Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

With a slight "swish" sound, the tip of the sword was already against the young man's throat. The young man felt the cold tip of the sword, and a chill surged in his heart.

He knew that as long as Ling Xiao exerted a little force, his life would be immediately lost here.

The young man had never expected such a result, and his eyes were full of astonishment and confusion.

His sword, the lower-grade sword of the human-level that once made him proud and was well-known in the East China Sea, was now in Ling Xiao's hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at his throat.

He tried to struggle, but his body seemed to be fixed by an invisible force and could not move.

At the same time, Shangguan Yu also froze in place, her face full of shock. It was not that she did not want to help, but she did not take Ling Xiao seriously at all.

Coming from the East China Sea, she always had a high opinion of herself and believed that there were few opponents among the young warriors in the Southern Region who could match her. Even if there were, they were all familiar to her and she was prepared for them.

However, the appearance of Ling Xiao broke her cognition. This strange young man not only easily took away the sword of her subordinate, but also subdued him in an instant. She had never seen such a swift and accurate attack, which made her re-evaluate Ling Xiao's strength.

Shangguan Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner shock.

She looked at Ling Xiao coldly, with a little praise in her voice, but more of it was still arrogant: "You are very good, my men underestimated the enemy too much, and let you succeed. However, if you can tell us the whereabouts of that old guy, I promise not to kill you."

Ling Xiao's mouth corners slightly raised, with a playful smile, he said: "That's easy to say, you take out 10 million middle-grade spirit stones as compensation, and I promise not to kill you. But if you don't want to, don't blame me for being rude."

Shangguan Yu frowned after hearing this.

As a martial soul master of the Empress Palace, she boasted that she had a very high status and strength in the Southern Region, but at this moment, she was provoked by an unknown young man, and her face was naturally a little bit embarrassed.

There was a cold killing intent in her eyes, as if she wanted to freeze Ling Xiao instantly.

"I'll give you three breaths, let him go!" Shangguan Yu's voice was cold and firm, and every word seemed to carry a sharp sword aura.

However, before she finished her words, Ling Xiao had already moved. His movements were swift and precise, and the sword in his hand thrust forward, and the tip of the sword accurately pierced the young man's throat.

However, he obviously mastered the measure, and the tip of the sword did not go too deep. With the young man's cultivation, such an injury was not fatal.

The young man felt a sharp pain coming from his throat, and he groaned in pain, his eyes full of fear and fear. He never thought that a seemingly ordinary teenager would have such a cruel method.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was fortunate that Ling Xiao did not kill him, otherwise he would have been a corpse at this moment.

Shangguan Yu saw this, her face became even uglier. She originally thought that with her own strength, she could easily force Ling Xiao to surrender, but she did not expect Ling Xiao to be so decisive and cruel.

She couldn't help but start to re-examine this unknown young man, thinking about the next countermeasure in her heart.

Ling Xiao looked directly at Shangguan Yu with a cynical smile, and said in a relaxed and provocative tone: "The deadline of three breaths is about to come, you keep talking, where is the prestige of your Empress Palace?"

Shangguan Yu frowned, and her face instantly became extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out.

She glared at Ling Xiao, her voice trembling a little: "You... You don't understand what you are doing at all! We are from the East China Sea Empress Palace. If you dare to hurt him, you will die without a burial place!"

However, her words were interrupted by Ling Xiao again. Ling Xiao's wrist shook, and the sword stabbed out instantly. The tip of the sword cut through the air like lightning and pierced the young man's throat accurately.

However, Ling Xiao obviously controlled the strength, and the tip of the sword was only slightly off, piercing the skin, but not penetrating into the vitals.

The moment the young man felt the tip of the sword piercing, his eyes were filled with fear and despair. He almost cried out in pain, but his throat was blocked by the sword tip, so he could only groan faintly.

He looked at Ling Xiao, his heart filled with endless fear and anger, but he was powerless to resist.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my hand was shaking, and I missed the target." Ling Xiao said lightly, as if he had just done something insignificant.

He pulled the sword out of the young man's throat, and blood spurted out instantly, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

However, Ling Xiao seemed not to smell the blood. He still smiled at Shangguan Yu, and the sword in his hand was against the young man's throat again.

He said provocatively: "Go on, Miss Shangguan. Let's see, is your Empress Palace more famous, or am I more courageous?"

Shangguan Yu looked at Ling Xiao's provocative smile and the sword in his hand, and an inexplicable chill surged in her heart.

She knew that the young man in front of her was not an ordinary warrior in the Southern Region. His strength and courage were far beyond her imagination. She couldn't help but regret her previous underestimation of the enemy and arrogance, and at the same time she also developed a deep fear and vigilance towards Ling Xiao.

But at the same time, the anger in Shangguan Yu's eyes burned even more vigorously, and the anger almost overflowed from her eyes.

However, she chose to remain silent. She knew that if she threatened Ling Xiao again, the young man would definitely kill the young man without hesitation. After all, his previous behavior had proved that he had extraordinary courage and decisiveness.

Shangguan Yu knew that the four young men who followed her to the Southern Region to train this time were all children of high-level families in the Empress Palace. Their safety was directly related to the reputation and status of the Empress Palace.

Although the East China Sea is rich in resources, there are many strong people and dangers there. In comparison, the land of the Southern Region is relatively safe and suitable for these young people to train and grow.

Shangguan Yu knew that her responsibility was heavy. If she could not guarantee the safety of these young people, she would not be able to explain to the high-level officials of the Empress Palace.

Especially the young man who was threatened by Ling Xiao with a sword. He was the one with the most prominent family background among the four. His grandfather was the great elder of the Empress Palace. He was respected and even the Empress had to be in awe of him.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yu became more anxious. She knew that if she failed to handle this incident well, she would not only lose a valuable practitioner, but also bring immeasurable losses to the Empress' Palace.

Therefore, she had to treat it with caution and find a way to protect the young man and prevent the situation from getting worse.

"Boy, you dare to be so arrogant, do you know who I am?"

The young man asked tremblingly.
