Chapter 1160 The Regretful Shangguan Xiong
The Regretful Shangguan Xiong
“What?” Seeing the Purple Corpse Puppet almost able to contend against the energy weapon, Shangguan Xiong was greatly shocked.
This corpse puppet could defend against his energy weapon attack?
With this corpse puppet present, would he not be unable to injure Lin Xiao?
He had originally thought that Lin Xiao only had strong defensive martial skills, and that after urging a few energy attacks, he could break through it. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao had a corpse puppet that could almost contend against the strength of a sixth-layer Martial Emperor.
No wonder the other had been so fearless, having guessed his identity yet still daring to come over.
However, if he gave up attacking Lin Xiao, he would also be extremely unwilling.
Spiritual power surged violently once more, and he urged the energy weapon again, assaulting towards Lin Xiao.
“Kill for me!”
At the same time, Shangguan Xiong roared fiercely at the two.
The two violently dashed towards the directions from which Lin Xiao and the Purple Corpse Puppet had retreated, and fist glows and palm forces erupted from their hands once more.
“I will settle you two first!”
Lin Xiao commanded the Purple Corpse Puppet to charge forward, meeting that energy weapon head-on, while he himself rushed towards one of the elders. Spiritual power surged in his mind, the mysterious meridian route operated, and the One Hand Covering the Sky energy martial skill was unleashed.
A black, cyan, and blue tricolour energy palm condensed and formed in the air, slamming towards the palm force of one second-layer Martial Emperor elder.
At the same time, he drew the Yaoguang Broken Sword, yuan power surged within his body, the Yaoguang Sword Art was urged, his entire body became transparent, terrifying fluctuations rippled out from his body and the Yaoguang Broken Sword in his hand, and brilliant white light bloomed.
Accompanying his sword slash, an even more dazzling and bright sword glow shot out, carrying the power to annihilate everything, slashing towards the other Martial Emperor.
This was Lin Xiao fully urging the Yaoguang Sword Art. After reaching the seventh layer of Martial Monarch, its power had become even more terrifying.
“Rumble!” “Rumble!” “Rumble!”…
At this moment, the three sides’ powers all collided with each other. The grey-robed elder’s palm force was shattered by the tricolour energy palm. The tricolour energy palm did not diminish much and, sweeping with rolling fluctuations, slammed towards the grey-robed elder.
On the other side, the dazzling bright sword glow cleaved through the fist glow of the other second-layer Martial Emperor elder. The fist glow turned into rolling air waves spreading to both sides.
The sword glow similarly was not weakened much, carrying the power to annihilate all things, unstoppable as it slashed towards that second-layer Martial Emperor powerhouse.
“Puff!” “Sizzle!”
The sword glow and energy palm struck the two elders almost simultaneously. The body of that second-layer Martial Emperor elder was cleaved into two halves by the sword glow, blood spraying as he perished and descended to the Yellow Springs.
The grey-robed elder was struck by the three types of energy palm and was burned and devoured until his entire body was reduced to a charred corpse several times smaller, perishing on the spot.
At the same time, the clash between the Purple Corpse Puppet and the energy weapon also erupted with waves as vast as the sea.
The rolling fluctuations shook the Purple Corpse Puppet flying out, and Lin Xiao was also affected by this fluctuation. His internal qi and blood churned, nearly causing him to spit blood, and his entire person was shaken far away.
However, fortunately, the attack of that energy weapon had been blocked by the Purple Corpse Puppet for the majority, and with his robust physical body, he was not injured.
“What, spiritual energy! He actually possesses spiritual energy! His soul spiritual power is actually so terrifying!” In this instant, Shangguan Xiong was shocked to the point of almost jumping up.
Spiritual energy, that was something countless soul controllers dreamed of. Even Spirit Phoenix Valley did not have it, and even the renowned Spirit Pool Island seemed not to have heard of anyone refining spiritual energy.
Yet, Lin Xiao actually possessed spiritual energy!
Lin Xiao’s spiritual power was actually so powerful that, under the urging of spiritual energy, one strike easily killed a second-layer Martial Emperor.
This spiritual power combat strength was almost no less than…
Looking again at Lin Xiao’s yuan power attack, one strike cleaved a second-layer Martial Emperor in half. The power of that sword seemed even stronger than his strongest spiritual power attack.
Taken together, Lin Xiao’s combat strength probably could contend against a fifth-layer Martial Emperor!
How could he be so terrifying at only twenty years old?
Even the four valleys, or even the three sects, did not have such a genius!
Lin Xiao possessed such powerful combat strength, yet he had thought the other only had strong defence and fast speed, possessing only the combat strength of a first-layer Martial Emperor.
The other’s strength clearly far exceeded his own.
He had even been thinking of slave-controlling Lin Xiao all along.
If it were just Lin Xiao himself, that would be fine; he could still urge the energy weapon to heavily injure him.
But Lin Xiao also had a corpse puppet that could almost contend against a sixth-layer Martial Emperor with terrifying defence.
He fundamentally could not do anything to Lin Xiao. With the corpse puppet and Lin Xiao combined, they would definitely be able to contend against the attacks from his urged energy weapon.
The energy weapon could not be used many times. Once it was used up, it would probably be his end!
Shangguan Xiong immediately felt a sense of dark hatred towards himself, hating himself for underestimating Lin Xiao so much.
With such strength and talent, if he could slave-control him, it would naturally be a tremendous gain.
But that required the strength to achieve it.
With his strength, it was clearly far from enough.
Plus a trump card like the corpse puppet, even if a sixth-grade mid-level soul controller from Spirit Phoenix Valley came, they probably could not do it.
“Flee!”
In the first moment, Shangguan Xiong controlled the energy weapon to reflect back, grabbed it, and immediately fled in the opposite direction.
“Can you escape?”
At this time, Lin Xiao’s voice sounded. Lin Xiao and the Purple Corpse Puppet simultaneously pursued.
Whether the Purple Corpse Puppet or Lin Xiao, their speeds both greatly exceeded Shangguan Xiong’s. In no time, they closed in on Shangguan Xiong.
Shangguan Xiong’s heart was filled with great terror, and he darkly hated himself for not having one more speed pill.
He knew Lin Xiao’s speed, which was faster than his own, and with this even more powerful corpse puppet, he fundamentally could not escape.
“My life is over! I regret it so much!” Shangguan Xiong said with immense regret.
If he had known Lin Xiao was so terrifying, he would never have provoked the other from the start.
Why did Lin Xiao dare to poison Xue Ling to death?
Because he himself was stronger than Xue Ling!
It was laughable that he had actually regarded Lin Xiao as prey!
Unexpectedly, he, who had been clever and wise all his life with numerous schemes, had miscalculated so greatly and was about to perish here.
However, just as Lin Xiao and the Purple Corpse Puppet were about to make their move, a terrifying aura suddenly swept over. An incomparably terrifying pressure immediately enveloped the two and the one corpse from ahead.
“Ninth-layer Martial Emperor!” Lin Xiao was greatly shocked, and the veins on his forehead truly throbbed. A ninth-layer Martial Emperor powerhouse had actually appeared at this time!
From the looks of it, it seemed to be to stop him from killing Shangguan Xiong.
In an instant, Lin Xiao immediately halted his hand and retreated in the opposite direction, while also commanding the Purple Corpse Puppet to stop and follow him in retreating.
While retreating, Lin Xiao’s divine sense probed into the storage ring, preparing to take out the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings.
However, at this moment, the direction from which that aura swept changed suddenly, as if teleporting, and immediately became emanating from in front of him. An even more terrifying Martial Emperor pressure enveloped his body, giving him a feeling as if he were sinking into a quagmire.
This pressure was truly too terrifying.
Immediately after, a figure appeared in front of Lin Xiao.
This was an elder with black hair and an indifferent expression. It could be felt that the other was already advanced in age, but the wrinkles on his face were not many, just like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. His body had an unparalleled aura, the entire person like a mountain or a ridge, making one unable to fathom him.
