"Are you sure I can’t touch you? My speed isn’t as fast as yours?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
"Isn’t that the case?"
The woman in black spoke as she simultaneously released crossbow arrows from both hands.
Countless flying bolts interwove into a web of arrows, completely covering Ling Xiao.
"I wonder how many you can block!"
She looked at this scene complacently, very satisfied with her masterpiece.
Among the flying bolts shot this second time, a few had special explosion runes carved on them.
They would explode upon contact.
And the power was very terrifying.
This was what she did to enhance her destructive power.
She waited for that fool to block them, expecting to see the scene of that fool’s arm being blown off at that time.
However, the next moment, she was almost scared to death.
Ling Xiao’s figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood, vanished from her vision, and even his presence was gone.
Countless crossbow arrows lost their target and all hit the ground, mixed with horrifying explosions, directly blasting several deep pits into the floor of the arena.
The power of these crossbow arrows was evident.
But what was the point? Ling Xiao was gone, and such an attack, no matter how powerful, was a waste.
Suddenly, a crisp sound entered the audience’s ears.
Then came an astonishing scream that made everyone’s scalp tingle.
People looked in the direction of the sound and found that the woman in black’s arm was being held by Ling Xiao, now hanging down.
Obviously, the bone was directly crushed.
This scene was like a heavy slap in the face for everyone, making those who judged Ling Xiao would definitely lose feel their faces burning hot.
"Playing with speed in front of me is truly ignorant. Haven’t you heard that a Body Refining Martial Artist relies on the body’s toughness and explosive power?
Without speed, how could I survive?"
Ling Xiao stood beside the woman in black, looking at her with a hint of a smile: "I told you before, you should concede."
This voice sounded like deep mockery in the ears of the audience.
They had just heard Ling Xiao telling this woman to concede and thought Ling Xiao was crazy.
But at this moment, they suddenly realized it wasn’t Ling Xiao who was crazy; it was they who lacked insight.
"Alright, I won’t kill you because you’re truly not worth it."
Ling Xiao casually tossed aside the woman in black’s hand and walked towards the platform where the woman in black had stood before.
The woman in black looked at Ling Xiao’s back, her teeth grinding loudly.
She mocked Ling Xiao for being unable to touch her.
But now, she had been left in front of her most proud mobility.
This humiliation was unbearable for her.
Suddenly, the woman in black roared, her body turning into a black light, her speed reaching its peak.
In everyone’s eyes, her body was no longer visible, only that ghostly black light.
However, Ling Xiao did not turn around.
He didn’t even bother to glance at this woman.
"I gave you a chance, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
He suddenly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
In mid-air, the rapidly advancing woman in black suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground.
"You! You! How is this possible!"
Only the woman in black knew what kind of attack she had suffered.
A very terrifying Soul Power!
Directly capable of destroying her soul!
She couldn’t understand how a Body Refining Martial Artist could possess such terrifying Soul Power. It was illogical.
But such a question, she would never know the answer to.
She had tried to sneak attack Ling Xiao from behind, which ultimately led him to decide to kill her.
After twitching twice on the ground, the woman in black finally ran out of breath.
This was when Ling Xiao turned back to take a glance, shook his head, and said, "Why bother? I had already decided not to kill you."
Ling Xiao indeed hadn’t planned on killing the woman in black, although he detested the aura surrounding her, there was no enmity, unlike Prince White Horse.
But this woman insisted on courting death by attempting a sneak attack from behind, so it was no longer his fault.
At this point, all eleven candidates were chosen.
The Heavenly Dynasty Empire took seven seats, which was unexpected.
Of course, the most attention-grabbing was still Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao consecutively defeated two strong opponents, elevating him to a status comparable to the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea.
From then on, no audience dared to underestimate him.
However, many Martial Artists from the Tianhai Empire were familiar with each other, except for this kid, who had a highly mysterious background, raising suspicions.
But such a powerful person must have some backing, best not to provoke casually.
Many people thought to themselves.
Whether they could bully Ling Xiao or not, even if they could, who could afford to provoke those behind him?
"Alright, today’s selection ends here. Besides the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea, you eleven will represent the Tianhai Empire in the White Tiger Summit.
The White Tiger Summit is a major competition on the entire White Tiger Continent.
It’s a top-level honor battle that only martial artists under thirty can participate in, so take heed not to disgrace yourselves or the Tianhai Empire!"
Prince Wu stood up and announced loudly.
Ling Xiao looked indifferently at this Prince Wu, amused, wondering what expression he would have if he knew he was Ling Xiao. Fresh chapters posted on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Dan Feng, Liu Lian, Joshua Long, Ji Luoyu, Fengming Lian, Leng Mei, Mo Yu, Zhu Shao Cong, Little Dot, Lan Xue, and you, what is your name?"
The rest had first-hand information from Prince Wu, except Ling Xiao, who he didn’t recognize or know where he came from.
Hearing Prince Wu’s question, the audience curiously looked at Ling Xiao because everyone wanted to know this person’s name and background.
"Does Your Highness the Prince truly not know who I am?"
Ling Xiao’s face broke into a brilliant smile.
Now that he was officially a participant, according to the rules, the Tianhai Empire would provide tight protection for them.
So he had nothing to fear; revealing his true identity wasn’t a big deal.
Moreover, if he didn’t reveal it, his enemies would vent their anger on his friends.
If it were just himself, he could play dead until after the White Tiger Summit.
Prince Wu was stunned for a moment, his face stiffening.
He truly hadn’t seen such a person before, how could he know who the other was?
"Hahaha, Your Highness the Prince is quite forgetful, you truly don’t recognize me as Ling Xiao?"
"Did he just say he is Ling Xiao?"
"The Heavenly Emperor Ling Xiao from the Heavenly Dynasty Empire?"
"Impossible, wasn’t he said to be dead?"
The crowd suddenly burst into chatter, and the noise filled the air.
Even though Ling Xiao hadn’t been in the Tianhai Empire for long, what he did was too shocking, making him very famous.
