Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Ling Xiao Makes a Move_1

"Iron Cloth Scatter Hand!"

Shi Fei Yu’s attack technique was a complement to the "Iron Armor Divine Skill," and when executed, his limbs were as tough as if cast from steel, extremely difficult to deal with.

Frozen Ice Palm!

Ling Yixue did not dare to underestimate him, utilizing advanced martial arts that had reached the realm of perfection.

Her entire body’s Gang Qi instantly turned extremely cold, and as she struck out with her palm, it seemed as if white frost was forming.

Bang—!

Neither side gave ground, and the two forces of Gang Qi collided mid-air.

Shi Fei Yu’s body shook, feeling a chill in his arms, and he was temporarily unable to pursue his attack.

Ling Yixue even took three or four steps back before she could steady herself.

"So powerful!"

"Yes, Shi Fei Yu’s Iron Cloth Scatter Hand is truly terrifying, capable of breaking stones and splitting tablets, and yet Ling Yixue could withstand it, retreating only three or four steps at that. It seems her challenge to Shi Fei Yu is not unreasonable."

"But continues like this, she will eventually lose."

"Show your true abilities!" Shi Fei Yu shook his hands, dispelling the cold energy.

Yet, his face showed no joy, for from their first exchange, he had realized that Ling Yixue had not been fighting with full strength.

"As you wish!"

Ling Yixue had initially thought to hold back, in case others challenged her later.

But now it seemed that without giving her all, it would be very difficult to defeat Shi Fei Yu.

Suddenly, the Gang Qi around her body transformed into seven colors, looking as if she were wearing a robe of rainbow hues.

"Beginner-level top defensive martial arts—Seven-Colored Rosy Clouds Robe!"

Those with discerning eyes quickly recognized the martial arts Ling Yixue was using.

"Impossible, how does she know top-level martial arts?"

Ling Chen exclaimed in astonishment.

"What, you from the Ling Family didn’t even know that she knew top-level martial arts? Hehe, it seems your family isn’t very united."

Li Xinghui spoke with a faint smile, "But with this, the battle just got interesting."

"Hmph, Ling Yixue is merely at the intermediate stage of the Fifth Level Martial Pulse, while Shi Fei Yu is at the peak. With such a huge difference in strength, even if she has learned a beginner-level top martial arts, she is still bound to lose!"

Ling Chen scoffed disdainfully.

"Hehe, how interesting, you don’t even support your own clan member."

Li Xinghui looked at Ling Chen with interest, thinking that with the Ling Family in disarray, perhaps there was an opportunity to take advantage.

Only Ling Chen internally lamented that of the four who went to battle, the other three were in league with one another, leaving him isolated. He had no good feelings toward Ling Xiao, in fact, nothing but anger, so naturally, he harbored resentment towards Ling Yixue as well.

The battle continued.

The Ling Yixue who deployed the Seven-Colored Rosy Clouds Robe fought with Shi Fei Yu, making it difficult to predict the outcome.

Even though she was at a lower level, Ling Yixue seemed to have received guidance from a great master; her combat skills were very clever, completely compensating for her disadvantage in level.

"About time!"

After around fifty moves, Ling Xiao suddenly smiled, knowing Ling Yixue better than anyone else; the battle was about to end.

No sooner had his words fallen than a very strange scene unfolded on the stage. Shi Fei Yu’s body suddenly froze, rendering him unable to move.

If Ling Yixue had wished to kill him at that moment, it would have been effortless.

"Ling Yixue wins!"

"What just happened, how did Ling Yixue win?"

"Didn’t see clearly, probably some secret technique was used. Shi Fei Yu had no power to resist at all."

"No matter what, the Ling Family has gained some prestige this time, with two people entering the top four consecutively, and with Ling Chen added, that’s three, could it be that the Ling Family will monopolize the positions of the Four Young Masters?"

"It’s not that simple. The meeting has only just begun, Li Xinghui and Shi Yu Lian haven’t taken action yet, and besides, the Li Clan, Shi Clan, and Wang Clan all have strong martial artists too."

"But as it stands now, Ling Yixue seems to be the strongest of the Ling Family, followed by Ling Yihang. Ling Chen has yet to make a move, but he’s probably third, leaving Ling Xiao the weakest. Perhaps the Ling Family’s grand competition is just a blind, intended to make others lower their guard."

"Right, it’s very possible—to put a trash in the first place deliberately to make others let down their guard."

Hearing this conversation, the expressions on the faces of Ling Xiaotian and Supreme Elder Lingyin in the Ling Family pavilion were not very pleasant.

This time at the Heavenly Peak Meeting, Ling Yixue and Ling Xiao weren’t originally on the list. Now that Ling Yixue secured the third place, it completely caught them off guard.

And if their guesses were correct, Ling Xiao was probably even more fearsome than Ling Yixue.

A disciple who wasn’t selected achieving such a good ranking was basically a slap in their faces.

"What are you babbling about? Just what caliber Ling Xiao is, you’ll know if you try. Ling Xiao, if you are a man, come and challenge me!"

The one ranked seventh was a disciple from the Li Clan with a cultivation level of the late stage of Martial Pulse Fifth Level.

Ordinarily, Ling Xiao had no interest in such a person.

But when he thought of the brothers and kin from the Beggar’s Sect who had died tragically, he felt extremely irritated.

If you’re asking for a beating, then I’ll oblige!

He stood up, his eyes smiling as he looked towards the seventh-ranked disciple from the Li Clan, and leaped onto the arena.

"You don’t dare challenge Ling Yihang, you don’t dare challenge Ling Yixue, and you also don’t dare challenge Ling Chen, yet you set your sights on me—do you really think I’m that easy to bully?"

Ling Xiao was here for a spar, not to instruct others in martial arts.

Therefore, he had absolutely no interest in such people.

He planned to make quick work of the situation with a swift and decisive battle.

"So what if I do?" retorted that Li Clan disciple, unfazed, for he only targeted those he perceived as easy pickings.

"Alright then, you can get down now."

Ling Xiao waved his hand lightly.

What followed was a scene that left everyone staring agape.

A Martial Artist at the late stage of Martial Pulse Fifth Level, ranked seventh on the platform, was sent flying out like a piece of paper with just a gentle pat from him.

Completely without any reaction at all.

Not to mention a move.

Ling Xiao didn’t even use a technique, he merely waved his hand nonchalantly.

"How can he be so strong!"

The crowd below finally started to stir with shock.

"This Ling Xiao, perhaps he isn’t as bad as we thought."

"Think about it, the Ling Family’s annual grand tournament is no joke; if he could defeat Ling Feifan, then he definitely can’t be weak."

"I don’t believe this evil, Ling Xiao, do you dare to accept my challenge?"

Another Li Clan disciple leaped up.

"Are you stronger than the one just now?" Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

"Roughly the same."

"If it’s roughly the same, why come up at all? Get down!"

At the fall of his words, another light wave of his hand, and the person who had just jumped onto the platform was thrown back down.

Twice in a row, he had thrown two Martial Artists at the late stage of Martial Pulse Fifth Level off the platform, and it seemed completely effortless, without using any real force.

Thus, still no one could determine his true strength.

"Shi Yue, you go and challenge Ling Xiao!"

Shi Yu Lian, sitting on the fifth platform, suddenly turned to a young man in their family’s pavilion and said.

"Sister, have me deal with him? Isn’t that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" the young man retorted, leaving the crowd in surprise.

Everyone had just witnessed Ling Xiao’s capability, and this Shi Yue certainly wasn’t blind to still speak so confidently, which was enough to suggest that his strength was far superior to those of the other two from earlier.

"Do as I say!"

The voice of Shi Yu Lian carried an almost magical quality, causing anyone who heard it to feel extremely comfortable.

Ling Xiao was no exception, although he only indulged in the sound of her voice without letting it distract him.

"Understood, sister."

Shi Yue leaped onto the platform and addressed Ling Xiao, "Don’t take offense at my harsh words, Ling Xiao. The moment I make a move, it will inevitably draw blood. I hope you’ll step down on your own."
