Hearing Ling Xiao claim he would defeat Li Xinghui within six moves, Lin Ze shook his head and sighed.
General Ninth Month smiled bitterly and said, “Ling Xiao is still too young, so he is rather impulsive. It’s truly not worthwhile. If he can’t win within six moves, will he truly commit suicide? That’s not worth it.”
“As I see it, that’s not necessarily the case.”
Ling Yixue’s cold eyes were filled with confidence. She had been together with Ling Xiao since Heavenly Peak City, so she knew Ling Xiao far better than the others.
General Ninth Month couldn’t help but shake his head. “Lady Yixue, do you truly think that Ling Xiao can defeat Li Xinghui within six moves?
That’s very unlikely!
Although I’m not happy to say this, Li Xinghui should be a lot stronger than Shi Lei and Hua Nongying from our Hidden Dragon Battalion!
If I remember correctly, didn’t Ling Xiao use fifty moves to defeat Hua Nongying?”
Ling Yixue didn’t reply with anything beyond a hint of a smile.
When Ling Xiao had fought Hua Nongying, he had simply been training himself. Otherwise, that battle would have ended within ten moves.
The current Ling Xiao was more than twice as strong since he had been then.
No one was optimistic about Ling Xiao.
Including the geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Battalion, everyone shook their heads, thinking he was a bit too arrogant.
Usually, he was a calm and composed person, so why did he act out of character today?
At Heavenly Ren Academy’s side, Fei Yu and Fei Liu sneered.
They had planned to avenge Fei Mu and Fei Yun, but they had never expected Ling Xiao to be so stupid. It seemed that this idiot would commit suicide today.
This kind of death was not only stupid but also embarrassing. He would become the biggest joke in the world.
Lu Xing who had fought against Ling Xiao before also muttered: “He’s truly acting recklessly!”
He had exchange pointers with both Ling Xiao and Li Xinghui. Therefore, he was clear about their relative strengths. In his opinion, Ling Xiao might be able to defeat Li Xinghui… but in six moves?
That was too arrogant.
Within the Hidden Dragon Battalion, Shi Lei and the others truly hoped that Ling Xiao would defeat Li Xinghui within six moves. After all, Li Xinghui had been too offensive: not putting the Hidden Dragon Battalion in his eyes.
However, even they thought that it was unlikely.
“Arrogant and presumptuous!”
Li Xinghui roared, and his clothes fluttered despite the lack of wind.
A clear white tiger phantom appeared behind him as a white radiance burst out from his body.
When he moved his legs, a crack appeared on the solid rocky cliff as he rushed forward like an apex predator.
His hands resembling tiger claws grabbed the air.
Kacha!
Silverish-white light claws flew out of his hands and expanded four or five times to cover Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao simply stood there without any intention of dodging.
Then, his originally mediocre aura turned fierce.
The phantom of the Blood Blade Ancestor appeared behind him. Clearer than before, this ancestor’s eyes were full of devilish charm.
At a glance, anyone could tell that he was no ordinary person.
“My God, their incomplete martial souls have actually both reached 70%! They’re evenly matched!”
Exclaims resounded from the crowd.
Ling Xiao had to admit that Li Xinghui’s progress had been quite fast. In Heavenly Peak City, his incomplete martial soul was just 10%, but now, it had already reached 70%.
Merely, it seemed that his incomplete martial soul was not that stable, so Ling Xiao surmised that some drugs must have been used to forcibly upgrade it.
After all, as White Cloud Province’s Governor, Wan Ben had more resources than Lin Ze did, not to mention that he was also backed by the Ren and Blue-Eyed Races.
At this moment, Ling Xiao didn’t care about the onlookers’ shouts.
Ice Glaze Sword emerged from his sheath, and waves of terrifying sword qi gushed out. He seemed to have transformed into a sharp sword that continuously accumulated strength waiting to erupt with terrifying power.
“First move!”
Ling Xiao thrust his sword forward.
In the midst of the clamor, his sword erratically wavered; his figure was like a ghost, exceeding common sense.
Riiiiip~~
Those silverish-white tiger claws directly caught Ling Xiao, but it was only an afterimage.
Bang!
Behind this fleeting phantom, a huge boulder was smashed to pieces, revealing the terrifying power behind Li Xinghui’s tiger claws.
However, Ling Xiao’s sword had already struck towards Li Xinghui’s heart from a strange angle.
Since this was a life and death battle, Ling Xiao had no intention of showing mercy.
Being merciful in such a battle would be purely courting death.
After all, Li Xinghui still had the ability to kill him if he made a huge mistake.
“How can this sword technique be so strange?”
Li Xinghui had never imagined that there could be such a terrifying and strange sword move in this world.
It was obvious that he had taken the initiative to attack and been about to maul Ling Xiao, but the situation had flipped: Ling Xiao had instead seized the opportunity, and Li Xinghui had fallen into a passive position.
However, he didn’t have any time to be surprised.
Danger was right in front of him, so he crazily circulated his true essence.
“Amethyst Divine Technique!”
With a shout, his true essence quickly gathered in front of his chest, condensing into a crystal shield.
A thick and solid rhombus, it appeared more firm than true essence and certainly offered a formidable defense.
Simultaneously, a purple aura covered Li Xinghui’s entire body, the effect of Amethyst Divine Technique.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao just showed a disdainful smile, and the Ice Glaze Sword in his hand didn’t change direction.
Instead, he condensed even more snow lotus true essence into this sword, making it even more terrifying.
Chi!
That seemingly thick amethyst shield had no effect at all, shattering like glass.
“Impossible! How can that amethyst shield break!”
Wan Ben was so agitated that he actually couldn’t help but break a boulder beside him with a palm.
The boulder’s shards flew everywhere, and those disciples of Heavenly Ren Academy around him hastily retreated in fear, but quite a few were still hit, leaving behind bloody wounds.
It was not a surprise for Wan Ben to lose control.
After all, Amethyst Divine Technique was one of the Superior Peak Defensive Martial Arts of Heavenly Ren Academy!
It could be said that it could resist even Quasi-Transcendent Martial Skills, so it was impossible for a same realm martial artist to break it in a short time.
However, Ling Xiao, an Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, actually broke through the pride of Heavenly Ren Academy with a single sword move.
“His true essence should have already reached the quasi-transcendent level!”
White Cloud Temple Master Yiran Zhenren, who could be regarded as a bystander, whispered in Wan Ben’s bear. Those stone pieces naturally hadn’t posed any threat to him, so he hadn’t move at all.
“Quasi-transcendent true essence? This kid actually cultivated a Quasi-Transcendent Internal Core Law?”
Wan Ben commented in surprise.
Heavenly Ren Academy also possessed Quasi-Transcendent Internal Core Laws, but whether anyone could cultivate them was another question.
To cultivate a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art, if one’s aptitude hadn’t reached peak ordinary body, the possibility of failure was very high. One might even have a qi deviation.
Even with a peak ordinary body, it was not easy to comprehend a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art.
