Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul-Chapter 534 - The Final Path_1

Especially Wu Yang and Qin Wu, they were not without the thought of avenging their deceased brothers, but they had never found the opportunity.

They originally thought Ling Xiao might get injured in the second challenge, which would give them a chance to strike.

Yet, not only did he not get injured, his cultivation level had significantly increased.

The situation was getting worse and worse; they no longer had time to delay.

“We can’t wait any longer!

We must take action even if there’s the slightest chance!”

Wu Yang and Qin Wu exchanged glances, both simultaneously coming up with the same idea.

“This kid is too crafty, we really need to figure something out.

We absolutely must get that item!”

Tantai Lingzi also secretly made up her mind.

She had no feud with Ling Xiao, but she coveted an item Ling Xiao possessed, and the only way to get it was by killing him.

The usually composed her was now starting to get anxious.

After all, Ling Xiao’s breakthrough was too frightening — she had to act swiftly if she were to make her move.

Gold Feifei had a gloomy look on her face.

She had a weakness that Ling Xiao knew about, so she didn’t dare to act rashly.

But now, she too felt an urge to act; if she let Ling Xiao continue to develop like this, the gap between them would only shrink.

Probably even without relying on array formations, he would be able to defeat her in the future.

That would be very bad.

From her combat experience with Ling Xiao, she strongly sensed that someone like him must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise he would definitely become a hard bone to chew.

This guy was like a little tiger, and if they didn’t kill it before it grew up, once it became a Fierce Tiger, they would be unable to defeat it.

“I just had some good luck, so I broke through without even realizing it, but it’s really nothing.”

Ling Xiao smiled faintly.

These words, though, were not entirely false — in truth, the longer one persisted inside the Moon Blossom Pagoda, the greater the rewards.

Including the yet-to-appear Wang Nan, the remaining eleven people all made progress in their cultivation and strength to varying degrees, it was just that Ling Xiao’s progress was the most terrifying.

The next three were Leng Hao, Shangguan Lei, and Dai Yuling.

Then came Gold Feifei, Tantai Lingzi, and others.

“Hmph, who knows how many treasures you’ve hoarded all to yourself.

I really suspect someone’s been secretly helping you.”

Gold Feifei snorted coldly and stopped talking.

She still forcefully suppressed her anger and shelved the idea of fighting Ling Xiao to the death.

Through the trials of the Moon Blossom Pagoda, her strength had also improved, even though it wasn’t as rapid as Ling Xiao’s.

But this was only the second level; she planned to wait until Ling Xiao had “fattened up” before taking him out.

After all, she didn’t believe that Ling Xiao could possibly ascend to a Half-step Celestial within the Moon Blossom Pagoda, could he?

“I don’t know what everyone thinks of my suggestion, but let’s not split up anymore.

Let’s push forward with all our might and break out of this monster nest!”

Ling Xiao didn’t care whether someone was a foe or an ally; as long as they could be of use for the time being, he’d use them.

After all, the guardian ahead wasn’t something he could deal with alone.

“I agree!”

Tantai Lingzi thought for a moment and said, “But we must have a detailed plan.

We also need to scout the monster nest for specifics, otherwise, it’d be no different from a suicide mission.”

Just then, Wang Nan appeared silently not far from them and, upon approaching, stood aside, maintaining a very low profile.

The others didn’t pay much attention to this Wang Nan, as he was the only one without any backing, and his strength seemed to be the weakest for now.

However, Ling Xiao glanced at Wang Nan, and his expression slightly changed.

Wang Nan’s cultivation level was merely at the Transcendent Realm Third Layer, comparable to Dai Yuling before her breakthrough.

There were no signs that he had achieved a breakthrough either.

Yet there wasn’t a single sign of injury on him.

That was too bizarre.

Could it be that this fellow was hiding his strength?

Ling Xiao would not underestimate anyone.

He himself had a template for hiding his strength; why couldn’t others possess similar secret techniques?

“This Wang Nan, we must be wary of him!”

Ling Xiao quietly transmitted his thoughts to Leng Hao, Dai Yuling, and Shangguan Lei, reminding them to stay as far away from Wang Nan as possible and not to disclose this matter.

Although these three were utterly puzzled, they still accepted Ling Xiao’s advice.

After making arrangements regarding Wang Nan, Ling Xiao continued the previous topic:

“Senior Sister Tantai, as for the situation in the monster nest, I’ve already scouted it out just now.

Inside, there are poisonous snakes, bloodsucking bats, straw puppets, netherworld wolves, and grey skeletons – a total of five types of monsters with strengths ranging between Level 1 Dangerous Beasts and Level 5 Dangerous Beasts, and their numbers are around five thousand!

In addition, there’s the Golden Inch Snake King, the Bloodsucking Bat King, the Straw Puppet King, the Netherworld Wolf King, and the Skeleton King.

They are all Seventh-level to Eighth-level Dangerous Beasts.

Of course, the most formidable is the guardian ‘Five-faced Monster.’ Its strength is incredibly terrifying.

It’s a Half-step Celestial with ninety percent of its power stored, much stronger than Senior Sister Bai.”

“What!”

The crowd was shocked upon hearing his words.

Not to mention the ordinary monsters, which were enough to leave people in a tight spot – there were also five King Level beasts, plus the powerful guardian.

This was enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle.

Later, with the information Ling Xiao provided, everyone discussed and eventually developed three strategies: upper, middle, and lower.

Upper strategy: Bai Feifei would distract the guardian, while the outstanding in body movement technique Ling Xiao and Tantai Lingzi would be responsible for stealing the treasure chest.

Wu Yang, Qin Wu, and others would deal with the remaining monsters.

They didn’t need to hold out for long, just grab the stuff and run;

Middle strategy: Forget about grabbing anything.

Everyone would use all their strength to cut a bloody path out.

With the current strength of these eleven people, getting out should be feasible, as long as they didn’t engage in prolonged battle;

Lower strategy: This was the most reluctant choice — whoever had the ability would escape on their own, with no assistance from others.

Of course, given the choice, the rest were willing to opt for the upper strategy, but there was one person who disagreed, and that was Bai Feifei.

She adamantly refused to take on the guardian.

If she didn’t agree to cooperate, then the upper strategy would fall apart.

As for the middle strategy, it was probably not very feasible.

With everyone harboring their own motives, the idea of uniting to charge through was nothing but a fantasy.
