“Youtian Demon Art is indeed impressive!”
A mocking smirk crossed Lin Xiao’s face as he unleashed another sword strike powered by Youtian Demon Art. Black energy surged around him, a dark sword beam slicing through the air.
Cang Shang’s expression darkened, sneering, “Hmph, you’ve only reached the second layer. I’ve already touched the third!”
His aura surged, black energy billowing as he gripped his blade with both hands, slashing with a black blade beam that tore through the sky.
“Youtian Demon Art is just one of my tools!” Lin Xiao declared. Switching tactics, he activated the Yaoguang Sword Technique. The black energy vanished, his body turning translucent, radiant light bursting forth, illuminating the surroundings.
The Yaoguang Sword Technique channeled vast yuan force into his broken Yaoguang sword, which hummed with terrifying power.
“Yaoguang Sword Technique!”
With a thunderous shout, Lin Xiao slashed, a blinding white sword beam erupting with unmatched force, meeting Cang Shang’s third-layer Youtian Demon Art blade beam—his strongest attack.
“Boom!”
A resounding clash echoed. Cang Shang’s blade beam shattered, the weakened white sword beam striking him.
“Pfft!”
Blood sprayed from Cang Shang’s mouth as he was hurled back, his face etched with disbelief. A Fourth Realm Martial Venerable, barely wielding third-layer Youtian Demon Art, defeated by Lin Xiao?
It wasn’t just Lin Xiao’s strength but the amplified power of the Yaoguang sword, its might enhanced by Lin Xiao’s Martial Venerable realm.
“Today, you die!” After wounding Cang Shang, Lin Xiao charged, power surging for another strike.
“Cang Shang, face me!” A booming voice interrupted. Wu Tian, radiating Fourth Realm Martial Venerable aura, rushed from the side toward Cang Shang.
“He broke through to Fourth Realm?” Lin Xiao thought, surprised. Over a month ago, Wu Tian, first on the Heavenly Star List, lost to the newly advanced Cang Shang and secluded himself. Now, having broken through, he sought revenge.
This was a battlefield, and Lin Xiao didn’t pause, continuing his assault on Cang Shang.
Both Lin Xiao and Wu Tian targeted him.
Cang Shang’s face paled, brows furrowing. But before their attacks landed—
“Pfft!”
Blood sprayed from Cang Shang’s neck, his head flying, eyes wide in shock, dying unresigned.
Not just Lin Xiao, but Wu Tian froze. They hadn’t struck, yet Cang Shang was beheaded?
Nearby Youtian Alliance members were stunned. Their top disciple, dead without cause?
“Hu Yue!” Lin Xiao’s shock turned to joy.
Only Hu Yue, with her stealth phenomenon, could decapitate unseen.
She had revived, healed, and killed Cang Shang with one strike!
“Her cultivation must have broken through,” Lin Xiao mused. After refining the Taixu Soul-Returning Pill, a breakthrough was certain.
“Cang Shang!” High above, You Mo roared in fury, launching a fist beam at Lin Xiao.
Boom!
The Vice Dean flicked a finger, a radiant beam intercepting it. The collision unleashed shockwaves, knocking dozens of nearby fighters back.
Lin Xiao noticed the aerial clash, but the shockwaves didn’t reach him. The Vice Dean charged You Mo, his overwhelming strikes forcing You Mo back, too occupied to target Lin Xiao.
Cang Shang’s death enraged Youtian’s leadership, but Holy City’s fighters kept them pinned, unable to act.
Youtian’s Heavenly Demon List disciples grew wary, knowing Hu Yue’s reputation as Tianmen’s vice-leader, a terrifying assassin.
Gu Shiyou’s eyes narrowed, his aura intensifying. He battered Bai Moxuan while staying vigilant, black energy surging to guard against Hu Yue.
“Kill!” Lin Xiao’s gaze locked on Gu Shiyou, Youtian’s next top disciple after Cang Shang, with talent rivaling his and strength just below.
But as he moved, Gu Shiyou’s head inexplicably flew, blood spraying.
Lin Xiao was stunned again.
Gu Shiyou, too, killed by Hu Yue’s sword?
How strong was she now?
Cang Shang’s death came after Lin Xiao’s heavy blow and Wu Tian’s distraction, allowing Hu Yue’s surprise attack.
But Gu Shiyou, unharmed and hyper-alert, was still beheaded without warning?
Hu Yue’s stealth had grown terrifyingly potent, approaching Gu Shiyou undetected.
The crowd gaped. Youtian’s top two prodigies, dead in moments.
“Hu Yue?”
“Vice-Leader?”
“Hahaha, Vice-Leader’s out! Cang Shang and Gu Shiyou didn’t even know how they died!” Ma Bi, Wang Long, and Tianmen disciples roared with laughter. In this chaotic battlefield, Hu Yue’s invisible, lethal strikes were a nightmare for enemies.
