At this moment, Lin Xiao, who had soared into the sky, had already drawn his broken Yaoguang sword. Holding the sword with both hands, a wild martial aura surged forth, and the primal energy of a fourth-level Martial Venerable in his dantian was pushed to its limit, directly activating the phenomenon within his dantian.
“Roar!”
A dragon’s roar echoed, and a blood-red dragon phantom appeared in the sky, exuding an ancient aura as if from the primordial wilderness. An overwhelmingly terrifying pressure swept in all directions, and the sky above seemed to be dyed red, instantly turning crimson.
“Roar!”
Lin Xiao swung his sword, and a brilliant azure light burst forth. An immensely terrifying force condensed into a long azure dragon. As the dragon emerged, the void seemed to tremble, and a vast, terrifying wave surged towards the incoming fist and blade beams.
“Boom!”
A sound like thunder from the nine heavens rang out, and vast, sea-like waves of energy surged violently, spreading in all directions with terrifying force.
This strike was evenly matched.
However, the group of young spectators was left in shock.
Although the sonic attack was terrifyingly destructive, it was merely an indiscriminate attack, having little effect on Cao Youwei and the others.
Yet, Lin Xiao’s individual strength was able to withstand a combined strike from Cao Youwei and Xu Changkong?
It must be noted that both were among the most elite talents in this region. Their combined strength could likely rival even a peak Martial Venerable. Cao Youwei and Xu Changkong were also astonished. Even though Lu Chao had been severely injured by Lin Xiao, they could tell it was due to the burst of power during Lin Xiao’s breakthrough, which was stronger than usual and likely amplified by spiritual energy, catching Lu Chao off guard when he wasn’t fully exerting himself.
But now, Lin Xiao had blocked their combined attack, executed with their core martial techniques, using pure primal energy?
At the same time, the booming sounds of Xu Shijie and Lu Yiluo’s battle elsewhere caused both of them to frown.
Xu Changkong hadn’t expected Lin Xiao’s mind-control ability to be so powerful as to manipulate Lu Yiluo to such an extent. If it grew even stronger, could it control even him?
Cao Youwei, however, wasn’t as shocked as Xu Changkong. Having nearly been controlled by Lin Xiao’s mind-control ability himself, he knew how formidable it was.
Lu Yiluo’s manipulation was within his expectations.
“Use your strongest power, or we’ll fall to him!”
At this moment, Cao Youwei glanced at Xu Changkong and shouted. A terrifying wave emanated from him, and the third move of the Sky-Splitting Fist was unleashed.
“Sky-Splitting Fist, Horizontal Sky Rift!”
With a thunderous shout, Cao Youwei’s awe-inspiring fist thrust forward, as if pushing a mountain. The void itself seemed to shift under its force.
“Chi!” A transparent force radiated from the front of Cao Youwei’s fist, condensing into a terrifyingly brilliant fist beam. The dazzling beam shot downward like a towering jade pillar, exuding a terrifying aura that made the heavens tremble, with a force around it that seemed to tear the void apart.
This strike was the strongest move of the Cao family’s core martial technique, mastered only by Cao Youwei among the younger generation. The punch drained most of his strength.
Its power was immense, and as the fist beam descended, the terrifying pressure was like a giant mountain collapsing, causing the void to emit violent cracking sounds.
“Kill!” Xu Changkong shouted coldly, an ancient aura surging from him. He drew a white spear, pouring powerful primal energy into it, and unleashed his strongest trump card technique.
This was the martial technique he had gained from the broken stone spear, most powerful when used with it. Though the stone spear was broken, he had to make do with the white spear.
“Spear of Extinction, Kill!”
With a resounding shout, Xu Changkong swung the white spear downward with both hands.
The white spear carried immense force, as if it could pierce the void itself, and surged towards Lin Xiao with overwhelming power.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was fully prepared. Holding the Yaoguang broken sword with both hands, he activated the Yaoguang Sword Technique.
His entire body became transparent, and dazzling white light radiated from his surface, illuminating the entire area with blinding brilliance.
Under the stronger primal energy driving the Yaoguang Sword Technique, the broken Yaoguang sword was unleashed with even greater terror. An immensely terrifying wave surged from the sword, rippling outward like raging waves, with overwhelming pressure enveloping the heavens and earth.
It was as if the heavens and earth could not contain this sword, trembling and on the verge of shattering.
“Kill!”
A cold voice came from Lin Xiao’s mouth, and the Yaoguang broken sword swung fiercely, unleashing an even more dazzling sword beam. Carrying the power to annihilate the heavens, it surged towards the two.
At the same time, in Lin Xiao’s mind, a mysterious pattern activated, unleashing a martial technique derived from the Eternal Heavenly Spirit Art. After stepping into the mid-level fifth-grade spirit controller realm, the Devouring Azure Flame he could wield had grown immensely powerful. A massive black-cyan energy palm condensed in the air, exuding a terrifying devouring force that seemed to swallow the surrounding space, dimming it.
Simultaneously, a fearsome incinerating power, as if capable of burning the nine heavens, caused the temperature of the entire area to rise.
Boom!
The black-cyan energy palm followed the Yaoguang sword beam, surging towards the two’s forces.
This strike combined primal energy and spiritual energy, not much different from their combined attack.
“Boom!”
As the two forces collided, a deafening explosion erupted, and torrents of energy burst forth. Terrifying waves, like overturning rivers and seas, surged towards the two above with overwhelming force.
“Pfft!” “Pfft!”
Under the terrifying impact, both Cao Youwei and Xu Changkong spat out blood, their bodies sent flying.
In that moment, everyone was shocked. Lin Xiao alone had defeated their strongest combined strike, injuring them both?
“Swishdeel”
At this moment, Lin Xiao’s body shot forward, riding the surging waves, rushing towards the retreating Cao Youwei. With primal energy surging within him, at a distance of dozens of yards, he thrust both palms forward, directly unleashing the Heaven-Defying Three Forms martial technique.
