Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

The “raffle” spinning disk rapidly rotated clockwise.

Honestly speaking, what Ling Xiao desired most right now were pills.

However, if he could draw some other interesting or useful things, it certainly wouldn’t be a loss

There were many things on the spinning disk that interested him. For instance, there was actually an intermediate merit law called “Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique.” 

Since he had found no such merit law in the Ling Clan’s Library Pavilion, this law had to be very rare.

From its description, after achieving success in this Hundred Steps Sword Technique, one could behead people from several hundred meters away.

It was more powerful than bows and arrows.

Bows and arrows were uncontrollable. Once an arrow was shot, its fate was determined.

However, this Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique was controllable. As long as one cultivated gang qi, even after sending out a flying sword, you could control its speed and trajectory.

That was truly amazing!

“Hundred Step Flying Sword! Pills!”

“Hundred Step Flying Sword! Pills!”

At present, Ling Xiao wanted these two things the most. So, when the disk spun, he couldn’t help shouting these words in hopes of influencing the draw. 

“Good! It’s <Hundred Steps Flying Sword>!”

Ling Xiao jumped in excitement.

Although this <Hundred Steps Flying Sword> couldn’t improve his cultivation, it would greatly increase his combat power. Just imagining being able to kill other people before they could approach excited him. It was truly incomparable.

“Congratulations for drawing the intermediate merit law <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>, Master Landscape. Because this is the first time you’ve used the lottery function, you were also rewarded a flying sword.”

This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.

Ling Xiao scanned the flying sword’s description.

Breeze Sword: Excellent Grade Flying Sword. Effects when used for displaying flying-sword-type martial skills: flying speed is increased by 20%, and the merit law’s power is increased by 20%.

Remarks: An item obtained from the Landscape Space. Only Master Landscape can display these special effects. If granted to other people, the special effects will disappear.

In addition, if this item is snatched, you can recover it in the Landscape Painting an unlimited times.

These remarks were reasonable. In other words, even if this sword were snatched by others, it would only act as an ordinary sword. There will be no increase in their flying speed or the power of their merit laws.

This was pretty good. After all, finding a jade ring treasure could easily become a crime. Now, Ling Xiao was powerless to keep anything good, so other people might truly pilfer this flying sword from him.

However, they would only receive an ordinary steel sword, nothing worthy of him being distressed. Furthermore, the Landscape Painting would give him a new one.

Therefore, he didn’t need to worry at all.

In addition, this Breeze Sword clearly complemented flying-sword-type martial skills like <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>.

Although it had restrictions on its use, it was enough like this.

Ling Xiao was not a greedy person. With these things, his combat power would definitely significantly increase. Now, if he ran into Ling Chong, he wouldn’t even need to raise his hands. Once his flying sword appeared, Ling Chong would fall on the spot.

After obtaining <Hundred Steps Flying Swords>, Ling Xiao couldn’t wait to start cultivating it. He emerged from the Landscape Painting and found a quiet place to master this intermediate merit law.

It was different from other martial skills. Although <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique> had a familiar nine required layers to achieve perfection, it had only one style, that of the flying sword.

After all, it was only an intermediate merit law, so one could only expect it to have certain limits. 

Ling Xiao spent two days cultivating <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>’s nine layers to perfection.

With the analysis and deduction of his Landscape Martial Soul, it was simple to master this kind of martial skill that only had one style.

The most obvious effect was that the better his <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>, the faster and stronger his flying sword. After cultivating all nine layers to perfection, killing a Peak Rank Three Martial Vein martial artist was no problem.

However, that would change if the other party cultivated a powerful defensive merit law. Nevertheless, a one hit death strike that could cross realms was truly fearsome. 

Ka——

Suddenly, Ling Xiao heard a sharp bird cry in the sky.

Peering up, he saw a peak rank two demonic beast, a Dark Vulture.

This was not the first time this dark vulture had hovered above Ling Xiao in the past two days. It had been looking for a chance to kill him, little knowing his strength.

It had disturbed Ling Xiao’s cultivation several times and forced him to relocate quite a few times in these two days. In fact, he had almost faced a qi deviation.

This beast actually dared to come again today! Well, it had arrived just in time for him to test the might of his Hundred Steps Flying Sword!

Thinking this, Ling Xiao stood up and circulated his true qi while using his <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>. The Breeze Sword in his hand seemed to hum with energy.

Swish!

The Breeze Sword only left behind afterimages as it soared into the sky.

A sharp whistling sound pierced the air as it quickly zoomed toward the hovering dark vulture.

Compared to bows and arrows, <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>’s main advantage was that he didn’t need to take aim. As long as he locked onto the target, unless the other party successfully blocked or somehow dodged it, it was a near certain hit.

“Ka——”

This flying sword’s speed was honestly too fast. By the time the dark vulture noticed it, the sword was too close for it to dodge. A white light pierced its body, splattering its blood on the forest floor.

“Aiya! I failed to hit a vital point!”

Since this was his first time using <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique> in action, he was unfamiliar with controlling it, so although the flying sword impaled the dark vulture, it missed his target.

That beast, after all, was a peak rank two demonic beast, which was equivalent to a Peak Rank Two Martial Vein martial artist. Without hitting a vital point, a sword couldn’t take its life.

The dark vulture angrily dived down, clearly wanting to go all-out against him.

However, this dark vulture’s brain was inferior to a human being’s. It didn’t suspect that the <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique> could also recall a flying sword!

Go!

Return!

These two motions formed one attack!

Therefore, when the dark vulture dove, the Breeze Sword followed its lethal dive. This time, it directly impaled the dark vulture’s head.

This was actually not due to Ling Xiao’s manipulation; he had yet to grasp gang qi, so he couldn’t release the energy within his body.

However, because of the dark vulture’s unwise trajectory, the flying sword's return had caused it to pierce the beast’s head.

“Lucky!”

Ling Xiao sighed in relief.

It seemed that cultivating was one thing while actual combat was another.

When he had cultivated <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>, he had only used stones or trees as targets.

Since they were stationary, he had easily hit them. Clearly, he lacked combat experience.

If he wanted to completely master <Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique>, he had to fight demonic beasts!

Eagerly approaching the fallen corpse, he salivated at its valuable materials. If he sold it in the marketplace, he would gain at least 1,000 taels.

After all, this was a peak rank two demonic beast.

Its blood and bones could be used for pills.

After throwing the dark vulture’s corpse into the Landscape Painting, Ling Xiao picked up his Breeze Sword and used <Soaring Cloud Steps> to  travel around Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.

He wanted to find the younglings of demonic beasts. Naturally, he also wanted to hunt some demonic beasts below rank three for money.

After all, selling only rare merit laws was too conspicuous. Selling basic and elementary martial arts was fine, but once he started selling intermediate martial arts, it would be impossible for him to avoid discovery. 

“Eh? That must be the nest of that dark vulture!”

After Ling Xiao killed the dark vulture, he wondered whether this fellow had left behind a nest, so he carefully backtracked to places he had often seen the demonic beast prowling. 

Sure enough, he found a bird’s nest on a precipitous cliff that contained four younglings.

Ling Xiao put them all into the Landscape Painting without demur and ordered that level two herdsman to raise them.

These dark vultures not only had materials for refining pills but would also become peak rank two demonic beasts even if they didn’t cultivate. At that time, they might be of some help.
