Tyrant Sky Martial Soul
Chapter 702

Chapter 702: 702

Ling Xiao had a rather favorable impression of the Northern Han Kingdom overall, after all, both Lin Ze and Zhao Zhi could be considered his comrades in life and death.

Even Zhao Ci regarded him as an idol and worshipped him, so if possible, he absolutely did not wish to become enemies with the Northern Han Kingdom.

However, the words of the Crown Prince of the Northern Han Kingdom were highly offensive.

"This palace is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace of the Northern Han Kingdom, and the terms of this challenge are set by this palace. Whomever this palace permits will go up, and whom this palace does not permit cannot go up!"

The Crown Prince of the Northern Han Kingdom said, haughtily.

This person had been spoiled rotten, probably because the Southern Three Sects treated him with the utmost respect, as if he were their master, thus he truly considered himself above others.

Actually, with such people, whose cultivation level was only at the Martial Vein Realm, Ling Xiao could drown him with just a spit, and moreover, killing him would definitely not pose any problems.

"Heh heh, if that’s the case, you might as well directly award the prize to him. Why bother with the pretense of a challenge? Isn’t this just making fools out of all the heroes in the world?"

Ling Xiao’s voice was loud.

"The time of the Sect Disciples is not as leisurely as yours, Your Highness. They have a lot of things to do and don’t have the time to keep you company in your meaningless delays!"

"Zhao Yu! You little bastard, are you playing me?"

Tyrant Sky Tiger was the first to get annoyed. He had already been very displeased with his loss to the Silver Jade Devil Elephant and now suddenly realized that this was simply a method for the Northern Han Kingdom’s Crown Prince Zhao Yu to fish for fame and promote the prestige of the Southern Three Sects’ disciples while also highlighting his own wealth and magnanimity.

He might be dim-witted, but with Ling Xiao’s reminder, he understood everything in an instant.

Not just him, many people in the stands started whispering among themselves, some even cursing loudly.

After all, most people present knew well the connection between that bastard Zhao Yu and the Southern Three Sects.

"That one, Bei Duanchang, right? I think you don’t even need to challenge anymore, since it’s all just a play. You just need to follow the script of Your Highness and act accordingly. I estimate when you can’t hold out any longer, the Electric Shock Array of this Battle Beast Arena will probably be activated to help you defeat the Silver Jade Devil Elephant."

Ling Xiao’s face showed a hint of disdain and contempt.

Of course, there was also a thick sense of mockery.

"Also, Brother Tyrant, there’s no need to get angry. Haven’t you seen through the tricks here? His Highness the Crown Prince is just toying with us."

What Ling Xiao said seemed to be comforting Tyrant Sky Tiger, but in reality, it was even more effective than incitement.

"Damn his ancestors!"

Tyrant Sky Tiger jumped out at once, ready to fight Zhao Yu to the death.

The status of the Twelve Sects was not to be challenged.

Many people in the stands started pointing at Zhao Yu, making the Crown Prince, who had been sitting confidently and complacently, immediately become anxious, his back soaked in cold sweat.

"Brother Tyrant, please calm down and listen to what the Crown Prince has to say."

Chen Meng hurriedly held back Tyrant Sky Tiger and said.

Zhao Yu hastily said, "That’s right, that’s right, Brother Tyrant, please don’t listen to this youngster’s seductive nonsense. He is clearly trying to sow discord!"

"Ridiculous, I’m sowing discord? Then may I ask, why didn’t you let me participate when I was the first to issue a challenge? Do you dare to say there isn’t something fishy going on here?"

Ling Xiao challenged.

"That is because His Highness is looking out for you, fearing that you are too weak and might die in the Battle Beast Arena," said Bei Duanchang with a sinister tone.

"Is that so? I think I’m quite strong." Ling Xiao said with a smile, "Some people couldn’t even kill me with a sneak attack."

"You really won’t cry until you see the coffin, huh? Well then, let’s you and I have a match first. Whoever wins will challenge the Silver Jade Devil Elephant, how about that?"

Bei Duanchang had to recover some face for Crown Prince Zhao Yu, so at this moment, he could only prove "His Highness truly cares about Ling Xiao" with his strength.

"Ridiculous, I’m going to challenge the Silver Jade Devil Elephant and might get a Mirage Beast Core at the Fierce Beast King level, as well as 1 Million Low Grade Spirit Stones. What good is fighting you?"

Ling Xiao said disdainfully.

"I can offer you the same thing!"

Bei Duanchang didn’t like to beat around the bush, but today, he had to clarify things. Otherwise, killing Ling Xiao would make others accuse him of silencing a witness, saying the Crown Prince indeed played the Sect Disciples for fools.

This matter could be either significant or trivial.

If it somehow affected the establishment of Dragon Sky Academy, his fault would be enormous.

"Oh, really?"

Ling Xiao immediately showed an interested expression. After all, it didn’t matter to him. Whether it was fighting people or the Silver Jade Devil Elephant, as long as he could get what he wanted in the end.

"Naturally, it’s true! I, His Highness, can testify to that!"

Crown Prince Zhao Yu also stepped forward and spoke. He was eager for Bei Duanchang to kill Ling Xiao in combat.

"I want a Mirage Beast Core of Fierce Beast King Level, do you have that too?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"A trivial matter. I wouldn’t dare to make reckless claims in front of all the heroes here," replied Zhao Yu, who indeed had a Mirage Beast Core and it was certainly of Fierce Beast King Level. However, this object was meant for the establishment of Dragon Sky Academy, supposedly to set up a Mist Formation.

He of course wouldn’t give it to Ling Xiao. Since Ling Xiao was going to die anyway, the item would not be given away, and he wouldn’t have to face any consequences.

"Fine then, since that’s the case, let’s proceed. But, I have a suggestion," said Ling Xiao, looking at Bei Duanchang with a mocking expression.

"Speak!"

"Since we are going to play, let’s make it exciting. How about a life-and-death duel?"

Actually, from the moment Bei Duanchang ambushed Ling Xiao, he had already put Bei Duanchang on his death list. This man had to be killed.

But how to kill him for the greatest value?

This situation now had even greater value. Not only could it intimidate the Southern Three Sects, but it could also obtain what he desired and make the Northern Han Kingdom weigh the significance of Moon Hua Sect. It was a case of killing several birds with one stone.

Upon hearing this, Bei Duanchang’s pupils suddenly contracted.

A life-and-death duel?

He had indeed thought about killing Ling Xiao. He shouldn’t be afraid of a life-and-death duel, but why did this youngster before him seem so calm?

And even dared to propose a life-and-death duel?

What was he relying on?

"What’s the matter? A Core Disciple ranked third among the Southern Three Sects afraid of a nobody like me?"

Ling Xiao taunted, "If that’s the case, then beat it, I still want to challenge the Silver Jade Devil Elephant."

Arrogant!

Utterly arrogant!

The disciples of the Southern Three Sects trembled with rage!

"Brother Bei, accept it, kill this brat!"

"Brother Bei, since this kid doesn’t know how to live, don’t give him a way out. Kill him!"

Under the immense pressure of public opinion, Bei Duanchang couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to.

He was now in a dilemma.

On one hand, he was worried that Ling Xiao had a trump card and didn’t want to risk everything, nor did he need to.

On the other hand, facing so much support, if he didn’t agree, he would lose all his reputation.
