“Rumble!”…
The colossal sword beam, encompassing all things, collided with the surging heavenly thunder, unleashing an earth-shattering roar. A blinding light, like ten suns blazing in the sky, flashed out, instantly illuminating the heavens in all directions.
A torrential storm of energy erupted in that moment, the vast waves of power surging primarily towards Luo Huang’s direction. The void seemed on the verge of annihilation, the remaining peaks of the Nine Heavens Sect collapsed, and the ground trembled violently.
Luo Huang’s expression changed drastically. The distance was too close, the energy wave too swift. It struck him in an instant, shattering his protective Yuan Qi, sending his entire body flying far back, a large gulp of blood spurting from his mouth.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Lin Xiao’s combat strength not only allowed him to rival a Martial Emperor but also to injure a first-level Martial Emperor?
Wasn’t this just too formidable?
“This guy, he’s truly extraordinary,” Zi Ling exclaimed with joy after her initial shock.
“Now, let’s see how these Martial Emperors dare to trouble Lin Xiao,” Ling Hu chimed in.
Of course, they had already distanced themselves from the combat zone during the clash, or the shockwaves might have endangered their lives.
The members of the Spear Dragon Sect and Nine Heavens Sect near Zi Ling and Ling Hu grew excited.
Just moments ago, weren’t a group of Martial Emperors aggressively trying to kill Lin Xiao?
Now, with Lin Xiao possessing the strength to injure a first-level Martial Emperor, how could they possibly succeed?
At this moment, their gazes towards the other Martial Emperors still fighting were filled with vivid expressions.
“This kid, he defies all common sense!” Even Dongfang Kaiyuan sighed inwardly.
“In just one year, he’s already surpassed me,” Zi Huang thought, filled with countless emotions.
How long had Lin Xiao been in the Southeast Region? Less than a full year.
When they first met, Lin Xiao was only at the fourth level of the Martial Venerable realm.
Now, he could defeat him, and his strength was not much greater than Luo Huang’s.
This was simply unimaginable!
The other Martial Emperors of the Spear Dragon Sect were also filled with awe. Each of them, having achieved the Martial Emperor realm, had exceptional talent.
Yet now, in the face of Lin Xiao, their talents seemed utterly insignificant.
Sikong Jian and others looked particularly grim. They had offended Lin Xiao and allowed him to grow. If they didn’t find a chance to eliminate him, they would all face threats in the future.
At this moment, the most visibly shaken was the injured Luo Huang.
His face was filled with incredulous rage, unable to accept the reality before him.
“How is it possible? How could you injure me!” Luo Huang roared in disbelief, his body surging with rolling power.
“I’m not just going to injure you, I’m going to kill you!” Lin Xiao shouted in response.
As he spoke, a killing intent radiated from him, the strongest Yuan force within his chaotic Dantian surging forth. An earthy glow bloomed outside his Dantian.
In an instant, the heavens and earth changed colour, the sky above turning blood-red.
Roar!
A terrifying dragon’s cry resounded, a blood-red dragon phantom emerging in the air, exuding an ancient, desolate aura as if it had crossed through time. The overwhelming pressure swept across the heavens, causing the void to tremble as if in fear.
At this moment, Lin Xiao gripped his sword with both hands, his long hair dancing wildly, the Yaoguang Sword Technique circulating within him. His entire body brimmed with boundless power, becoming translucent, radiating a brilliant white light.
Immense power poured into the Yaoguang Broken Sword, as if awakening it. The sword also emitted an exceptionally bright, dazzling white light, filling the heavens and earth, nearly impossible to look at directly.
In that moment, as if amassing earth-shaking power, Lin Xiao’s body and the Yaoguang Broken Sword trembled faintly. The void seemed to quiver with them, an extremely terrifying subtle fluctuation rippling from both him and the sword.
At this moment, Lin Xiao seemed to transform into an unparalleled master, exuding an aura of eternal dominance.
“Yaoguang!”
With each word deliberately spoken, Lin Xiao unleashed the Yaoguang Sword Technique, augmented by the blood dragon phenomenon. He swung his sword down fiercely, the void trembling, an even brighter white sword beam shooting forth, carrying the power to annihilate all things. It slashed forward, its ancient pressure shaking the heavens and earth.
The Yaoguang Sword Technique, executed at the fifth level of the Martial Lord realm, was countless times stronger than before, causing many distant Martial Emperors to feel wary.
“What!”
Feeling the terrifying might of this strike, Luo Huang’s expression changed drastically. He unleashed his strongest prepared attack.
“Ten Thousand Luo Slash!”
A solemn voice came from Luo Huang’s mouth. Radiant light shone from his long sword, a massive sword beam, dozens of zhang long, formed as if from thousands of smaller beams, exuding an all-encompassing momentum, its power vast and unmatched.
“Rumble!”…
As the two forces collided, an earth-shattering sound erupted. Luo Huang’s sword beam shattered, and a faded white sword beam, carrying rolling waves of energy, struck Luo Huang’s body.
Pfft!
Luo Huang spat out a large mouthful of blood, his body flying far back once more.
This time, Luo Huang was gravely injured, far worse than before.
The crowd was shocked again.
Luo Huang’s face was filled with disbelief. No matter what, he couldn’t accept what had happened. In that last strike, he had used his strongest martial technique.
Yet, he was injured again by Lin Xiao, and this time, severely.
At this moment, Lin Xiao didn’t stop his assault. He charged forward, torrents of white energy surging from his body, an endless malevolent aura radiating outward, ravaging the heavens and earth, the entire space trembling.
In that instant, Lin Xiao seemed to transform into an evil god, filled with earth-shaking malevolent power, causing the onlookers’ hearts to tremble.
“Die!”
With a fierce punch, a terrifying white evil force shot from Lin Xiao’s fist, carrying rolling white mist, blasting forward through the air.
The overwhelming malevolent aura swept forward like a tidal wave.
Lin Xiao could clearly feel that, after breaking through to the fifth level of the Martial Lord realm, the evil power of the Immortal Skeleton Technique, with six bone patterns, had undergone a world-shaking transformation compared to before.
Its power was countless times more terrifying.
“You!”
Seeing Lin Xiao unleash such a fearsome attack, Luo Huang’s expression shifted repeatedly. He hurriedly pushed his power to the limit, unleashing his strongest trump card. The void trembled, a vast sword beam surging forth, clashing with the oncoming torrent of evil power.
