What worried Zuo Leng even more was that his true essence was being consumed very quickly. However, the other party seemed to still have a lot left, and there was actually a smile on his face.
This forced him to change his strategy. He intended to decide the outcome with one blow so as to prevent trouble.
“Black Sun Burst!”
Zuo Leng suddenly retreated, and the electric current around his sword disappeared, to be replaced by black flames.
As he retreated, he lightly touched a rock, then he rushed forward faster than before as if he were rebounding.
“After playing around for so long, this is my real move.”
“Come on!”
Ling Xiao suddenly drew out his Floating Snow Sword and thrust it forward.
Giant Spirit Kill!
At that instant, the surrounding vitality seemed to be instantly absorbed by his Giant Sword Incomplete Soul, and it was all completely integrated into this sword move.
Boom!
The two swords had yet to come into contact, but their terrifying true essences had already collided.
This was the first time Giant Spirit Kill had been blocked so easily.
In the air, snow-white true and blackish-red true essence continuously collided, making unpleasant crackles.
Whoosh!
Ling Xiao fell back rapidly, instantly opening a distance of ten steps.
He had lost to Zuo Leng in this attack.
Zuo Leng had raised his true essence output to over 90%, close to 100%.
In this situation, the advantage of his cultivation base was seen.
The sword attacks continued. Zuo Leng wouldn’t hold back. He chased after Ling Xiao like a shadow, and his sword covered in black flames shook again and shot straight at Ling Xiao.
Giant Spirit Kill was not the match of the other party because his martial soul was inferior.
Ling Xiao made a judgment as he retreated.
Since that was the case, he decided to use a complete martial soul!
In an instant, his Giant Sword Incomplete Soul disappeared and was replaced by a clearer Blood Shadow Martial Soul!
This was Ling Xiao’s highest grade martial soul. It was a second grade complete soul——Incorporeal.
Blood Blade Shadow King Kill!
A sword slashed, and bloody light danced in the air.
Ling Xiao actually became indistinct.
Ding!
This sword just happened to hit the weakest point of Zuo Leng’s sword move, finally blocking his continuous attacks.
But even like that, Zuo Leng didn’t receive any damage.
Both sides were still in a stalemate.
“Black Sun Burst Sword, however, is a Quasi-Transcendent Sword Technique combined with Heavenly Illumination Black Flame Divine Art! Its might was not inferior to some Entry Transcendent Martial Arts!”
“Yes, this sword move contains Heavenly Illumination Divine Flame. Its might is very overbearing, but Ling Xiao can actually block it!”
“He can block it because of his skills; otherwise, his sword move would have failed!”
White Cloud Great Master’s voice resounded. He truly was disappointed with Ling Xiao’s obsession in improving his skills.
Perhaps, it was because of this that he disliked Ling Xiao.
“I’ll see how you will withstand this move!”
Zuo Leng jumped back again.
Then, the Ren Spirit behind him actually took out a strange big bow.
That excellent grade treasured sword wrapped in black flame in Zuo Leng’s hands was actually used as the arrow.
Now, Zuo Leng had also determined that his might was absolutely greater than Ling Xiao’s. Ling Xiao was just using skills to cope with him.
Therefore, he had to use a move, of which even Ling Xiao couldn’t see its flaws.
He was preparing his Transcendent Martial Technique.
The terrifying power directly locked onto Ling Xiao, and the terrifying pressure was continuously exerted on him.
This made Ling Xiao feel like he truly wouldn’t be able to dodge or block this move through just pure skill.
Only head-on confrontation!
Boom!
The mountain shook violently again. That sword actually broke through the void and directly shot at Ling Xiao.
Heavenly Illumination Divine Arrow!
Ling Xiao had encountered many opponents before, but it was the first time he had had to face such a troublesome move.
However, he was not surprised.
How could a disciple fancied by White Cloud Great Master not have any strength?
Besides Zuo Leng had already cultivated to Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein while his cultivation was just Late Rank Eight Martial Vein.
However, even like this, he never thought that he would lose!
Wasn’t that a Transcendent Martial Technique? He also had one!
These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and he had already decided what to do next.
He held his Floating Snow Sword and pointed it at Zuo Leng.
Without any tricks, he gently thrust it forward.
Swish!
No one could fathom the speed of this sword!
When they had just discerned the slight shaking of Ling Xiao’s hand, the sword light had already shot out.
That sword light was condensed with a terrifying amount of Snow Lotus True Essence. It actually froze the air along its path.
It turned into a white light that was undistinguishable to the naked eyes and directly split the black flame into two.
Not only that, but the black flame seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. It actually froze into an ice cube and fell to the ground.
Puff!
A red dot appeared on Zuo Leng’s forehead!
A hint of blood oozed out!
He wasn’t even able to react!
The combination of Snow Lotus Sword Art and Snow Lotus True Essence was simply a perfect combination.
This was also why Ling Xiao had used Snow Lotus True Essence even though he had higher grade true essences.
“What kind of sword technique is that? How can it be so fast? And so powerful?”
After this sword move, silence reigned on Life and Death Cliff.
Only after a while did someone exclaim.
White Cloud Great Master had already rushed over, wanting to do everything possible to save Zuo Leng’s life.
Just a moment ago, even he had been unable to react to Ling Xiao’s sword move, which showed how terrifying that move’s speed was.
“You actually killed him!”
White Cloud Great Master rolled about for a long time, but there was no effect.
Zuo Leng had no more breath. That sword move was not as simple as just piercing through the head: it had directly destroyed even his soul.
Even a celestial being couldn’t save him, let alone White Cloud Great Master who was just a Transcendent Martial Artist.
In his anger, White Cloud Great Master’s terrifying aura surged, making people around him deathly pale.
Ling Xiao was the person to bear the worst of the brunt, but he didn’t want to eat this hidden loss. Therefore, he had already used <Cloud Dragon Divine Walk>, opening a distance of more than ten feet from White Cloud Great Master.
He knew this old man very well: this old man was very partial.
Even though this had been a life and death battle, since he had killed Zuo Leng, this old man would definitely go all out.
Therefore, he wouldn’t foolishly stand on the same spot and wait for death.
In terms of speed, White Cloud Great Master might be a lot faster than him, but he had the Blood Shadow Martial Soul, so he could dodge easily while escaping.
As long as there was enough distance between them, he was not afraid of this old man ruthlessly unleashing a killer move.
“Yes, this disciple killed him, but this is Life and Death Cliff. Life and death are ruled by fate here. Could it be that Teacher still wants to avenge him?”
Ling Xiao didn’t feel well in his heart, so his words were rather rude.
“Ling Xiao, don’t pour oil on the flames!”
Dai Yuling was anxious. She and Ling Xiao could be considered friends. She was unwilling to see White Cloud Great Master kill Ling Xiao in anger.
“Let him speak!”
White Cloud Great Master’s beard trembled in fury.
Ming Tian and Zuo Leng were his most favorite disciples. Now, one had actually been killed just like this, which truly made it hard for him to remain calm.
“Teacher, you approved of this life and death battle. Originally, his cultivation was higher than mine, so you thought that he could kill me. Isn’t that right? I’m sorry that I disappointed you!”
Ling Xiao’s face was full of mocking irony.
“Don’t call me Teacher! I don’t have a disciple like you!”
White Cloud Great Master roared.
“Humph, I also don’t want to be your disciple. A partial and unfair person like you makes me feel sick!”
Ling Xiao snorted, ready to make his escape.
Today, even if he shed all pretense of cordiality, it was not a big deal.
“This old man will kill you!”
White Cloud Great Master truly made a move, and a terrifying palm shot towards Ling Xiao.
It actually was the Transcendent Martial Technique he had used against that wolf-shaped fierce beast.
