The masked assassin was impatient to destroy those letters. Therefore, regardless of the threat of Void Breaking Strike, he focused on his sword move, preparing a certain kill skill against Ling Xiao.
Strangely, he actually didn’t use an incomplete martial soul.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao had two speculations.
First, this person didn’t have an incomplete martial soul, but this was very unlikely. If this person was from the Hidden Dragon Battalion, the possibility of him having no incomplete martial soul was rather low.
Second, he didn’t dare to expose his incomplete martial soul. After all, once it was exposed, his identity would also be exposed.
Ling Xiao could only stake it all here.
Ling Xiao was very confident: with the Landscape Martial Soul’s Enter Soul State, he could completely lock onto his opponent’s position, so the probability of this mechanical artifact Void Breaking Strike hitting his opponent was above 90%.
Rose Funeral Procession from the Superior Peak Sword Technique Flower Sword!
Ling Xiao’s vision was unexpectedly filled with fluttering rose petals.
These petals quickly wrapped around him with petals whose edges were sharper than blades, even shining with a pallid light.
“Good sword technique!”
Ling Xiao admired this attack in surprise. After all, one of the biggest traits of this flower sword was its beauty.
“Humph, you have some insight. Being able to see such a beautiful scene before you die, you should be content!”
The masked assassin snorted, but his movement didn’t slow.
“Stop!”
Just when Ling Xiao was about to use Void Breaking Strike, a loud shout interupted.
Like an elephant had descended, a huge person fell in front of Ling Xiao and punched the masked assassin’s sword move.
“Shi Lei!”
“I’m sorry, Brother Ling! I came late, but don’t worry! He can’t harm you with me here!”
Shi Lei knew how to repay a favor. Since he had previously eaten Ling Xiao’s golden snow lotus, he naturally wouldn’t let Ling Xiao die here.
The opponent was very strong, but he was not weak.
Bang!
In the air, the rose petals and the giant elephant’s phantom explosively collided.
The strange thing was that the masked assassin actually turned around and fled even though he hadn’t suffered any losses.
“Where are you escaping!”
Shi Lei chased him.
“Don’t chase a cornered enemy. Dang, this guy is too impulsive!”
Seeing that Shi Lei had already rushed into the woods, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile. Although he wanted to stop Shi Lei, he had no chance.
“I should quickly recover without wasting any time to avoid falling into more danger!”
Ling Xiao didn’t return to Ling Yixue and the others since he might encounter danger along the way.
Therefore, quickly recovering was the best choice.
He ate a golden snow lotus and Gang Qi Pills, greatly increasing his recovery speed. At this moment, the gang qi in three of his martial veins had recovered. Coupled with the previous remaining one, he now had gang qi in four martial veins.
Merely, it was not so easy to convert them into true essence; he could only wait and slowly convert them later.
It was better to recover his gang qi to its peak.
However, matters developed beyond his expectations.
“This Murong Shao actually dared to come!”
With the sharp senses of his Enter Soul State, he sensed Murong Shao rushing over with eight Rank Six Martial Vein martial artists.
“Since you can’t tell good and bad, this forest will be your burial ground today.”
Ling Xiao took a deep breath and swallowed ten Gang Qi Pills.
If someone saw him eating Gang Qi Pills like beans, they would truly be envious to death.
Although Gang Qi Pills were not as valuable as low-grade spirit stones, they were still the most remarkable medicine in the Gang Qi Stage. Only a wealthy clan’s disciples would dare to consume them like this.
Five martial veins recovered!
Six martial veins recovered!
Ling Xiao opened his eyes and smiled.
Although he didn’t have a trace of true essence, it was more than enough to deal with the opponents on the level of Murong Shao.
However, he still pretended to be weak.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect you to have such a day.”
Murong Shao walked out of the forest and laughed at Ling Xiao who wore a terrified look.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted my life? Unfortunately, you will be the one to die today!”
Ling Xiao frowned and said: “Murong Shao, you and I have no hatred nor grudges; there is no need to fight to the death. Why are you so overbearing?”
Murong Shao sneered. “Wanting to deceive me? Are you treating me like a fool? For just this question alone, you should go to hell——attack!”
This person’s thoughts could also be considered rather meticulous. He immediately saw through Ling Xiao’s thoughts and waved his hand, signaling for the other eight martial artists to surround Ling Xiao and attack.
Tong Bei Fist!
Wind Returning Sword!
Mountain Cleaving Blade!
……
Various moves were used, seeking Ling Xiao’s life.
Murong Shao was quite cunning. Although he summoned his Black Bear Incomplete Soul and held a giant axe, he didn’t participate in the attack.
One Meteorite Attack!
Regardless of whether Murong Shao participated, Ling Xiao’s certain kill skill had already activated.
An arrow fitted to the bowstring cannot avoid being discharged.
Moreover, as long as he killed these eight people, a lone Murong Shao was nothing.
This One Meteorite Attack was the certain kill skill he had comprehended from <Meteorite Fist>.
After using it, Ling Xiao suddenly jumped up and punched down, resembling a huge meteorite crashing into a crowd.
A move with a terrifying attack radius, it was a certain kill skill suitable for one-against-many fights.
Boom!
As the ground exploded, flames shot everywhere. The eight people originally besieging Ling Xiao were killed on the spot.
Some were burned black; some were torn to pieces; some had their internal organs shattered.
Their deaths were all tragic.
What!
Seeing this scene, Murong Shao finally realized that he had greatly underestimated Ling Xiao. Apparently, this boy had nearly completely recovered his strength despite fighting a Martial Master.
No, run!
He knew himself. After realizing that he was not Ling Xiao’s opponent, he immediately ran away.
To increase his speed to the limit, he even used his Black Bear Incomplete Soul, transforming into a giant bear running through the forest.
His current speed was at least twice as fast as before.
“I must kill Murong Shao!”
Now, it was impossible for Ling Xiao to let Murong Shao off.
This Murong Shao had repeatedly asked for trouble with him and even tried to take advantage of his difficulties to kill him. If Murong Shao were spared under these circumstances, that would be too detrimental for Ling Xiao’s mentality.
To economize his gang qi, Ling Xiao didn’t summon the ghost ship but rather used Soaring Cloud Steps, turning into an Ice Dragon.
Even like this, his speed was still faster than Murong Shao’s. Although Murong Shao had escaped first, he would catch up to Murong Shao and kill him within the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
However, he suddenly stopped chasing Murong Shao in alarm.
Roughly a mile away from him was the great Cloud River, the largest river within White Cloud Province.
On Cloud River, ships sailed throughout the year, but most of them were ordinary sailboats or man-powered ships.
However, on this relatively remote section of the Cloud River, there was a huge mechanism ship anchored.
On this mechanism ship was a black dragon-shaped pattern.
