level Martial Artists, right? Was Ling Xiao really that powerful?"

"Powerful! Of course, powerful. From what those present at the time recalled, Ke Long used the Peacock Clan’s Divine Light but was defeated by Ling Xiao with a secret weapon. Ke Yu was even worse, killed in one move without even a chance to strike back."

"Tsk tsk, if that’s true, today’s martial arts competition should be quite a spectacle, and it’s really hard to say who will best whom."

"Yeah, exactly. The platform is ready today, and tomorrow is the day of the competition. We can’t miss it."
