Yang Cheng stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Ling Xiao coldly. Although he was rather surprised by Li Anle’s defeat, he didn’t particularly care about it.
Li Anle, that idiot, must have underestimated his enemy again; otherwise, how could he fall for the other party’s surprise attack?
His condescending and arrogant appearance, no one found it abnormal.
It was also reasonable. Facing a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master, if the rank-tenth Half Great Master were cautious, he would be laughed at.
His current attitude was normal and reasonable.
In front of him, Ling Xiao was a fish on the chopping board, desperately struggling.
Perhaps, the little master couldn’t deal with it, but when a true master came out, he could easily cut that fish.
“Sigh, how good it would be if he knew when to stop…”
Lan Yu’er sighed.
Although she too had been surprised when Ling Xiao had defeated Li Anle, Yang Cheng was too strong. At least, among the outer disciples, only a few people dared to say that they could defeat him.
Ling Xiao was like an ant challenging an elephant.
“Forget it, losing might be a good thing for him. His martial art qualifications are not good, but his medicinal qualification is top-notch. It’s not hard for him to become a top-rate alchemist.”
Lan Yu’er had already figured out Ling Xiao’s future path.
Zhao Zhi sighed. He actually had the intention of winning Ling Xiao over. However, Ling Xiao unexpectedly offended Yang Cheng, and he was about to become a laughingstock. Zhao Zhi truly felt a bit regretful.
As for Xu Ying, there was a crazy smile on her face.
She knew that Ling Xiao was screwed. There was no chance of a comeback. This idiot who doesn’t know when to advance or retreat will face a tragic loss.
……
Challenge Stage
Ling Xiao looked at Yang Cheng without a change in his expression.
How strong was Yang Cheng? He knew very well.
Just using a cultivation base of Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein to fight this fellow was a big risk, but Ling Xiao had no intention of exposing his true cultivation level here.
A high risk didn’t mean that he couldn’t win.
The greater the pressure and risk, the more he felt that he would gain.
Where there was danger was also opportunity.
“Not speaking? Do you think I’ll be lenient just because you are silent? I’m not stupid like Li Anle…”
Before Yang Cheng could finish speaking, he suddenly discovered that Ling Xiao’s figure had disappeared.
Nine Demon Gods Art!
Cloud Dragon Divine Walk!
At that instant, the muscles all over Yang Cheng’s body tightened. He even felt a bone-piercing cold chill.
He couldn’t determine Ling Xiao’s exact location.
Above?
Below?
Or Left?
Or perhaps, right?
Below the stage, everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air.
Perhaps, only four or five people were able to truly see Ling Xiao’s figure, but this definitely didn’t include Yang Cheng.
Ling Xiao’s <Cloud Dragon Divine Walk> was originally an entry gold-grade martial art.
Coupled with <Nine Demon Gods Art-Evil Beast Demon King>, it was equivalent to a rare gold-grade martial art.
Moreover, one mustn’t forget.
He still had Blood Shadow Martial Soul!
This martial soul not only made him invisible, but his movement technique also became weirder and faster.
This sudden change tingled Yang Cheng’s scalp and shocked the crowd.
Who would have thought that Ling Xiao would actually take the initiative to attack first like he had with Li Anle.
His combination of movement technique and martial soul seemed seamless.
“Sublimity Movement Technique?”
Elder White’s eyebrows rose. In the outer sect, someone was actually able to cultivate an entry gold-grade martial art to the sublimity realm. This was truly a shocking matter.
One must know that even in the inner sect, there were not many who could cultivate their entry gold-grade martial arts to the sublimity realm, not to mention the outer sect.
In any case, Elder White knew that only the top-three, those three freaks, had achieved this.
A sublimity realm entry gold-grade martial art combined with <Nine Demon Gods Art> then Blood Shadow Martial Soul was simply terrifying.
Yang Cheng was still looking for Ling Xiao’s position.
Divine Prison King Fist—Kill Life!
In a very unusual place, Ling Xiao suddenly appeared and fiercely punched.
This punch was even stronger than the punch he had used to deal with Li Anle.
One could see that Ling Xiao’s right arm had completely changed to be covered with golden dragon scales, and his hand had changed into a dragon claw.
The terrifying fist dented the air, making sonic booms as it flew straight towards the weakest part of Yang Cheng’s defense.
“Strong Wind Scattering the Last Clouds!”
During this imminent peril, milky white true essence burst out of Yang Cheng’s body, which then turned into a violent gust, completely covering him.
Then, the violent gust actually formed a tornado with him as the center and swept around.
This was domineering and terrifying like a real tornado trying to tear Ling Xiao into pieces.
Boom!
The tornado and dragon claw collided, creating a terrifying shockwave. Many people’s eardrums ruptured.
This scene was soul-stirring.
“Gutu!”
The crowd couldn’t help swallowing their saliva. This scene was even more exciting than the previous battle between Yang Cheng and Liu Qiang.
They were reluctant to blink as they truly didn’t want to miss a moment of this brilliant battle.
After the shockwave, blood oozed from the corners of Yang Cheng’s mouth, but he didn’t seem to have taken much damage. With loose hair, he stood there like a sword god descending to the earth.
He had already drawn his sword; he didn’t dare to be careless with Ling Xiao as his opponent.
Ling Xiao floated down as if he were weightless and landed on the edge of the challenge stage. His face was slightly pale, but he didn’t seem injured.
“Half Great Masters, their true essence is truly thick, especially Yang Cheng, worthy to be the outer sect’s rank ten!”
Ling Xiao’s expression was as indifferent as ever.
He looked at Yang Cheng while thinking about his next move.
Yang Cheng’s strength didn’t exceed his estimate, but he was indeed very powerful. It was definitely not easy to defeat him.
Compared to Yang Cheng, Li Anle was nothing but trash.
They were both Half Great Masters, but regardless of their abilities and the thickness of their true essence, there was a big difference.
In the previous exchange, if Yang Cheng’s move hadn’t been as hasty, or if he hadn’t targeted the other party’s weakness, he would have definitely suffered.
Even with the third layer of <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, he was injured.
Therefore, it was meaningless to defend, he had to attack!
Yang Cheng stood there, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and on his pale face, a hint of redness suddenly appeared.
“Good! Truly good! Ling Xiao, you are indeed better than that trash Li Anle. You were actually able to injure me! Even if it was just a sneak attack, it’s enough for you to be proud!”
“However, you will stop at this point!”
Ling Xiao showed a hint of a smile.
“Is that so? You are this surprised when I injure you? Then, if I defeat you, wouldn’t you directly commit suicide?”
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes.
In this exchange, he had already obtained all Yang Cheng’s information. The following exchanges would be easier.
