And right after that, Lin Xiao and Dragon Slaughter Heaven charged violently towards the Tianji Holy Land grand elder once more.
The Tianji Holy Land grand elder was filled with shock inside. No matter how he thought about it, he could not have imagined that the combined strength of the two would wound him so gravely. In an instant, he had fallen into crisis.
At this moment, regret flooded his heart. He regretted underestimating them too much, allowing them to close in and launch consecutive surprise attacks.
But it was too late. The next instant, Dragon Slaughter Heaven reached him again. A fist blasted out fiercely towards him.
The Tianji Holy Land grand elder, already heavily wounded, could not muster overwhelming power in time. He could only raise his sword to meet it.
Clang! Another great metallic clash. The Tianji Holy Land grand elder spat blood again. His body was sent flying once more.
This time, Lin Xiao did not use Thunder Dragon Annihilation Light. Instead, he unleashed a petrifying fist force straight at the elder’s chest.
The elder’s broad sword blocked the fist energy again.
But the immense power erupting from the fist shook his chest until blood sprayed. Another great mouthful of blood burst from his mouth.
Now, the Tianji Holy Land grand elder was wounded to the point of near incapacity.
And right after that fist energy, Lin Xiao’s Hand Covering the Sky palm force struck the elder once more.
The Tianji Holy Land grand elder was battered until his flesh was mangled. His aura wilted drastically.
The next moment, Dragon Slaughter Heaven charged the elder again.
Dragon Slaughter Heaven’s speed far outstripped Lin Xiao’s.
“Senior brother, leave his skeleton intact!”
Lin Xiao quickly called to Dragon Slaughter Heaven.
Dragon Slaughter Heaven understood. He shifted from fist to palm. One palm plunged into the elder’s heart.
The Tianji Holy Land grand elder’s pupils widened in shock and unwillingness.
He never imagined that he, one of the three great Martial Saints and Tianji Holy Land grand elder, would die so humiliatingly at the hands of two juniors.
But it was over. Life faded from the Tianji Holy Land grand elder. He died with eyes unclosed.
“One down!”
Dragon Slaughter Heaven excitedly took the storage ring from the elder’s hand, tossed the corpse to Lin Xiao, then flew towards the Hong family grand elder.
Lin Xiao immediately stored the corpse in his ring, turned, and flew towards the Hong family grand elder too.
At the same time, he released the battle skeleton, ordering it to assist Huo Ruyan and pin down the Jiang family head.
Seeing the Tianji Holy Land grand elder killed so quickly by the pair, the Canglong Gate Holy State branch crowd were stunned, faces full of disbelief.
Earlier, the Ying family grand elder had been blasted to death.
Now, even the Tianji Holy Land grand elder was dead?
And beaten to death by the two together?
This was almost impossible to accept.
A Martial Saint falling was always a monumental event.
Martial Saints had not fallen for a long time. Apart from representing major powers, the main reason was their immense strength. Killing one was exceedingly difficult.
Yet in recent months, the Ji family Martial Saint had fallen. Four from the great powers had fallen.
Now, even grand elder level figures were dying, two at once.
This would turn the world upside down! The Hong family grand elder and Jiang family head were shocked.
Their opponents had already surprised them greatly. Now, before long, the Tianji Holy Land grand elder was dead at their hands.
The pair’s combat strength was simply too terrifying.
Their own foes could already fight them to a standstill.
If the two now joined forces against them, they would surely be defeated one by one, perhaps even killed here.
Both immediately sensed the danger. After unleashing powerful attacks, they turned and fled.
The Jiang family head was strong and incredibly fast. Before the battle skeleton could reach, he broke free from Huo Ruyan and escaped into the distance.
Even Huo Ruyan could not catch him.
The Hong family grand elder, under Qing Yan’s final burst with the Devouring Heaven Demonic Disc, struggled to break free. He retreated a distance only to be entangled again.
Dragon Slaughter Heaven’s speed was extreme. He soon caught up. The Hong family grand elder was completely pinned.
Seeing the Jiang family head escape, Lin Xiao ordered the battle skeleton to attack the Hong elder. He charged over himself.
Huo Ruyan turned and joined the siege on the Hong family grand elder.
“Keep his skeleton intact!”
Lin Xiao shouted loudly while still approaching.
The Hong family grand elder nearly spat blood in rage. Killing him was one thing, but keeping his skeleton? Too cruel, too infuriating.
Seeing the battle skeleton surging with rolling evil qi, he instantly understood why they wanted his intact skeleton.
To be used even in death as their fighter. How could the Hong family grand elder accept that? He unleashed powerful ultimate techniques one after another. Even Dragon Slaughter Heaven and Qing Yan could not wound him easily for a moment.
But he could not escape.
Soon, Lin Xiao, Huo Ruyan, and the battle skeleton joined the encirclement.
Over two thousand li away, seeing the brilliant bursts of light, the crowd grew curious and discussed the battle.
“Who knows how it’s going. Lin Xiao’s side only has two. It should end soon, right?”
“Four against two, strong against weak. They probably won’t last long.”
“Not necessarily. Martial Saint battles involve too much vast power. Victory might not come quickly.”
…
Shoo!
As the crowd talked, a figure streaked like lightning across the sky towards them. He looked panicked, fleeing desperately.
The group stared in shock. Someone recognised him and said blankly. “That… is the Jiang family head?”
“Impossible. The Jiang family head wouldn’t run. If anyone escapes, it should be one of Lin Xiao’s pair.”
Another said in disbelief.
“With my half-step Martial Saint eyesight, no mistake. That is the Jiang family head.”
The first said firmly.
“I saw clearly too. Definitely the Jiang family head. He escaped.”
Another confirmed.
“What’s going on? Something must have happened.”
“Even if something went wrong, if the four powers turned on each other, others should flee, not the Jiang family head. Could Lin Xiao’s side have won?”
“Unlikely, right?”
“Anyway, the Jiang family head ran. Something big must have happened.”
…
The crowd were stunned. Curiosity grew. They flew closer a bit. Looking afar, brilliant light clusters still erupted. The battle clearly continued. They dared not approach too near.
