Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Life and Death Battle

Shadow Armor was one of Ling Xiao’s lifesaving techniques.

The Blood Skeleton couldn’t even find him, let alone attack him.

"Damn it!"

Seemingly enraged, the Blood Skeleton suddenly released an even more formidable bloody aura.

Eight Blood Demons!

As he released his Heavenly Origin Power, countless skeleton heads charged in all directions.

The next moment, Ling Xiao felt threatened.

Although his Shadow Armor could conceal his form, area attacks could still hit him.

However, his methods were not limited to just Shadow Armor.

Black and White Light Wings!

Ling Xiao, having deactivated his Shadow Armor, suddenly took to the sky, moving as swiftly as a streak of light.

As a result, the Blood Skeleton’s attack missed its mark again.

"That’s the second move. You only have three chances, and there’s only one left. Think carefully about your next move!"

Ling Xiao hovered mid-air, looking down at the Blood Skeleton on the ground and laughed.

I may not be as strong as you, but I can fly. What are you going to do about it?

"Damn it! Look at my Death Entanglement!"

The Blood Skeleton roared furiously and punched outwards, and a giant skeleton head, dragging terrifying green flames, lunged at Ling Xiao.

No matter where Ling Xiao flew, the skeleton head pursued him relentlessly, like an indomitable spirit.

"Hahaha, let’s see how you dodge this. I don’t believe you have an endless supply of Heavenly Origin Power!"

"Crimson Sun Cone!"

In a moment of crisis, Ling Xiao stopped abruptly, and a blinding golden light shot forth.

Only those with sharp eyes could see that it was something like a cone, piercing straight through the largely depleted Death Entanglement.

The Death Entanglement naturally feared intense heat and sunlight.

And having already been weakened, this collision burned it to ashes.

"The three moves are up. Mr. Confident Blood Skeleton, should your Top Grade Heavenly Spirit Pill now belong to me?"

Ling Xiao didn’t land immediately—after all, the opponent was too shameless. Who knew if that guy might try a surprise attack?

He had witnessed the Blood Skeleton’s tactics during these three exchanges, so he certainly wouldn’t underestimate him.

"Come down, and I’ll give it to you!"

The Blood Skeleton trembled with anger.

He had come today to save face, but in the end, he had lost even more face.

"Blood Skeleton, are you planning to break your promise? If so, I wonder if God Phoenix College would still have the face to swagger in front of Qingxu College once word gets out?"

At this moment, the security teachers recovered from their initial shock.

Ling Xiao’s performance had entirely exceeded their expectations.

Though it looked unlikely that he would defeat the Blood Skeleton, just surviving three moves without being killed was already enough to make a name for himself.

So they decided to further assist Ling Xiao.

Such a student needed to be well protected.

"Here, take it!"

The Blood Skeleton’s pride was important, but what was clearer to him was that the reputation of God Phoenix College was even more so.

If he tarnished God Phoenix College’s reputation, he would never be able to continue there.

"Thank you!"

Ling Xiao extended his hand and caught the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

But he frowned.

"Never did I expect the people from God Phoenix College to be so treacherous. Did you think by hastily injecting poison into this Heavenly Spirit Pill, you could afflict me?"

Ling Xiao dismissively said, "It’s just a pity that, in my eyes, your methods are no better than a three-year-old’s pranks."

Hearing this, the surrounding onlookers all furrowed their brows.

Not being able to kill the opponent and then resorting to such despicable tactics, the Blood Skeleton has surely cheapened themselves.

"You’re slandering me!"

Blood Skeleton’s face turned livid with rage as he shouted loudly.

"Afraid to admit what you’ve done? Fine, I’ll slap you in the face again, so you can take a good look!"

With that, Ling Xiao placed the Heavenly Spirit Pill in the air, and then, using his Heavenly Origin Power, forcefully extracted the poison from it in front of everyone.

"This is Shadowless Poison!"

Someone exclaimed in alarm.

"Yes, it’s the Shadowless Poison unique to Phoenix God College. It’s fatal to even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists upon contact with skin, and it’s extremely rare. Even the Phoenix God College has only a limited amount, and there’s no known method of refinement. To use a little is to lose a little!"

This person was evidently an expert in poisons.

"It seems what Ling Xiao said was right; Blood Skeleton really has no shame."

"Not just shameless, but a disgrace to Phoenix God College!"

"Hmph, I think Phoenix God College was probably the one instigating this from behind. How else could Blood Skeleton have gotten his hands on such a poison?"

"Right! Now that you mention it, it does make some sense."

There was a buzz of discussion.

Blood Skeleton’s face became even uglier.

Because everything was hitting the mark.

Indeed, the poison had been given to him by Si Kong Zun, the vice president of Phoenix God College, to poison Ling Xiao.

Originally, he had looked down on using it, believing that killing Ling Xiao would be as easy as turning his hand.

But after three moves, he hadn’t been able to touch Ling Xiao, and so, with malice in his heart, he had resorted to such a fierce and potent poison.

How could he have imagined that the poison, which Si Kong Zun had boasted no one could detect or extract, would be so easily drawn out by Ling Xiao?

Not only had he lost all face, but he had even dragged Phoenix God College through the mud with him.

"Ling Xiao, don’t try to change the subject. Today, indeed, I underestimated you. Do you dare to fight me at the Imperial City Arena in a month’s time?"

In this situation, Blood Skeleton had nothing else to say, so he forcefully changed the subject to draw everyone’s attention.

"A fight to the death?"

Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

"Exactly, a fight to the death! Do you dare?"

Blood Skeleton asked.

"Hmph, you won’t be using underhanded tactics like these to harm me again, will you?" Ling Xiao said sarcastically.

"Rest assured, I will fight you fairly and squarely, where life and death will be decided!"

Blood Skeleton responded.

Ling Xiao remained silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Fine, since you attempted to poison and kill me today, I too intend to have you dead. Since you’ve made this request, I accept. In one month, on the Imperial City Martial Arts Platform, we will settle life and death!"

One month was enough time for him to elevate his cultivation level to Taiji Heaven.

Of course, in the meantime, he would need to refine more Heavenly Spirit Pills.

Previously, he hadn’t possessed the recipe for Heavenly Spirit Pills.

But now, he did.

With the powerful analytical ability of the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he could deduce the method to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pills simply by studying the Top Grade Heavenly Spirit Pill he had, and eventually, succeed in refining them.

By then, he could auction off the lesser-grade pills to exchange for more ingredients for further refinement, while keeping the better ones for his own use.

With the help of the Heavenly Spirit Pills and the effects of the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda, if he couldn’t break through to the Taiji Heaven cultivation level in one month, he would deserve to be killed by Blood Skeleton.

Yet while he spoke these words, others were unaware of his thoughts.

Nearly everyone on the scene thought he was crazy.

The Martial Arts Platform was different from this place.

There were spatial constraints, and no matter how good your Body Movement Technique was, you couldn’t fully utilize it within a confined area.
