With Zuo Leng as an opponent, Ling Xiao didn’t dare to be careless. This Thunderbolt True Essence originated from White Cloud Great Master, but after being transformed by the Landscape Martial Soul, it was not exactly the same and nearly unrecognizable.
Therefore, even White Cloud Great Master didn’t have a big reaction upon seeing it. At most, he was a bit surprised.
Boom!
A palm and a fist, both wrapped in purplish lightning, collided.
Then, the electric currents discharged everywhere.
On Life and Death Cliff, huge rocks shattered one after another, and the rubble flew everywhere like a meteor shower.
Even the mountain violently shook, and everyone present moved away except Ming Tian and White Cloud Great Master.
After the exchange, they two retreated practically simultaneously.
Then, they stopped together and stabilized their figures.
“So strong! Both of them are so strong!”
“It can be seen that Zuo Leng’s palm was stronger, but Ling Xiao’s fist was more subtle, which actually made a part of Zuo Leng’s power discharge in empty air without posing any threat to him. As a result, their power was evenly matched in the collision.”
White Cloud Great Master’s insight was truly good. He could see the crux of the current situation at a glance.
“At this moment, it looks like they are evenly matched. However, Zuo Leng’s attack must have just been a probing attack.”
“Yes, he is a most cautious person. It is very unlikely for him to display his full strength immediately. Ling Xiao’s suffering has yet to come.”
“That should be the case.”
The other people were also making comments in a low voice. However, it was obvious that they thought that Zuo Leng had held back in this attack while Ling Xiao had already used his full strength.
In the end, they still didn’t believe in Ling Xiao’s strength.
However, it was normal.
This was a battle between an Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein and an Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein. Other than Zuo Leng holding back, they couldn’t think of any other reason for the near stalemate.
After stabilizing himself, Zuo Leng immediately looked at Ling Xiao with great surprise.
He was somewhat embarrassed.
Originally, he had thought that he could easily defeat Ling Xiao with an ordinary attack by relying on his cultivation base of Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein.
But he was a cautious person. Therefore, he had intentionally used the perfection realm defensive martial art to turn Ling Xiao into ashes with just one palm so as to avoid a long delay.
One should know that his palm was enough to kill a rank nine demonic beast without a problem.
Could it be that this kid Ling Xiao is not only outstanding in swordsmanship, but his body is also so strong?
If that is the case, this kid is too monstrous.
Perhaps, Master truly missed him.
Naturally, the stronger Ling Xiao was, the more Zuo Leng wanted to kill him!
He didn’t want to be counter-killed like Li Xinghui. He absolutely must not let Ling Xiao mature. Otherwise, he felt that he could only flee for his life upon encountering Ling Xiao in the future.
“Humph, I want to see how long your golden skin can last!”
Zuo Leng initiated an attack again.
But this time, instead of using a palm attack, he used a treasured sword wrapped in electricity.
The purplish-blue treasured sword turned into sword shadows, each a killer move!
Every sword move was fierce.
Ling Xiao knew that the treasured sword in Zuo Leng’s hands was an excellent grade treasured artifact, the same as his Floating Snow Sword.
However, even when facing such a fierce attack, he still had no intention of using a weapon.
Although this was a life-or-death battle, once he activated Enter Soul State, there would be no surprises for him.
It was not worthwhile for him to use a weapon.
After all, Zuo Leng had still concealed his strength. There was no need for him to display his full power and waste his true essence.
One side used a sword, and the other side used his fists. On Life and Death Cliff, they actually exchanged no less than fifty moves.
After fifty moves, Zuo Leng was obviously a bit impatient.
He suddenly stepped back and with a grin, he shouted: “You are very strong, but you will still die today!”
At this moment, Zuo Leng actually completely gave up on defending and began to use almost 80% of his true essence to attack.
Perhaps, in Zuo Leng’s eyes, there was no need to defend himself with the defensive might of Heavenly Illuminating Flame Armor.
Once he gave up on defending himself, Zuo Leng’s attack speed instantly increased. Moreover, his moves became more aggressive.
If Ling Xiao chose to continue his delicate balance of defense and offense, he would definitely suffer this time. With the opponent’s attack speed and fierceness, coupled with his powerful true essence at Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein, it would definitely inflict a lot of damage.
If he chose to focus on defense, he would fall into a passive state.
Besides, that was not his fighting style.
After thinking about it, Ling Xiao completely gave up concealing his strength.
His aura instantly soared to Late Rank Eight Martial Vein!
Then, he also gave up defending. He used all his true essence to attack. His fists wrapped in lighting blasted out again and again.
Clang!
Bang!
Zuo Leng’s sword hit Ling Xiao’s body!
Unexpectedly, a few sparks flew out, but there was no other effect.
Ling Xiao’s fist also hit Zuo Leng’s body, making a loud sound, but it too had no lasting effect.
Zuo Leng sneered. Not only did he not pull back his sword, but his attacks also became fiercer and fiercer.
In any case, he knew that Ling Xiao couldn’t injure him. Since that was the case, what was he afraid of?
Now, it depended on whose body would collapse first.
Clang, clang, bang, bang…
A period of time.
Ling Xiao and Zuo Leng actually didn’t dodge, simply brawling it out with each other.
Neither of them knew how many times they had been attacked. Almost every inch of their bodies had been struck.
Zuo Leng’s sword had even hit Ling Xiao’s throat several times.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao’s fists had also hit Zuo Leng’s head several times.
The onlooking crowd couldn’t believe what they were seeing. This kind of insane fighting style was not something anyone dared to try.
Neither defended nor dodged.
They simply attacked each other; this scene was truly strange.
“Two lunatics! I don’t want to fight either!”
“Yes, their defenses are too terrifying. I guess, even if our attacks hit them, it would be no different from a tickle.”
“Zuo Leng cultivates Heavenly Illumination Black Flame Divine Art, but what kind of martial art does Ling Xiao cultivate? How come it looks like he is not any inferior to Zuo Leng?”
“Who knows, but it is definitely not <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>!”
“This kid has so many secrets. It’s not easy to mess with him.”
Upon seeing this, even White Cloud Great Master regretted it a bit.
Ling Xiao’s performance was completely beyond his expectations.
His current thoughts were focused on how to avoid losing face while preserving boths’ lives. , If Ling Xiao truly died like this, it would be a loss.
“Alas, if I had just stopped them from coming to Life and Death Cliff, it would have been great.”
He sighed, but he didn’t make a move to stop this fight. He just felt pity for Ling Xiao. His feeling hadn’t reached the point where he had to protect Ling Xiao.
If Zuo Leng or Ming Tian had encountered such danger, he would have definitely saved them.
Another fifty moves were exchanged.
After a hundred moves, Zuo Leng was obviously more impatient.
After being unable to deal with Ling Xiao with his cultivation base of Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein for such a long time, the anger in his heart surged further.
Ling Xiao’s defense truly exceeded his expectations. It seemed that the grade of the other party’s defense martial art was not any lower than his own.
It didn’t make much sense to continue like this.
