With that, an unparalleled second-level Martial Emperor aura burst forth from Ling Xiao, its power seemingly surpassing the second-level Martial Emperor realm.
“Kill!”
A boundless fighting spirit surged, and Ling Xiao’s entire body moved, charging towards the Evil Sect Master.
Dazzling golden light bloomed in front of Ling Xiao’s fist, the radiant glow condensing into a terrifying fist aura, like the roaring Yangtze River, rushing towards the Evil Sect Master.
A fearsome pressure swept through the air.
“Hmph, let’s see how long you can hold out!” The Evil Sect Master snorted coldly, unleashing a surge of unparalleled evil energy. His long sword radiated powerful, sinister fluctuations. With a swing, vast evil energy erupted, and a terrifying sword aura, brimming with malevolent force, sliced through the air.
At the same time, Duan Huang and the Demon Sect’s Great Elder moved. Both charged towards Lin Xiao, launching powerful attacks from the outset.
A fist aura, varying in thickness like bamboo joints, carried the power to sever everything, as if it could break through any obstacle, surging forward with unstoppable momentum.
A black blade aura, infused with torrents of dark energy, roared forth in a vast, overwhelming assault.
Their attacks locked onto Lin Xiao, converging on him.
“Hmph, let’s test how strong my sixth-level Martial Lord power is against you!”
Lin Xiao snorted coldly, gripping the Nether Heaven Demon Pillar tightly. The fifth level of the Nether Heaven Demon Technique activated, and vast demonic energy surged, pouring into the pillar. The pillar seemed to come alive, unleashing torrents of dark energy and radiating terrifying fluctuations.
As Lin Xiao swung the pillar with force, a surge of dark energy erupted. A massive black beam, like a towering pillar, smashed through the air, colliding with their attacks.
“Boom!” “Boom!”…
A series of explosive roars erupted. Waves of energy, vast as the sea, burst from the point of collision, sending terrifying shockwaves rippling in all directions.
The forces were evenly matched, with no side gaining the upper hand.
Elsewhere, the Evil Sect Master’s first strike against Ling Xiao also ended in a draw.
In that moment, the Demon Sect’s Great Elder and Duan Huang frowned.
Lin Xiao’s strength exceeded their expectations. A mere sixth-level Martial Lord had withstood the combined force of their attack.
Fu Yan, watching from the side, also frowned. He knew the Demon Sect’s Great Elder’s strength well, comparable to his own, and even Duan Huang, a second-level Martial Emperor, was formidable.
Yet Lin Xiao had blocked both their attacks, meaning the Great Elder alone could not match him.
This implied that even Fu Yan himself might not be Lin Xiao’s opponent now.
A sense of urgent crisis gripped Fu Yan. Lin Xiao’s progress was too rapid, already posing a threat. If this continued, could Lin Xiao easily defeat him in the future?
Would even their Sect Master be unable to handle Lin Xiao given more time?
Fu Yan grew increasingly anxious.
The Evil Sect Master, too, was shocked.
Ling Xiao, however, reacted differently. Stunned at first, he then laughed excitedly, “Hahaha, so much for numbers!”
“Fight!”
With no more worries about Lin Xiao, Ling Xiao relaxed, his aura surging further, his fighting spirit soaring. His fist glowed with even brighter light.
“Nine Heavens Emperor-Breaking Fist!”
With Ling Xiao’s thunderous shout, a dazzling golden fist aura, carrying terrifying force, struck at the Evil Sect Master.
“Hmph!” The Evil Sect Master snorted, unleashing even stronger evil energy. A terrifying malevolent aura filled the air, and his sword aura clashed with Ling Xiao’s.
Meanwhile, Duan Huang and the Demon Sect’s Great Elder’s auras surged again.
“Severing Emperor Fist, Third Form!”
With a loud shout, Duan Huang unleashed a more powerful attack. His fist glowed with dazzling golden light, and a formidable fist aura, like a roaring river, carried the momentum of the previous strike, surging towards Lin Xiao.
“Demon Wave Blade!”
The Demon Sect’s Great Elder also snorted, dark energy emanating from him. His long blade seemed to dance with demonic flames. With a heavy slash, a terrifying black blade aura shot forth, like a void thunderstrike or a streak of black lightning, slashing towards Lin Xiao.
“Nine Nether Demon Body!”
Lin Xiao showed no weakness, unleashing the full power of his Nine Nether Demon Body. Torrents of demonic energy surged not only from his dantian but from his entire body.
His skin began to darken.
His entire being turned pitch black.
Rolling dark mist poured from him, and in an instant, Lin Xiao seemed to transform into a dark demon, exuding terrifying pressure and a fearsome aura that ravaged the heavens.
The Nether Heaven Demon Pillar radiated even more terrifying fluctuations. With a swing, an immensely powerful black pillar beam smashed into their attacks.
“Boom!”…
A thunderous roar, like the heavens trembling, erupted. The forces shattered, turning into surging waves of energy and blood, like a stormy sea, primarily rushing towards the Demon Sect’s Great Elder and Duan Huang.
The torrential waves engulfed them, sending them flying back.
This clash was no less intense than Ling Xiao’s against the Evil Sect Master, perhaps even stronger.
Combined with the shockwaves from Ling Xiao’s clash, the entire area became a sea of energy, shaking the heavens.
The Demon Sect’s Great Elder and Duan Huang, flung back, showed deep shock on their faces.
Though this strike did not injure them, it was their strongest trump card attack.
Two second-level Martial Emperors, one a veteran of decades or centuries, had their combined ultimate attack repelled by Lin Xiao?
Did this mean they could not take him down today?
“If that’s the case, prepare to be killed one by one!”
Seeing them repelled, Lin Xiao’s confidence soared. He charged forward, riding the surging waves, rushing towards Duan Huang.
The Nether Heaven Demon Pillar in his hands switched to the Shaking Light Broken Sword. His strongest elemental force surged from his dantian, activating the Blood Dragon phenomenon. A crimson light bloomed outside his dantian.
A blood-red dragon’s shadow appeared above his head, as if a divine dragon overlooked all directions, exuding an ancient, desolate pressure that filled the air.
At the same time, a wild, unparalleled aura erupted from Lin Xiao, his ferocious martial intent enveloping him.
Under the intense elemental force activating the Shaking Light Sword Technique, terrifying fluctuations rippled from Lin Xiao’s now-transparent body. The Shaking Light Broken Sword seemed to contain overwhelming power, trembling faintly.
Then, a blinding white light burst from Lin Xiao’s body and the Shaking Light Broken Sword, raised to the sky.
Seeing this, Duan Huang’s expression changed drastically. Lin Xiao’s might was far stronger than his previous fifth-level Martial Lord attacks.
Moreover, Lin Xiao had locked onto him, charging straight at him, ignoring the Demon Sect’s Great Elder hundreds of feet away.
This meant Lin Xiao was willing to take a hit from the Great Elder to eliminate Duan Huang first.
