The joke is, would Mo Li want to see his demonic cultivation technique and just show it to him?
Even if there were words to ease the embarrassment, how could he perform whatever technique the opponent demanded?
How could he fight however the opponent wanted?
Moreover, using the Nether Heaven Demon Pillar and Nether Heaven Demon Technique consumed far too much energy.
Furthermore, with his seventh-level Martial Venerable cultivation, even if he unleashed the demonic attribute power and demonic essence, the combat strength he could muster might not be enough to defeat the opponent.
It would be better to directly activate the Immortal Skeleton Technique.
After refining the Nether Fire Evil Insect, his evil power had reached a considerably terrifying level.
He did not believe Mo Li could withstand it.
Moreover, he had used the Immortal Skeleton Technique before, so there was no need to hide it.
“Chi!”
In an instant, mysterious evil energy surged within the five bone patterns in Lin Xiao’s spine. A monstrous evil aura erupted from his spine, seeping out from his body.
Rolling white mist swirled around Lin Xiao’s body, and an extremely evil aura filled the entire battlefield. The barriers around the formation instantly resounded with a crackling noise, as if the entire space were trembling.
Sensing Lin Xiao’s aura, Mo Li’s brows furrowed deeply. Standing in the battlefield, he truly realised how terrifying the might of Lin Xiao’s strike was.
It was nothing like what they had seen from outside the arena.
“Not too interested, but since you insist on using it, I will take it on!”
Mo Li let out a deep shout. A majestic force surged, and rolling black mist burst forth from his arm. A black fist glow, as if coming from the depths of the underworld, carried a chilling aura and blasted towards Lin Xiao.
“Chi!”
At this moment, Lin Xiao threw a punch. The terrifying white evil energy, accompanied by rolling white mist, collided with Mo Li’s black fist glow.
“Boom!”
A thunderous roar echoed as the black fist glow shattered continuously. Unmatched white evil energy, carrying rolling waves, surged towards Mo Li.
“Not good!” Mo Li’s expression changed drastically. Black mist surged around him, but the weakened evil energy had already struck his body.
“Pfft!” Mo Li could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His entire body was sent flying, knocked out of the formation’s perimeter.
“I concede!”
At this moment, Lin Xiao spoke to Mo Li without pursuing him outside the formation.
After all, the opponent had shown no killing intent towards him, so there was no need to be ruthless. Offending the Demon Sect was not a wise move.
“Truly strong. I admit defeat!”
Coughing twice, Mo Li clutched his chest and retreated slowly.
“I thought the Demon Sect’s disciples were formidable. To challenge the top-ranked Lin Xiao right away, turns out he’s just average!”
“It’s not that Mo Li is weak, but Lin Xiao is too strong. This strike could not even be blocked by Sheng Li. For Mo Li to take it without being too heavily injured is already impressive. Perhaps he could fight Sheng Li.”
“Lin Xiao showed mercy. If he had intended to kill, Mo Li probably could not have escaped.”
“Indeed, Lin Xiao is too kind-hearted. If it were me, I’d kill every challenger and see who else dares to step up.”
“That would be seeking death. The Demon Sect still has Mo Yan. Offending the Demon Sect would make the next round dangerous. Lin Xiao is leaving himself a way out.”
“Mo Li might have just come to test Lin Xiao, not truly challenging his strength.”
…
Waves of discussion filled the surroundings. The young participants on the preliminary ranking list, seeing Mo Li easily defeated, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the second-ranked figure could defeat the top-ranked Lin Xiao, how could they fight in the upcoming battles?
“Challenge failed. Next, Absolute Blade Sect, Ren Jinghua!” After the two stepped down, the referee announced loudly.
At this moment, a young man leapt onto the stone platform. This youth had long eyebrows and sharp eyes, with a stern expression, clearly not an ordinary figure.
“Purple Dragon!” Ren Jinghua pointed at Purple Dragon and declared loudly.
Ren Jinghua choosing Purple Dragon did not cause much of a stir among the crowd. After all, Purple Dragon’s strength was only ranked seventh on the preliminary list.
The crowd even felt that Ren Jinghua was more pragmatic, not blindly arrogant like the previous challengers who went straight for the top three ranks.
Hearing this, Purple Dragon stood up and leapt onto the stone platform. He drew a long spear, holding it horizontally with a resounding aura, and said to Ren Jinghua, “Please!”
“Nine Absolute Heaven-Defying Blades, First Blade!”
Ren Jinghua unleashed an unparalleled sharp aura. A dazzling blade glow burst forth, with blade energy soaring to the heavens and overwhelming killing intent. This strike seemed to annihilate all living beings.
“Nine Absolute Heaven-Defying Blades, that’s the core martial technique of the Absolute Blade Sect, used to slay enemies. It’s said to be a technique the sect leader obtained in the盛世观, its rank unknown. Only the most core disciples of the Absolute Blade Sect are qualified to cultivate it. I didn’t expect Ren Jinghua to have mastered this technique!”
“It seems Ren Jinghua is highly valued by the Absolute Blade Sect. I wonder which blade he has cultivated to?”
“It’s said even the Absolute Blade Sect leader hasn’t fully mastered it. No matter how talented Ren Jinghua is, he probably only reached the second or third blade!”
“Nine Absolute Heaven-Defying Blades against Purple Dragon. I’m afraid Purple Dragon will struggle to win!”
…
The crowd exclaimed in waves. Amid their exclamations, Purple Dragon had already thrust his spear, blocking Ren Jinghua’s first blade.
However, Purple Dragon was pushed back several steps.
At this moment, Ren Jinghua’s second blade had already slashed out, even stronger, with even greater killing intent, heading towards Purple Dragon.
Purple Dragon’s long spear danced, his aura heavy, as if he were a dragon emerging from the abyss, ready to soar. His spear thrust forward, and a powerful spear glow collided with Ren Jinghua’s blade glow.
Yet, Purple Dragon’s spear was no match for Ren Jinghua and was pushed back several zhang.
At this moment, Ren Jinghua charged forward with large strides, unleashing another blade.
This blade seemed beyond Ren Jinghua’s own control, his body trembling as he slashed. The terrifying blade glow was countless times stronger than the previous two, and the killing intent within the blade energy reached its peak.
“Chi!” Opposite Ren Jinghua, Purple Dragon had already unleashed his Mysterious High-Rank Purple Spear phenomenon, executing his strongest spear strike.
“Boom!”
In a thunderous roar, everyone saw Ren Jinghua’s blade glow directly shatter Purple Dragon’s spear glow. With lightning speed, it slashed straight onto Purple Dragon’s body, passing through him.
Purple Dragon’s life force instantly vanished.
“What? Purple Dragon was killed by Ren Jinghua with a single blade?”
The crowd was utterly shocked.
Purple Emperor stood up abruptly, his expression filled with rage.
His direct grandson, one of the Purple Clan’s most talented geniuses, designated as the heir of this generation, had been killed…
The members of the Purple and Ling clans were shocked and filled with anger. Purple Spirit, standing at the edge of the stone platform, had a stern expression, with an involuntary killing intent emanating from her.
Lin Xiao’s eyes narrowed, a killing intent rising in his heart. He had not expected Ren Jinghua to kill Purple Dragon with a single blade.
Whether it was intentional or uncontrollable, it had taken Purple Dragon’s life. This debt, he would settle for Purple Dragon.
