Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

"You've got some nerve. This general has been loyal to Crown Prince Wise King since the age of thirteen, and even I have never received such a Token from the Wise and Virtuous King.

Who do you think you are?"

This is obviously fake!

To actually dare forge a Token—your crime is monstrous. You deserve death!"

"Forge a Token?"

Ling Xiao was slightly stunned. He truly hadn't expected that this Commander of the Mansion Guards, just to kill him, would actually dare deny even the Wise and Virtuous King's Token.

Not only that, but the surrounding people all began nodding one after another, seeming to very much agree with the Commander's words.

"Didn't think you'd be this vicious. To kill me, you're even willing to deny the Wise and Virtuous King's Token."

Ling Xiao sneered. "But are you so sure you're actually my match?"

The Commander's thinking was very simple. He didn't care whether the Token in Ling Xiao's hand was real or fake. As long as he killed Ling Xiao, its authenticity would be decided by his word.

Of course, the key to all this was that he had to be able to kill Ling Xiao—that he was stronger than Ling Xiao.

And he firmly believed that.

"Hmph, no matter how flowery your tongue, how slick your talk, it's useless!"

The Commander, who had long been ready to attack, suddenly leapt high, the long knife in his hand chopping down toward Ling Xiao.

He no longer bothered to think about anything else.

He'd kill Ling Xiao first and talk later.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew Ling Xiao was finished.

Especially the black-clothed middle-aged man, who was secretly sneering.

Once Ling Xiao died, and by the hand of the Commander of the Wisdom Sage King Mansion, he wouldn't even need to make a move himself.

Clang!

An Eight Immortals Sword appeared in Ling Xiao's hand.

At the same time, he instantly entered the state of Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul Transformation.

On the Eight Immortals Sword, purple Thunder and Lightning flickered, incomparably shocking.

"Killing me? You don't have that ability!"

Not only did he not retreat, he instead thrust out with a single sword.

"Shadow Sword Demon, Small Success level!"

A terrifying Mo Ying tore through the air, fiercely slamming into the Commander's long knife.

This sword strike fused the power of the Purple Lightning Thunder Bull Beast Soul Transformation and the Top-level Thunder and Lightning Battle Body.

Combined with the Divine Spiritual Tool–grade Eight Immortals Sword.

Its power was incomparable.

The Commander was actually forced back once again.

Although this time he only landed awkwardly and didn't retreat too far, the sight still shocked everyone present.

"What's with that Ling Xiao?

He struggled so much to beat Wu Yue before. How is he now seemingly able to fight the Commander on equal footing?"

"Yeah, it's too shocking. How on earth did this kid Cultivate?"

The crowd was utterly astonished, unable to make sense of this.

"So, kid, you've been playing the pig to eat the tiger all along. You really are harboring sinister intentions!"

The Commander was also extremely shocked.

But what he focused on was the purpose behind Ling Xiao hiding his strength.

In a Violent Anger, he launched another attack.

However, this time, before Ling Xiao could even act, Yue Fang Hua lightly moved her Lianhua-like steps and stood in front of him.

"What? Bullying my man got you addicted or something?"

Seeing Yue Fang Hua step out, the Commander frowned slightly, clearly a bit wary.

Because the Wise and Virtuous King had once given an order: no one was allowed to provoke Yue Fang Hua.

Although he didn't know what that order truly meant, the Commander still remained very cautious.

"If you don't dare make a move, then get lost to the side!"

Yue Fang Hua said coldly.

This sentence infuriated the Commander again. His aura grew even stronger, the glow on his body becoming ever more dazzling.

He actually intended to attack Yue Fang Hua for real.

"Enough!"

Right at that moment, a cold voice rang out, and a mass of Fire floated over from the distance.

When it landed, it revealed Hong Minger's graceful figure.

The Commander hurriedly withdrew his aura, cupped his hands toward Hong Minger, and said, "Miss Hong!"

In his eyes, Hong Minger was the number two figure in the Wisdom Sage King Mansion, second only to the Wise and Virtuous King. He could not afford to offend her.

So toward Hong Minger, he had always been very respectful.

Or rather, fearful.

The Mansion's Soldiers and Guest Elders also found it strange. Why would Hong Minger personally come here?

Could it be that Crown Prince Wise King had new orders?

Was he now planning not to kill Ling Xiao?

"All Mansion's Soldiers heed my command—whoever dares run wild in the Wisdom Sage King Mansion shall be killed without mercy!"

Hong Minger said coldly.

Everyone understood what this line meant.

The Commander heard her words loud and clear, so he was extremely puzzled. "But Miss Hong, that guy Ling Xiao—!"

"Mind your tongue. The Token in Ling Xiao's hand was personally bestowed by His Highness. Or do you mean to say you won't even heed His Highness' words?"

Hong Minger suddenly turned incomparably icy as she looked at the Commander.

"This subordinate wouldn't dare!"

He glared viciously at Ling Xiao, full of dissatisfaction and embarrassment, his face extremely ugly.

"If you don't dare, then do what you should be doing. Whatever Ling Xiao has done is not your concern. Don't forget your own duty—

Guard the Royal Mansion!"

Hong Minger added another line.

"Yes!"

The Commander shuddered violently, suddenly realizing what he had done wrong.

It wasn't that he had targeted Ling Xiao, but that he had failed to fulfill his own duty, and the Wise and Virtuous King detested such people the most.

"Hong Minger, I've heard that the Wisdom Sage King Mansion has a rule: those who trespass into the Royal Mansion shall die!

I wonder if this rule still stands?"

Ling Xiao had no intention of continuing to butt heads with the Commander. Since Hong Minger was here, he might as well get straight to the point.

"Of course!"

Hong Minger nodded.

"Good. I, Ling Xiao, have always taken responsibility for my own actions. What happened today was caused by me, so let me be the one to end it."

Though that's what he said, by bringing up "those who trespass into the Royal Mansion shall die," he was clearly tying the Wise and Virtuous King onto his pirate ship.

Either the Wise and Virtuous King would treat his own words as farting into the wind and be mocked Under Heaven.

Or he'd have to help Ling Xiao deal with the Boye Family.

Ling Xiao didn't care what Hong Minger was thinking right now. He had already walked to the front of the formation, looked at the Boye Family crowd, and said, "You're here for nothing more than my life.

I'm right here. If you've got the ability, then come and take it."

"So arrogant! So domineering!"

"Where does his confidence come from?"

"Does he really think Crown Prince Wise King will go to war with Lord Thunder Venerate for his sake?"

Most people had no idea what Ling Xiao was thinking. This man really did manage to surprise everyone at every turn.

The black-clothed middle-aged man, seeing this scene, revealed a cold smile.

Honestly, if Ling Xiao had hidden inside the Royal Mansion, he truly wouldn't have dared shed blood there.

This incursion was merely meant to give the Wise and Virtuous King a show of force. If he actually injured someone, then even Lord Thunder Venerate wouldn't shield him.

But now, things were great—Ling Xiao didn't hide. He came out instead and even said, in front of everyone, that he'd answer alone for his actions.

With such a golden opportunity, how could he possibly let it slip by?

"Tie him up for me!"

The black-clothed middle-aged man waved his hand and shouted sharply.

As his voice fell, four people leapt out from behind him, intending to pin Ling Xiao down on the spot.

Two men weren't enough, so they sent four.

It seemed that Ling Xiao's ability to block a strike from the Commander had truly made the Boye Family people somewhat fearful.

Ling Xiao simply stood there, coldly watching the four, and secretly spoke to Yue Fang Hua: "Fanghua, don't make a move for now!"
