Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 2488 - 491: The Most Cunning Foe Yet

"Between brothers, there’s no need for such formalities, but you are hailed as the greatest genius in the history of Eight Immortals Mountain. Would calling me ’Boss’ feel like a concession?"

Ling Xiao waved his hand, trusting that Ling Yan would stand with him through life and death like his other good brothers before.

With the Tai Chi Eye, he believed he couldn’t be wrong about people.

"Are you kidding, Boss? I’ve witnessed the terrifying speed of your cultivation.

I entered the world of reincarnation much earlier than you, yet now your cultivation level surpasses mine.

If we’re talking geniuses, Boss, you are truly the unrivaled genius!"

Ling Yan smiled helplessly.

"Enough talk, let’s rest briefly and then leave. That Dark Clan Elder knew I’d come to Demon Sea Domain and deliberately let the guards allow me in. He likely has ulterior motives."

Just as he spoke, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Old man, since you’re here, why not show yourself?"

He took a deep breath, gradually calming down.

Panic or fear was pointless now that the Dark Clan Elder had appeared; he could only face him calmly.

Fortunately, this was within his expectations.

Because of this, in the Demon Sea Domain, he didn’t use the Shen Dian or Butterfly Girl’s power.

Now they could come into play.

He must not be captured, nor Ling Yan!

Otherwise, that Dark Clan Elder would certainly use this event to make a fuss.

With ample reason, they could punish him openly.

The Elder likely wouldn’t kill him on the spot, preferring to stage a fair trial with all Eight Immortals Mountain present.

Facing everyone, they’d execute him.

No wonder everything went so smoothly; now Ling Xiao understood.

The old man had been watching him all along.

Seeing him save others, watching him flee here, only then did he appear.

"Hahaha, this young brat is sharp, detecting the presence of me, the old man."

The Dark Clan Elder appeared with a cold smile, standing alongside Elder An Hua.

"Elder, leave these two to me. You should quickly deal with Heiye Wuxing; I fear the Young Lord can’t hold him alone."

An Hua was thrilled to have such a chance to kill Ling Xiao; it was what she dreamed of.

She feared Heiye Wuxing, but definitely not Ling Xiao.

Even if he teamed up with Ling Yan, it was useless.

"There’s more than just the Young Lord; the Sect Leader has personally intervened, so don’t worry."

The Dark Clan Elder, cunning and sly, coldly stated, "I heard there’s a strong figure behind Ling Xiao, so I must remain here. You just go ahead; that unknown expert is my responsibility."

"The Elder is wise."

An Hua paused, then nodded.

Truth be told, her only fear was that unseen expert. If they were determined to protect Ling Xiao, she’d be in trouble.

Now, with the Elder’s protection, she wasn’t afraid.

"Ling Xiao, I can offer you a chance to live."

The Dark Clan Elder suddenly looked at Ling Xiao and said lightly.

"Oh? You’re showing such mercy, Elder?"

Ling Xiao smirked; he knew well the old man was planning no good.

"Of course, as long as you kill Ling Yan next to you with your own hands and take the pill in my hand, I can spare you."

The Dark Clan Elder took out a purple elixir pill with a mesmerizing hue.

"Mind-bewitching Pill! Wasn’t it refined by that woman named Qing Ling? I’ve heard it’s only brewed by those who understand the Mind-intoxicating Secret Technique."

Ling Xiao frowned, "Upon consuming, if you wish, you can control me like a puppet, right?"

"Haha, you indeed know much, but wouldn’t it be better to live under someone’s control than to die?

You’re a martial artist of this world of reincarnation, and a genius among geniuses; even I must admit your talent.

If you just die like this, it would be too wasteful."

The Dark Clan Elder sneered.

"I’d rather die standing than live kneeling. Besides, are you confident you can kill me? Knowing full well you’re watching from the shadows, I still chose to rescue Ling Yan. Do you know why?"

Ling Xiao smiled calmly.

"Kid, at this point, you’re still acting mysterious? Fine, it seems you truly wish to die. An Hua, go ahead."

The Dark Clan Elder’s grudge against Ling Xiao stemmed from An Feitian and Dark Gold.

But the real reason he wanted Ling Xiao dead was because his talent was too strong.

If such a person couldn’t be used, keeping him would be very troublesome.

"Yes, Elder!"

An Hua showed a cold smile and moved towards Ling Xiao and Ling Yan.

"Ling Yan, I’ll hold them back, you seize the chance to escape!"

Ling Xiao lowered his voice, standing in front of Ling Yan, and said.

"Boss, I won’t leave; I can’t always make you protect me."

Ling Yan shook his head, "To die, we die together; to live, we live together!"

"Enough! I know what you’re thinking, but as you are now, so weak, how can you help me? Leave, grow strong, and then return to aid me."

Ling Xiao shouted sternly.

"Hehe, none of you should try to leave; you’ll all die here."

An Hua showed a vicious smile.

"Not necessarily!"

Suddenly, Ling Xiao entered the transformation state of the Soul of the Butterfly Girl.

Only in this state could he defeat An Hua.

As for that Dark Clan Elder, with Shen Dian blocking the way, they wouldn’t escape easily.

Today, he must not only let Ling Yan escape, but also survive himself!

"Go!"

He shouted loudly.

Originally, Ling Yan wouldn’t leave even if beaten to death, but suddenly sensed the powerful energy released from Ling Xiao’s body.

He understood he was too weak.

Being weak, he could only leave.

Leaving was the best choice.

"Boss, don’t die!"

Having said that, he turned to leave.

"Can you escape?"

The Dark Clan Elder sneered, "If I’m here and you still escape, wouldn’t that be pathetic?"

Suddenly, he flashed and was in front of Ling Yan.

But just when he raised his hand to destroy Ling Yan, a terrifying Sword Qi suddenly attacked.

The Dark Clan Elder was taken aback, hurriedly dodging.

Ling Yan may not have known what happened, but chose to flee, no room for hesitation.

"Who dares intervene without showing themselves?"

The Dark Clan Elder couldn’t see Shen Dian’s phantom, feeling a bit tense.

Yet the opponent didn’t strike.

Shen Dian’s energy was limited; as long as it didn’t act, it could last longer.

This, too, could keep the Dark Clan Elder from making any rash moves.
