Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Sun Wu Ji didn't know that when he sheathed his sword, he actually saved his own life.

Otherwise, if he had drawn his sword, Ling Xiao would dare to kill him.

Candidates could already kill each other, so if Sun Wu Ji dared to act recklessly, Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't hesitate.

Seeing that Sun Wu Ji was silent, the woman finally spoke, "My name is Liu Lian, from the Willis Clan of Tianhai City. We're not a prestigious family, but we're well off, and I could have joined the White Tiger Summit.

However, my heart's desires soared beyond the heavens, yet my fate was as fragile as paper. I fell seriously ill, my cultivation level regressed, and a terrible demonic qi accumulated within me, refusing to dissipate.

This demonic qi tormented me terribly, preventing my cultivation and often causing me to lose my mind, so whenever I relapsed, I had to lock myself in a room to endure the torment."

"Telling me this is useless. He must apologize to me; otherwise, no matter what you say, I cannot help you."

Ji Luoyu also had a temper. Being confronted for so long, how could she still offer help kindly?

"I doubt you have that capability?"

Sun Wu Ji said disdainfully.

"Whether I do or not, what does it matter to you? Quickly take your cousin away; this is the Yingjie Building, not a place for your antics."

Ji Luoyu said coldly.

"Thud!"

Liu Lian suddenly knelt down, looking at Ji Luoyu, said, "Miss Luo Yu, my cousin was just concerned about me and misspoke in the moment. The fault is all mine. Today, Liu Lian kneels before you, only asking you to use your divine healing hands to relieve Liu Lian's pain!"

This girl was quite remarkable.

Kneeling before so many people to Ji Luoyu required great courage.

After all, she was a girl, and generally, girls feel more embarrassed.

"Hurry, get up. Otherwise, others might say Ji Luoyu is bullying people."

Being a girl, Ji Luoyu was naturally soft-hearted. She quickly stepped forward to help the girl up.

However, as soon as they touched, Ji Luoyu's face changed, retreating quickly. Black qi swirled between her hands.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao suddenly grabbed Ji Luoyu's delicate hand, absorbing that black qi into his body.

"Indeed, it's Heavenly Demon's demonic qi, and it's so pure."

Ling Xiao thought to himself.

"Who is this?"

This scene was also witnessed by Liu Lian. Many alchemists had once been scared away the moment they touched her and never dared to treat her again.

Ji Luoyu's current situation was similar, but surprisingly, the young man next to her showed no fear of the demonic qi, which was astonishing.

"This is my Brother Ling. If you want to be healed, asking him is more effective than asking me. His skills surpass Medicine King Sun Ran's."

Ji Luoyu said with a smile.

The moment Ling Xiao held her hand, she felt like she was ascending to heaven, her entire being felt filled with delicious honey—it was indescribably sweet.

"So it's Young Master Ling!"

Liu Lian looked at Ling Xiao, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her previously dim eyes.

"I can help you, but two conditions!"

Ling Xiao smiled at Liu Lian, "First, have that worthless guy apologize to my sister Luo Yu, sincerely!

Second, I want that Tai Chi Stone you have!"

Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly used her hands to cover her body, looking at Ling Xiao in shock, "How did you know I have a Tai Chi Stone?"

"No need to be so tense. I'm very familiar with the aura released by the Tai Chi Stone because it significantly aids my cultivation."

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Hearing this, Liu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, awkwardly lowering her hands, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ling, but the Tai Chi Stone is the heirloom of my Willis Clan, and it's very important to me. I cannot give it to you."

Ling Xiao smiled, "The so-called help is actually to suppress that Heavenly Demon's demonic qi for you, right? You used to have attacks almost every day, and with this item, it's only once a month—is my guess correct?"

"You! You're indeed amazing!"

Liu Lian became even more excited.

"Let's make a deal. If I cure your illness, the Tai Chi Stone will be mine, okay?"

Ling Xiao indeed had his eyes on that Tai Chi Stone.

The Tai Chi Stone contained both yin and yang forces, complementing each other, which was quite profound.

For his cultivation, it would certainly be immensely beneficial.

He was about to join the White Tiger Summit, and improving his cultivation was urgently needed.

Acquiring this Tai Chi Stone was absolutely essential for him.

He wasn't someone who would snatch things, so he proposed a trade.

"Cousin, don't listen to him. I've investigated this guy. His cultivation level is only at the Yin-Yang Realm Fourth Layer. Do you really think with that level, he can help you?"

Sun Wu Ji loudly said, "Listen to your cousin, let's go. There's no need to waste words with these two swindlers. They're clearly after the Tai Chi Stone."

"Cousin, if you won't apologize, then leave. I won't force you, but I believe in Young Master Ling. I can make this deal with him."

Liu Lian actually didn't have complete trust in Ling Xiao deep down. After all, it was the first meeting; how could she fully trust him?

Complete trust would mean she was naïve.

She did this because there was no other choice.

She knew very well that neither Medicine King Sun Ran nor Sun Leng Chan were within her reach.

Her Willis Clan was just another wealthy family. A single finger from them could destroy them all.

How could she miss the only hope she had?

Looking at Liu Lian, Ling Xiao couldn't help but silently praise her.

This girl was truly remarkable.

Not only was she graceful, but she could weigh the pros and cons, unlike many who seemed smart yet always chased after trifles, missing the bigger picture.

Actually, even if Sun Wu Ji didn't apologize and Liu Lian didn't want to trade, he would still help.

Because the pure demonic qi in Liu Lian's body was greatly beneficial to him.

"Apologize? That's impossible. Cousin, you've been deceived and cannot distinguish right from wrong. Fine, today I'll kill these two liars to wake you up!"

Sun Wu Ji suddenly drew his sword, the icy aura aimed at Ling Xiao.

He was actually going to make a move.

Ling Xiao sneered. Since he was going to take action, there was no need for further words. He also preferred solving problems with action—it was straightforward and quick.

But at that moment, Liu Lian suddenly stood in the middle, looking at Sun Wu Ji, "Cousin, are you crazy? They are my only hope."

It seemed that Sun Wu Ji really cared for Liu Lian. Almost about to strike, he withdrew his sword.

He didn't know that this was already the second time Liu Lian had saved his life.

"Alas, the cousin is so knowledgeable and courteous, yet the cousin brother acts like a fool!"

Ling Xiao sighed, looking at Ji Luoyu said, "Luo Yu, should I help you kill this guy? He seems determined not to apologize."

When he said kill, he truly dared to kill.
