Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 2540 - 2543: Nine Serpents General and Leng Yuejiang

"Lucky. Collect!"

Ling Xiao flicked his hand, and that Thunder Flame Mango Tree was uprooted from the thick earth, then behind him a huge black hole appeared.

The fruit tree slowly drifted toward it.

Right at this moment, an enraged shout rang out.

"Bold thieves, stop at once!"

The voice was still far away, but it was incredibly loud.

Ling Xiao could see two figures rushing over from the distance at extreme speed, their strength also terrifyingly strong.

Both of them were actually at the First Transformation of Yin-Yang Realm, Sixth Layer Hell Peak.

But they definitely were not contestants who had entered the trial.

Ling Xiao naturally wasn’t going to stop what he was doing just because of one angry roar.

This Thunder Flame Mango Tree would help him tremendously—not only could it boost his Thunder and Lightning combat power, it could also enhance his Magma Power; who knew, his Lava Battle Body might even be upgraded because of it.

How could he possibly give it up.

Before the other side arrived, he forcibly sent this Thunder Flame Mango Tree into the Mountain and River World.

Once that towering tree entered the Mountain and River World, its growth would not slow; on the contrary, due to the special effects of the Mountain and River World, its growth speed could increase by a hundredfold.

This could provide Ling Xiao with an enormous amount of Alchemy materials.

On top of that, both the Thunder Flame Mango and the Blood Spirit Fruit tasted excellent; the former was sweet and sour, but never cloying.

The latter was even more fragrant and sweet to eat.

They could be used as snacks in daily life to fill that empty stomach a bit.

"You little punk, you’re courting death!"

Seeing that Ling Xiao actually ignored their shout and kept going, the newcomers were furious.

They attacked simultaneously, striking toward Ling Xiao with lightning-fast speed.

There had been no warning.

But Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang had a rare tacit understanding with Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao threw out a punch and blocked one of them.

But because it was a bit rushed, he was blasted back dozens of steps, smashing many trees to pieces.

Yue Shang and Lin Ruoxian working together also blocked the other person’s attack.

Relying on their Magical Treasures, although their Cultivation Level was inferior, they weren’t too miserable.

Even though they were forced back hundreds of steps, at least they weren’t too badly injured.

The two who had launched the sneak attack apparently hadn’t expected that this strike would fail to kill these brazen bastards.

So they actually halted their assault, looking a bit surprised.

At this moment, Ling Xiao also clearly saw their faces.

No—it really couldn’t be called "human."

One of them had an incomparably tall figure, a full four or five meters high, with nine snake heads on his back, tongues flicking, terrifying to the extreme.

His entire body, apart from his face, was covered in snake scales; one glance told you he was a brutal type.

The other was a female.

She was also humanoid, but on her forehead was a crescent-shaped mark, and behind her grew a pair of wings that emitted a gentle moonlight.

In her hand she carried a crescent-shaped shovel-blade.

Between her legs she rode a white Demon Tiger; the Demon Tiger’s strength had actually reached One-star Yin-Yang Realm Sixth Layer Hell early stage.

"Sure enough, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

Ling Xiao frowned slightly.

The two of them, plus that white Fierce Tiger, were all big trouble.

If there was only one, he could still handle it, but two really gave him a bit of a headache.

Three was even more troublesome.

This was probably more difficult than Chen Beixuan plus Dawn Wind Moon.

"You two be careful, don’t go head-on with them. Just delay them. Once the fight starts, I’ll kill one as fast as I can, then come help you."

Although he felt it was troublesome, Ling Xiao wasn’t someone who gave up easily.

Whether it was the Thunder Flame Mango Tree or the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree, there was no way he’d hand them back.

So this battle was naturally inevitable.

Fortunately his Cultivation Level was not weak, his strength even stronger; he was definitely not some fish laid out on their chopping board.

If it really came down to it, he could draw on the Butterfly Girl’s power as well.

Though for now, there was no need.

Only real, solid combat could promote the growth of his strength; this had always been Ling Xiao’s style.

He didn’t like calling the Butterfly Girl for help every time he met a little trouble—that would honestly be kind of embarrassing.

"You two, we have no grudge with you. For you to suddenly attack like that, isn’t it a bit too abrupt?"

Of course, if he could avoid fighting, Ling Xiao didn’t want to waste time here either.

He could feel that the Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor’s inheritance was not far away.

The fellow with nine snake heads on his back said arrogantly, "Ants, put down the Thunder Flame Mango Tree and the Blood Spirit Fruit Tree.

We can let you crawl away, otherwise don’t blame us for being ruthless.

Crushing you ants underfoot is something I enjoy!"

"And why should I?"

Ling Xiao shot back.

"Because we are the Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor’s Nine Serpents General and Lneg Yuejiang!

All these things belong to the Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor!"

The Nine Serpents General said coldly.

"Funny. The Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor himself barged into the Bull God Labyrinth and got trapped here. If anything, these things should belong to the Bull God. What does he have to do with them?"

Ling Xiao sneered.

"So you’re saying you’re not handing them over?"

The Nine Serpents General’s expression turned gloomy.

"And what if I don’t? Unless your Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor comes back to life, just the two of you—I’m not afraid in the slightest."

Ling Xiao said with disdain.

"Hmph, though our strength hasn’t yet recovered to our former Pinnacle, which was the terrifying First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm, Eighteen Layers of Hell Peak,

dealing with you three ants is more than enough!

If you don’t want to die, you’d better behave. Otherwise you’ll regret it!"

The Nine Serpents General snorted coldly.

"Nine Serpents, stop wasting words with them. Just kill them. We can use their Qi-Blood to restore our Cultivation Level."

Lneg Yuejiang suddenly spoke from the side.

"Fine!"

The Nine Serpents General indeed stopped talking nonsense with Ling Xiao, turned to Lneg Yuejiang and said, "That kid is mine.

Those two women are yours. No problem, right?"

Lneg Yuejiang chuckled. "Piece of cake. As for you, be careful. That kid’s a bit weird. He’s not as strong as you, but don’t trip in the gutter."

"Ridiculous. Killing him is as easy as flipping my hand!"

The Nine Serpents General suddenly bent his legs.

Whoosh!

His body vanished from where he stood. At that speed, if you lacked dynamic vision, you truly couldn’t see him at all.

"You two, remember what I said—stall them!"

With that, Ling Xiao stopped talking and directly drew the Dark Immortal Sword.

He could feel that the strength of this Nine Serpents General was probably not inferior to Chen Beixuan and Lin Yuetian.

It was worth him using the Dark Immortal Sword.

On the other side, Lin Ruoxian and Yue Shang had also engaged Lneg Yuejiang.

Though their Cultivation Level was inferior, their teamwork was seamless, and combined with two prankish Magical Treasures,

for the moment they actually weren’t at a disadvantage.

"Kid, you’re far from enough. Better surrender obediently!"

One of the snake heads bit down directly on Ling Xiao’s Dark Immortal Sword; the Nine Serpents General revealed a mocking expression.

It wasn’t forced disdain, but more like a god’s contempt for mortals.

Which wasn’t surprising.

He had once served under the Heavenly Thunder Saint Emperor, and his Cultivation Level had reached the frightening First Transformation Yin-Yang Realm Eighteen Layers of Hell.

How could he possibly take an ant like Ling Xiao seriously?

The fact that he was even fighting meant he already thought quite highly of Ling Xiao.
