“Crackle!”
A deep, mysterious light burst forth from Li Luo’s dantian, forming a vision like a jade cloud above her head. An overwhelming pressure, as if suppressing all things, radiated out, with a terrifying aura ravaging the heavens in all directions.
At the same time, a sharp aura emanated from Li Luo. An incomparably keen sword intent, as if piercing through all directions, surged from her body.
The momentum around Li Luo had reached its peak.
Clearly, she was about to unleash her strongest attack: the Mysterious High-Level Biluo Vision combined with Biluo Sword Intent.
It was the same move that had defeated Wu Shixun earlier.
“Li Heaven Form!”
With a resounding shout, Li Luo slashed her sword towards the sky. A terrifying azure sword beam, carrying overwhelming might, soared upward as if to split the heavens, its power utterly fearsome.
“Rumble!”
At the same time, above Lin Xiao’s head, amidst the rolling black clouds, a thunderclap exploded. Vast heavenly thunder poured down, merging into Lin Xiao’s broken sword and surging into his body.
“Thunder Judgment!”
Lin Xiao let out a thunderous roar, slashing out with his sword. A booming thunderclap erupted, and torrents of thunder burst forth, cascading like the heavens themselves, rushing diagonally downward with faint lightning contained within.
As the thunderous power emerged, the darkened heavens instantly became dazzlingly bright. The rolling black clouds above dispersed into the surrounding void.
“Rumble!”…
When the roaring heavenly thunder collided with the Li Heaven sword beam, an earth-shaking sound erupted, as if nine heavens of thunder had exploded. A radiance like ten suns flashed out, illuminating the heavens in all directions.
A storm of torrential energy exploded in that instant, shooting out in all directions. The void seemed on the verge of annihilation, the ground trembled, and the formation barrier around them resounded with intense clashing sounds.
Amid the overwhelming fluctuations, Lin Xiao’s body was pushed back diagonally upward.
However, Lin Xiao pressed on, wielding the Yaoguang Broken Sword in the air. In an instant, his entire body became translucent, and a dazzling, radiant white light burst from him. Vast, ocean-like fluctuations, centred on his body and the Yaoguang Broken Sword, surged outward in all directions, blocking the impact that had pushed him back.
As Lin Xiao was forced back to the edge of the formation above, he unleashed an unparalleled sword strike. An even brighter, dazzling white sword beam shot from the Yaoguang Broken Sword.
The infinitely powerful white sword beam, as if to annihilate all things, parted the rolling fluctuations and slashed towards Li Luo below.
“What!” Sensing an even more terrifying attack coming, Li Luo, who had been pushed back to the edge of the barrier by the previous strike, changed expression drastically. Without hesitation, she retreated, stepping out of the stone platform’s edge and exiting the formation barrier.
“Crackle! Crackle!”
In that instant, Li Luo felt a terrifying white sword beam strike the barrier before her. The barrier seemed on the verge of being annihilated, with a searing sound ringing out and fearsome power surging before her eyes.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Li Luo’s face, and she even felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, she had exited the barrier; otherwise, this strike would have injured her even if she had tried to block it.
She could never have imagined that Lin Xiao, at the Seventh-Level Martial Venerable realm, could unleash such an attack.
In terms of same-level combat strength, Lin Xiao’s power likely surpassed even her cousin, Li Renchou!
“Lin Xiao defeated Li Luo head-on, not relying on physical strength!”
“Comprehending Thunder Martial Intent and summoning heavenly thunder into his body, is this Lin Xiao some kind of monster?”
“That sword strike was terrifying too, no weaker than the thunder attack!”
“This talent and strength are too frightening. Heavens, is he even human?”
“Lin Xiao is simply defying the heavens. Duan Dongfeng’s death wasn’t unjust!”
“At the Seventh-Level Martial Venerable realm, he defeated a top-tier Second-Level Martial Lord. This is too unbelievable.”
“I feel like I’m witnessing the rise of a genius like a comet!”
“Lin Xiao’s name will surely spread throughout the entire Southeast Domain!”
…
At this moment, waves of astonished voices rang out, with countless people showing expressions of utmost admiration.
Comprehending Thunder Martial Intent and summoning heavenly thunder into his body, what kind of heaven-defying talent and means, what kind of monstrous physical strength, could achieve this?
A monster, truly a monster!
No wonder the Southeast Domain Youth Tournament had all sorts of prodigies.
Lin Xiao’s actions had already sparked the admiration of countless people!
The master of Wansiang Pavilion, Qu Shang, and others were all stunned. They had thought only Zi Ling could achieve good results in this ranking battle.
They hadn’t expected that Lin Xiao from the Zi family team would be so monstrous, standing out so prominently in the ranking battle.
Even if he couldn’t rank at the top, Lin Xiao’s results wouldn’t be poor, and he might even have a chance to make it into the top half.
The heads of Yunwu Tower, Baichuan Sea, Jin Xuan Hall, and others, along with their allied Xing Emperor and Li Emperor, were all shocked.
Initially, they thought Wansiang Pavilion chose the Zi family only because of Zi Long, and later because of the Sixth-Grade Initial Spirit Controller, Zi Ling.
Now, this Lin Xiao was also so extraordinary.
“No matter how strong his talent, he’ll end up just a corpse, a fleeting glory!” Xing Emperor thought darkly.
He had already instructed Xing Tian to kill Lin Xiao as well. No matter how dazzling, once dead, he’d be nothing but a passing cloud, merely a stepping stone for others, only boosting Xing Tian’s fame.
Of course, Duan Emperor, allied with Baichuan Sea, and Duan Tianya and others from the Duan family looked even more grim.
Especially Duan Tianya, who had thought Lin Xiao was insignificant. Now, the more he saw Lin Xiao’s strength, the more it struck him.
Even the Martial Emperor elders from the eight major sects were astonished, showing expressions of approval.
Of course, except for Ling Jian Sect.
Jian Wuqu’s expression grew even darker. He hadn’t expected Lin Xiao to have become stronger again, and his attempt to use Li Luo against him had failed.
“Hmph, even if he can defeat Li Luo and others, he’ll never be a match for Xiang Tianxing or Xing Tian!” Jian Wuqu thought darkly.
Yang Xiu beside him was also astonished.
Sheng Li, Xing Tian, and Xiang Tianxing also showed surprised expressions, but Xing Tian and Xiang Tianxing sneered inwardly, viewing Lin Xiao as nothing but a dead man.
“Lin Xiao wins. Next match, Zi Long draws!” the referee’s voice rang out.
At this moment, Li Luo walked back to Li Renchou’s side, somewhat dejected.
“Don’t be discouraged. This guy’s real show is still to come. He hasn’t even used his stronger trump cards yet,” Li Renchou said with a smile, comforting Li Luo.
“He has stronger trump cards?” Li Luo was shocked. He defeated her, and Lin Xiao still had trump cards he hadn’t used?
Li Renchou nodded.
“I underestimated him!” Li Luo said, deflated.
But recalling Li Renchou’s words, she suddenly felt a bit annoyed. Telling her not to be discouraged while saying Lin Xiao had stronger trump cards he hadn’t used against her, was this supposed to comfort her? Was this really her cousin?
“Zi Long versus Jin Yuxuan!” At this moment, the referee’s voice rang out again. Li Luo and the crowd’s attention shifted back to Zi Long. The Zi family team was full of extraordinary talents; what would Zi Long’s combat strength be like?
