Even the wind followed Ling Xiao’s Floating Snow Sword as if it had gained a pair of wings.
Upon closer look, Ling Xiao’s right hand, which held his sword, had changed again. It was demonized, not into a dragon claw’s, but the hand of an Ancient Great Ape.
Evil Beast Demon King was the king of all beasts.
<Nine Demon Gods Art-Evil Beast Demon King>’s Demonization could naturally demonize all or individual parts of the body into various beasts.
Ancient Demonic Dragon and Ancient Great Ape were just two of the choices.
Naturally, with Ling Xiao’s current cultivation base, he couldn’t display demonization’s full might. However, it could still greatly increase his attack power and speed.
“This brat’s move actually became even stronger! Was he actually holding back before? Truly ridiculous!”
Yang Cheng was surprised and angry.
What he had never expected was that not only had he failed to easily defeat Ling Xiao, but he had also been completely suppressed even when Ling Xiao was holding back.
How could he accept this?
Wind Sword Martial Soul!
Boom!
After a terrifying explosion, a strange sword accompanied by fierce wind appeared behind Yang Cheng.
That was his Wind Sword Martial Soul.
Originally, Yang Cheng had thought of defeating Ling Xiao without using his martial soul. Like that, the blow to Ling Xiao would be even greater, and his victory even more shocking, or at least, he couldn’t be called bullying the weak.
However, he had to use his martial soul facing this terrifying attack.
Then, the sword in his hand trembled, and a fierce tornado pierced the sky. Its might was obviously much stronger than before.
The fierce wind attempted to blow the flying snow away.
“Humph, do you think that you can turn this situation around with a martial soul? You must be dreaming!”
Cherry Tree Martial Soul!
Behind Ling Xiao, a huge tree suddenly appeared, its huge branches and trunks blocking the fierce wind.
The Black Cloud Martial Soul and Cherry Tree Martial Soul cooperated, and these two complete martial souls simultaneously displayed their might.
Yang Cheng’s Wind Sword Martial Soul was instantly suppressed.
Sword lights continuously flashed!
Yang Cheng continued to retreat!
Deng! Deng! Deng…
He was in sore straits. Many cuts appeared on his body, and he was completely covered by Ling Xiao’s sword light.
The onlookers observed this intently.
They had never expected it to happen.
“Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng was completely suppressed!”
“That Ling Xiao actually has two martial souls. No, three martial souls! Moreover, all are complete martial souls. This freak!”
“No wonder he dared to challenge Yang Cheng. This kid truly has some tricks!”
“But even so, Yang Cheng shouldn’t be in such an embarrassing state. Who can tell me what’s going on here?”
The outer disciples were surprised, but even people like Lan Yu’er, Elder White, and Hei Suo were stunned.
Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci were completely petrified.
Xu Ying had directly knelt on the ground.
She had always thought that Ling Xiao had used sneak attack to kill Zuo Leng!
Therefore, she felt that, as long as she joined Moonlight Sect, she would be able to avenge her fiancé sooner or later.
But now, her confidence was gone.
Who was Yang Cheng?
He was a powerhouse that ranked tenth in the outer sect, a Half Great Master, and an expert more than ten times stronger than Li Anle.
His strength was well known.
But now, he was being completely suppressed by a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master.
“Wind Cloud Dragon Transformation!”
Roar~~
Just when Yang Cheng was about to be forced out of the challenge stage, a dragon roar resounded.
The Wind Sword Martial Soul behind him actually showed a faint dragon’s shadow as a divine dragon seemed to coil around it.
At this time, terrifying true essence suddenly burst out of his body and rushed towards Ling Xiao.
Boom——
A loud explosion resounded, and more than a dozen outer disciples below the stage vomited blood.
There were some who even had their bones broken.
“Send them for treatment, and the rest should stand farther away!”
Elder White’s voice resounded. He truly hadn’t expected this battle to become like this.
Yang Cheng’s <Wind Cloud Art> had actually broken through at the critical moment, reaching the sublimity realm at one fell swoop with the dragon roar.
The might of this move was truly too big. Among those injured outer disciples, four were actually quasi-inner disciples who ranked within the top-thirty.
The rest were all Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters, but even they were injured.
Wouldn’t Ling Xiao, a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master, be blown into pieces?
Elder White was a little worried. If something happened to Ling Xiao, wouldn’t Hall Master Old Yang blame him?
However, after the smoke dissipated, Ling Xiao floated in midair without a trace of any injuries.
Even his clothes weren’t dirty.
As it turned out, at that moment, Ling Xiao had already analyzed how terrifying Yang Cheng’s attack was. Therefore, he gave up his attack and suddenly flew in midair using Cloud Dragon Divine Walk.
He easily avoided this attack, but the martial artists who were watching the excitement behind him suffered.
Looking at Yang Cheng, his face was gloomy. His clothes were also in tatters. Moreover, there were bloodstains in several places on his body.
However, these injuries had already healed.
His aura had also recovered. Merely, he was breathing heavily.
Looking at Ling Xiao landing on the ground, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
This was supposed to be a ‘play’ battle, swatting a fly to death to get a thousand-year-old golden snow lotus.
However, he had never expected this!
The fly suddenly turned into an ancient behemoth, making it hard for him to cope.
If it weren’t for his breakthrough in <Wind Cloud Art> under pressure, he would have already lost.
What luck!
“Ling Xiao, that guy is too scary. How is he so powerful?”
“Yes, even Yang Cheng doesn’t have the slightest advantage. Li Anle was truly not wronged!”
“Humph, not the slightest advantage? Look at the situation, Yang Cheng is in such sore straits, but Ling Xiao is completely calm. This makes me wonder who the Half Great Master is.”
Everyone below the stage retreated far away, but this didn’t affect their discussion.
“In my opinion, only Ling Xiao’s movement technique and attacks are strong, but his defense is lacking. He will fall at a single blow.”
The one who spoke was a quasi-inner disciple, Half Great Master.
“Why?”
Asked Liu Qiang, who was also a quasi-inner disciple.
“The reason is very simple. Didn’t you all notice? From the very beginning, Ling Xiao basically didn’t go head-to-head with Yang Cheng. Once Yang Cheng’s attack has a chance to injure him, he would immediately dodge. This explains that his physical body is relatively weak, and his defense is lacking. Isn’t that the same for many martial artists?”
That quasi-inner disciple said with certainty.
“Yes, Senior Brother, you are right. Although it seems like that Ling Xiao has an advantage now, as long as Senior Brother Yang touches him, he would definitely be screwed.”
After Li Anle was treated, although his injuries were not completely recovered, he was able to speak. He too supported the view of that quasi-inner disciple.
“I don’t think so!”
