The array barrier also rang out with a fierce sound, but the explosion was more than two hundred li away, and with the array’s own power, it did not shatter at all.
Lin Xiao and the others did not rush to attack. They waited to see the result of that strike.
Qing Yan, Huo Ruyan, Dragon Slaughter Heaven, and everyone else were all shocked.
Especially the people from the Canglong Gate Holy State branch. They had never imagined that this youth, famous across the continent, could unleash such terrifying explosive force.
Only now did they understand that the four Martial Saints had not died by chance or coincidence.
He had killed them with this very strike.
Under such a blow, even another first-level Martial Saint would probably have been blasted to death.
Of course, this was just their guess from seeing the power.
In truth, Lin Xiao had not used this strike to kill the four.
On the contrary, it had taken almost no effort.
“Humans are too terrifying!”
Qing Yan could not help sighing inwardly again.
Not only was the divine dragon bloodline frightening, and the blood demon body frightening, but this fellow was even more so! He was not yet at Martial Saint realm, yet one strike could produce such horrific explosive power.
Humans were simply all monstrous like gods and demons! Qing Yan’s former arrogance and confidence took another heavy blow.
Over a thousand li away, the onlookers were equally startled. From afar they saw the massive commotion.
The noise seemed even greater than before.
But they only thought the battle was intense.
Battles between Martial Saints truly were not something they could clearly watch. Alarmed, they retreated another two thousand li.
When the energy finally dispersed, everyone saw a mangled corpse hundreds of li away drifting outwards and falling to the ground.
Clearly, the Ying family grand elder had been blasted to death! The faces of the Tianji Holy Land grand elder and the others twitched.
A second-level Martial Saint, the Ying family grand elder, killed just like that?
If it had been one of them, caught off guard, would they not face the same danger?
This was far too domineering.
How had he unleashed it?
The Jiang family head and the other two immediately grew grave.
Killing a second-level Martial Saint in one strike. Even the Jiang family head himself could not do that.
The other side possessed such strength. This was no longer a situation they could completely overwhelm.
Only now did they realise that even with experts from all four great powers combined, taking him down would not be easy.
The Canglong Gate Holy State branch crowd were also stunned. The Ying family grand elder, the Ying family’s second-in-command, a figure who could make the entire Mysterious State tremble with one stomp, dead just like that?
Killed by Lin Xiao in a single strike?
They were so shocked they could barely recover.
“Hahaha! Kill!”
At that moment, Dragon Slaughter Heaven laughed heartily. Power brewed within him, faint dragon roars echoing.
Yu Wei immediately withdrew the array. Dragon Slaughter Heaven, Huo Ruyan, Qing Yan, and Lin Xiao all moved, splitting into three directions and charging towards the three opponents.
Their strategy had already been decided.
Huo Ruyan rushed the Jiang family head to tie him down. Qing Yan charged the Hong family grand elder.
Dragon Slaughter Heaven and Lin Xiao both targeted the Tianji Holy Land grand elder.
They were determined to take him down.
Seeing the four rush out, the Jiang family head was briefly startled, then delighted.
As long as it was not that sneak attack, and they came forward themselves, there was nothing to fear.
Or rather, that terrifying explosive strike must consume enormous energy. The opponent could probably only use it once.
As for the oncoming youths, especially the young woman and the mottled-clothed youth, the Jiang family head and Hong family grand elder paid them no heed.
Only the Tianji Holy Land grand elder felt some wariness facing the two charging him.
But it was merely wariness.
He had seen Dragon Slaughter Heaven before. Just a first-level Martial Saint. As long as the opponent could not use that strike again, two first-level Martial Saints posed no threat.
Both sides intended close combat. The three from Tianji Holy Land also planned to fight up close to prevent another such attack.
Thus, neither side struck immediately. They built full power and collided towards each other.
Clang!
A heaven-shaking metallic clash rang out. The Jiang family head and Huo Ruyan met first.
The iron bamboo in the Jiang family head’s hand clashed with Huo Ruyan’s blood sword. Vast qi erupted. Both were forced back.
They retreated over a dozen li. The Jiang family head felt his palms go numb.
Only then did he realise her combat strength could actually contend with a third-level Martial Saint.
Yet she only emitted first-level Martial Saint aura. However, her blood qi gave the sensation that one’s blood was being drawn out.
“What is her background?”
The Jiang family head was shocked.
At that moment, Huo Ruyan had already activated the blood demon body’s power. She surged violently towards him again, slashing heavily with her sword.
On the other side, a flying disc appeared in Qing Yan’s hand. As he neared the Hong family grand elder, the disc suddenly shot out, nearly grazing the elder’s side. It was heavily knocked away by his bow.
Yet the Hong family grand elder was still forced sideways by the disc’s explosive force.
Only then did he discover that this oddly ugly, specially clad youth was actually another first-level Martial Saint.
And his strength could directly clash with a second-level Martial Saint.
Immediately after, the mottled-clothed youth erupted with rolling demonic qi.
“Demonic Saint!”
The Hong family grand elder’s heart jolted. But by then, the opponent was already charging him again.
On the other side.
Dragon Slaughter Heaven wore soft weapon gauntlets. He reached the Tianji Holy Land grand elder first and punched. The elder’s broad sword slashed ferociously at the fist.
Clang! A great metallic ring. The broad sword was smashed back.
The Tianji Holy Land grand elder flipped. The sword’s back struck his own chest heavily. Blood sprayed from his mouth. His body flew backwards.
He never imagined this Canglong Gate first-level Martial Saint would be this powerful. One strike made him spit blood.
In that instant, Lin Xiao also struck. His first move was a sneak-attack Thunder Dragon Annihilation Light.
A beam formed from a thunder dragon carried unmatched power. Almost immediately after Dragon Slaughter Heaven repelled the elder, it fired at lightning speed towards the elder’s brow.
But the Tianji Holy Land grand elder was extremely alert. He sensed the danger instantly. The broad sword’s back was wide. He shifted it slightly and blocked the Thunder Dragon Annihilation Light.
Boom chi!
Sparks flew. Fierce sound rang out. Black smoke rose from the broad sword. Terrifying energy erupted. The sword’s back struck the elder heavily on the brow. Blood flowed from his forehead. Another great mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. His body was sent flying again.
And right after the Thunder Dragon Annihilation Light, Lin Xiao’s fist energy followed, striking the broad sword below the elder.
Vast qi waves exploded. The Tianji Holy Land grand elder suffered another heavy wound.
Three consecutive blows in an instant.
The Tianji Holy Land elder felt completely dazed from the beating.
