Tyrant Sky Martial Soul
Chapter 784

Chapter 784: 784

"Yan Lie Huo, during the preliminaries you didn’t make things difficult for me, and that was your luck," Ling Xiao said indifferently as he looked at Yan Lie Huo. "Surrender now, I’ll give you the chance to walk away whole."

He wasn’t being sarcastic or mocking; he was genuinely well-meaning.

Because once defeated by him, Yan Lie Huo would definitely be greatly affected, and problems would inevitably arise in the subsequent fights.

"You!"

Yan Lie Huo was so angry his face turned red.

"A warrior may be killed but not insulted. Today, even if I don’t defeat you, I will certainly not make it easy for you!"

"Wildfire Spear Technique!"

With a roar, Yan Lie Huo channeled all of the Heavenly Origin Power in his body, the crimson Heavenly Origin Power gathering in the long spear in his hands, as angry flames burst forth incessantly.

As the long spear thrust out, flames roiled like a ferocious beast pouncing towards Ling Xiao, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.

"Ah, why insist on this?"

Ling Xiao could see that Yan Lie Huo’s strike was very powerful; it was probably his strongest move to date.

Against someone else, it might be effective, but against him, it was simply a waste.

With a gentle lift of his hand, a flash of sword light appeared, and a Sword Qi broke through the air, turning into a golden ray of light.

The skyful of crimson flames, as if encountering danger, began to retract rapidly, pierced and pushed back by this Sword Qi.

Boom!

The Sword Qi pierced through Yan Lie Huo’s protective True Essence, sending him flying backward.

One move, battle over!

"I told you, it would have been better to surrender directly. Now, not only have you displayed your trump card, but you’ve also exhausted a significant amount of True Essence. You’ve even squandered the Heavenly Origin Power you worked so hard to accumulate. Why go to such lengths?"

Ling Xiao glanced down at Yan Lie Huo with detachment and turned to walk away from the platform, his clothes unstained.

Seeing this scene, the people of the Mysterious Fire Sect all had drastic changes in expression.

Although Yan Lie Huo was not as prominent as Liu Taiyin and Hong Sanwei, he was still one of the Core Disciples of the Mysterious Fire Sect. The fact that he was defeated by Ling Xiao in just one move astounded and shocked them.

They remembered when Ling Xiao entered the True Demon Forbidden Land; he was an insignificant figure, hardly known by anyone.

However, today, Ling Xiao easily defeated Yan Lie Huo; his strength had increased terrifyingly fast.

What was even more frightening was that from watching this battle, it was evident that Ling Xiao had not even used his full strength.

"Alas, there are always new talents emerging. Ling Xiao might already be on par with the Six Young Masters of the Holy Dynasty. Lie Huo is too far behind him," Liu Taiyin sighed. "Sanwei, we now have another formidable enemy."

"Ling Xiao wins!"

The judge of group ten announced the result, a look of astonishment on his face.

As a strong practitioner of the Cave Heaven Realm, he initially thought he had seen through Ling Xiao, feeling that Ling Xiao was just a martial artist proficient in Soul Secret Techniques, and certainly lacking in other aspects.

But now, it seems that the Soul Secret Techniques might just be one of the young man’s skills; the youngster’s strength had far surpassed his expectations.

"One move? No, strictly speaking, Ling Xiao was just defending, and he casually defeated Yan Lie Huo!"

The group ten judge muttered to himself: "Now, it seems that the fight for first place in group ten’s points is between him and Po Qian Jun, with Zhai Juan slightly out of their league."

There were many martial artists paying attention to the battle on this side.

What was expected to be an evenly matched fight turned out to be completely one-sided.

"My goodness, this Ling Xiao from the Moon Hua Sect, it seems he’s not only audacious, but his strength is also astonishingly formidable."

"Indeed, now that I think about it, no one has been able to withstand a single move without being defeated in front of him."

"His attacks are too bizarre."

"It’s rather unexpected; I thought the tenth group lacked masters aside from Wind Devil Ting, Zhai Juan, and Po Qian Jun who were decent. Now it seems Ling Xiao should also be counted among them. His strength, I fear, may not be inferior to Po Qian Jun’s."

"You’re right, I completely agree. This person’s moves are extremely enigmatic. The maneuvers he uses in battle are too hard to discern. How much of his strength do you think he used to defeat Yan Lie Huo?"

"I reckon at least sixty to seventy percent, otherwise, it would be too exaggerated."

Po Qian Jun’s expression turned ugly as he listened to the discussions of the crowd.

From that strike just now, he sensed that Ling Xiao had probably only used half his strength, indeed a formidable opponent.

Facing Ling Xiao, his chances of victory were not high.

If Ling Xiao had used half his strength to win against Yan Lie Huo, he might have a fifty percent chance of victory.

But if it was just forty percent of his strength, then it would be difficult for him to win against Ling Xiao.

"No matter how fast this kid grows, he can’t possibly be this powerful; I guess he used about half his strength."

Po Qian Jun tried to comfort himself and prevent himself from panicking.

Since they were in the same group, he would eventually have to face Ling Xiao sooner or later, but whether they would fight was not certain. Perhaps both would have enough points to advance, removing the need to clash.

Returning to his seat, Ling Xiao happened to run into Lan Yu’er, who was resting after her fight had ended.

"Junior Brother Ling, how much of your strength did you actually use to defeat Yan Lie Huo?"

Lan Yu’er asked with keen interest.

"That’s not an easy question to answer; let me put it this way, how much strength do you need to use to defeat an ant?"

Ling Xiao counterquestioned.

What!

Lan Yu’er, along with Leng Hao, Dai Yuling, and others nearby, were all stunned.

They knew Ling Xiao was strong, but they never imagined that in his eyes, Yan Lie Huo would be nothing more than an ant.

Does one even need to exert any significant effort to defeat an ant?

My God, Yan Lie Huo was after all a top competitor who ranked fifty-first in the previous Martial Arts Festival finals.

Drawing a cold breath, Lan Yu’er and Dai Yuling exchanged wry smiles.

They were constantly becoming stronger, yet they found themselves increasingly distant from Ling Xiao. This guy truly deserved to be called a peerless genius; his breakthroughs were insanely fast.

Lan Yu’er turned to look at Jian Wuji, then at Holy Son Victoria Mingkong, and couldn’t help but bitterly smile, "I truly feel sorry for Jian Wuji and Victoria Mingkong. They thought they could easily crush Junior Brother Ling, but they had no idea that the advantages they had painstakingly accumulated could be so easily destroyed."

The battle of Joshua Long had also concluded smoothly by now, with victory secured within ten moves.

Seeing Ling Xiao and a disheartened Yan Lie Huo not far away, he understood everything.

As a proud member of the Dragon Clan, he couldn’t muster the slightest notion of betrayal towards Ling Xiao.

Because Ling Xiao was too terrifying.

In his heart, Ling Xiao was an outright monster, possessing calm and composure that were completely at odds with his age.

He had an extremely frightening capacity for analysis and judgment.

Of course, what was more terrifying was that no matter how hard he tried, no matter how great the Dragon Clan’s natural talent was, in front of this monster, none of it mattered at all.

Actually, Joshua Long didn’t understand.

He had worked hard, but Ling Xiao’s efforts were ten times his own.

He was someone who cultivated with such madness that it was life-threatening, and with the aid of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, today’s growth was completely normal.
