Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

“Pierce!”

Li Xingyun’s sword pierced the Howling Moon Wolf’s body.

However, it only dug half an inch past its fur. The sword couldn’t go any further.

A rank four demonic beast had a terrifying defense. Its bones were dense,  not any inferior to Li Xingyun’s sword.

“Aowu——!”

The Howling Moon Wolf howled in pain before spitting out its gang qi blades again.

Li Xingyun pulled back his sword to defend himself but couldn’t block all of them. Although he had obviously cultivated a defensive merit law, so he wasn’t seriously injured, his wounds weren’t light.

He was unable to withstand the terrifying power behind the gang qi blades and slammed into a tree.

This small injury might be nothing for a Peak Rank Three Martial Vein martial artist, but when fighting against an expert, small injuries altered the line between life and death.

Originally, he had already been inferior to that Howling Moon Wolf, and now that he was knocked down, how could the Howling Moon Wolf miss this chance? It pounced forward.

“Senior apprentice brother Xingyun!”

Seeing the current circumstances, Li Clan’s disciples were endlessly frightened. Some even covered their eyes.

“Whoosh!”

As Li Xingyun was about to die a tragic death, a sword light flashed. It bypassed the obstacles and hit the Howling Moon Wolf.

“Aowu——!”

Howling Moon Wolf gave a hysterical, horrifying shriek. That sound was so harsh that it shook a few Li Clan disciples to the extent that they fainted on the spot while foaming at the mouth.

The surrounding plants and trees rustled as if they were trembling in fear.

Li Clan’s disciples looked over in surprise and discovered that the sword light had already disappeared, leaving only an obviously deepened wound on the wolf’s forehead.

That sword had unexpectedly struck the injury left behind by Li Xingyun before.

The sword light struck and retreated in an instant. The wolf couldn’t find even a shadow of its attacker.

At this moment, Li Xingyun also seized the chance to extricate himself from the difficult situation.

He was an intelligent person. He knew that someone had helped out. No matter who it was, he still had to first retain his life.

However, the Howling Moon Wolf obviously wouldn’t let him off easily.

After not finding its sneak attacker, Howling Moon Wolf directed all its hatred towards Li Clan’s disciples and ferociously pursued them!

“Ah——!”

“Ah!”

Their blood-curdling screams resounded again and again.

In just an instant, two Li Clan disciples died.

At this moment, although Li Xingyun wanted to stop the Howling Moon Wolf, he was powerless. He was already dizzy following excessive blood loss.

He could only helplessly watch his fellow disciples be massacred.

Suddenly, that sword reemerged!

Whoosh!

It accurately hit that hole in the wolf’s forehead!

Aowu——!

Even if the Howling Moon Wolf could bully these disciples, it was only a rank four demonic beast.

Ling Xiao had cultivated Hundred Steps Flying Sword’s nine layers to perfection. In addition, his Breeze Sword and <Violent Qi Forumula> increased his might by twofold. With such power, he had stabbed an already opened wound twice.

Even if its bones were hard, its skull would still be pierced!

Naturally, if he wanted to kill the Howling Moon Wolf like this normally, it would only be a dream. 

However, Howling Moon Wolf was in the light while Ling Xiao could continuously use his Hundred Steps Flying Sword from the dark.

With every strike, he shifted his position. Therefore, even though the Howling Moon Wolf would rush to the beam’s origin, it could only howl at the sky.

While the Howling Moon Wolf searched for Ling Xiao, those Li Clan disciples hastily retreated. Just a moment ago, they had thoroughly experienced the terror of the Howling Moon Wolf.

If they wasted time and didn’t run away, they truly wouldn’t have any chance to escape.

“Let’s go! Senior apprentice brother Xingyun, regardless of who made the move, today, we will be able to return alive!”

Upon seeing Li Xingyun’s reluctance to leave, everybody urged him.

Li Xingyun hummed in agreement, but he was clearly still somewhat reluctant. The wolf’s aura had clearly weakened. It was now on the verge of dying.

Leaving just like this was honestly too regrettable.

When it came down to it, at the very beginning, he had been the one to leave a true wound on the Howling Moon Wolf.

“Aowu——!”

The Howling Moon Wolf suddenly howled before retreating deeper into the forest.

“Hahaha, still not dead!”

In the midst of laughter, a figure dashed in the direction of the Howling Moon Wolf’s escape.

Ling Xiao, who had used <Soaring Cloud Steps>, was faster than the Howling Moon Wolf that had slowed due to excessive blood loss.

The Howling Moon Wolf was full of treasures and worth more than 450,000 taels of silver. After toiling for such a long time, he couldn’t waste his efforts.

After all, he had made the move not only to save Li Xingyun but also to seize the chance to kill this Howling Moon Wolf.

“Isn’t that the Ling Clan disciple we saw just a moment ago?”

Someone recognized him.

“Yes, he seemed to be called Ling Xiao. His movement technique is so terrifying. How can he be so fast?”

“That flying sword technique must have been used by him. Where did he obtain such a merit law? We haven’t heard of the Ling Clan having such a sword technique.”

“Humph, if it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have lost so many people!”

“Yea! If it weren’t for senior apprentice brother Xingyun injuring that Howling Moon Wolf first, what could he have done?”

Among the disciples of the Li Clan, there were several discontented disciples who were stronger than Ling Xiao and didn’t fear seeking retribution.

In addition to Li Xingyun who had a cultivation of Peak Rank Three Martial Vein, there were three more at the same level.

They naturally looked down on Ling Xiao and felt that he was taking cheap advantage of their misfortune.

“Heh heh, this is also good! After he kills that Howling Moon Wolf, we can directly snatch a sweet bargain.”

One Rank Three Martial Vein disciple sneered.

Li Xingyun also had a sinister look. It seemed that he too had this thought.

“This cannot be considered us robbing him. Originally, we were the ones who lured out that Howling Moon Wolf. No one asked him to make a move!”

Someone else added.

“Aowu——!”

At that moment, a mournful howl resounded several hundred meters away. Everybody here could hear tell it was a beast’s last plaintive cry before death.

“It died?”

“Let’s go! Go and take a look!”

Li Xingyun waved his hand, and everybody swiftly followed him one. Although three people had died, they still numbered ten people. Naturally, they weren’t afraid of Ling Xiao.

Not far away, Ling Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat cross-legged on the ground.

He was using <Return Qi Formula> to recover his true qi.

In order to kill this Howling Moon Wolf, Ling Xiao had continuously used his <Violent Qi Formula>, consuming a lot of true qi.

Now, after killing it with great difficulty, his true qi was almost depleted.

He was worried that the Li Clan’s disciples would come looking for trouble, so he didn’t rush to clean the scene. Instead, he rushed to restore his true qi.

If the other party looked for trouble, it would be better to be prepared.

In addition to using his <Return Qi Formula>, he also chewed a herb used for refining the “Return Qi Pill”.

Although its effects were certainly nferior to a Return Qi Pill. It was better than nothing.

This time, he had killed a rank four demonic beast, a Howling Moon Wolf, with his Peak Rank Two Martial Vein cultivation due his good luck.

If Li Xingyun hadn’t initially cut open a wound, his attack wouldn’t have broken through the Howling Moon Wolf’s defense.

Although he was discontented, it was reality.

The gap between their cultivation realms was too big. Even if his merit laws were powerful, it was difficult to overcome this gap.

He had to quickly raise his cultivation.

Sure enough, the Li Clan disciples soon rushed over to the scene.

Li Xingyun led them.

“Brother Ling, we first discovered this Howling Moon Wolf. In addition, we lured it out. Since Brother Ling helped kill it, we will naturally give you something as compensation.” Li Xingyun calmly said.

However, he had already changed from an elegant noble son into a heap of smelly **** in Ling Xiao’s eyes.

Shameless thing!
