Heavenly Peak City, Ling Clan.
The dazzling sunlight lit up the bright-red blood river, illuminating it with a dizzying radiance.
Among the original 500 or so brave warriors who had pledged their lives to the Ling Clan, only 100 were left now.
Naturally, the enemy side had paid an even heavier price.
No one knew how long this tragic battle wouldl continue.
Perhaps, it would only end after all the Ling Clan’s people were wiped out.
In this world where strength reigned, everyone weaker was in a precarious state.
Human lives were so fragile that they could collapse at a single blow.
Like a leaf blowing in the wind, they could be easily torn into two.
“Hu——!”
Ling Xiao exhaled a long breath.
He couldn’t find his grandfather Hong Qi and Ling Luo in the crowd.
Had they died?
Or were they hiding?
He didn’t know, but those corpses made people give up all hope.
If someone carefully observed the situation, one would notice that those who had allied with Uncle Ling Er along with their family members were missing.
Uncle Ling Er truly had foresight that didn’t match his strength. If he were the Patriarch of the Ling Clan, perhaps, this situation wouldn’t have become so tragic.
After Ling Xiaotian had efused Fei Yun’s advice to surrender, Second Uncle Ling Wuhen had noticed the grim situation and quickly hid all those in his courtyard with no combat power in a secret underground room.
At least for now, those people survived and wouldn’t die in vain.
Fight!
Fight until their last drops of blood dried out!
Ling Xiao didn’t intend to hide any secrets. If he didn’t use all his strength here, he would definitely die.
“Senior Apprentice Sister Yixue, move away!”
With a loud shout, Ling Xiao made an astonishing move.
He gave up on escaping and used his own body to draw the attacks of those four Martial Masters.
He couldn’t watch Ling Yixue get killed.
He also couldn’t watch those four Martial Masters deal with the other Ling Clan members.
Of course, he wasn’t courting death.
He dared to do this only because he had a way to survive.
“What can you do?”
Shi Long looked at Ling Xiao with disdain, but his attacks suddenly stopped.
Li Yunsheng and the other two Martial Masters also stopped.
These four weren’t stupid. They knew that Ling Xiao was very crafty, and the death of Fei Mu had truly shocked everyone.
They didn’t want to become the second Fei Mu.
Ling Xiao didn’t speak, only staring indifferently at Shi Long and the others.
There was no hatred or fear in his eyes, just cold indifference as if he had no feelings.
He truly wanted to see through these people’s bodies and see whether their hearts were black. How could they be so sinister and heartless?
They were all of the Human Race, but they were willing to serve intruders and massacre their own compatriots.
“This boy has evil ways!”
Even a Martial Master on Shi Long’s level had goosebumps upon seeing Ling Xiao’s cold eyes.
Those eyes were not only cold but also deep as if they contained a vast world. They were unable to see through what he was thinking.
“What? Facing me, a trifling Initial Rank Six Martial Vein martial artist, the grand Shi Clan Patriarch is actually scared?”
Ling Xiao’s eyes were filled with dense disdain and contempt.
“Boy, since you are courting death, this City Lord will help you achieve your aim! You three, go and kill that woman!”
He, a grand Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, was actually being looked down on by this junior who still smelled of his mother’s milk. This was a humiliation.
He had already seen Ling Xiao’s “A Terrifying Finger” and believed that that was Ling Xiao’s strongest move.
As long as he was a bit careful, there wouldn’t be any problems.
He snorted. Although Ling Xiao was very talented and slippery, what had happened to Fei Mu was an accident. He absolutely didn’t believe that the same thing would happen twice,
Shi Long emitted his powerful true essence, suffocating others.
A Martial Master, after all, was a Martial Master. He truly was different from those martial artists below Rank Seven Martial Vein.
He had no weapon since he disdained them.
His palm alone was not any inferior to a weapon.
The terrifying true essence condensed into a realistically huge palm that ferociously swatted ing Xiao’s head.
This palm had no useless moves, only terrifying might.
This was the so-called ‘one strength subdues ten wills.’
When power reached a certain level, it was very difficult to make up the difference with techniques.
“Break for me!”
Ling Xiao didn’t move, but behind him, a cherry tree bloomed, and cherry blossoms danced in the air like specks resembling shooting stars.
Then, these motes of light gathered to form a huge sword made of cherry blossoms that directly shot towards Si Long’s huge palm.
This huge sword seemed to know the weakest point of that huge palm and directly hit it.
“Kacha!”
The huge palm shattered.
Shi Long’s hand trembled. His fingertip was actually pierced, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.
“Ren spirit? No! This is a martial soul! A complete martial soul!”
Shi Long was shocked. He had clearly remembered that this Cherry Tree Ren Spirit had belonged to Fei Mu, so how had it become Ling Xiao’s martial soul?
Moreover, it was not like Li Xinghui’s incomplete martial soul but rather a complete martial soul.
His surprise was not limited to him.
On the other side, Fei Yun who was fighting Ling Xiaotian was also distracted upon seeing Ling Xiao use Fei Mu’s Ren spirit. As a result, Ling Xiaotian seized this chance to injure him.
If it weren’t for Li Yunsheng hastily rushing over to save him, Fei Yun might have also been buried here today.
“Thief, how can you have Fei Mu’s Ren spirit? Tell me! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
The injured Fei Yun vomited blood.
However, the injury didn’t make him as uncomfortable as the anger in his heart.
“Are you joking? Whether or not I tell you, you will try to kill me.”
Ling Xiao looked at Fei Yun with disdain. Since he had revealed Fei Mu’s Ren spirit today, he didn’t plan to survive.
Even if he died here, he wanted to pull one or two enemies down with him.
Upon reaching Rank Six Martial Vein Realm, the Landscape Martial Soul had gained one more special ability——Devouring Battle Soul.
The co-called battle souls referred to the souls used in battle such as martial souls, Ren spirits, and so on.
Originally, Ling Xiao had planned to seize Li Xinghui’s incomplete martial soul, but he never expected to encounter this accident, so the first one he devoured was unexpectedly Fei Mu’s Ren spirit.
Naturally, when he used it, the ren spirit became a martial soul that could be used in a battle.
“The Landscape Martial Soul was all-inclusive.”
Ling Xiao gradually understood this saying.
“Shi Long, you cooperate with Li Yunsheng to deal with that old man Ling. I will deal with Ling Xiao!”
Fei Yun couldn’t tolerate that Fei Mu’s Ren spirit had been seized by Ling Xiao, so he wanted to use Ling Xiao’s head as a tribute for the dead Fei Mu.
“Okay, Lord Envoy!”
Honestly speaking, Shi Long had no confidence in dealing with Ling Xiao now.
This boy was not powerful, but he had too many strange means, making it hard to guard against him. Although he was not afraid of being killed by the other party, if he lost or the other party seized an advantageous position, he would lose face.
“I don’t care how you got Fei Mu’s Ren spirit, but you will die today!”
