After Tie Shan finished speaking, within a radius of more than ten meters, countless roots suddenly burst out from the ground, forming a huge cage-like thing, encircling Ling Xiao and Tie Shan inside.
“Your martial soul’s ability is interesting. Can all plant series do this?”
Ling Xiao had the Cherry Tree Martial Soul before, but he didn’t study it carefully. Now, seeing this Hemlock Martial Soul, he was very interested.
After snatching this thing, he could play around it for a few days. The plant series martial souls were very suitable for fighting in the forest.
Besides, if such a majestic hemlock tree was transplanted into the Landscape World, it would be quite good.
“Junior Brother Ling is worthy of being Junior Brother Ling. Even at this moment, you are still in the mood to ask questions.”
Honestly speaking, Tie Shan couldn’t see through Ling Xiao. Did this person have a problem in his brain? Even at this moment, he was actually interested in paying attention to this kind of problem?
But he didn’t dare to be careless at all. He used true essence to form a defensive wall, which completely protected him.
And got into an attack stance.
He was prepared to go all out!
Even when facing Ling Xiao, whose cultivation base was inferior to his, he wouldn’t hold back!
Otherwise, he might be beheaded like the corpse on the ground!
Looking at Tie Shan, Ling Xiao was a little excited.
He never had the intention to kill Tie Shan with a surprise attack.
If he did that, that would be truly boring, moreover, he won’t be able to achieve the objective to test his strength.
Fighting head-on, not only he could gauge the combat power of Rank Seven Transcendent Realm, but he would also be able to verify how much progress he had made.
Those martial artists he killed before weren’t strong enough to make him go all out. Therefore, that was just a slaughter game.
Circulating true essence, five qi swords condensed into one brilliant treasured sword.
Ling Xiao grabbed that qi sword with his right hand, and his fighting spirit rose!
“It seems you are ready to die!”
A cold smile appeared on Tie Shan’s face. Killing people was a common occurrence for martial artists, and killing a dangerous person would make martial artists feel excited.
In the next moment, he rushed out like a fierce beast.
His target was naturally Ling Xiao.
The stick in his hand had transformed into the sharpest spear at this moment, and it seemed to want to directly pierce through Ling Xiao.
The smile on Ling Xiao’s face had already disappeared and was replaced by complete indifference.
Staring at Tie Shan, Ling Xiao slowly rose his right hand, and the qi sword in his right hand suddenly exploded with a terrifying aura.
“Scram!”
The qi sword suddenly became longer, and the fierce and violent qi sword extended out, stabbing Tie Shan.
This exchange proved one point. Ling Xiao’s qi sword could injure Tie Shan.
Bang!
A loud sound of explosion resounded.
At the critical moment, Tie Shan used his stick to block the qi sword, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He felt as if he had collided against a mountain, and he was forcibly pushed back.
His legs drew two clear marks on the ground.
Only after no less than nine meters, the length of qi sword reached the limit, and Tie Shan finally stopped.
“Sure enough, this kid is hard to deal with!”
Standing there, Tie Shan’s eyes flickered.
He hadn’t underestimated Ling Xiao. He had used 80% of his power in the attack just now.
The remaining 20% was naturally left to prepare for any contingencies. This was Crouching Dragon Mountain Range. If by chance a fierce beast appeared, he would need enough true essence to escape.
His arms were shaking lightly.
Although he was not injured, Ling Xiao’s terrifying strength made him feel that the situation was very thorny.
The strength of this kid might have reached nine thousand pounds, far stronger than ordinary martial artists.
I can’t fight him head-on!
When Tie Shan had stepped into the Transcendent Realm, he had relied on true essence potential to breakthrough. Therefore, his physical strength was not that good.
Fighting Ling Xiao head-on like this was definitely not a wise move.
However, if physical strength was not enough, the martial soul could make up for it.
“Ling Xiao, I advise you to use your martial soul, otherwise, you won’t have a chance later.”
Tie Shan sneered, and his body began to change rapidly.
It was slow to tell, but it actually happened instantly.
Ling Xiao clearly saw that this fellow’s skin was covered with a layer of bark, and his originally pale skin turned into black iron-like color, which seemed not easy to deal with at a glance.
Ling Xiao didn’t say anything. He just stood there and looked at Tie Shan.
He knew that Tie Shan would definitely not be easy to deal with after this transformation, but it didn’t scare him, instead, he found it even more interesting.
Tie Shan flashed and he was faster than before!
He left behind afterimages, rushing towards Ling Xiao.
The gust of wind brought along by his speed actually made the bonfire flicker violently in all directions.
Ling Xiao still didn’t dodge.
He still used the same move.
Using his terrifying strength of nine thousand pounds, he wanted to test what kind of changes this fellow had undergone.
Boom!
A louder sound of explosion resounded.
Ling Xiao felt as if he collided against a towering tree, and he was forced back.
However, his performance was naturally more natural than Tie Shan. Even though he was forced back, he stopped just two meters away.
“Eh? Interesting. After your transformation, your strength has increased by nearly two thousand pounds, and now, your strength is close to ten thousand pounds. No wonder you can force me back!”
Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said: “But what’s the point of just increasing strength?”
His figure suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, the qi sword was already moving towards Tie Shan.
Clang!
This time, the qi sword didn’t even leave a scratch on Tie Shan. It was like something had wrapped around his body, and his defense was much stronger.
However, Ling Xiao’s attack didn’t stop because of this. His speed was much faster, and his movement technique was also much better than the opponent.
For a moment, above the huge rock, the sounds of metal collision resounded continuously.
In just twenty breaths, Ling Xiao had actually attacked all vital parts of Tie Shan.
However, his attacks were all in vain.
“Boy, you are truly ignorant. In terms of using techniques of martial souls, I’m much better than you! Who told you that one type of martial soul has one type of boost? With your attack power, waiting to break through my defense is simply impossible!”
Tie Shan just stood there, letting Ling Xiao keep attacking. Then, a disdainful smile appeared on his face as he said: “You’ve been attacking me for a long time. The playtime is over, now, just die for me!”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a spike appeared on the ground.
Ling Xiao’s eyes and legs were fast. He was able to dodge it, but his cloth was still pierced through.
Just after he landed, another spike appeared behind him, and he hastily dodged.
