“It is Mo Cong! Mo Cong of the Bipo Sword!”
The crowd discovered the attacker and could not help but exclaim.
“No wonder this sword is so swift, so cunning, so ruthless! It turns out to be Mo Cong from Bipo Island. He is the top expert among the younger generation on Bipo Island!”
“Yes, his cultivation is probably no worse than Young Master Qingshan’s, but why would he sneak attack Ling Xiao?”
“Who knows? Probably some old grudge from before.”
After a moment of shock, the crowd began shouting one after another.
Mo Cong of the Bipo Sword was already powerful in strength.
Back in Sin City, Ling Xiao had not fought him and did not know this person at all.
Today, being sneak-attacked by this fellow was within his expectations, but the power and ruthlessness of the opponent’s moves surprised him a bit.
This sword was incredibly strong. Mo Cong clearly wanted his life.
Others did not know why Mo Cong did this, but Ling Xiao knew very well in his heart.
Bipo Island had basically been ruined by him. It would be strange if Mo Cong did not seek revenge.
“Shatter!”
Ling Xiao neither dodged nor evaded. He released scorching power from his body, instantly shattering the ice crystals. At the same time, he raised his left hand, and the Radiant Divine Sword met the attack.
“Die for me!”
Mo Cong roared in fury.
He had waited for this day far too long.
If not for Ling Xiao, he would still be the young master of Bipo Island, a heroic youth in the eyes of countless young martial artists.
If not for Ling Xiao, he could have had more resources to break through obstacles and raise his cultivation to a higher level before the Dragon Phoenix Selection.
If not for Ling Xiao, his father would not have died, Bipo Island would not have been destroyed, and he would not have submitted to the Ice Phoenix Clan like a dog, becoming someone else’s slave.
He blamed all of this on Ling Xiao.
Although he had never fought Ling Xiao, and his near-death experience was not caused by Ling Xiao, he still hated Ling Xiao to the bone.
Because he did not dare seek revenge on the real enemies.
The Ice Phoenix Clan was too powerful. With his own strength, he was not even enough to be crushed by one of their fingers.
Mo Cong, who had luckily survived, came to the Divine Phoenix Imperial Capital. He had planned to join the Divine Phoenix Academy, but they looked down on him as the young master who had lost Bipo Island.
The Ice Phoenix Clan promised to help him, but required him to become a slave.
For revenge, he abandoned his dignity. At this moment, including the resentment of becoming a slave, he wanted to vent it all on Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao must die!
“Feng Ming, Freeze Instant!”
At that moment, Feng Ming Qingshan did not give up on continuing his attack.
Although Mo Cong’s sneak attack seemed very secure, after witnessing Ling Xiao’s abilities, he absolutely dared not be the least bit careless.
Unless Ling Xiao died, he would never stop his attacks.
Today, it was either Ling Xiao dies or he dies. That was the situation now.
“Brother Ling, I will help you!”
Ji Luoyu jumped out and was about to join the fray.
“Step back!”
Ling Xiao said calmly. “Two shameless villains cannot do anything to me.”
Ling Xiao had long grown accustomed to the shamelessness of these enemies.
So he never harboured illusions that his opponents would truly fight him one-on-one.
Actually, he could have let Leng Mei act.
As long as Leng Mei made a move, these two would undoubtedly die.
But he did not do so, because there was no need. Although Feng Ming Qingshan and Mo Cong teaming up would probably kill an ordinary Fifth Heavenly Cave Realm martial artist.
But Ling Xiao was not ordinary.
Moreover, in his view, Feng Ming Qingshan was just a defeated subordinate. At this point, Feng Ming Qingshan could at best exert half his strength.
Clang!
The piercing sound finally exploded.
Ling Xiao’s Radiant Divine Sword clashed with Mo Cong’s Bipo Sword.
The terrifying impact sent debris flying everywhere. Many people could not open their eyes due to the fierce wind.
Ling Xiao used the force of the clash to quickly retreat, avoiding Feng Ming Qingshan’s attack. Then he calmly looked at Feng Ming Qingshan and said, “You had better not make a move. Otherwise, later on, even without me acting, you will surely die.”
“Nonsense. Now you are afraid, right? But it is useless. Today you must die.”
Feng Ming Qingshan’s eyes were bloodshot with killing intent. How could he possibly believe Ling Xiao’s words?
In his view, Ling Xiao said such absurd things because he could not face both him and Mo Cong at the same time.
It was simply ridiculous.
“So strong!”
The crowd’s assessment of Ling Xiao rose another level.
That truly had been a hair’s breadth moment just now.
Mo Cong’s attack was a sneak attack, silent and instantaneous, reaching right in front of Ling Xiao.
Plus Feng Ming Qingshan’s harassment, an ordinary martial artist would have panicked in such a situation.
But Ling Xiao always seemed to have predicted everything, steadily proceeding according to his plan.
He used Mo Cong’s sword to dodge Feng Ming Qingshan’s attack. This was simply art, no longer just martial techniques.
Mo Cong’s face looked slightly ugly.
He had seized the best opportunity to kill Ling Xiao with a sneak attack, but unexpectedly did not even touch a hair on him.
This terrifying guy Ling Xiao was like a fortune teller, seeming to precisely judge what he would do.
Then he even used his attack.
Back in Sin City, this guy was not this strong. It had been less than half a year. How could he have become so terrifying?
No, he must be killed today!
Otherwise, there would be no chance later!
Mo Cong gritted his teeth. His gaze showed a trace of indifference. The killing intent on his Bipo Sword grew stronger. His figure did not retreat. The long sword thrust again, instantly closing in on Ling Xiao once more.
“Originally, Bipo Island could have kept you as its last seedling, but now it seems you do not want to live properly.”
A strong killing intent flashed in Ling Xiao’s eyes.
He originally had no intention of killing Mo Cong. After all, in the Sin City incident, Mo Cong had never fought him.
But now Mo Cong wanted to kill him. With his personality, how could he let go of someone who wanted his life?
Since the other party sought death, he would oblige.
“Radiant Divine Sword, Rising Sun Form!”
What was originally just an ordinary Radiant Divine Sword for defence suddenly became even more dazzling at this moment.
“Ahhh!”
Feng Ming Qingshan, who was charging over, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he twitched. It looked like he would not survive.
Looking back at Ling Xiao, his Rising Sun-like Radiant Divine Sword clashed once more with Mo Cong’s Bipo Sword.
After just a brief contact, the Bipo Sword turned entirely red, as if burned through.
This terrifying heat spread from the Bipo Sword to Mo Cong’s right hand. That right hand and arm became bloody and mangled in an instant, accelerating the decay.
“Ahhh!”
Mo Cong finally let out a scream too. He flung away the Bipo Sword, which had almost completely turned red, as if discarding a venomous snake that could take his life at any moment.
And his sword-holding right hand was now completely crippled.
